"When you find my body hanging . . . with a tight noose around my neck, do not look for a murderer. I have executed myself. I say execute rather than suicide because I didn't really intend to hang unto death." This cryptic note was found next to the strung-up, half-naked body of a young Canadian man. Indeed, it was not murder, nor was it suicide. It was autoerotic asphyxia: a climax-intensifying chokehold, taken a step too far.
Those who self-strangle do it in order to heighten orgasm by constricting the flow of blood to the brain during masturbation. The practitioners of this behavior, nearly all male, tighten a belt around their necks or suspend themselves by a noose, often using a closet rail, rafter or tree. The cerebral cortex is partially knocked out by the lack of oxygen, and its normal inhibitory influence on the thalamus and the hypothalamus (the areas of the brain which stimulate sensations of pleasure) is removed. This state of breath deprivation is known as cerebral anoxia, and it apparently results in a woozy heightened orgasm similar to that which one may experience when using nitrate inhalers, a.k.a. "poppers." Giddiness, dizziness, and exhilaration combine with orgasmic sensations and fantasy elements to produce a powerful climax. But autoerotic asphyxiation carries a dire risk of accidental death, since the person performing it may pass out before he has time to release the constricting ligature.
One of the most famous cases of suspected autoerotic asphyxiation was pop star Michael Hutchence of INXS, who died of strangulation back in 1997, a death that was eventually ruled to be a suicide. (Hutchence hung himself from a closet rail, using a belt.) According to David Barrie, the director of a documentary on Hutchence, numerous details point toward autoerotic self-strangulation as the cause of death. "Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the tragedy is that, in the absence of any conclusive evidence, people have made up their own narrative as to the cause of death," he muses. "And because autoerotic asphyxiation is taboo, the authorities do little to cast light on it all. Paula Yates, Hutchence's girlfriend [who recently committed suicide], thought it was autoerotic asphyxiation and wanted the world to believe it because she didn't like the idea of her lover being a cliché victim of rock 'n roll suicide. Hutchence's family thought it suicide wanting the world to believe that their son was anything other than a pervert. He was depressed, not kinky. A private act becomes an epic morality tale."
This moral component is precisely what keeps the subject of autoerotic asphyxiation so taboo. It's no wonder the subject is charged, linked as it is with subjects like masturbation and fetishism. Indeed, for many practitioners, autoerotic asphyxia is about more than experiencing a super-normal orgasm. To judge by the death scenes of victims, it is often linked with ritualized fantasy elements, including bondage, punishment and death. The victim's body may be tied up around the ankles and genitals as well as the neck, and sado-masochistic literature or images are often found in the vicinity. Transvestism can also play a role: one victim was found dressed in women's clothes and surrounded by documents containing passages such as "the law of the land for any man dressed as a woman and found guilty is that he be hanged." Other victims have been found wearing make-up, or with shaved legs.
As with Hutchence, many suspected cases of autoerotic asphyxiation come to light only after the person has died. But on the basis of a few studies of living practitioners, it seems that the behavior typically begins experimentally, in adolescence. In some men the behavior becomes their only possible sexual outlet. A few studies suggest that experience of sexual abuse in childhood may provoke the behavior, but these are far from conclusive.
In a sense, the taboo against discussing the practice is as dangerous as the behavior itself, since it prevents people from seeking help. Autoerotic asphyxiation is not at all rare as a cause of death among young men. According to a study by Stephen Hucker and Ray Blanchard of the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry in Toronto, about ten known deaths per year in the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Ontario result from the practice. According to Mark Clark, a police officer who conducted a detailed study of autoerotic asphyxia after his own brother fell victim to it, five hundred to a thousand young men die in this way in the U.S. annually, and about thirty percent of adolescent hanging deaths can be attributed to it. (Clark's findings are available at www.silentvictims.org.)
As frightening as these numbers are, accurate statistics are difficult to amass, since so many cases are misidentified as suicides, either because the family covers up the evidence that the deceased was masturbating, or because the authorities make a default assumption that a hanging is a suicide. But even if there are no obvious clues such as magazines or bondage gear, an alert pathologist may spot other indications of the true cause of death: the victim may place a thick cloth between the ligature and his neck in order to prevent rope burns, or the closet rail may show wear from repeated use.
Somewhat more benign and common than solitary self-strangulation is the practice of partial suffocation during sex with a partner. This kink, which has a long history in world literature, may have physiological effects similar to those of self-strangulation, but with much less risk of a fatal outcome. And while it's hard to know the exact numbers of participants, anecdotal evidence suggests that women as well as men participate in this activity, often as part of dominant/submissive role-playing. (Still, as a neuroscientist I have to say that depriving your brain of oxygen is never a good idea.)
Anyone for whom autoerotic asphyxia has developed into a compulsive behavior should seek psychotherapeutic treatment and attempt to rechannel their sexual energy: unlike many sexual kinks, this act is simply too dangerous to be a reasonable risk. At the very least, practitioners should find a partner with whom they can more safely engage in the practice. Unfortunately, the secrecy with which most people practice autoerotic asphyxia usually ensures that medical examiners, not psychiatrists, are the first to find out about it.

