Whatever flavor it happens to be like.
Killed by the husband...
drowned by the ocean...
Shot by his own son...
she used a poison in his tea, Then she kissed him goodbye.
That's my kinda story

I think most of you are reading too much into this. Even thought most tool songs do have a double meaning, this one is more straight forward than most. Everyone likes to see things die, no matter how much you might try to hide or shiver away fro it...if it's happening you will watch it and you will be curios. even though you might be sympathetic (vicarious), you are defiantly intrigued. Maynard is just speaking from his point of view I believe. He likes to see things die, and he thinks most people have a higher opinion of themselves than he might himself. But all in all he knows everyone like to see, hear, read, or know (any action other than feel) death, decay, chaos, or impotence. Lastly if you look at the last words in the song (much better you than i), I don't think he is speaking of people's character but rather it's better for you to be dying than him.
And like everyones post this is just an interpretation, so treat it like one. I'm so sick of seeing people post things like FUCK YOU or YOUR FUCKING WRONG. We're all just guessing. But if someone has to be wrong..."much better you than I".

I watch TV because all the tragedy and death on the news and every other show gets me off. I love it when the toy soldiers on TV fall down.
Don't you dare say that I am a horrible person for doing this as you sit there doing the same thing. Hypocrite.
I need to watch all this death without feeling the implications. I can watch and thereby "experience" death. You need to watch, too. Don't lie.
Why not admit that we want to see blood, gore and death?
I need to watch death without truly feeling or caring about those dieing. All of you do too, so just admit it.
We feed on blood, we bring death, we eat the dead and we watch them die. Watch your TV, and sing as the world dies.
It's unbelievable - you want to believe inside we are perfect and good. Dig your head out of your ass and listen to me say it again. The universe is like this: hostile, uncaring, you kill to live - it has always been this way.
We live on all of this death. We thrive on the destruction of others. It's like blood to a vampire.
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies;
Much better you than I.

No guys Jewstalker is wrong. There is no "God" implementation on the 10,000days album. Wing's for Marie/10,000days; the only 2 songs I could even possibly see being interrupted as a "God" message, are not as they seem. Its about Maynards mom, nothing more. But, when you listen to the song not knowing the true meaning, your interpretation would be completely correct. Quite possibly Maynard wrote the songs as a "Double-edged sword" if you will. The problem is, that you are going to interpret the song in a way that is related to your personal being; so everyone's interpretation is going to be different (i.e. God/no god; whatever) But back to Vicarious. Yes the def. of vicarious is "felt or enjoyed through imagined participation in the experience of others" (reference.com) Straightforward the song is about of fixation on death, and our thirst for more. This isn't ONLY americans, its the entire world. We are a blood thirsty race, that get off on the death's of others. And since we don't have a personal relationship with the people we are seeing die, it's not "shocking" enough to knock us out of our fixation. The desired effect is desensitization.(i.e. Stinkfist- if you think that's about anal fisting; my god go back to school and learn what metaphors are.) Now remember that our news agencies our controlled by MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATIONS. And that these MNC's lobby government's around the world. They have more say in national policy than we do. Who do you think is "determining" news? Guys, Im sorry to tell you this, and you'll think Im crazy of course, but The United States is a Fascist Nation, and has been since the end of WW2. The problem is we grew up, being Innodated by misinformation and strong nationalism. This is what the New World Order is. A socialistic, fascist one world government. "...sleep to the rhythm of the New World order, and count bodies like sheep to the rhythms of the war drums." (Remember this in PET [APC]?) The idea of NWO is to pit the populations of the world against each other, killing off the major population centers so that the remaining will be much more controlable. So literally you can count bodies like sheep to the rhythms of the war drums. Sorry to be the one to break it to you, but a lot of TOOL songs point in this direction. Don't be fooled by Bush and Cheney. They are just the continuation of a policy that was put in place by President Truman, and if we allow things to continue the way they are, our next President will be exactly the same. you know we are going to have to fight a revolution to fix this right? Cause our political system has been derailed. Look, we elected Gore in 2000, he won the popular vote by more than 1 million votes. I know, it's the electoral college thing right? don't you remember that the Supreme Court anointed Bush President? So did your vote really matter? Wake up, Don't go back to sleep like they want us too.

Many good interpretations of this song by TOOL. T.V can become addictive, sometimes feel like the old human nature has not changed in many of us since the old Roman Empire days of Rome when we as spectators went to the collosium to see some gore of blood and guts of the Gladiators fighting each other to death also christians and slaves being eaten by lions for the sport of a pass time to entertaine us to watch ourselfs from our past expierience on t.v and movies to de-huminize us in today's reality.

I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding... The ones who think that we're all naive because we don't accept that we love death and are violent survivalists are quick to reproach and judge themselves, but even more so their race. However, those who don't accept we can get pleasure from seeing people die are perhaps also wrong.
The fact of the matter is that the human race has a perplexing fascination with death. It is an absolution, yet we never truly experience it. We don't really know what it's like. We love to see hated characters die, but not the ones we care about, and most of the time, certainly not ourselves. It terrifies us, but we wish it one others. But don't forget... we'd also accept it on ourselves if it meant protecting the ones we love...
So don't be so harsh. We're not all that bad, really.

hahhahha.....you are all idiots!!!!! It's called vicarious so guess what? that means the point of view is vicarious.....he is mocking anyone who enjoys watching others suffer.....hahahaha......and I'm mocking you as well.

vicarious means to live thru someone elses imagination. its saying how people rely on the tv and al that to tell them what to think while it is at the same time they desensitize us to the violence.
behrouzaftabi Apr 24th, 2012 4:05pm report
i believe this song directly depicts the craving within all human beings for shocking phenomena such as death,street fights even between two cats and other vicious occurrences we rarely encounter in our life. i am doing my militery service and these days we have been assigned to scan paper documents of martyrs in iran-iraq war. in each file there is a photo of martyr's corpes which is incredibly shocking and every time we open a new file, despite the fact we know it would make us want tom puke we take a look at it. moreover overwhelming majorit of us tends to enjoy raping porno films, reading events page of papers, we'd love to gather around someone who has had an accident and while we know ther is nothing we can do in these sort of conditions we still need to do it for no reason. YES YOU ALL WANT THAT (DEATH AND BLOOD) MORE THE OTHERS!

