I just had to share this video, even though it's totally bootleg and filmed from a camcorder in front of a TV. I loved Rocko's Modern Life when I was a kid.
So I work in an office building in midtown Manhattan and we don't recycle. I hate it. Think about it: what is the majority of garbage created in an office building? PAPER! Easily recyclable paper! I asked the building manager and he said there is no program in place. So I emailed accounts payable, just to be sure that we're not paying for a program that we're not using.
I often work until 7 or 8 in the evening, so I'm here when the cleaning lady comes and I can verify that all the garbage, even the recyclables goes in the same trash bag. I'm not ok with this.
So I'm going to see if I can start a recycling program for my building. It's 2007! Shouldn't this be mandatory? Updates on my progress to follow.
And now that song is going to be stuck in my head all day.

Toss our throw-away culture
Check this article from the Toronto Star. It's worth a full read. Reporter Tyler Hamilton cuts right to our wasteful lunch habits in the first paragraph. Plastic utensils, styrofoam to-go boxes, paper bags all languishing in the garbage, destined for the landfil because we're too lazy to pack our lunch.
Since I work in Manhattan, I started bringing my lunch because I was hemorrhaging cash by buying everyday. Now I get the added bonus of producing less waste with my PBJ along with the $10/day saved.
But it's not just lunch leftovers that are causing our landfils to overflow. It's pretty much everything we buy. Think about it - is all that flashy packaging really necessary? NO. So it's worth it to write a letter or call the companies that you purchase from regularly and complain about the packaging. Chances are, all that plastic and styrofoam is costing them a lot of money as well. As Hamilton puts it, "Kids toys are the worst – an endless struggle with plastic film, polystyrene foam and plastic ties, all tightly glued, stapled and knotted to a recyclable cardboard structure that's so mangled in the end it never reaches a blue box." He even goes one step further to suggest that legislation to limit the percentage of packaging in product volume should be considered. And I think that's awesome.
If you're looking for something to write your representative about, why not start with this?

Write your representative
OK, I admit it: I've never written to my representatives in Congress. I don't even know who my rep is in the House (although, to be fare, I did just move). It's just not something I thought about doing. This Consumerist post was just what I needed to hear. It makes it so easy to just grab a pen and write your rep. I mean, how are they supposed to know what we want if we don't tell them?
"Members of Congress work for you. Without your votes, they won't stay in office. They go to great lengths to cultivate a positive relationship with you, their boss. Very few people take the time to write to a Member of Congress, so the few that do carry a disproportionate influence.
Fifteen minutes is well worth the time to influence a $2 trillion enterprise."
Oh and by the way, you can find your representative in the House here and in the Senate here.

The idea of limited energy
In my job, I have to read a LOT - magazines, newspapers, online news services - you name it. It's actually what helped me decide to begin this blog and try to change the way I live my life because for the first time, I was spending a significant amount of time every day learning about what's going on in the world. And while I definitely do recommend getting a subscription to a newsweekly like Time or Newsweek and catching the evening news when you get the chance, no one should have to spend as much time as I do with mass media. Yowza.
ANYWAY, in my daily media deluge, I came across this article on MSN. It's a pretty straightforward way for people (especially the car-owning, suburban type) to use less energy. Here is an excerpt:
I've never really thought about it like this before, but I guess I've been doing little things like this for a while. It started in college, when I had like no money and needed to make everythink last longer. My old rule of washing my jeans after each wearing was quickly forgotten and I started using the same drinking glass all day long (rinsing after each use, obvs) instead of getting a new one each time I got thirsty.
The section on sharing is a particularly good one. Get more done in less time by relying on friends and neighbors. When I had a car, I crammed my friends inside for a grocery store/beer run and we all got what we needed. When I no longer had a car, my friends returned the favor.
It's not so hard to make nice with our planet. One little change precedes the next, at least that's the hope anyway.

Let's get specific
Being a good human is not something I can accomplish immediately. In fact, I don't know if I can ever classify myself as "good" without sounding pretentious. So instead I'm striving to be a better human than I currently am. This is what I will do to get there:
Be Nice.
Sometimes I'm a bitch. That's not ok. I'm going to hold my tongue more often and be polite to strangers and send flowers to my grandmother. People appreciate niceness.
Go One Step Further.
That's part of this blog's purpose. Discovering new worthwile goals and writing about them is not the same as doing them. Yes, I recycle, but I can just as easily reduce what I use in the first place and make even more of an impact. Sure, I dropped some change in that homeless woman's cup the other day, but I'm not at the food pantry doling out green beans to the people waiting in line.
Appreciate the Goodness in Others.
I can't and certainly don't want to do it all alone. Finding examples will help me figure out what I can do. Like that One Laptop Per Child program. That's pretty cool.
This is by no means an exhaustive list, however, I think it's a pretty good start.

Charity begins at home
Charity is important. Giving to those in need feels good. But I have some misgivings about charitable giving. Like why the hell are there so damn many charities in the first place? I can't even figure out what issues matter most to me, let alone which organizations I want to give to.
I used to send $20/month to Greenpeace, but I recently stopped because I have no idea what my donations were being used to finance. What does Greenpeace actually do?
So here's a goal: find a charity whose endeavors I believe in and donate as much as I can. The second part is going to be hard because I'm fresh out of college and my living room furniture consists of a chair, but I know that comparatively, I'm way better off than most.

A Brief History of Labor Day
Labor Day, aka The Last Real Weekend of the Summer, never used to be about heading down to the shore and having a barbeque. For a really interesting, in-depth look, check out this article from Forbes. Here's the Reader's Digest version from the History Channel Website:
"On May 11, 1894, workers of the Pullman Palace Car Company in Chicago struck to protest wage cuts and the firing of union representatives. They sought support from their union led by Eugene V. Debs and on June 26 the American Railroad Union called a boycott of all Pullman railway cars. Within days, 50,000 rail workers complied and railroad traffic out of Chicago came to a halt. On July 4, President Grover Cleveland dispatched troops to Chicago. Much rioting and bloodshed ensued, but the government's actions broke the strike and the boycott soon collapsed. Debs and three other union officials were jailed for disobeying the injunction. The strike brought worker's rights to the public eye and Congress declared, in 1894, that the first Monday in September would be the holiday for workers, known as Labor Day."
I think it's interesting that the entire country has forgotten about what Labor Day is really about, especially since worker injustices just keep piling up even today. Do you shop at Wal-Mart? STOP IT. I haven't shopped there in years, and not just because there isn't one in New York City. Check out this website and watch this movie if you don't know what I'm talking about. Ugh this deserves a special post all to itself.

