PRETORIA, South Africa – Four years and four days later, the unpleasant memories come flooding back for a half-dozen U.S. players.
Landon Donovan, Carlos Bocanegra, DaMarcus Beasley, Steve Cherundolo, Clint Dempsey and Oguchi Onyewu were all on the field on that dismal German afternoon of June 22, 2006, when Ghana knocked the U.S. out of the last World Cup with a 2-1 decision.
Today in Rustenburg, the teams square off again, this time in the knockout stage – it's win or go home – with a place in the quarterfinals on the line. First, however, the ghosts of 2006 have to be banished.
The ill-tempered game in Nuremburg was decided in 10 frantic minutes at the end of the first half.

Ghana had taken the lead midway through the half. The U.S. lost captain and playmaker Claudio Reyna to injury five minutes before the half ended but still managed to tie the score on Dempsey's goal off a Beasley cross three minutes later.
Two minutes into injury time at the end of the half, Onyewu and Ghana forward Razak Pimpong clashed over the ball, German referee Markus Merk ruled that Onyewu had committed a foul and Ghana scored on the resulting penalty kick.
The penalty is still a sore point with the U.S.
"That was not a good day, for me or for the team," Donovan said. "What I remember most, personally, is my tentativeness and the immediate feeling afterwards of the finality of it and how disappointing that was."
Michael Essien was a towering figure on Ghana's 2006 team but is missing this World Cup because of injury. Even so, Donovan said the Black Stars present a formidable challenge.
"I've been impressed with them," he said. "I thought they would struggle a little bit without Essien, but I think they've looked very good and they're going to be very difficult to play against. Like a lot of African teams, they're fairly unpredictable sometimes, so that could be a plus or a minus."
With the Ivory Coast having been eliminated Friday, Ghana is Africa's last standard-bearer in the tournament, something that is likely to swing neutral fans in the Black Stars' direction.
"My guess is they'll have quite a bit of support," Donovan said. "It's hard to know what the game will look like from that standpoint, but that's beyond our control. I think the South African people have really taken to us, and seeing their support has been fantastic. I expect the same on Saturday."
According to goalkeeper Tim Howard, the pressure is off the U.S. players because they have accomplished their initial goal of getting out of the first round. The knockout stage of the competition opens other possibilities.
"It's easier to play the Ghana game," he said. "We can draw the game, we can take it into extra time, we can go to penalties. There are so many formulas that can happen, whereas we knew (in the must-win Algeria match) there was only one result that could get us through. That's a lot more pressure."
Bob Bradley, the U.S. coach, described Ghana as "a talented team, an athletic team, mobile. We know some of their guys pretty well. We've watched them a lot."
Ghana has scored only two goals in its first three matches, both of them on penalty kicks by Asamoah Gyan, a teammate of U.S. defender Bocanegra at Rennes in France.
Otherwise, the Blacks Stars' forwards have so far failed to produce, although, as defender John Pantsil said, "We are going to speak to our strikers so that they can be more effective."
Bradley could start Onyewu again on defense after resting him against Algeria. The motivation will be there for the center back after the penalty kick in 2006.
Apart from that, the U.S. is looking ahead, possibly to a quarterfinal meeting with either Uruguay or South Korea.
"I've already put that (2006) behind me," Donovan said. "This is a chance to do something very special."

Chronic (Refractory) Migraine
Chronic migraine is diagnosed if you have migraine on 15 or more days a month over a period of at least six months.
As time passes, some people with migraine may begin to experience additional or almost daily headache. As the frequency increases, the headache pain and other symptoms associated with migraine become milder, but may also become less responsive to treatment.
People will usually experience more typical 'breakthrough' migraine attacks on top of the new milder 'background' headache. Depression and irregular sleeping are other effects of chronic migraine.

Foxhall's adopted son can hit the high notes
If Eamon Ward wanted to prove to the people of Glenswilly that he's one of them, he went the right way about it.
The Clontibret, Co Monaghan, native first appeared for the Foxhall club in their momentous 2011 season - when they lifted their first ever RTE Raidió na Gaeltachta SFC title following a 1-8 to 0-9 win over St Michael's.
That night, bonfires led the cavalcade back to the clubhouse, which was bursting with well-wishers from the local community.
Ward, a vet at Donegal Animal Hospital in Letterkenny, took to the stage and sang 'The Hills of Glenswilly.'
The song went down a treat and there's been a few renditions since the club won a second county title last month and progressed on an enchanting journey to the AIB Ulster Club Championship final, where Ballinderry Shamrocks lie in wait this Sunday at Healy Park.
"It's something I'd been working on and I picked up the words here and there," Ward jokes of his first time on the stage.
Ward was initially coaxed into the Glenswilly set-up when he moved to the north-west in late 2010.
His first contact with Glenswilly was through Eileen Roarty, his boss's wife, and Ward soon found himself sitting down with John McGinley, who was Glenswilly manager at the time.
"I had to leave Clontibret," Ward explains. "The job is difficult in that you sort of have to be based around and it wouldn't suit to travel for training and matches.
"There are a lot of unsociable hours.
"I met a lot of the Glenswilly people through the veterinary and farming side of things.
"I always got a good welcome in the homes around Glenswilly and the people have been very good to me here but I'd call myself a Glenswilly man now."
Ward has helped stiffen up the Glenswilly backline. For a team known for its physical presence, it's unusual in the fact most of Gary McDaid's bigger players fill the more advanced roles.
Ward and Glenswilly were tested in the air continually by Roslea Shamrocks, in the Ulster semi-final last Sunday week.
In Seamus and Sean Quigley in particular, the Fermanagh champions continually went route one but Glenswilly won out 3-9 to 2-8.
"The high balls in from Roslea were relentless," Ward says of Healy Park.
"The Quigleys are two fine footballers. They were very impressive during their own club championship and into Ulster. We kept them well enough under control and it was great to keep them to just two points from play."
Glenswilly have plenty of support of their own but will also be cheered on by an enclave of Monaghan.
"They'll be fully behind supporting us and a few of them are hoping to get up for the match," Ward says of his local branch. Omagh isn't too far away from Monaghan so hopefully there'll be a wee crowd of them for it."
And is all goes well, Ward could be back on stage on Sunday night.