I personally doubt that this song is actually about How Maynard watches the news so he can enjoy watching tradgedy unfold. Think about the line 'stare like a junkie into the T.V. stare like a zombie'. I don't think he'd insult himself like that. I think the song is about how some people watch the news on T.V. because they live off watching other people dying. Maynard isn't straightforward with his lyrics, there's usually a hidden meaning or lots of hidden meanings woven intricately together.
Anyway, if this song was really about what everyone says it's about then I'd have alot less respect for Tool as a bad and understand why so many people hate them. But personally like their other songs (Aenema, Parabola, Schism, The Pot, Rosetta Stoned, Sober, Prison Sex etc.)
anonymous Apr 18th, 2011 4:06pm report
Let me just say one thing quickly before talking about the song.
There is no New World Order. Conspiracy theorists have the qualifications in history, economics, and government of the average fry-cook. Kids, don't go read two articles online and claim to be an expert on every existent subject known to man.
Now, that being said, this song is Maynard sending a direct message to people. He probably heard enough of people saying "this is too violent for me" and dealing with people saying TOOL is just some yelling metal band. It is about how we all point fingers at people and, using a literally stated figure of speech, says we all frown with one face while our other is watching the same thing and enjoying it. It is to help us realize we aren't better than each other. We are all violent deep down. In nature, it is just referred to as "Survival." So we all need to stop judging other people by what they enjoy because deep down, we are often the same.

Awesome song!
The song is essentially synonymous with the concept of schadenfreude - to take pleasurable delight in the pain and suffering of others (tragedy thrills me). it is essentially that whilst we don't want to experience it ourselves we enjoy seeing hearing etc about others experiencing it (from a good safe distance, much better you than i). hence we vicariously experience the pain and suffering through others such as in the media, movies and even day to day life.
i would also like to point out that the concept of schadenfreude stems from freudian and jungian psychology and can easily be proven; if you have ever enjoyed action or horror you have experienced schadenfreude, as someone said earlier romance movies work the same way vicariously feeling positive feelings. however the likening of the word vicarious to empathy in feeling the feelings of others is incorrect the word rather means to experience it through another not necessarily empathetically in the same manner

I just recently realized that the meaning of this song (quite simple to figure out yourself so I won't waste my time explaining) is not only a criticism of other human beings. It's actually an admition of the writer that he himself feels this way and enjoys experiencing tragedy vicariously. "Why can't we just admit it?" basically means that if all other human beings are like this, why can't we all just atmit to it and move on?
KionaCorona Oct 5th, 2010 10:35am report
Is the human species consumed by a psychological need to watch death and tragedy on the television? Tragedy transfixes man and makes for better television ratings. For example take the story of a person slaughtering his or her family versus the story of a person doing a great random act of great kindness; any news station knows the story of the slaughter would receive higher ratings. Everyone finds themselves engorged in any one of the horrific stories on tv daily; kidnapping, war, floods, etc. Even though they are horrified people can't seem to look away from the story until the end. This universal truth is addressed by Tool in their song "Vicarious" the imagery and symbolism within the video combined with the lyrical content of the song convey a powerful message that all people feed off of watching others misery from the safety of the television inside their living rooms.
Mankind loves to watch the world fall apart around them from the safe distance of their homes. The verse "Cause I need to watch things die from a good safe distance / Vicariously I live while the world dies" (Lines 14-15) refers to the psychological need embedded within human beings that enables them to feel better about their own miserable lives by comparing them to the people they see suffering. By watching these images they realize that their life is not so horrible after all. Vicarious means to be felt or enjoyed by imagining that the person is actually experiencing what they are viewing, so by saying that he lives by watching the world die the writer is saying that in order to feel alive and be able to face his own mortality he has to watch the world's suffering. Of course while one is watching these horrific events they want to be removed from any possibility of being harmed as well, the distance of the television allows them a sense of security. If people had to get close to the tragic events they watch than all safety would be removed from this situation.
People's addiction to television has become such that they feels that they cannot survive without it. The verse "We all feed on tragedy it's like blood to a vampire" (24) further strengthens the idea that man feels that he has to view death and tragedy on television. The figurative language is implying that man is like a vampire in his need to watch these horrific images. A vampire cannot survive without the blood that they feed off of their human victims; blood is the creature's life sustaining force, as food is to mankind. If the creature refused to feed it would perish and wither away from hunger. By saying that mankind feeds off of the horrific images on the television screen as a vampire feeds on blood, the writer conveys the message that man would die without these images because they have become as life sustaining to humans as the blood is to the vampire. This verse strengthens the central message of the song that mankind feeds off of the images displayed on the tv.
The imagery in the video that coincides with lyrical message of the song would be the translucent flickering humanoid that is being held captive by the floating, see through, glowing tv shaped boxes. While this humanoid stands transfixed by the television two long snake like creatures slither out of his eyes and eventually transform into a huge eye monster whose tentacles are being drug through the barren land, destroying all in its path. The humanoid can do nothing, and at one point begins to shake till he reaches out to touch the television, as if getting his addiction fix and reassuring himself that the television is still there. This scene in the video is referring to mankind's addiction to the television, and to the fact that even though they see the world being destroyed around us they can do nothing but feed their addiction. The humanoid is representing mankind; he looks just like a human only he has transparent flickering skin. The skin on the humanoid is reminiscent of the strips of an old black and white television, symbolizing that not only is he enraptured by the television, he is being transformed into the images that are being viewed. The creatures destroying the planet resemble eyes, and come out of the humanoids eyes representing that peoples' addiction to watching the horrible events is in part what is destroying our planet. The glowing boxes clearly symbolize television, they have the same shape as a tv and the boxes are what the humanoid is focused on further strengthening the message of mans' fixation of television.
The symbolism and imagery within the video clearly ties in with the lyrical content of the song. They both work together to strengthen each other's message. When the viewer pays attention to the story line of the creatures and the visual symbolism throughout the video, combined with the figurative language contained in the song, they realize how much they complement each other. All the elements of the video go hand and hand with the message contained within the lyrics of the song. Alone the video and the song both have a powerful message, however together they strengthen one another and the message is epic in the magnitude of the depth of its meaning. The writer of this song relays the horrible universal truth that mankind feeds off of watching death and tragedy on the television, human beings are addicted to this and on some point feel they would die without it.

