Beranda[Serbia]DECREPANCY Interview (Serbia)
DECREPANCY Interview (Serbia)
Answered By Andrija Marovic ( Guitars )
Update 20 April 2012 ?
Decrepancy was formed in the year 2004. Members of original line-up were: Igor Nikolic Gizma (vocals), Andrija Marovic (guitar) and Zoran Sokolovic (guitar) at that time also a member of the band Infest. As you may noticed, we had problems to find a drummer who will be able to play our songs. After we split ways with Petro (Sacramental Blood), with whom we did some rehearsals, we decided to find a permanent solution for the drummer. Then we met Djole who become our friend and consistent member of the line-up. Very soon after that, due to the personal problems, Zoran Sokolovic decided to leave the band. Before he made a decision to leave, we recorded a demo in home production. Instead of live drums on demo we used rhytam machine. The sound of demo was very raw so we decided not to spread copies into public. In winter 2008. Marko Radenkovic joins the band on bass guitar,so the bend was set for rehearsals again,after few months of rehearsing band had one gig.Very soon after Djole leaves band,and we faced another drummer problem.In summer of 2009. Dusan Milosevic Dule(ex.Infest), joins the crew,so we are almost complete.Again after few months of rehearsing we had another gig, after which Cvele joined the band on guitar,and finaly band is now how we imagined it. We have finished material for the whole album we are now recording it in Kragujevac in Wild Cat studio,if everything goes as planned it will be released in spring of 2010.
How did DECREPANCY form, and what were your influences? What made you choose to be a death metal band for Great Choosen till Now?
Decrepancy was formed in the year 2004 by high school friends Andrija and Gizma who shared the same taste for music. They were later joined by Zoran who already played in band Infest. At that time we were all into bands like Suffocation, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Death, Hypocrisy, Entombed, Vader and Hate. Beside death metal we were listening almost all metal genres but when we saw some death metal bands playing live we figured out that we want to play death metal.
Can I considered a Technical Death Metal with Old School Touching band. What are your thoughts on the term?
Yeah, you are partly right. We see our style as old school death metal with some touches of technicality, but you can simply call our style death metal.
Tell me For Upcoming CD , "Paralized Will " is a masterpiece that unites your past with a future direction I can't quite figure out. Were there additional influences or developments to your style? Where do you go from here?
In the past the bands we were listening were very influential on music we were composing and that can be heard in our older songs. Now we are trying to create our own unique style and to some extent we succeeded in doing that on "Paralyzed Will". The next release will sound as Decrepancy should sound from the beginning.
What if You compare it with Before Material since 2004?
Our older material was equivalent to age, skills and conditions that we possessed, but now we are not bounded by anything in producing the sound that we want.
How you can meet with No Label Records and agreed to Release CD "Paralized Will", does have a DECREPANCY Special Criteria for a Label Records to be released CD this Band?
We sent our material to No Label Records and soon after that an agreement of releasing the record was made. Regarding the record labels we have no special requirements, we just want them to be honest and professional.
How much guitar overdubbing and harmonization do you do in the studio? Is layering a necessity for the DECREPANCY formula to work properly?
As much as it takes for us to be satisfied. Basically, not too much time.
Will any lead guitar make an appearance on older tracks in a live setting now that you've established it as part of your vocabulary?
Of course! The solos may be little different than the ones recorded, but they won't be excluded. We have new guitarist Vojin Sarac and new drummer Nikola Milicevic who will improve our sound and make it more intense.
Is it important for death metal to be a genre of "respectable" skills, one that outsiders may not enjoy but can appreciate for its creative force?
We totally agree with you! Someone may not like the aesthetics of death metal but at the same time he may respect the complexity of music and skills of the musicians.
Like in the late 1970s, metal feels to many people like it has lost direction and become hollow. Is a change in direction needed, and if so, will that come from within metal?
In order to be original many bands tend to mix different genres and in our opinion that is the wrong way. What we think is needed is unique approach in making metal music. Nowadays it's very hard to be original because there are so many things already played and recorded by many bands. In the future we will tend to be almost completely narrative in our composition. There will be very few repetitive riffs in our songs.
I think many bands have great ideas for lyrics and concepts and metal in all forms really is very widely open to really any subject matter. Doesn't always have to deal with death and being bummed out, DECREPANCY Keep using Issues Theme From Life, Death, Socio-political Issues Till Now?
In our opinion the subject matter of death metal should be the so called dark side of life and anything that fits into that category. On the second album in our lyrics we are dealing with problems of pollution, men turned against nature, complexity of moral, human existence and inner struggle, contrary to our fist album where the focus was on the religion.
Can you tell me how the developments in Extreme Metal Music Movement on Serbia, Especially from Jagodina for Now? Any Recommend For New Name Here?? How Now with INZEST, SACRAMENTAL BLOOD, DISDAINED, DEFILEMENT, TERRORMACHINE, KRAMP, etc,are They STILL KICKIN ASS ??
Recently we had a gig with Infest in Jagodina and it was very well supported by the crowd. Also, there are some young bands that play extreme metal but they are far away from recording the album. The older bands like Sacramental Blood and Defilement are active and they are still kicking ass.
Any Plan Band for Upcoming Soon ??
We are planning to start the recording of the second album by the end of the year and we look forward for some gigs in a meantime.
Thanks for the truly great interview. I really enjoyed it and now have to give my hands a rest from typing!
Thank you for these great questions and we really enjoy it too. Cheers and Sta

[Serbia] * Death Metal Decrepancy


Bruce Springsteen (born September 23, 1949) is an American singer and songwriter, nicknamed "The Boss". He frequently recorded with The E-Street Band.
Bruce Frederick Springsteen was born born in Freehold, New Jersey, the firstborn child of Irish and Italian parents (Douglas, a bus driver, and Adele Zirilli Springsteen, a legal secretary). He began performing with the Bruce Springsteen Band and Steel Mill, after some early work. Before being discovered and gaining international notoriety, he performed regularly at "The Upstage," and other small Asbury Park, New Jersey nightclubs.
He began his recording career with the E Street Band in 1973. Upon signing a solo record deal with Columbia Records in 1972, Springsteen brought many of his New Jersey based musician friends into the studio with him, many of them forming the E Street Band. His debut album, Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J, from January 1973 established him as a critical favorite, though sales were slow. Manfred Mann's Earth Band later turned one song from this album, "Blinded By The Light," into a number one hit.
In Boston's The Real Paper May 22, 1974, music critic Jon Landau wrote, "I saw rock and roll's future, and its name is Bruce Springsteen. And on a night when I needed to feel young, he made me feel like I was hearing music for the very first time." (Landau later became Springsteen's manager). With the release of his album Born to Run in 1975, Springsteen made the covers of both Time Magazine and Newsweek the same week, on October 27 of that year. However, a legal battle with former manager Mike Appel kept Springsteen out of the studio for a while, and probably also contributed to the much more sombre 1978 album, Darkness on the Edge of Town.
Springsteen is probably best remembered for the multi-million selling Born in the U.S.A(1984), and the successful world tour that followed it. After this commercial peak, Springsteen released the much more sedate and contemplative Tunnel of Love (1987), a mature reflection on the many faces of love found, lost and squandered. It coincided with the breakup of his first marriage.
In 1992, after breaking up with most of the E Street Band (Roy Bittan remained), Springsteen released two albums simultaneously. Human Touch and Lucky Town were even more introspective than any of his previous work. Also different about these albums was the confidence he displayed. As opposed to his first two albums, which dreamed of happiness, and his next four, which showed him growing to fear it, these albums saw a finally satisfied and mature Springsteen.
A multiple Grammy Award winner, he also won an Academy Award in 1993 for his song "Streets of Philadelphia," which appeared in the soundtrack to the film Philadelphia.
In 1995, after temporarily re-organizing the E Street Band for a few new songs recorded for his first Greatest Hits album, he released his second solo guitar album, The Ghost of Tom Joad. In 1998, another precursor to the E Street Band's upcoming re-birth appeared in the form of a sprawling, four-disc box set of outtakes, Tracks.
In 2002, Springsteen released his first studio effort with the full band in 18 years, The Rising. The album, mostly a reflection on the September 11 Terrorist Attacks, was a critical and popular success, and hailed the return of "The Boss".

