Leading our fall season will be these two long-awaited collections. One is devoted to Martyn Bates and offers a retrospective of his whole career, now going on for more than 20 years, including his collaborations outside Eyeless in Gaza. The other collection is a similar retrospective focusing on Eyeless in Gaza.
YOUR JEWLED FOOTSTEPS journeys through made-in-England pop, folk, poetry recitation and reconstructions of songs whose origins are long forgotten. In addition to Bates' essential pieces, the collection also includes several previously unreleased tracks, including some pre-Industrial sound works predating EIG's formation, in the late '70s.

Just in case you missed it, a heart-warming story unfolded this week involving an unlikely combination of bobsled, Jamaica, virtual currency, crowdfunding and generosity. It has all the makings of an inspiring Disney movie — er, an inspiring Disney sequel. Last Sunday, news began trickling out that a two-man bobsled team from the island nation of Jamaica had qualified for the Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.
The country's official Twitter account for the 2014 games announced the news that the team had qualified, including an image that appeared to be a reference to Cool Runnings, the John Candy-led cult film that loosely chronicled Jamaica's debut in bobsled for the 1988 Olympic Games in Alberta, Canada.
The world apparently loves a sequel. In a plot twist seemingly right out of Cool Runnings, despite qualifying for the 2014 Olympics, team captain Winston Watts told the New York Times that the team hadn't been able to raise the necessary funds to make it to Russia. Watts said that he had essentially been self-funding the team's efforts thus far, and had even dug into his personal savings to fly the team to the U.S. for the bobsledding qualifiers. Nevertheless, after finding little help from the Jamaican Olympic Association or private investors, the team was forced to turn elsewhere.
In the world of bobsled, and perhaps sports in general, there has never been a more quintessential underdog story. First of all, the Jamaican bobsled team is from, well, Jamaica. Second, the team is competing against teams with significant some financial backing (and actually hail from more arctic climes). Not only that, Winston Watts came out of retirement to lead the 2014 bobsled team, and if the team were to compete in Sochi, Watts would be second-oldest bobsled pilot in Olympic history at age 46.
Luckily, the citizens of the Internet are sympathetic to an underdog story and were not about to let the team sit this one out due to lack of funding. And that's when Jamaican bobsledding had its first introduction to the altruistic power of both virtual currency and digital crowdfunding proponents alike. Fittingly, it was a joke currency — or a virtual currency inspired by a dog meme — that came to the rescue. Yes, the very peer-to-peer cryptocurrency loved by Lassie, the world's pooches and geeks alike, and the very currency that began as a joke but has since been hailed as a potential successor to Bitcoin: The noble, Dogecoin.
In a movement that began on Reddit, the Dogecoin Foundation seized the opportunity to promote its virtual currency on the world stage and help send the Jamaican bobsled team to Sochi. Over a matter of days, the Dogecoin community raised over 27 million Dogecoins, the equivalent of $30,000 for those without a canine cryptocurrency analyst on hand.
That, in and of itself, is something to behold, but the Internet wasn't done yet. Just as the Dogecoin campaign began to hit full steam, word of the Jamaican bobsled team's plight got to the founders of Y Combinator-incubated, group-funding platform, Crowdtilt. A Jamaican bobsled fan launched a campaign on Crowdtilt to pool funds for the team from sympathetic fans and, before long, the startup got wind of the campaign, as did the team's president, Chris Stokes, and founding member of the original "Cool Runnings" team, Devon Harris.
The team made the Crowdtilt effort its "official fundraising campaign," and the Crowdtilt founders worked with the Dogecoin Foundation to convert the $30K raised in Dogecoin (from 1,600 Dogecoin supporters) into Bitcoin and then combine it with the money raised on Crowdtilt.
As one might expect, the campaign quickly surpassed its goal and then some. After three days live, the campaign raised just under $130K ($129,587, to be precise) — more than 12 times the campaign's goal — including the contribution from the Dogecoin community.
Crowdtilt co-founder James Beshara tells us that it was one of the fastest campaigns to reach its goal in the platform's history and there were points when as much as $3,000 was donated in 60 seconds. The average donation was $34.60, with nearly 3,000 individuals contributing to the campaign from 50 states and 52 countries.
Either way, we look forward to seeing Cool Runnings 2 come to theaters near us in 2015. After all, it's clearly the follow-up to The Social Network that we've been waiting for.


I grew up playing with GI-Joes. I had all the accessories. I had the jeep, raft & helicopter as well as all the GI-Joe weapons. They battled relentlessly against each other in my mind and in my living room. I even set them up outside and lobbed fire crackers at them as we secured the beach head! Growing up in a family with only boys, I never experienced the "other side." I was only slightly aware of Barbie dolls and imagined little girls dressing them up and changing their outfits over and over. I guess that was fun for girls? I needed a little more action for my dolls. I doubt many little girls were lobbing fire crackers at their den of Barbie's in order to secure an important victory on the battle field.
Now that I am co-authoring this blog and have collaborated on a book focused on fathers raising daughters, I have become more aware and interested in the environment surrounding our girls. A friend recently passed along some interesting facts on the Barbie doll.
*Barbie was invented in 1959 and there are two Barbie dolls sold every second.
*If Barbie was an actual woman, she would be 5'9" tall, have a 39" bust, 18" waist, 33" hips and a size 3 shoe.
*Barbie calls this this "full figure" and likes her weight at 110 lbs.
*At 5'9" tall and weighing 110 lbs., Barbie would have a BMI of 16.24 and fit the weight criteria for anorexia. She likely would not menstruate.
Please Dad's, stay vigilant in the environment around your daughter. Focus on interpreting the messages she receives every single day. You can point to things with a chuckle and say, "Can you believe that? That's not even real!" Speak truth to your daughter as often as possible.
3 responses to Barbie = Real Life?
Yes! Love this. I actually saw this a few days ago and found it pretty impacting. For me, Barbie and Vanna White (ha) were my aesthetic idols.
so far? I amazed with the analysis you made to make this particular put up amazing.