What it's all about
Of all the titles I carry, (girlfriend, sister, renter, etc.) the one I want to be better at is Human. I spend a lot of time trying to make my own life better and sometimes, usually when I'm lying awake at night, it hits me that I'm not doing anything to make anyone else's life better.
I'm not ok with that.
So what do I do about it? Well I plan to do a lot about it. I'm kinda fuzzy on the details right now, and that's ok, because I'll work it out as I go. This blog comes in as a sort of motivational tool. I would definitely feel like a tool if I come in here with big aspirations about changing the world and then don't do anything worth posting about. Public shame is a pretty good motivator, I guess. Plus, if I'm a better human, then it stands to reason that I'll be a better everything else, right?

First of all I have to pinpoint that there are 2 groups of "CRICCAROLI". One is the "official" on Italian Wikipedia and is made of users a bit aggressive but -let's say- normal in their behavior (the main ruler of this group seems to be the fat "Queen of Italian wiki": Frieda Brioschi): they can be found with the nickname "Chattaroli" in Chattaroli. It is interesting to note that they proudly display as their motto that "In irc (internet relay chat) tutti sono malvagi, e chi dice il contrario è stato in irc e quindi è malvagio..." , that in English means "In IRC (main It.Wiki chat channel) all members are evil, and who says the contrary has been in IRC and so he too is evil..."
But the other is an undercover group that is made of "HUMAN RATS", as one of my friends called them. Of course the Mafioso Vituzzu is a member of this second group, as all of you can easily surmise.
The main members of this dangerous "Cricca" are denounced in a comment on Wikiperle by a person with the nickname "ing. Andrea M.". He wrote (as I have written last month) that :
"Blackcat (an admin cousin of Frieda Brioschi, the "fat queen of Italian Wikimedia") and his friends are those who support the web helping Vituzzu in the italian wikipedia; and they work together in the other areas of Wiki on commission. If you pay attention the "Cricca"(Wikimafia) of Vituzzu has jobs everywhere: Blackcat & Jaqen in Commons, Sannita in Wikidata, M7 in Wikiquote, so when a favour/help is needed it is sufficient to do an e-mail message and the evidences disappear. And nobody dares to denounce because afraid to be banned...... (Lui Blackcat/Sergio e tutti questi amichetti sono quelli che sostengono la rete di soccorso di Vituzzu e agiscono su commissione negli altri progetti. Se ci fate caso la cricca di Vituzzu ha incarichi dovunque: Blackcat e Jaqen su Commons, Sannita su Wikidata, M7 su Wikiquote, quindi quando serve un favore basta lasciare un messaggio in e-mail e la roba sparisce. E nessuno denuncia niente perché ha paura per la propria utenza......)
This person nicknamed "Ingegnere Andrea M." has even added that he was forced to stop writing on Italian Wikipedia because of anonymous letters received! If interested, please read with a "google translator" his comment in Italian of January 4, 2016 ( wikiperle.blogspot.com/2015/07/vituzzu-contro-il-prof-drago.html#comment-form ): here it is another evidence that this "Cricca" is a disgusting MAFIA, with its usual anonymous attacks!!!!
Furthermore, allow me to repeat what has happened to me (nicknamed "Brunodam" in Wikipedia) when I was banned forever by members of this disgusting "Cricca" in 2007:
"....Two relatives from Italy came to spend a summer in 2007 at Brunodam's house in south Florida. They spent some months posting with him on Salerno topics on the Italian Wikipedia from his home (using his same modem, of course). An Italian wiki admin did not believe that they were 3 different persons and blocked them: they offered to send copies of their passports & identifications and to talk by phone to show that they were not the same persons, but he kept blocking them. Brunodam then got enraged and "hinted" that he was thinking of getting help from an attorney in order to defend himself from these offensive accusations.......and suddenly he got BANNED FOREVER! No possibility of defending himself, and the same happened for his 2 relatives who got astonished by all this. Brunodam wrote even to Jimbo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jimbo_Wales), but he got always blocked and blocked and blocked and blocked every tentative of communication...."
Later, one of my two relatives -enraged like me- decided to write a blog against this "Cricca". You can read her blog "Criccawikipediaitaliana" -that received many comments and approvals- here:
So, after some years and until we will obtain full victory, we keep & will keep denouncing this "Cricca": Vituzzu, Blackcat, M7, Jacquen, Sannita and a few others (like Alessandro57) are the SHAME of Italian Wikipedia!!!
The members of this evil "Cricca" have one characteristic: they are all supporters of Marxism and/or Social-Communism.....and are linked to leftist groups in the world. Vito, for example, is a known "servant" of the leftist Croatian group that seems ruled/controlled by the tricky admin User:Joy and that in English Wikipedia controls all the articles on former Yugoslavia of criminal dictator Tito.
Since 2011 we have this shameful "leccapiedismo" (coward submission) of Vito and others to this Croatian group (that has received a lot of critics even from the same founder-owner of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales/Jimbo; read: Jimbo_Wales/Archive_144#Gathering_information_about_alleged_irregularities_on_Croatian_Wikipedia
and 2013_issues_on_Croatian_Wikipedia), as can be seen on this comment that was done on "Aromuni e neolatini balcanici(ilmioweblogaromuno)" by Giacomo Sorgi and that can be easily translated with translate-google :