"Do we a species feel the need to watch death on television? Tragedy transfixes man and makes for better t.v ratings; any news station knows this to be a fact. If they show the story of a person slaughtering their family verses the story of a person doing great good the story of the slaughter will have higher ratings than the story of a random act of kindness. This universal truth is one that is addressed by Tool in their song "Vicarious", the video imagery and symbolism combined with the lyrical content convey a powerful message that "the universe is hostile so impersonal devour to survive / So it is, so it's always been" (lines 31, 32). We feed off of other misery, whether we like to admit it or not. Everyone finds their self engorged in a news story about a kidnapping, war, floods, and various other horrific events. The amount of money those types of movies, books, and various other media sources verses the amount of money that self help books and positive media bring in is proof of that.
All people throughout history have been fascinated by war and death, "neither brave nor bold nor the brightest of stories told / we won't give pause till the blood is flowing" (20,21). Our history, fiction, poem books and art reflect that. All great stories be they fiction or non-fiction have tragedy in them. Eager Allen Poe, Stephen King, and Shakespeare are several examples of epic writers whom stories would have been lacking without the great plot twist of tragedy. Mankind loves to watch the world fall apart around them, safely from their living rooms, "I need to watch things die from a good safe distance / Vicariously I live while the whole world dies". It is a psychological need deep with people enabling them to be feel better about their own miserable lives, by comparing their selves to the people suffering they realize their life is not so horrible. We watch and wait rather than do something to stop or change the horrible events, on some level not only do we want it to have a horrible ending but also we need for it to be a tragic story.
The imagery in the video tales the story of a translucent humanoid with flickering skin which is reminiscent of the old television screen strips, standing transfixed watching the glowing boxes while the world around him is being destroyed. He is held captive by the glowing boxes symbolizing the hold the television has on mankind. The skin on this creature symbolize that not only is he enraptured by the television he is becoming what he is seeing on the television. As he is held captive by the horrific images on the screen you can see monsters within him come out of his eyes, the monsters or eye creatures eventually metamorphosis into the huge creature with tentacles that are destroying the humanoid's world. The humanoid can do nothing, and at one point begins to shake till he reaches out to touch the television, as if getting his addiction fix and reassuring himself that the television is still there. By doing nothing and watching in fascination this creature is not only allowing the destruction of his world but is enabling it to happen. As he watches the glowing boxes his pupils start to resemble the sun in this land, a black hole surrounded by a fiery ring, fire has long symbolized destruction and death. At the end of the video they show a close up of the pupil than pan out further and further till you can see the whole earth, it is than that you realize that the earth also has the same eye as the humanoid. This symbolizes how man does nothing but watch the destruction of this planet and the people within destroy each other, people feel as though they can not stop the horrible events and stay glued to the tv screen, all the while not realizing that by doing so we enable it to happen. We watch so much violence on television that we are desensitized to the point where it seems normal to here about a mother drowning her own child or a bomb going off in a building.
The video clearly ties in with the lyrics to this song, when one pays attention to the story of the creatures depicted in the video combined with the lyrics one can begin to see the deeper meaning involved. They work together to convey the message that even though we want to believe in the goodness of man and desire it to be true. However on a deep level we are memorized by horrific events, the deeper the suffering the better the story, "Incredulous at best your desire to believe in angles in the hearts of men" (28). Though we want to believe in the greater good of man the fact that there are so many willing hurt one another and the others are willing to watch it and not do a thing to stop it that proves that we are not as good as we want to believe. If people had angles in their hearts they would never be able to stand by and idly watch the world die, they would have to do something to stop it or die trying.
The human watching these events may feel like they are better than the ones committing them "Don't look at me like I'm a monster / Frown out your one face but with the other you / stare like a junkie into the tv" (9, 10, 11), but they on a deep level are just as sick and twisted as the ones committing these acts because they do nothing to stop them. The creatures come out of the humanoid in the video and we realize that these eye creatures are the massive creatures destroying the world; this is clearly a message that the great nameless evil destructive forces at play in our world would be ourselves not anything else. People are quick to place the blame on others, and to say that they would never be the cause of horrible events but if watch them and do nothing are we not as bad as the people committing these acts? If we were not so enthralled by these events than maybe people would not feel the need to commit them, from childhood we watch death and destruction of television some of which is committed by our favorite cartoon characters; for example Tom and Jerry, Pokemon, Superman, X-Men this list is endless and can not be listed for the vast magnitude, we allow our children to watch these from birth and some characters like Superman are revered as great examples of how a person should act. However all throughout these shows is violence, by allowing our children to watch not only them but any violence on tv we are teaching them that it is acceptable to behave in this manner. We act according to the behaviors we see in the people around us but by the images we see depicted by our favorite characters, it only makes sense that violence is growing in epic proportion for we are becoming what we see everyday.

PTSD develops after a terrifying experience that involved physical harm or the threat of harm. The person who develops PTSD may have been the one who was harmed, the harm may have happened to a loved one, or the person may have witnessed a harmful event that happened to someone else. People who have PTSD often feel stress ed or frightened even when they are no longer in danger.
PTSD was first identified in war veterans, but it can result from a variety of traumatic incidents, such as mugging, rape, torture, being kidnapped or held captive, child abuse, domestic violence, car accidents, train wrecks, plane crashes, bombings, or natural disasters such as floods or earthquakes.
PTSD can cause many symptoms. It's natural to have some o f these symptoms after a dangerous event. Sometimes people have very serious symptoms that go away after a few weeks. This is called acute stress disorder, or ASD. When the symptoms last more than a few weeks and become an ongoing problem, they might be PTSD. Some peop le with PTSD don't show any symptoms for weeks or months.
These symptoms can be grouped into three categories:
1. Re-experiencing symptoms - Re-experiencing symptoms may cause problems in a person's everyday routine. They can start from the person's ow n thoughts and feelings. Words, objects, sight, sounds, smells, or situations that are reminders o f the event can also trigger re- experiencing.
2. Avoidance symptoms - Things that remind a person of the traumatic event can t rigger avoidance symptoms. These symptoms may cause a person to change his or her personal routine. For example, after a bad car accident, a person who usual ly drives may avoid driving or riding in a car.
3 . Hyperarousal symptoms - Hyperarousal symptoms are usually constant, instead of being triggered by things that remind one of the traumatic events. They can make the person feel stressed and angry. These symptoms may make it hard to do daily tasks, such as sleeping, eating, or concentrating.
It is important to remember that not everyone who lives through a dangerous event gets PTSD. In fact, most will not get the disorder. Stress level s before and after the event, how long a person suffered exposure to harmful events, and support systems a re some of many factors.
The main treatments for people with PTSD are psychother apy ("talk" therapy) and medications such as anti-depressants, or both. Everyone is different, so a treatment that works for one person may not work for another. Other ongoing problems can include panic disorder, depression, substance abuse, and feeling suicidal.
Therapy teaches people helpful ways to react to frighteni ng events that trigger their PTSD symptoms. Based on this general goal, different types of therapy may:
Therapy teaches people the importance of:


text: If you think Iran is scary, just consider what would happen if Islamic extremists took over Pakistan. It's a very real possibility in that increasing worrisome country that helped spawn to the Taliban, and which Foreign Policy magazine has called "the country most likely to transfer nuclear technology to terrorists." That is the conclusion of 69 of 100 national security experts surveyed for the publication's "Terrorism Index 2008." More than half responded that Pakistan is "most likely to serve as al-Qaida's next home base." "We're all really worried that a radical theocracy like Iran will get the bomb, but what if the bomb gets a radical theocracy?" asked a Washington defense analyst speaking on background. Iran may be getting all the attention from Israel and the United States, but shaky Pakistan is the only Islamic nuclear power. Iran may boast of great strides in its pursuit of nuclear, missile and satellite technology, but analysts say its progress is no match for its overblown rhetoric. BUT PAKISTAN doesn't need to boast. It already has a stockpile estimated at 60 or more nuclear warheads and North Korean ballistic missiles and US-made F-16s to deliver them; target one is India, but in the hands of an extremist Islamist regime that could easily shift to Israel. Washington has reportedly spent more than $100 million to help secure Pakistan's nuclear arsenal, although it does not even know its size or location. Pakistan is a failed nation state. It has an unstable government on the verge of collapse, a tenuous flirtation with democracy, a coup-inclined military with ties to the Taliban, and an upcoming presidential election in which the front-runner's lawyers contend he suffers from dementia and depression. It also has sold nuclear technology to Iran, Libya and North Korea. Growing Islamization of state institutions and policies, notably the schools, is legitimizing religious extremism. Many Taliban trace their roots to Pakistani madrassas. MOST IMPORTANT, Pakistan's porous border with Afghanistan is a sanctuary and training ground for the Taliban resurgence and al-Qaida. Osama bin Laden is believed to be holed up in those areas which are more hospitable to the Islamic extremists than the Pakistani government and army, which has been unable or unwilling to do much about it. In fact, Western experts believe elements of Pakistan's military and its powerful intelligence service, ISI, are working with the Taliban. The new army leader, Gen. Ashfaq Kiyani, recently stepped down as head of the agency. Pakistan, said the defense analyst, is "the scariest place on Earth." It could splinter if powerful ethnic groups like the Pashtun and the Baluch seek to break away and form their own states. Or there could be yet another military coup, this time led by the ISI elements close to the Taliban. Hamid Karzai, the pro-US president of Afghanistan, has accused Pakistan of giving the Taliban sanctuary and bases to attack his country, and ISI has been accused of being behind attempts on his life. A recent Council on Foreign Relations report said ISI is believed to have links to terrorist groups in several countries, including England, India, Afghanistan and Iraq. ISI-Taliban cooperation goes back nearly 30 years, and many of its agents "have ethnic and cultural ties to Afghan insurgents and naturally sympathize with them," according to Frederic Grare of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Author Steve Coll, an expert on the Taliban, has called it "an asset of the ISI" and "a proxy force, a client of the Pakistan army." The Pentagon sees the deteriorating situation in Pakistan as increasingly dangerous. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, flew out to the Indian Ocean last week to convene a highly unusual secret meeting of senior American and Pakistani commanders aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. His message: You've got to do more to combat the militants who have found sanctuary in the border areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan and are responsible for the rising number of US and NATO casualties. He wants Pakistan to allow US Special Operations forces to operate more freely in those areas. THERE ARE serious questions as to which side the Pakistani military and ISI are really on. US President George W. Bush has reportedly complained that some ISI elements are leaking US intelligence information to the Taliban and aiding militants' attacks on US and NATO forces in Afghanistan. A coup led by pro-Taliban elements would put that country's nuclear arsenal in the hands of some of the world's most dangerous Islamic extremists. Pakistani journalist Ahmed Rashid writes that "Islamic extremism is gaining strength" in his country, and warns that the army may insist that a pro-Taliban Islamic party, the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam, be part of any future government. Pakistan may be the greatest challenge awaiting the next president of the United States, but so far it has been getting scant attention in either campaign.