On March 19, residents of the Tenleytown neighborhood, including representatives from Advisory Neighborhood Commissions 3E and 3F, Tenley Campus Neighborhood Association, and Tenleytown Historical Society attended a pre-construction meeting, as work is set to begin on AU's new Washington College of Law (WCL). Attendees heard from the project's general contractor, Whiting-Turner, and were provided information on schedule, parking, work hours, and who to contact with additional questions or issues.
The new law school will support a student population of 2,000 and a faculty and staff of 500, provide 50 percent more space than its current location, and feature 312,000 square feet of facilities and parking for 400 vehicles. Construction of the new campus will begin in June/July and finish in August 2015.
The new structures will be configured to define a prominent new identity for the law school, while also honoring the rich historic legacy of its site. To accomplish this goal, all construction will embrace and incorporate fully the historic Capital Hall and its chapel, as well as Dunblane House. It also will retain and reinforce the central quadrangle as an open and accessible green public space, and improve the front lawn and perimeter of the site to increase opportunities for public access and enjoyment. To accommodate the new plans, Congressional Hall, Federal Hall, and Constitution Building will be demolished. The new law school construction will include:
Capital Hall Renovation
Capital Hall's interior will be renovated to adapt most of the existing structure for office and small meeting use. The lower level will be converted to student offices for legal briefs and journals. The first level will accommodate administrative support offices such as Student Affairs, Financial Aid, and the Registrar. Administrative offices also will occupy a majority of the second and third floors. The chapel will be renovated to accommodate the WCL Trial Advocacy program; the main sanctuary will house a ceremonial moot courtroom; and the lower level will serve as multiple, flexible teaching courtrooms. Capital Hall's existing exterior service court will be converted into an enclosed atrium that will connect to a new law school building on Yuma Street. The atrium will serve as a common area for the east end of the WCL campus.
New Nebraska Avenue Building
This building will accommodate the law school's ceremonial courtroom, a large lobby intended for small gatherings and receptions, and several large format tiered classrooms on its first floor. The second, third, and fourth floors will be home to the Pence Law Library and feature both formal and informal study areas, group study rooms, library collections, public legal resources, and administrative support areas.
New Yuma Street Building
This four-story building will be adjacent to Capital Hall and the chapel, and will be configured to engage seamlessly with Capital Hall's formal integrity and architectural character. An enclosed atrium, to be built on the existing service court adjacent to Capital Hall, will connect the upper floors of this new building with Capital Hall. The floor level will include classrooms and a dining facility. The second level will include faculty offices and lounge, clinic and trial advocacy teaching spaces, as well as clinic spaces and clinic break-out classrooms. The third level will include additional faculty office space and clinic space. The top floor will accommodate the remaining large instructional spaces and tiered classrooms.
Click here for more information about the new Washington College of Law.
We invite our neighbors to join us for the bustle of activities on campus in April to celebrate Earth Month.
As one of AU's largest community events, Earth Month provides an opportunity for campus organizations, clubs, departments, programs, and offices to showcase their own active pursuits of sustainability. In 2012, more than 50 events included performances, academic lectures, expert panels, test-driving electric vehicles, hands-on demonstrations and workshops, and a keynote lecture by then-EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson hosted by the Kogod School of Business.
This year, Earth Month will feature a celebration of alternative fuels, an all-new Day of Sustainable Service open to the campus community, and the 20th annual Campus Beautification Day. Events and activities during the month include Sustainable Service Day in which the AU community will brings its spirit of community service to the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens; a lecture by renowned green architect and visionary William McDonough; networking events for alumni working in the environmental and sustainability fields; and speakers, performances, workshops, festivals, and symposia across the AU community.
Learn more about Earth Month and find a full schedule of events, updated daily, at http://american.edu/earthmonth. Please contact the Office of Sustainability at firstname.lastname@example.com or 202-885-6262 with questions.
Campus Beautification Day will be held on Tuesday, April 16 and provide students, faculty, and staff an opportunity to pitch in to help beautify the campus planting new trees, shrubs, and flowers. This event is a university tradition which incorporates both campus beautification and sustainability goals and strives to build and strengthen the AU community by bringing together staff, faculty, students, and neighbors.
If you'd like to join in, please contact Andrew Huff, Director of Community Relations, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (202) 885-2167.
American University is pleased to welcome the Wagshal's Family of Fine Foods to the neighborhood. Wagshal's has been serving the Spring Valley neighborhood since 1925 and will open its second location at 3201 New Mexico Avenue, NW later this month.
"Expanding into this new location enables us to serve even more of the community and we are thrilled to now be a part of Wesley Heights," said Bill Fuchs, President of Wagshal's, who lives in the neighborhood.
In keeping with the Wagshal's tradition, Wagshal's on New Mexico will provide area residents prepared foods, butchery, sandwiches, a custom bakery featuring freshly made artisanal breads and handmade pastries from their central kitchen.
The 4,000 sq. ft. location also will offer fresh market options including local and organic produce and fresh seafood. Patrons will be able to create their own custom sandwiches as well as salads from a self-serve salad station, and select items from a hot food bar.
The new location will include indoor seating and an outdoor patio for casual dining. For additional information on Wagshal's and their new location, visit www.wagshals.com.
American University students from the School of Communication (SOC) form an important part of Team Capitol DC, the group of DC-based university students participating in the 2013 Solar Decathlon in Irvine, California. This biennial event, hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy, challenges twenty groups of students from top universities around the world to design, build, and operate houses with innovative sustainable solutions that take them "off the grid."
Team Capitol DC consists of students from AU, the Catholic University of America (CUA), and the George Washington University (GWU). CUA students provide architecture and mechanical engineering expertise, while GWU students work on interior design and landscaping. The house they are building – with the goal of donating it to a disabled veteran after the competition – is named Harvest. The role of the AU students is to tell the visual story of Harvest from its creation and initial construction in January 2013 through the actual judged competition in October.
Harvest's primary themes are "beginning again" and "renewal," and will help educate the public about how these concepts can be combined with clean energy technologies in the home. It is the only home in the competition being designed for a specific client, and its future occupants will find it a perfect place to emphasize recovery with special features focusing on assistance with impaired mobility, physical, emotional, and spiritual healing, and other factors important to veterans. Communications are part of the judging criteria, so the SOC students have the task of conveying this unique vision to the public during the course of its nearly year-long construction process. The students plan to utilize many cutting-edge communication methods, including an online webinar series, social media, 3D and graphic design, and more.
Learn more and follow Team Capitol DC from now through the competition this fall with the following links:

A Cayenne project is an XML representation of a model connecting database schema with
Java classes. A project is normally created and manipulated via CayenneModeler GUI and
then used to initialize Cayenne runtime. A project is made of one or more files. There's
always a root project descriptor file in any valid project. It is normally called
cayenne-xyz.xml, where "xyz" is the name of the project.
Project descriptor can reference DataMap files, one per DataMap. DataMap files are
normally called
xyz.map.xml, where "xyz" is the name of the DataMap. For
legacy reasons this naming convention is different from the convention for the root
project descriptor above, and we may align it in the future versions. Here is how a
typical project might look on the file
ls -ltotal 24 -rw-r--r-- 1 cayenne staff 491 Jan 28 18:25 cayenne-project.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 cayenne staff 313 Jan 28 18:25 datamap.map.xml
DataMap are referenced by name in the root descriptor:
<map name="datamap"/>
Map files are resolved by Cayenne by appending "
.map.xml" extension to the
map name, and resolving the resulting string relative to the root descriptor URI. The
following sections discuss varios ORM model objects, without regards to their XML
representation. XML format details are really unimportant to the Cayenne users.
DataMap is a container of persistent entities and other object-relational metadata. DataMap provides developers with a scope to organize their entities, but it does not provide a namespace for entities. In fact all DataMaps present in runtime are combined in a single namespace. Each DataMap must be associated with a DataNode. This is how Cayenne knows which database to use when running a query.
DataNode is model of a database. It is actually pretty simple. It has an arbitrary user-provided name and information needed to create or locate a JDBC DataSource. Most projects only have one DataNode, though there may be any number of nodes if needed.
DbEntity is a model of a single DB table or view. DbEntity is made of DbAttributes that correspond to columns, and DbRelationships that map PK/FK pairs. DbRelationships are not strictly tied to FK constraints in DB, and should be mapped for all logical "relationships" between the tables.
ObjEntity is a model of a single persistent Java class. ObjEntity is made of ObjAttributes and ObjRelationships. Both correspond to entity class properties. However ObjAttributes represent "simple" properties (normally things like String, numbers, dates, etc.), while ObjRelationships correspond to properties that have a type of another entity.
ObjEntity maps to one or more DbEntities. There's always one "root" DbEntity for each ObjEntity. ObjAttribiute maps to a DbAttribute or an Embeddable. Most often mapped DbAttribute is from the root DbEntity. Sometimes mapping is done to a DbAttribute from another DbEntity somehow related to the root DbEntity. Such ObjAttribute is called "flattened". Similarly ObjRelationship maps either to a single DbRelationship, or to a chain of DbRelationships ("flattened" ObjRelationship).
ObjEntities may also contain mapping of their lifecycle callback methods.
Embeddable is a model of a Java class that acts as a single attribute of an ObjEntity, but maps to multiple columns in the database.

ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 downloadable docs are ready
Microsoft is providing documentation for ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 in three downloadable formats: .CHM, DOCX, and PDF. You get to choose your own, preferred file format to carry around with you. Downloadable docs are great for carrying around on a mobile device or tablet, providing a better reading experience than utilizing the online docs. However, keep in mind that the downloadable docs are not always up-to-date. Released on February 15, 2013, the docs were actually updated on February 1st, 2013, so you can see there is a sort of lag in releasing the downloadable docs. The priority will always be the online versions.
We talked about this before. No matter how convenient it is that Microsoft is updating the docs for you, you can always create your own docs using a few different methods and plugins. Take a look through the following content to get some ideas…

Data quality in telephone surveys and the effect of questionnaire length: a cross- national experiment
Respondents in long telephone survey interviews may adopt satisficing strategies as they approach the end of the questionnaire (Holbrook, Green and Krosnick, 2003). However, there is inconsistency regarding the relationship between questionnaire length and different forms of satisficing. We investigate whether long questionnaires are associated with a reduction in response quality using data from a cross-national survey experiment. Sample members were randomly assigned to interviews of 60, 45 or 30 minutes. We compare responses to attitudinal measures from a module on happiness and well-being, which was asked at different points in the interview in each of the three groups.

General Question
Can you complete this technique for fairly dividing something among 3 people?
I just learned about this and decided to share it in the form of a problem. Most of you probably remember from childhood the technique for splitting something, like a candy bar, between two people. One person cuts the thing into two parts and the other has first choice of which to take. Each person ends up believing that he got at least as much as the other.
About 50 years ago mathematicians worked on the problem of determining how to fairly divide something among 3 people so that each person is convinced he got as much as anybody else. There are ways of extending the technique to more than 3 people, but it gets a bit involved. The problem of dividing something among n people so that each person thinks he got at least 1/n is much simpler, but I will not be describing it here.
I will start describing the technique. See if you can complete it. Designate the 3 people as A, B and C. A divides a cake (or pizza if you prefer) into 3 equal (from his point of view) slices. If B thinks that the two larger pieces are the same size then C chooses next, then B and then A. In this case we are done since everyone should be satisfied he has as much as anyone else.
If B thinks the largest piece is bigger than the next largest piece, he cuts a portion of the largest piece so that he thinks the two largest pieces are the same size. The cutting is put on the side for the next stage. Again the order of choosing is C, B and A. The only constraint is that if C does not choose the cut piece then B must choose it. At this point everyone thinks he has at least as much as anyone else.
For the second stage, the piece on the side will be divided in 3 parts and each person chooses one of the parts. Who should do the cutting and in what order should the parts be chosen so that each person feels he ended up with at least as much as anyone else?

