"Just unacceptable": Wisconsin lawmakers react to chaos at U.S. Capitol
By WBAY news staff
WASHINGTON, D.C., Wis. (WBAY) - Wisconsin lawmakers, some prepared to challenge the results of the election before chaos broke out at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, have all spoken out against the violence that left several people dead as Trump supporters stormed the building.
"It's not like anything I've seen in my four years in Congress. Honestly the closest parallel is some of the stuff I saw in Iraq, and the political disorder there. I mean it's just unacceptable," said U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wisconsin).
The Green Bay Republican, while in lockdown, quickly urged President Donald Trump to call off his supporters as they breached the building Wednesday.
"Mr. President. You have got to stop this. You are the only person who can call this off. Call it off. The election is over. Call it off. This is bigger than you. It is bigger than any member of Congress. It is about the United States of America, which is more important than any politician," said Gallagher in a video posted to Twitter.
We are witnessing absolute banana republic crap in the United States Capitol right now. @realdonaldtrump, you need to call this off. pic.twitter.com/0QGx2PlXFY
— Rep. Mike Gallagher (@RepGallagher) January 6, 2021
Gallagher called the violence "absolute banana republic crap."

Four people died and at least 52 people were arrested. Stunning video from inside the House Chamber showed police with guns drawn, trying to keep the rioters out.
Gallagher said this is the result of President Donald Trump's continued claims that the presidential election was stolen.
"This is the cost of this effort. This is the cost of countenancing an effort by Congress to overturn the election and telling thousands of people that there is a legitimate shot of overturning the election today, even though you know it's not true," Gallagher said.
In an interview with Action 2 News Wednesday afternoon, Wisconsin's Sixth District Congressman Glenn Grothman stated:
"Like most of the rest of America I'm watching on TV what's going on. Obviously it's a tragedy. I think a lot of people came out here. I think people tried to raise expectations and created a confrontation which really shouldn't have been necessary. It's a tragedy. We heard someone was shot which was horrific. And it's kind of hard to believe this is happening in America."
Grothman also said he isn't worried about his own safety.
"People have raised tensions here irresponsibly. I will put it that way. Normally, when this happened four years ago I'm sure we had a day in which Donald Trump's victory was confirmed and nobody remembers it. I don't remember it, because it's just an automatic thing. That's what should have happened here," said Grothman.
U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin) called the violence "un-American."
I am safe, but it's disgraceful that our country has to experience this violence because of Trump's lies, conspiracies and un-American attacks on our Democracy.
— Sen. Tammy Baldwin (@SenatorBaldwin) January 6, 2021
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) asked for crowds to respect Capitol police and "peacefully disperse."
The Capitol Police have acted with incredible professionalism. I sincerely thank them for their service and condemn all lawless activity.
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) January 6, 2021
Later in the evening, Senator Johnson issued a statement, saying he "condemns the lawlessness and mourn the loss of life that occurred in the Capitol. I believe the sentiments expressed below are valid concerns of the millions of Americans who also condemn today's illegal activities in the Capitol."
Following that statement, he sent out the speech he was going to deliver on the Senate floor regarding his concerns about the election in Arizona, but said that protesters entered the Capitol and by consensus, the Senate decided to expedite the proceedings.
Johnson says neither he or Trump are responsible for the events of the day.
Wisconsin's @RonJohnsonWI - one of the objectors today- tells me neither his fellow objectors nor president Trump bear any responsibility for the violence today.
— Garrett Haake (@GarrettHaake) January 7, 2021
Both Johnson and Baldwin voted no to objecting to the election results in Arizona and Pennsylvania.
Below is Senator Johnson's full speech he said he was going to give Wednesday:
I refuse to dismiss the legitimate concerns of tens of millions of Americans who have lost faith in our institutions and the fairness of our electoral process.
Those who have lost confidence are not crazy. They are patriots who dearly love America and are alarmed by what they have witnessed over the last four years: a thoroughly corrupt FBI investigation of a duly elected president; a grossly biased media that has chosen sides and uses its power to interfere in our politics to a far greater extent than any foreign entity could ever hope to achieve; an increasingly powerful social media that censors news and conservative voices; and courts and election officials that usurp the constitutional authority of state legislatures in setting the times, places, and manner of holding elections.
Prior to election day, these patriots were reminded of the Carter-Baker Commission's caution regarding absentee balloting: "Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud," and then they saw Covid being exploited to dramatically increase the use of absentee voting and extensive efforts to simultaneously weaken the controls governing it. They also hear that one of the social media moguls, Mark Zuckerberg, spent almost half a billion dollars to increase Democrat turnout in Democrat-controlled jurisdictions, and they wonder, "Is that even legal?"
Then on election day, they saw poll watchers being thrown out or obstructed from observing. They heard reports of dead people voting, votes being cast by people who have moved out of state or reside at vacant addresses, people voting twice, once by absentee ballot and once in person, of large Democrat-controlled counties waiting until after Republican counties have reported and then dumping their vote totals in the wee hours of the morning, election officials and others refusing to turn over evidence to those investigating irregularities, and courts refusing to hear what evidence was obtained and instead dismissing election challenges on procedural grounds.
Is it any wonder that so many have lost confidence in the fairness of our election system and question the legitimacy of the result?
The first step in solving any problem is admitting you have one. My support for a bipartisan commission to address electoral concerns is meant to acknowledge the problem and highlight that having a large percentage of Americans questioning the legitimacy of our elections is a dangerous reality that must be addressed.
This is not a problem that can be swept under the rug with the hope it will somehow solve itself. I recognized this early and held a hearing in December, but was only able to scratch the surface of the issues involved. Unless the election irregularities are fully investigated and explanations provided, I fear this problem will fester within the body politic and could lead to even greater rancor and division.
While I am sympathetic and agree with many of the constitutional concerns raised by people on both sides of the political spectrum, I sincerely hope this debate will serve as a wake-up call to state legislatures to recognize the legitimacy of these concerns, fully investigate the irregularities in their states, reassert their authority over federal elections, and establish controls to restore confidence in our election system. The solution lies in the states, not with the federal government.
For the future unity of our nation, it is crucial that states properly shoulder their responsibility, take the action required, and alleviate any doubt that future elections will be fair and legitimate.
Sen. Ron Johnson
U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan, who represents Wisconsin's Second District. Pocan posted two videos to Twitter Wednesday - one from a rooftop view, and one from his office, which was posted later in the afternoon.
A third tweet posted by Pocan shortly after 5 p.m. Wednesday discussed removing Trump from office by invoking the 25th Amendment.
Yes, we should impeach him. But I don't have much faith in the @SenateGOP to defend our democracy and remove him.
Invoke the 25th amendment and he can be gone in hours. His conduct is unbecoming a President.