Saint John Police Force
The Saint John Police Force Major Crime Unit is releasing still photographs in the hope of seeking public's assistance in identifying the male depicted in these pictures (below). Two women were believed to be accosted during separate incidents involving one male in uptown Saint John.
Around 7:00 last night (January 14th), a woman reported she was being followed by a suspicious looking man and then chased on foot to a nearby address off of Cliff Street.
The second incident occurred at 9:30pm, where we received another report of a woman heard screaming on Princess Street near Sydney after a man grabbed her before taking off to avoid being arrested.
We believed the two events are connected to this same male suspect.
The Saint John Police Force is asking anyone with information on these incidents to contact 506-648-3333 or crime stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Logan promises to be the most violent entry in Hugh Jackman's solo Wolverine movies, and possibly the bloodiest X-Men movie yet. There are now many stark black & white photos and somber trailers that paint a dark, visceral picture of the film, too. Logan will show both Logan and Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) in ways that haven't been portrayed on the big screen before, as grizzled old mutants whose powers are deteriorating - something that should only accentuate the movie's grim tone compared to other X-Men adaptations.
Although the previews for Logan haven't exactly looked fun, it's not impossible to find levity in the movie's otherwise gloomy first trailer. Set to Johnny Cash's melancholy swan song, his iconic cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt", the Logan trailer certainly looks and feels like the "violent Western" that the movie has been described as. Nevertheless, one creative YouTuber decided it would be cool to set the same trailer's brooding sights and sounds in the colorful world of LEGOs.
YouTube channel "thebrickranger" has uploaded his own version of the Logan trailer, featuring all of the same sound and music and presenting a faithful recreation of its visuals almost entirely with custom-made LEGO figures and sets. The makers used what appears to be red Play-Doh for blood and scars, as you can see in the scene of a heavily scarred Logan leaning over the sink and struggling just to put on a shirt.
This isn't the first time that the Logan trailer has been given a makeover, as a full black & white version also exists in addition to a version featuring nothing but clips from the X-Men animated series. The LEGO version also depicts impressively accurate recreations of the action scenes you see in the trailer, including Logan brandishing his adamantium claws and getting into intense chase scenes against the bad guys.
The animation is credited to Paradox Pictures and thebrickranger, whose first name is Austin, according to his YouTube page. The channel has produced its own LEGO Batman series, in addition to many LEGO shorts featuring other Marvel and DC superheroes like Spider-Man and The Avengers. His LEGO take on the Logan trailer brightens up a decidedly bleak preview of a movie that is expected to feature its fair share of tragic themes. It's often amusing to juxtapose something light-hearted like LEGO figures with the Logan trailer's relentless darkness. Thebrickranger and Paradox Pictures did a good job marrying the light and the dark with this production.
Of course, Logan is going to be rated R and have some of the most mature content ever produced for an X-Men film not titled Deadpool. So it will be tough for younger kids who enjoy LEGOs to see this trailer and then get the unfortunate news that they can't see the movie when it comes out. Still, if you're a nostalgic type or just a fan of unique LEGO movie productions, thebrickranger's take on the Logan trailer is sure to bring a grin to your face.

When it comes to fixing cars, you may feel like you are totally clueless. You must do something because you don't want to have this experience every time. The following information can help you figure out how to handle things the next time there is an issue.
Never underestimate how important it is to carrying an emergency kit inside your vehicle. You need tools to change a flat tire, charge a battery, and you must have spare gas. You may also want to add some batteries, a flashlight and a few blankets in the event that you break down at night.
Always ask lots of questions when your car is at the shop. You can use this time to tell them about the problems you have and to get answers as to what needs to be done. An ounce of prevention can save you a lot of money over time.
When you are experiencing car trouble, you may not have to call a mechanic. You can easily learn to perform small repairs yourself. If you would like to try it, you can research on the problem online. It isn't all that hard, and you can really save lots of money by repairing your car yourself.
Ask your mechanic is he is familiar with working on your car. If they have before, then they are likely going to be able to also fix your car easily enough.
Beware mechanics who charge you for repairs which are unnecessary. Your mechanic should contact you if they come across additional issues while fixing your car and get your approval before they go ahead and replace more parts. Avoid mechanics that have previously done work without your go ahead.
Now you possess the information needed to get your car fixed correctly every time. Instead of getting frustrated, use what you learned here. Read on to learn more in case you need to do future car repairs.

- Joseph + Melissa
Every year I have a winter wedding that I book and I think "Man! That's so far away!". When Joe and Melissa booked back in the summer, December seemed so far off…. like it would never get here! Then fall came and that wasn't the case anymore. Before I knew it, we were 2 weeks away and I was wondering where the month of December had gone!! Joe and Melissa tied the knot in Hampton, VA this past Saturday at Liberty Baptist Church. This is a random fact but my grandparents are members at Liberty and my mom and dad were actually married there many moons ago! It was good to be in a familiar area with familiar people that I love! If you remember from their engagement shoot,
I mentioned that I went to college with these two and served on a leadership team with them as well! They weren't dating back then… they actually weren't ever interested in each other! But oh how things have changed!! These two couldn't be more in love and ready to start this new phase of life together. They are a wonderful example of God's perfect timing. Their relationship began and there wasn't any wondering or guessing if this was right… they just knew, this was it!! All their friends and family rejoiced with them on Saturday and it was a beautiful celebration! The morning rain scared us a bit but the skies cleared RIGHT before their first look and I couldn't have been more thrilled!!!! It worked out perfectly and we were even able to get some glowy evening shots! (which is hard to do in the dead of winter!) So enjoy this beautiful wedding of my two sweet friends and Happy New Year everyone!!
Sweet moment…
Nice Joe!!!
Michael's shot…..
Please take notice of the runner in the background. Priceless.
Michael's shot:)
So cute!
Recognize these guys?!! So many KJ brides at one wedding!! Love them all!
what a STUNNING wedding, katelyn!! absolutely gorgeous. and i'm sorry i almost DIED laughing from that EPIC photobomb by that runner! hilarious.
Beautiful, Katelyn!!! I love all those KJP couples in ONE blog post! I recognized Shannon immediately. The post ceremony lighting was FANTASTIC!
This is so pretty!!! I shot a wedding at the Sandy Bottom Park this summer (we live almost next door to it!!) and it's so neat to see your shots at the same place! Love the beautiful light in their portraits!!
Beautiful! As I was looking through the post, I thought I saw lots of KJP brides and grooms…how neat! So glad you had a winter wedding because I needed a little KJ wedding inspiration!
You never cease to amaze me. The details you capture are breathtaking. Just from viewing your post I feel like I was there. Total awesomeness.
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MoJoe, you two re gorgeous :) I am so biased towards this post…2 incredible friends married, amazing wedding party (especially my husband ;)), and that picture of all us KJ brides is so cute!!! Katelyn you ended the year amazingly, praying for many more incredible couples and weddings for you to capture in 2013!!
I have been looking forward to this post for so long! I'm so happy for Joe and Melissa! Joe and I lived next door to each other our freshman year of college so I'm so happy that he found someone as wonderful as Melissa. Katelyn, the photos are gorgeous! The winter glowy light is perfect, and the photos in the row boats are fantastic.
BEAUTIFUL! I love that house that you took some of their portraits in front of…also I love all of the black and whites!! so rich and pretty!
Soooo beautiful!
Curious about the B&Ws. They really can be so elegant. They are also a great cover/solution for less than ideal color combos or lighting issues. Curious what prompted them here? Request of the bride? Challenge of winter light?
The "glowy light" and lacy patterns of the gazebo are terrific and def. my favs. Bride also looks calm and very happy in these post ceremony shots. The canoe shot with the water reflections are also money.
Hmm…my fav. photo captures seem to be pretty consistent, happy light/shadow play and reflections tend to pop to the top of the list.
such a cute couple! especially loved the shot of the brides praying. And the groom photo with the runner- perfect! :)
LOVE the gangnam style shot! so fun! the boat shots are really pretty and remind me of the notebook for some reason haha. also, i never would have even noticed the runner in the background if you wouldn't have said anything haha. totally caught me by surprise! haha. great pictures! so beautiful! :)
what a fun couple and these are all gorgeous!! the runner in the background is fantastic. ;) Made me laugh.
A job well done again Katelyn. I love the house shots as well as the ones in the boats.
I love the PURPLE! Those first look shots are gorgeous.
wow! Gorgeous!
so many wonderful moments!! love the shots of the bride wearing the shawl.
These are so sweet:) Mo- you look beautiful! Your bouquet is stunning!! Also- I love the pics with you wearing the pashmina- so elegant:)
You captured the day perfectly, Katelyn! We've known Joe since he was 12 years old, and were privileged to be guests at this wedding. Thanks for sharing your beautiful images. I especially love the ones of Melissa and Joe in the boat!