Jacket design by Earl Thollander.
In this culinary journey, James Beard takes us back to the earliest days of his childhood when he started developing his precocious palate and lifelong "taste memories"—the ability to savor and remember the tastes and sensations of food. His enthusiasm for flavors, no matter how bold, would define Beard for the rest of his life. From devouring a raw onion as an infant to scouring the globe in search of local flavors as an adult, Delights and Prejudices is full of witty and illuminating stories that open a door into the world of one of America's first and perhaps greatest epicures. Packed with more than one hundred fifty recipes, including corn chili soufflé, fried oysters, and peach preserves, this very personal account of his life is as close to an autobiography as Beard ever penned.

Lessons from the Streets of Delhi
Andrew Kidde
Thirty years ago, Carol and I flew to Delhi, landing by the first light of a November morning. As we waited for the bus into the city, we shivered from the unexpected cold–young New Yorkers with backpacks… The bus eventually came and drove us through Delhi's outskirts by the blue light. The air was misty and smokey from the dung fires people were just beginning to light, and it was hard interpret the bleak surroundings that flitted by: a wall, some machiner,y a few people standing around in the gloaming.
But as we got to the center of the great city, the sun came up, and the wide thoroughfares came alive as rivers of humanity. And, oh my, so many ways to get around: buses festooned with marigolds and icons, ox and donkey carts, dusty trucks, and even elephants plodded along; cars and taxis honked and claimed whatever space would fit them; and a myriad of rickshaws, scooters, bicycles, and pedestrians weaved in and out around the sacred cows and beggars. There were no lanes, yet everyone seemed to have a place in the cooperative anarchy of the Delhi streets. And when more traffic was heading east than west, then east bound traffic simply bulged out, taking up 70% of the right of way–so if you looked up the road you would see the median line snaking ahead.
These roads were cacophonous, dazzling with color, dizzy with movement, both crazy and surprisingly functional. Traffic was slow, but it moved and pulsed and swayed. And when the late afternoon the heat finally came and the traffic felt less urgent, these streets, bathed in golden light, were beautiful.
I don't want to over-romanticize this. The motor rickshaws spewed wretched smoke. The open sewers stank horribly, there were injuries and fatalities, bicycle rickshaw drivers had unbelievably strenuous lives, and Delhi commuters cursed the traffic.
But there is not, and never has been, a perfect system for traffic–from ancient Rome to modern New York, people have cursed it. Traffic is everywhere disliked and no where the same. Traffic is a cultural artifact, and while our own traffic is bad, that of other cities is even worse. Delhi's traffic is about as unlike our own as possible, and many here the US would find it horrifying. Yet, I am convinced that it has some things to teach us.
One clear lesson: the Delhi streets were democratic. They allowed any mode of transport, and if all you could afford was a rusty old bike, you had a place on the street. What a contrast to Seattle, where in many parts of town the street design and traffic culture creates a virtual monopoly for cars, and even sidewalks are missing and biking is treacherous. For most Seattleites owning a car is a necessity, and not a cheap one. According to the City of Seattle's New Mobility Playbook, "on average, owning a car in King County adds about $12,500 a year to the household budget."

A second lesson of the Delhi streets concerns speed–the traffic I saw moved at much slower speeds than traffic in the US. Yes, the sheer density slowed things down. But there was also so much to see that people slowed down just to appreciate the spectacle, so even when the traffic did not clog the streets people moved slowly. The sacred cows were particularly effective; as revered creatures, everyone slowed for them.
Here in the US we have a speeding problem. A recent National Transportation Safety Board report found that speed-related death is comparable to that attributed to alcohol-impaired driving, and kills about 10,000 people per year. See report here. The deadliness of speed starts to increase exponentially above 30 miles per hour. To slow down vehicles, US engineers use "traffic calming" techniques such as speed bumps, road diets, and driver feedback signs. These techniques are only partly successful, people tend to speed up between bumps, for instance, and the Rainier road diet, while somewhat successful, has not managed to stop cars from speeding.
A more subtle and intriguing approach, called "psychological traffic calming", is emerging, especially in Europe, and it may even be more effective than the traditional calming methods–by installing intriguing art work, or cafe seating by the edge of the road, drivers will slow down out of curiosity or respect. The streets of New Delhi had this system years ago, sacred cows and festooned buses have long functioned as mental speed bumps that stimulate the mind without jolting your suspension.

A third lesson from the streets of Delhi concerns the safety benefit of steering though chaos. I know that sounds crazy, but bear with me. In a street environment of no lanes, few signs, and a lot very diverse traffic, there are many of what traffic engineers call "conflicts"–that is moments when two people (drivers, bikers, pedestrians) want to get in the same space at the same time. Tom Vanderbilt wrote about this in Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do, which I happened to be reading as I was writing this essay.
"In conventional traffic engineering thought, the more conflict, the less safe the system. But again, Delhi challenges preconceptions. In a study of various locations around Delhi," Vanderbilt wrote, "researchers found that the site that had a low conflict rate tended to have high fatality rate, and vice versa. In other words the seeming chaos functioned as a kind of safety device."
In a way this safety benefit is understandable, all that chaos makes us alert for the unexpected and aware that we are steering a deadly weapon. It does not make driving pleasant, especially to a driver new to this environment, but it makes it safer.
Here in the US our street system is designed to minimize the number of conflicts; our lanes tell us exactly where to be, the signs tell us how fast we can go, what to look out for, and when to stop. If drivers follow the system they can disengage some, talk on the phone, sing and dance with the radio, or just space out and discover, several minutes later, that they have no memory of the last several miles of driving. Driving in the US is designed to be as conflict free as possible which may be why "distracted driving" is an epidemic, and why our streets are so deadly. No matter how much engineers try to design conflicts out of the road system, they cannot eliminate them–the kid will dart out from behind the bus, the bicyclist will serve to avoid a pothole–and the driver, at a deadly speed and lulled into a false confidence, suddenly cannot brake fast enough. The problem of traffic safety is not only a problem of engineering roads for safety, it is also a problem of people, especially of people who drive too fast because they feel safe.
So, what to do with all these lessons from the streets of Delhi? I'm not actually suggesting we install a bunch of sacred cows, do away with the lanes, and call it good–though it would make for an amusing morning commute!