After the building was secured, lawmakers returned to the floor and counted the Electoral College votes. They confirmed Joe Biden as the nation's next president.
U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wisconsin) and U.S. Rep Scott Fitzgerald (R-Wisconsin) joined the objections to the results in Arizona and Pennsylvania. Again, no Wisconsin senators joined that objection.
President Donald Trump was locked out of both his personal Facebook and Twitter accounts Wednesday night.
Officials with the social media companies issued a temporary lock on Trump's accounts Wednesday following a day of chaos at the U.S. Capitol.
Facebook followed up in the evening, announcing that Trump wouldn't be able to post for 24 hours.
According to Twitter officials, the lock will be in effect for 12 hours following the removal of the tweets, and cited they repeatedly and severely violated their Civic Integrity policy. Trump's account deleted those posts; had they remained, Twitter had threatened to extend his suspension.
This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked.
The company went on to say that any future violations of the Twitter Rules, including the Civic Integrity or Violent Threats policies, will result in permanent suspension of his personal account, which is @realDonaldTrump.
Twitter stated they will continue to evaluate the situation in real time, and will also examine activity on the ground and statements made off Twitter.
We'll continue to evaluate the situation in real time, including examining activity on the ground and statements made off Twitter. We will keep the public informed, including if further escalation in our enforcement approach is necessary.
President Donald Trump posted a video to Twitter and Facebook Wednesday afternoon, telling those who have breached the U.S. Capitol to go home.
The video was almost immediately flagged by Twitter, which put a disclaimer on the video saying it couldn't be replied to, liked, or retweeted due to a risk of violence. Later in the afternoon, Guy Rosen, a Facebook official, said the company decided to remove the video. Their decision was made due to their belief it contributes to, rather than diminishes the risk of ongoing violence.
This is an emergency situation and we are taking appropriate emergency measures, including removing President Trump's video. We removed it because on balance we believe it contributes to rather than diminishes the risk of ongoing violence.
— Guy Rosen (@guyro) January 6, 2021
In the video, Trump said to "go home, and go home in peace", adding there needs to be law and order and "we don't want anyone hurt."
Those words were said after the beginning of the video started with "I know your pain, I know your hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us, it was a landslide election, and everyone knows it, especially the other side."
Below is a transcribe of the entire video, which was eventually deleted:
"I know your pain, I know your hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us, it was a landslide election, and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now, we have to have peace, we have to have law and order, we have to respect our great people in law and order. We don't want anybody hurt. It's a very tough period of time. there's never been a time like this where such a thing happened where they could take it away from all of us - from me, from you, from our country. This was a fraudulent election, but we can't play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home, we love you, you're very special, you've seen what happens you see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel. So go home, and go home in peace."

WESTIN names new executive chef
July 13, 2006 by News of St. John
(I got it wrong. It's the Westin, not Caneel. here's a Daily News story link, too.)
Roland Czekelius, who was a cook at Caneel Bay
in the '80s, has returned to the island as the new executive chef at the Westin St. John Resort & Villas. He's
been on the mainland for the past 25 years, including positions as top
chef at Boston's Park Plaza Hotel, according to a report of his hiring in the Virgin Islands Daily News. "A lot of the ladies who worked in the pantry and kitchen now work at the Westin,"
Czekelius said. "I had to tell then, 'Remember the little Austrian, 25
years ago?' Then they were giving me hugs." Czekelius said he wanted
to return to the Caribbean and interviewed for slots on Peter Island
and Turks and Caicos before taking the CaneeloWestin position. He expects to
rework the resort's menus, adding more gourmet and
Mediterranean-inspired items, the Daily News said.

Today is the last day of the 30 day photo challenge. Even if it was somehow time consuming it was so much fun to take all those pictures and it was definitely worth to carry the camera around everywhere I went.
Here is an overview of all pictures taken for this challenge.
Having "motion" in a picture is not possible by definition. But you can make a picture "communicate" motion. Often this is done via motion blur. Initially I wanted to take a picture of my guitar with the strings swinging. When it comes to instruments "motion" is also coupled to "sound", so you can make a picture also communicate "sound".
Blur can be created in different ways while taking picture. For example having the object out of focus or to have a narrow depth of field.
Inspired by the Wiesbadener Fototage I'd like to add an abstract image for the "in motion" topic. This picture was taken using a tripod in the middle of our living room. In 13 seconds of exposure time I moved the camera around the complete living room. If you take a closer look you can see some details like the monitors on the desktop, the paintings on the wall and the trees on the terrace.

The hard work of reality TV
By Jenn Cutts April 19, 2011
Enduring poolside lounging, shouting matches and trysts that are over before the commercial break may look like fun and games, but a French court ruled last week that appearing in a reality TV show is, in fact, work—work that's worth $1,900 a day.
French lawyer Jérémie Assous convinced the country's highest court in 2009 that contestants who appeared on the French version of Temptation Island (a bikini-themed show in which couples' fidelities are tested) were entitled to contracts and salaries—just like professional actors. After nearly two years of wrangling over the details, an appeals court decided that participants should be allowed benefits, a 35-hour workweek, and overtime, in addition to the $1,900 day rate (more than what a minimum-wage worker in France earns in a month). French production companies are likely reacting with their own hand-wringing, as the ruling could cost them over $71 million in back pay—mind you, that's roughly what the Idol franchise brought in during three months in 2009.
Having set a precedent, Assous is now in talks with reality stars the world over. "I have no moral objection to reality TV and it has never been my intention to destroy it," he told the Guardian, "but participants have to be treated fairly."

دست ناپیدا گریبان می کشد من پی دست و گریبان می روم
Opening of the Charsoo Honar's new space, in Tehran (Iran), within the group show But we don't leave pyramids, curated by GAPS, and the Tehran Curatorial Symposium, "The curator as a translator".
Do the renovation and repurposing of a space change the space's meaning? If so, would it make any sense to consider that workers and other architectural technicians involved in a renovation are actually acting as translators?
On the 4th January 2019, the Charsoo Honar art and culture institute, in Tehran (Iran), opened a new space: one of the oldest houses in the city's 6th disctrict; a 90 year-old house that, until then, had been used as dwelling. When Mr. Saeed, Charsoo's director, wanted to locate the institute there, a team of workers began to transform the space to turn it into an art centre. They pulled up the floor, covered the stone walls with a layer of plasterboards and painted them in white. They also changed the single lightbulbs that used to hang from the ceiling for fluorescent tubes with neutral light. While all these was happening, the house's owner, who had bought it in 1966, shared some details and memories about her personal relation with that house with Golnoosh Heshmati (curator and member of GAPS) and Mr. Saeed. Amongst many other things, she confessed that she had always wanted to live in that house, but many obstacles had prevented her to do so. She also said that it was Mr. Saeed's destiny to now occupy that house and fill it with life. To express her feelings regarding this situation, the owner read the following verses, which are also this performance's title:
I collected these memories; layers of information about old and recent memories of this house. I located all of them over a plan of the building which I then used as a script for a set of subtle performances. In them, a person wandered inside the house. Every time she came across somebody in some of the points marked in the script, she shared with that person the memory that was related to that specific place, as if it was a comment coming out from nowhere.
My infinite thanks to: GAPS (Sofía Corrales Akerman, Golnoosh Heshmati, Flavia Prestininzi), Mr. Saeed, the house's owner, Yekta Tarki, Fereshte Moosavi, Ameer Hosayn Taqeeloo, Alidad, Golnoosh's mother, Samin Foroughi, Bombon Projects (Bernat Daviu i Joana Roda), Bea Espejo.

