This post is part of a series. Catch up on previous Adventures in Fundraising posts here.
So this "regular update" thing turned out to be harder than I thought. When I started this journey I committed to weekly updates on our progress. That did not happen. Based on the way it didn't happen I'm rethinking the goal. Theoretically, weekly updates should be a great motivation and accountability tool.
I posted a goal, the week flew by and before I knew it, it was time to report– but I didn't have anything substantial to say. Feeling crappy about that, I put off the report for a couple of days, expecting to get more work done so I'd have something to report. The longer I wait, the more I feel like I need to include before I write. Then the guilt →procrastination, cycle ensues.
So, I'm going to release the pressure on this for a bit. I'm still committed to writing about what works and what doesn't, but without a deadline on when those updates will happen.
On to the real update!
I mentioned last time that while it feels like we are just starting out, we'd been talking about fundraising for awhile. Until I went back to look for the specifics, I didn't realize just how much had been done.
We developed a strategic plan for 2010 and have made (and continue to make) some progress towards those goals. One of the goals, applying for non-profit (501c3/ charity) status is nearly done and required us to develop the same kinds of materials we need to kick off a strong fundraising campaign. We even completed one small fundraising campaign and set the stage for another, broader ask.
We also have a good start on the foundation we need for the 2011 fundraising campaign. According to the NOLO book, creating a list of your organization's fundraising assets is a key element to building a fundraising plan. And, because it's NOLO there is also a handy chart. While this version of the chart is empty for now, we did a very similar exercise in a board meeting last year, so we've got a great place to start. We need to make some updates, and we've got some "translation" work to do, but most of the heavy lifting is finished.
In addition to knowing what we have, we need to know what we need. In other words, we need a budget. While I was on vacation, other board members (Thanks J. and Greg!) were hard at work capturing the Mach 30 budget for 2010 (so much easier when the year is almost over!) and drafting the 2011 budget. We still need to work with the whole board to finalize the budget and go through a formal approval process, but again, mostly done.
Now that we know what we have, and know what we need for 2011, we can spend some board meeting time deciding how to use our assets to raise the money we will need. Sounds simple! I'll let you know how it goes.
We are well on our way to a fundraising plan for 2011. You may, however have noticed 2010 isn't actually over. So rather than waiting until January to kick off our efforts, We are planning a "mini campaign" for the rest of 2010.
The most expensive (and most effective) thing we do right now to spread the word about Mach 30 is send people to conferences. Since we have no budget to speak of, travelers have been covering this expense out of pocket. While we don't think it's appropriate for Mach 30 to cover 100% of such expenses, we would like to be able to contribute. We'd also like other active Mach 30 participants (beyond board members) to access the travel funds.
I've not worked out the details on this campaign yet–so if you have ideas, now is the time to share them in the comments!

Adventures in Fundraising: Where do I start?
In my introduction post, I indicated we were just starting to think about fundrasing at Mach 30. That's not exactly true. We've been talking about it for while. We are accepting donations, and have raised a little bit money.
We just can't seem to build any momentum. Part of the problem is time. I've never seen a nonprofit with enough time and resources to do all that they wanted to do–and that problem is intensified in all volunteer organizations. This long to-do list makes it easy for the things we don't really know how to handle to go from the back burner to being pushed right off the back of the stove.
I also don't think it's a matter of technical expertise. On the surface at least, none of the individual strategies nonprofits use to raise money seem especially difficult. When we talk about the need to raise money in board meetings we get very excited, we schedule meetings to decide how to move forward. This is where we get stuck. We start talking about fundraising, which leads to a discussion about target markets and then marketing in general. That discussion leads to a discussion of programing, and then we start drafting a budget. After an hour or so of that conversation, it's hard to remember where we started. It is like grabbing a rope in the middle and then trying to follow it to the end, only to discover there is no end but rather a seamless loop.
In order to move forward, we need a concrete place to start.
Propose a concrete next step toward a concrete, actionable fundraising plan.

Q: What is the preferred way to handle multiple test cases in Xunit? I have migrated to using Xunit for unit tests from NUnit.  With NUnit, I would create one method with multiple test cases that have the same outcome. For example, the following NUnit unit test tests the validation of a class constructor, specifically the "name" variable.  The name can't be null, empty or whitespace.  The test checks that an ArgumentNullException is correctly thrown:
    [Test]
    [TestCase(null)]
    [TestCase("")]
    [TestCase("     ")]
    [ExpectedException(typeof(ArgumentNullException))]
    public void Constructor_InvalidName_ExceptionThrown(string name)
    {
        // action
        make_Foo(name);
    }

    private make_Foo(string name)
    {
        return new Foo(name);
    }

This is how I have implemented this using Xunit:
    [Fact]
    public void Constructor_InvalidName_ExceptionThrown()
    {
        Assert.Throws<ArgumentNullException>(() => new Foo(null));
        Assert.Throws<ArgumentNullException>(() => new Foo(""));
        Assert.Throws<ArgumentNullException>(() => new Foo("    "));
    }

This seems bad for two reasons - I have multiple Asserts in what is supposed to be a "unit" test, and with the test cases buried within the method (which could get a lot more complicated in some of the other unit tests).
What is the preferred way to handle multiple test cases in Xunit?

A: You can use the Theory attribute to the same effect:
[Theory()]
[InlineData(null)]
[InlineData("")]
[InlineData("     ")]
public void Constructor_InvalidName_ExceptionThrown(string name)
{
    Assert.Throws<ArgumentNullException>(() => new Foo(name));
}

I am not sure if xUnit has am attribute equivalent to ExpectedException however. If there is, I would not use it.
There used to be an  ExpectedException attribute in xUnit but it has since been deprecated in favour of Assert.Throws.