But, as Seattle grows, and gets denser, as more people take to the roads, as we improve transit and pedestrian and bicycle routes; it makes sense to think about how to accommodate this new democracy in our streets that have been so monopolized by cars. And an essential part of that is to a need to slow the cars. So, what would be good mental speed bumps for Seattle drivers? Should the Seattle Department of Transportation hire more public artists? And how can we help Seattle drivers adapt to more chaotic systems? Several people have called for banning cars from Pike Place Market, yet I think we need more places like Pike Place Market where car drivers learn, up close and personal, how to live with pedestrians.
Some things are certainties–both the infrastructure of Seattle roads and the culture of Seattle traffic is evolving, and in fact seems to be headed for fairly rapid evolution. Now is the chance to shape it.

IBM Lotus Symphony è un set di applicazioni per creare, editare e condividere elaborazioni testuali, fogli di calcolo, presentazioni e altri documenti. Pubblicata nel luglio 1984 come una suite integrata per il DOS, IBM ha rivitalizzato il nome Symphony (Sinfonia) per una nuova suite di programmi per ufficio uscita nel 2007.

Lotus Symphony per DOS
La prima incarnazione di Lotus Symphony è stata una suite integrata per il DOS sviluppata da Lotus Development come seguito per il suo ben conosciuto programma contabile Lotus 1-2-3.

Nonostante 1-2-3 fosse un prodotto contabile integrante anche un database e funzioni grafiche (da qui il nome 1-2-3), le suite sul modello AppleWorks si diffondevano a macchia d'olio e Lotus ha provato a lanciarsi nel mercato.

Symphony veniva caricato all'avvio di DOS e, tramite la combinazione di tasti ALT-F10, l'utente poteva scegliere l'applicazione.

 SHEET, un foglio di calcolo simile a 1-2-3
 DOC, un word processor simile all'odierno Word
 GRAPH, per realizzare grafici
 FORM, un database tabellare
 COMM, un software per la comunicazione

Molti add-in potevano essere aggiunti per potenziarlo, incluso il controllo ortografico, creatore di macro, statistiche ed un tutorial, che mostrava l'utilizzo delle macro nel programma.

Il programma offriva una visualizzazione in pannelli e, caratteristica decisamente innovativa per l'epoca, la possibilità di vedere la modifica simultaneamente negli altri programmi.

I dati inseriti in Symphony erano gestiti in celle simili ai fogli di calcolo. Gli altri applicativi (word processor, database, comunicazione, grafici) cambiavano semplicemente la visualizzazione e la focalizzazione su un dato oggetto (inclusi menù disponibili, tasti speciali e funzionalità), che poteva esser salvato con l'estensione .WR1.

Symphony è stato progettato per lavorare soltanto con la memoria disponibile; ecco spiegata la ragione della memoria espandibile che aiutava la classica da 640 kB di un qualsiasi Intel 80286. Prodotti simili includevano SmartWare, Microsoft Works, Context MBA, Framework, Enable e Ability Office.

Il motore del foglio di calcolo (e anche molto codice sorgente dell'attuale Symphony) è lo stesso utilizzato per Lotus 1-2-3.

Paragonando il word processor di Symphony con altri concorrenti quali Micropro WordStar 3.3, WordPerfect 4.2, e Microsoft Word 2.0, Symphony era semplice ma funzionale e non complicato.

Nel database, paragonando Symphony ad altri concorrenti quali Ashton-Tate's dBase III, MDBS Knowledgeman, Borland Paradox 2.0 e Borland Reflex 1.0, è debole e lacunoso. Tuttavia, essendo già integrato nel foglio di calcolo era semplice creare le query, era veloce e i dati erano accessibili in maniera immediata.

IBM Lotus Symphony: la suite
IBM Lotus Symphony è una suite di programmi per l'ufficio comprendente le seguenti applicazioni:

 IBM Lotus Symphony Documents, un word processor
 IBM Lotus Symphony Spreadsheets, un programma modello foglio di calcolo
 IBM Lotus Symphony Presentations, un programma di presentazioni
 IBM Voice e Utility Office, serie di programmi d'utilità, solo nella futura versione professional.

Symphony supporta il formato OpenDocument (ODF), come anche i formati di Microsoft Office e Lotus SmartSuite, anche i nuovi formati Office Open XML Strict sia quello utilizzato da MS-Office 2007; può anche esportare in PDF ed in altri 20 formati.

È totalmente integrabile nella struttura Lotus come Lotus Notes e altri programmi IBM e dispone già di svariati Plug-In e utilità gratuite, inoltre grazie al formato ODF può interagire con altri programmi con la massima semplicità.

È disponibile per Linux, Windows e macOS (solo per processori Intel).

Basato sul potente software Eclipse Rich Client Platform, IBM Lotus Expeditor e OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 per il cuore dell'applicazione. Richiede 512 MB di RAM e 540 MB di disco fisso libero nella configurazione minima.

Lotus Symphony è attualmente alla versione 3.0, sarà sempre disponibile gratuitamente, anche nella versione localizzata in italiano e diverse altre lingue, sul sito dedicato symphony.lotus.com.

IBM ha interrotto il supporto a Lotus Symphony il 9 dicembre 2014

IBM e Apache OpenOffice
Dopo l'acquisizione di Sun Microsystems nel 2010, Oracle Corporation cessa di sostenerne lo sviluppo commerciale e nell'estate 2011 dona la suite a Apache Incubator per diventare poi un progetto della Apache Software Foundation.

Poco dopo IBM decide di supportare il progetto donando i codici sorgenti della propria suite Lotus Symphony

