For their sixth full-length LP, Get What You Deserve, Sodom went in a vastly different musical direction from their previous efforts. Gone were the thrash metal theatrics of such records as Persecution Mania, Agent Orange, and Better Off Dead. Also nowhere to be found were the flirtations with death metal showcased on their previous studio album, 1992's Tapping the Vein. These were replaced with a full-on adoption of the stripped down punk ethos, with sixteen bass-driven compositions of varying quality.
If Get What You Deserve had to be described in one word, it would be grimy. The production on the album sounds gritty, and rough around the edges. Tom Angelripper's fat, overdriven bass, and shouted vocals are the focal point of the record, as the guitar is merely an afterthought. Although he is somewhat buried in the mix, Andy Brings, on his second and final outing with Sodom, turns in a serviceable performance as a background piece, and his treble-laden tone provides a nice counterpoint to Angelripper's rumbling bass. Newcomer Atomic Steif, who had replaced longtime member Chris Witchunter on drums the previous year, is far more precise and cleaner as a player than Witchunter ever was.
Although it is sonically pleasing in a lo-fi sense, the compositions make for an album of peaks and valleys, with great songs and completely forgettable ones often alternating throughout the record, one by one. You can two memorable songs, such as "Jesus Screamer", and the German-language punk rager "Die Stumme Ursel", separated by a totally unspectacular crossover/thrash workout, "Delight in Slaying". Angelripper's lyrics have taken a turn for the seriously meat-headed on this album, as well. Songs such as the delightfully stupid "Eat Me" are peppered with lazy and sometimes uncomfortably specific sexual metaphors. Despite this, there is an undeniable energy to Get What You Deserve that is hard to ignore. Cuts such as "Sodomized" and the title track, which opens the album, are chock-full of riffs that can send one into a frenzy. The aforementioned "Eat Me", despite the ridiculous lyrics, plods along with a delightful Motörhead-esque simplicity. The instrumental "Tribute to Moby Dick" hits the listener like a ton of bricks, with whale noises superimposed over plodding, doom-ish guitars. The song it leads into, "Silence is Consent" is probably the best song on the album, and has some semblance of melody, a rarity for Sodom.
Despite the many memorable cuts, there are the aforementioned forgettable tracks which really bog the record down. Tracks such as "Into Perdition" and "Fellows in Misery" come of as pretty stock and boring, and nothing really sticks out about them. "Unbury the Hatchet" is more Motörhead worship, but the track comes and goes without much fanfare. Overall, while Get What You Deserve is a highly uneven affair, It is a decently fun listen, made worthwhile by songs such as "Die Stumme Ursel" and "Silence is Consent", and the atmosphere of grime and grease. As far as the paths taken during the 1990s by prominent thrash metal bands, one could definitely do a lot worse than Sodom did.
The sixth effort from German thrashers Sodom, "Get What You Deserve," is quite easily the odd-man-out in the bands' discography, for while it has plenty of merits on its own the fact that it appears out-of-place where it is in their collection of albums makes this one stand out all the more so.
More than perhaps any other album in their history, this one demonstrates the band's punk-influenced leanings front-and-center for all to see, which as a whole seems to be a rather curious placement for this one in their discography. Their previous efforts had already shown the band dropped the vast punk elements that had been a part of their early sound in favor of a devastating blend of technical death/thrash with minor hints of the ferocity of black metal, with touches of punk energy being the only remaining influence found within. However, rather than keep up with that style or experiment with the sound as they had so capably shown could happen on the last record this one decides to abandon nearly all those elements in favor of what could arguably called war-punk as it's more in feeling and tone with the original sound the band debuted with. Any and all semblance of technicality is gone as well as the lengthy, complex compositions that had become the band's trademark, replaced instead with punk-ragers filled with simplistic, vicious and intense riffing that carries the energy and tone of the band's past works but hardly has any of the thrashing madness they were known for. Occasionally it'll whip itself into a frenzy with some thrash beats and riffing, but far too much of the album contains rocking punk-like riffs built on simplistic chords carried throughout the song as a whole and varying only slightly along the way. Armed with loud, pounding and simplified drumming that retains far more thrash in it due to the momentum and surprising dexterity afforded to the playing that is usually a part of their playing anyway so to see it carried over anyway is a nice connection to the past. Still, the shortened lengths for the songs are what really stick out here, with an equal running time for the whole album generated through an additional number of tracks as only three go over three minutes in length while everything else is barely two-and-a-half on average, one of which doesn't even generate two minutes running time. This abbreviated time is a heightened example of the punk influence on the writing not allowing for a lot of really complex ideas to be integrated into the proceedings, instead getting down to business and moving on regardless of the destruction of the target that's in total conflict to their past works where the band preferred to wait around and devastate with total authority to move on only when that total devastation was assured to have been accomplished. To have regressed in such a manner is quite curious and is overall more of a personal preference manner of attack that has nothing to do with the album as a whole. All of this practically means that there's no real change or difference in the album from one-side to another. The halves aren't split into changes that are drastically different, for if you found the songs good on the first half that style is repeated in the second.