You have to feel for LAWSON'S FINEST LIQUIDS when it sought to register "CHINOOKER'D IPA," sailed through the examination process and was almost home free when the owner of a Yakima, WA winery filed an opposition and launched what turned out to be seven long years of litigation, all for the right to register and use what is now a well-established trademark for one of Vermont's flagship brewers.
"CHINOOKER'D," a play on words for snockered – and which, in this writer's view, could also be a play on words for "snookered," which can mean "being put in a difficult position" – also relates to the Chinook hops that provide the pine, citrus and bitterness-malt balance for which CHINOOKER'D IPA is known.
CHINOOK WINES, a small winery in the Pacific Northwest, owned two registered trademarks for the word "CHINOOK", one applied to wine and one applied to beer. As you will read below, the case resulted in Chinook Wines losing their trademark for CHINOOK beer and the case proceeded only on the CHINOOK mark for wine.
Chinook Wines challenged CHINOOKER'D IPA primarily with an argument that customers would confuse CHINOOKER'D IPA beer and CHINOOK wine, but they also advanced a tarnishment claim, arguing that CHINOOKER'D "has an undesirable and negative connotation of drunkenness," and so would likely tarnish the reputation of his brand. For wine. Don't get me wrong, tarnishment is a thing, specifically, a thing by which a trademark owner argues that the wholesomeness (or, in other cases, perception of quality) of his or her brand is likely to be diminished in the prospective consumer's mind by the tarnishing effect of something unsavory, like something involving sex & drugs & rock & roll. Except maybe not rock and roll, but drugs and sex, and especially sex. To prove dilution by tarnishment, the brand owner must first prove the mark to be famous. After Chinook Wines proved its fame (an open question) it would then have to show that the reference to drinking alcoholic beverages, or drinking a lot of an alcoholic beverage, would likely tarnish the sparkling and wholesome reputation of a maker of an alcoholic beverage and so damage the value of its mark. It's a stretch. But so was the precedential case on tarnishment, in which Victoria's Secret objected to Victor's Little Secret, which sold sex toys. Because, you know, heaven forbid anyone think Victoria's Secret has anything to do with s-e-x. In any case, Chinook Wines perhaps saw the humor in a wine maker objecting to an association with drinking, as they didn't advance the argument in any of their briefs and the claim was dropped early in the case. Too bad. Tarnishment claims are fun to write about.
So finally, last Friday, after so many years of litigation before the TTAB and then the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, Lawson's prevailed. The TTAB granted and the Federal Circuit affirmed Lawson's right to register the CHINOOKER'D IPA mark. The opposer's CHINOOK mark for beer is canceled, and CHINOOK wine carries on as before, with no likelihood of confusion between the two. Boom.
There are a few lessons to take from this saga.
Litigation can take forever. Plus a day. Not all oppositions last this long, even if they fail to settle and proceed to trial, but if both parties are committed to the marks they have invested in, a great deal of time and resources must be further invested to protect that valuable intellectual property. Here, the parties clearly determined they each had much to lose.
Oppositions can endanger the opposer's own mark. It is not uncommon for the challenged applicant to respond with a counterclaim to cancel the opposer's mark if a ground can be found, and here, it was. Through this litigation, Chinook lost its mark for beer, which it had registered, maintained and occasionally licensed to others since 1992. If you plan to oppose a trademark application that you believe would infringe on your mark if registered, make sure your mark is rock-solid and your priority can be documented before you proceed. Here, the TTAB found a few things that gutted Chinook's mark for beer: a) CHINOOK is a generic term for beer brewed with Chinook hops and would likely be fraudulent for beer not brewed with Chinook hops; b) Chinook likely never brewed beer under the Chinook name and only licensed the mark to Redhook Ale six or seven years later, after it had already abandoned the mark; and c) though the TTAB didn't have to decide whether it was so, it signaled that Chinook likely abandoned its rights when it failed to monitor the quality of the products produced under license. But none of this would likely have happened had the Washington wine maker not challenged CHINOOKER'D IPA. Had it not gone to the mat, it would likely still have its CHINOOK beer trademark from which its was (presumably) generating some royalty income.
Use it or lose it. It appears that notwithstanding Chinook's use-in-commerce filing basis in the 1992 trademark application, he may never have actually sold a beer under the mark. If true (it was not established, but neither was it refuted), this would be a fraud upon the USPTO. On top of that, for the three years that followed, it still did not use the mark. By this failure, he abandoned the trademark and was vulnerable to cancellation. The takeaway here is: use your trademark. Use it like a trademark and sell your stuff – all the stuff (or services) for which you registered the mark – under it. Trademarks are not intended to be a monopoly on language – they do not exist apart from the goods or services with which they are associated.
Monitor your licensees. The TTAB made only passing mention of Chinooks Wines' apparent failure to monitor production of beer under the mark they licensed to others because the TTAB canceled the mark for other reasons, but it still reminds us that when you license use of your trademark, you have a duty to monitor the quality of the goods being made under your name. Any license of your trademark should include, among other things, a right to inspect products from time to time and you should actually do it. Failure to monitor the quality of products produced under your mark could result in a complete loss of your trademark rights!
Beer and wine are usually found to be related for trademark purposes; for other alcoholic beverages, "It's complicated". The relationship of alcoholic beverages to one another for the purposes of trademark protection is a continuing issue for producers of beer, wine, cider, spirit, FMBs, other alcohol crafts. In this non-precedential case (ie, it doesn't set a rule for other cases to follow), the TTAB found beer and wine to be related goods. In other cases, particularly involving other pairings, it may be less clear as it will depend on the information specific to that case.
Ultimately, the CHINOOK / CHINOOKER'D IPA case came down to whether CHINOOK for wine and CHINOOKER'D for beer were sufficiently similar to cause the average beer- and wine-buying consumer to think the two products come from same source or are in some way associated. The TTAB decided they were not similar. Although "CHINOOKER'D," incorporates the whole of "CHINOOK" and is therefore similar in appearance and sound when spoken aloud, the two marks have an entirely different connotation and, therefore, a different "commercial impressions." The opposer's mark, for wine, suggests the Pacific Northwest and, in that territory, consumers would more likely think of the indigenous (Chinook) people of the region, a warm dry wind known locally as the Chinook wind, or the region's famous variety of salmon. Lawson's mark, on the other hand, is a play on words representing "getting snockered (i.e., drunk) on a beer made from Chinook hops," which has nothing to do with – and its New England buying public wouldn't likely think of – the Chinook people, Chinook wind, or Chinook salmon. In addition, as both products are, in practice, marketed in separate regions, the consumers who have these regional associations wouldn't likely encounter the products of the other. Finally, as the TTAB found that Chinook is generic for beer made with Chinook hops, only a mark that goes beyond the bare word "Chinook" will be distinctive enough to be protectable. In this case, Lawson's CHINOOKER'D IPA passed the test.