They say that old is gold, and they say it with much conviction. If you take a look at fashion, that saying couldn't be more true. Hairstyles, for instance, have come and gone and then come again. If you enjoyed the classic bobs and blunts of the 60s and the shags of the 70s and 80s, it is time to rejoice. Vintage hairstyles are back in fashion. Here are the top 10 favorites.
For the fans of the Victorian era and everything Austen, these updos with hair rolled up on the sides is surely a welcome relief. This is a great hairstyle that allows you to neatly pin up your hair on the sides. Since your hair are rolled up, they do give you some volume as well. Ideal for women who have thin yet unruly hair that simply wont be tamed.
Who wouldn't want to look like Marilyn Monroe? The voluptuous beauty stole hearts with her Alabaster skin, her curves and her luscious golden curls. If you want to sport a short haircut, why not try her style? Just have a simple bob cut and add curls on all the fringes. If your hair is naturally curly, you are already halfway there.
Also known as the Gibson tucks, this is another hairdo from the Victorian era. This is a neat hairdo that allows you to fold away your hair and tuck them neatly into a elliptical bun on the nape of your neck. This is a relatively easier hairstyle to pull off if you are comfortable with bobby pins and hair ties. The advantage here is that your hairs are neatly tucked away, leaving you to concentrate on other things.
The 20s were a real riot, characterized by sultry music and great fashion. Celebrate your womanhood by embracing the sultry looks of this era. This is a simple hairdo that looks like a flapper's bob, ideal for women with short to medium hair. Take a flat iron to the top of your head and iron your hair to mid length. Then add tight curls from the mid length to the fringes. You could add headbands and hair accessories to make the look more glamorous.
A reminder of the hippy 60s, this is a hairstyle for women with long hair. Another simple do, all you need is some hair product to make your hair look slightly poofy. Take the lengths of your hair from all over your head and make a slight pouf on the top of your head. Brush forward your bangs on the front of the head to have a nice fringe on your forehead.
Another look from the 60s that continued well into the 70s, the beehive is a classic updo which adds height to your figure. This is a look in which all your hair sits in a neat bun on the top of your head. The hair is styled to look like a voluminous hive and thus it's name. You can add bows and hair accessories to complete the look.
For women who like to keep their hair open and flowing, this is a great look. Just pin up half your hair on the back of your head and let the rest of it loose. The hair hangs on your shoulders. Double bangs in the front, parted in both directions on your face, lends more drama to this look.
This is one shag hairstyle that has remained in style since short hair became acceptable for women. Starting from the late 40s, the pixie has been a favorite with women who have slender faces. This is a very short hair cut that ends into turned fringes right at the hair ends. Ideal for those with thin and very short hair.
Straight cut fringes and long locks with lose curls are the hallmark of this 70's look. The soft wavy hair in this hairstyle are extremely feminine and charming. A simple look to perfect, this is your everyday styling made easy.
This style from the old Hollywood movies lets you part your hair from the side and lets it flow to your shoulders softly. Soft waves make this look ultra feminine. You can add some body to your hair by applying some mousse and blow drying. Let the hair fall over your face on one side, while neatly tucking your bangs behind the ears on the other.

PANAMA CITY —A teenager has been arrested and charged with arson after a fire Tuesday night heavily damaged a building at Macedonia Garden Apartments.
Cristian Franchesco Gonzalez-Solorzano, 16, was booked into the Department of Juvenile Justice.
According to the Panama City Police, Gonzalez-Solorzano was developed as suspect after multiple fires broke out in the apartment complex. He was located at a nearby apartment building and taken into custody without incident.
The Panama City Fire Department responded to the complex, 1722 17th Street at about 8 p.m. to find heavy fire and smoke coming out of building C. Firefighters had to force entry into the building. While responding to building C, alarms also began sounding in building F.
There were no residents at the complex at the time of the fire because of the damage sustained during Hurricane Michael, according to the Panama City Fire Department. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
It took firefighters about two hours to put out the fire. By the time it was done, there was substantial damage to one apartment in Building C and all the units on the second floor had at least some damage, according to the press release. Building F had minor damage to the outside.
A total of 20 firefighters responded to the incident along with PCPD and Bay County EMS.