There's not a whole lot here that really sticks out in terms of the individual songs as this one tends to be pretty straightforward how it goes about its business. The opening title track features strong drumming with plenty of vicious riffing, steel-faced punk-like attitude and energy with thrash riffing around the solo before a return to hybrid punk-like riffing to start this off nicely. The somewhat-bizarre 'Jabba the Hut' features screaming schizophrenic riffing and blasting drumming that keeps the energy going strong in a blazing punk-rocker without too many thrash influences. That's rectified in the shorter-but-vicious 'Jesus Screamer,' which goes through a blasting intro with pounding drumming, totally chaotic riffing and actually manages to mix the punk and thrash quite nicely with slightly more technical riffing than before and with pure thrash vocals in its devastating, tight package, emerging as one of the album's highlights. 'Delight in Slaying' features simple riffing in a straight-forward, frenetic-paced rager with blasting drumming at vicious speeds and minor tempo changes for a somewhat thrash-like feel that gets the closest to the band's classic sound as the record gets. One of the few experimental tracks here is the simple, rocking 'Die stumme Ursel,' which stays a punk-filled mid-tempo rager with simplified performances, constant pace with thunderous drumming and a schlager-esque feel due to the simplified chorus begging for a sing-a-long that gets as close as the band comes to such a tactic in their writing and remains one of the stand-out songs for such a feel. 'Freaks of Nature' is another blasting thrasher built around vicious riffing with more traditional thrash elements, especially in the bass-work, and haunting atmosphere around the backing vocals that retain a violent, intense vibe for another stand-out song. Changing things up is 'Eat Me,' with its simple, punk-drumming intro with restrained, mid-tempo riffing and pace that adapts thrash-like pacing around the minor solos and remains in consistent gear for the majority of its duration. The raging 'Unbury the Hatchet' returns to more rocking punk-like riffing with plenty of intense drumming, punk riff-work that still moves along at a high-speed and packs tons of energy in a quick pace, ending the first half on a positive note.
The second half is pretty much the same as it was the first time around and features many stylistically similar tracks overall. 'Into Perdition' starts this half of the album with dark, intense riffing with pounding drums, brutal vocals and a steady, vicious pace with sporadic moments of chaotic razor-wire riffs off-set by continuous blasting pace, pretty much what was given to us initially. The album's most brutal track, 'Sodomized,' is a vicious monster with thrash-like riffing and intense drumming keeping a steady pace as the vicious riffs lend it a chaotic vibe amidst the simplistic thrashing and energy-fueled performances, generating another stand-out. 'Fellows in Misery' has another standard energetic thrash intro with traditional riff-work and thrashing drums to off-set the chaotic vibe and blasting tempo that keeps the whole affair rather frantic and intense. The usual experimental track, 'Tribute to Moby Dick' is a bizarre instrumental that retains an epic feeling with slow-building doom-esque riffing, restrained drumming and whale singing over the top of an attempted intense series of riffs that falls short with its placement on the album. Following that is another misstep in 'Silence Is Consent,' as its feedback-riddled intro with blazing drums, simplistic riffing and plenty of energy that just feels like a carbon copy of the other tracks without the urgency or intensity that littered those tracks. The rousing 'Erwachet!' features a load of high-energy punk-like drumming with splendid energy, chaotic riffing and frantic vibe in a short package that really gets itself over quite nicely. This is repeated in 'Gomorrah,' as the chaotic energetic riffing with punk-drumming display, urgent razor-wire riffing with a barnburner off-the-rails feel, dirty vocals and driving intensity generates an impressive feel overall and creates another album highlight. Things end on a high-note with the cover of Venom's 'Angel Dust,' a raging mid-tempo rocker with plenty of pounding drumming, simplistic riffing that feels in spirit of the original and comes faithfully close in most respects as it's in keeping with the feel and flow of the bands' original tracks on the album and ends up closing the album nicely.
Frankly, this is one of the most confusing efforts in their whole discography, offering plenty of elements that should make it work on its own there's just the innate feeling that something is missing. More than likely it's due to this album appearing at the wrong placement in the release order of their albums as this tends to present far more closely-conceptual releases to the first album rather than the technically-proficient death/thrash that had been the focus of their previous record and therefore feels like it should be placed in line with that release. It's more of a regression than a progression where it's placed now, and that may turn off some expecting another round after such an impressive outing the last time around, despite the fact that under most circumstances this is still an overall solid album, which is filled with passionate performances, devastating songs and a total blast of energy overall that makes several songs quite infectious. As it stands, though, this one is rather more for the bands' fans than just general thrash fans like the majority of their material.
Having renewed their approach to extremity on 1992's Tapping the Vein, Tom Angelripper and company decided not to simply repeat themselves, but explore their tendency towards raucous punk rock to its natural conclusion. The result was Get What You Deserve, a pretty severe splatter/party album which fuses this attitude with the band's metallic fundamentals, for a fairly unique sound that remains entirely Sodom. The bass becomes the central instrumental here, which is unusual despite the 3-piece configuration: Tom has always been an impressive, thick player, but the guitars were there to match his prowess. Here, his distorted lines are the dominant force, after which Tom's death barking, Atomic Steiff's relentless pounding, and Andreas Brings' thin, savage tones splay out in descending order of importance.
Get What You Deserve is rather a mess, but a hot mess reeking of blood, alcohol and semen, like the dire cover image might suggest. Most importantly, it's fucking heavy. Turn this up to an appropriate volume and the bass will rattle your bones and teeth, almost like experiencing it in a live setting. Certain of the tracks rely on pure punk rock aggression, like "Die Stumme Ursel", "Eat Me!", "Fellows in Misery", and "Erwachet", all of which fester in the simplicity of the familiar riffing (Sodom have never written interesting punk tunes, settling with the standard chord progressions) and Tom's omnipotence in the mix. But there are also tunes with a little more bite to them: "Jesus Screamer" is a ripping, hardcore blasphemy; "Delight in Blasphemy", "Gomorrah" and "Into Perdition" rekindle memories of In the Sign of Evil and Obsessed by Cruelty; "Tribute to Moby Dick" is a riot of slow, doomed thrash and whale samples, completely unexpected even if the riffs are bland.