To start your beehive, you need to know where to buy bees.
Backyard beekeeping is a fun hobby with great rewards like honey and beeswax. With all the right beekeeping supplies, you'll be well on your way to creating the apiary of your dreams. One of the last things you'll need? Bees! If you're new to beekeeping, you may not know where to buy bees. Blain's Farm & Fleet is here to help.
What to Know Before You Buy Bees
There are plenty of options when it comes to buying bees. Wherever you choose to buy bees from, it's important that you order them early. You'll want to order them in the winter so you have a colony lined up for April or May, when you can start with a new hive.
You need to know about the members of your bee colony. When you buy bees, there should be worker bees, drones and a queen bee. The queen is typically marked so you can tell her apart from the workers and drones.
Some beekeepers use wild bees for their beehives. There are pros and cons to using wild bees. While a swarm of wild bees is free, they also have weak genetics and carry bee diseases. On the other hand, they can also be used to grow your hive and they're free. We recommend purchasing bees from a trusted source when you're starting your hive.
Your Local Blain's Farm & Fleet*
Not only can you buy all your beekeeping supplies but you can also buy bees at select Blain's Farm & Fleet. Each package of bees contains approximately 10,000 bees and one marked queen bee. There will be instructions provided. To order live bees, you can call 1-800-210-2370 or choose one of our select locations for pickup. Stores that will have bees available for order and pickup are:
- Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin
- Janesville, Wisconsin
- La Crosse, Wisconsin
- Woodstock, Illinois
- Morton, Illinois
- Dubuque, Iowa
*Note: Bees are sold seasonally at select Blain's Farm & Fleet stores. Check back next year for updated dates and locations for bee pickup.
Bees can be ordered from Saturday, January 21 through Tuesday, February 28, 2017 and will be available for pickup on Saturday, April 29, 2017. In addition to live bees, you can also buy beehives, beekeeping clothing, beekeeping books and more. To learn more about starting a hive of your own, visit our Beekeeping blog.

Reed Construction Data has announced that the dollar value of construction starts in June, excluding residential activity, surged 34% versus May. The figures are in "current" dollars, meaning they are not adjusted for inflation.
The individual month of June, at $32.0 billion, was one of the strongest in Reed's entire database. To find a similarly high volume, one has to look back at June 2008, just before the Great Recession really took hold.
The one-third increase was an outsized gain, even after taking into account seasonality. Reed's long-term average May-to-June increase has been 4.5%. By comparison, May's month-to-month percentage change was +6.2% and April's -4.5%.
June starts this year compared with June of last year were +14.4%. The year-to-date level of total nonresidential construction starts, at $138 billion, was +2.4% when compared with the same January to June period of 2013.
Nonresidential construction accounts for a considerably larger share than of the total than residential work. The former's proportion of total put-in-place construction in the Census Bureau's May report was 62% versus the latter's 38%.
Reed's construction starts are leading indicators for the Census Bureau's capital investment or put-in-place series.
After a shockingly harsh winter, during which GDP contracted, the U.S. economy is back on an expansionary path with stock market indices near record highs and the unemployment rate close to the nation's 20-year average of 6.0%. Firms in the private sector are feeling more pressure to build new facilities.
The month-to-month leaders among major nonresidential construction categories were commercial +39%, and heavy engineering +34.7%. Institutional work was also up +3.6%, but to a much lesser degree. Industrial starts recorded a large percentage gain, but it came on top of a smaller dollar volume than the other three.
Commercial starts this June were even more impressive, +48.5%, when compared with June of last year. Engineering starts this June versus the same month last year were +13.7%. Institutional starts were -8.1%.
Year to date, heavy engineering (+13%) is out front, followed by institutional (+5.9%). Commercial starts (-14.5%) are still down from last year. Industrial work is 13.5%.
In commercial construction's two largest sub-categories, retail starts were +8.3% month to month, but -8.1% year to date, while private office building starts were +81.6% month to month and +29.6 year to date.
In the institutional category of work, school and college starts were +7.5% month to month and +9.7% year over year. Hospital/clinic starts moved in the opposite direction, -43.2% month to month and -12.3% year to date.
With the exception of dam/marine work, all the sub-categories of heavy engineering construction were ahead both month to month and year to date, with water and sewage work especially strong versus May, +40.2.
Institutional and heavy engineering work have especially close ties to government finances. Washington's deficit is diminishing, although the debt load remains high. At the state and local levels, the ongoing improvement in the overall economy is providing budgetary payoffs.
The nonresidential construction sector will derive benefits from taxes that are increasing naturally. Stronger employment and higher incomes lift income tax revenues; advances in consumer spending yield more sales taxes; and rising home prices translate into improved property taxes.
The value of construction starts each month is summarized from Reed's database of all active construction projects in the U.S. Missing project values are estimated with the help of RSMeans' building cost models.

