The End of Nothing
You have to be in the right frame of mind to listen to Rune. If you are diagnosed w/ bi-polar disorder it would be very helpful, as would good ol' clinical depression. Rune represents the Willowtip sound quite well but in a whole new light (or, lack thereof, I should say). I don't hear albums like this very often at all. In fact, I don't think I've ever heard an album like this. Rune thrives on the moodiest of moods. The darkest of darks. Like a giant deep sea squid, Rune discards the sun as a mere distraction, an unnecessary item in the continuance of it's own existence.
This is by far some of the strangest metal I've heard in quite some time. Not strange in a sense that it's overly technical, or that it's in uncommon timing forms, but strange in a way that it's so dark, bleak, and just downright depressing to listen to. Vox are delivered in a unique way. A very passionate and intense sandpaper type yell that at some moments sounds like they're being captured through the cardboard tube in the center of a roll of toilet paper. Every second of the vox are focused on telling what the music to do. It's screaming orders at it is what it's doing. Some of the note and chord overlays sound rub against each other violently but somehow berth a listenable product of utter despair. This is not the kind of material you want to blast in your car while cruising by the beach. Take the most catastrophic and emotion inducing moments of your life and put it to music and you have The End of Nothing. "This Sorrow" is a perfect example of the manic depression this album displays. A nearly 10 minute roller coaster of emotional instability, it turns, dare I say, "beautiful" right before the 5 minute mark and symbolizes the most serene of human moods, only to explode into another devastating fit of doom that slowly disintegrates to close out the song. It is so full of emotion that it just bursts from the song barriers. "Wilt" forges on like a sloth w/ tears in it's eyes, until the emotional decay reverses for a time into frantic Harakiri-type grind. The transitions in the songs are not "textbook" by any means. You wind up hearing something completely different and have to backtrack in your mind as to how you got there. The subtle additions here and there of the background noises and keys enhance the "dreararity" of it all. Not a single thing sounds forced or out of place. I'm actually at a loss for werds for most of the material because it is so consistent and effective at achieving it's goals. Normally I'd complain about a "song" like the closer on here, "Ethereal Bleeding", as it's nothing but strange sub-sea beeps, buzzes, and echo type noises. In fact, I will complain about it, because it's not a song. But something very odd has happened here: I've actually listened to it more than once. Voluntarily I might add. The gem here is the spoken word at the end. It is a total parallel to what the entire album has been.
Turn the lights out at 2am, light a candle, and put this album in. It's a real mood-changer. Save it for the inevitable break-up w/ a significant other and it will drive you to suicide.
The album is heavy not because it's got monster deathgrind riffing or because the double kick tenderizes you endlessly, because there isn't either of those here to that caliber really. It's heavy because it's got substance that you can feel. Honestly, I hated this material on the first listen. I was fresh off of Leng Tch'e and I wasn't exactly in the mindframe to recall my most tragic experiences or sorrow filled moments. I played it a day later and I wound up listening to it 3 times in a row. The next day was the same. It reveals more of itself as time goes by and you adjust yourself to it's implosion-inducing sea bottom emotional pressure levels. Rune has turned out something very different & very effective here. Sooner or later you will sit comfortably in their corner and you will hear what they have to say, and chances are, you will end up identifying. It could be a long process. But for me it was well worth the wait.

And now, presenting the Tweet of the day courtesy of ZeroHedge:
I think old "Tyler Durden" said it without thinking of us minions and our twisted sense of humor. However, here is S&P's downgrade in full from their website (Click on this link to read the full damage):
S&P downgrades Italy rating
via Channel News Asia
Posted: 14 January 2012 0508 hrsROME: Standard and Poor's has decided to downgrade Italy's credit rating by two notches to BBB+ from A, Italian news agency ANSA reported on Friday citing government sources.
The ratings agency downgraded Italy to A from A+ in September last year under then-prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, who has since been replaced by former EU commissioner Mario Monti at the head of an austerity government.
The move puts Italy on the same Standard & Poor's grading for long-term debt as Kazakhstan, South Africa and Thailand in a major setback for the eurozone's third largest economy after France and Germany.
S&P is expected shortly to announce a one-notch downgrade for France to AA+ while Germany will retain its top rating in a review covering 15 of the 17 eurozone nations.
Since coming to power in November, Monti has pushed through a harsh austerity plan and has asked for European assistance in helping to drive down borrowing costs for Italy on the debt markets.
With sky-high public debt and an economy headed into a recession, Italy faces a daunting challenge this year as it needs to raise around 450 billion euros ($571 billion) on the markets at higher than usual rates.
In a bond sale earlier Friday, Italy raised 4.75 billion euros with the rate on three-year bonds easing to 4.83 percent from 5.62 percent in a similar sale last month.