The album is closed with a cover of Venom's legendary "Angel Dust", only too natural in this environment of originals, for that band was likewise influenced by the excess of punk attitude and simple songwriting which Sodom are emulating here. I won't lie and say that Get What You Deserve belongs among the band's more recognized works. Personally, I'm just not a fan of the guitar tones, no matter what sacrifice they are making for the raw swagger of the basslines, and more importantly, I'm not a fan of the guitar writing. It seems almost an afterthought here, and my favorite memories of this German staple all consist of those with strong (Blackfire) axe work. But as a 90 degree diversion from the band's usual course, it's fun enough to just crank the damn thing and ride the overbearing, violent impulses, even when the back of the mind mourns for the lack of a "Sodomy and Lust" or "Agent Orange".
The new Sodom incarnation was already introduced on the Aber Bitte Mit Sahne! EP, besides that unpredictable Udo Jürgens cover title-track, the band started introducing a more punkish sound on both "Skinne Alive '93" and the new tune "Sodomized". On the following record, Angelripper & his team decided to play pure and simple punk, even though their attitude and riffing had always been reminiscent of that alternative music style. We're talking of 1994, when thrash bands weren't playing thrash, when groove, grunge and alternative brit-pop were still fashionable and successful – Sodom were aware of the requirements of the current metal scene and pushed away the total thrash formulas on Tapping The Vein to play something different, fortunately without selling out or obeying the contemporary passing trends. The result was 15 raw songs, plus a Venom cover which confirmed the remarkable efficiency and proficiency of this new formation. According to Tom:
"We started rehearsing right after Atomic Steif was hired. We didn't have much time since the EP Aber Bitte Mit Sahne! was scheduled for release and the TNT studio in Gelsenkirchen was already booked. The rehearsals and recordings were completed swiftly. This time though not with Harris Johns with whom we had worked together fantastically since 1987. We just wanted a different producer, a different sound".
Some of these tunes could be perfectly described strictly as thrash – "Sodomized" and "Fellows In Misery" embrace speed metal principles with notable dynamism and vigor of lines and beats as well, instrumentally minimalist and accenting Tom's verses. Technically, other cuts like "Delight In Slaying" and "Into Perdition" are undeniably simplistic – structures rarely present transcendental alterations or shifts, accompanying lyrics as backing without complexity or pomposity, even solos are more concise and straighter than ever. Essence of riffs on those numbers is predominantly thrashy, whose textures are crude and harsh, going quite fast and eluding complicated schemes to support Angelripper's persistent vocals and choruses basically. "Jabba The Hut" and "Get What You Deserve" maintain that level of ferocity and power, however exposing weightier tempos with greater heaviness and cadence, less thrashy but adding more versatile song-bodies and arrangements – including more convincing instrumental sections in less than 3 minutes. Soon Sodom simplify completely their ways and deliver generally punkish riffage and attitude on "Freaks Of Nature", "Gomorrah" and "Erwachet!" on an intense discharge of total aggression and insatiable speed, reducing the difficulty of music's configuration, the diversity of structures and virtually excluding instrumental sequences from the equation. Those songs might not be specially ambitious or musically rich but feature great pulse and fire, coming out naturally without preconceived intentions, revealing honesty and real punkish vision from these guys. "Eat Me" and "Die Stumme Ursel" on other hand slow down with more accessible beats, presenting hilarious lyrics, demonstrating the good sense of humor of the band, while "Tribute To Moby Dick" adds low-tuned riffs that create a darker climax with heavier, crushing lines and decent progression.
Sodom formulas are now simpler, at times completely minimalist and unpretentious, focused on the message, attitude and lyrics rather than instrumental section itself. Those abrasive, loose riffs are played with passion, fury and enthusiasm – their design however didn't demand real effort and skill from the group, neither those easy, mostly uniform structures but these guys manage to make those simplistic patterns work, offering refreshing, energetic and amusing music that reflects their philosophy and character on a remarkably honest attempt. Actually, this terrific line-up proves unique precision and ability, despite the obvious simplicity of their new musical concept – technical level has been reduced to the minimum but that terminal velocity, those blast-beats and truly quick riffs require certain virtuosism, not just a chaotic bunch of noise. Sodom possessed the capability to execute those cuts immaculately without collapsing clumsily. Tom recalls:
"Everyone who knows anything about music will notice that we didn't use any overdubs. There's one guitar, one bass, drums and vocals. We noticed that we worked together and got along extremely well. Sometimes you don't have to talk a lot to write a song. Andy had a guitar riff, Steif joined in right away, added the bass, lyrics were also quickly written. We wrote a new song almost every time we rehearsed".