Here's where 1,000 new homes could be built near Crawley's border
Sussex soldier killed by friendly fire
A solider with the '˜heart of a lion' who served in Afghanistan in 2013 was killed by friendly fire.
Thursday, 10th March 2016, 6:39 pm
Updated Thursday, 7th June 2018, 6:31 pm
Lance Corporal James Brynin of the Intelligence Corps was killed in action in Helmand province, Afghanistan, ENGSUS00320131017090808
Lance Corporal James Brynin, of Spiro Close, Pulborough, an Intelligence Corps soldier attached to 14th Signal Regiment (Electronic Warfare), was deployed to Helmand in August 2013.
The 22-year-old soldier was shot during an operation on October 15, 2013, in the area of Kakaran, north east of Lashkar Gah.
Major Thomas Armitage, who was coordinating the operation, said it came as a 'complete surprise' when he found out L/Cpl Brynin died as a result of friendly fire.
"I'm absolutely clear we were under fire from the enemy," he said.
"It was my very strong view that it [the attack] was coming from an area to the south or south east."
Officials discovered the shot which killed L/Cpl Brynin came from another unit in January 2014.
An inquest into his death began today (March 10) at Edes House in Chichester.
His father, Efram Brynin said James, a former Steyning Grammar School pupil, was a quick learner and 'extremely alert'.
He said his son had a 'passion' for sport and an ambition to join the army.
"It seems unfair to us that James could be taken from us in this way," he said.
"He would never approach anything in a half-hearted way. James was recognised for his bravery on the day he died. As a family we are very grateful for that."
Following his death, L/Cpl Brynin's family said he had the 'heart of a lion' and would never be forgotten.
Mr Brynin criticised the Ministry of Defence for the way it handled the investigation into James' death.
"The bureaucracy of the MOD is extremely hard to deal with," he told the inquest.
"We trusted him to the army and one of their soldiers killed him. It is bad enough to lose a child. It is incredibly difficult to lose your child at the hands of one of his colleagues."
L/Cpl Brynin was an intelligence analyst working for Light Electronic Warfare Team (LEWT) within the Brigade Reconnaissance Force (BRF) of 7th Armoured Brigade.
He was part of an operation which deployed from Camp Bastion in the early hours of October 15.
The section entered a compound as part of a mission to gain intelligence on reports Taliban insurgents were in possession of a rocket – an imminent threat to the Afghan population and the International Security Assistance Force.
Major Armitage, of the Household Calvary, said the section came under fire after it left a compound, where the troops had been gathering intelligence.
The company was following a line of trees, moving through a ditch along a field boundary in a bid to move north.
"If we are under fire we would return fire and take cover," said Major Armitage.
"I would have expected them to take cover somewhere along that tree line."
Major Armitage told the inquest he thought he had made it clear to the other sections in the area about the direction the section was travelling.
However he heard a call from Corporal Maloney over the radio saying 'man down'.
He told the inquest he alerted everyone involved that there had been a casualty and had relied on medics to attend to L/Cpl Brynin.
"It is my job to keep everyone on track," he added. "I knew people were coming to assist with the situation. I was confident they were able to manage that."
The inquest heard the fatal shot came from Lance Corporal of Horse (LCoH) Kelly, who is set to give evidence to the inquest next week.
Major Armitage said: "Unfortunately I didn't really have a chance to get to know him [L/Cpl Brynin]. I operated on the ground with him a little bit.
"From what I can gather and talking to people afterwards, he certainly played a key part in terms of what he did in the compound and the advice and support he provided within the LEWT was first rate."
Counsel for the family questioned Major Armitage over the safety measures and procedures which would have been considered during the operation, including positive identification, self defence and rules of engagement, communication and the chain of command.
Captain Daniel Wall, an infantry-trained soldier in the intelligence unit, told senior commanders he thought it was 'wrong' for the operation to be conducted in this way.
He said the threat from the enemy could have been dealt with using other means which would have presented 'less risk' than having boots on the ground.
"When you present intelligence information to the command it is entirely their decision how to prosecute or act.
"The army is not a democracy and it is completely within the rights of the command," he told the inquest.
The hearing into the death of L/Cpl Brynin's continues.

If we look up, this way or that, everywhere it is star-spangled. If we only look down, there will never be stars. (Japanese poem, 159.) For the ideal seek the high; for the practice, honour the low.

Since all that beat about in Nature's range,
Or veer or vanish; why shouldst thou remain
The only constant in the world of change,
Oh yearning thought! That livedst but in the brain?
Call to the hours, that in the distance play,
The faery people of the future day –
Fond thought! Not one of all that shining swarm
Will breath on thee with life-enkindling breath,
Till when, like strangers sheltering from a storm,
Hope and Despair meet in the porch of Death! …//
And art thou nothing? Such thou art, as when
The woodman winding westward up the glen
At wintry dawn, where o'er the sheep-track's maze
The viewless snow-mist weaves a glistening haze,
Sees full before him, gliding without tread,
An image with a glory round its head;
And the enamoured rustic worships its fair hues,
Nor knows he makes the shadow he pursues.
Coleridge, "Constancy to an ideal object", in Sybelline Leaves. First and last stanzas.
It is the real that is rich in unworked resources: the ideal is as insubstantial as light.
Blackham, H J, Objections to Humanism (Pelican, 1965), 9.
Such persons [the 'over [self-] cultivated'] are, without us, what the ideal of perfections is within us: models not for being imitated but for being aimed at.

IDEAL AND PLEASURE
It seems to me that I enjoyed the pleasure of existence more completely and I lived more fully when my emotions were so to speak concentrated around my heart by my destiny and could not go spreading themselves over all the things prized by men, things that are of so little value in themselves, though they form the sole occupation of the people we regard as happy.

Ideas… would hardly be such strong agents unless they were taken in a solvent of feeling. The great world-struggle of developing thought is continually foreshadowed in the struggle of the affections, seeking a justification for love and hope.
Eliot, George, Romola (Penguin, 1980), 527.
All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, till they take root in our personal experience.
Goethe (attrib.)
IDEAS, FIXED
Ninety-nine percent of suffering isn't caused by natural disasters like earthquakes, it's caused by the ideas we hold. And if we believe these ideas are absolute truths then we suffer and we force other people to suffer. But if we understand that our ideas are ideas we have created, then we know we're free to change them.