"Eccomi quindi in trasferta per un mese su en.wiki dove sto assistendo ad una situazione praticamente assurda.Mi sono cimentato nella redazione di pagine riguardanti l'Adriatico: il Gargano, Peschici, Ragusa, Giacomo Micaglia.. quando mi rendo conto di cosa sta succedendo: tutte le voci sono artificiosamente slavizzate: addirittura Giacomo Micaglia è Jacob Mijkali, La famiglia Sorgo è diventata Sorcocejivic con tanto di segni diacritici, addirittura esiste su en.wiki la "Repubblica di Dubrovnik"!! Cioè non v'è traccia della cultura nè italiana, nè addirittura romanza...E mentre con stupore mi accorgo di ciò, due utenti di chiaro orientamento nazionalista slavo-croato, tra i più attivi, ingraziatisi alcuni admin iniziano a intimorirmi, rollbackandomi automaticamente nonchè minacciandomi ed accusandomi di essere un sockpuppet di qualche altro povero utente precedentemente bannato. Sto cercando di rendere pubblica la questione, poichè si rischia una deriva impressionante del progetto.Bisogna fare attenzione a non scrivere in modo diretto nelle pagine utente del gruppetto di nazionalisti croati e slavi, oggi - nel 2011- "loro" (Direktor , Srnec, Kubura, Zoupan, Joy & Co.) lo possono fare tranquillamente, mentre gli utenti neutrali o dal nome vagamente italiano vengono subito accusati di essere una "clique".Attenzione poi a rifuggire la marea di troll e sock croati che girano attorno alle voci istriano-dalmate.Ci sono amministratori (come User:Polargeo e come User:Vituzzu) che si sono fatti abbindolare da questo gruppo di fanatici nazionalisti sloveno-croati, e che in tempo zero intervengono col bastone per eliminargli ogni problema.Insomma con siti web che attingono a piene mani da en.wikipedia, ci si è ritrovati in una situazione di falso storico che ha dell'incredibile."
Here it is a brief translation: "I posted in en. wiki something on Istria-Dalmatia issues and I was shocked to find that the Italian Giacomo Micaglia was written Jacob Mijkali or the Sorgo family was named Sorcocejivic, without any reference to the Italian culture in Ragusa (called always Dubrovnik) and so on. I tried to correct something but I was quickly attacked and roll-backed by a group of fanatical Croatian/Slav nationalists (like admin Joy or Croatian Admin Kubura and User:Director or User:Srnec ), who are supported by stupid Italians (like user Vituzzu and user Polargeo).In this way we find in en.wiki a situation of falsification of History that is unbelievable".
Indeed the coward submission of "leccapiedi" Vito can be clearly seen when fanatical admin Joy on the English Wikipedia sent him a post ordering to "check up" (meaning: attack erasing) articles posted by Brunodam here: Brunodam_check_please.........and TRAITOR Vituzzu quickly obeyed erasing many wiki-voices on Italy that were judged favorable to the Italians by "pro-Croatia" Joy, who a week before had made "disappear" -with his usual tricky ways- an article on Italian Cattaro (actual Kotor) that was named Venetian Cattaro: all this happened because Croatian (left & right) nationalists want to erase all evidences of Italian presence in coastal Dalmatia and in Istria/Venezia Giulia. The servant Vituzzu even answered to his "boss" as soon as possible here: User_talk:Joy#Re:AT YOUR ORDERS! What a shame this disgusting coward submission of TRAITOR Vito.........that's why one of my friends called the Calabria's mafioso Vito a REAL HUMAN RAT WITHOUT DIGNITY!
Furthermore Vito is even showing coward submission to the orders of ISIS/Shabaab supporters inside English Wikipedia! He is always at the orders of user:AcidSnow, a wikipedian from Somalia about whom we wrote because friend of banned "terrorist" Middayexpress (read our June 2015 issue: http://manmer2.blogspot.com/2015/06/middayexpress-withdrawal-ban.html )
Finally, now I am going to start a second -and in my opinion more effective- attack against this uncivil & traitor Vituzzu and his "Cricca" (called sometimes "Wikimafia"): from now I will start writing letters directly to the mail address of the main authorities of Wikipedia. After a lot of research I have found their personal addresses. In this way I will reach directly -and without interferences- Jimbo & his managers. And -because of this activity writing these "letters" full of details & evidences in order to convince Jimbo & his managers to get rid of this Wikimafia- probably this is going to be my last month writing this "Manmer2015".....anyway, we'll see what happens in the next months. My best wishes to all of you..... B.D.
Last but not least, we must remember that a lot of persons are complaining about the psychological problems of Vituzzu (similar to those of many mafia bosses). From calling him a "psychopathic mind" to requesting "psychiatric treatment" for his mad behavior, a lot of people have doubts about his brain normality. May be the most precise & indicative is the following comment done by the "Universita' LUIC Carlo Cattaneo" (read the original comment here: http://wikiperle.blogspot.com/2012/01/ll-caso-vituzzu.html ): Unequivocally it is clearly demonstrated that Vituzzu is a real case of human person suffering from pathological egocentrism and narcissistic personality disorder. It is needed urgent psychiatric therapy for his psychosis.
Vituzzu indeed has a psychosis that makes him to act as a damaging psychopath inside Wikipedia: he is a not too much clever young man who is excessively ambitious and a bit sick of sadism. He likes to rule the Italian Wikipedia like a little red "ducetto" (dictator), but he has his limits.
Limits that have been identified with accuracy by the expert Abd when he wrote that "Vituzzu is a loose cannon, and he, with the collaboration of a few others, has been causing massive global activity damaging the projects (of Wikipedia),.......his error rate is enormous".
Furthermore, Vituzzu seems to enjoy to "ban" people on Wikipedia with a sadism that is probably related to a kind of psychological vengeance because he is not working full time (he lives in Calabria, the poorest region of Italy). Additionally he has relatives that seems to be linked to the 'Ndrangheta, a dangerous mafia of Calabria, and he is "bad to the bones" (as a person, who knows him personally, wrote). But -worst of all- he is connected to extreme leftist organizations (like the national-communists of Croatian Wikipedia) and he is shamefully at their service: someone has defined him as "a TRAITOR of his own Italian people" always ready to erase and attack all that can show that the Italians are one of the best & important people in the world.
In a few words: VITUZZU IS DAMAGING WIKIPEDIA! HE DOESN'T CARE OF THIS WONDERFUL ENCYCLOPEDIA: HE ALWAYS USES HIS POWER INSIDE WIKIPEDIA FOR HIS 'PERSONAL VENDETTA' AGAINST THOSE WIKIPEDIANS HE DOESN'T LIKE. THAT'S WHY HE ERASES MANY WELL WRITTEN ARTICLES (EVEN AWARDED WITH WIKI BARNSTARS!!!), LIKE HE DID WITH THOSE DONE BY USER ONOMATICUS ( http://manmer2.blogspot.com/2015/08/onomaticus-case-of-lack-of-justice.html ) & MANY OTHERS.