Atomic Steif hasn't got many opportunities to deliver rich, skilled fills and rolls due to the basic composition of tempos, yet his double-bass technique reveals absolute control, not going haywire on those impossible rapid parts. Andy & Tom's performance is also far from challenging, yet the freshness, cohesion and rigor of those lines are something very few punk musicians could match. Song-writing process seems to be accomplished with spontaneity, without much effort or attention from the group, making the music come out fluidly and proving clearly it's about the attitude and not the technique, complexity or dexterousness this time. It's not a pose, they ain't intending to play ferociously, fast and loose to satisfy the standards of certain music style or subculture as none of these songs sounds forced. Actually, Angelripper & co. add their own ideas to the punk equation with unexpected sense of humor, alternative titles and lyrics about depravity, lust, animal rights and whales(!).
The regression of their thrash sound to the early evolutionary stage of punk was a nice choice to play something distinct, ignoring what their peers were doing, doing what they wanted instead: good music, enjoying it, remaining true to their roots. Get What You Deserve is certainly the less-ambitious, most technically minimalist and effortlessly executed album on their career, musically simpler than anything else they ever did but plenty of cool songs, real punkish attitude and charming sense of humor. Featuring a truly professional rhythm section and a promising, enthusiastic young guitarist like Brings, Sodom was one of the most consistent acts in the Teutonic mid-90's scene. Each of the members of this line-up got along remarkably-well musically as the fluidity, grace and inspiration reflected on each of these numbers demonstrate.
I have been a Sodom fan since the beginning of their lengthy career. Some of their releases have been utterly classic, some just average, and others sub-par at best. "In the Sign of Evil" was the sickening template for so many death/black/& thrash metal bands to follow, while "Persecution Mania" displayed blackened thrash at it's finest.
Sodom is a band that often sways from one style to another between releases. This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what your taste is. I, for one am much more inclined to revel in the onlaught of the more intense Sodom sound, whether it be the early, raw, pure evil of the aforementioned "In the Sign of Evil" or the progression to the violent thrash of "Persecution Mania". The brutal, almost death metal sound of "Tapping the Vein" is also very much to my liking. I am not so interested in the polished, hooky sounds of albums like "Better Off Dead" & "M-16".
Here, with "Get What You Deserve", you receive a sick, aggressive, & raw Sodom with a mixture of all things violent. There are hints of hardcore punk, but when it comes down to it, it is just Sodom being outright vicious. Songs such as the title track "Get What You Deserve", along with standouts "Jesus Screamer", "Into Perdition", & "Delight in Slaying" all give you the up beat nasty noise of Sodom, mixed with the catchiness they have perfected so well.
On this slab of ugliness, Angelripper's vox are of the bleeding throat style which are my favorite from his arsenal of vocal styles, and his bass sound is extremely sick. Steiff's drums are super aggressive & hectic which adds to the mayhem. Randall's guitar is a little low in the mix at times, but it's plenty dirty and it fits this version of the band just as I would expect.
Fans of the more disgusting, filthily crafted Sodom, definitely need to own this. While some fans may want their German Sodomy rooted more in the laid back, less aggressive style, I strongly prefer the bombastic feel of the band, which is most definitely displayed on "Get What You Deserve".
This album is in my opinion the turning point for Sodom, but I don't mean in a good way. To me Get What You deserve is a turning point for its sound and for the new influences this band added to the classic, old school thrash metal. If the previous Tapping The Vein was incredibly violent with a pounding production, this one is characterized by more punk influences and a rawer sound. The line up has changed again and maybe the various members contribute in bringing new sounds to add to the classic Sodom mixture of death/thrash.
The drumming, in particular, is way more minimal and punk than before and even if Witchhunter was not Portnoy, this time the new drummer is even rawer. Sodom never cared about this and I love them for that. They've always preferred raw sonorities and not awesome musicians but the result has always been the same: good music. Some albums, like Agent Orange, Persecution Mania or the recent M-16 are far more thrash and way better than this Get What You Deserve, but I can't say this is a bad effort, not at all. It depends on the tastes, but here we must remark the heavier dosage of punk/hardcore influences.
The drumming, as I said before, is very childish and raw, with the fast alternation of simple beats on the snare and on the bass drum. "Jesus Screamer" and "Delight in Slaying" are just two starters if we talk about the punk sounds while even the most thrash songs like the title track and "Jabba The Hut" always show a more hardcore approach with lots of simple open chords riffs and raging vocals by the unmistakable To Angelripper. To me the real highlight in this album is the total punk "Die Stummel Ursel", where the band even not playing so fast is always compact and funny through catchy melodies and rough vocals.
The production is not awesome and far more primordial than the previous efforts, Tapping The Vein included. It's not a perfect one, for sure, and the guitars are a bit too low compared to the drums. The bass is almost absent but it's more audible during the slow open chords parts like in "Eat Me!". The length of these songs is quite short but to me 16 songs are a bit excessive because to do that you must play always compact, with no hesitations and weak parts; a thing that Sodom are not able to do on this CD. Sometimes the riffs are too similar and even if we can always enjoy the various punk parts (very nice, actually), the boredom is always ready to attack.
"Into perdition" fortunately is more thrash with that early death metal component that was a trademark for Sodom in those days. Also the bass is far more hammering behind the always massive drums volume. "Fellow in Misery" could have been great on In The Sign of Evil EP for the black/punk riffs while I'm still reflecting about the utility of a track like "Tribute to Moby Dick". "Silence is Consent" in some parts is almost hilarious for the punk riffs and "Gomorrah" is a direct continuation. Here Sodom are almost unrecognizable.
Overall, it's a goodish album by Sodom. Sixteen tracks are the perfect demonstration of how much Sodom got into hardcore/thrash metal at the time and some of them are completely forgettable. On the other hand there are remarkable parts and tracks that anyway can't compete with the past ones or with the ones from 'Till death Do Us Unite up to recent times.