There is no greater hatred in the world than the hatred of ignorance for knowledge.
Galileo, in Great Quotations (Readers Digest, 1978), 23.
Life knows us not and we do not know life – we don't even know our own thoughts. Half the words we use have no meaning whatever and of the other half each man understands each word after the fashion of his own folly and conceit. Faith is a myth, and beliefs shift like mists on the shore; thoughts vanish; words, once pronounced, die; and the memory of yesterday is as shadowy as the hope of tomorrow.
Conrad, Joseph (Letter, quoted Guardian Review, 1/12/07, 4).
IGNORANCE AS VICE
On the whole, men are more good than bad; that, however, isn't the real point. But they are more or less ignorant, and it is that we call vice or virtue; the most incorrigible vice being that of an ignorance which fancies it knows everything and therefore claims for itself the right to kill.

IGNORING HARSH REALITIES see SUFFERING OF LIFE, 2/01
To be a man was to be ailing. Man was essentially ailing, his state of unhealthiness was what made him a man. There were those who wanted to make him 'healthy,' to make him 'go back to nature,' when the truth was, he had never been 'natural.'… it was the spirit alone that distinguished man, as a creature largely divorced from nature, largely opposed to her in feeling, from all other forms of organic life. … the more ailing he was, by so much was he the more man. The genius of disease was more human then the genius of health. … all progress, in so far as there was such a thing, was due to illness, and to illness alone. In other words, to genius, which was the same thing. Had not the normal, since time was, lived on the achievements of the abnormal? Men consciously and voluntarily descended into disease and madness, in search of knowledge which, acquired by fanaticism, would lead back to health… [The odious Jesuit, Naphta, is speaking.]

IMAGES, SPIRITUAL
I… had helped myself by keeping my fancy always full of images, which had some reference to God… for noxious images and the painful consequences are by that means kept away. Often, too, our spirit seizes one or other of these spiritual images, and mounts with it a little way upwards, like a young bird fluttering from twig to twig.
I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections, and the truth of Imagination. What the Imagination seizes as beauty must be Truth… The Imagination may be compared to Adams dream; – he awoke and found it truth.
Keats (Letter, 1817).
No, no, nothing in the world can one imagine beforehand, not the least thing. Every occurrence is made up of so many separate details that cannot be foreseen. They are passed over in the act of imagining, which takes place so rapidly that one does not notice they are lacking. But the realities are slow and indescribably detailed. [The context is his father's corpse.]
Rilke, R M, The Notebook of Malte Laurids Brigge (Oxford, 1984, first edition in 1910), 151.
In the heart of childhood there will for ever spring up a well of innocent and wholesome superstition – the seeds of exaggeration will be busy there, and vital – from everyday forms educing the unknown and the uncommon. In that little Goshen there will be light, when the grown world flounders about in the darkness of sense and materiality. While childhood, and while dreams reducing childhood, shall be left, imagination shall not have spread her holy wings totally to fly the earth. [Educing here means bringing back.]
Lamb, Charles, Elia (1823), 203.
To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And reverie.
The reverie alone will do,
If bees are few.
Dickinson, Emily.
Great marvels in truth are these, but tales told and overlaid with an elaboration of lies amaze men's wits against the true word.
Pindar, Ode: "Olympia 1", translated by Raymond Lattimore, in L Casson (Ed), Classical Age (Dell, New York, 1965).
Whatever may have been the case in years gone by, the true use for the imaginative faculty of modern times is to give ultimate vivification to facts, to science and to common lives, endowing them with the glows and glories and final illustriousness which belong to every real thing, and to real things only.
Whitman, Walt, "A Backward Glance over Troubled Waters".
St.-Exupery, Flight to Arras.
I was thinking the other day about people who claim that visual images and even 'visualisation' is of no particular interest to them – what happens at death when the contents of one's 'imagination' is liberated from the anchoring ballast of physical existence and conventionality?– surely it's best to work with it prior to that onslaught? It's not that difficult, it's just a matter of finding one's own particular 'key'.
Aloka, Shabda, July 2012, 3.
Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire; you will what you imagine; and at last you create what you will.
Shaw, G B (Recalled on his death.).
IMAGINATION AND KNOWLEDGE
Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.
Einstein, in "What Life Means to Einstein," Saturday Evening Post, 26/10/1929.
IMAGINATION AS REGULATOR
Their imaginations insisted that nobody changed much from day to day. Their imaginations were flywheels on the ramshackle machinery of the awful truth.
Vonnegut, Kurt, Breakfast of Champions (Vintage, 2000, 1st ed 1973). 142.
IMAGINATION, THE MOMENT OF
There is a moment in each day that Satan cannot find
Nor can his watch-fiends find it; but the industrious find
This moment and it multiply. And when it once is found
It renovates every moment of the day if rightly placed. (Plate 35.)
Every time less than a pulsation of the artery
Is equal in its period and value to 6000 years.
For in this period the poet's work is done and all the great
Events of time start forth and are conceived in such a period,
Within a moment, a pulsation of the artery. (Plate 29.)
Blake, Milton.
IMAGINATIVE IDLENESS
By turning away from the world to be perceived, we develop an imaginative idleness which spreads a sickness and lassitude over the whole soul, and all vices spring from this. Its does not matter whether the sickness is expressed inwardly or outwardly. Murder is obviously an expression of the same death-impulse that suicide is, and all evil acts are more or less murderous…
Frye, Northrop, Fearful Symmetry (Princeton, 1947), 56.
Behind all seen things lies something vaster; everything is but a path, a portal or a window opening on something other than itself. … therefore… build a temple that is 'useless'…, solely for the greatening of men's hearts and the tranquillising of the senses and for Time that ripens.
St.-Exupery, The Wisdom of the Sands (Hollis and Carter, 1952) 78.
IMMERSION IN THE WORLD
In his early masterpiece, Being and Time, first published in 1927, Heidegger set forth a bold challenge to the conventional picture of the human being that, in his view, had held sway in philosophy at least since Descartes if not long before. According to this picture, the human being confronts the external world as a disengaged thinker or res cogitans. Knowledge of the world is therefore a matter of correct representation, and truth is essentially a correspondence between an external state of affairs and one's representation of that state of affairs within the confines of one's own consciousness. Heidegger objected to this picture not only because he felt it was bad epistemology but, more importantly, because he felt it was bad metaphysics. It splits reality in two, placing the mind on one side and the world on the other, and then makes representation do the work of bridging the divide. //
Heidegger proposed instead that philosophy should take as its cue our everyday commerce with worldly things. When I wield a hammer, my knowledge of that hammer is not primarily a matter of how it is represented or conceived; it is an implicit know-how that animates my action and embraces its elements all at once: the weight of the tool, the heft of the wood, my care in the work, and so forth. This everyday kind of purposeful involvement motivates a general picture of the human being as already immersed in its world. To emphasize the this-worldly character of such immersion Heidegger uses the term Dasein (which is simply the German word for existence). Dasein is not consciousness but rather "being-in-the-world." It is an ongoing event that is thrown into time and can only come upon itself as it presses forward into its own possibilities.
Gordon, Peter E, 'Heidegger in Black', New York review of Books, 9/10/14.
This life, which seems so fair,
Is like a bubble blown up in the air
By sporting children's breath,
Who chase it everywhere
And strive who can most motion it bequeath.
And though it sometimes seem of its own might
Like to an eye of gold to be fix'd there,
And firm to hover in that empty height,
That only is because it is so light.
— But in that pomp it does not long appear;
For when 'tis most admired, in a thought,
Because it first was nought, it turns to nought.
Drummond, William.
Ah! Thel is like a wat'ry bow and like a parting cloud;
Like a reflection in a glass; like shadows in the water;
Like dreams of infants, like a smile upon an infants face;
Like the dove's voice; like transient day; like music in the air.
Blake, the Book of Thel, Plate 1.
Leave me, oh love, which reaches but to dust;
And thou, my mind, aspire to higher things;
Grow rich in that which never taketh rust;
Whatever fades but fading pleasure brings.
Sidney, Sir Philip, Astrophel and Stella, Sonnet cx: 'Splendidis longum valedico nugis'.
Look thy last on all things lovely,
Every hour – let no night
Steal thy sense in deathly slumber
Till to delight
Thou hast paid back utmost blessing;
Since that all things thou wouldst praise
Beauty took from those who left them
In other days.
de la Mare, Walter, "Farewell," iii.