Businessman Breifne O'Brien pleads guilty to 14 sample counts of theft and deception charges
52-year-old accused of a 'pyramid'-style €11m investment fraud
BUSINESSMAN Breifne O'Brien has pleaded guilty to 14 sample counts of theft and deception charges after a lengthy Supreme Court battle to have his criminal trial halted.
The 52 year old stood accused of a "pyramid" style €11m investment fraud and was due to stand trial before a jury today on some 45 theft and deception charges.
But this morning Circuit Court Judge Patricia Ryan was told that a jury would not be required in the case and the case was adjourned until 2pm to facilitate talks with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Mr O'Brien, dressed in a navy suit and white shirt, entered into the dock shortly after 2pm.
He stood with his head bowed and crossed his hands as he pleaded guilty to each of the 14 counts.
He faces up to 10 years in jail for the sample theft counts and 5 for the deception counts.
The guilty pleas were entered on a full facts basis, meaning that he is not contesting any of the facts contained in the book of evidence.
Prosecutor Luan O'Braonain SC said the sentence hearing could take up to a day as it was "a complex matter".
The DPP did not object to continuing bail.
Patrick McGrath SC, representing Mr O'Brien, said that his client was a man of no previous convictions.
Although these were very serious matters, Mr McGrath said this was "unusually" a case where court would benefit from a probation report But Judge Ryan declined to order a probation report until the sentence hearing is finalised in late July or October.
The case will come back for mention before the court next week.
The sample counts which Mr O'Brien pleaded guilty to, including "bogus" property deals, relate to each of the five injured parties who were present in court for the brief hearing.
Mr O'Brien (51), Kilmore, The Gallan, Granitefield, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, was originally charged with 19 counts of theft involving sums totalling around€11 million from five individuals between 2006 and 2008.
Another 19 charges involve alleged deception of the same people.
A further seven charges of deception involving €1.9 million relate to one of those five people between 2003 and 2008.
Just last month the Supreme Court ruled that the trial against Mr O'Brien could proceed, despite his claims that he could not get a fair trial because of adverse publicity.
Earlier this month he separately applied for leave to bring a fresh judicial review challenge on grounds arising from a recent Supreme Court ruling concerning the rights of detained persons to have solicitors present during interviews.
But that challenge will now fall away after Mr O'Brien's guilty pleas.
Last month a three-judge Supreme Court ruled the trial against Mr O'Brien could proceed at any time after June 2014.
The court accepted there had been unsatisfactory publicity in relation to the matter and it also said certain remarks about the case by High Court judge, Mr Justice Peter Kelly, were "not wise comments".
However, the Chief Justice, Ms Justice Susan Denham, said the court was satisfied, on various grounds, Mr O'Brien had not shown there was, at this point in time, a real risk of an unfair trial.
She said years had passed since the bulk of the publicity and the "fade factor" applied.
The remarks by Mr Justice Kelly were also made in civil proceedings where Mr O'Brien had not opposed applications by his creditors, she said.

Without Brandon Jennings the Milwaukee Bucks were sure to fall to the Los Angeles Lakers in L.A. on Tuesday night. Hell, with Jennings the Bucks didn't stand much of a chance. But since he had the occasionally ability to get hot and carry a team for stretches, there was always the hope when he played that he would be able to sustain the Bucks offensively while the rest of the team got going. No one else on the Bucks had flashed a similar ability very often this season.
Better late than never though. Earl Boykins was at his shot-making, ball-handling, backup point guard best Tuesday night in Milwaukee's impossible improbable 19-point win over the Lakers.
He chipped in offensively early with nine points through the first three quarters and then turned into an offensive Molotov Cocktail in the fourth. Boykins scored 13 of his 22 points in the final quarter, left the Lakers shaking their heads wondering how it had all happened and his Milwaukee teammates joyfully hooting and hollering on the Bucks bench.
One night after coming up short on nearly all of his shot attempts, constantly hitting the front of the rim, Boykins seemed to have corrected his errors and made shots that he's been making his entire career. It's possible sitting out the majority of the last 10 games before seeing more action in Portland left Boykins more out of sync that one would expect out of a veteran. Whatever the case, Boykins looked like a completely different player just one night after missing nine of 11 shots against the Blazers.
With Jennings out, long range shooting and creation are two areas in which the Bucks could struggle mightily, and while Boykins had just two assists, he did a good job balancing distribution and shooting. When he had open looks, he shot the ball and made it more often than not. When he had a man in his face, he quickly moved the ball or penetrated. Lakers Coach Phil Jackson prefers point guards that are big to ones that are quick. Boykins made a habit of getting by his larger counterparts in Derek Fisher and Steve Blake every time they closed out on him.
It was the ultimate "I'll take what they'll give me" game from Boykins and they simply gave him too much.

"I was a scout from grade school (approx. 1954) until I graduated from high school (1965). I had many camping trips and enjoyed the various field trips we had taken. In senior scouting I was involved with girls from another community and it really broadened my horizons about other personalities and commonalities (not so parochial in the thinking!). We had a group that centered around horses and one of the girls had polio. It never stopped her from being the best. I met up with her years later and she was still the same virbrant personality. I think that's the best we can hope for all the girls, is that they don't prejudge anyone."
The Girl Scout Museum was opened to preserve the history and culture of Girl Scouts. As Girl Scouts approaches its 100th year, it seems more important than ever to remember our past as we prepare for the future. We are very pleased to offer our exhibits to you and hope you will always remember why Girl Scouts is here – to empower girls to make the world a better place.
We are accepting donations of Girl Scout items for display. We are also looking for pictures of girls in Girl Scout related activities and stories of how Girl Scouts has influenced your life. Please help us grow our museum by sending us your photos, stories and items for the world to enjoy.