Get What You Deserve marks a departure from Sodom's signature thrash sound and seminal albums like Persecution Mania and Agent Orange, which put them in the same league with fellow German acts Kreator and Destruction and established them as one of the protagonists of the 80s thrash wave. This is a noticeably stripped-down version of Sodom, one that sheds some typical thrash metal conventions and aims at an uncompromisingly raw, punkish sound instead.
The most obvious difference to both earlier and later Sodom albums is the length of the songs, which are fairly short for the most part, rarely eclipsing the three-minute mark. Another major deviation from the tried and true Sodom formula, which is in direct relation to the one just mentioned, is the overall lack of guitar solos. There aren't too many solos on this album, and that's not a good thing, since catchy solos are one of Sodom's definite strengths and a big reason why some of their older releases, like Agent Orange for example, are considered legitimate thrash classics.
The production is also different here, sounding very raw and unpolished, even a bit fuzzy at times. Sodom recorded this album as a three-piece with only one guitarist and apparently went for a production capturing their live sound in those days, eschewing guitar overdubs and using only a single guitar track instead. This leads to some instances when the guitar sounds thin and indistinct, particularly during some of the faster parts, when it is barely audible beneath the heavily distorted bass and relentlessly pounding drums (just listen to "Into Perdition", for instance, and you'll know what I mean).
Speaking of fast, one thing that's certainly not missing on Get What You Deserve is speed. In fact, there's plenty of speed here, as the songs generally move along at an extremely quick pace, with only a few exceptions, such as the instrumental track "Tribute to Moby Dick", the brutal "Sodomized" (oh boy …) or the grinding "Eat Me", which might as well be a Motörhead cover. In many ways, the whole record could basically be characterized as Motörhead on speed—just reduce the tempo by a small margin, add cleaner production values and insert Lemmy's characteristic vocals, and what you get could easily pass as a forgotten Motörhead album.
On the other hand, there are instances when Get What You Deserve reminds me a lot of the proto-black metal Sodom used to play in their early days on records like In the Sign of Evil and Obsessed by Cruelty. This is mainly due to the insane speed of most of the songs, Angelripper's unusually harsh vocals and the sloppy, raw, somewhat low-fi production, which together create an evil, slightly chaotic atmosphere that was also present on Sodom's very early releases. One could even argue that Get What You Deserve, since it's basically a raw blend between thrash, black metal, punk and Motörhead, is not all that different from what black metal figureheads Darkthrone did on their last record, The Cult Is Alive.
When it comes to the lyrics, however, there aren't many similarities to black metal. Unlike most other Sodom albums, the lyrics on Get What You Deserve don't explicitly deal with war, and they certainly aren't concerned with Satan, even though some of them at least showcase a marked anti-Christian attitude, such as "Jesus Screamer" and "Erwachet". Others deal with rather odd topics like the extinction of endangered species ("Silence Is Consent"), sex and sexually abnormal behavior ("Die stumme Ursel", which is obviously not to be taken very seriously, "Fellows in Misery", "Sodomized" and several others) and Jabba the Hut—yes, THE Jabba the Hut! Unfortunately, as can be inferred from some of the song titles, the lyrics frequently go a little over the top and cross the boundary to utter ludicrousness more often than one would prefer.
Despite such shortcomings, Get What You Deserve still passes as a pretty decent album. You really have to admire the uncompromising badass attitude that's on display here, and some of the raunchy punk/thrash/black metal bastards on this record are actually quite enjoyable—particularly the short but sweet "Jesus Screamer", "Sodomized" (as long as you ignore the lyrics), the lightning-fast "Silence Is Consent", "Gomorrah" and the nicely done Venom cover "Angeldust" come to mind. But if you should happen to be new to the band and considering getting your first Sodom album, this is probably not the one you'd want to start with, as it's not representative of the band's trademark sound. To find out what Sodom are really all about, try anything from Persecution Mania to Tapping the Vein or anything after 'Til Death Do Us Unite first. Once you've checked those out, Get What You Deserve is definitely worth a listen.

End of an era: Jazz coach Jerry Sloan ends 23-year run
Tom Smart, Deseret News
Previous coverage of Jazz coaching change
SALT LAKE CITY — The moment didn't include Jerry Sloan hopping onto a John Deere tractor and driving off into the sunset, as some might have imagined.
But the 68-year-old made it official Thursday afternoon in an emotional press conference: His era as the Utah Jazz's head coach is over.
Twenty-two-plus years, 1,127 wins, two NBA Finals trips, seven division championships, countless pick-and-rolls and choice words for referees, and one Hall of Fame induction later.
"It just seemed like this was the time to do it," Sloan said.
That was also the case for his longtime assistant Phil Johnson, who had been at Sloan's side since December 1988 after Frank Layden stepped down from his coaching position.
"I came with him," Johnson said, "and I'll leave with him."
After the door on that Sloan-Johnson legacy closed, the Jazz announced that the Tyrone Corbin Era had begun.
The former Jazz player, who coached under Sloan for the past seven years after a 16-year NBA career, was hired Thursday as the team's head coach, with no interim tag attached.
"We are confident in Ty's leadership, his character and his hard work," Jazz president Randy Rigby said, "and that it will continue to enrich a rich legacy of the Utah Jazz."
Corbin has some awfully big shoes to fill.