Pacific Green Sea Turtle
Chelonia mydas agassisi
Pacific Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas agassisi)
Pacific Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas agassisi)
The Pacific Green Sea Turtle, also called the Black Sea Turtle due to their slightly darker colour, is a turtle that has completely adapted for an aquatic lifestyle by evolving powerful flippers instead of feet, and a hydrodynamic shell. Being oceanic; Sea Turtles spend most of their life in the water, only coming out to lay their eggs.
During the breeding season which takes place in the warmest months, the female will climb up onto the same beach every year. She then uses her powerful flippers to dig a hole where she will lay her fertilized eggs. To avoid predation she will lay a layer of unfertilized eggs over top to distract potential predators. In some areas Sea Turtle eggs are often poaches as they make up many native delicacies throughout the world such as some places in Africa. When the eggs hatch the young scramble to reach the water. In doing so they have to avoid a plethora of predators such as birds of prey, seagulls, carnivorous mammals and even crabs. If the hatchlings make it to the water they risk a whole new set of predators such as large fish and sharks. In the water they are still vulnerable and will try to hide wherever they can such as floating kelp beds which supply both shelter and food.
During the first few years of their life, Sea Turtles will feed on a variety of small invertebrates, small fish and sea weed. When they get older and larger, jellyfish will make up a large portion of their diet. Unfortunately, old balloons and plastic bags make their way into the ocean and while in the water, their fluid movement in currents makes them look identical to jellyfish. For this reason many sea turtles try to feed on the plastic and often suffocate as a result. Another risk to Sea Turtles is getting caught as bycatch, when they get stuck in fishing lines where they panic and get themselves tangled further in the nets. The turtle will often suffocate as it gets stuck underwater, unable to get oxygen at the surface.
The Pacific Sea Turtle will spend much of its adult life circumnavigating the pacific ocean, relying on ocean currents such as the Humboldt to aid in their travels. Males will spend majority of their life in the water while females eventually leave the water briefly to lay eggs. Green Sea Turtles are the only species of Sea Turtle that have been known to bask out of the water, on land. This behaviour has only been known to occur in Hawaii, Galapagos and Australia.
The male and female display some sexual dimorphism as the male will have a much longer tail than the female as this is where his genitalia are stored. Females subsequently have a shorter tail as they do not need to house the same organs. The physiology of the Sea Turtle has not changed for millions of years as they first evolved during the Mesozoic period when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Their appearance and life cycle has changed very little since making them "living fossils".
When out at sea, Sea Turtles grow large amounts of algae on their shell which slows them down as it reduces their hydrodynamic shape. To combat this, Sea Turtles will lay at the bottom of a shallow reef where fish have been known to feed on the algae on their shell and any external parasites. This is a symbiotic relationship where both parties gain, the turtle gets rid of unwanted parasites while the fish get a free meal.