I used to be a Lutheran, and one Lutheran doctrine that always fascinated me was that Christians are both sinners and saints simultaneously. According to Kathryn Kleinhans of Living Lutheran, the saint part isn't because of the good we do, but because of God's grace. She writes, "We are called saints not because we change into something different but because our relationship with God changes as a result of God's grace." This always cheered me up whenever I would beat myself up over my imperfections.
Of course it wasn't until after I became an atheist that I realized how constantly reminding myself that I was a wretched sinner who didn't deserve God's love really damaged me. As Hemant Mehta once said in a video, "No one should repent for just being human." However I still believe in this non-dichotomous way of viewing humankind. We think there are only two kinds of people in the world—good people and bad people, smart people and ignorant people—but the truth is people are way too complex to fit into just two boxes. In my few short years in the atheist community, I've seen really smart people believe in bullshit ideas, and I've seen good people act like jerks. So even from a secular point of view, we're both saints and sinners simultaneously. Or as my friend Shiri Eisner wrote in her book Bi: Notes for a Bisexual Revolution, "We are all oppressors and we are all oppressed—and we must all deal both with our oppression and our privileges" (p. 88).
Anyone involved with social justice activism can tell you this is a hard pill to swallow. I used to think that because I'm bisexual and genderqueer, being an ally to other groups would come naturally to me. However, when you live in a society that says, "All people are equal, but some are more equal than others," you're going to internalize a lot of racist, sexist, homophobic, biphobic, transphobic, acephobic, ableist, and classist messages, and eventually those messages will slip out of your mouth. You probably didn't mean any harm, but intentions don't negate the fact you fucked up. You have to own up to it, say you're sorry, and learn from your mistake.
I got a rude reminder of this three weeks ago. I got called out for going into two feminist groups on Facebook wanting to be coddled, and then writing an angry blog post when people said they didn't want my tears. Not only that, but I let MRAs spread their rape apologist fuckery in the comment section while I ignored it. Instead of owning up to all this, though, I got defensive and blocked everyone who was calling me out. I even played the "Don't call me out because I was severely bullied as a child and now I have anxiety" card. That was a moment when the mask fell off my face and I was exposed. I panicked and decided to take a three-week break from my Bi Any Means podcast and blog while I processed everything.
Now I've been known to be overly dramatic, so maybe I made a bigger deal out if it than it is. After all, nobody blogged about it (The Amazing Atheist was the fuckboy of the atheist blogosophere at the time), and no one that I know of unfriended me from Facebook. But the incident made me rethink why I do all this social justice stuff. Do I really care about changing the world, or do I just want the attention? Is this simply another lesson in a life-long process of unlearning oppressive behavior, or am I really just a monster like Dan Lindford?
It's easy to call out other people's oppressive behavior, but it's hard to call out your own. Fortunately, Kai Cheng Thom's article "9 Ways to be Accountable When You've Been Abusive" helped me sort things out. It taught me to own up to my mistakes, not make any excuses, and not beat myself up for it. I tend to be either extremely defensive or extremely guilty, and neither one helps. Another article that's really helped me out was Jennifer Loubriel's "4 Ways White People Can Process Their Emotions without Bringing the White Tears." And wouldn't you know it, number 3 is "Excuse yourself if you're having strong emotions." Well hell, if I had done that, none of this shit would have happened! I guess sometimes you have to really fuck up in order to learn.
In fact, as A.C. Grayling wrote in The God Argument, "It is through failure and criticism that one has one's best chance of learning the best lessons" (p. 168). I don't believe in the whole "Everything happens for a reason" crap, but maybe it's a good thing I fucked up. How else would I have learned how to be a better activist? I know it's clichéd, but it's true; you learn from your mistakes.
And I'm going to make more mistakes in the future. In fact, that's why I no longer call myself an ally for other marginalized groups; instead, I say I'm practicing allyship. As the phrase suggests, you don't just wake up one day the perfect ally because unlearning oppressive behavior is a life-long process with no magic formulas. The growing pains hurt, but eventually you learn to be a better person.
One of the best ways to practice allyship is to listen instead of talk. That doesn't mean you can't have an opinion, but that you need to remember that your opinion might be wrong. I'm not a biologist, so whenever the topic of evolution comes up in online arguments, I share articles from biologists who can explain evolution better than I can. Likewise, I'm not black, so whenever the topics of racism and #BlackLivesMatter comes up in online arguments, it's best for me to share articles from black people telling their stories.
I used to think that there are only two kinds of people in the world: those who got their shit together and assholes. The truth is everyone is still learning how to be better people, and that includes me.

Salmon is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which keep the digestive system properly tuned. Sage is rich in antioxidants and stimulates digestion. Serves 4.
• 1 large salmon fillet (1 1/2 pounds)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 handful fresh sage leaves or 1/4 cup dried leaves
• 1/4 cup dry white vermouth, or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• Sorrel
1. Rinse the salmon, cut it into serving-sized pieces, and set aside. Fill a large skillet with enough water to cover the salmon. Add the salt and sage to the water, and boil for 5 minutes. Add the vermouth or lemon juice, stir, then lay the salmon flat in the pan. If the water doesn't slightly cover the salmon, add a little water.
2. Bring the liquid to a near boil, then simmer for 10 minutes. To assure that the dish is ready to eat, press on the top of the salmon. If it resists pressure slightly, it's done.
3. Serve on a bed of sorrel.

Ooh MoH this is fab, I really like your frame and the bubble wrap stamping xxReplyDelete
Wow, that's terrific, I love the face.ReplyDelete
In the end, after adding back the line for the face, the effect of the bubble wrap is good, it creates an area of "hair" and one of shadow. Very good page!ReplyDelete
This totally blows my mind, Mo! How you used the corrugated cardboard is especially genius! You never cease to amaze me, my friend!ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comment on my calendar post MoH, I enjoy the colour removal technique too.ReplyDelete
I appreciate your visit and do hope you are feeling much better ((hugs))
Mo, this is stunning. First, I simply ADORE what you did with the face, even if it wasn't what you expected. I've used cling film to color my background before, but never over the focal image. I give you two big thumbs up for trying, which I believe is what these challenges are all about, anyway.ReplyDelete
Your choice of colors for the corrugated cardboard was unexpectedly beautiful. They made an excellent frame, especially the way you positioned them. Great job.
This bubble wrap technique is amazing Mo! Lovely creation!ReplyDelete
Suchi xx
Wow, some great ideas on this, Mo! Sorry I'm so late in commenting, but there don't seem to be enough hours in the day lately! Isn't corrugated card wonderful? I love how you used it for the frame. Also love what you did with the bubble wrap. I really like also that you used your own artwork and altered it digitally. There's so much to enjoy here. Darcy has some great ideas for challenges and you really took off with these.ReplyDelete
Love the way you made that frame! So clever to use your own art work! I'm finding it a real challenge!!! ChrisxReplyDelete
Wow! Absolutely love this! Great techniques! xxxReplyDelete
Fab technique, very creative indeed! Gorgeous work xxReplyDelete
I love your hand-drawn face, and I think the disappearance and re-drawing has added to its mystery and beauty. Loving that corrugated frame!ReplyDelete
Alison xx
i actually love the area on the face that was removed, it seriously looks cool.. it looks deliberate, bet you couldn't replicate it if you wanted to. A very happy accident, which added to the page brilliantly.ReplyDelete
I love your face, and the distortions on there are like the ravages of time! She has a mysterious quality and I love it! XxReplyDelete
Wow wow really loving your main feature face, I love the fact that it accidentally got hidden, it looks so cool. The corrugated edging looks awesome. Stunning. Happy Art :-) Kezzy xxxReplyDelete