Sloan leaves behind him a legacy of unusual stability and loyalty, of a relentless blue-collar work ethic and a high level of success that has kept the Jazz among the upper-echelon in the NBA for decades despite being in a small market.
En route to being enshrined into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009, Sloan became the first coach in NBA history to eclipse the 1,000-win mark with one franchise.
He'd outlasted 245 coaching changes since being hired as the head coach in Utah on Dec. 9, 1988. He also finished his career as the third-winningest coach in NBA history.
Sloan's Jazz teams over the years made the postseason 19 times, won 50-plus games in 13 seasons and often set a standard of excellence in execution thanks to his success with star players such as John Stockton, Karl Malone, Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer.
"I have nothing but admiration for the way that you've coached this franchise," Jazz owner Gail Miller said.
Though reports claimed his decision came because of power clashes with Williams, Sloan pointed to his dipping energy level as the main reason.
He admitted recently reacquiring a feeling similar to the one he had when he got fired as the Chicago Bulls' coach in 1982.
"I have a feeling," Sloan said, "it's time for me to move on."

The Minutemen open the 2012 season on Thursday, Aug. 30 at the UConn Huskies. UMass will then host Indiana on Sept. 8, travel to Michigan on Sept. 15 and to Vanderbilt on Oct. 27.
UMass will play their 2012-13 home games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, the home of the NFL's New England Patriots.
"We feel this is a tremendous non-conference schedule to secure for our first season at the FBS level," said University of Massachusetts Athletics Director John McCutcheon. "This will be a challenge to be sure, but we believe it sends a clear message about our commitment to building a competitive FBS football program."
"This schedule certainly legitimizes the announcement that we are going to the next level," said head coach Kevin Morris. "With Gillette Stadium as our home field, the citizens of Massachusetts will have a premier football venue to watch their team compete at college football's highest level. There is no better time to be a student-athlete, alumnus or fan of UMass football."
Football Schedules:
Any word on what the new MAC divisions will look like? I'm assuming since they have 4 non-conference opponents that it's an 8-game schedule, so 6 games within the division and 2 in the other division.

Wisconsin Committee Votes To Cut Business And Investment Taxes While Increasing Taxes On Poor
As ThinkProgress reported in April, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) proposed hiking taxes and fees on students and the poor, despite signing the Americans for Tax Reform "Taxpayer Protection Pledge," which politicians use to promies to never raise taxes.
On Tuesday, the Wisconsin Legislature's Finance Committee voted for a host of tax changes in its budget that included some of Walker's proposals. The committee voted not only to limit many of Wisconsin's tax credit programs for the poor, but it also simultaneously voted to cut business and investment taxes:
Wisconsin's working poor with two-or-more kids would get a tax increase under a budget measure endorsed by the Legislature's Finance Committee. Majority Republicans also pushed through some tax breaks for business and investors, as the panel began its final week of rewriting Governor Scott Walker's state budget for the next two years. […]
The committee also voted to roll back some of the 2009 tax hikes for multi-state corporations under the combined reporting law. And they voted to let people defer state taxes on long-term capital gains if they're re-invested in a Wisconsin business. If the investment is held for five years, no taxes would be owed. Currently, 30-percent of capital gains are exempt from taxes.
Increasing taxes on the poor in the name of deficit reduction while offering more tax breaks for businesses and investment is a stunning statement on the committee's priorities. "We hate poor people," said Rep. Tamara Grigsby (D) in response to the changes. "We kick them when they're down. They will never have the chance to thrive." "This appears to be a tax increase on those who can least afford it," said Rep. Jennifer Shilling (D).

We use Trello as a kanban board to manage the work of multiple customer projects within our scrum team. I would like to be able to give each customer access to the board, but they should only be allowed to see the cards for their projects. How can I do this?
There's no way to do that; people can either see a whole board or none of it. You'll probably have to create a separate board for each client project.

I have a problem that I can't seem to find the answer to, but I'm willing to bet it's probably a pretty simple one for anybody who has worked with this sort of application setup before.
I'm working with an application that is written in C, but calls a TCL/TK gui to do lots of nice pretty stuff on the screen. However, due to the way that TCL/TK works when run from C, once you've handed over control- you never get it back (i.e. the TCL/TK interpreter handles the application exit, rather than returning to the original main() function).
So basically, there is some code like this:
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpszCmdLine, int nCmdShow){
Tk_Main(1,argv,Tcl_AppInit); // Tcl_AppInit is a function that runs at the start
// All code after this point will never, ever run
return 0; // This return never actually occurs
This causes a slight issue. I want to be able to destroy data structures, close files, check for memory leaks, and do other necessary things before the program exits. However, I can't do it after Tk_Main. I have to figure out the hook in the TCL/TK interpreter that runs when it shuts down, then tell that to run my teardown function before quitting.
Anybody know how or where to do this?

Additional technical information is available to describe the Microsoft Word arbitrary code execution vulnerability.
Microsoft Word contains a vulnerability that can allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected system.�
The vulnerability exists because Word does not properly handle malformed documents.� An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to open a malicious Word document.� If the user opens the file, the attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user.
Microsoft has confirmed this vulnerability in a security bulletin and released software updates that correct it.
The following Microsoft products are affected:
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must convince a user to open a malicious document.� The attacker may deliver the file to the user through a website or as an attachment to an e-mail message.� The attacker cannot force the user to view the file and will likely employ social engineering techniques in an attempt to convince the user to it.� If the user opens the file, the attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user.