Re-using is SO much FUN!!!Don't you hate it when you forget your tickies when you go on vacation?
Always feeling a bit guilty about buying gum in hard plastic containers (but not willing to give up my beloved crunchy-on-the-outside/chewy-on-the-inside gum) will be a thing of the past now that I realized it's the perfect size for tickies!
What else could go in these perfect little containers? Beads? Jewelry?
I'd love to hear your ideas! What other plastic (metal/paper/etc.) containers do you re-use?

Patient Testimonials
Betsy's Ovarian Cancer Survivor Story
I was horrified. "YOU HAVE CANCER" was the scariest thing I had ever heard. I couldn't do the standard treatments. I wanted to be around for my children. I started doing research and eventually found a clinic I knew was right for me. Cancer has been scary, but I'm working on that, but I know cancer doesn't have to be a death sentence!
Charles' Bladder Cancer Survival Story
After undergoing surgery to reconstruct my bladder and remove the surrounding lymph nodes, the post surgical report showed the cancer had spread to my other lymph nodes. I was given 4 months to a year. I have a daughter, and wife. I needed to be around. I was given a referral and I knew it was my chance to start on my healing journey.
Lisa Engelman's Lymphoma Survivor Story
I was living a nightmare that didn't fit with my life. I was shocked and afraid and I just looked at my kids wondering if I would be able to raise them. The doctors told me I had an incurable form of cancer. My husband and I spent so much time researching online. We found a treatment center and knew it was where I needed to be, but not everything was going to be easy.
Tim's Prostate Cancer Survivor Story
In 2009 I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. The fear set in. I didn't feel that surgery was right for me. My wife and I tried the Gerson method, but it became too much. We prayed, and God lead us to Hope4Cancer. Everything was great for a few years, but then pain returned, and they found more cancer in my prostate. God showed me I needed to walk in his presence. We still loved and believed in Jesus, but our foundation was a little shaken.
Julie's Breast Cancer Survivor Story
I was rushed into trying to make decisions after my diagnosis. I felt like I was letting my body down. I was overwhelmed. I started researching on how I could heal myself. I said no thank you to conventional treatments. The mind-spirit work I did was almost more important than the body work I did to heal. Cancer doesn't scare me like it used to.
David's Multiple Myeloma Survivor Story
I was incredibly scared. I never thought the tumor above my femur could be anything more, but the MRI showed otherwise. "Suspected multiple myeloma." In my research I found Hope4Cancer, and they resonated with me. After fighting this for over four years I was shocked at the response the cancer had to the treatment and I'm still in disbelief.

A sense of place: West Country farmhouse cheddar
Categories: Product stories
It may be the most ubiquitous cheese in the world but even cheddar can boast its own terroir. What sets the real stuff apart from the rest?
Words: Daniel Tapper
The most famous, popular and widespread hard cheese in the world, cheddar is now produced as far afield as Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, Sweden and the USA.
Indeed, the latter of these countries churns out a staggering 1.5 million tonnes per year, much of which doesn't even taste of cheese, never mind cheddar. Kraft Easy, for example, is so soft it is sold in pressurised spray cans and looks more like cheap, fluffy margarine than anything you'd serve on Welsh rarebit.
Meanwhile, such is the ubiquity of cheddar in Australia (accounting for 55 per cent of all cheese consumption in the country) that the name has been rendered entirely redundant, with cheesemakers simply using a number on their labels to denote strength.
Cheddar, it seems, is one of the last foods on earth you'd expect to find in a column celebrating foods that display a sense of place. But it is precisely because of cheddar's global reputation—as well as its tendency for bastardisation—that it is so important we recognise the real deal.
Synonymous with the West Country
So what exactly is the 'real deal' when it comes to this famous cheese?
There is no doubt that cheddar is synonymous with the West Country, particularly Somerset, where there is evidence to suggest it was made as far back as the 15th century—some even suggest a similar cheese was brought to mainland Britain by the Romans via France (though this could well be a conspiracy by the Latins to claim cheddar as their own).
Specifically, production flourished around the Cheddar Gorge, where the cheese is believed to have been stored in the cool, damp caves that stretch beneath the Mendip Hills. Aged for longer than most cheeses, cheddar's salty, ear-tingling bite garnered it a growing medieval fan base, prompting farmers in the surrounding counties of Dorset, Devon and Cornwall to try their hand at making it. Why did cheese thrive in these four counties? All four boast distinctive clay and loam soils, a temperate climate and relatively high rainfall—a recipe for lush, dairy-grazing grass.
Protected status
It is due to these unique climatic conditions that West Country farmhouse cheddar now boasts Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status. And any cheese baring this name must be made using milk from local herds reared and milked in Somerset, Dorset, Devon or Cornwall.
The cheese must also be made using traditional methods with no additional colourings, flavourings or preservatives, and be matured in the same place for a minimum of nine months, meaning the cheddar remains in the care of the farmer until it is released.
But perhaps most importantly, the PDO ensures that that the curd used to make the cheese undergoes a skilful—and time consuming—process known as 'cheddaring', which refers to the cutting, stacking and turning of the curds by hand to ensure all the whey is drained. Crucially, during this process the acidity in the curds rises, which ultimately helps the cheese to mature for longer.
If it wasn't for a handful of West Country dairies insisting on making cheese in this time-honoured way, England's real cheddars could well have been consigned to the doldrums long ago. But isn't it now time we took things one step further by banning the name 'cheddar' on any products made outside the UK? After all, you wouldn't drink champagne that was made in Sweden and served from a spray can.
Montgomery's Cheddar, Somerset
This unique cheddar has been made at Manor Farm in North Cadbury since the early 20th century. When Jamie Montgomery took over from his mother in the mid-nineties, the market was dominated by cheese with a bright, acid, sharp flavour set in a soft creamy paste, which was well suited to supermarket cutting lines. Determined to do things differently, he set out to make a cheese with a drier texture and more complexity.
Keen's Cheddar, Somerset
In operation since 1899, this tiny Somerset dairy has just one herd of 250 friesian cows and two employees, besides the family. The dairy's clothbound cheese matures for over 12 months in the farm store, where it is hand-turned, cleaned and sampled to ensure it develops its characteristic subtle, nutty flavour.
Westcombe Cheddar, Somerset
Cheese has been made at Westcombe since the 1890s, using milk sourced from its own three herds, which graze on lush Somerset pastures within a mile of the dairy. Cheesemaker Bob Bramley produces about 100 rounds each week, aging them for up to 20 months.