It has been a long while since I last contacted you. Just for the record, this is the original Onomaticus. I check your blog every now and again and will comment with my opinion of it.
From my experiences of the English Wikipedia, the admins are somewhat aggressive in their stance. They enjoy the power they possess, and they abuse it. Every single page I created is gone, it has been eradicated. Every single attempt to try and persuade them to let me back on has also been eradicated. They have erased my accounts from existence. They know that the truth can't be up there. If it is, it will reflect very badly on them and Wikipedia. Potentially the founder of Wikipedia might remove them from their position. These people are in a position where they cannot allow any kind of criticism of any nature to exist.
You compared them to some kind of leftist Soviet-style dictatorship. It is very similar to that kind of system. They are in power because they have been placed there, and wish to remain there.
I haven't been the Italian wikipedia, but from what I have seen and your posts, the same is happening over there.
In reality, these people are just trying to defend their position. They are like a mafia. But in reality, they are just bad at their job.
Wikipedia is dead from all of the abuse and tyranny.
Hi Onomaticus. Sorry for what you have experienced in en.wiki (it is similar to what has happened to me and many, many, many others....). BDReplyDelete
The italian admins of wiki, expecially vituzzu is one of the worst person, he keeps blocking people and changes on wiki just for personal revenge. All changes I did on wiki were with source and respecting wiki rules, but he will block you the same. wikipedia is not about democracy , it gives power to single peoples without controlReplyDelete

One of Sidney Nolan's classic Ned Kelly series of paintings has been sold at auction for close to $1 million.
Auction house Sotheby's said it was delighted with the results from its offering of 69 lots in Melbourne from traditional, modern and contemporary art, which achieved a total sale of $4.276 million on Tuesday.
The jewel in the sale was Nolan's painting Ned Kelly: Crossing the River, which sold in a telephone bid to a private collector for $960,000.
Sotheby's was expecting the 1955 piece to fetch between $800,000 and $1.2 million.
A spokesman for Sotheby's would not say whether the collector is Australian.
The piece, from Nolan's second Ned Kelly series, was sold by his daughter Jinx Nolan, who has hung the painting in her home in the US for decades.
It has not been seen publicly since Nolan's wife Cynthia exhibited it in Sydney in 1975.
In 2010, another of Nolan's Kelly series, the 1946 piece First-Class Marksman, sold for an Australian record $5.4 million.
Tuesday's auction set four new artist auction records and strong bidding pushed several works to sell above their estimated range.
Two superb examples by Jeffrey Smart achieved impressive results.
The New School II (2004) sold for $456,000 (estimate $400,000-600,000) while Reflected Arrows (1974) sold for $324,000 (estimate $150,000-250,000).
Reflected Arrows was the poster image for Smart's 1999 retrospective exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

That mechanism, called programmed cell death (PCD), causes a cell to commit suicide. PCD helps organisms contain infections, nip potential cancers in the bud, and get rid of old or unneeded cells. However, runaway PCD leads to everything from unseemly spots on tomatoes to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.
BTI Scientist and Cornell University Professor of Plant Pathology Gregory Martin studies the interaction of Pseudomonas syringae bacteria with plants to find what determines whether a host succumbs to disease. Martin and graduate student Robert Abramovitch previously found that AvrPtoB, a protein Pseudomonas injects into plants, disables PCD in a variety of susceptible plants and in yeast (a single-celled ancestor of both plants and animals). Abramovitch and Martin compared AvrPtoB's amino acid sequence to known proteins in other microbes and in higher organisms, but found no matches that might hint at how the protein works at the molecular level.
"We had some biochemical clues to what AvrPtoB was doing, but getting the three-dimensional crystal structure was really key," Martin explained. To find that structure, Martin and Abramovitch worked with collaborators at Rockefeller University. The structure of AvrPtoB revealed that the protein looks very much like a ubiquitin ligase, an enzyme plant and animal cells use to attach the small protein ubiquitin to unneeded or defective proteins. Other enzymes then chew up and "recycle" the ubiquitin-tagged proteins.
To confirm that AvrPtoB was a molecular mimic, Martin and Abramovitch altered parts of the protein that correspond to crucial sites on ubiquitin ligase. These changes rendered Pseudomonas harmless to susceptible tomato plants, and made the purified protein inactive. AvrPtoB's function is remarkable not only because its amino acid sequence is so different from other ubiquitin ligases, but also because bacteria don't use ubiquitin to recycle their own proteins.
"An interesting question is where this protein came from," Martin noted. "Did the bacteria steal it from a host and modify it over time, or did it evolve independently? We don't know."
Regardless, the discovery "helps us understand how organisms regulate cell death on a fundamental level," Martin said. AvrPtoB provides a sophisticated tool researchers can use to knock out PCD brought on by a variety of conditions, shedding light on immunity. The protein itself or a derivative might one day be applied to control disease in crops or in people. For now, Martin and Abramovitch are working to find which proteins AvrPtoB acts on, and what role those proteins play in host PCD.
Abramovitch and Martin collaborated with Radmila Janjusevic and C. Erec Stebbins of The Rockefeller University on this work. Funding came from a Burroughs-Welcome Investigators in Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease award, The Rockefeller University, a fellowship from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Triad Foundation, and the USDA National Research Initiative.

The Walc app is a simplified navigational tool that uses closeby landmarks, instead of traditional directions, to help city walkers find their way around. Rather than a robot-like voice telling you to turn at a certain distance, the Walc app identifies landmarks like store names or restaurants instead of vague street names.
Walc navigates in a similar matter to the way humans naturally do, pointing out well-known establishments as reference points when walking around. The app targets city dwellers whose main mode of transportation is walking. The app is the perfect solution for those who find traditional maps and GPS too confusing, and wish to gain more straightforward instructions. Through the app's 'Pocket Mode,' walkers can keep their smartphones in their pockets and listen to instructions through earphones.