The Essential Ingredient
The Essential Ingredient
The most trivial work, the least action when inspired by love, is often of greater merit than the most outstanding achievement. It is not on their face value that God judges our deeds even when they bear the stamp of apparent holiness, but solely on the measure of love we put into them. . . And there is no one who can object that he is incapable of even this much, for such love is within the reach of all men.
St. Therese of Lisieux
I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I do know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, He will not ask, "How many good things have you done in your life?" He will ask, "How much love did you put into what you did?"
Bl. Teresa of Calcutta
All of this is in addition to our constant work of friendship ministry with the poor, which includes taking people to church, meeting with them in their homes, delivering food, meeting unique needs, and supporting new mothers. All of these works are ineffectual without love. When anything in our life becomes more important than love, it has become more important than God. Putting love first seems simple, and it is simple. The difficult thing is to not let it become complicated (Ecclus. 7:29). Simplicity requires courage.

World figure skating champion Patrick Chan was devastated when his former coach and mentor Osborne Colson passed away from pneumonia in 2006.
Chan was at Colson's bedside when the Canadian skating legend died at the age of 90 and promised his coach that he would always skate his very best for him. Now, seven years and three world titles later, Chan continues to live up to that promise and is taking the pledge even further. The Toronto skater's current coach, Kathy Johnson, revealed that Chan's new long program, performed to Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, is dedicated to Colson, who, before Chan, directed such skating luminaries as Barbara Ann Scott, Donald Jackson and Sarah Kawahara. Last season, Chan skated his long program to La Boheme by Giacomo Puccini, but though he won a third world title, never felt totally comfortable with the program.

This is the first Darkthrone CD I got and I found the instruments used for the album very strange (due to your everyday 'Black Metal' production i.e. crap) but the production of the guitar makes it sound like it was recorded in a tunnel or something.
It was originally the second album after Soulside Journey (which is more of a Death metal album than ye usual Darkthrone Black metal material) but was never released until the band joined Satyr's Moonfog record label. And Satyr thought when he got hands on the master tapes "Hey, I could get Culto to sing so I could release this as a full length and get all the kiddes to buy it and make me rich!". Satyr makes a guess appearance in the first and forth songs "Rex" and "Sadomasohistic Rites".
Vocals: They were basically spoken, in the black metal sense, over the music and doesn't really the pattern of the sound at all though there is a range of vocals, some roars here and there to even it out. The backing vocals sound feminine and a Darkthrone veteran would find these out of place. (do female backing vocals appear in other Darkthrone releases? answers on a postcard)
Guitar: It sounds weak here without the drums and spoken vocals. They don't sound evil at all, they just huff and puff but couldn't blow a straw house down, they're only effective in a "sneak and nip at your ankles" way.
Bass: Where? It must be buried and abosrbed by the guitar because I can't hear it anywhere at all.
Drums: Before the vocals were added on the songs, the drums were the dominant instrument in the mix and they can drown the guitar in a beat, the snare sounds tinny (but not to the extent of the dustbins of St. Anger, thank fuck, though it's more like a sound that you would get from tapping a triangle, which is something you would know about in music lessons at school).
In spite of the poor production, some songs are worth listening (Black Daimon adds 20% and the vocals for Toward(s) the Thornfields also add 5% as well) to the reviews final total) to so it may be worth your while to download Goatlord before thinking of parting with your money and giving it to Moonfog.
Best songs: Rex, As Desertshadows, Black Daimon, Toward(s) the Thornfields