Longenecker, Richard N. Galatians. WBC. Thomas Nelson, 1990.
Philibuster March 27, 2013
Longenecker provides a good commentary for discussion of the issues involved. It's one of the more in-depth commentaries on Galatians, so it provides a good entry to some of the technical issues involved in interpretation. I was frustrated with some of Longenecker's theological conclusions however. He supports Hays' reading of "the faith of Jesus Christ," but doesn't seem to me to carry the implications of that view any farther than in translation. Unfortunately, he still sees Galatians as addressing the dual problems of legalism/nomism, which don't see to me to fit Paul's Jewish view of the purpose/efficacy of the Law. While this commentary is helpful in describing the issues related to Galatians, it doesn't offer many unique insights into those issues.
Matera, Frank J. Galatians. SP. Michael Glazier Books, 2007.
Decent overview of the letter to the Galatians. Matera's commentary is mediocre. It gives a good description of the new perspective on Paul, but then fails to follow through on all the implications of this approach, as do writers like Hays or Dunn. The rest of the commentary is well-written, but doesn't really add much to the general discussion on Galatians. Matera does have a slightly unique standpoint in his fairly thoroughgoing rejection of mirror-reading in the letter, preferring instead to find a rhetorical model to fit Paul's comments into. A good read for someone entering into Galatians, but will not become a groundbreaking commentary regarding Galatians.
Wright, N. T. The Resurrection of the Son of God (Christian Origins and the Question of God: Volume 3). Augsburg Fortress Press, 2003.
Philibuster February 20, 2013
This third volume in Wright's series is something of a part 2 to JVG, originally meant to be its last chapter. Wright broadened his scope, however, to talk about the centrality of resurrection-thought in the rest of the NT (not just the Gospels), as well as in the cultural milieu of the time. The book's strong points are its ability to trace the development of resurrection thought in early Christianity from its roots in Judaism and the summaries of how the resurrection shapes Paul and the Gospels. A good argument for a historical, bodily resurrection, though not quite as groundbreaking as the first two books of the series. Still well worth the read.
Hays, Richard B. The Conversion of the Imagination: Paul as Interpreter of Israel's Scripture. Eerdmans, 2005.
Philibuster January 29, 2013
Somewhat of a follow-up to Echoes of Scripture, this is a collection of essays by Hays that deal with the topic of Paul's attitude toward and use of Scripture. Includes several important essays crucial to a "new understanding of Paul." See especially chapters 1 and 3-5. As a collection of essays, this does not flow as well as a normal book, but each chapter certainly contributes to a larger picture Hays is building.
Hays, Richard B. Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul. Yale University Press, 1993.
An absolute must for Pauline studies. Hays shows Paul to be a poetic interpreter of Scripture, often exploding the world of the text through reference to a single part. Hays focuses on Paul's "ecclesiocentric hermeneutic" by which he reads Scripture as a word specifically to his communities. Hays informs all of this discussion through attention to careful exegesis.
Beale, G. K. The Book of Revelation. NIGTC. Eerdmans, 1998.
Philibuster December 20, 2012
Beale's massive tome on Revelation is a wealth of information, especially on intertextual allusions. This commentary is light on social-contextual issues (as other reviewers have noted), but if you want to understand Revelation based on the OT allusions John chose, and the way he used them, this is the place to go.
Hurtado, Larry W. Lord Jesus Christ: Devotion to Jesus in Earliest Christianity. Eerdmans, 2005.
Philibuster November 7, 2012
Good, detailed study about early Christian Jesus-devotion. Hurtado builds a strong case that from surprisingly early, Christians engaged in a 'binitarian' worship of Jesus, rooted in Jewish monotheism. To someone already convinced of the centrality of Jesus-worship from early on (as opposed to it being a later paganized invention), parts of the book felt like preaching to the choir; nevertheless, Hurtado's tome offers good data and theories to further the conversation in scholarly circles.
Wright, N. T. Climax of the Covenant: Christ And The Law In Pauline Theology. T&T Clark, 1993.
N. T. Wright builds a compelling picture of the relationship between Christ, Israel and Torah in Pauline thought. Central to Wright's thought is his narrative analysis of Paul's theology, which he believes accounts for many of the tensions commentators have struggled with in Paul's theology. Key chapters are 2, 4, 7, 9, 10 and 13. Soon this will all be unpacked further in Paul and the Faithfulness of God, which should integrate Paul's theology into the broader discussion of worldview which informs Wright's Christian Origins series. (We see hints of this in the present volume.) All in all, Climax of the Covenant is a wonderful book for Pauline studies, which should get people thinking differently (and, I think, more accurately) about Pauline theology.
Berlin, Adele. Lamentations. OTL. Westminster John Knox Press, 2002.
Philibuster August 23, 2012
Adele Berlin's commentary is slight (~125 pgs of text) but excellent. Her introduction highlights several key insights that she unpacks in the commentary. Her primary focus is on the literary dimensions of the text. Highly recommended.
Davis, Ellen F. Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Songs. WBComp. Westminster John Knox Press, 2000.
Philibuster July 17, 2012
This review is for the Ecclesiastes portion of the commentary. At about 70 pages devoted to Qoheleth, the insights gained from Davis' thoughts on this book belie its miniature size. I first interacted with Davis' work in The Art of Reading Scripture, in which she (as a co-editor) sets out helpful practices towards a faithful interpretation of Scripture. Many of these are enacted in her commentary on Qoheleth. She interacts with an impressive array of voices from church history and deftly combines historical-critical knowledge with theological insight. Davis' critiques of the NRSV translation (which is included in the text) left me wishing she had provided her own translation. The only pitfall is the inexplicable absence of several sections of Qoheleth from the interpretation. Without any justification for their removal (that I could find), Davis included no commentary on 4:9-16; 6:1-9; 9:13-10:15. If this 4-star commentary included these sections (and perhaps was longer and with an original translation), it would be a 5-star.
Childs, Brevard S. Isaiah. OTL. Westminster John Knox Press, 2000.
Childs tackles the whole of the Isainic material in one volume. However, this comes at the expense of skimming over many of the questions raised in interpreting the text. In fact, Childs spends more time arguing why Isaiah should be understood from a canonical perspective (as opposed to the atomizing form-critical) than in showing how the text would be understood from such a perspective. His thoughts on some of the intertextual play within the book are helpful (especially regarding Deutero- and Trito-Isaiah), but, I confess, I expected more from a giant in the field on one of the key books in the OT, coming from one of the major commentary series.
MacDonald, Margaret Y. Colossians and Ephesians. SP. Liturgical Press, 2008.
This review is for the Ephesians portion of the commentary. My review here is largely in agreement with that of Todd Price, below. As stated below, MacDonald should only be consulted in conjunction with another commentary. I did not find her arguments against Pauline authorship persuading, though I did think her thoughts on Ephesians' attitude toward outsiders and also visionary experiences worth considering.
Beasley-Murray, George R. John (2nd ed.). WBC. Thomas Nelson, 1999.
Philibuster July 6, 2012
Good commentary. Especially helpful in describing the significance of Jesus' interaction with Jewish festivals.
Sweeney, Marvin A. I and II Kings. OTL. Westminster John Knox Press, 2007.
Sweeney has several helpful insights into Kings. He is at his best when dealing with the literary aspects of the text. As a caveat, much of his interpretation is based on his historical reconstruction of different redactions of the text; if you don't agree with him here, this will be less useful for you. If nothing else, read the intro. It's excellent.
Eichrodt, Walther. Ezekiel. OTL. Westminster John Knox Press, 1970.
I found this commentary unhelpful. The interpretation seemed to simply atomize the text into un-useful bits, rather than making sense of any of it. He did have an interesting bit on the possible psychological conflict Ezekiel experienced as both prophet and priest, but this is mainly just a bit of interesting speculation and doesn't really help the interpretation of the text.
Witherington III, Ben. Conflict and Community in Corinth: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary on 1 and 2 Corinthians. SRC. Eerdmans, 1995.
Philibuster March 7, 2012
This review is for the 1 Corinthians portion of the commentary. Ben highlights a lot of helpful info to interpret the situation behind 1 Corinthians. Fittingly, his socio-rhetorical info focuses mainly on Greco-Roman cultural specifics. Of course, due to the nature of the commentary, this will be lighter on theological issues, but I would recommend it when used as a supplemental commentary.
Martyn, J. Louis; Lloyd, Christopher Louis. History and Theology in the Fourth Gospel. NTLM. Westminster John Knox Press, 2003.
Martyn reads John as a two-level drama, in which the story functions both on the historical level (Jesus' lifetime) and on the contemporary level (time of writing). While you may not agree with all of Martyn's conclusions, you should read this short book as you study John. It will broaden the way you think about the issues going on.
Wright, N. T. The New Testament and the People of God (Christian Origins and the Question of God: Volume 1). Augsburg Fortress Press, 1992.
This, the first volume of Wright's monumental series, should be required reading for people wanting to study the NT. The first part of the book grounds his study in a critical-realist epistemology, which may bore some readers, but is crucial in establishing his approach. The rest of the book, per NTW, grounds the NT in 1st-century Judaism, which is extremely beneficial. All in all, well worth the read.
Fee, Gordon D. The First Epistle to the Corinthians. NICNT. Eerdmans, 1987.
Excellently detailed; Fee is not always persuasive. I tend to think in more New Perspective terms than he, but his arguments are impressive, as is his attention to the text in close detail.
Pope, Marvin H. Job. AYB. Yale University Press, 1965.
Pope has some interesting things to say about Job, but overall, his focus is not on the message of the text but its historical underpinnings, which, while helpful, are not the focus the text intends to communicate.
Malherbe, Abraham J. The Letters to the Thessalonians. AYB. Yale University Press, 2000.
Thoughtful commentary characterized by Malherbe's attention to Greco-Roman philosophical parallels.
Pratico, Gary D.; Van Pelt, Miles V. Graded Reader of Biblical Hebrew: A Guide to Reading the Hebrew Bible. Zondervan, 2006.
An excellent tool for those coming out of first-year Hebrew. The graded reader provides 30 passages for translation from the Old Testament (usually about 8-10 verses), along with space to parse verbs and (a highlight) grammatical commentary on each passage.
Wright, N. T. Jesus and the Victory of God (Christian Origins and the Question of God: Volume 2). Augsburg Fortress Press, 1997.
As someone following the New Perspective, one of N.T. Wright's major strengths is placing texts in their cultural context. JVG is a superb example of this strength. The initial premise of deducing Jesus' aims, intentions, beliefs and such sounds like it's just asking to get mired down in 2000-years-later speculation, but Wright does an admirable job working within a culturally-sensitive approach to access the history behind the texts. Highlights include his extended discussion of Mark 13, Wright's re-understanding of basic Christian buzz-words such as 'faith' and 'repentance' and Jesus' understanding of his work in terms of OT eschatological understanding.
Bauckham, Richard J. Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony. Eerdmans, 2006.
Bauckham shows his mastery of close, careful reading of texts. Not all of his arguments are persuasive, but he builds a good case. He does wonderful things with the significance of names (or lack thereof) in the text. Lots of insights to be gleaned from this work.
Crenshaw, James L. Ecclesiastes. OTL. Westminster John Knox Press, 1987.
Crenshaw is a giant in the wisdom lit world, but I don't feel that I understood Ecclesiastes better after reading his commentary. He's heavy on grammar/translation issues, but not on interpretation.
Brueggemann, Walter. Theology Of The Old Testament: Testimony, Dispute, Advocacy. Fortress Press, 2005.
Brueggemann's voice has become indispensable in my understanding of the witness of the Old Testament. His insights bring the text to life and will open your eyes and challenge your assumptions.
Friedman, Richard Elliott. Commentary on the Torah. HarperOne, 2003.
Friedman's commentary is a wonderful companion to the Torah. It includes his own translation as well as thoughts on specific items in the text. The translation and the interpretation are accessible and insightful. Next time you read through the Torah, do it with Richard Friedman as your guide.
France, R. T. The Gospel of Mark. NIGTC. Eerdmans, 2002.
Excellent commentary on Mark. France gives superb insight into the narrative world of the Gospel, and draws out the Jewish feel of the story's historical setting. My only real disagreement was with France's reading that Mark 13 switches topics from the destruction of Jerusalem to the future second coming of Christ at 13:32. His arguments were not enough to persuade me that it's not about the destruction of Jerusalem throughout.
Attridge, Harold W. Hebrews. Herm. Fortress Press, 1989.
I didn't find this commentary very helpful. Attridge seems to be overly concerned with constructing a history of ideas behind the text, which while can be informative, in this case got in the way of actual interpretation of the text. Per the series, Attridge often had an excursus on relevant topics, which tended to be of more use than the surrounding exposition.