Hughes, Richard, "The Walking Road", in Oxford Book of Modern Verse, 1939 edition, 391.
… We decay
Like corpses in a charnel; fear and grief
Convulse us and consume us day by day,
And cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay. …
[we – by implication] when the spirit's self has ceased to burn,
With sparkless ashes load an unlamented urn.
Shelley, from "Adonais".
Man is in love with what vanishes.
Yeats, quoted by Ananda.
There is something in the pang of change
More than the heart can bear.
Euripides, Iphigenia in Tauris (circa 414-12 BCE).
The experience of oneself relating to other things is actually a momentary discrimination, a fleeting thought. If we generate these fleeting thoughts fast enough, we can create the illusion of continuity and solidity. … [… like movie frames]… So we build up an idea, a preconception, that self and other are solid and continuous. And once we have this idea, we manipulate our thoughts to confirm it, and are afraid of any contrary evidence. It is this fear of exposure, this denial of impermanence, that imprisons us. It is by acknowledging impermanence that there is a chance to die and the space to be reborn and the possibility of appreciating life as a creative process.
Trungpa, Chogyam (in Marcus Mendez' quotes pamphlet, Out of the Blue, 12/92).
Cities and Thrones and Powers
Stand in Time's eye,
Almost as long as flowers,
Which daily die:
But, as new buds put forth
To glad new men,
Out of the spent and unconsidered Earth
The Cities rise again.//
This season's Daffodil,
She never hears
What change, what chance, what chill,
Cut down last years';
But with bold countenance,
And knowledge small,
Esteems her seven days continuance
To be perpetual.//
So Time that is o'er kind
To all that be,
Ordains us even as blind,
As bold as she:
That in our very death,
And burial sure,
Shadow to shadow, well persuaded saith,
'See how our works endure!'
Kipling, "Cities, Thrones and Powers", in 1954 Palgrave.
All things are corruptible. All things are generable.
Newton, Isaac, quoted Guardian Review, 30 Aug 2003.
Pure pleasure, pure contentment, always curls around a small sad centre because you know there is nothing permanent. Even as you look at a river, it flows on to become something else. A shadow of cloud on the stream changes minute by minute. Even as you hold the water in your cupped hands, it trickles out.

IMPERMANENCE, REALITY AS
Human beings… inhabit their worlds within the horizon of time: they inherit traditions from the past, project themselves into the future, and die. Heidegger's reasoning is that, if Being only reveals itself in human worlds, and those are shaped by temporality, then Being must be dependent on time, too. And that would mean that Being has no other meaning than temporality – the unfolding of things in time.
Heidegger, paraphrased by Mark Lilla, New York Review of Books, 2 December 1999, 25.

In the Burrows of the Nightmare
Where Justice Naked is,

I have never had need for companionship unless it was the companionship of someone I could call a friend. Certainly I have seldom wished the conversation of strangers or the sight of strange faces. I believe rather that when I was alone I felt I had in some fashion lost my individuality; to the thrush and the rabbit I had been not Severian, but Man. The many people who like to be utterly alone, and particularly to be utterly alone in a wilderness, do so, I believe, because they enjoy playing that part. But I wanted to be a particular person again, and so I sought the mirror of other persons, which would show me that I was not as they were.

Emboldened by his [Cuvier's] gaze into the past, this petty race, children of yesterday, can overstep chaos, can raise a psalm without end, and outline for themselves the story of the Universe in an Apocalypse that reveals the past. After the tremendous resurrection that takes place at the voice of this man, the little drop in the nameless Infinite, common to all the spheres, that is ours to use, and that we called Time, seems to us a pitiable moment of life. We ask ourselves the purpose of our triumphs, our hatreds, our loves, overwhelmed as we are by the destruction of so many past universes, and whether it is worthwhile to accept the pain of life in order that hereafter we may become an intangible speck.

"A Spell for Sleeping"
Sweet William, silverweed, sally my handsome.
Dimity darkens the pittering water.
On gloomed lawns wanders a king's daughter.
Curtains are clouding the casement windows.
A moon-glade smurrs the lake with light.
Doves cover the tower with quiet.//
Three owls whit-whit in the withies.
Seven fish in a deep pool shimmer.
The princess moves to the spiral stair.//
Slowly the sickle moon mounts up.
Frogs hump under moss and mushroom.
The princess climbs to her high hushed room.//
Step by step to her shadowed tower.
Water laps the white lake shore.
A ghost opens the princess' door.//
Seven fish in the sway of the water.
Six candles for a king's daughter.
Five sighs for a drooping head.
Four ghosts to gentle her bed.
Three owls in the dusk falling.
Two tales to be telling.
One spell for sleeping.//
Tamarisk, trefoil, tormentil.
Sleep rolls down from the clouded hill.
The princess dreams of a silver pool.//
The moonlight spreads, the soft ferns flitter.
Stilled in a shimmering drift of water,
Seven fishes dream of a lost king's daughter.

[In the concentration camps] to survive as a man, not a walking corpse, as a debased and degraded but still human being, one had first and foremost to remain informed and aware of what made up one's personal point of no return beyond which one would never, under any circumstances, give in to the oppressor, even if it meant risking and losing one's life. It meant being aware that if one survived at the price of overreaching this point one would be holding on to a life that had lost all meaning. It would mean surviving – not with lowered self-respect, but without any. [When one was not faced with this ultimate question, one had to comply with debasing commands – but keeping fully aware of the nature of one's acts, keeping a minimum distance from one's behaviour, with freedom to feel differently about it.]
Bettelheim, Bruno, quoted by Auden.
On rational grounds, the argument is only too easy to confute [argument in the whole Wordsworth poem extracted below]; it is, indeed, one of the recurring fallacies of all so-called returns to nature that the human intellect is used to argue against the human intellect. The same fallacy was repeated half a century later by the American Whitman, and in the 20th-century by D H Lawrence.