CD Review: Hatriot – Dawn of the New Centurion
Massacre Records
All Access Rating: B+
|Hatriot - Dawn of the New Centurion 2014
Before God and country, and members of the National Rifle Association, this steely-eyed "cowboy" once held a rifle above his head and warned that the only way they'd take it was "from my cold, dead hands."
Michael Moore made a big deal about it in "Bowling for Columbine," his scathing indictment of the pro-gun lobby. And now, Steve "Zetro" Souza, the former Exodus front man who now heads up the unstoppable thrash-metal throwback Hatriot, is offering a counterpoint, unearthing audio of Heston's quote to introduce "My Cold Dead Hands," an intense and vicious defense of the Second Amendment and gun rights that opens the band's ferocious sophomore effort Dawn of the New Centurion.
Souza is just as passionate about preserving the basic tenets of thrash, as Dawn of the New Centurion provides the kind of visceral thrills, relentless sonic violence and startling energy that started the wildfire that engulfed metal in the early days of Metallica, Souza's own Legacy – which would morph into Testament – and, not to be outdone, Exodus. A seething cauldron of frenzied thrash, Dawn of the New Centurion is barely harnessed thrash-metal fury, comprised of indestructible song structures, hammering drums, a bewildering variety of raging, high-velocity guitar riffs – courtesy of the mysteriously named Kosta "V" – and Souza's demonic, almost reptilian vocals.
Gnashing his teeth in the midst of dizzying cyclones of sound, Souza loads lethal doses of venom into murderous, vengeful lyrics, his hell-spawned screeds coming through loud and clear in the chugging, surging monolith "Superkillafragadisticactsaresoatrocious," and its earthquake of a successor, the dangerously seismic, hard-charging "Silence in the House of the Lord." Even more brutal and punishing is the rampaging "World Funeral," a Slayer-like blitzkrieg of death and destruction with an explosive solo from Kosta "V" that is pure hell fire.
And that's not the only example of his electrifying speed and brilliant tonality, as Hatriot displays an innate ability to vary tempos, with the blistering "Your Worst Enemy" running smack dab into the heavy wrecking ball that is "The Fear Within," its building drama, stampeding blast beats and melodic guitars erupting into a riot that keeps escalating. The aggression is amplified, and so is the excitement, as Hatriot races toward the heart-stopping closer "Consolation for the Insane," bringing this crazed carnival ride to a blazing end.
At times, the sonic carnage not only threatens to overwhelm any semblance of melody, it burns the evidence, and because of this, Dawn of the New Centurion might be a powerhouse record with classy production that hits like a brick to the face, but its songs are far from memorable. Not quite as raw as its predecessor, Dawn of the New Centurion is, nevertheless, a shot of adrenaline to the heart, scary and bestial, moving with instrumental agility, a fast pace that would kill anybody with a heart condition and slashing sharpness. The family affair that is Hatriot – Souza's sons Cody, on bass, and Nick, on drums, round out the lineup – is not at all dysfunctional, at least not musically speaking.
– Peter Lindblad

Ever Go Buggy For Bass?
by Stan Fagerstrom
Part 2
If you're one of the not uncommon anglers who think trout are the only fish certain to give you your fishing kicks with the long rod---guess again. For that matter, good trout water may evenbe impossible to find in some parts of the country.
If you read my last column you know how I feel about using the fly rod for bass. It can be a real kick in the butt and that goes for both largemouth and smallmouth.
In my previous column I talked about the importance of having the right kind of equipment to go after bass with a fly rod. Let's assume you've got the right gear. Now how and where should you go about using it.
Almost all of my bass bugging has been done in the Pacific Northwest, an area not widely known for its bass fishing. You're usually going to hear a lot more about salmon or steelhead out there in tall tree country. And that in itself is nonsense. There's some darn good action for bass in both Oregon and Washington.
Right now the big Columbia River is kicking out some excellent smallmouth bass fishing. I've fished both Oregon's John Day and Umpqua Rivers numerous times. I'd rate both rivers right up there with other noted smallmouth rivers wherever you find them.
The weeks of spring and early summer offer some of the most interesting time for anglers going after bass with a fly rod in the Pacific Northwest. Largemouth spend lots of time in the shallows from April on through July in that part of the country. And it's in the shallows where bass bugging is at its best.
You'll likely average catching smaller bass if you stick with topwater bugs but even the smaller bass will usually be larger than the planted trout you'll so often find in lakes around the country.
As I've advised, always look for bass around cover. You're usually wasting time fishing open water. Cover can be darn near anything from a single piling to bridge abutments to
lily pads.
Forget about attempting to throw your bass bug 60 feet. It isn't necessary. Accuracy is 10 times more important than distance for fly rod bass fishing. If you can cast your bug 20 to 30 feet, you can catch bass with a fly rod. You can't, of course, go crashing around like a wounded water buffalo when you're that close to where the fish are holding.
All right, let's assume you've got the proper outfit and you've learned how to use it. As you'll soon discover, it's what you do with your bugs once you get them out where they need to be that really counts. It's what makes the difference between catching fish and going home skunked.
Keep one thing uppermost in your mind whenever you're fishing a bug. It's this: A largemouth bass doesn't "always" do anything. Just about the time you think you've finally got the buggers figured, they'll do something to knock all your neat theories into the middle of next week.
Bass sometimes show a color preference. It's wise to carry a selection of shades and change if what you're using isn't getting hits.
On most days, again not always, it's best to make your cast, then let the commotion the bug made when it landed disappear before you even start thinking about moving it. When you do move it, try to make it look the way some big insect would if it had been temporarily stunned by smacking into the water.
You'll find smaller bugs a whole lot easier to handle on the cast than the large, bulky patterns.
Once you've made your bug shudder enough to send out tiny ripples, let it rest again. Don't be in a hurry. Let long seconds go by. Now move it again. Keep up this twitch and pause routine for five or six feet before casting again.
Watch the cover behind and to either side of your bug. If you see any kind of movement, stop whatever you're doing and wait. Now twitch your bug again. Hang onto your rod when you do.
Having said all that let me add this: Don't assume the pause and twitch retrieve will always get results. As I said before, "always" doesn't apply when you're dealing with bass.
I've seen times when those fickle sapsuckers wouldn't look at a bug unless I ripped it along the top in a series of surface disturbing slurps that you'd think would scare hell out of a starving barracuda.
But while the stop and go procedure won't always work, it is always worth a try. Whenever you use it, try to get your bug as close to the cover you're fishing as you can.
One final thought with regard to fishing the shallows. As I've mentioned, bass usually are in, around, under or next to cover. That means working your bug through and across things like logs, lily pads, reeds, grass and brush.
You can make a bug weedless by tying in a strand of monofilament to serve as a weedguard. This works, but even more important is how you make your retrieve.
Let's say you've dropped your bug into a little pocket in a lily pad field. As soon as the bug splats down, drop your rod tip so it points along the line and out to the bug. Now don't raise the rod even if a fish hits.
Manipulate the bug by twitching the line in your left hand. You can make the bug do everything it needs to do by those little line tugs. You can also set the hook by jerking the line with your left hand.
As long as you use the line as I've detailed, the pull on the bug comes directly from in front of its nose. A bug so fished tends to somersault forward when it comes to an obstruction. The hook point comes up. Try to do it by raising your rod tip and the hook point will dip down. It's much more likely to hang up.
I've barely scratched the surface in these last two columns on fly rod bugging for bass. I hope it has been enough to get you interested in giving it a try.
Chances are good many of the bass you catch will average around a pound but they may go a whole lot larger. When was the last time you consistently tangled with trout that size on your fly rod?
You'll have your hands plumb full when you nail a beauty like this with your fly rod.
Handle a bass carefully when you catch it with a fly rod and you won't damage anything except the dignity of these wonderful scrappers. It doesn't hurt to invite one home to dinner now and then but always remember you are protecting your future fishing by practicing catch and release.
As I said in the beginning, the fly rod fisherman who doesn't give bugging a try is missing a super opportunity for some great sport. I've never known an angler who didn't love it. Provided, that is, they stuck with it long enough to really learn something about it.
So will you.