It has been reported countless times, and observed by any marketer in charge of social – Organic reach is dead. Most all social platforms have limited reach, forcing marketers to spend money on paid media. Aside from the random viral moment, it's impossible for brands to reach a great deal of the audience they spent valuable time and money building.
This hasn't stopped brands from trying. But the truth is, even if social platforms didn't limit reach, it wouldn't matter. Consumers simply don't have a good reason to engage with your brand on social.
So, with limited reach, and the inability to supply a reason for consumers to engage with your content, what is a brand to do?
It's obvious to us… give them a reason!
By creating a currency exchange between social media and rewards, brands create a mutually beneficial relationship whereby consumers are given a reason to engage with their content.
By enabling consumers to use social media as a frictionless remote control for marketing conversion and rewards brands can drive member acquisition, engagement, spend, and customer lifetime value.
Consumers also benefit because… rewards!
Chirpify customer Taylormade uses Chirpify to give consumers a reason to engage with their content. Posts that are Chirpify activated perform 4x better than without.
In fact, a recent Chirpify enabled Tweet was their most engaged organic tweet ever.

It's been a few months since I posted to this blog, but rest assured, I've been busy writing the whole time–just not on the blog! I've gone back to writing in a physical journal by hand rather than writing in my e-journal (PenZu) mostly which means that I'm just not on the computer as often throughout the days as I am when I write online. I know….I know…excuses only satisfy the person who makes them!
Anyway, since the last time I posted here, I've also helped edit a manuscript for a previous student. I am so proud of her! Back when she was my student, she participated in NaNo for extra credit. She went so far as to publish her novel! Since then, she's written two sequels–publishing one and the 2nd is the one she's currently editing in preparation for publication very soon. She is such an inspiration to me.
Here I'm the teacher. I'm the one who encouraged her to participate in NaNoWriMo. I've participated in NaNo almost every year since 2004. I've won most years, but lost a few years (mostly when I had severe health issues and was in the hospital). And here's this young woman who has not only participated in NaNo the past several years and won, but she's also published two of three novels in a series (with the 3rd coming very soon)! And I'm just sitting on my manuscript, twiddling my thumbs. Pathetic.
So I'm MAKING the time over the next few weeks to edit my manuscript and get it out for the masses. It doesn't matter if anyone buys and/or reads it. What matters is that I follow my heart and finish what I started! I have a story to in me and it must be told.

Most probably you will not need this "money-back guarantee."
For best results which are commonly observed in four to six months, it is recommended to buy four bottles of Herpeset so you get two bottles FREE as per current promotional offer. One bottle is for one month of treatment. So at the price of 4 months you get 6 months supply and also avoid any missed dosages on account of reorder shipping delays which is very crucial for this remedy to be fully effective.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of a thousand corporate suits all yelling at each other about boring patent litigations. Ordinarily we wouldn't care whether Apple hates Motorola or Samsung hates LG, but when a German court in Mannheim rules against Microsoft and orders them to stop selling the Xbox 360 and Windows 7, we can't help but pay attention.
That's pretty much what's happened. In Germany, Microsoft is no longer allowed to sell the Xbox 360 and Windows 7 OS thanks to a court ruling in Motorola's favour. According to the ruling, Microsoft has infringed upon a patent that deals with video compression; that patent belongs to Motorola. While Microsoft and other companies are arguing that Motorola has been over-charging for this patent, Motorola is demanding $4 billion in annual royalties.
The good news is that a Seattle-based court has granted Microsoft a preliminary injunction, which essentially prevents Motorola from following through with the German court's ruling. For now, Xbox 360 consoles and copies of Windows 7 will remain on German store shelves. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out, especially because Microsoft isn't the only company that uses Motorola's video compression patent.