This photograph titled ''New Orleans, 1970'' by Lee Friedlander (b. 1934) is part of ''Visualizing the Blues: Images of the American South 1862-1999'' currently on display at the Georgia Museum of Art. Holly Pickett/Staff
The blues are supposed to make you feel good. Wailing voice and guitars bemoaning the woes of life rise and swell gloriously above the depression they chronicle -- so vividly we're taken in by the singer's own sorrow.
The photograph show ''Visualizing the Blues: Images of the American South 1862-1999'' offers a similar vision, with views of a land and its people that continue to inspire the blues -- an appropriate show, given Congress has declared 2003 the ''Year of the Blues.''
This touring show -- the Georgia Museum of Art is part of a tour including nine U.S. and four European cities, originating at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens in Memphis in 2000 -- also coincides with other blues-flavored local events.
The exhibit is showing in conjunction with the third annual Art & Soul, an event at the museum that falls right before February, Black History Month. Previous Art & Souls have showcased gospel music and jazz. Georgia blues musician Precious Bryant will perform this year. And the exhibit also arrives as local publisher Hill Street Press releases ''Music Makers: Portraits and Songs from the Roots of America,'' edited by Timothy Duffy (see story in today's ThursdayLiving, Page C1).
''Visualizing the Blues'' features both black and white and color portraits of high society and hard luck: barefoot black children work in the cotton fields; black prisoners, feet chained, rest uncomfortably against dust and rocks; white privileged girls gather beneath trees, their white skirts draped about them like downy clouds.
''Wedding, New Orleans'' is another view of privileged overindulgence. Both are marked contrasts to other scenes of rural, impoverished Southern life as seen in ''Visualizing the Blues.''Holly Pickett/Staff
The landscapes are dotted with overgrown shacks, churches and fireworks stores; roadside diners and barbecues, jitterbug dances on impoverished streets; peeling kitchen walls and rusting bathrooms; broken screen doors covered with tiny napping lizards.
Several photographs examine the role of the Ku Klux Klan, revealing hidden identities. William Christenberry's Klansman in ''From the Klan Room, 1982'' is actually a G.I. Joe action figure, his tiny plastic hand poking from beneath the robe. W. Eugene Smith's ''KKK Grandmother,'' a grainy scene shot sometime in the 1950s, torments our emotions, showing a withered woman, like a nightmarish fairy godmother cloaked in her Klan robes. Her eyes hint at confusion or maybe dementia, as if she herself isn't quite sure what she's doing there.
In Gordon Parks' photograph titled ''William Causey's Son with Gun During Violence in Alabama,'' taken in 1956, a young shirtless black man, looking much too young to be readying for violence, lightly holds a gun in his lap as he tilts back childishly in his chair.
The grotesque outweighs the initial jolt of guilty humor in Jane Rule Burdine's ''Natchez Ladies,'' shot in 1981. Two elderly women in a parking lot are crudely made up to look almost like drag queens in their too-pink cheeks and uneven eyeliner. Their half-smiles and searching gazes look broken and painful.
In addition to being a literary great, Eudora Welty was also a photographer, as evidenced by her fine work here. ''Bird Pageant Jackson,'' shot in the 1930s, shows a small group of black women in white heels, feathery wings and caps, climbing the stairs to a building. Three of the women look over their shoulders solemnly, with a hint of self-satisfaction appropriate to any angel. They are transcendent women, finding the heavenly in the everyday -- just like the blues.

FOUR of the most wanted men suspected of operating scams from Spain against the UK public are being hunted by Crimestoppers.
Crimestoppers is targeting those believed to be involved with so-called boiler-room fraud, where people are duped into buying junk or non-existent shares here and in Serbia and Spain.
The crime-fighting charity is working with police in the UK, the National Crime Agency and Spanish police. It said the fraudsters steal the life savings of elderly people and using the money to live lavish lifestyles.

The four men profiled as part of Crimestoppers' campaign are wanted for their suspected role in high-value fraud and money laundering offences and are all believed to be involved in large-scale global networks of investment fraudsters.
Graham Hawrysh, 37, is suspected of boiler room-fraud based in Spain and involvment in a large-scale global network of investment fraudsters targeting UK consumers.
American Jeffrey Gordon, 54, is accused of boiler -rioom fraud, and has links to Romania and possibly Colombia and Ireland. He is also known as Jeffrey Darren Goodman and Michael Goodman.
He 5ft 11in and stocky with blue eyes, and he wears glasses.
Robert Douglas Lynch, 53, is believed to be involved in running boiler rooms under fake names and setting up accounts in Spain and the UK for laundering cash from the UK from investment fraud.
Turkish Cypriot Tunch Kashif, 48, is believed to have been involved in investment frauds for years, including deceptions involving upmarket wines.

If General Motors goes under, it won't take B.C. Lions owner David Braley along for the ride.
Hamilton-based auto parts supplier Orlick Industries was a major supplier to the ailing auto giant until Orlick's forward-thinking owner Braley shifted gears.
"We went away from the Big Three, six or seven years ago, and chased Honda and Toyota," Braley told 24 hours. "Today we're the supplier of choice for Honda. It made sense to go after the company that was producing more and more in North America rather than staying with the ones that were losing marketshare."
Braley said GM suppliers are losing up to 65 per cent of their business, but Orlick is only down 10-15 per cent. Meanwhile, he's optimistic the Lions can have another record year at the gate in 2009. The club drew 300,000 in 2008, the best regular season count since Braley took over in 1997.
"The economic environment in B.C. is not as bad as some of the rest of the provinces," he said. "I fully expect we'll have another successful year on and off the field."
There is no replacement for late-president Bob Ackles on the horizon. George Chayka (business) and Wally Buono (football) will split front office duties in 2009, with help from Braley and the Waterboys business booster club.
"I don't rush at replacing senior executives," Braley said. "It won't be done as good as Bob would've done, but we'll get the job done."
Potential buyers from as far away as Florida continue to approach Braley with offers, but the Leos are not for sale.
"Unless you want me gone, I'm going to stay for a while," Braley said.

The U.S. Department of Transportation began a new phase in a project, joining researchers from the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, that will track data from vehicles in hopes to make driving safer. The $14.9 million, yearlong study began yesterday will have cars talking to each other on a dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) system, similar to Wi-Fi but operating on a specified band of spectrum the FCC has set aside for autos. Break it down The Verge:
The deployment includes approximately 2,800 cars, trucks and buses, 300 of which are getting aftermarket safety devices to beam data like position, velocity, and acceleration to and from neighboring vehicles and infrastructure ten times every second. Another 64 will be "fully integrated," with safety systems installed during production, while the remainder will have simple transmission-only devices.
Researchers say DSRC is better than Wi-Fi for a couple reasons. First off, it's faster and more reliable. Also, be able to track you. It's specifically being deployed for safety reasons. So when a giant bus comes barreling through a red light, getting ready to crash into that tiny two-seater you drive because it fits into more parking spaces than other cars, you won't be pressed into the city's newest manhole cover. DSRC will tell your car and the bus about the impending collision with (hopefully) enough time for you to react or for your car's auto-brakes to kick in. It won't, however, use information from the bus' data to give the driver a ticket.
Bonus green points! Again, from The Verge:
… it's hoped that the project will have green spillover effects for the environment. Drivers will be able to get accurate real-time traffic updates directly from cars ahead of them, and be given alternate route suggestions. If all goes according to plan, fewer accident-induced backups and better use of less-congested roads should lead to less efficiency-sucking idling.