Corporate Photography by Ingrid Weel Media Ltd.
"We had the privilege to work with Ingrid for a team photoshoot earlier this week.
As a organisation that supports local charities, we are always crying out for great images from these groups to share across our online channels. What we lacked, were any professional photographs of ourselves!
Ingrid creates a fun and relaxed atmosphere and manages to get images you didn't know you had in you!!
The headshot events are such great value, there is just no reason to be using poor quality images to promote you and your business. If you are professional, then use a professional!"
"Having my corporate head shot taken by Ingrid was a real pleasure. She has an intuitive knack of putting you at ease while positioning you for the shoot in a way that brings the best of yourself. I was delighted with the results".
"Ingrid photographed our launch workshop and really captured the vibe of the evening with some amazing shots. She was discreet and didn't disrupt the workshop in any way yet from the photographs seemed to be in the middle of the action! We have a great catalogue of images to use for promotional purposes now and would absolutely recommend Ingrid wholeheartedly."
"I'd been meaning to invest in a professional headshot for some time; being in the recruitment industry LinkedIn is a crucial part of my business. My profile pictures have historically been cropped in photos taken on my iphone by a 4 year old and selfies that were often taken after one too many wines.
Having recently set up my own business, costs were tight and so they had to do; that's until I came across Ingrid Weel's Headshot Events. An incredibly cost effective way to bring professional headshots to your social media, website, marketing and anywhere else a high quality image is required.
Even in a short time Ingrid gets great results because she makes you feel instantly comfortable, she directs you effortlessly, shows you images as you go and energetically collobrates with you on ideas.
She understands business and the different scenarios the photos might be used for; she'll make sure you get a variety of photos to suit your needs."
"Ingrid is very talented and creative, follows the brief and delivers excellent work on time and in budget. She has a really positive 'can do' attitude and is never fazed by challenges or setbacks. We love working with her."
"Ingrid was fantastic. She made me feel really relaxed and got some fantastic shots. I loved her creativity in getting themed shots (with pillows and clocks) for my sleep business. Thanks!"
"We are absolutely thrilled with the photos from our Sleep Out event. Ingrid captured the essence of the night perfectly, getting a wide range of brilliant natural shots of our guest speakers, entertainment, catering, and our participants without fuss or interference. The group shot is a favourite - how she managed to coordinate getting 200 people together to all jump and smile at the same time I don't know! Thank you Ingrid for your expertise, it was so reassuring to have you there getting on with the job and delivering brilliant results. I hope you're free same time next year!"
"Ingrid was professional and made feel at ease during the photo shooting session. The photos are great and received lovely comments when using on my social media. I would no hesitation to recommend Ingrid. If you are looking for some photos to use for your business pages, have no doubt call Ingrid."
"I cannot emphasise how delighted I was with the quality of photos taken by Ingrid. The attention to detail exquisite and work ethic shown second to none."
I would not hesitate in inviting Ingrid back into school."What a fun way to spend 15 minutes! I have heard from many people that Ingrid makes the experience very light-hearted and fills you with confidence. They weren't wrong! She knows what she wants from you and so gives clear direction. Take some different tops & some props if you want - and it will all happen in 15 minutes. You have nothing to lose!!
"We were very pleased with the quality of the photographs and they were exactly what we requested. Ingrid made all the staff feel at ease during the photo shoot"
"After getting by without a professional headshot for a number of years, I decided the time had come, and chose Ingrid's service after a number of recommendations. If I'd known how easy, painless and (even fun!) it would be to have my photo taken, I would have done it years ago. I now have photos that look great, make me look "proper", and that I'm proud to share.
"I know so many people who speak highly of Ingrid's photography skills, so when I required some new corporate and personal head shots, Ingrid was my first choice. Ingrid was fantastic. Professional & organised yet relaxed and friendly. The headshots were excellent. I'm really pleased and would highly recommend Ingrid's services."
"I am delighted with the prints and high resolution DVD images I have ordered from our performance at GoFest 2017...Ingrid was such a great pleasure to work with on the day, and her images are really excellent.
Her website is great, she has been very helpful through the ordering process, and my order arrived very promptly... Highly recommended."
"Hi Ingrid - What can I say!? You're a fab person. You put people at ease when taking their photos. You don't do unnecessary "fancy" shots. Very pleasant to work with and would recommend you anytime. Thanks, again!
"We were very pleased to engauge Ingrid Weel Media again this year for the 9th Technical Analyst Awards at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington. As usual Ingrid gave us the record we needed and some artistic shots for publicity. Above all though, she caught the fun and humour of this black tie event. It was a great evening and that comes throught clearly in he photos. We look forward to working with her again at the 10th annual awards. "
"I absolutely love my new headshot! I was in need of a new photo and Ingrid achieved the perfect look. She is so skilled at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera and she didn't mind me briefing her on the look I wanted either! I can't recommend Ingrid's headshot service highly enough."
"Ingrid is a professional, who knows how to make you feel relaxed and get the best out of you in front of the camera."
"A ball of energy and creativity, Ingrid is great fun to work with, is a master at adapting to challenging shoot conditions, and always delivers great results. Recommended."
"Ingrid is a genius, an expert photographer with a shrewd understanding of human behaviour which is a winning combination when it comes to difficult customers. I know how hard it is to take a good photo of me … many have tried, few have succeeded! Ingrid managed to take several, though I'm sure she'd admit it wasn't easy, and she really did go the extra mile for me. I was amazed at how many I had to choose from and now I have to agonise over which one to put on the back of my book!
Thank you so much Ingrid, I'm very grateful for your skill and expertise. "
"...Ingrid has done a fantastic job! I have no idea how she managed to take these brilliant pictures of me..
I only can say a BIG THANK YOU INGRID AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOUR EXPERTISE!"
"...camera-shy, I always dreaded having my picture taken and generally try to avoid times when a lens is pointed my direction. When I needed professional photos taken I turned to Ingrid Weel and her humour, professionalism and advice made the shoot a breeze, even for a subject as difficult as myself. She really made me feel at ease in front of the camera. Her photography and post-shoot skill provided me with professional headshots that I was extremely happy with and that I am pleased to use on various marketing and online platforms. I couldn't recommend her too much, she really is an exceptional photographer"
"Ingrid immediately made me feel welcome into her home and it was clear we were on the same page regarding the intention of the CV portrait photography shots. A beautiful person and an experienced professional, I am very pleased with the outcome and the quality has also been praised by agencies I have applied with."
"A true professional through & through, the shots for my OhMySkin product launch were just excellent, polished & powerful. Thank You Ingrid :0)"
"I needed to update my corporate photos for my website and social media profiles. I'd been impressed by Ingrid's pictures of the Business over Breakfast events, so when Ingrid advertised her Head Shot event, I grabbed the opportunity to work with a true professional who is approachable, friendly and fun. Ingrid goes to great lengths to make her subjects feel relaxed so that she can get the best out of them in each picture and present them in the best light.
After just half an hour's shoot and a lot of laughter, Ingrid presented me with a range of top quality images to help me to promote my business. I wouldn't hesitate to recommended Ingrid Weel to my clients and colleagues."
"I first became a client of Ingrid's some 5 and a half years ago. She has an engaging and relaxing manner that brings out the best in her subjects. I have engaged her several times.
I actively seek opportunities to recommend her to my friends and family."
"I needed to raise my profile on Linkedin and decided to get a professional photograph or set of photographs to use on the site and with future job applications. Ingrid was recommended and I found the whole process and experience effective and efficient. Ingrid is professional, friendly and provides an excellent service."
"Ingrid makes uncomfortable people look very relaxed and takes brilliant photographs! Thank you Ingrid!"
Rai Kaushal - Director at Solidbubble Ltd.
"Ingrid was a real pleasure to work with- she has an amazing eye, and composes great scenes with the natural surroundings as her background. Her photos are by far the best I've ever had- they look like they belong in a magazine, which is where they will be used! No surprise that she is sought after by the editors. "