10 [so-called] "Metal" bands that are actually more worse than Nickelback
🗡Ted Deathless777☠🤘 10/10/17
Well, here we go another blog about something to speak about in this crowd of metal community, where there is a lot of judgment and hatred of course.
Generally, there has been a good amount of respect for Metal, and honoring fellow Metalheads. As we all have a different opinions and tastes in metal genres and themes, we do know that metal is freedom and it can be used in different way and not deteriorating from the principles.
We all love metal, but there are some bands that consider themselves as " Metal" Bands that are trying to be someone else. Honestly, they don't even know who they are and trying to fit in something they're not aware of.
These scene or emo or hardcore punk or screamo bands that are really pissing us off have something to offer, of course, only to blindfold the eyes and ears of teenage boys & girls generally, labeling themselves as so called " Metal" or screamo or whatever.
I don't judge but, they are really taking the importance of some real deal of bands like Metallica, Dream Theater, Burzum, Iron Maiden, and so on.
Such bands have to be recognised by the people outside of metal community and otherwise. But, for now, we need to understand and get it through.
I just mentioned Nickelback cause...
Nickelback is not actually worse than these bands that I mentioned below.
I've got 3 major reasons
→1. Nickelback is a rock band , So they never try to be " Metal" or act " Fake" but stick to their genre.
→2. They have good lyrics ,though some may disagree with me but they have few good simple lyrics compared to few " so-called metal" bands.
→3. They don't give a shit about what other bands think.
( btw, I'm not supporting Nickelback nor I'm a fan but trying to shoot a POINT here)
Now, These bands that are not arranged below from the ultimate worse to just worse. Yeah, I mean this is my opinion. I'm tired to see how few of these bands have used my teenage life into fake metal. I thought this is the end of metal, Until you know I found some real bands.
Again, I'm saying, I don't Hate these bands. I honestly love few of their songs if you ask me, you know... very few.
But, I just wanna lay everything down once and for all.
So lets go!! Are u ready?!
Alert→→ please don't hate me! I'm trying to be as honest as possible.
"They are giving METAL music a bad name "
1. Black Veil Brides
First let's go with this brain sucking centipede that's roaming in the streets of US, Europe and even my country , India! Dude, they are more contagious than Ebola or AIDS.
Bvb army as they have a fanbase that are so sickening and stupid, they don't even know what they're listen to either. Just a bunch of posers who try to be kind of " Emo or Black Metal" who have the guts to consider as metal and lift those metal horns in the air.
They have songs that are so repeated and generic. They don't get any concept or real deal of topics except " You're not alone, I'm here for you and we are in this broken world, we are an army of fallen angels" ( paraphrased).
I'm just sick of this band, that I wasted my 2 years of life getting obsessed to their music, I don't know how I had lived those days but it's really regretful for me.
Musically, I hate Andy's vocals, the drummer Christian sucks balls, and the music overall is not heavy yet they act like it's " Heavy" . It's funny and sad at the same time. Lol.
2. Limp Bizkit
This is a Nu metal band that's really impressive at first listen. Songs like " Golden cobra" is one song that's having a chorus that sound like shit. I've seen a lot of hatred for this band in this community, and I've checked them like I didn't care, but turned out they're right. This band has songs that don't seem true to themselves. You know what I mean. The singer using lot of unwanted lines with rap that's just crap. No emotion, when in fact rock/metal is about emotion and passion. Even if they are rock genre, they don't bring that justice. Compositional, lyrical and conceptually they don't have that pearl in them. The singer Fred is just a sicko. They don't try to be different, and something Real.
For example, let's look at Linkin Park: they have some songs that aren't too repetitive, even if they are they are some great beats, though they are electro, very fun and real deal, also, the lyrics are very passionate.
Such thing is not found in LB. So worse.
3. Blood On The Dance Floor
This is another band that is a only here to bring their fashion which is utterly bullshit. An electro duo that combines hardcore and electronic music which is not good if you ask me. The vocals are the ones that make me wanna vomit. The songs are not at all complicated or tricky, even when I played live, and the songs are all controlled by the mixing in the studio. It is vitally shown that these two freaks have no damn talent, but they try to be "metal" or whatever.
There's not much to talk about this band cause it's simply not worth, as you know their looks that don't make their music any better.
Sounds like they are in a Disneyland trying to be Tom and Jerry. Such a bad scene band with no lyrical themes or no good music and have no ability of depth and texture. Just awful, I don't wanna talk about.
Coming to this band that I found more hate, recently. I mean, there isn't really any soul or true emotion in their songs or lyrics, it's mostly "fuck bitches, fuck you, fuck rules, fuck the haters". You can really identify what kind of band uses songs that song nothing but simply bullshit. No potential, even on live, no depth in their lyrics, haha that's so far away. Damn I'm expecting a lot. They are Nu metal either. I don't condemn them by their music or looks but I think few songs are pretty good as some may argue about. Personally, I don't wanna get into it but , I'm a neutral right now for this band. I would say NO to this band and rather listen to Nickelback!! You know. Even those rap and rock music is not going very well eighth these suckers... it's worse, no bullshit in METAL community.
5. Falling In Reverse
Here comes the bestie of Black Veil Brides, as this band has some seriously fails and failures in their music. Music videos that really cheesy and generic, and they try to as emo as possible which is not really cool. Music that has no value in METAL scene. They were popular only in 2005 or 2009 I guess and that's it, especially for scene kids out there who don't know what music is all about. Lyrics deals with same as bvb, and no smartness or " unique" in them. It's just another scene band who try to be dark and emo, which is just hypocrisy. Not even METAL but they try to look like metalheads and we know that can't be.
They just used their ears and iPods for their popularity. The vocalist has weird sucking voice , and guitars are not hardcore either. It's all generic. Just B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T!!!
6. Bring Me The Horizon
Another band that is a screamo or hardcore punk band that try to become a metalcore band which will never become cause of many reasons. They are a sold out in brief.
Musically, the double bass sound of drums is never as hard as a rock, the vocals brings an itching to ears, that's really trash. Trying to play heavy metal with those good guitars, such seem to be fun but not original or passionate.
It's just so surreal, the vocals and music don't collaborate very well. It's not good, feels like mix of cheese and beer. There's lot of fault in the music, even the lyrics are generic and repeated, and mostly the breakdowns are not really a breakdown. Lol. That's pretty much, overall it's a good band if you ask me especially older albums. New bmth sucks 100%.
7. Asking Alexandria
This is another cheesy scene band that try to be metalcore and maybe, a brutal band. Lol. I get chuckles everytime when they try to be give a breakdown or just do vocals like mid screams or low growls. At first, when I didn't know about Metal, I thought asking Alexandria is only brutal band I knew at that time. Of course, that was when I like 15 years or so, and as days passed started to have a different opinion on them. But hey, they do have some good songs like " A prophecy" and " to the stage" , but musically they're dying to be Br00tal or whatever. Recently, the song " into the fire" is just poorly written and composed and preformed. I absolutely hated it. Yuck.
The singer tries to be scream his heart out but it's just not worth with the music they give in background that's not collaborating well. Simple drum beats, and not much guitar riffs, is one of the main reason, I put them on this list.
8. Five Finger Death Punch
A heavy metal/groove metal/alternative metal band that's greatly respected and also hated in metal scene at the same time. Better singing lyrics unlike Attila, that's really bullshit.
Well, These guys are having too repetitive songs that aren't really helpful for Metalheads who want to headbang and mosh in the pit. With vocals that are too processed and they try to do it hard and extra energy into it which checked it is purely insane, and awful. Though they are popular, they are still unoriginal.
That's pretty much, they trying to be as hardcore as possible but nah, that's not gonna fallen if they still try to be someone else and unoriginal. Lyrics don't matter either if the music is boring and not real. Good luck ffdp.
9. Attack Attack!
damn I'm sick of screamo bands, of yes, this is another one. Ugh.... They have some of the greatest bullshit music ever in history. They have some ugly music that's let's blood come out of your ears but because the music is brutal, but because it's so generic. So unoriginal, wannabe, sickos, suckers. Very much similar to blood on the dance floor band that has creepy vocals that's not cool, and don't really go well with itself. Such boring music and lyrics are also so stupid without any concept or reason to sing. Vocals have no ranges, which is only boring, and any Metalhead would get really resistive to this band.
They try to be hardcore, but they are not, only a bunch of kids obsessed over there popularity and overused breakdowns. Just no creativity.
10. Suicide Silence (Eddie's Era)
Finally, we've come to the point where we actually love this band when Mitch was alive. Yes it's Suicide Silence, folks. Some of you may don't like it all side they began. But, for others, it had great a journey with Mitch as frontman.
He gave his best deathcore vocals ever, with ultra high screams, and solid low growls.
Now that, he's no more, Suicide Silence has gone down under the carpet.
(This is my opinion, you can agree with me or disagree)
Eddie their new frontman had good vocals but the thing called , " Consistency" is not in his blood. He need to keep the fire burning that Mitch had created. Some may say that it's time for the band to try new things, but no one said about bringing " TEEHEE" into the scene. What the hell is that?! Seriously, the unwanted cleans that's really irritating to my ears, and well the music is good anyways. That's it, that's the only reason, and moreover The new SS is not stablet enough and Eddie is just a boring guy without passion unlike Mitch who spoke his heart out to fans through his voice and music. R.I.P Mitch.
☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠
That's it guys, someone should speak out, and I couldn't see folks in this community just obsessed and show hatred about it.
Fine, we get it. They are not metal in our opinions, I mean, it depends on the way we look at bands and stuff. Yes, so this is my perspective!! So don't you judge brother!! :yum: 🤘
Thanks for checking this out. :blush: :blush: 🤘 Peace!!!!!

None of the bands you called screamo are actually screamo
Whiprust
I agree all of it except BMTH. I think their sound is just evolving. Sure it's not Metalcore anymore and they have some softer songs, but they're definitely still metal. I feel like That's The Spirit was also a transition album for them and that they'll have a slightly heavier sound that's still melodic
Trve_Kvlt_SLAMPOLICE_Boi
Old BMTH was the shit and they were deathcore but now that Oli injured his voice, he has to go to softer stuff and i dont completely hate the new BMTH but i prefer the old 100x more
FnSlayer
... and I though I was the only one on this amino that hated all those bands.

39775 West Tabby Heights Rd is a $59,900 property on a 5.01 acre lot located in Tabiona, UT.
Beautiful Tabby Mountain land! This 5 acre lot is in a gated section. Entry road and building location already in place. Wild animals abound in the Pinyon and scrub oak. Views in all directions. Excellent spot for a cabin or a fun place to park several camp trailers.
I am interested in 39775 West Tabby Heights Rd, Tabiona, UT 84072.