Fargona: The Land of Dragons [T][OOC]
View Single Post
January 9th, 2013 (5:55 PM). Edited January 11th, 2013 by <Challenger>.
Goodbye PC...for now.
Join Date:
Jul 2012
East Coast, USA (Represent!)
Here is my alpha SU
Alexander Baldwin, though he is known throughout the land as the "Knight of the Greenlands" due to his preference of green and his love of the forest/
Age (at least 16, but no older than 35):
Appearance (at least one full paragraph. You may add a picture, but I still want a written description as well):
Alexander could be considered a handsome man. His long, chocolate colored, curly hair ends right at his ears all the way around his skull, and hangs in shocks above his piercing blue eyes. His face is fair, much like the elves in the stories he heard as a child. His smile is warm and charming, and his nose is thin and angular He has milky white skin that is impossible to mark upon. He has never had a single blemish in his life. He stands at 6'5, the average size for a knight. His muscles, in his arms, legs, and abdomen are large and powerful from training long and hard in the knight's academy. He has the description of every little girl's fairy-tale knight. He wears heavy plate armor from the knight's academy, and a chainmail suit under it. He wears all-plate helmet that extends from his head to the base of his neck, that he always removes dramatically so he can have an excuse to shake his hair back and forth. He always has his broadsword strapped around his waist in its ornate, green leather sheath. He calls it "Weapon of the Wilderlands." He had master blacksmiths transform his actual armor and sword green, which he wears with pride. His buckler shield is usually slung around his back with the image of a forest emblazoned on the front. He calls it "Warden of the Woods."
Alexander is a man of action. He almost always charges into a battle without considering it much. Strangely, he's almost never lost with this tactic. He is extremely brave, but he isn't very wise. He believes that things could always be solved with a good sword stroke or a down-right bashing. When in battle he goes into an insatiable blood lust that cannot be quenched until every enemy is dead. He uses his sword-and-shield combination to defeat enemies right and left. This leaves him with no hold of the reigns, but he grips with his knees and trusts Brenton entirely. He loves the dragon with all of his heart, and the dragon loves him back. The pair will almost never seen without the other. He even took up the Kirin way and became a vegetarian for Brenton. He is rather flirtatious with a women that he falls for, and he almost always wins her over with his charm and good looks. He is curious like Brenton, but he will never go investigate something without him.
History (At least two full paragraphs. I may a
sk for more if I'm not satisfied. If you've already met your dragon, include how you met it):
Occupation (how do you make a living? This could range from being a thief to being a rich nobleman.):
He's a discharged knight that took up the life of a Dragon-Rider mercenary.
Spells known (include a description of how the spells work and what they do. Remember, nothing too powerful. If your character doesn't know any spells, leave this blank):
Unlocking doors: His fingers release small tendrils of magic that drift into a lock mechanism and tease the bolt until it unlocks
Simple wound healing: He places his hand on a wound and magic flows into his palm. It than heals no more than a bruise.
Some-what powerful night vision: He channels magic to his eyes and he gains a bit of night-vision.
Restores a little bit of energy: He can use his magic to replenish energy
Dragon Species:
Forest Kirin
Age (adolescent, adult, or ancient):
Description (at least one full paragraph. You may add a picture, but I still want a written description):
Brenton is a large dragon. He is roughly 12 feet long and 6 feet high. His scales are the exact same color as a tree's bark, and his eyes are the exact same color as Alexander's: A piercing blue color. His horn is long, but his "branches" add a good three or four feet to his height, since he is roughly 100 years old, and he is undefeated in stamping competitions. His tail makes up for about 1 foot of his original length. His back is burdened with a saddle that was custom made for him when Alexander became his rider. He bears it with pride, for it shows that he has a rider. He belongs to someone. He lacks wings, but what he lacks in flight, he makes up for in speed. His legs are powerful from a decade of being Alexander's battle steed.
Personality (at least one full paragraph. I may ask for more if I'm not satisfied):
Brenton is a calm creature outside of battle, but when he enters it, no one save for Alexander is safe. He kicks out with his feet, gores with his horns, and destroys with his earthquakes. When his fighting is combined with his rider's they are practically invincible. He is very curious at times, which has led to many an incident, but when Alexander is at the reigns he is rearing to go. He gets along well with other dragons, but he prefers to be alone, or with Alexander. The two are nearly inseparable.

Just a quick layout I put together this afternoon. My son emailed me this photo that he took with his cell phone. The background paper is kraft cardstock that I stamped with a waffle weave and words stamp. Don't know who makes these..sorry. I used an Inque Boutique stamp for the swirls. The chipboard letters were painted white, touched with sand colored paint, then stamped with the word stamp, and dry brushed with the white again. Then I touched the edges of the letters with red ink and added a little stickles. The word Girl was done much the same way...I just didn't stamp the words on those letters. I added a few pearls to the swirls and a small scalloped strip punched with the Fiskars scallop punch. And...that was it...I keep wanting to add something to it. LOL! The red bow is attached to the journaling card tucked behind the photo. Journaling reads:

No one could accuse me of being quick. This one has been on the go for a long time, but Australia Day is a holiday and it was very hot so I stayed home with my airconditioning and sewed this up (it is still in two pieces, for assembly)
Oh those points- I wish I had been more careful with my cutting!
This is the second block I have completed for this quilt, which needs either 12 or 12 and 2 half blocks, depending on how I set it. They are all different.
Should be ready before I retire.....