Desobediencia Civil "No hay libertad sin desobediencia" cd 2001
Most of the time, I focus on posting rare or obscure on Terminal Sound Nuisance. There are two reasons for this. First, I feel that the sharing of music and knowledge is what punk is all about. Although I alway try to give my own critical view of a band, a genre or a scene, I feel that it is our collective role to ensure that punk history doesn't get lost and that it is important to promote a sort of punk sensibility (for lack of a better term) through an accessible analysis of the punk-listening experience. Second, I am an opinionated bastard with an ego problem who likes to boast. But now is not the time for nerdy posturing, because today's post will be about one of the most crucial Latino anarchopunk bands ever: Desobediencia Civil.
In my (definitely not) humble opinion, DC is an unjustly underrated band that, had they not been from Mexico, would have its name on thousands of punk jackets across the world. I would even argue that they were easily one of the very best 90's anarcho bands worldwide. DC formed in Mexico City and started playing in 1993. From what I gathered, the people involved were all originally part of animal liberation and political collectives and felt the need to do something against the "chaos punk" apathy that prevailed then in the city. DC's discography is far from being massive as they only released one Ep and one album as well as a couple of live demos. I would venture that the band was more interested in getting their message across and touring than in recording twice a year and having coloured vinyls out. Although they weren't the first anarchist punk band in Mexico or indeed in Latin America, they may have been the first to call themselves anarchopunks (possibly along with Coprofilia, Empirismo and Regeneracion) and to merge the canonical anarchopunk sound and aesthetics with the aggression and the rabia of classical Mexican hardcore punk, thus creating a proper Mexican anarchopunk sound in the process. DC's first Ep, "Cuanto tiempo mas", though it already incorporated visual elements from the anarchopunk, still sounded very much like a traditional raw Mexican hardcore punk records and was closer to Massacre 68, MELI or Xenofobia (and my faithful readers already know that I love my Mexicore to death) than Antisect, Doom or Conflict. It is only with their Lp, "No hay libertad sin desobediencia" that the band managed to merge both worlds, seamlessly, effortlessly and with an honesty, a genuine anger that cannot be faked and that I wish I heard more often.
On this recording, DC kept the snotty, desperate anger and chaotic edge of late 80's Mexican hardcore but infused it with the classic UK anarchopunk sound of Antisect, Legion of Parasites or Potential Threat (especially with the addition of the female vocalist), with early Doom (whom they cover), Early Hiatus and early Extreme Noise Terror and finally, I would argue, with a bit of Swedish hardcore like Crude SS or No Security. The dual vocals work to perfection, the bloke having that raspy, raucous, threatening and just so bloody pissed off voice, while the girl shouts in a clearer, warmer tone, not unlike Potential Threat, Homomilitia or Antiproduct. The drumming is reminiscent of Stick (from Doom)'s early bands (Doom or more precisely Excrement of War come to mind): it beats the D but you still get some Disorder/Chaos UK changes and a couple of blast beats. The guitar sound is thick and crunchy, just what you need to get the crust in "crust-punk". The music is just incredibly energetic, catchy, angry AND catchy, as a lot of the chorus will stay with you. There is enough variety in terms of tunes and tempo hooks to make this album a fantastic listen from beginning to end and a real anarchopunk classic.
To say that DC was a serious band would be an understatement and in that respect they really remind me of the best of the US anarcho scene of that decade, bands like Aus-Rotten, Antiproduct, Mankind? but they remind me more especially of Resist And Exist, a band that was outspokenly revolutionary like DC. Bands like Disaffect, Sanctus Iuda, Homomilitia or Paragraf 119 could also be relevant comparisons. Lyrically, you will find a whole lot of issues covered by the band, ranging from feminism, animal rights, the wage-slave system, class antagonism, social conformity, the corrupt political system to imperialism or being anarkopunks.
The influence of DC on the political punk scene both in Mexico and in the rest of Latin America cannot be underestimated and I see them in the same light as 90's bands like Abuso Sonoro or Execradores in Brazil or Apatia-No in Venezuela, that had relevant anarchist politics and merged the anarchopunk spirit with that South-American urgency and anger. DC split up quite soon after the release of that album, in 2002, because some of the members migrated to the U$ for economic reasons but I read that they reformed briefly in 2008 in order to play a couple of benefit shows in the States. I suppose you could say Mexican bands like Fallas del Sistema or Crimenes de Guerra are (or were?) the real legacy of DC in the 00's. "No hay libertad sin desobediencia" was released on the ever reliable Cryptas Records and I'm pretty sure it can still be found on decent distros everywhere.

j'ai une petite question sur un titre du groupe grec posté recemment: le morceau 9, c'est une reprise ou pas?? le solo l'est assurement mais le probleme c'est que j'arrive pas a retrouver l'original... tu as la reponse ou meme une idee??
Si tu aimes Disaffect, tu aimeras Desobediencia Civil. Ils sont au moins aussi bons.ReplyDelete
Concernant Rigma, j'avoue que si c'est une reprise, je ne la connais pas et ce n'est pas précisé dans le livret. Mais Gulag avait repris les Pistols en changeant les paroles, donc ce ne serait pas une première en punk hellénique!
voui ya aussi quelques groupes des pays de l'est (hongrois, polonais, yougoslave?) qui ont fait pareil.ReplyDelete