My beautiful friend Kara moved to our capital city about 6 months ago, and it has only taken me this long to go and visit her. ps. you should go visit her blog over at The Coffee Diaries.
Having lived in Edinburgh during my Uni years I would say I am pretty familiar with the city. During my time there I usually kept to the regular spots: Morningside, Princes Street, Grassmarket and Musselburgh (where my campus was located). When she told me she was living in the totally adorable area of Stockbridge I was really excited to go down and explore an area that I had never set foot in.
We started the day with a walk down past the river where we came across the unbelievably picturesque Dean Village. I had seen photos of this little haven online but the don't do it justice. I couldn't believe we were in the middle of the 2nd largest city in Scotland. No noise, no hustle and bustle, just the sound of the Water of Leith. Beautiful.
We then made our way to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. There was actually an exciting exhibit on all about surrealist artists. Unfortunately we weren't able to go and have a peek but it is showing until September so there is definitely time for me to go back soon.
No I wasn't creeping on some tourists - these are actual some eerily realistic wax dummies. Took me a few mins to realise that they were not alive!
Of course I had to pop into the Aēsop store and snap a pic of their post-poo drops. Call me a child why don't you! ha.
Stockbridge is one of the nicest areas of Edinburgh. I am obsessed. Filled with cute boutiques, wine bars and independent book shops you have to have a wander around the next time you're there. Especially if you want to get away from the tourists!
I am ending this post with a picture of a scrumptious cake because why the hell not! Yum!
I go to Edinburgh a LOT, but I have never seen these beautiful places! I wonder how I've missed them?! I'll definitely be going back to explore a bit more after reading this - gorgeous pictures!!!
We fringed all weekend but I already want to go back soon to Edinburgh. I would love to see Dean's village in person - looks so quaint.


Alright gentlemen, I'm up for it. Let's do this.
P.S. My new has been changed to ByGrxce.