Pokes roll defending MAC Champions, 45-12
Wyoming linebacker Easton Gibbs brings down Ball State quarterback John Paddock late in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 45-12 victory./ DJ Johnson photo
LARAMIE – The Wyoming Cowboys improved their record to 3-0 on Saturday, with a convincing 45-12 home win over Ball State.
Wyoming's offense accumulated 378 yards of total offense, scored four touchdowns and a field goal.
The Cowboy defense was outstanding, forcing three turnovers and returning two interceptions for touchdowns -- those two "Pick Six" were scored by nickel back Keyon Blankenbaker and linebacker Chad Muma.
Offensively, quarterback Sean Chambers completed 61 percent of his passes on the day (14 of 23) for 201 yards and one touchdown pass to tight end Treyton Welch. Wyoming utilized eight different receivers and four different running backs in the game, concluding the day with 177 rushing yards.
Running backs Xazavian Valladay and Dawaiian McNeely each scored a rushing touchdown -- the first of McNeely's career. Chambers added a touchdown run of his own. Valladay had 61 rushing yards and 43 receiving for 104 all-purpose yards on the day. Wide receiver Isaiah Neyor caught four passes for 84 yards to lead the Pokes.
The Cowboys committed no turnovers, compared to three by Ball State.
The Cowboy defense made a real statement with one of the best performances in recent history.
UW's defenders not only scored two touchdowns of their own, but forced another huge turnover right before halftime.
With the ball at the Wyoming 47-yard line, defensive lineman Victor Jones sacked Ball State quarterback Drew Plitt and knocked the ball loose. The ball bounded toward the Ball State end of the field and Cowboy defensive end Jaylen Pate recovered the ball all the way down at the Cardinals 31-yard line with only 42 seconds remaining in the half.
That led to a Chambers one-yard rushing touchdown five plays later to give UW a 31-0 halftime lead.
"We talked to our team at halftime, and we asked them the score, and it was not a sarcastic question," said UW head coach Craig Bohl. "It was a question, and they all said 0-0, so they answered the right way. We needed to continue to play with a hard edge, and we'll continue to do that. Our focus is to be 1-0 (each week) and we are 1-0 (this week).
"I would say so (this being a complete performance). There were elements last week. I thought we looked really good, but there were times in this game we looked explosive on offense. We tackled well on defense. We were really solid in the kicking game. We are well pleased with our progress.
"I think more than anything else, you've got guys with high character and have set a high bar for themselves (on defense). Inside, internally, they were disappointed on how they finished the game last week. That was a point of emphasis, and I thought our guys responded well. Ball State is a good offense, so that was no small feat. I'm real happy with the progress we made."
The two "Pick Sixes" by the Cowboys was the first time a Wyoming defense had accomplished that since Sept. 23, 2016, when safety Marcus Epps and linebacker Logan Wilson each had interception returns for TDs against Eastern Michigan.
For Muma, it was the second consecutive week that he intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown. He had a 23-yard "Pick Six" at Northern Illinois a week ago. Blankenbaker's interception was the first of his Wyoming career.
Wyoming's defense also recorded 6.0 sacks on the day for 33 yards, led by defensive tackle Ravontae Holt with 2.5 sacks for 13 yards.
"I was very pleased (on our ability to pressure the quarterback)," said Bohl. "We had spent some time with the Penn State coaches, talking to them. Penn State said they (Ball State) were a lot bigger and stronger than they thought and they are well-coached. We had good pressure, and even if their quarterback didn't take a sack, he was moving around and having to do things under duress."
Muma led Wyoming in tackles with 12, including 10 solo tackles to go along with 1.0 tackle for loss. His running mate at linebacker, Easton Gibbs, recorded eight tackles and 1.0 sack for nine yards. Free safety Esaias Gandy added six tackles as did defensive end Solomon Byrd. Byrd also had 1.0 sack for two yards. Holt and cornerback C.J. Coldon were credited with five tackles apiece.
"Chad has really improved from last year to this year," added Bohl. "He's gotten bigger, he's making plays in space, he's an excellent tackler. His productivity, he's off the charts. He's having one heck of a year."
The first-half shutout by the Cowboys was their first shutout in a half since Oct. 30, 2020, when UW shutout Hawai'i in the second half. Wyoming's 31 first-half points marked the first time that UW scored 30 points in a half since scoring 33 in the first half vs. UNLV on Sept. 28, 2019.
The Wyoming defense held Ball State to only 260 yards of total offense, 118 rushing yards and 142 passing, while holding the Cardinals' outstanding quarterback Plitt to only 60 yards passing and sacking him five times.
Wyoming took a 3-0 lead on a 24-yard field goal by John Hoyland on the Cowboys' second possession of the game. The scoring drive covered 53 yards on seven plays and took 2:45 off the clock. The drive was highlighted by a 37-yard pass completion from Chambers to Neyor. For Hoyland, he is now 3 of 3 in field goals on the year and 16 of 17 for his career.
On Ball State's next possession, BSU quarterback Plitt was sacked on back-to-back plays by Cole Godbout and Holt. But Plitt came back to complete a 19-yard pass for a first down. On first down at the BSU 40, Plitt through an out route that was intercepted for a "Pick Six" by nickel back Blankenbaker.
Blankenbaker's interception return for a TD went for 50 yards and gave the Pokes a 10-0 lead.
On the first play of the second quarter, the Cowboys took a 17-0 lead, capping off an eight-play, 80-yard drive that resulted in a one-yard touchdown pass from Chambers to tight end Treyton Welch. The drive featured a 33-yard run by Valladay and a nine-yard run by running back McNeely.
* 3 Quick takes: UW's offense a one-trick pony no more
* Behind the numbers: UW vs. Ball State
* Three stars of the game
Ball State drove down to the Wyoming 32-yard line midway through the second quarter. The Cardinals decided to go for a fourth and four at the 32, but on a long throw to the sideline Cowboy cornerback Azizi Hearn broke in front of the intended receiver and broke up the pass, giving the ball back to Wyoming.
It would take the Cowboys only six plays over two minutes and 48 seconds to score its next touchdown.
That drive was highlighted by a pass from Chambers to Valladay across the middle for 35 yards followed by a screen pass to running back Trey Smith for 15 yards two plays later.
On a first and 10 at the Ball State 16-yard line, McNeely broke through the left side of the offensive line and sprinted to the corner of the end zone for his first career touchdown. Wyoming had built its lead to 24-0.
Wyoming's defense forced the second turnover of the game on the Cardinals' next possession. BSU quarterback Plitt dropped back on third and six at the Wyoming 47-yard line. That is when Jones sacked Plitt and knocked the ball loose. Defensive end Pate recovered the fumble at the BSU 31.
On the first play after the turnover, Chambers hit Neyor on a 20-yard completion on the sideline. Chambers then kept the ball on a rush up the middle for seven yards. Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl called a timeout with 30 seconds remaining. After an incompletion, Valladay carried for three yards to the one-yard line for a first down, with 22 seconds remaining in the half. Wyoming took a second timeout. Chambers then rolled right on the final play of the drive and ran into the end zone, giving the Pokes a 31-0 lead.
With 17 seconds remaining in the half, Wyoming attempted a squib kick down the middle of the field on the kickoff. The ball was picked up by wide receiver Justin Hall for the Cardinals, and he proceeded to return the kick 72 yards down to the Wyoming 26 with only six seconds remaining in the half. After a delay of game on first down, Plitt completed a nine yard pass to the UW 23. BSU place-kicker Jake Chanove came in to attempt a 40-yard field goal, but the kick went wide right and the half ended with Wyoming leading 31-0.
The only scoring drive of the third quarter was engineered by Ball State. The Cardinals began their final possession of the third quarter at their own 13-yard line. They drove 87 yards in 15 plays and running back Will Jones scored on a one-yard TD run.
The Cowboys looked like they may have stopped the drive at the Wyoming 26 when Ball State back-up quarterback John Paddock threw an incomplete pass on third and five, but Wyoming's Blankenbaker was called for interference.
That penalty moved the ball to the Wyoming 11-yard line. Three plays later running back Jones scored the Cardinals' first touchdowns. Ball State missed the extra point and the score was 31-6 in favor of Wyoming.
Wyoming responded with a scoring drive of its own as the game entered the fourth quarter.
Chambers completed two big pass plays on the drive -- one of 17 yards to tight end Colin O'Brien and a 15-yarder to Neyor. Valladay would score his first TD of the day on a one-yard run. The drive covered 75 yards in 11 plays and took 5:55 off the clock. With 11:04 to go in the fourth quarter, Wyoming held a 38-6 advantage.
Ball State put together an eight-play, 75-yard scoring drive concluding with a 19-yard TD run by running back Carson Steel. BSU's two-point conversion failed, and the score was 38-12 in favor of the Cowboys.
The final points of the game were scored by Muma with his interception and 45-yard return for a touchdown, capping off a great day for the Cowboys and making the final score 45-12 in a matchup of the last two Arizona Bowl Champions.
Wyoming will travel to Connecticut next Saturday, Sept. 25 to face UConn at 1:30 p.m., Mountain Time. That game will be broadcast on radio over the 26 affiliate stations of the Cowboy Sports Network and will be televised on CBS Sports Network.