Skeptical Teens' Political Apathy Vexes Teachers
Charlotte, N.C.
Sherrill Curtis is in the middle of his seventh presidential election.
He talks about political strategy, spouts off about ideology, lectures on turnout. But he is most familiar with an Election Day outcome that doesn't get reported in the next day's news: the interest level among the high school students he teaches--most of whom are too young to vote.
Frustration pours out as Mr. Curtis, the chairman of the social studies department at tony Providence High School outside Charlotte, sums up the political interest among the public school's 2,500 students.
"Youngsters today are just not that interested in the elections," he said between classes. "There's a feeling that the whole political process is incidental--just another 'thing' in the overall culture.
"They've come of age in the post-Watergate, post-Cold War era of political cynicism, scandals, and sound bites," he said. "And they're skeptical, always asking 'What's the real scoop?'--assuming they're not getting the truth in the first place."
Mr. Curtis' views echo those of many high school teachers, who, even with carefully tailored curricula and a multitude of national programs designed to fuse their students' young lives with politics, find it hard to overcome the political apathy of many of today's teenagers.
With a metro-area population of 1.75 million, Charlotte is the largest city between Washington and Atlanta. The banking industry in Charlotte is in the leagues of New York and Washington, and the breakneck pace of growth in the city and its suburban rings is evident by omnipresent construction workers and bulldozers.
In Charlotte, and all through the state, the political season is in full bloom. High-profile races for the U.S. Senate, Congress, governor, and attorney general share the spotlight with President Clinton and Bob Dole.
But despite the campaigning that began in the spring--and youth-engagement efforts ranging from MTV's star-studded "Choose or Lose" to the school-based program Kids Voting--teenagers here find plenty of reasons to be indifferent.
In the library at West Mecklenburg High School, senior Tayvia Spratt, 17, gives a puzzled look and thinks a second before waxing on the 1996 election.
"It doesn't seem right," she deadpanned, "that behind the White House--a phat house--there is a ghetto full of problems."
The inner city problems of Washington also play out in various pockets of Charlotte--and offer little reason for faith in politicians that ignore them, she explained.
"We have crime, homeless people, and girls having babies. But do the politicians do anything about it? No. They just talk and talk and promote themselves."
Ms. Spratt, who calls herself a moderate, said she would take notice if politicians "did something real" to address the issues she sees as most dire. But "they don't say stuff that really matters," she said.
Lack of Charisma
She and other students here describe a field of "been there" candidates running in major races who have failed to capture the youth constituency.
In contrast to his 1992 race, when he donned star shades, played the saxophone, and schmoozed with rock 'n' roll stars, Mr. Clinton appears more staid and less hip, many young people here say. And many say that Mr. Dole, the Republican challenger, lacks both the charisma and the message that appeal to them. Statewide races, offer a similar pool of older, mostly male, mostly "career" politicians, they say.
A recent Gallup Youth Poll found political apathy among teenagers nearing that of the late 1960s and its "turn on, tune in, and drop out" youth counterculture.
The poll found that of more than 500 13- to 17-year-olds surveyed, only two out of three teens anticipated becoming regular voters, and nearly half believed there was no reason to vote if you did not like the candidates. One in four surveyed thought all politicians are about the same. And one in four believed it really didn't matter who won a local election.
As in the past, such detachment could play out at the polls when these young people come of age, experts say.
Elusive Constituency
The youth vote has traditionally been hard to predict, and even harder to rely on. Before the 1992 election, voting rates among eligible youths had declined with every election since 1972, the first year 18-year-olds could vote.
The 50 percent of eligible young people who voted in 1972 fell to 37 percent by 1988. But the 1992 presidential election was an exception. More young voters--44 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds--cast ballots than in the previous 20 years. (Overall turnout was 55 percent.) But youth participation plummeted again in 1994, when not even a third of eligible young voters cast ballots.
Many of the seniors in Charlotte high schools eligible to vote in this election plan to do so, but with mixed emotions.
The excitement that West Mecklenburg senior Jason Roberts, 18, feels about voting in his first election has been tempered this fall by the predictability of the outcome and the rhetoric, he said.
It's not that he doesn't care, he explained. "It just hasn't been very exciting." Candidates haven't reached out and addressed the things important to him, he said, like employment, education and financial aid.
"I've got college to worry about," he said.
Us Vs. Them
Teachers, politicians, and political activists are looking for a solution. In public service announcements, teen icons like rock stars, sports heroes, and twentysomething actors promote the idea that "voting is way cool." And teachers are using curriculum additives like Kids Voting, which districts in North Carolina and in 40 other states use to teach young people about political issues and the voting process. ("Mock Elections, Voter Programs Seek To Plug In Tuned-Out Students," This Week's News.)
But judging by the attitudes of many Charlotte students, young people aren't responding.
Curtis Gans, the executive director of the Committee for the Study of the American Electorate, based in Washington, says those worried about such attitudes shouldn't be focused on why young people are not interested. He asks, instead, "Why would they be?"
"Information doesn't breed affinity," he said. "There are bigger things going on in the culture. Thanks to television, and the lack of centrality of churches and other institutions, kids today are more passive, more fragmented, more self-seeking, and more cynical than they have ever been.
"And, in this election, there's nothing of consequence being offered up to them. We have one party way to the right whose message has no resonance with young people, and another without a durable message at all."
Teenagers who become uneasy when they are asked about elections or political parties end up using one word a lot: "they."
Steve Yanacsek, a 17-year-old senior at West Mecklenburg High with black stripes dyed in his hair, is earnest as he explains that this fall's political debate is "totally remote" from his day-to-day life.
"They seem to be trying to make personal choices for people instead of talking about stuff that matters, like crime and schools," he said. "Just getting to school and surviving is a challenge here."
Violence is a big concern at the 1,500-student high school.
Classmate Alicia Byrd, 16, said she has little patience for most of the backbiting and exaggeration that seem to go with any campaign season. "They're going to say what they want you to hear, just to get the vote" she said. "If they actually do something, then I start to listen."
'Democracy Isn't Efficient'
Sonya McInnis, a social studies teacher at J.T. Williams Middle School here, has spent much of this year focusing on the political parties and process and hoping students will listen. One day recently, in her final class of the day, she asked groups of 9th graders to define the political parties and gauge how their own beliefs fit in to the debate.
"What issues are most important? And why?" she asked the class. "Job opportunity? Education for all? Crime? The budget? Health care? The environment?"
"It can be tough," she said after class. "This generation wants things in an instant. They hate to wait. If they can't see results right away, they have no interest in what's being discussed. They don't understand that a democracy isn't efficient."
A large part of the malaise may be due to the fact that many teenagers are the children of parents who don't vote. The challenge for educators is to overcome the likelihood that such lack of interest will be passed on to a second generation.
For Betsy Williamson, the coordinator of the K-12 social studies program for the 92,000-student Charlotte-Mecklenburg school district, teaching students about the democratic process early is the best way to break the cycle.
The district's goal, she said, is to "give kids the tools to cut through the jargon and put things in context." This year, students are learning how to decipher the hidden message in political ads, what a "photo op" is, and how a political platform is decided, she said.
"We want to train students early to become literate voters," she said.
The Kids Voting curriculum that teachers in the county have adopted this political season allows students in all grades to go to official polls on election day and cast a mock vote. Results will be prominently reported by the local media.
The program is intended to instill lifetime voting habits in young people and boost turn-out among their parents and guardians, who accompany the students to the polls.
Jeff Williams, a 17-year-old senior at Providence High whose serious demeanor and carefully chosen words defy his age, concedes that among his peers "apathy is a problem."
"Kids feel like the issues have nothing to do with them, or they think elections don't matter," he said. "And because the issues aren't put in kid terms, it takes a lot of initiative on the part of a young person to understand.
"Many aren't willing," he said.
Mr. Williams said he is encouraged by the efforts of programs like Kids Voting and recent interest among his classmates in the school's Teenage Republican Club, of which he is a proud member.
"I'm optimistic that the apathy can be solved," he said. "I read Newsweek each week to keep up on things. I know most of the issues involved in this election--education, crime prevention, drug abuse.
"And I wish I could vote in this election," he added. "I really think that's key."