"...Much appreciated your time on the day and for the record, you have made an important part of Loseley's history!...Thank you very much for your assistance."
"I like Ingrid's can do attitude. She is always very enthusiastic, gets the job done in a very professional manner and I know I can always rely on her to take great pictures, whatever the brief."
"Ingrid came to the do company pictures for our new and updated website ( www.broadbean.com ). A number of people in the team were hesitant about having their photos taken but Ingrid did an excellent job of making people feel at ease. The final result was great and several people have asked for a copy of their individual images because they liked them so much. I would definitely recommend Ingrid for any photography work in the future. "
"Ingrid understands the importance of, and the style required for, a company-wide set of consistent but not boring head shots. She has done this twice for us, with top-ups in between, and manages to get both the timorous and the wannabes to look confident and competent. We then have appropriate shots for our web-site, our proposals, and Skype.
In addition, Ingrid works around our needs when actually taking the photographs, fitting in with lunch or coffee breaks on the rare occasions when we are all together - no drama added or time wasted . . ."
David Nairn - Finance Director at Quin-essence Ltd.
"With over 80 members of staff needing profile pictures for our corporate website, Ingrid exceeded our expectations by capturing each and every employee and their personality in a very short time-frame. With a specific brief – heads & shoulder on a bright white background, we knew that the photo-shoot could be difficult but Ingrid's professional and personable approach put each employee at ease, and more importantly very pleased with their picture. I would highly recommend Ingrid. We certainly don't need anyone else for our corporate photography!"
"As part of our corporate marketing, I engaged with Ingrid to produce appropriate photographs of the three principles in our business. Ingrid did this work for us promptly and at our offices. She took on board exactly what we were trying to achieve and put all of us at our ease, to create some really good images. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ingrid for good quality corporate work."
"Ingrid, thank you so much for the amazing head shots that you did for me so that I had updated images for my profile pictures...I got some great options to pick from (including some fun ones with the props which I wouldn't have even thought of if you hadn't suggested them) and have had so many positive comments...I would not hesitate to recommend you and look forward to getting more done soon!"
"Having used Ingrid for corporate and personal head shots I can highly recommend her for any of your photographic needs...Professional shots and a professional service all round, Ingrid makes the whole experience relaxed and fun. Perfect if you are not a natural in front of the camera like me!"
Paul Gully - Digital Freight Ltd.
"Ingrid almost feels like part of the team, initiating new members of staff with a photograph for the company website and attending our last two company Christmas party's to take some festive pictures of the entire team. She is alive with energy during photo-shoots making people feel happy and confident and always sneaks in a few fun shots too :) It's a pleasure to work with Ingrid for our company requirements. Many thanks!"
"We used Ingrid because she showed most imagination when we needed our corporate management team photographed both in formal and informal way for magazine feature and our corporate web site... Ingrid showed great skill in taking great pictures and bring different perspective to our photographic needs."
"We have used Ingrid's services several times and will continue to do so. Her staff photos are taken quickly, professionally, with minimum disruption to our business and are well received by our staff, all at a competitive price."
"I have used Ingrid's services many times and the pictures are always fabulous. Ingrid definitely knows how to get the best out of you. I have also recommended Ingrid's services to many of my business contacts and they have always been pleased with what has been delivered. "
"What can i say?! You were and are Brilliant!!!"
"Ingrid is highly professional and will bring out the very best in a client, whether you need an informal portrait or business head shot. In a short space of time we produced many different looks and portraits and it was fun too".
"Thanks so much for coming and doing our extensive set of photos for us. We are very pleased with the results and the incredible thing is that you have really captured the essence and culture of our company"
"Ingrid is a great photographer. Her friendly nature makes her a joy to work with, and her imagination and dedication always ensure she gets the perfect shot."
Sasha Noquet - Genesis Publications Ltd.
"Just want to say THANK YOU for all your efforts and support over the last few weeks in preparation for the conference. I cannot believe this was our third conference together!! It went well and (so far) we have received positive feedback from the stakeholders. We had 207 delegates turn up on the day, in addition to 78 staff and crew. And my feet are still aching!I am so grateful for your help – the first set of images look great and cannot wait to see the others!! Thank you again!"
" Ingrid is excellent at producing professional head-shots that are both fun and engaging. She made me feel relaxed and I was surprised how much I enjoyed the session"
"Have your head shot taken by Ingrid Weel photography. I had mine done today and Ingrid was brilliant, a true professional. Don't risk having your business or special day ruined by second rate photography, turn to the Weel!"
"I can highly recommend Ingrid for your business photos regardless if you are a one man band or a big corporate company. I was in need of some photos to help promote my business so attended her recent 'Head shot' event. I now have a brilliant selection of photos to chose from after being 'shot' by Ingrid. Perfect for all aspects of my business, corporate, professional and caring. Ingrid made me feel comfortable in front of the camera and came up with some great ideas for the photos which shows in the end result, check out my new profile photo!"
"They're fantastic! What a great record of the day... Some great mileage in these – good job girl"
"There are some really great ones in here – you're so brilliant at making me laugh and relax! I am taking on a no.2 so can you let me know when you are running the next head shot event ...?"
"... thank you for all the photos you took of Memset. I have had a huge amount of positive comments back from all staff members, telling me that you were not only a great photographer but they also had fun having their photos taken. For a technology company where I often struggle to get any of the development team or support team to "pose" for the camera this is a vast improvement on our normal reluctant faces. Our admin team also noted that they actually looked like people in their photos and that they were impressed with the result. I can not thank you enough for your work with the staff here and I will look forward to the next photo shoot!"
"Thanks for a very professional photo shoot yesterday to which has given me some excellent pictures for our corporate images."
"Ingrid took some great head shots for me to choose from for use on my Linked-in account. Clearly a consummate professional, with a knack for getting a laugh or a smile from her otherwise frigid subject, she has clearly been around the block a few times, as the saying goes. Strongly recommended."
"Ingrid has created a collection of photos that have captured our live event perfectly. Not only do we now have some great speaker shots in action but also ones that capture the atmosphere and energy in the room. A very usable collection of photos which will work really well in our future event marketing."
"I was very pleased with the relaxed friendly way in which the photo shoot was conducted, and delighted with the quality of the photographs that were produced"
"I really enjoyed our series of corporate and charity photo-shoots last week. You have a remarkable talent for not only framing inspiring pictures but also relaxing everyone to give the shots a natural and vibrant feel. I look forward to the next time."
"I was quite nervous before your visit, but I needed to have some good pictures for marketing purposes so I invited you in with trepidation. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the photo shoot! You quickly and naturally put me at my ease and you had a clear understanding of what I needed. I now have some fabulous pictures to use and that's an impressive achievement given that they are of a middle aged female accountant! Thanks very much Ingrid"
"We commissioned Ingrid to provide her professional photography services to our 40th Birthday open evening celebration where we welcomed all our clients and suppliers. Ingrid adapted herself to provide a full range of professional head shots and actions shots which really captured our event to the maximum and has allowed us to have a permanent visual memory of the event. We are very proud of our history and are thrilled with the quality of the pictures captured which we will be using on our website, our stationery as well as our marketing material to full benefit. Thanks for being so flexible to our needs and helping to capture the practice and the event so well."
"Ingrid is a fantastic photographer and has really mastered her craft. I was a photo shoot virgin but Ingrid made me feel at ease straight away with her professionalism and humour. Aside from the conventional mug shots Ingrid showed her creative flair with some interesting angles and reflections! - Brilliant."
"Ingrid photographed our letting team last week and she made the whole performance fun and light hearted which in turn made us look relaxed and natural. we were very pleased with her efficient service and I will use her again."