Systems that restrict user privileges, or those with built-in user privilege separation features such as Windows Vista, may be at less risk in the event of an exploit because any code execution would occur with limited privileges.� However, if the user holds elevated privileges, the attacker could execute code that results in a complete system compromise.
The Cisco Applied Intelligence team has created an Applied Mitigation Bulletin to address vulnerabilities that Microsoft disclosed in the November 2009 security bulletin release.� This Cisco bulletin, which assists administrators in identifying or mitigating these vulnerabilities using Cisco devices, is available at the following link: Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin: Microsoft Security Bulletin Release for November 2009
Microsoft has corrected this vulnerability by improving how Word handles malformed files.
Microsoft has released a security bulletin at the following link: MS09-068
An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user.� If that user holds elevated privileges, the attacker could execute code resulting in a complete system compromise.
The vulnerability exists when Microsoft Word processes File Information Block (FIB) structures in Word documents.� An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a Word document that contains a malicious FIB structure and convincing a user to open it.� Processing the crafted document could cause a stack-based buffer overflow, which the attacker could leverage to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user.
Administrators are advised to apply the appropriate updates.
Users are advised not to open e-mail messages from suspicious or unrecognized sources.� If users cannot verify that links or attachments included in e-mail messages are safe, they are advised not to open them.
Administrators are advised to use an unprivileged account for routine activities.
Administrators are advised to implement an intrusion prevention system (IPS) or intrusion detection system (IDS) to help detect and prevent attacks that attempt to exploit this vulnerability.
Users may consider applying the Microsoft Office Isolated Conversion Environment (MOICE) to safely open Word files from suspicious or unrecognized sources on systems that are running Microsoft Office 2003 or Office 2007.
Administrators should consider disabling preview directory browsing modes.� In some cases, this preview mode may process files in ways similar to opening the file, and may trigger an exploit through a malicious file in a directory or file share.
Administrators may consider using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) scan tool to identify common security misconfigurations and missing security updates on system endpoints.
Microsoft customers can obtain updates directly by using the links in the security bulletin.� These updates are also distributed by Windows automatic update features and available on the Windows Update website. Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Systems Management Server, and System Center Configuration Manager can assist administrators in deploying software updates.
Version 1, November 10, 2009, 2:02 PM: Microsoft Word contains a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected system.� Updates are available.

Heart Disease Health Center
Alan's Story: Coping With Change After a Heart Attack - Alan's story
Alan is something of a miracle man. At the age of 32, he had a massive heart attack. But more than 40 years, 4 bypass surgeries, 30 angioplasties, and a combined pacemaker/defibrillator later, he's still thriving. He learned how to cope with heart disease the hard way.
Alan had always been healthy and athletic. Except for the occasional cold, he was never sick. So the heart attack came as a shock.
But he was a smoker. And when he had his first bypass surgery a few years later, Alan learned that he was born with very small heart arteries. The combination proved too much for his heart to take.
"At some point in my life, I was going to have a heart attack. Smoking just sped it up," says Alan, 73. "It happened while I was playing basketball with some guys from work. I started getting pains in my chest. The next thing I knew, I was on the floor."
Lessons learned about heart disease
After the heart attack, Alan quit smoking immediately. He didn't have much choice. At that time, treatment for a heart attack was total bed rest for 3 weeks.
"That's how they thought the heart would heal in those days-with complete rest, no excitement. Now we know that if you can get up, get up. You have to move around at least a little."
During those weeks in the hospital and the months of recovery that followed, Alan taught himself a lot about heart disease. He read everything on the topic that he could find.
"I learned how to take care of myself. Those lessons have stayed with me."
One of those lessons is the importance of a healthy diet. But putting what he knows into daily practice is an ongoing challenge. Alan leans on his wife, Cloris, for help.
"I've had to work at keeping my weight under control, and that has really helped my cholesterol," he says. "When you have heart disease, you learn to eat better for the rest of your life. And if you don't, you're asking for trouble."

Internal medicine residencies risk becoming obsolete if they are not adjusted to changing patterns of medical practice. Declining length of hospital stay, increased intensity of hospital care, movement of critical management decisions to outpatient settings, increased proportions of admissions for specific diagnostic procedures, and increased needs for perioperative consultations all erode the foundation of traditional internal medicine training. Furthermore, demographic shifts, the move to prepaid care, and a projected oversupply of subspecialists warrant more exposure to generalism and geriatrics. To prepare internists for clinical practice, some training should shift from medical wards and intensive care units to outpatient settings and surgical consultation, additional process skills must be taught, and the epidemiologically important non-internal-medicine disciplines should be included in the curriculum. These shifts will require changes in methods to pay for residency training, accreditation procedures for residency programs, and the residency certifying process. Most importantly, the model and organization of internal medicine training need to be reconsidered.

'Silence is a source of power'
By S Subhakeerthana - CHENNAI
Published: 23rd April 2013 08:14 AM
Last Updated: 23rd April 2013 08:14 AM
Understanding of god
Music and god are synonymous with each other. Since I am musically inclined, I associate spirituality with music. Though the concept of god has always been difficult to comprehend, I would say I find god in those who care for me — my parents, teachers, friends and well-wishers. There are a few who love me for what I am and celebrate my success as theirs. I am grateful to have them in my life and I thank god for it.
Spiritual beliefs
Silence is a source of power. It is the foundation of music and it is music itself. There is a saying, "After silence, which comes nearest to expressing the inexplicable, is music". I believe that. I also believe music is one of the ways to reach god.