With so many hours in a day, it's nearly impossible to just eat three meals. Everyone needs a snack to keep them feeling satisfied throughout the day. However, it's important to make smart choices when you reach for that mid-day pick-me-up. Next time you are considering skipping lunch, keep these tips in mind so you can have your snack and eat your meal, too.
Manage your sweet tooth: Every once in awhile it's OK to give into your sweet tooth. Depriving yourself won't make your body or your mind happy. So next time you're craving a sweet treat, reach for something that won't leave you feeling guilty.
Enhance what's in your eyesight: You are more likely to eat a healthy snack if it's within reach. So keep a bowl of fruit on your counter to reach for when you are feeling hungry. And if you find yourself overindulging at work, keep a container of mixed nuts on your desk; they will fill you up quickly and give you extra energy to help get you through the day.
Bring out the bowl: It can be hard to stop reaching for potato chips once you start; before you know it, the whole bag is gone. To help keep track of just how many servings you are eating, purchase snacks packaged in individual serving sized containers. If you are a club shopper, or if you just prefer to purchase the whole bag, remember that snacking out of the bag will make you more likely to overindulge. To avoid this, put your snack on a plate or in a bowl; it will help you realize just how much you're eating.
Slow it down: Do you tend to wait until you are extremely hungry to have a snack? Before you inhale your treats, take a breath and remember that when you eat your snack too quickly, you don't give your body time to digest and process whether or not you are satisfied. Eat slowly and savor every bite. You will feel as if you are eating more than you actually are, and your body will have time to decide if it is full or not.

WASHINGTON -- In a kind of legislative throat-clearing, lawmakers kicked off the new Congress last week by introducing dozens of oddball bills that have no chance of becoming law -- they are merely intended to get our attention.
Rep. Jose Serrano, D-N.Y., proposed eliminating presidential term limits; Republican Rep. Paul Broun of Georgia offered a bill to return the United States to a currency tied to gold; and a handful of bills were proposed to cut congressional pay, pensions and other benefits.
Many of the 200 or so bills introduced in the first two days of the 113th Congress are simply new versions of old legislation that went nowhere in previous sessions of Congress. Most of these bills generally appear intended to make a political point, not make new law.
For instance, Serrano's term-limits bill -- which he has introduced in every Congress since 1997 -- would have to be approved by the Congress, then ratified by three-fourths of the states to repeal the constitutional amendment that limited presidents to two terms.
On the other side of the political spectrum, Rep. Rob Woodall, a Georgia Republican, introduced a measure Thursday to eliminate the IRS, do away with income taxes and create instead a national consumption tax. Woodall seems to recognize that the bill is not going anywhere - his measure of progress is that he has more co-sponsors on the bill this time than in previous years - but, he said, "the momentum is building for fundamental tax reform, and it's fueled by the American people."
Broun's bill to put the nation back on the gold standard was one of two bills he introduced last week that had been championed by Rep. Ron Paul, who retired from Congress after losing his second bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
In laying out his priorities for the new Congress, Broun wanted to start by championing some of Paul's favorite bills, because he "didn't want them to die down," spokeswoman Meredith Griffanti said. "Moving forward, my plan is to pick up right where Congressman Paul left off," Broun said in a statement.
Rep. Barbara Lee of California and a handful of other liberal Democrats proposed a bill to repeal the 2001 congressional authorization for the use of military force to respond to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Lee, who was the only member of Congress to vote against the original authorization, said in a statement, "Over the last 11 years, this broad authorization of force has had far-reaching implications which shake the very foundations of our great nation and democracy," including warrantless wiretaps and "borderless and open-ended war that threatens to indefinitely extend U.S. military engagement around the world."
Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., introduced a bill to eliminate a 1954 law that prohibits non-profit organizations from directly endorsing or opposing political candidates, a prohibition that Jones contends was designed to shut churches and pastors out of politics and violates their First Amendment rights.
Jones has introduced version of the same legislation for years, and Jones spokeswoman Catherine Fodor said that is part of why he raised it again on the first day of the 113th Congress. "It's something he has worked on for a long time, and he wanted to get it out there and generate as much support as he can," she said.
A large part of a member of Congress' job is to "take a position on things," said Don Kettl, dean of the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland.
The opening days of a new Congress become the perfect time to announce positions because "there is not a whole lot of news to compete with" and the statement may actually get some attention, Kettl said. "It is a way to signal to people back home that 'I am working on things,' " and to highlight issues their representative is concerned about, even if the bills are destined to go nowhere, he said.
There is some symbolic value to be the first bill of the congressional session.
Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., announced on Twitter that she had introduced the first bill of the 113th Congress to repeal Obamacare, and some news outlets interpreted that to mean that hers was the first bill of the new Congress. It was not.