How Would Our Ancestors View the 21st Century?
By Anthony Esolen
What is the worst thing about living near an open sewer? It is not that you sicken at the stench of it every time you leave your front door. It is that the noisome vapors are so pervasive, and you have lived with them so long, you no longer notice it. What is the worst thing about living in the rubble of a civilization? It is not that you shed a tear for the noble churches and courts and town halls you once knew, as you recall years filled with religious services, parades, block parties, and all the bumptious folderol of an ordinary civic life. It is that you do not even suspect that such things existed.
But how would it be if a time traveler were to go back behind the upheaval and let the people glance into the future? It's a feature of the American narrative that in all respects things improve over time, so that you can point to vaccines that have eliminated such dreaded diseases as polio and tuberculosis, or to ribbons of highways that bind up the country, or to the machine on which I am writing this essay now—the computer that puts in my grasp a vast library of human knowledge.
Our time traveler reveals these things, and the eyes of his audience grow glassy with wonder. Imagine—the poems of Tennyson, a few seconds away! The Dorsey band in person, Van Cliburn on the piano, Heifetz on the violin, Rembrandt in bold color, great things for everyone and not only for the rich who can travel. But then you will have to explain. No, a thousand to one, ten thousand to one, the people who use the instrument will be gazing at pornography rather than at the Masters. Then you will have to explain the term "pornography:" smut. And say that most high school students will never have heard of Tennyson, much less read his poems, but that almost all of them will have gazed at smut, some of them day after day.
The faces of the audience darken. Then, one among them, wiser than the rest, asks the obvious question: "How then shall we live?"
There is a country road that straggles its way over a mountain nearby. Lovers go there and pull over at a lookout, where they listen to music and engage in what's called "necking." It never goes beyond that because most of them are pretty good kids and understand that bearing children is for marriage and so is the child-making thing. That understanding allows them to be there in the first place. Innocence—even such compromised and sometimes failing innocence as we possess in a healthy culture—makes for freedom. You will have to tell the audience that there is no necking anymore. You will tell them that, as a rule, it is either sex or nothing. For the worst or the weakest among us, then, there is danger and heartbreak and, eventually, the protective callus of nihilism—even the shedding of blood. For the purest among us, and the most responsible, there is loneliness.
They have dances all the time, don't they? Merry things that bring out young people in flocks, chaperoned by their elders, who usually partake in the dancing too, since music and dance are shared by all. Hardly a week goes by without a big dance somewhere. You will tell them that that's all gone. You will tell them that the older generation feels absolutely no duty to bring young people together in a healthy and decent way. They are too busy engaging in their own debauches or they are simply alienated. They wouldn't know where to begin.
"Where is the sweetness of young love?" they ask you. "Don't people get married anymore?" You point their attention to their streets. There are families in every house. Sometimes it's a grandmother and grandfather whose children have moved "away," to the next block over, or across town, or, since this is America, to the neighboring county. Otherwise, it's a mother and father with children, and the children are everywhere. If the weather is fair, you can hear the music of their games. A boy covers his eyes with his hands and leans against a telephone pole, counting down from 100 by fives, till he cries out, "Ready or not, here I come!" Or is that a ball that's scooting through the "outfield," down the pavement, while the kids cry, "Go, go, go"? What crime can such a place fear, when the streets and alleyways and backyards and porches are governed by spies more restless than any the CIA have ever trained, not to mention their grandmothers rocking on their porches and chatting with one another? Tell them that that is gone.
Tell them that a majority of the houses have no children in them. Tell them that this house here has a married couple who have no children because they don't want any. Tell them that in these houses some people are shacking up. Tell them that a single woman has bought that house. Tell them that two men live in that other one. Tell them that youth is spent not thinking about marriage and then being married, nor even thinking about love and being in love, but thinking about money, college, career, and sex. Tell them that because of these habits, the houses grow more and more expensive because more and more "households" are chasing them—households that are not households really, but atoms of self-fashioning.
Tell them that there are, by far, more women in the workplace than ever before and that they are respected lawyers, doctors, college professors, and career politicians. Tell them that we have cracked the back of public racism so that there are no more segregated hotels or restaurants or schools or businesses. Tell them also that there are by far more women living alone than ever before. Tell them about "trigger warnings" and anti-depressant drugs and boys who are persuaded by their mothers that they are "really" girls and that they want to have their genitals cut off. Tell them that nearly half of all marriages end in divorce. Tell them that far more than half of long sexual liaisons end in "divorce." Tell them that three out of four black children in America are born out of wedlock. Tell them that one out of three young black men will spend time in prison.
Then there are things you can't tell at all because words would not suffice, or because any attempt on your part to describe them would be met with blank incomprehension or disbelief. So you will have to show them. Bring a single copy of a women's magazine chosen at random. Bring a copy of Men's Health. Bring pictures from a Gay Pride parade. Bring a five-minute clip of a television "comedy," again chosen at random. Bring the sex education curriculum for fifth graders in a school district in the United States or Canada. Go to the Young Adult Fiction stacks at your local library, shut your eyes, and bring the first book your hand grasps.
Bring a five-minute clip of The View, or of a public high school cafeteria at lunchtime. Bring a typical video game. Bring photographs of the interior of their churches during services, or of the parking lot where the church used to be. Bring a copy of one of the "art" weeklies in their metropolitan area, and be sure it features the advice column of Dan Savage or the personal ads.
Go to what was once an ethnic neighborhood in an old city and take pictures, plenty of pictures, of gang graffiti, "gentrified" homes turned into law offices, and alleys empty of children. Bring a picture of the security guard posted at a local high school.
Try to explain that some people want to let confused boys strip and shower in a girls' locker room. Try to explain same-sex marriage. Try to explain that women are going to be sent to the front lines. Try to explain the fifty or some odd "genders," two of them genders and the rest of them odd. Try to explain that everything they take for granted about the role of religion in public life is abominated. Try to explain the new meaning of "theocratic."
Bring an ultrasound picture of a child in the womb. Try to explain that the same people who have seen these wondrous pictures believe in the right to cut that child to ribbons, as the fail-safe for fornication or careerism. Try to explain the Belgian Quik-Mart Suicide vans. Try to explain that syphilis and gonorrhea have recruited about thirty more diseases to join their ranks. Try to explain why teenage girls are prone to gonorrhea of the throat. Try to explain "feminism" and why it champions that same "empowerment" of the girls, with the concomitant corruption of the boys. Try to explain why church after church fell to the sibilant seducer of the age, who was "a murderer from the beginning," and "a liar and the father of lies." Place a photograph of an episcopal pederast or protector of pederasts beside a photograph of Fulton Sheen, and try to explain why the former was a media darling, but the latter an object of posthumous scorn.
Take an old prayer book and a pair of scissors and cut from the book every prayer that has been dismissed or forgotten. Take an old hymnal and cut from it every song that was meant to stir the heart of the Christian soldier. Take an old Catholic calendar and black out every feast that has been de-feasted. Take a photograph of the interior of a Catholic church and white out with acid every work of art that has been whitewashed or reduced to splinters and rubble.
Fall to your knees and beg forgiveness. Then get back in your time machine, return to the present, and begin the long slow process of restoration.