I have wanted to bake the perfect Olive Oil cake for years, and I believe I have at last. This cake is moist, fresh and tastes absolutely fantastic!
I sprinkled it with icing sugar, it is so pretty when you do that, but if like icing as much as my other half, you can make some with a little bit of lemon juice instead of water. To keep the balance of sweet and sour.
This cake is perfect for tea, and also as we have discovered, for breakfast…
Finely grated zest of one large lemon
250ml of extra virgin Olive Oil, warmed (NOT HOT!)
5 large eggs, separated
250ml of caster sugar
5ml vanilla essence
750ml of cake flour
10ml baking powder
250ml full cream milk
- Add the lemon rind to the warmed olive oil and let it infuse it
- In a large bowl, beat the yolks and caster sugar together until it is light in colour
- Add the vanilla essence and the cooled olive oil with the zest
- Sift the flour and baking powder together and mix it into the egg mixture. Don't get a fright if you think it looks wrong. It does look "crumbly"
- Add the milk, and mix well. You will notice that it is a very thick dough. That is ok!
- In a separate bowl, whish the egg whites until stiff, and then fold them into the mixture. Folding is important to keep the air in! Otherwise the cake will be too dense.
- Spray a 23cm cake tin with baking spray, and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 40 min. after 40 min turn the heat down to 160 degrees Celsius and bake for another 10-15 min. until a knife comes out clean.
If your cake cracks at the top, don't worry about it. That makes it look as if it came out of your grandmother's kitchen.
Now you can either sprinkle it with icing sugar once it is completely cooled on the wire rack, or put on some lemony icing.
This is a delicious cake! You won't regret making it.

Every country could have a price variation due to local import duties and taxes
On the road charges of £300 apply to the quoted prices
Turismo Veloce is the boldest bike ever made by MV Agusta. This time we didn't take our inspiration from our 75 world titles or our legendary riders to set new speed or power records. We did, however, accept a challenge that was perhaps even more difficult, at least for us who feel at home on the track and are often the first to see the chequered flag flying: to make an MV Agusta touring bike The fact that it is also "Veloce" (fast) is the natural consequence.
Giovanni Castiglioni.
This meant redefining the design priorities: comfort, cargo capacity, smooth operation, low fuel consumption, longer service intervals and everything else a customer looks for in a bike designed for touring. Available in two versions, both share the absolute best technology available today: from the MVCSC (MV Agusta Chassis Stability Control) electronics package to the MVICS 2.0 (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System) with inertial platform and the latest generation Bosch ABS. In typical MV Agusta style, we decided to adopt the electronic up&down EAS 2.0 gearbox available on all the engine maps, even on this touring bike. The overall innovation of the design also comes through in the details, such as the Full LED light clusters, the colour instrumentation with TFT technology, built-in Bluetooth device to allow up to 9 different devices to be paired, the immobilizer, two USB sockets and two 12V power points. The Lusso (luxury) version takes the technical level of the Turismo 800 even higher with electronically controlled semi-active suspension as standard equipment, as well as heated hand grips, a centre stand and built-in GPS sensor.

Nesting on the western show of contemporary Turkey, near small resort Kusadasi, the once influential trading and spiritual place of Ephesus was regarded as the most important and largest centers of the old Mediterranean world, and is regarded as the best preserved places of antiquity in Asia Minor.
History of Ephesus City
All through the times, the city was dominated by different empires which take account of Romans, Ionians, Lydians as well as Persians. On the other hand, it managed to keep it liberty with a self-governing system. Ephesus city reached its pinnacle and was infamous for its prosperity between 1 and 4 AD during the time of Augustus, he was one of the most known leader of ancient Ephesus and eventually become the important place of New Asia. By means of economics of an altering world and a bothersome silting harbour, this big and crowded city became the old days of romance, a religious and cultural memory, gradually fading as the time goes by. In spite of, this city has kept one of the best reconstructed cities of the ancient world.
The wonderful city of Ephesus was incredibly inexpensively and has good trade and business going on. This is also the basis why the city was named the main and important city of New Asia. On the other hand, the progress of the trade and industry was begun to slow down after for a moment.
Below are some of the Facts Regarding the Ancient City of Ephesus.
- Place of a Wonder: Artemis Temple, regarded as the seven wonders of the ancient world was located in this city.
- Library: In Ephesus city, there are noticeable relics of a library devoted to Tiberus Julious Celsus Polemeanus which housed 12,000 to 15,000 scrolls.
- Dimension: The Ephesus city was a coastal place with a populace of ¼ million. The city was regarded as the second biggest place of the Romanian Empire.
- Antiquity: The city was discovered between 1500 and 1000 B.C.
- Restoration: The city was shattered and cracked by a strong earthquake in 17 AD and then developed and extended by Tiberius.
- Religious: The city was a significant enough place for previous Christianity; this is also the place where in the 3rd ecumenical council conducted in 431 AD.
- Cosmopolitan: A finest place for Christians and Pagans, this city contained the usual trappings of Greek and Roman cities that take account of Odeon, theatre, public toilets, state agora as well as huge monument to the leaders and emperors.
- St. Paul: The city was the place of St. Paul ministry for 3 years
- Today: The place is now called Selcuk, in Izmir district near Kusadasi - Turkey.
What's in Ephesus
Ephesus City Today
At this point, Ephesus is one of the most visited tourist destination all over the world.

Canadian Health Outcomes for Better Information and Care (C-HOBIC) is an innovative initiative that is leading the collection of standardized clinical outcomes data that reflects nursing practices across Canada. Sponsored and managed by the Canadian Nurses Association, the initiative is funded with contributions from Canada Health Infoway and other provincial partners.
What is C-HOBIC?
C-HOBIC introduces a structured language for use in patient assessment and is focused on collecting standardized evidence-based clinical outcome data for inclusion in electronic health records in Canada. This data set includes terminology in the following areas:

How does standardized data help?
There are many benefits of collecting and standardizing this type of data for patients as they move across the health care system. It provides decision-makers with real-time reports that can easily be linked with staffing, financial and clinical data. These reports can help assess organizational performance and may help to improve clinical outcomes and better prepare patients for discharge.
C-HOBIC data also provides health care administrators with access to real-time information about the effect and outcome of nursing care on patients, and offers researchers standardized data to support investigations into how well the health system is working to meet the health care needs of Canadians.
In addition, the collection of this data will allow for comparative analysis within organizations and for industry benchmarking. It will also provide the necessary information to evaluate operational decisions and resource allocation and will support continuity of care across the health care system.
What does this mean for CIHI?
The C-HOBIC data set is being incorporated into CIHI's Discharge Abstract Database (DAD), which captures administrative, clinical and demographic information on hospital discharges. During this implementation period, the C-HOBIC team is piloting the collection of data in 2 acute care sites from 2015 to 2017.