Love our new fireplace!

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Dimplex Sussex White Electric Fireplace Mantel Package - SOP-272-W:
Our new home didn't come with a fireplace and most electrical fireplaces are so unrealistic and the mantels are just too small. I wasn't 100% certain what to expect when we got our fireplace, but I was pleasantly surprise! No one can ever guess that it's a stand alone fireplace and it's beautifully made! Installation wasn't the easiest and the instructions aren't very helpful, but we managed to figure it out.
would order again,great fireplace

Beautiful Fireplace
By internet shopper
from Western Mass
We are using this in a new room opening up a sunroom and family room to a 500 square foot great room. The fireplace looks beautiful and is a great addition to the room. It seems as though it will keep the space nice and warm while adding that relaxing feel to the atmosphere. Also it has the air purifier that will help us with allergies - we are excited about trying this promising feature. We are very happy with our purchase! It was worth paying a little more for such a quality product and really the price on this was great!
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was prompt. Product arrived in good condition.

We love our new fireplace!
By No longer "Chilly Willy"
from Grosse Ile, Michigan
This has been perfect for us. My husband has a bad heart and poor circulation. He is ALWAYS cold. We had a portable heater which we loved and did heat his room-(family room) However, it was safe but not attractive. Our new electric fireplace is both attractive and a wonderful heat source. Friends can't believe how realistic it is. Chalk us up as happy customers. We now have a fireplace in our room without all the hassle. It took only 45 minutes to put together. We haven't gotten our electric bill since we put it in. I'm anxious to see what it costs to run per month. I bet nobody uses it as much as we do. If it makes my husband comfortable it is worth it.