NBA Daily Fantasy Predictions 5/4/18 Will Donovan Mitchell shine again?
Friday's NBA Daily Fantasy Picks
The NBA Playoffs for Friday feature a pair of Western Conference semifinal games. Here's our suggested Daily Fantasy plays for the night's action.
Point Guard – Pelicans' Rajon Rondo (vs. Golden State, 8PM ET) $7,300
Rondo has been stellar all playoffs and continues to garner a price tag much lower than the other superstars in tonight's game. Rondo has double-digit assists in six of his last seven games and I expect him to continue to create offense with the Pelicans in a must-win game tonight at home.
Shooting Guard – Jazz' Donovan Mitchell (vs. Houston, 10:30PM ET) $8,300
Let's face it, the Jazz are Mitchell's team. Mitchell does a little bit of everything for Utah and he is the guy looking to put the team on his back when needed. He stepped up again in Houston despite not shooting all that well, racking up 11 assists with 17 points. Returning home, I expect another big game from the rookie tonight.
Small Forward – Jazz' Joe Ingles (vs. Houston, 10:30PM ET) $5,700
Ingles has been steady for the Jazz, scoring at least 32 fantasy points in three straight games. In Game 2 of this series, he shot the lights out and hit 7 3-pointers. I don't think he will do that tonight, but he will probably improve on his rebound and assist numbers from the other night to still follow in his current production trend.
Power Forward – Warriors' Draymond Green (at New Orleans, 8PM ET) $8,200
Despite being under-sized in the frontcourt for this series, Green is still putting up huge numbers. He had 64.75 fantasy points in Game 1 while racking up a triple-double. In game two, he had 57.25 fantasy points while being 1 rebound shy of another triple-double. I like Green to continue to be the most productive in the Golden State lineup.
Center – Rockets' Clint Capela (at Utah, 10:30PM ET) $6,700
Capela has been a great player for the Rockets in the playoffs when it comes to fantasy production. He had 45.25 points in Game 2 and 37.5 in Game 1. He has four straight games with double-doubles and I think he will continue to shine tonight. Harden is looking for Capela a lot in the paint and he clearly has the athletic edge over Rudy Gobert.