When someone falls deeply in love, they often refer to the object of their feelings as a soulmate. Often, these are people who you feel a connection with from the moment the enter your personal orbit. But, what is a soulmate, really? Surprisingly enough, not all the people who serve as soulmates in your life are romantic in nature. There are several different types of people who have souls vibrating at the same level of energy as your own, and not all are potential love connections.
The romantic ones, when found, are usually considered to be "twin flames", where those who are fortunate enough to recognize them feel a deep, intimate connection. It is as if you found a part of your very soul in the body of another, and you're free to be yourself outside of jealousy, ego or possessiveness. A spiritual love that transcends the physical can ensue, and you may feel as if you've known them your entire lives. These connections, when nurtured, can last a lifetime and — quite possibly — beyond.
A belief in past lives isn't really necessary to recognize that this type of soulmate exists. You don't even need to believe in the theory of karmic debt. This type of soul mate comes into your life to teach you important lessons to further the growth of your soul. Sometimes it is a friend, a family member or it could even be your nemesis! Their presence in your life may or may not last forever, but they make an impact on your life for the better, even if it doesn't seem that way at the time. Often there is an attraction to the person that defies rationality, but it often isn't physical or even romantic. They may feel essential to your life as a glass of water, however. And, either through their support or how they challenge you, they lead you to or through your deepest life lessons.
While we may have many friends, connections or acquaintances during the course of our lives, one or two friends stand out as "true friends." These are our kindred; they bring out the best and worst of us at times. They are there when we're down. This type of soulmate will stand up for you publicly when you're wrong, but then scream at you in private when you've screwed up. They tell you the truth even when it isn't what you want to hear and then hold your hand when you cry. You could be apart due to life changes for years — or even decades — and still pick up right where you left off. The relationship can transcend time and space, and you can be completely yourself with them by your side.
While there are many other types of connections that resonate with our soul's vibe in different ways, when you recognize one of the above, your life is forever altered. So, whether you are seeking your twin flame, your teacher or your BFF, know that they will arrive in your life when the time — and your vibe — is right for each.