INTELLECT AND EMOTION
We get philistines saying that if we add any enthusiasm about beauty to a perception of things, it will blur the clarity with which we see them; while the sentimental assert that the warm blooded mammalian emotional perception which tenderly suckles its images is superior to the reptilian intellectual who lays cold abstract eggs. This last is a point of view with which Blake's is often confused.
… No one can begin to think straight unless he has a passionate desire to think and an intense joy in thinking. … [the tree] is more real to the man who throws his entire imagination behind his perception than to the man who cautiously tries to prune away different characteristics from that imagination and isolate one.

[Gurdjieff describes a sort of Russian roulette, replacing a duel with a teenage rival in love. They lay in a firing range, with shells exploding all around. Stupefaction led to intense feeling, which led to them, at each moment, thinking and experiencing more than in a year. Then, for the first time, 'the whole sensation of myself', growing stronger. A strong consciousness of death led to an unconquerable living terror… Because of this, he was later unperturbed by life questions in which 'exclusively my own interests were at stake'. This prevented him from acknowledging or experiencing any but authentic fears, but allowed him to empathise with another's fear.]

Williams, Hugo, quoted Guardian Review, 21/09/02, 25.
Nor knowest thou what argument
Thy life to thy neighbour's creed has lent.
All are needed by each one;
Nothing is fair or good alone.
Emerson, from "Each and All".
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibres connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibres, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.
Melville, Herman, in Marcus Mendez' quotes pamphlet, Out of the Blue, December 1992.
What man most passionately wants is his living wholeness and his living unison, not his own isolate salvation of his "soul". Man wants his physical fulfilment first and foremost, since now, once and once only, he is in the flesh and potent. For man, the vast marvel is to be alive. For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. Whatever the unborn and the dead may know, they cannot know the beauty, the marvel of being alive in the flesh. The dead may look after the afterwards. But the magnificent here and now of life in the flesh is ours, and ours alone, and ours only for a time. We ought to dance with rapture that we should be alive in the flesh, and part of the living, incarnate cosmos. I am part of the sun as my eye is part of me. That I am part of the earth my feet know perfectly, and my blood is part of the sea. My soul knows that I am part of the human race, my soul is an organic part of the great human soul, as my spirit is part of my nation. In my own very self, I am part of my family. There is nothing of me that is alone and absolute except my mind, and we shall find that the mind has no existence by itself, it is only the glitter of the sun on the surface of the waters.
So that my individualism is really an illusion. I am part of the great whole, and I can never escape. But I can deny my connections, break them, and become a fragment. Then I am wretched.
What we want is to destroy our false, inorganic connections, especially those related to money, and re-establish the living organic connections, with the cosmos, the sun and earth, with mankind and nation and family. Start with the sun, and the rest will slowly, slowly happen.
Lawrence, D H, Apocalypse, XXIII.
All things weave themselves into a whole.
Goethe, in Great Writings of Goethe (New American Library, 1977), 6.
The 'Tree Igdrasil' buds and withers by its own laws, – too deep for our scanning. Yet it does bud and wither, and every bough and leaflet is there, by fixed eternal laws; not a Sir Thomas Lucy but comes at the hour fit for him. Curious, I say, and not sufficiently considered: how where everything does co-operate with all; not a leaf rotting on the highway but is an indissoluble portion of solar and stellar systems; no thought, word or act of man but has sprung withal out of all men, and works sooner or later, recognisably or irrecognisably, on all men! It is all a Tree: circulation of sap and influences, mutual communication of every minutest leaf with the lowest talon of a root, with every other greatest and minutest portion of the whole. The Tree of Igdrasil, that has its roots down in the kingdoms of Hela and Death, and whose boughs overspread the highest Heaven!
Carlyle, "The Hero As Poet. Dante; Shakespeare (1840)". In Jones, English Critical Essays, 283.
I am part of the sun as my eye is part of me. That I am part of the earth my feet know perfectly and my blood is part of the sea. There is not any of me that is alone and absolute except my mind, and we shall find that the mind has no existence by itself, it is only the glitter of the sun on the surfaces of the water.
Lawrence, D H, in Marcus Mendez' quotes pamphlet, Out of the Blue, December 1992.
'Where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also' [said Jesus] – the object of your love is your God.
Lavater, Aphorism 14.
One of the chief architects of the atomic bomb, so the story runs, was out wandering in the woods one day with a friend when he came upon a small tortoise. Overcome with pleasurable excitement, he took up the tortoise and started home, thinking to surprise his children with it. After a few steps he paused and surveyed the tortoise doubtfully.
'What's the matter?' asked his friend. Without responding, the great scientist slowly retraced his steps is precisely as possible, and gently set the turtle down upon the exact spot from which he had taken him up.
Then he turned solemnly to his friend. 'It just struck me,' he said, 'that perhaps for one man, I have tampered enough with the universe.' He turned, and left the turtle to wander on its way.
Eiseley, Loren, The Firmament of Time, 148.
[In a mature contemplation of nature…]
I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the rounded ocean and the living air
And the blue sky and the mind of man:
A motion and a spirit that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things…
Wordsworth, from "…Tintern Abbey".

Immediate Revelation being a much easier way for Men to establish their Opinions, and regulate their Conduct, than the tedious and not always successful Labour of strict Reasoning, it is no wonder, that some have been very apt to pretend to Revelation. And to perswade themselves, that they are under the peculiar guidance of Heaven in their Actions and Opinions, especially in those of them, which they cannot account for by their ordinary Methods of Knowledge, and Principles of Reason.