It was time. Excited parents and guests packed the auditorium. In the wings, students busily tuned instruments, sheet music and lyrics in hand from days of careful rehearsals leading up to this. A primary ensemble stood. Hands held to instruments. A deep breath.
And music! The audience erupted in applause. Hosted by Senior students Rebekah Rivas and College Music Captain Melissa Bird, the annual Soiree was underway. And this year promised to be better than ever.
Choirs, ensembles, and solo performers from trombone to voice rounded off the first half of the evening.
One of the highlights of the evening was Primary singing sensation, Txai Anglin. The year 6 student is becoming a well-known figure in Australian theatre. Fresh from an A (with Honours) result in her Musical Theatre exam, Canberra production of Beauty and the Beast and Harvest Rain's production of Hairspray, Txai played both saxophone and sang a solo piece.
The Primary Choir perform at the annual Soiree.
The annual Soiree aims to not only promote the talent of our students, but provide recognition of their hard work, dedication and bravery as they performed in public. It also raises money to further the program and inspire future generations of creative talents. It was a fantastic night of music that was shared by many. Senior Music students also took the opportunity to honour their teachers and tutors for many years of tutelage and friendship.
Westside Christian College wishes to thank everyone who took time out of their busy schedule to support the Music Department and share such a great night. Stay tuned for more.

Q: Filenames garbled and truncated when accessed through cifs mount I have multiple machines all running Ubuntu 20.04, accessing a shared drive in the form of a Synology NAS. There appears to be a bug in the way character encoding is treated by one of the machines.
Files written to the NAS by machine A will have invalid characters inserted in place of special characters like ":" when read from machines B and C, and when those files are modified by machines B or C, machine A will now see the filename as something like "KXEP9K~U.LOG" instead of the original name.
The inconsistencies in naming do not appear when files are accessed via other means, such as USB sticks or synology sync folders. Only when accessed through the mounted directories. This leads me to believe that it is an issue with character encoding during mount.
All systems have identical output from 'locale'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SAXON Release First Single 'The Faith Healer', Announce New Live Dates
Posted by tarjavirmakari on January 17, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Saxon. Leave a comment
British Heavy Metal legends SAXON unveil the first single, "The Faith Healer", from upcoming, More Inspirations – set for release on March 24th via Silver Lining Music.
Following the release of Inspirations in 2021, More Inspirations is the second 'deep dish' serving of the influences which have fed the mighty Saxon's immensely successful 40+ year career. The first single is an astonishing take on The Sensational Alex Harvey Band's "The Faith Healer".
Frontman Biff Byford comments "We used to see The Sensational Alex Harvey band play this back in the day, they started the set with it, such a fantastic song and fantastic band… big influence!"
Listen To/Watch "The Faith Healer", the "making of" video directed by Jay Shredder at this location.
Whether getting feral with The Animal's "We've Gotta Get Out Of This Place", letting loose a high-octane take on Alice Cooper's "From The Inside", or laying down a ferocious tribute to KISS' "Detroit Rock City", More Inspirations is a joyous trip into the sounds which galvanized the Barnsley boys and continue to get spun on home stereos and tour buses.
Produced by vocalist/co-founder Biff Byford, with Seb Byford helping record the music alongside mixing engineer Jacky Lehmann, More Inspirations also includes enthusiastic takes on Alice Cooper, Rainbow, ZZ Top and Cream, as well as a thunderous "Razamanaz" by Nazareth, a tasty take on The Who's "Substitute", and a thick groove take on Uriah Heep's "Gypsy". Whether this is your first dance with such classic songs, or you've come to see where Saxon were born, More Inspirations delivers the goods and then some.
Following the success of the Seize the World Tour 2022, Saxon will be back on the road in March 2023 for a string of European dates, with special guest's German metal titans RAGE. For a full list of confirmed dates, tickets, and additional information visit this this location.

SAXON Drummer Nigel Glockler: "Saxon have almost completed songwriting for next studio album & are aiming for 2024 release"
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Nigel Glockler, Saxon, The Metal Voice. Leave a comment
Jimmy Kay from Canada's The Metal Voice spoke to Drummer Nigel Glockler from Saxon. In the interview Nigel Glockler gave an update on Saxon upcoming plans as well updates of his new band Six By Six.
Six by Six features the founder of SAGA, guitarist Ian Crichton, 'The' Nigel Glockler, powerhouse drummer for British metal masters SAXON, and vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Robert Berry from 3 and Alliance.
When asked about Six By Six Debut Album
"Basically what happened, they've been writing for a while beforehand. Robert's got a studio in in Northern California sent near San Jose and he said, you know we've got these tracks what do you think? I flew over there and put the drums on and that's how it started. Basically it was great and we get on great. The music's brilliant, we've already started working on the second (Six By Six) album and we're trying to sort out doing some shows next year. It's not a project, this is a band. People say to me, what's it like? I just say imagine the three of us together that's what it is. You know there was nothing set out, we're gonna be like this we're gonna be like this. "
What has been the feedback on the current Saxon Album 'Carpe Diem' and did it make many top albums lists of 2022?
"We're very pleased, I think the songs on it are great, I think the production is great. We've been on a few (Top 2022 Metal Album lists) along with the Six by Six (Album) as well. We're really pleased and personally for me it's been great."
When asked about Saxon updates?
"What's going to happen is we're right in the middle of another album already. The songs are being sort of finalized as we talk. I think then we're going to release it in 2024. and then that'll be a big tour. We've done the writing it's just a case of recording it all now but the writing is the process that takes the time because you've got so many ideas from everyone. We work on them and that's what takes the time."
When asked about upcoming Saxon show or tours
"We're sort of lining up tour dates for next year, we're doing the Monsters of Rock Cruise and we're doing some shows in South America and then we hit Festival season again. Also we're doing some more shows in Germany as well, I think it's about another five or six shows in Germany and a couple in Poland.
I just want to say we're incredibly grateful to all the fans that stuck with us and as I always say we wouldn't be where we are without you."
SAXON Launch New Video for 'Super Nova'
SAXON have launched their new video for 'Super Nova', Taken from the Metal Masterpiece Carpe Diem, get your copy at this location.
Biff Byford comments: "It's about a black hole, which are things I've been interested in and read about, and it's such a fantastic riff that the whole "Supernova" idea fitted well. It's really great to sing, and in rehearsal it just plays itself. The guitar has got that riff that's like muscle memory"

SAXON Release Single + Video 'The Pilgrimage'
Posted by tarjavirmakari on February 6, 2022
Hot on the heels of their 40th Anniversary Castles and Eagles shows at sold out venues (iconic Manchester O2 Apollo and London Hammersmith Eventim Apollo), British Heavy Metal legends SAXON release the third single, "The Pilgrimage", taken from their new album, Carpe Diem (OUT February 4th via Silver Lining Music).
"Pilgrimage is a fantastic word" says Byford, "People go on pilgrimages all the time, not just in a historical or religious sense, but it's about going and visiting either a place that you feel is special in your life or somebody that's meant something in your life. You can go on a pilgrimage to go see your great grandfather who died in the First World War for instance. They're journeys of great weight and importance.""