Significance of May '98 tests in South Asian deterrence

By Beenish Altaf
The year 1998 observed the overt nuclearization of South Asia, when both arch-rivals, India and Pakistan, detonated their nuclear devices. 1998 is celebrated as the advent of second nuclear age, whereas the first being cold war that ended in 1991. So, the peril of horizontal proliferation in South Asia embodied another nuclear arms race after the end of the Cold War. Till now, both India and Pakistan have persistently developed more number of nuclear weapons than they have in 1998. Critics believed that both countries have meticulously developed enough nuclear weapons to destroy each other thrice.
The number of nuclear weapons in South Asia, no matter whether it is strategic or tactical, gives birth to numerous hard questions on the deterrence equilibrium and strategic stability. For example, how much of a numerical advantage or additional nuclear weapons does Delhi and Islamabad think they need over the others? Is Islamabad and New Delhi over-reliant on their nuclear arsenals? Critics believe that for maintaining credible minimum deterrence, the credibility of a sufficient number of nuclear weapons has more significance than a trivial nuclear superiority.
The arms race stability in South Asia benefited Pakistan to maintain its minimum, sufficient, survivable and potent nuclear weapons; whereas most of the critics believe that the pace is execrably fast. Nevertheless, Pakistan attributed its development of nuclear weapons to the widening conventional asymmetry with its neighbour. It is argued that conventional asymmetry is inversely proportional to lower nuclear threshold, which resulted into an execrable nuclear weapons development in South Asia. Pakistan is advocating the rising conventional disparity, putting it in a perilous road to maintain credible minimum deterrence. One critic raised questions about CMD as renunciation of nuclear war fighting.
Ironically, Pakistan is surrounded by two nuclear neighbours and that's the basic reason that motivated Pakistan for nuclear tests, and that was the best timely decision by Pakistan. As there was a need to maintain balance of power and necessary deterrence in the region keeping in mind the ever untrustworthy relations between India and Pakistan.
However, it is imperative to highlight the most concrete driving agent behind such crucial and highly-criticized decision of conducting nuclear weapons test by Pakistan. Obviously, it was India who had actually started this race of acquisition of nuclear weapons in the region. It was India who actually upset the balance of power in the region. Though, Pakistan was long claiming that it did possess nuclear technology but did not intend to test the weapons. However, circumstances nudged Pakistan to test nuclear weapons for deterrence and balancing of power. No country can overlook its security concerns and issues.
Evidently, Pakistan has fought three wars and has many borders collide with its immediate neighbor India since its inception. Furthermore, India ironically designed its Pakistan centric foreign policy to prevail its supremacy in the region and also lobbied with developed nations. It's an open secret that numerous trade and military sanctions were introduced to impose on Pakistan in that decade. However, the US did impose a few on Pakistan. But the then government of Pakistan took a hard decision of not giving up to international pressure and triggered the button of nuclear weapons test to intact sovereignty and security of Pakistan. Local and foreign observers acknowledge that without being a nuclear power, the country might have suffered a serious setback when its eastern neighbour had amassed troops on the border in a threatening posture in 2002.
History of nuclear weapons in the region can be traced backed to 1974 when New Delhi showed its intent to become a nuclear power. During the same time period, it exploded an atomic device, a weapon of mass destruction and named it "Smiling Buddha", rather. After that incident, the then prominent leader of Pakistan, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, commissioned a team of experts to begin preparations to respond on the basis of "even if the nation has to eat grass" to achieve it. Fortunately, succeeding rulers also understood the need and didn't prove to be an obstacle in the way of achieving the target of becoming nuclear power.
After the bold decision of conducting nuclear weapons test, Pakistan faced isolation at international stage. The facts were not highlighted by the international media particularly in the context of ever-existing threat to Pakistan from its conventional rival India. New Delhi's shrewd policies, particularly of acting as a hostile upper riparian and its adamant stand on Kashmir, cannot by any stretch of imagination be termed friendly. The achievement of status of nuclear power has unified the people of Pakistan.
Finally this is the day of pride and revival and celebration of this day refers to acknowledgement of all the scientists' efforts for making Pakistan security unconquered and unchallenged. The day of May 28th, 1998 was a remarkable day not only alone for Pakistan but also for the whole region as after that threat of unbalanced power in the region lost its existence. May Pakistan being nuclear power would be able to play its due role in maintaining peace in the world. Long Live Pakistan!

        var aa = driver.Url;
        Uri uri = new Uri(aa);`enter code here`
         string newTabHandle = driver.WindowHandles.Last();
        var newTab = driver.SwitchTo().Window(newTabHandle);
        string finallandedurltext = newTab.GetComponents(UriComponents.Scheme | UriComponents.Host, UriFormat.UriEscaped);

"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden" (Mt. 5:14).
Located on top of Mount Carmel, the Or HaCarmel ("Light of Carmel") Ministry Center is a residential community established upon faith in God's word and the power of His Spirit to transform lives. The goal of the center is to be a demonstration of God's love to the people of Israel and to impart an understanding of His sovereign purposes to the nations. "I will also make You a light of the nations so that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth" (Is. 49:6).
At Or HaCarmel, our staff is dedicated to building up the community and to serving others as they live and grow together. Since its beginning in 2002, the center has become a place for the development and launching of new projects and areas of service to those in need. Among them are the Dor Elisha (Elisha Generation) Internship—a residential mentoring program for young men, a shelter for women and children in crisis situations, and a hospitality and outreach café.
Or HaCarmel is also the headquarters for the Mount Carmel School of Ministry, a 12-day intensive study tour of Israel for believers from various nations. We have seen many lives impacted by their experience in Israel and interaction with the residents of our community.