Authorities have not released the name of the man they suspect to be the gunman. But neighbors and news outlets around Midland City identified him as Jimmy Lee Dykes, 65, a Vietnam veteran and a retired truck driver.
Neighbor Jimmy Davis told CNN that Dykes began digging a hole on his property soon after he moved in down the road from him.
Davis, who works a night shift, said Dykes worked on his bunker in the middle of the night -- every other night, between 2 and 3 a.m., for a year and a half.
He was friendly and welcoming and told Davis the hole would be a storm shelter.
Now, the bunker Dykes dug is four feet deep, and Dykes has been known to stay there for up to eight days, said James Arrington, police chief in Pinckard, Alabama.
It wasn't clear what supplies were in the bunker Thursday, Arrington said.
Tim Byrd, chief investigator with the Dale County Sheriff's Office, told the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hatewatch that Dykes was a "survivalist type" with "anti-America" views.
"His friends and his neighbors stated that he did not trust the government, that he was a Vietnam vet, and that he had PTSD," Byrd told the civil rights group. "He was standoffish, didn't socialize or have any contact with anybody."
The court date
On Wednesday, the day after the standoff began, Dykes was supposed to appear in court to answer to charges that he'd shot at Davis during a December argument over the dirt road that separated their homes.
Davis was moving out when his truck -- hauling a trailer -- dug ruts into the dirt speed bump that Dykes had built up across the road.
Dykes "got mad about what he saw" and stood by the side of the road, yelling and cursing, said Davis' mother, Claudia.
He then ran to his van, got a pistol and fired two shots at the truck, the Davises said.
Fortunately, no one was hurt, including Claudia Davis' 6-month-old daughter, who was inside.
The Wednesday court date in nearby Ozark was for menacing, a misdemeanor that carries a penalty of up to six months in jail.
Another neighbor, Ronda Wilbur, said Dykes beat her dog to death with a lead pipe and then bragged to her husband about it.
"He made it very clear that any animals or people that came onto his property would be killed," she said.
Wilbur said she complained to animal control authorities and thought that this would stop the behavior.
"He just got increasingly more bizarre," Wilbur said.

GLOUCESTER, Mass. —
There are people who eat on the run and then those who eat and run.
A man who has sampled many of Gloucester's better restaurants without paying was arrested in a final fiasco at Azorean last weekend.
Stephen Davis, 50, had allegedly left Tom Shea's in Essex without paying the tab, then downed a drink at Azorean without settling up. But police arrived and ended the spree with his arrest. This came after a trip to Short & Main the same day.
Matt Cawley, a co-owner at Short & Main, called the man an "anomaly." He had racked up a nearly $100 bill at the restaurant, eating a half-dozen oysters, a pizza, two glasses of wine and two cocktails.
Cawley said an employee recognized Davis as one to frequently exit before payment, and four others at the busy restaurant kept an eye on him, but he still escaped with an unpaid tab.
Davis was formally charged with defrauding a common victualler, leaving the premises without paying, disorderly person, resisting arrest and taxi fare evading.
Scott Merchant, the Lincoln Town Car driver who drove Davis to Tom Shea's, said the $150 fare went unpaid.
"It really ruined my day actually," Merchant said. "I spent over three hours dealing with him. My income for the day was drastically affected."
Details for this story were provided by the Gloucester (Mass.) Daily Times.

Definitions: "Sometimes They Suck The Life Out Of Sharing" (Sekrett Scilensce)
This post currently has: no responses...
One of the primary problems with many of the leftover systems and methods churning around the internet, whether to implement outreach or sales or some other notion, is that it takes a bit of explanation to make these integrations seem simple. People don't like wasting time because frankly, we don't have a lot, not really; if you live out in the middle of "Where the F*ck Hell" you might but otherwise, you're slaving to somebodies idea of a good work ethic and pay structure. So these Tech-Jockeys make these things, charge a small-fee (or sometimes no fee) and then all the work is on you; but it isn't unique in the eyes of the people you are trying to enchant, nor' does it ever come across as Easy-123 to use so blah (you're done) — These things really just end up keeping your self esteem down. Who needs that? We've spoken of GumRoad.com and Selz.com because in the world of sharing/sales, they've created paradigms of simplicity that currently can't be matched. A lot of the other stuff is three to six steps and a bit of explaining. No one cares enough (unless they just really, really, want what you've got).
Get used to it.
Figuring out the rest is just fun.

Welcome, my dear Deals.Wooters! This is the place that you may all gather and leave your mark. Consider it like a Tag Wall, with a nifty little PM envelope! Simply put, leave a comment in this thread - and when another deals member needs to get a hold of you, they can pm you. Inversely, if you need to PM another deals wooter, you will probably find them here. ETA - You may still need to notify someone that they have a pm here. Do this by @tagging them on ATC. There is currently no notification for private messages on the main forum.
Sounds like a plan. Maybe add a mail icon next to your username when you have a new PM, or an email notification.
I don't want a bunch of "come vote for my deal," spam, so no.
Hello, my name is La Vikinga, and I am a woot-a-holic.