Sete Marina is located in Languedoc-Roussillon.
Languedoc – Roussillon, also known as Lengadoc – Rosselhon in Occitan and Llenguadoc – Rossello in Catalan, is an important region of France that is located in the southern side of the country, having an exit to the Mediterranean Sea. This region is comprised of five departments: Audee, Gard, Herault, Lozere and Pyrenees-Orientales. It is the favourite destination of those who are in love with nature and its most popular cities are Montpellier, Carcassonne, Nimes, Perpignan, Cap D'Agde and Argeles-sur-Mer.
Those who have never been to Languedoc-Roussillon should know that this is a picturesque land, where music, literature and wine form the best combination and represent the definition of the quality time. The region of Languedoc-Rousillon played an important role on the timeline of French history. According to archaeological evidence, these lands were inhabited long before the Greeks and other civilisations existed. Many discoveries regarding the existence of this territory were made recently and point that humans were present in Languedoc thousands of years before our generation. The Greek and Phoenician people have arrived on the French territory in 600 BC, when they began to trade. The first establishment of these civilizations was called Agde. The Celts, Romans, Vandals and Visigoths attacked and occupied it during a period of time of more than a millennium. The ancient ruins are still standing and can be admired by the curious visitors of Languedoc, proving that history cannot be erased.
This French region abounds of natural treasures and hidden gems that are worth visiting by the travellers' who decide to have a magnificent journey on this side of the country. It is difficult to define the most beautiful areas of Languedoc-Rousillon, but there are a few places in this area that should not be missed. Le Canal du Midi, which is the oldest canals was built in the 17th century and has been included on UNESCO's World Heritage Site List, is one of the greatest places that combine nature with history. Also, Les Cevennes, the imposing mountains with impressive caves, the coast which is filled with wonderful beaches, marinas and high cliffs and Gorges du Tarn which form a sublime landscape, are natural attractions, unique reservations and worth seeing places.
The city of Montpellier is an impressive, old city that has gained respect and appreciation through time and represents a major touristic attraction of Languedoc. The travellers will have the opportunity to visit spectacular buildings and admire great works of architecture. Some of the main landmarks in Montpellier are Place de la Comedie, Porte de Peyrou, Le Corum or Aquadukt Saint Clement. This city represents the peak of the cultural environment and prides itself with the Cathedrale St. Pierre, Esplanade d'Europe, Basilique Notre-Dame-des-Tables, La Panacee, Chateau de la Mogere, Aqueduct de Castries, Citadelle and many others. The museums play an important role in sharing the ancient knowledge with the travellers and the rarest collections can be seen at Musee Fabre, Musee Villa Loupian, Le Pavillon Populaire, Carre Sainte-Anne and others. The tourists can also choose to spend their time while walking and admiring the Jardin des Plantes or Domaine d'O.
Active tourism is preferred by most of the tourists who are looking to spend their vacations in Languedoc-Roussillon, thanks to the perfect weather conditions during the summertime. Therefore, the visitors of this region are encouraged to participate to the wine tours, food tours, to dive, to hike or to practice nautical sports. There is an endless list of incredible locations where the water sports can be practiced and the relaxing state of mind can be reached. Argeles sur Mer, Banyuls sur Mer, Canet en Roussillon, Collioure, Gruissan, Leucate-La Franqui or Le cap d'Agde are just a few of the most fascinating places on the seaside.
Everyone is welcome to spend a distinguished vacation on the shores of the Mediterranean, within the outstanding mountain levels or within the romantic, picturesque cities.

Do you think they might ever offer something similar in English? I'm a certified death midwife, hoping to work in hospice, home funerals, grief counseling, etc. in Ecuador, but have only been studying Spanish for one year. I figured I will focus on the expats in the beginning.

Are you kidding me!!!???? BMCC professionals not saying anything about the AMPP crazies!???
Shame, Shame, Shame! on AMPP and even the BMCC for staying silent while protective mothers and advocates suffer under AMPP's abuse.
I have respect for Lundy PMA and Janice. What AMPP is doing is horrible. The BMCC not saying anything makes me not want to go. I will not be going to the BMCC . My mom friends are not going either.
This is really very sad that YOU choose to set the battered mother's movement back with your petty hate and contempt.
A.T.W simply gathers facts backed up with documented proof and present it to our readers. All our readers are invited to submit any official documentation to dispute or support our research. We are not responsible for others' actions or lack thereof.
You have called out several protective mothers here on your blog and on several of those cases you have not provided one iota of paperwork in their own cases to prove that they are abusive. I know of several moms who are NOT abusive and yet you still point the finger at them saying they are. Go back through your posts and prove that every single woman you have featured on this blog is abusive to their child or their ex and I will eat my words. I know for a fact you cannot do that.
Jane; It seems we have a breakdown of communication here. The main theme of A.T.W's posts- so far- is the intense cyber-bullying by a small minority of people towards some professionals, groups and advocates within the victim's advocacy movement. Cyber-bullying is considered abuse, therefore those who cyber-bully are abusers. Our posts have provided much documented proof of the abusive cyber-bullying. We are not researching individual court cases or child abuse complaints at this time. In the case of Maria Melinn, we commented on her lack of concern about her children's privacy and safety online along with her ignoring her children's request, to stop. A.T.W provided proof on this issue, along with a link to find even more. All our readers are invited to provide documented proof supporting or refuting our posts.
Hi!,I have a lot of respect for Lundy Bancroft, PMA ,and Janice Levinson. This trashing of them by AMPP is horrible. The fact that other BMCC professionals allow this to happen is even more horrible. I won't be going to the BMCC, ever.
Yes we do have a breakdown in communication here, you are very right about that issue. You are posting information about MM and stating that you are siding with what "appears" to be her children creating the website Michael's Wish. How do you know it is her children? How do we know her children are posting on various message boards? This is the Internet after all. I am discussing certain people.
You posted videos of women who are not abusive and not taking part in any "cyber bullying" simply because you are angry. And one could say that you are engaging in cyber bullying as well. It all depends on how you twist things to suit your purpose. And isn't that what an abuser does?
I find it very interesting you refuse to reveal your identity. Why is that? If you were being truly noble in your quest to reveal cyber bullies, it would not deter you to have your identity revealed. Especially if this truly was a case of cyber bullying because you would only have to report it to the proper authorities if you felt any fear and the authorities would take care of it. Or maybe some of the women posting on the Internet are correct and this is simply a battle of wills and you must win at all costs. Do you really honestly believe that the only mothers advocacy group that is needed is PMA? Have you not witnessed the breakdown of Bill Windsor over the last few months?
I am simply trying to understand the mind of someone who must hide behind a ferocious predator. I have seen advocates who hide behind a mascot who are trying to help the victims, and they do not choose to use a predator. They use silly mascots like pigs, hogs, cats, dogs, alpacas, and owls. They use stars, moons, the sun, and many other mascot avatars, yet you utilize the wolf – a symbolic if scary symbol that strikes fear. Why is that? Why do most who utilize a mascot choose one that brings a smile to their face or warmth to their heart, and you choose one that invokes fear?
Why not bring your concerns directly to the people involved? Why must you attempt to tear down and destroy many years of hard work. Work that I witnessed first hand at BMCC X. And yes I was there. Nobody left with any fear in their heart. In fact I mad several very good connections, met some very wonderful people, and came away with several good ideas as to how to move forward from this point on. And all of the mothers (the victims) have all listened to my ideas and have given their approval and provided feedback as well. Now if you would like to discuss why you feel the need to rip apart those who attempted to help PMA get off the ground, who gave selflessly of their time, then we can discuss that. I personally do not believe you are willing to do so. You see someone who is trying to instill fear and "quiet" someone else down, must use intimidation and scare that person. I do not scare so easily, and nothing posted here is a threat. In fact nothing I have posted to date is a threat. And in looking at screen shots of what I have received from others who have posted here which was not allowed and the wording was changed, I see someone attempting to force their will on others. And in looking at what we need to do, forcing someone to shut up simply because you do not like them or because you want to be the one to save all the victims is pretty lousy.
But what do I know? I am only a nameless, faceless Jane Doe.
RE: How do you know it is her children?
A.T.W. RESPONSE: As we have stated before, we will accept reader's documentation or proof to support or refute any of our posts.
RE: You posted videos of women who are not abusive and not taking part in any "cyber bullying" simply because you are angry.
A.T.W. RESPONSE: You are making an assumption that we are angry, and are not providing us with specific details needed to respond.
RE: And one could say that you are engaging in cyber bullying as well. It all depends on how you twist things to suit your purpose.
A.T.W. RESPONSE: A.T.W. offers proof in the form of screenshots, documentation, witness statements and first person accounts for all that we post. The information presented on A.T.W. can be found in the public domain, or is a result of reader tips (which are then researched and verified).
Some of research we have stumbled upon includes information from our subjects' own words, which they have decided to publicly post. When a subject decides to publicly post personal information about themselves or their families, they are assuming all responsibility and risk for what they reveal. When the subject puts their information in the public domain, or online, they are consciously making the decision to draw attention to their lives, and thereby giving up their privacy.
A.T.W. RESPONSE: At this point in time A.T.W. is not being cyber bullied, it is up to the victims who are being cyber bullied to take legal action. We are only exposing the bullying and abuse.
A.T.W. RESPONSE: A.T.W. does not represent any special interests or advocacy organizations or individuals. We are not attached to any groups or professionals in the victims advocacy movement or elsewhere.
A.T.W. RESPONSE: We are investigative reporters. A.T.W. does not represent any special interests or advocacy organizations or individuals. We are not attached to any groups or professionals in the victims advocacy movement or elsewhere.
A.T.W. RESPONSE: We have no way of knowing the inner workings of this organization. Our research has made us aware that PMA is getting viciously cyber bullied by what is supposed to be a fellow advocacy group. Our research also clearly shows that the cyber bullying is unprovoked and one sided. A.T.W. is neutral, and does not take a side on these issues, our intent it to provide information to the public so they can make their own decisions.
A.T.W. RESPONSE: Since you are making an accusation, we ask you to send us the proof.
A.T.W. RESPONSE:You keep assuming you know who we are, and you don't.
A.T.W. RESPONSE: Everyone is important, and every opinion counts. Thanks for your feedback.
Thank u for jumping in to the pool of deceit and cover-up( called the mothers movement) for the sake of truth. Even though the cover up ain't go'in so well, your dedication to the truth , no matter where it might take us, is admirable and appreciated. More souls should be like the folks at Among The Wolves. This honest reporting is whats helps weed out corruption and abuse in all forms even in movements supposed to be fighting corruption.