Spiritual practices
Love and laugh — these are the main things I follow. I strongly feel people unnecessarily confuse spirituality with a detached, emotionless life. But being happy and spreading cheer is the best form of spiritual practice.
What does being religious mean to you?
I believe in idol worship and visiting temples gives me a positive vibration. I think being secular is the need of the hour. So I would rather be secular than religious.
If you got a chance to play god, what would you change?
I would ask Ram, Allah and Jesus to let people know that they never created religion. They only created values and traditions which have been absolutely made a mockery of in the name of religion for personal/specific group benefits.
Take on miracles
If you believe in miracles, they will happen to you.
Pilgrimage sites
I love visiting ancient historical sites and temples that are antediluvian. To me, the older the idol the more powerful it is. I have immense respect for all those temples that don't force you to shell out money for a glimpse of god. A few of my favourites are Puttaparthi, Ekambareswarar temple (Kanchipuram) and Chilkur Balaji temple near Hyderabad.
(MK Balaji is a singer and television presenter)

Otago Southland council chairman Sir Julian Smith said the
award recognised businesses who employed people in the New
Zealand Reserve Forces and allowed them time off for military
The reservists needed to communicate to their employers the
skills they gained during military training to highlight the
advantages companies gained by allowing staff the time to
train, Sir Julian said.
At the presentation, Sir Julian said the council was
investigating an initiative to issue certificates to
reservists detailing the military skills, to give to
Calder Stewart co-managing director Peter Stewart said he was
happy for draughtsman Sean Johnson to take time off for
military training.
Mr Johnson was ''pumped'' about being a reservist and was
consequently a ''happy camper'' at work.
In a disaster, such as the Canterbury Earthquakes, the
community benefited from the military training of reservists,
Mr Stewart said.
Fisher and Paykel (F&P) was runner-up at the awards.
F&P design engineer Malcolm Sherlaw said fellow design
engineer Rob Tomlinson was given time off work to train
during his 22 years in the naval reserve as a
lieutenant-commander and commanding officer of HMNZS Toroa.
F&P and the Naval Reserve mutually benefited from Lt-cmdr
Tomlinson's military training, Mr Sherlaw said.
''He takes his works skills to the navy and brings his navy
skills to work. It is a win/win situation.''
Staff members who engaged in military training were easier to
retain, because they were happier in their work, Mr Sherlaw
Lt-cmdr Tomlinson, who trained about 60 days a year, said the
skills learned in the military assisted a ''civilian career''
by providing discipline and a controlled approach to

I sent the message below via the contact form on your website about 3 days ago, but I hadn't gotten a response. I am following up here, as I cannot get to your site at the moment without getting a timeout message in my browser. You can contact me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com. My message was:
I am trying out Store Locator Plus to use on a client's site. So far it seems like the best option for what we what, but I have a question about a couple of possible customizations.
1)Our client needs the search form as a widget that could be used in the sidebar to search for properties. Can that be done?
2)This client also had a request for the search radius: would it be possible to have the search cover a slightly larger radius than what is specified? For example, if a user selects a radius of 10 miles, would it be possible to loosen it just a bit so it will pick up locations up to 11 miles? In this hypothetical 10 mile search, they want the user to get locations that are, say, 10.2 or 10.5 miles away. Is that possible?
Please let me know if either of the changes above are doable, and if so, what the cost would be for each.

Tow Truck Ran Light, Did 50 MPH+ in Fatal DTLA Crash, Cops Say
The tow truck that collided with a Metro bus, killing its driver, was going as fast as 60 miles per hour through a red light when the downtown L.A. crash happened, police said today.
The flatbed tow truck was headed south on Broadway when it struck the westbound bus at Fifth street before careening into the 7-Eleven at 457 S. Broadway, where a worker was slightly injured, authorities said:
According to the LAPD's view of the events, this is what happened shortly after 5 a.m. yesterday:
A tow truck driver traveling southbound on Broadway drove through the intersection against a red light and collided into an Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) bus with no passengers which was traveling westbound on 5th Street. The force of the impact caused the MTA bus to run off the roadway and collide with a fire hydrant.
CRASH UPDATE: Bus & tow truck drivers injured; police believe tow truck was speeding, ran red light twitter.com/ABC7/status/34...
— ABC7 Eyewitness News (@ABC7) June 12, 2013
... LAPD Central Traffic Division detectives' investigation revealed the tow truck was traveling at about 50 to 60 miles per hour when he ran the red light and collided with the MTA bus.
Metro ID'd the deceased bus driver as 47-year-old Olivia Gamboa of Montebello, a 13-year employee of the transportation authority.

Has anyone tried to place a Stack Overflow flair to a Twitter profile page? I'd like very much to have the one with the hot dog stand theme over there, heh heh.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Since all Twitter allows you to do is changing the background image and the colors, you'll have to constantly re-upload your flair image everytime it changes.
You could run a cron job somewhere that regularly checks if your flair has changed, create a new profile background image that includes your flair, and use Twitter's update_profile_background_image API method to update it.
For the love of all that is holy, please don't put your fluorescent unicorn avatar onto the hotdog themed flair onto your twitter!
My eyes! The goggles do nothing!
With the new image based flair you can easily add your flair to your twitter page. Just use the image
Go to http://stackoverflow.com/users/flair to get the image code for the combined flair, if you're into that.