Carpe Diem Track Listing:
SAXON Drummer Nigel Glockler: "With Us, we just enjoy writing, that is what we are in It for"
Long Time Saxon Drummer Nigel Glockler recently spoke to The Metal Voice about the bands 23rd studio Album 'Carpe Diem' which will be released Feb 4, 2022 via Silver Lining. Glockler also gave some band updates and his opinion on the metal guys Top 10 Saxon songs.
Excerpts from the interview
When the new album compared to the last album
"The Pandemic obviously screwed up the timeline, I actually recorded the drums at the end of 2019. We have changed a few things since. The original release date for the album was February of last year but the Pandemic hit and the record company didn't want to release it cause you couldn't go on tour. I think the Pandemic just gave us more time to hone things down. "
When asked about how the band continues to release new music while other bands just rely on playing their greatest hits
" With us (Saxon) we just enjoy writing, that is what we are in It for and doing new albums and coming up with new music. This is the way we do it, seems to be working ok so far. (laughs).
When asked about what is next for Saxon
"We did those two gigs last weekend, Hammersmith and Manchester and the next thing for us is festival season. So we got about two three months off so we already started thinking about getting ideas ready for the next album, rather than waste time, let's get ahead of the game so when that time comes around we are in good shape."
SAXON Unmask New Single 'Remember The Fallen'
British Heavy Metal legends SAXON have released the second single, "Remember the Fallen", from their upcoming album, Carpe Diem – set for release February 4th via Silver Lining Music.
"I wanted to write a song about Covid, about the people that have died, and give my perception of how it seemed to happen" offers Biff Byford. "Certain aspects of it all are quite mysterious, and of course, it hasn't finished yet, has it? We should all remember those who have died as a group of people not really knowing why they died, because the information wasn't there."
The release of "Remember the Fallen" is also accompanied by a reportage-style video montaged with footage of the band's individual recording sessions. Listen To/Watch the recently released "Carpe Diem (Seize the Day)" at this location
Sneap, himself a guitarist and producer of some metal repute, ensures that Carpe Diem does not lack one ounce of grit or sharpness.
"Andy's obviously a very good guitarist," says Biff, "but he's not a blues-based guitarist like our guys are, he's more of a modern style player. And that means the boys (Paul Quinn and Doug Scarratt) love working with him because, again, it's all about the intensity. Andy's always pushing the envelope, he doesn't let them get away with anything. They have to play it for real, full speed. He gets great sound, and we want that Gibson/ Marshall '80s sound even if they're not Gibsons and Marshalls. We try and retain that British metal guitar sound that we created for Saxon, and he's definitely an '80s child."
Despite a career which has spanned 44 years with over 15 million albums sold, including four top 10 UK albums, and having played to hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide, Saxon are revving up for one of their busiest eras yet.
"We're gonna be quite busy this year," says Biff. "There are festivals which have been rescheduled from two years ago, we're looking to go to America, we're also going to tour UK and Europe later in the year and like everyone really, we're just keeping our fingers crossed that everything works out and we can do it all. We're also recording the second Inspirations album, and as we do that, you never know, we might write a few songs for the next Saxon album…"
As you can see, Saxon remain committed to seizing every minute of every hour of every day. Carpe Diem indeed!
Carpe Diem will be available in a variety of formats and pre-orders can be placed at this location

Der heilige Clemens von Metz († gegen Ende des 3. Jahrhunderts) war der erste Bischof von Metz. Sein Gedenktag ist der 23. November, in Anlehnung an den Gedenktag des heiligen Clemens von Rom. Darstellungen zeigen Clemens von Metz in bischöflichem Gewand bei der Säuberung des Metzer Amphitheaters von der Schlangenplage.

Geschichte
Über das Leben des heiligen Clemens ist wenig bekannt. An der Stelle des römischen Amphitheaters vor den Toren von Metz ist für die zweite Hälfte des 3. Jahrhunderts eine Kirche mit Friedhof nachgewiesen. Später soll an gleicher Stelle eine Clemenskirche gestanden haben, heute befindet sich dort der Hauptbahnhof von Metz.

Nach Torsy sollen im Jahr 1090 die Gebeine des heiligen Clemens im Auftrag des Bischofs Hermann in die Metzer Bischofskirche überführt worden sein. In den Wirren der Französischen Revolution wurden die Überreste verstreut.

Legende

Clemens soll die Stadt Metz von einer Schlangenplage und vom Drachen Graoully/Grauli befreit haben.

Der Legende nach schickte der Apostel Petrus drei Missionare in die Gegend von Metz: Clemens, Felix und Celest. Clemens rettete durch Wunderkraft einen Hirsch vor der Hundemeute einer Jagdgesellschaft. Wenig später erweckte er die plötzlich verstorbene Tochter des Prätors Orgus zum Leben. Schließlich befreite er Metz vom Drachen Graoully, den er an seiner Stola aus der Stadt führte und vom Erdboden verschlucken ließ.

Ein Modell des Drachen, das bei Prozessionen durch die Stadt geführt wurde, ist heute in der Krypta der Kathedrale von Metz zu sehen.

There are now two declared armies in the battle over taxing capital gains, with the launch of a new pro-capital gains tax campaign on Monday.
While the country waits for the Government's response to the Tax Working Group's recommendation that a capital gains tax be introduced, heated debate over the issue continues.
The latest force to enter the fray is a group called Tax Justice Aotearoa, which is promoting a petition that calls for the Government to "join the modern world" and introduce a capital gains tax.
The group's organisers Louise Delany and Paul Barber argue that New Zealand's tax system is unbalanced and unfair and that the debate over tax is being dominated by wealthy property owners.
However, despite a well-publicised campaign launch, it has been reported that more journalists than members of the public attended the launch. As at 10am Tuesday (a day after the launch), just over 1,000 people had signed the petition.
On the other side of the battle field, the New Zealand Taxpayers' Union launched its campaign against a capital gains tax last week.
Taxpayers' Union executive director Jordan Williams says the capital gains tax proposed by the TWG would be the least fair, most punitive in the world.
They are calling on the Government to reject the TWG's recommendations outright.
"While Dr Cullen is trying to convince the public that this is a tax on the wealthy, most New Zealanders will be hit by the tax at some point in their life.
Williams says they aim to enable taxpayers to ensure politicians hear from those who will be personally affected by the tax.
To that end, they have launched a tool called Axe This Tax. It allows people to email Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters to tell them how they will be affected by a capital gains tax.
Both the National Party and the ACT Party are already actively campaigning against the introduction of a capital gains tax. National Party leader Simon Bridges has also pledged to repeal any capital gain tax introduced when his party returns to power.
Meanwhile, a new Business NZ commissioned poll shows that 65% of respondents don't think a capital gains tax should be a priority for the Government; 54.3% don't think there should be a tax on businesses and farms; and 49.8% don't think there should be a CGT on property.
The Government is expected to announce its final decision on the TWG's proposals at the end of April but if they do decide to introduce a capital gains tax it won't come into play until 2021.

If Capital gains tax as seen as an anomaly that needs fixing, then there is an even greater one and one should not be considered without the other.
That is only land owners pay council rates on property and yet rates are to provide for all of the services we all enjoy. Non rate payers are getting a free ride at the expense of property owners.