Dear Editor:
This past weekend, The New Providence Green and Gold League held their first ever All Star Game. Games were held in Union, Westfield, and Warren.
At first we (NPGL Board) thought it was an "Old Fashioned" idea and with youth baseball going the way of highly competitive tournaments -- we didn't think there would be too much interest. Teams would rather keep the star pitcher or homerun hitter 'fresh" for a game that counts in the league standings. They may want to save them for a tournament that weekend.
The NPGL has been supporting the idea of giving the game back to the kids. Let them play for the fun of it. Let them go out and just play for the love of baseball.
As I said, we didn't think it would come to fruition. Thankfully, we were wrong. We miscalculated the energy that would carry this "Old Fashioned" idea forward. Coaches jumped at the idea. We received numerous emails and phone calls from coaches and parents excited about the prospect of an All Star Game.
Now we had to execute this idea… Be careful what you wish for!
We quickly realized it would not be an easy task. The NPGL has grown to more than 250 teams reaching over 50 towns, run solely by volunteers. The 2016 season has proven to be our largest ever, providing summer baseball for almost 4,000 young athletes and 1,200 coaches across New Jersey.
This meant seven (7) age groups and two leagues translating into 12 All Star Games. We reached out to some of the teams that we knew had the facilities to assist us, such as Union, Westfield, and Warren. All three hosts played an integral part of making the day special for over 375 athletes and their families.
Each player stood at the first and third base foul lines, as their names were announced they stepped forward and tipped their cap to the cheering crowd. It was truly a moment they will never forget. The smiles could be seen from center field.
"The kids had a blast and all made some new friends from other towns. That was priceless." - Brett Fischer, Westfield White 11U Gold
The day was filled with players, coaches, and parents from opposing towns cheering for each other. There was no arguing over "life and death" umpire calls, there was no jeering from the crowd…it was youth baseball as it should be. It was baseball seen through the eyes of kids. The kids got back baseball. It was a great day.
"Awesome to see the boys from different towns quickly make new friends and teammates and have fun playing the game they love together!" - Coach Greg Richel, Ridge 9u Black
Afterwards, we received many kind words from coaches and parents for having a wonderful event. In truth, we would like to thank everyone for making it a great day.
Our hosts Union, Westfield and Warren ran a professional event. The coaches, parents and players were supportive of all the kids. The NPGL volunteers worked long hours to get the rosters, locations, and schedules in place. This was truly a collaborative effort.
What made this little idea work? Coaches, parents, and players exhibiting the sportsmanship and respect that have been a hallmark of the NPGL since its inception.
I guess the "Old Fashioned" idea wasn't so old fashioned after all. Play ball!
Marc Peritore
NPGL Commissioner

A Simple Task
Sent outward into the Wyrmwall Mountains by the eccentric Matthias Bartlesby to procure a mask, one of Orgoth origin, our pirate crew finds themselves on what seems to be an all-too-easy job. The price they were offered was fair, 1,000 gold crowns total for a no questions asked seek and find for an artifact known only as the Mask of Viksavius.
After some brief encounters with a few lingering spirits that protected the tomb, and an almost-but-not-really encounter with a pit trap the pirates easily snatched the mask and headed outward on their way back to Matthias. Before leaving they recognized the Orgoth tomb they inhabited gave way to a buried underground cove, it appeared to be a ship graveyard. Perhaps they will come back and explore sometime later. For now though, there's coin to be had!

An event will be held in Lancaster to mark World AIDS Day.
Organised by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender/Transexual (LGBT) charity Out In The Bay, the event on Thursday, December 1 will begin with a service at Lancaster Priory Church at 7pm.