SuperSummary, a modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, offers high-quality study guides for challenging works of literature. This 55-page guide for "A Wild Sheep Chase" by Haruki Murakami includes detailed chapter summaries and analysis covering 43 chapters, as well as several more in-depth sections of expert-written literary analysis. Featured content includes commentary on major characters, 25 important quotes, essay topics, and key themes like The Legacy of Japanese History and Time Passing.
A Wild Sheep Chase is the third novel by Haruki Murakami, an internationally-acclaimed author who most recently won the Jerusalem Prize, and whose work has been translated into over fifty languages. It was originally published in 1982.
The 29-year-old narrator of the novel, who is never named, works for an advertising agency in Tokyo and leads a lonely and regimented life. He is divorced, childless, and has a girlfriend who moonlights as a prostitute, proofreader and ear model. The first part of the novel is relatively realistic, describing the narrator's fragmented romantic history and rootless urban existence. The novel opens with the narrator's discovery that a woman with whom he had a casual affair in college—and whose name he cannot recall—has been killed by a passing truck. The novel then jumps ahead in time; the narrator is in the process of splitting up with his wife, for reasons that are never specified. It then jumps ahead two months to describe his present girlfriend, whose ears are mysteriously bewitching to him but who is an unremarkable convenience to him otherwise.
The narrator's quest begins when a well-groomed and inscrutable man visits the advertising agency at which the narrator works. The man has seen a photograph that the narrator has used for an ad campaign that shows a herd of sheep near a mountain somewhere in the wilds of Japan. The narrator was given the photograph by his nomadic and reclusive friend Rat, who has long disappeared from his life but who writes him letters from increasingly remote addresses. The visitor to the ad agency wishes for the narrator to do two things: withdraw the ad from publication and find a particular sheep that is pictured in the ad, which stands out from the other sheep by having a star-shaped mark on its back. The visitor gives the narrator a month to find the sheep, and threatens the narrator and his partner with shutting down their agency and ruining their livelihoods if the narrator does not comply. The visitor is acting on the behest of a mysterious and powerful figure known only as "the Boss," who is mortally ill and who has been somehow psychically invaded by the sheep that the narrator is supposed to track down.
The narrator and his girlfriend attempt to find Rat's whereabouts. They have only the postmark from his last letter for a clue, which leads them to a remote and desolate part of Japan. There, they stay at a run-down hotel called the Dolphin and begin their search for the elusive magical sheep. This search leads nowhere at first, but they run into luck when the proprietor of the hotel tells them that his father, from whom he is estranged, is a former minister of agriculture and lives at the hotel. The father turns out to be an imposing but also ruined figure, whose life has been given over to the same sheep that the narrator is attempting to find. He tells the narrator that he, like the Boss, was "inhabited" by this sheep, but that the sheep then left him. The narrator also spies, in the hotel lobby, a painting that displays the same pastoral scene as Rat's photograph.
The narrator and his girlfriend go up into the mountains surrounding the town, in search of the sheep and the pasture in the photograph. They are driven halfway up by a friendly local shepherd, who then abandons them to walk the rest of the way at an especially precarious turn. The landscape that they come upon is wild and lonely, but also peaceful and beautiful. They stay at Rat's family's former summer house—the place where Rat intimated to the narrator that he was going, in his last letter to him. The house shows signs of recent habitation, but Rat himself is nowhere to be found, and neither is the magical sheep. After their first night together in the house, the girlfriend disappears, and except for occasional visits from a strange hybrid figure called "the Sheep Man"–a short, stout man zipped into a sheep suit–the narrator finds himself entirely alone. It is a state that for him is both ecstatic and disorienting. He occupies himself for the next several days with making meals, taking walks and having occasional visits with the gruff and abrupt Sheep Man, who is evasive about Rat's whereabouts and the whereabouts of his girlfriend.
When the narrator one day notices that the Sheep Man is present on Rat's living room couch, but gives no reflection in the mirror, he realizes that the Sheep Man is a sort of spirit, and perhaps even a figment of the narrator's own imagination. He angrily calls the Sheep Man's bluff, and tells him that he will see Rat that evening. Rat shows up an hour early for their appointed date, but insists that they sit in darkness as they drink beers and talk. It turns out that Rat is, as the narrator has already suspected, a ghost. He tells the narrator that he hung himself a week prior to the narrator's occupancy in the house. He hung himself in order to kill the magical sheep, who had been inhabiting him, as he had inhabited the Boss and the hotel keeper's father before him. Rat further tells the narrator that he had had to get the narrator's girlfriend out of the house (it is unclear whether or not she was killed) because he had found her presence disruptive. He also confirms to the narrator that the Sheep Man was also Rat, though in a different manifestation. Rat then disappears, after telling the narrator that he has a rendezvous at noon the following day with the Boss's emissary: the same man who sent the narrator on his quest to find the sheep, for which the following day is also the deadline.
The following day, the narrator makes his way down the mountain. At the same treacherous bend in the road where the narrator and his girlfriend began the walking part of their journey several days earlier, the narrator discovers the emissary and his chauffeured car waiting for him. The emissary, who has apparently known the location of the meadow in the photograph all along, expresses his satisfaction with the narrator's performance and hands him a large check. The narrator uses this check to finance the new bar of his old hometown acquaintance J, who also knew Rat. The narrator tells J that he and Rat will be his "silent partners." He then takes a solitary walk along the beach nearby (which has been so developed that it is barely a beach at all any more) and weeps, for the first time in the novel.

House of Gold & Bones – Part 1 ist das vierte Studioalbum der US-amerikanischen Rockband Stone Sour. Es erschien am 19. Oktober 2012 in Deutschland und ist der erste Teil des gleichnamigen Doppelalbums. Der zweite Teil, House of Gold & Bones – Part 2, wurde im April 2013 veröffentlicht.

Entstehungsgeschichte

Vorgeschichte
Die Idee für das Konzeptalbum existierte laut Aussagen von Corey Taylor bereits vor dem Erscheinen des letzten Studioalbums Audio Secrecy. Als Slipknot 2011 auf den Sonisphere Festivals spielten, soll die Idee konkreter geworden sein und Taylor begann nach der Tour einige Demos aufzunehmen. Die anderen Bandmitglieder waren laut Taylor von der Idee sofort angetan. Im Studio realisierte die Band jedoch, dass das Material auf zwei Alben verteilt herausgebracht werden müsste.

Produktion
Am 20. März 2012 begann die Band offiziell mit den Arbeiten für ein neues Album. Kurz darauf gab die Band jedoch bekannt, dass der langjährige Bassist Shawn Economaki ausgetreten sei. Die Beweggründe wollte die Band allerdings erst zum richtigen Zeitpunkt erläutern. Gitarrist James Root sprach davon, dass er immer noch ein Freund der Band wäre. Ein fester Ersatz für Economaki wurde bisher nicht bestätigt. Das Album wurde daher von Rachel Bolan eingespielt, wie im Juni bekanntgegeben wurde. Der durch seine Tätigkeit bei Skid Row bekannt gewordene Bassist half während der Aufnahmen der Band vorübergehend im Studio aus und spielte beide Teile ein. Das Album wurde nicht wie zuletzt die beiden Vorgängeralben von Nick Raskulinecz produziert, sondern von David Bottrill. Dieser produzierte schon u. a. Alben für Tool, Staind und Muse. Die Bandmitglieder zeigten sich mit der Produktion zufrieden.

Herkunft des Titels
Der Titel entspringt einem Lied mit dem Namen The House of Gold & Bones, das zu Zeiten der Aufnahmen von Audio Secrecy entstanden ist. Den Titel habe Taylor einem Buch entnommen, welches den Briefverkehr zu Zeiten des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs zum Thema hatte. Darin sollen Glück und Trauer mit den Worten "Gold" und "Bones" beschrieben worden sein. Ihn faszinierte das Wortspiel und nannte es "eine wunderbare Metapher für die Menschliche Seele".

Promotion
Am 11. Juni gab Taylor auf seinem Twitter-Profil bekannt, dass das Album den Namen House of Gold & Bones trägt und aus zwei Teilen bestehen würde. Insgesamt wurden 24 Songs aufgenommen, von denen elf es auf den ersten Teil geschafft haben. Des Weiteren nannte er auch die Titel zu den Songs Absolute Zero, RU486, A Rumor of Skin, sowie Taciturn. Letzteres Stück führte Taylor bereits in einer Acoustic-Version im Rahmen des Download-Festivals 2012 am 9. Juni auf.

Um für das anstehende Album Werbung zu betreiben, veranstaltete die Band via Twitter eine Art Schnitzeljagd. Dabei versteckten die Mitglieder an den Auftrittsorten von Taylors und Roots anderer Band Slipknot, während des Mayhem Festivals Pakete, die Drumsticks, Plektren und letzten Endes auch Liedtexte aus dem neuen Album versteckten. Dann postete die Band ein Foto des Verstecks auf Twitter. Durch in den Paketen enthaltene Codes konnten die Fans auf der Homepage das Cover sowie mit Gone Sovereign und Absolute Zero die ersten Songs freischalten.