Researchers from Utrecht University, The Netherlands, have developed a model that illustrates how HIV evades the immune system. The study, published July 18th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology, incorporates detailed interactions between a mutating virus and the immune system.
HIV avoids recognition by the human immune response through the generation of viral variants called "escape mutants". This avoidance seems to thwart effective control of virus replication, causing HIV-infected patients to progress to AIDS. However, it remains difficult to fully understand the dynamics of immune escape, as data from infected patients is relatively sparse.
Knowing this, Drs. Christian Althaus and Rob De Boer performed computer simulations to help interpret longitudinal data derived from HIV-infected patients. They illustrate that the virus often evades the immune response very slowly, on a timescale of years. Depending on the diversity of the immune system, the virus will either be controlled effectively or accumulate detrimental mutations. The results suggest an alternative strategy of vaccine design could be to reduce the replicative capacity of the virus.

Say hello to the not too distant future. In the next 10 years robots will change our world in huge ways. They will upend labor markets and change our politics. Add in the Oculus Rift which makes real live virtual reality yours (I mean it is really, really cool) for $500, and watch out. You think the Internet changed your life? Just you wait.
From The American Bazaar)
The world's first robot chef took a bow on the grand stage when it cooked for attendees at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Shanghai this past weekend.
As previously reported by the American Bazaar, recipes are selected via an app, with the machine being able to stir, adjust the hob, pick up bottles, pour jugs, and perform other movements.
The machine, designed by London's Moley Robotics, is slated to host a library of 2,000 dishes to pull from by the time it's launched for the consumer market in 2017.

Learn about this topic in these articles:
association with Munch
...a circle of writers and artists in Kristiania, as Oslo was then called. Its members believed in free love and generally opposed bourgeois narrow-mindedness. One of the older painters in the circle, Christian Krohg, gave Munch both instruction and encouragement.
relationship to Lars Krohg
painter who was one of the major figures in the renascence of mural painting in Norway after 1920. He was the son of the painter Christian Krohg and studied under him at the Académie Colarossi (1903–07) in Paris. He also studied under the French painter Henri Matisse from 1907 to 1909. Krohg returned to Norway in 1930, where he taught at the State Art and Craft School...


text: I recently switched over to a 1H backhand. Im a 4.5 and I wanted to give this shot an adequate chance to see what I could do with it. After 2 sessions with the ball machine and a couple friendly matches / rallies I started getting the hang of it. My only real issue is that I haven't been able to get much power off it. I know this is pretty much impossible to do without seeing a vid of me but any tips on how to add some power. I think the problem is I emphasize keeping my head down so much that I don't step into the shot enough. I hit it hard enough / place it well enough to play competative 4.5 but sometimes I wan't to rip an easy winner and I just can't hit it as hard as I would like. As for my opinion on the shot I love it. For some reason I can position myself so much better. I thought it would be "easier" than my 2 hander but I was wrong. Its mandatory that you move your feet to get in proper position unlike the 2hander which you can get away with a little more imo.

This isn't a problem only in oncology; poor health care literacy can interfere with communication in any medical (or dental) care setting. A similar problem is encountered with patients whose understanding of English is poor. Sounds like a worthwhile undertaking, but the time required of the medical practitioner suggests it might be best if a single member of a practice were to handle these situations..
I was a situation where this would have been good. The surgeon that performed the biopsy was really great and informed me of the options, but the oncologist might have different opinions. Her recommendation was partial or complete removal of my nose, lip, and most of the flesh and skin on the right side of my face, as my bone was not yet involved. The oncologist wanted to remove the bone too. The Nurse Navigator stood and kept saying, "Face transplant, face transplant." When the doctor left, she asked me if I was really considering this. My job as a patient is to listen to all of the options, so I said, "YES". It would have been nice if she had enough initiative to look up this rare cancer, and have been prepared. I asked about getting lab work to see if I had clotting issues, hep, anemia-the basic surgery-and cancer work up. She said the doctor didn't order anything, and walked off. I haven't seen her since. She surely didn't show up for the follow up visit. She did make several appointments for me- radiology, surgeon, final directive, but they were all on the same day and the same time. Then she told everybody that I was mentally disturbed..

Periodization Problems in the Economic History of Science and Technology
Nowadays there is no doubt about the interrelation between and mutual dependence of scientific and technical progress on the one hand and economic development on the other. Since this has not always been so, it has become necessary to define and to justify the time from which we may conceive an economic history of science and technology. This problem is easier to solve in relation to the latter than with regard to the former: the relationships between the scientific and the economic systems of any society are not only much more recent than those of the economy with its underlying techniques, but they are also predominantly indirect, usually mediated by or linked to some form of technological development. Technology acquired a scientific basis with the Second Industrial Revolution, whose nature however can only be understood when contrasted with that of the First one as well as with the processes of the professionalization of research and of the transition from natural philosophy and natural history to the contemporary scientific disciplines, both of which took place from the mid-eighteenth century onwards.

SAN FRANCISCO – Authorities are investigating strange cases of vandalism after four Smart cars were found 'tipped'.
Sounds like cow tipping though Smart car tipping is likely easier and safer for the perpetrators. Smart cars weigh in around 2,000lbs and don't have the ability to kick.
Witnesses reported observing the seven suspects wearing hooded sweatshirts, walking up to the cars, and turning them over.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, all four cars had body damage and broken windows. Investigators are looking into whether the incidents represent a campaign against the tiny vehicles, or were simply acts of vandalism. Car tipping is apparently uncommon in the Bay Area though there have been other cases in other American cities, Canada and the Netherlands.