Here's my comment. PM away.
I want a black triangle club instead. One week ago I was just a red triangle and now I hate the old me.

The irony? THERE IS A BLACK TRIANGLE CLUB. HA. I'm not gonna spoonfeed it to you because it would take the satisfaction out of it...but I will leave you with this incredibly subtle clue..; "q" Super subtle. (And if you already know about the club don't tell me, I don't wanna feel stupid.)

You sucked me in. I too shall ride your bandwagon. As you see/saw in the thread on Deals your request has been noted and passed on. That makes umpteen such notations on this topic. I suspect that it would have been done already if there was any support by staff. Still, the record is made.
No time for love, Doctor Jones.
I'm in for PMs.

The Library has more "upscale" food, for Houghton at least. Good microbrews, as well.
In the wintertime, the main parking lot at the MacInnes Student Ice Arena has been known to have some fine brews on tap.
The Library also has a certain Bourbon Vanilla Imperial Ale that some of us are very familiar with; that's what I was told, anyway.
I second the Ambassador for pizza. The taco pizza is very tasty.
I'll correct you before Diesel does: it's Bourbon Vanilla Imperial PORTER. Get it straight before you get cut off.
As for the Ambo, I actually prefer the BLT pizza, hold the T. The Tostada is also excellent, though.

Louisville beats Wichita State in Final Four
Cardinals overcome sluggish first half
After a sluggish first half, the University of Louisville men's basketball team rallied to defeat underdog Wichita State University on Saturday night to advance to the NCAA title game.
The Shockers and Cardinals battled through a tight, low-scoring first half that ended with Wichita State going into the intermission with a slim 26-25 advantage. Wichita State jumped early in the second half, but Louisville was able to rally and finally go ahead with about five minutes left in the game.
Louisville's 72-68 win means that its head coach, Rick Pitino, still is in contention to win his second national championship -- the other coming in 1996, when he helmed the Cardinals' archrival, the University of Kentucky.
Louisville, which won the national title in 1980 and 1986, will face the winner of Saturday night's other Final Four matchup -- between Syracuse University and the University of Michigan -- at Atlanta's Georgia Dome.
The championship game will take place Monday night.

SOURCE Storacell
ST. CHARLES, Ill., Oct. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The makers of Storacell (www.storacell.net) saw a problem-loose batteries rolling around in drawers-and developed a remarkably simple solution. Storacell's lightweight and portable plastic caddies hold batteries firmly in place, dispensing one battery at a time as needed. The current product line includes 9 versions for different battery sizes. Each version is available in a rainbow of colors, including glow in the dark, which is ideal during power outages and other emergencies.

As part of their rebranding, the company has introduced a new brand mascot. Sporting the tag line "Store your cells in our shells," the Storacell turtle communicates a fun yet practical message. An accompanying video illustrates the ease and convenience of the battery caddy system. By keeping batteries neatly contained, the battery caddies not only save time, they make your home a safer place, too; loose 9V batteries represent a fire hazard if their terminals come into contact with other metals.
The market for battery caddies extends beyond just individual consumers. Businesses looking for branded promotional items need look no further than Storacell. The AA SlimLine caddy is now available in quantities ranging from 500 to 5,000, each with a custom company logo and name printed along the side.
Response to Storacell's innovative but simple products has been overwhelmingly positive: "The first thing I did when I received the caddies was to take a picture of the mess of batteries that I needed to organize. After the batteries were all in their respective caddies, I took another picture showing everything neat and organized. Now I have the 'Before' and 'After' pictures to show friends and family, proving how essential these caddies are," says customer H. Brown.
Storacell listens closely to customer feedback and requests as they explore new product ideas. Currently on the drawing board are holders for the 18650 battery. Also new for 2014 will be a Velcro pouch complete with a belt loop for SlimLine AA, AAA and CR123 battery caddies. Customers are encouraged to engage with Storacell on social media, such as Facebook and Pinterest.
All Storacell products are Made in America. The company gladly ships its battery caddies around the world through a network of six international distributors. Storacell also ships to APO/FPO addresses for free. Ultimately, the company's goal is to become the go-to solution for battery management, regardless of application. Storacell believes these dispensers will soon become the universal standard for handling batteries.