A few days ago a friend of ours organised a high tea. I hadn't got the time to bake something, so I went decorating cookies (like I did for the tombstones for Halloween). Without a plan, just drawing anything that came to my head. And this is the result.
I had a nice time seeing my 'old' friends again :)

Hello and a Happy New Year 2015,
First, a BIG thank you to all my followers and Citrix Customers from whom I received numerous congratulations and kind words on my recent move to the Support Readiness team. While I am now a Support Readiness Specialist working primarily with Citrix Cloud products, I will continue to be an active printing SME at Citrix and can still be followed @CtxPrintNinja.
The last few months of the past year were pretty abundant in printing enhancements, fixes and updates. For instance, Hotfix Rollup Pack 5 for Citrix XenApp 6.5 or Citrix Universal Print Server (UPS) version 7.6. I got asked by a number of people willing to give the latest UPS version a try where they could download its components.
Initially, UPS 7.6 was available as part of the XenApp/XenDesktop 7.6 ISO image:
UPS Server
UPS Client
Please note, the screen-shots depict the locations of the 64bit components. If 32 bit ones are still needed, they can be found in the x86 folder of the ISO image.
However, separate XenApp and XenDesktop download locations were added subsequently (MyCitrix login required):
To recapitulate, while the UPS 7.6 remains available as part of the XenApp/XenDesktop 7.6 ISO image, XenApp (including 6.5) and XenDesktop Customers can now obtain the updated standalone UPS components directly using dedicated links.
Wishing you a great Citrix day,
Marek Dresler

Sorry for the delay in the program... first I got sick (no big deal) then my computer got sick (very big deal). It's still in the shop as we speak (along with all my favorites and bookmarks and passwords and files).
So yeah, I've been feeling a little lost this week... well, on the computer anyway.
As for jewelry, I started a new line... I'd like to refer to it as the "Zen" line, but that wouldn't really describe it. Since the designs are influenced by things Japanese, however, I am for now referring to it as the "Japanese" line.
Here are two pair of earrings and a necklace (click a pic for more info):

Abdelbaset al-Megrahi pleaded to be left alone and said he was short of medicine and expected to die within a matter of weeks or months.
He spoke as forces from Libya's National Transitional Council overran the district where Col Muammar Gaddafi was born, in what they said was their final assault to clear the loyalist stronghold of Sirte.
Revolutionary fighters swept into the Abu Hadi area amid reports one of the ousted dictator's sons, Mutassim, was holed-up in Sirte's hospital.
Al-Megrahi, who is the only person ever convicted of the bombing of Pan Am flight 103, spoke from his sick bed to dismiss his trial and said he had been the victim of lies.
"The facts [about the bombing] will become clear one day and hopefully in the near future. In a few months from now, you will see new facts that will be announced," he said during the rare interview, conducted by Reuters.
"The West exaggerated my name. Please leave me alone. I only have a few more days, weeks or months."
The former intelligence agent was released on compassionate grounds from a Scottish prison two years ago after doctors wrongly concluded he had just three months to live.
His repatriation stipulated he would receive medical care, he said, but since the overthrow of Col Gaddafi he had run short of medicine and his opulent villa in a Tripoli suburb had been broken into and his cars had been stolen.
Soon after Tripoli fell to anti-Gaddafi rebels he was pictured in an apparent coma and his family then said he was close to death.
"During the latest incidents, especially in the last month, I have a shortage of all my medicines," he said.
"My doctor tells me to look for medicine like anyone else despite the agreement between us and Britain," he said. "I have four pills left [of one of the medications]." Al-Megrahi did not say what new evidence might emerge in the case.
Megrahi also denied any role in suspected human rights abuses under Gaddafi, claiming his work was all "administrative".
Libya's interim justice minister, Mohammed al-Alagi, last week said he believed al-Megrahi had been unjustly convicted and he would welcome new evidence on who else was involved.
Interim government forces on Monday redoubled their offensive on Sirte, one of only two remaining loyalist strongholds, after the end of a truce designed to let civilians flee the city.
"This is where the dog Gaddafi was born," shouted rebels in excitement as they swept into Abu Hadi, south of the city centre.
The military spokesman for Libya's interim government said Mutassim Gaddafi, who was national security adviser for his father, was hiding in Sirte's Ibn Sina hospital.
Fighters at the frontline said the hospital had become an operations centre for the loyalist defence.
As the offensive intensified, government forces beat back brigades loyal to another of the former dictator's son, Saadi.
Fighters crashed through doors of empty civilian homes in furious house-to-house searches.
"They were hiding weapons in the houses," said Bashir Ali al-Jerushi, carrying out crates filled with rocket-propelled grenades.
Interim government fighters that had attacked from opposite sides of the city joined forces on Monday surrounding and pounding the city centre with heavy weaponry.
Capturing Abu Hadi left forces loyal to Col Gaddafi with their backs to the sea, concentrated in the marina strip close to the city centre.
Rockets screamed towards the centre, and the air filled with the constant rattle of machine gun fire as armed pickup trucks advanced.
"There are high towers full of Gaddafi snipers, and loyalists fighting around them," said fighter Khaled Tanashi of the Misrata Stallion brigade.
Families still fleeing the city on Monday said dozens remained trapped inside, unable to flee due to fuel shortages. "Our home was hit by tank fire this morning, many families just cannot escape," said escaping father Salem Ali.
"This is the battle for Sirte, there is no going back," said Balul Hanoun from the Tripoli Brigade.

In previous versions of Outlook, when you opened an email and selected File, then Save As, the program saved the message as a single Outlook mail file. That was nice, compact, and easy to transport.
It also was unreadable to computers that didn't' have Outlook installed.
To get around that, Outlook 2007 defaults to saving messages as .html files. Every computer can read one of those. Unfortunately, since the .html format doesn't support everything found in an email, even an html-formatted email, Outlook has to provide a folder with a few extra files. For the message to display properly, that folder must remain in the same location as the .html file.
So what should you do if compact, single-file messages are more important to you than universal compatibility? Select File, then Save As. In the Save As dialog box' "Save as type" pull-down menu, select Outlook Message Format. Then save the file.
Or you can simply drag the message from Outlook to a folder or to the desktop.