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a syndrome caused by the HIV virus.
It is when a person's immune system is too weak to fight off many infections, and develops when the HIV infection is very advanced.
This is the last stage of HIV infection where the body can no longer defend itself and may develop various diseases, infections and if left untreated, death.
There is currently no cure for HIV or AIDS. However, with the right treatment and support, people can live long and healthy lives with HIV.
World AIDS Day is held on December 1 each year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died.
World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day, held for the first time in 1988.
Over 100,000 people are living with HIV in the UK. Globally there are an estimated 34 million people who have the virus. Despite the virus only being identified in 1984, more than 35 million people have died of HIV or AIDS, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in history.
On November 24 it will be exactly 25 years since one of the most famous victims of the HIV virus, rock star Freddie Mercury, died of bronchial pneumonia resulting from AIDS.

Great to be with you this week again, Patrice. I just had a lovely chat with Wendell, and he was having a bit of a moan about the lack of attention he's been getting. I did point out that he had a whole blog post to himself the other day, but I realized that when he says he'd like attention, he really means he wants more carrots. Well, we'll begin our chat, but I may nip over to poor Wendell once or twice while I'm here. I don't want him to be feeling left out.
For now though, I've got my cuppa, and so on to your questions.
1. What's the one thing you feel is the biggest waste of your time during an average week?
The hours I spend on the treadmill.
2. When was the last time you baked a pie?
I baked an apple pie a couple of weeks ago, and actually took it to an American couple staying in Ness. I felt a bit bad taking apple pie to an American ... I mean, it's a bit like taking coals to Newcastle, snow to Alaska or sand to the Sahara.
Of all pies, plain ol' apple pie has to be my favourite.
3. What do you want to spend time doing that you aren't right now?
Two things:
1. Learning the piano.
I don't know if I'll ever get to learn to play the piano, but I would love it so, so much. And so, I've begun spending a tiny amount of time every day on the keyboard. If time were not in such short supply, it would be great to spend more time tinkering on the keys, but for now, a little is better than nothing at all.
2. Spending time on the treadmill.
What? You seriously thought I was being truthful when I answered Question 1? Are you for real?
4. What do you do with old clothes?
Erm ... I wear them!
(That's how my daughters answered this question for me.)
I actually sent a rather large bag of 'old' clothes to charity the other day. I do sometimes throw stuff out ... there are times when clothes reach a stage they are simply unwearable. And if I wouldn't wear them, it's unlikely anyone else would ;)
5. If we were having lunch on the porch today, what would you bring from the potluck styled lunch?
May I bring the aforementioned apple pie?
And now, because I know y'all are desperate to know what our weather has been like, here are a couple of photos Calum and I took down at the machair yesterday.

Hi Friends & Bloggers and Happy Friday/Holiday Weekend!!
Today is Fun Friday, the First of July, and the weekend of the Fourth! Can you believe it's already July?! Anyway, it's fun-day Friday because my boss let me off early today--at noon! Yay! So that's an exciting way to kick off the weekend of fun! Thank you Patty!
My big plans so far for the weekend are Boat day Sunday with a group of about 10 of us taking the pontoon boat to the North Anclote sandbar we usually go to. It's always a good time with friends, music, drinks, food, sunshine, and beach cornhole! Fingers crossed and prayers please that the rain holds out! Isn't there some kind of rain dance we could do?? Open to suggestions!
How festive do you get for the holidays? Are you one of those people who goes all out with holiday colored clothing and the works? Or are you one of those "I didn't even think about it" types? I'm proud to say I'm the festive type. Today I'm sporting blue & white striped shorts and a red shirt. Not completely obvious and out there kinda outfit, but definitely supporting the holiday color-code! :) And I also painted my nails a fun new reddish color from Sally Hansen's Insta-Dry collection:
My boss is on the festive train too, rocking a t-shirt with the American Flag, blue shoes, and a fun red, white & blue ribbon in her hair! Go Patty!
So which are you? Are you Festive or Forgot? And if you're the festive type, what do you do to show your excitement & support?!?!
Sincerely, Brit

Long AAPL
NASDAQ:AAPL Apple Inc.
478 views
AAPL just went through an upgrade and the market is knocking on the door of all time highs. I believe AAPL will see a lot of year end instituational investing taking place. It may run into resistance at 125-130, but it is beginning to hit some LVN's on the volume profile analysis and should give it some upside. Based on the Measured ABCD move I expect AAPL to reach 145.

Mike Glyer
Mike Glyer is both the editor and publisher of the long-running science fiction fan newszine File 770. He has been nominated 51 times for the Hugo Award and won 9 times in two categories:[1][2] File 770 won the Best Fanzine Hugo in 1984, 1985, 1989, 2000, 2001 and 2008, and Glyer won the Best Fan Writer Hugo in 1984, 1986 and 1988. The 1982 World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) committee presented Glyer a special award in 1982 for "Keeping the Fan in Fanzine Publishing."
In 2008 both Mike Glyer and his wife Diana Pavlac Glyer were nominated for Hugo Awards: File 770 for Best Fanzine and The Company They Keep: C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien as Writers in Community for Best Related Book.[1][3]
File 770 takes its name from the legendary party that ran continuously for two days in Room 770 at Nolacon, the 9th World Science Fiction Convention in 1951, that upstaged that convention and entered fannish lore as a result. File 770 is a paper fanzine that appears several times a year and is also available on-line in electronic form;[4] it also has a regular on-line presence on the fannish side of the blogosphere with the latest in news from around fandom.[5] Glyer started the fanzine in 1978 to report on clubs, conventions, fannish projects, fans, fanzines, awards, and to publish controversial articles like "Is Your Club Dead Yet?"
Glyer chaired the 1996 Worldcon, L.A.con III, the 54th World Science Fiction Convention, held in Anaheim, CA. He previously co-chaired the science fiction convention Westercon 31, held in Los Angeles, CA in 1978, that was inspired by its Baskin-Robbins-esque number to hold the first "Ice Cream Social" at a regional science fiction convention; a similar ice cream social had been held in 1969 at a Worldcon, St. Louiscon, the 27th World Science Fiction Convention in St. Louis, MO.
His one professional fiction sale appeared in the book Alternate Worldcons, edited by Mike Resnick. That short story, "The Men Who Corflued Mohammed," is a fannish homage to Alfred Bester's "The Men Who Murdered Mohammed."
Glyer has been active in LASFS, the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society since 1970, frequently serving as club secretary. LASFS selected Mike Glyer as the 2011 recipient of their Forry Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Field of Science Fiction. The award, named for Forrest J Ackerman, long-time fan, literary agent, and well known in science fiction fandom as "Mr. LASFS," has been presented annually since 1966. Previous winners include such eminent figures as Isaac Asimov, Leigh Brackett, Ray Bradbury, and Andre Norton. Mike was made a fan guest of honor for the first time at the 1981 DeepSouthCon in Atlanta, partly because the con committee thought his LASFS minutes were so amusing that they had to be made up. Glyer protested that funny things were happening all round him and he just wrote them down – rather like Vincent van Gogh claiming "I just paint what I see."