Wuddup Technicians! Tech came hard this week with a special, early glimpse at what K.O.D. has to offer. "Strange Music Box" (Feat. Krizz Kaliko and Brotha Lynch) (click here to listen) is the 5th track on the forth coming album, in stores 10-27-09. The tone of this song definitely fits the motif of Tech's newest conjurings - other songs to keep an ear out for are "Show Me A God" (watch video here) and "Leave Me Alone" (wait til you hear it!).
Lyrics are good, but the beat sucks...
Waiting for preorders to ship.... And, as always, I'll be at the show when it comes through. On Halloween... KOD tour on Halloween.... Couldn't ask for a better show to come through on my favorite night of the year.

50th anniversary of horrific Hoosier event marked
Submitted by WIKY News on Thu, 10/31/2013 - 3:22pm
A lot of organizations cringe when the State Fire Marshal approaches to check on the safety of their planned event. But the culture of safety can be traced back to a horrific event 50 years ago. 74 people were killed, and more than 400 were injured in what many consider to be one of the worst tragedies in Indiana history, the 1963 Indiana State Fair Coliseum Explosion. More than 4,000 spectators were packed into the building for a Holiday on Ice performance when there was a massive explosion.
Food stamps being cut to needy Americans
Submitted by WIKY News on Thu, 10/31/2013 - 3:19pm
Starting Nov 1, 48 million Americans who depend on the SNAP program to survive will see their food stamp allocation reduced. That's because a $5 billion boost in the allocation implemented during the Great Recession is expiring. Mary Blair of the Tri-State Food Bank says people unable afford enough groceries in stores will be heading for organizations served by the Food Bank. One out of seven Americans will lose some of their income dedicated to food, because that's how many are receiving at least some SNAP assistance.
Tons of meds no longer available to abusers or thieves
Submitted by WIKY News on Thu, 10/31/2013 - 3:13pm
Indiana is marking a milestone in its efforts to dispose of unused prescription drugs. Indiana has now incinerated a million pounds of medication. That's 5,000 tons out of harm's way. Attorney General Greg Zoeller says leaving unused medications lying around the medicine cabinet creates a danger that they'll fall into the hands of children or otherwise be misused. And he says simply throwing away or flushing meds creates problems for the water supply.
A price to pay for Halloween treats
Submitted by WIKY News on Thu, 10/31/2013 - 3:11pm
Not to be a buzz-kill during Halloween, but a new report by financial powerhouse Credit Suess finds that the sugar in all those yummy treats is costing the global health care system about $470 billion in diabetes, obesity, and other health problems.
The Commonwealth Vs. Snow - girding for the battle

Submitted by WIKY News on Wed, 10/30/2013 - 4:01pm
If you've been tossing the dice on filling your gas tank, you just threw craps. The price in Evansville jumped from $3.13 a gallon to $3.36 at many stations. The 23-cent leap follows a slow decrease in prices over the past couple of weeks. And it comes at a time that analysts have been predicting a further drop.

A psychologist said even if Ethan appears to be doing well on the outside, he needs to talk out what happened to him. Hoping the 5-year-old will forget what happened would be a bad strategy, said Wendy Walsh.
"That's not actually good because when you start to forget, some traumatic events they get stored in your body as feelings that crop up at strange times in your life," she said. "It is better to process it, get some therapy."
Someone who knows all too well what Ethan may go through is Katie Beers, who as a 10-year-old was held underground in a concrete bunker for two weeks by a New York man.
"I am ecstatic that Ethan has been retrieved safe and sound," said Beers, who recently released a book about her abduction. "As for my ordeal, I just keep thinking about the effects of it: being deprived sunlight, nutritious food and human contact. And how much I wanted to have a nutritious meal, see my family."
Beers says she still feels the effects of her kidnapping.
"The major issue that I have is control issues with my kids and finances," she said. "I don't like my kids being out of my sight for more than two seconds. And I think that that might get worse as they get older."