When The Crossroads Meets The Sunset Strip: The Heavy Heavy Hearts Interview
After a night of drinks, dancing, and onstage serenades, one thing is clear: The Heavy Heavy Hearts are not your average rock band. With instruments in hand, The Heavy Heavy Hearts appear charismatic and comfortable in the spotlight; offstage, they are four guys who enjoy teasing each other and chatting with concert-goers over drinks – preferably whiskey, the band's beverage of choice.
For a band still in its infancy, The Heavy Heavy Hearts are juggling a lot: their explosive debut EP Dirty Lies and the raw talents of lead singer/guitarist Beau James Wigington, drummer Ralph Alexander, lead guitarist Anthony Mancini and bassist Clark Singleton are one thing, but add licensing talks, label searches, and a love for live shows, and life in a band suddenly gets much busier. Still, playing the blues and having a good time doing so remains the band's Priority Number One, and as for the heartache, embarrassing moments, and small crowds they might face in the meantime? Well hey, that's just part of the journey.
There are a few things one doesn't necessarily expect to see or hear while attending a blues rock concert. For instance, listening to the bassist and guitarist tuning their instruments with Pink's "So What" riff before a set is not expected; neither is watching the lead vocalist sing freestyle karaoke to A-ha's "Take On Me" with a new fan after the show, or hearing band members admit to closeted Jeff Buckley obsessions. Yet during their first show in San Diego, CA at The Ruby Room, The Heavy Heavy Hearts unabashedly participated in these activities and so many others. Taken in stride with the group's Robert Johnson fascination, Mancini's behind-the-head guitar soloing, and Wigington's experience discovering the perfect riff after a moonlit night at "The Crossroads," The Heavy Heavy Hearts demonstrated that where it really counts, their blood runs blue.
While some artists play the blues, The Heavy Heavy Hearts live the blues. "Every song I write is based on a story," Wigington explained in a pre-show interview at The Ruby Room. "Beau isn't acting," Mancini added of the group's head songwriter. "Every single thing and every single song has happened." Determined to maintain their lyrics' emotional edge moving forward, the band is also struggling to identify their place in the Los Angeles blues scene currently on the rise. As the group's recurring southern roots sound indicates, not one band member claims their L.A. base as a hometown (Mancini hails from New York, while Wigington, Alexander and Singleton are from North Carolina); but rather than relocate to bluesy hotspots like Nashville or Austin, The Heavy Heavy Hearts prefer playing iconic venues like the Whisky A Go Go in L.A. where legends abound and priceless connections hide around every corner. "If you can make a splash in a city like L.A., if you can be a big fish in that big of a pond, that's a big deal," Mancini pointed out. "But we're happy there."
How did The Heavy Heavy Hearts initially come together?
Wigington: It started last July. I had set up to record a six song EP, it was just going to be a solo thing to use for licensing. I met Ralph earlier – I auditioned for a band, didn't make it, but I kept in contact with Ralph. I really liked playing with him, and he came in on the EP and knocked it out of the park. Anthony came in last-minute. I'd seen him in a band called Night On Fire and thought he was an awesome blues player, thought he'd be great for the EP. Clark – I used to be in a bluegrass band with him in North Carolina. He flew out to record on the EP. After the whole recording process, I was booked to play at the Whisky [Whisky A Go Go] the Wednesday after we finished, and Ralph was like, "Yeah, I'll play," and we asked Anthony and he was like, "Yeah." After that show, we really decided to make it a band, and we went through a few bass players before Clark finally moved out here from North Carolina.
What first inspired you to go into music?
Alexander: My mom and dad always listened to a lot of music. They always knew I wanted to play drums, but it took my mom a long time before she actually bought a drum set for me. She'd always say, "Try piano," or "Try violin." She wanted one of those kid prodigies that would play violin or something. But I always wanted drums, and finally she got me a drum set. But she always played music in the house. My dad was a big Clapton fan – he always listened to Clapton. If I hear anything Eric Clapton, I think of him. And my mom was very much into blues too, so it was always a house full of music for me.
Mancini: My dad's a blues player, and my grandfather's really into '50s and '60s rock. Blues has always been a really popular thing in my family for parties and stuff; if there's ever a family function, if it isn't classic rock playing, it's Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, Freddie King, Albert Collins. I grew up surrounded by it. Music always kind of came easy to me – like picking up the recorder when I was little in elementary school, and with high school bands. I played drums all through high school, and I picked up a guitar when I was a sophomore in high school. At first it was heavy metal, but obviously I was a big blues guy, so I kind of gravitated toward that. Been doing it ever since.
The Heavy Hearts performing live at the Ruby Room in San Diego, CA.
Wigington: I don't know how I got into music full-time, but I know the southern roots come from road trips. My dad would always have Lynyrd Skynyrd and Clapton and all that playing. My dad was a huge Clapton fan. I played in a band in high school – that was where I got my sense of how being in a band was so cool – and in college I got into another band. It has stuck with me for a long time. It's a way for me to get everything out that I'm afraid to say to other people without it being in a song.
Singleton: Both of my parents are music people. Both of them studied music, so I was always around it. I grew up playing drums in church; I played drums for a long time. I was always interested in playing and basically nothing else. Then I found bass, and I feel like that's really my voice, it's what I really want to play and how I communicate. I was just always around music, always trying to figure out how people did things in music; I couldn't not play.
The L.A. blues scene is pretty interesting right now. Do you play with a lot of other blues or blues rock bands?
Wigington: Have we ever played with another blues band?
Alexander: I don't think we have.
Mancini: We've only been a band since October, and with Clark only a month, but for the first time last night someone told us that we sounded very L.A. Blues. I've never been told that before.
Wigington: Yeah, we were like, "What is that?"
Mancini: We were like, "What is L.A. Blues?" I've never heard another L.A. Blues band. I mean, Philip Sayce is a friend of mine, but he's not even L.A. Blues because he plays in L.A. once every six months – he's in Europe all the time. So I don't know of any other blues bands in L.A. I think with anyone in L.A., the main objective is to get successful enough where you don't have to be in L.A.
Wigington: We play tons of shows where they're like, "What are you doing in L.A.? You should be in Austin, you should be in Nashville, you should be in Louisiana." And we're like, "Well, we're all here." I think if we can make a splash here…
Mancini: I think we made a conscious decision, too – if we move to Nashville, then there are a million bands in Nashville that would sound kind of like us. But in L.A. we stick out. It's funny to have a city like L.A., where it's the entertainment capital of the world, and there's a lot of indie music, you get a lot of today's hipster rock 'n roll, but you don't hear a lot of blues rock. At least not our brand of it – I don't even know what our brand of blues rock is. Maybe it is L.A. Blues. But we're happy in L.A. If you can make a splash in a city like L.A., if you can be a big fish in that big of a pond, that's a big deal.
Wigington: We're not the big fish yet.
Mancini: We're not the big fish. But we could be one. We could get there. Obviously any artist in L.A. has heard a million promises. We've heard some crazy ones.
How will the band's sound evolve moving forward?
Wigington: The EP was kind of a buckshot – there are six different sounds on the EP. We've found that we really enjoy playing the in-your-face bluesy type songs. We're working with a producer right now who's giving us tips. He really likes the intensity of the songwriting. There's a new song that we have that's unnamed, and it's pretty intense, it's a heart story; these guys are always like, "You need to keep telling these heart stories." I don't know how to describe it, but it'll be good.
Are there any stories behind your lyrics that you'd like to share?
Wigington: Every song I write is based on a story. They're pretty personal, but I guess it's already out there. The Dirty Lies title track was from a previous relationship that really went down south. They're pretty hard to share.
Alexander: The common joke we noticed at one point was, if you look at all the songs and the titles, they kind of tell the evolution of relationships.
Wigington: Yeah, if you look at the EP, it kind of tells my past three years. It starts off like madly in love with this girl, then things went south so it became the "pair of broken hearts," and I thought I had everything but "I lost it all," and then she told "dirty lies," hooked up with my best friend–
Mancini: You're a "lonely man," at the "bottom of the bottle."
Wigington: "Bottom of the Bottle" is a pretty personal one because I fancy whiskey a lot, and it was about that coming down to earth, that realization. That one's pretty heavy. That song is kind of abbreviated, too – there's a longer version that we'll hopefully release in the future. "Lonely Man" was written specifically for the studio. I was super lonely, and was just like, "I'm going to write a song about it, I want to meet a girl and have a good time."
Mancini: The process of writing our songs, nine times out of ten, or probably 99 times out of 100, will come from something that Beau's already written acoustically. Usually he'll have a night to himself, probably a couple things to drink and a whole lot of bad feelings going on, and he'll come up with a song about it. When that happens, the songs become incredibly personal. There are times when Beau will get offstage and we'll have to help him because of how affected he is by some of the songs. Some of them are so personal he doesn't want to play them. Those tend to be our best ones, so we kind of force him to play. The best part about Beau is, so many blues artists out there write stuff because that's what blues is supposed to sound like. They've probably never had any of those things happen to them, but they know what blues is supposed to be, so they'll do the best they can to act it. Beau isn't acting. Every single thing and every single song has happened; it's as bad as it sounds. He's up there and it's real, and he's singing it and it's real, and every time you listen to him sing you're like, "Yeah. That's real." That's the best part about our stuff. If you listen to The Black Keys or Gary Clark, Jr. or those types of guys, it's believable to me – it's how they sing it, the soul they have in there. But it's a lot different when we hear it coming from a dude who's probably about to break down if the song gets any sadder.
Wigington: I thought of a story with the EP. Our producer was pretty intense with trying to get me in the right mindset. I'm really happy with how the EP turned out because he really pushed me – like before "Dirty Lies," I had a conversation with the girl on the phone, and he had a bottle of Jack Daniels there on "Bottom of the Bottle." He had me take a shot after every vocal take – it was a lot. But I like getting as close to the issues as I can.
Do you have a dream venue?
Alexander: Saturday Night Live.
Wigington: We did say we wanted to play Saturday Night Live.
Mancini: How big a dream are we talking about? Because I could say the Troubadour.
Wigington: Yeah, we really want to play the Troubadour, that's our realistic goal for the next year. There's actually a really cool venue in England…I don't know the name of it, but I know it's an underground cave. I like the not-your-average venues, so that's mine – I'd like to play there.
What's next for The Heavy Heavy Hearts?
Wigington: We're just trying to play as much as we can, and hopefully we'll get licensing opportunities – that's the main thing. My roommate does custom paint jobs for motorcycles, and he's trying to get us involved in that culture. We're trying to get involved in the not average shows.
Do you have a favorite musical memory that stands out from recent days or from your childhood that you'd like to share?
Singleton: I've only been in L.A. for a month – I practiced the songs before I drove to L.A., but they had already been a band and already had other bass players. So my first night with them, I think it was during either "Bottom of the Bottle" or "Lonely Man," one of our heavier tunes – when it hit, it was right. The sounds were there, the tones were there, the attitude was there, and we were all just playing and enjoying it. You could tell that it was what needed to happen at that moment.
Wigington: I've been playing acoustic for almost two years, and I never even thought about what it could sound like with an entire band behind it. When I heard the first licks of "Dirty Lies," it blew my mind. The songs all sound way different acoustic than they do on the EP. Hearing the full band sound just made me say, "Oh – maybe we should try this out." I never thought my songs could sound like that.
Mancini: I had the opportunity to be Jonny Lang's escort for a couple days at a Grammy event. We were hanging out in his dressing room where he was warming up. He looked at me and he goes, "You're a player, aren't you?" And I go, "Yeah." And he goes, "Well, here," and he takes his guitar off and puts it on me. Jonny Lang was one of my biggest influences growing up, so I was just in heaven right there for a minute. That's a good musical memory.
Alexander: I entered a competition to get into school with a scholarship – that was my ticket to get out of North Carolina, because I couldn't afford to come out here. The five seconds before I went onstage, I knew it would change my life. It was a really heavy moment. I knew that if I blew it, I'd be back home flipping burgers for the rest of my life. If I didn't, I'd be out here, and I'd meet these guys.
Do you remember the name of the first album you ever purchased or were given as a gift?
Wigington: Green Day, Dookie. That was the first cassette tape I ever bought. My parents were like, "What is this?" It was pretty cool.
Mancini: I begged my mom to take me to the record store, and I bought Jonny Lang's Lie to Me. That was my first.
Alexander: The first album I ever bought was – this is how cool my mom is – she drove me to the record store and bought me Slayer's God Hates Us All album. She bought it for me; she went into the store – because I couldn't buy it, I was underage.
Singleton: I can't think of the first album I ever owned, but I remember the first time I fell in love with something that was music: it was "Good Times Bad Times" by Led Zeppelin. My dad sat me down; he was like, "You need to listen to this." I remember exactly where I was, what it looked like, what the chair looked like that I was sitting in, and I remember listening to it and thinking, "I have to know what's going on. I have to figure out what's going on to be able to communicate like this." From then on, it's been a puzzle, trying to figure out how music is made and how it affects people. And how John Bonham's foot does that!