Kunal Khemu: the newest dialogue writer in town
Go Goa Gone's biggest surprise isn't a slow-moving zombie, it's Kunal Khemu's quick-fire dialoguebrunch Updated: May 18, 2013 18:35 IST
Kunal Khemu, he of the bulging biceps, disarming smile and committed relationship, is the man behind the viciously hilarious dialogues in his new movie Go Goa Gone. Even Saif Ali Khan's trademark line, I keeeel dead people, is Khemu's genius. Who knew he had it in him? Not us. But when Brunch met him one morning, and spent the next half hour chatting, laughing and privately swooning, we now believe there's more to the hunk too.How did we not know you're a funny guy? You seem so serious!
After Kalyug (2005) and Traffic Signal (2007), everyone thought I only wanted to do serious movies. I had to break away from that image. After Dhol (2007) and Golmaal 3 (2010), people assumed I was the new funny guy in Bollywood. With Go Goa Gone, I think I have strengthened that belief. But honestly, people, and surprisingly critics, liked my performance.
You co-wrote the lines with Sita Menon. How did that happen?
That is what happens when your directors don't know Hindi! But seriously, it was by pure accident. Raj and DK [directors] realised their jokes were too firang. So I told them I'd write a couple of scenes and dialogues. I spent two hours every day for 15 days to come up with lines for every character. I'd think of dialogues the whole time, while eating, walking and even in my sleep. It is really hard to make people laugh. It is easier to scare them or make them cry. When Raj-DK finally read my stuff, they were rolling on the floor. They loved it so much that I became their full-time Hindi dialogue writer! They'd write the scene and email it to me so I could add my desi quirks. We decided we wouldn't announce my input because we didn't want to divert attention from the movie.
What did you keep in mind while writing the lines?
The only thing I had in mind was to be true to the lingo of the new generation. These guys are urban snobs who talk in a particular way – ROFL, WTF! Obviously they use cuss words like you and I do. We didn't set out to have profanity in the movie, but when you put the characters in a situation, it was natural for them to talk in that way. I mean, if you're scared of out your wits, your first reaction is to say f**k or s**t. That's what the characters said. But we've been told that despite the cuss words, it doesn't sound vulgar. I like humour that is real. I wanted the situation to make you laugh!
What makes India laugh?
I don't know. The Indian audience is very diverse. No one formula works for them. Some like slapstick stuff, some like satirical movies, others like subtle humour. We knew Go Goa Gone would click with the urban audiences. You know that one obnoxious friend who talks like Hardik. But you might also know a middle-class boy from Bihar who may not relate to GGG's humour. There's a huge divide. Sometimes you don't know what's going to work.
What makes your girlfriend, Soha Ali Khan laugh?
I do! Our sense of humour is kind of similar, sharp and witty with an undertone of self-deprecation. Even in Go Goa Gone, the idea of putting Soha in the movie was mine. And she was game even after I told her that I would have to call her, saali kutti, in that scene. We just laughed and she said yes.

After the initial Medical Marihuana Facility Operating Permits are issued, the City Clerk's Office expects future applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis, as with other business licenses (subject to restrictions established in the Code of Ordinances).

- At Home: "Holy shit, honey - That's a Fuckton of groceries. Are we feeding the entire neighborhood?"
- At the Gym: "I have a Fuckton of work to get done today, and I'd rather be running."
- At Work: "Who ordered the Fuckton of Cream Cheese? Are we selling wholesale to the fatties now?"
Urban Dictionary defines Fuckton as:
1: n. A very large amount. 2: Very heavy unit of measure. 3: A futon sofa that is used for sexual purposes. 3: More than a shitload 4: A measurement used to describe theoretical objects. Equal to exactly 2 Shitloads + 12 Assload.
I'm not sure how many pounds are in a Shitload or Assload, but I'm guessing a lot. That bit with the futon both creeps me out and reminds me of when I first moved out on my own and futons were cool. (It was the 90's - don't ask.)
Then there's the Metric Fuckton, or Fuck ton, Fuck-tonne, Fuck tonne, or Fuck-ton:
Generally used to imply superlative quantity with the Metric standard included to emphasize this point. The inclusion of the term is, however, fundamentally a misuse of that standard, as the Imperial Fuckton (2000 Imperial Fuckpounds) denotes a slightly greater measure of fuckweight within Earth's gravitational pull than does the Metric Fuckton (1000 Metric Fuckilograms)
I'm not sure of the conversion rate between Kilograms and Fuckilograms, and I really don't think it matters. When I read that sentence, I visualize a gentleman with a British accent, a top hat and a cup of tea - he's reading it Masterpiece Theatre-style - all class and elegance.
Ahhh - class and elegance- it's what Urban Dictionary is all about. It's like Wikipedia without the verification or sense of responsibility. I'm surprised at how much time I wasted there.
But I digress - I've spent enough time telling you about it. I've got to go back and see if I can find a definition for Vagina Cake Balls.
*Don't go looking for it - it's unpublished. That's the rigorous editing and revision process I have for the high-quality posting that goes on around here, people.

I started with blues and peach color cardstock and applied the

paper punched the corners. Next, I applied layers behind the picture and created a floral cluster with a lace and pearl bow.
I added the Prima sugar glitter in the center of the white flowers and dot areas.
Finally I added handwritten journal line and heart/word sticker from the kit.
There are so many projects to made from this kit and they will be coming up soon.