DR Power Equipment acquires Mean Green Products, LLC.
DR Power Equipment, a subsidiary of Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE: GNRC), a manufacturer of professional-grade, outdoor power equipment including an extensive line of gas and battery powered products, announced the closing of a purchase agreement to acquire the assets of Mean Green Products, LLC, an electric lawn mower manufacturer.
Mean Green Products developed and manufactures a commercial line of zero-turn, all electric lawn mowers. The patent designs and technology bring an innovative product to the zero-turn market allowing customers access to a quieter, zero emissions producing and minimal maintenance option. Mean Green mowers have the capacity to efficiently run for a full day of commercial mowing. The company is headquartered in Ross, Ohio, and was founded in 2009.
"Entering the electric zero-turn mower category has been a target of ours for years. We have watched the Mean Green team grow, develop new products and technologies, which led to us to aggressively pursue them to become part of our portfolio," stated Matt Bieber, president of DR Power Equipment. "Mean Green products will supplement our expanding battery powered chore products and strategically drive us to integrate and develop new battery powered solutions."
"The opportunity presented to further develop and grow our vision to provide consumers with battery powered equipment made us extremely confident that the DR Power and Generac teams were an excellent fit for our company and employees," said Joe Conrad, president and owner of Mean Green Products.
"The organizational initiative centered around providing clean powered products accelerated our interest in becoming part of their strategic movement," said Matt Conrad, vice president and owner.


My skincare routine is not so complicated, in fact with all the different types of skin care methods that are available on the market now, i truly believe mine is the most simple and basic form!
1) Cleanse- I either use Clinique's 3 step system for Dry/Combination skin type. Or Simple Cleanser to clean my skin.
2) Toner- Step 2 of Clinique's 3 step system or Body Shop Aloe Toner- i saturate it slightly with water on a cotton pad because toners can have that sticky feel sometimes which i dislike!
3) Moisturise- Step 3 of Clinique's 3 step system or mainly Body Shop Vitamin E SPF 10 Moisturiser. Vaseline Liptins and original to moisturise lips and also skin.
I do a deep cleanse and exfoliate at least once a week.
2) Exfoliate: Discontinued, but I saved so much from when I worked at Benefit: Honey Snap out of it Scrub, which gets into my pores and gives a great cleansing.

Robin Whitefield was named the Houston Chronicle's girls athlete of the week on Tuesday afternoon, but her sterling play this season started before the playoffs.
The senior guard has been an asset on the offensive and defensive ends of the floor for the No. 24 Lady Eagles.
On HoustonChronicle.com: COVID cases drop in Humble area after winter storm
"This year has been really exciting, and I have been motivated to do even better than last year," said the 18-year-old Whitehead. "Every year (Atascocita) coach (Veronica Johnson) tells us that we have to do better than what we did last year. We have done that so far this year, but we want to go farther in the playoffs."
Whitehead and the Lady Eagles are back in the Class 6A regional quarterfinals and will take on Shadow Creek at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Butler Fieldhouse. This is Shadow Creek's first time in the playoffs in Class 6A after spending the last two seasons in Class 5A.
This time last year the Eagles were sent home by Pearland in the area round. Whitehead was on the team but wasn't at full strength.
Whitehead thought she had sprained her wrist during a game her junior year, but she didn't. After taking a week off to let her wrist heal, she fell again and the stubborn pain wouldn't go away. She went to Texas Children Hospital to get a second opinion and that's when she found out she had a scaphoid fracture in her wrist.
Whitehead was out for several weeks and had to wear a cast. She came back in the District 21-6A finale against Humble and joined the team in the playoffs. Whitehead said she still wasn't herself on the court.
"It was hard because coming into my junior year, I was the most driven I had ever been to play," Whitehead said. "I was really excited for the year to come and having an amazing junior year. When I was sitting on the bench watching the games, I knew there were spots where I could have helped the team, but I couldn't do anything but sit on the bench."
She's making up for it on the hardwood in her final season at Atascocita.
Whitehead averaged 14 points per game with 6.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.8 steals in the regular season.
She has shined in the playoffs, scoring 25 in a bi-district win over Channelview and posting 30 points in a win over Clear Springs in the area round.
"For a long time, I talked to Robin about her offensive game," Johnson said. "She has always been able to drive the ball and play defense. We talked more about her working on her shot, and she has been doing that the last three games."
Whitehead has seen her game improve a lot since she was a freshman on junior varsity.
"You know I always focused on defense because that's what we do here," Whitehead said. "Coach J kept on telling me that she needed more out of me. My shot really has improved, and she wanted me to work on it. My game has really stepped up this year to help the team."
Whitehead is a leader by example but can speak when something needs to be said to her teammates, Johnson said. She isn't just a basketball player — she excels in the classroom as well.
"She typically is not much of a talker," Johnson said. "We talked about her being a vocal leader a lot more this season, and I think she has done a great job at it. She works hard, and it doesn't go unnoticed. Every one of these girls is playing as hard as they can for Robin since she's a senior. They want her to play as many games as she can."