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, on this day we listened to the Scripture passage, in which we continued the story told by St. Paul the Apostle to the Church and the faithful in Galatia. St. Paul told them how he came to be the Apostle of Christ, and how he conducted his ministry during the early years of his mission. He met with the other Apostles in Judea and Jerusalem, and he was affirmed in the mission by those Apostles who supported his efforts.
Yet, St. Paul did not have it easy throughout his mission, as he encountered difficult moments when he had to even go against the other Apostles at times, for their indecisiveness regarding the matter of the obligations for Christians to follow and obey the old law of the Jewish people, that is the laws of Moses. There were many among the Jews, especially among the Pharisees and the teachers who became believers of Christ, who wanted the imposition of Jewish traditions and practices in its entirety on the Christian faithful, even among those who were of non-Jewish or Gentile origin.
St. Paul disagreed with those who wanted such an imposition, and argued with them, and also with the some of the Apostles and elders of the Church who did not take a firm action against those who wanted such an irresponsible action and un-Christian attitudes to go on. The disciples and the Apostles therefore argued among themselves, and yet, whatever disagreements they must have had at that time, eventually through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, they overcame those differences.
What is the key, brothers and sisters in Christ? How did they overcome their issues and troubles? It is because they discerned carefully the will of God, and took into consideration their weaknesses and the challenges they encountered through prayer, that is through intimate and close relationship with God. They are in close relationship with God, following the example set before them by none other than the Lord Jesus Himself.
In the Gospel passage today, we heard how the Lord Jesus taught His disciples the prayer that He Himself made, directed to God His Father. Although He is indeed the Son of God, but this prayer is in fact the proof of the amazing love and closeness which He enjoyed with His Father in heaven. In His prayer, the Lord's Prayer or Pater Noster, we are reminded of the special relationship which we have with God, Who is our loving Father.
Through prayer, we help ourselves by quietening our minds and hearts, our senses and our entire being, and indeed, making ourselves closer to God. This is when we will be able to discern well what it is that God is willing to tell us in the depths of our hearts and in the deepest recesses of our minds. Otherwise, if we allow the noise of this world to overcome us, that is why we end up placing our own selfish needs and desires before our obligation to God.
We should instead reflect on the words of the Lord's Prayer, which we may have uttered frequently both during the Holy Mass and in our own devotions and prayers, but perhaps failed to understand or say it meaningfully. If we look through the words of the prayer, we will realise that first of all, our focus in this life, should be to centre ourselves on God and to put God's will above all else, and thank Him for all the good things He has done for us.
Are we able to refocus our attention to the Lord in this manner? In the same prayer, the Lord Jesus also asked His Father to forgive us mankind our sins, just as we have forgiven others who have sinned against us. This is how the Apostles were able to forgive one another their faults and return their focus to serve the greater glory of God. That is why we also need to do the same in our own lives, and in how we live up our own Christian lives.
Let us all turn our attention towards the Lord, and renew our commitment to live from now on, in the way and the path that God has shown us, and that we may become ever closer to Him, through prayer and through quality time spent with Him. May the Lord be with us and may He continue to guide us through this journey of life, that we may continue to glorify Him by our deeds, day after day. Amen.

"LA GARUA is a Blues-based Heavy Rock band with serious Pysch influences and a vintage sound heavily infused with smoke, booze and decadence. Formed in Lima in 2010 by Marcos Coifman (Reino Ermitaño), Chino Burga (La Ira de Dios) and newcomer Alonso Guerrero at the drums, LA GARUA drinks deep from the soul of it's grey city and pours it out in the way of classic 70's heavy blues rock, with a sound of its own that is also %100 South America. Sung in spanish, their first album "Panza de Burro Thunder Blues" is recommended for lovers of all things heavy and bluesy, trippy but raw. Spaceguitar flashbacks to the "Hacia El Sol Rojo" era by La Ira De Dios guranteed."

Is there a more elegant way to achieve this, esp. without referencing each column individually? My original sheet has much more columns.