To the Editors: The article by Elashoff and colleagues (1) provided a comprehensive assessment of the status of our current knowledge of the possible effects of androgens on muscular strength. In addition to the numerous deficiencies of the reported studies noted by Elashoff, we point out that none of the studies provided any measurement of the steroid levels obtained in blood or tissue. This factor may result from the difficulty of measuring in serum the variety of anabolic agents taken by athletes. However, considering the multiple routes of androgen metabolism it is difficult to determine an androgen response without some

There are so many Microgaming slots that it's hard to decide where to begin a description. They've got big games with big payoffs. They've also got games with just three reels and one pay line. Whatever type of slot game you're looking for, Microgaming has it.
There are hundreds of Microgaming online slots that you can play and that total is always growing. The company's developers create several new games every month.
As difficult as it might be to decide which Microgaming slot to play, you should have no trouble finding an online casino which offers their games. There are dozens of internet gaming sites which offer nothing but Microgaming action. There are dozens of other online casinos which include Microgaming among the games they offer.
Besides the variety of reels and pay lines offered by Microgaming slots, you can also choose among games with such features as Bonus Rounds, Wilds and Scatter symbols. You can also choose the type of Bonus Rounds you want, including Mega Spins, Rolling Reels and Stacked Wilds.
Microgaming also provides a wide selection of payline options. They have several games offering just 1 payline. Others have anywhere from 9-100 paylines. Microgaming also has more than thirty games which are listed as having no paylines, but 243 ways to way. When you play those games, you win simply by matching symbols on adjacent reels.
One of the most popular of Microgaming's 243 ways to win slots is "The Dark Knight." Based on the popular Batman movie, this game not only offers spectacular animation, but includes video clips of its characters. At times, you'll also see Batman jump down in front of the reels.
While all of its features offer enough reason to play this slot, The Dark Knight also includes four Progressive Jackpots, with its Mega Jackpot beginning at 1,000,000. All of that money is in addition to its bonus round, which can offer returns well over 90,000.00.
The Dark Knight is just one of many exciting themed slots offered by Microgaming. Whether you want to play a game based on a popular television show or movie such as "Tomb Raider," or you want to play a game with an historic theme such as "Robin Hood Feathers of Fortune," you'll find it among the Microgaming slots. You'll also find many exotic settings, including "Sovereign of the Seven Seas," as well as games that feature notable landscapes, including "Arctic Fortune."
Microgaming has more than thirty 3-reel slots which offer anywhere from 1-9 paylines. Some of them offer both free spins and a bonus game. Other Microgaming 3-reel games are called "MegaSpin Slots." They combine several slot games and give you the chance to play as many as nine games at one time.
These are the biggest games that the company offers. These slots have the most features and offer the chance for some big payoffs. Microgaming 5-reel games feature as few as 9 pay lines and as many as 100. They offer dynamic bonus rounds which could include multipliers as well as the chance to win lots of free spins.
The biggest payoffs you can receive playing Microgaming Slots are offered by their progressive jackpot games. In addition to The Dark Knight, Microgaming's other progressive slots include such games as "Tunzamunni" and "Cash Splash," both of which have just three reels.
Among the Microgaming 5-reel progressive jackpot games you can play are "Mega Moolah" and "Mega Moolah Isis." The progressive jackpots of both these games are triggered by a bonus round that appears randomly. You will be assigned one of four colours during the bonus round. Each colour represents one of the game's four jackpots. If your colour matches that of the Mega Jackpot, you will win at least 1,000.000.00.

Airbus Group
Who are Airbus Group?
Airbus Group is a global leader in aeronautics, space and related services. It comprises Airbus as a leading global manufacturer of highly innovative commercial aircraft, Airbus Defence and Space as the defence and space leader in Europe, providing tanker, combat, transport and mission aircraft as well as space systems, equipment and services, and Airbus Helicopters which offers the world's widest range of civil and military helicopters. Airbus Group is a major partner in the Eurofighter consortium, a stakeholder in the missile systems provider MBDA and a 50% partner in turboprop aircraft maker ATR.
Airbus Group strives to expand its key programmes to support further profitable growth. To gain access to new markets and resources, the Group is expanding its international footprint but remains strongly committed to its home countries within Europe.
What projects / schemes / initiatives to support women's recruitment, retention and progression in STEM are Airbus Group involved in?
Airbus is committed to advancing women in the workplace and developing female talent and is determined to increase the number of women recruited to 25% and the number in senior management positions to 20% by 2020.
On March 9th 2015, Airbus Group launched Balance for Business, the Group's brand new cross-divisional, cross-departmental and trans-national network to foster gender balance. Involving, in total over 2,000 employees, the network aims to spur the recognition and development of women across the Group by attracting, developing and retaining skilled women.
Airbus in the UK supports the Industrial Cadets scheme that has been inspired by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales in 2010. Engineering Development Trust is co-ordinating Industrial Cadets on behalf of The Prince of Wales and their role is to work with companies and schools to deliver the programme through a national and regional network.
Industrial Cadets is designed to raise the awareness of local career opportunities in the industrial and manufacturing sectors, develop employability skills and, crucially, raise the aspirations of young students encouraging them to follow careers in engineering. In 2012 Airbus launched the programme for the first time and it has been running at both the Broughton and Filton sites since then every year.
Under the three month scheme the students, aged between 12 and 14 years old, need to develop an environmental project with the help of Airbus mentors and learn more about advanced aeronautical engineering and the high-tech global world of aviation.
Prizes are awarded for teamwork, innovation, best solution and student's choice and all students graduate as "Industrial Cadets". Airbus has opted for an all-girls cohort, in particular to encourage more girls to consider the industry for future careers.
Why did Airbus Group join WISE?
"Airbus Group is committed to encouraging women to join our organisation and inspire young girls to pursue careers in aeronautics. Reaching gender balance is a business necessity; we are proud to promote our membership of WISE, and are delighted to showcase our involvement with the WISE Ten Steps programme as one of the initial signatories."

Stylish Bike Bags
Looking for a chic yet bike-able bike bag? I am. Hours on the internet have me torn between a few choices. Una offers an eco-friendly leather option ($148) that goes from shoulder bag to handlebar-bag. Under 9 inches, it would fit nicely inside my basket! I like that Harper Ave's Kazuyo ($209) is both elegant and roomy. This frame pocket ($159) from The Beebe Company caught my eye too, though it wouldn't work so well on a mixte frame.
How do you haul your goods around town?

Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think by Brian Wansink, Ph.D
There are 'hidden persuaders' in our lives that cause us to eat more than we think. These can be: labelling, sounds, lighting, package sizes, etc.
Wansink suggests that we can lose 10-30 pounds within a year by making just one to three 100-calorie changes a day to our eating habits and environment. These changes are small enough that our bodies don't really even notice that we've made them, but they supposedly work wonders!
A good book, with lots of interesting stories about the studies done in Wansink's lab. :o)

Egads, not that again
The porn thing I'm nonplussed about. But this kind of thing makes me bananas. At Steve Gilliard's blog, they are talking about whether or not men's cheating is preordained or not. Steve is leaning heavily towards "yes", and some commenters are certain of it, like this one who puts it bluntly:
Listen to Steve. All men, if given an opportunity to get away with it, will cheat on their wives, girlfriends, etc.
This attitude is pretty self-assured. I would point out that if it actually gets roundly believed by women that they have to babysit their men 24/7 in order to prevent cheating, women will give up on men entirely, as a general rule.
But I don't believe men need babysitters. "All men do it," is the refrain of those who do it and want to be justified in their behavior. Or maybe they haven't done it yet, but they want an out if they ever do. Of course, since a majority of men have or will cheat at some point in their life, this is a common enough refrain. But a majority of women have or will cheat at some point in their lives, and we don't hear women flippantly telling men that they just need to get over it. In part, that's because we have a genuine fear of having potential infidelity used to restrict our freedom, something men don't usually consider as a possibility.
Look, if a man is going to cheat at the first opportunity, that means most men are cheating all the time. Opportunity is everywhere. And for men who don't have women flirting with them all the time, there are prostitutes. But a good number of men don't cheat. And there has to be a better explanation than their wives or girlfriends keep them on a short leash.
I feel very passionately on this subject--while it seems like it's advantageous to men on the surface to have this stereotype around because it's a free pass to cheat, it's not so fun for men to deal with a girlfriend or wife who is miserable with suspicions about something that isn't true. Whether we like it or not, these stereotypes seep into our subconscious and, at the first evidence of any wrongdoing, come roaring into our consciousness and can cause a lot of damage. And for no good reason, if someone is innocent. Yes, I've had bad experiences, which I shan't elaborate on. Suffice it to say, these stereotypes are very damaging and people shouldn't just non-chalantly toss them around. I treat every man who says that all men cheat given the chance as someone who is as good as a cheater himself. It's just a matter of time.

My name is Ian and I am whoisthechallenger.
Ian Barber. I am the youngest, and the most active of the Dartmoor letterboxers known as The Upland Trotters.
What was this WITC thing all about?
I wanted to do so much more than just post occasional thoughts on a forum, and rued the lack of a decent UK letterboxing blog. I thought I would create my own blog, but since the ramblings and views would be my own, and not those of my parents, I decided to do the whole thing anonymously. Although I initially intended the blog would be more edgy and provocative, I came to the conclusion that I would be found out and it would not help me or the 'Uptrots'.
I also guessed it would have more intrigue and appeal if I wrote it under a pseudonym. I remember a witty, anonymous letterboxing newsletter (not created by us) being circulated within a small circle of letterboxers several years ago , and I simply hoped to recreate just a bit of the mystery. I'm not the big headed prat that some have suggested :D
The Upland Trotters personal stamp features 2 hillwalking characters. My father is depicted out in front striding away, whilst my Mother is left exasperated further down the hill. I was removed from the stamp in 1997 after leaving home. Whilst mum fell out of love with letterboxing some years ago, my father regularly joined me on the walks detailed in this blog. The final box we found together was the relationship box sited for The Upland Trotters near Pigs House in May 2011 ("Down, but not out" - May 2011). My father sadly passed away, very suddenly, in June 2011, but I wanted to continue my blog in his honour. I came to the decision that WITC would be more than an online letterboxing diary, and become my letterboxing identity.
I took the name whoisthechallenger from the book 'Yes Man' by author and presenter Danny Wallace. WITC is the nemesis of the book's hero, but you'll have to read the hilarious book to find out who Danny's challenger was!
Why are you telling us all this now?
It was 21 years ago today that The Upland Trotters started letterboxing. April 21st is therefore an important date in our calendar. Also, my cover was blown, my identity was no longer secret. It was only a matter of time before everyone discovered the truth.
So what is the future for whoisthechallenger?
This blog will carry on. I will now letterbox as whoisthechallenger. Please keep an eye out for my new personal stamp! For those who have passed their WOM boxes on to The Upland Trotters, please forgive me/us! My clues will be released next week - keep reading my blog for more details! The Upland Trotters will also live on - mainly in spirit and perhaps on special occasions.
Thank you for reading my blog.