Folglich daraus wurden Anfang August die zwei Songs gleichzeitig auf dem YouTube-Kanal von Roadrunner Records hochgeladen. Des Weiteren veröffentlichte die Band die Trackliste. Offiziell wurden sowohl Gone Souvereign als auch Absolute Zero am 24. August als Singles ausgekoppelt. Sie wurden fortan digital auf Amazon und ITunes zum Herunterladen zur Verfügung gestellt. Zu beiden Liedern wurden Musikvideos gedreht, wobei das Video zu Gone Sovereign am 11. Oktober im Internet verbreitet wurde. Am 14. November folgte schließlich das Video zu Absolute Zero. Die Aufnahmen fanden in Des Moines unter der Leitung P.R. Brown statt, der schon für mehrere Musikvideos der Band als Regisseur verpflichtet wurde. Zu anderen Liedern veröffentlichte die Band vereinzelt auf ihrer SoundCloud-Seite 20 bis 30-sekündige Ausschnitte und stellten am 12. Oktober mit RU486 einen weiteren kompletten Song vor, der jedoch bisher nicht als Single veröffentlicht wurde.

Stil
Den Stil des Albums beschrieb Taylor als eine Mischung aus "Pink Floyds The Wall sowie Alice in Chains' Dirt auf Stereoide". Gitarrist Josh Rand fügte hinzu, dass die Songs eine Geschichte ergeben würden. Sie handelt von einem Mann, der in seinem Leben bestimmte Entscheidungen trifft, um einen bestimmten Weg zu gehen, wobei jedes Lied unterschiedliche Seiten seiner Persönlichkeit wiedergibt. Taylor fügte hinzu, dass die betreffende Person auf dem Weg sei, erwachsen zu werden, und sich damit schwer tue. Taylor meinte außerdem, das viel seiner persönlichen Biografie in dem Album stecken würde.

Zudem meinte Rand, dass man sich zu sehr von der Härte des gleichnamigen Debüts entfernt hätte. Da sich Konzeptalben prinzipiell nicht an Regeln halten würden, sei es der Band deshalb möglich gewesen wieder schnellere Stücke zu komponieren. Auch musste die Band anders ansetzen, da man eine Geschichte erzählen wollte.

Bedeutung der Liedtexte in Bezug auf die Handlung

Der Opener Gone Sovereign definiert laut Taylor den Grundton des gesamten Albums. Es geht um das selbstsüchtige Streben nach Leben und ist auch der Ausgangspunkt der Geschichte. Absolute Zero stellt das Gegenteil dar und soll eine unterbewusste Seite in uns allen sein. Die Person möchte darin einen Schritt nach vorne wagen. In A Rumor of Skin taucht erstmals eine Einfluss nehmende Stimme im Unterbewusstsein auf, die wie eine Depression wirkt, jedoch als nicht so schlimm dargestellt wird. In The Travellers Pt. 1 zeigt sich die menschliche Seite des Protagonisten wieder und beklagt sich, dass innerer Frieden vorbei ist. In dem Stück Tired muss die Person im inneren Kampf ein großes Opfer bringen, was sehr viel Kraft kostet. Es besteht die Gefahr, sich mit Schuldzuweisungen aufzuhalten und im Leben nicht weiterzukommen. In RU486 ist der Mann unfähig sich zwischen den inneren Stimmen zu entscheiden. Der Zuhörer bekommt die innere Wut zu hören. Etwas Neues möchte in My Name Is Allen die inneren Stimmen ersetzen und scheint damit den Wahnsinn perfekt zu machen. Jedoch versucht der Mensch in Taciturn alle diese Dinge auf einen Nenner zu bringen und will einen Kompromiss zwischen den Polen herstellen. Dies geht jedoch nicht auf, sodass der Protagonist in The Travellers Pt. 2 erkennt, dass er völlig wehrlos ist. In Last of the Real wird der Zyklus wieder geschlossen, der mit Gone Sovereign begonnen hat, indem die selbstsüchtige Seite wieder ihre Überlegenheit zum Ausdruck bringt. Laut Taylor handelt es sich dabei um eine Art Cliffhanger, der mit dem Anfang von House of Gold & Bones – Part 2 geschlossen wird.

Rezeption
Die Redaktion der deutschen Zeitschrift Metal Hammer kürte House of Gold & Bones – Part 1 in der November-Ausgabe zum Album des Monats. Redakteur Jakob Kranz äußerte, dass man Geduld haben müsse, um das Album zu verstehen, da man es hier mit dem intensivsten Werk von Stone Sour zu tun hätte. Mit diesem Album hätte sich die Band von Slipknot endgültig "abgenabelt". Ihn überraschte vor allem die stilistische Vielfalt die von "Power Rock der Siebziger" bis "Metallica-BLACK ALBUM-Punch" reichen würde. Des Weiteren lobte er die Gesangsleistung von Corey Taylor, die "die Emotionen des Charakters in jeder einzelnen Silbe authentisch transportiert und dabei von wütendem Slipknot-Gebell mit geschwollener Halsschlagader bis hin zum verschwörerischen Geoff Tate-Gemurmel die gesamte Palette seines Könnens präsentiert." Er vergab sechs von sieben möglichen Punkten und war der Ansicht, dass mit dem zweiten Teil nichts schiefgehen würde.

Peter Kubaschk von Powermetal.de, schob vor allen die Gesangsleistungen von Taylor in den Vordergrund. Er habe ein "unglaubliches Gefühl in den Stimmbändern, als auch eine echte Metalllegierung bis hin zu den wütenden Extremen" und bezeichnete ihn als eine Art modernen John Bush. Somit habe die Band hohe Erwartungen auf den zweiten Teil geweckt. Kubaschk schlussfolgerte daraus, dass das vollständige Konzeptalbum der Karriere der Band die Krone aufsetzen würde und vergab abschließend eine Note von 9,5 von zehn Punkten.

Für Moritz Grütz von Metal1.Info stellt House of Gold & Bones - Part 1 ein Meisterstück dar, welches deutlich rockiger wär als der Vorgänger, da Audio Secrecy nicht überall auf offene Ohren gestießen sei und es fraglich gewesen wäre ob Stone Sour noch einmal die Kurve kriegen würden. Die Band würde sich kraftvoller denn je präsentieren, wovon auf die gefühlvolleren Momente des Albums profitieren würden. Die Wertung lag ebenfalls bei 9,5 von zehn möglichen Punkten.

Kritischer jedoch stand Thomas Kupfer vom Magazin Rock Hard dem Album gegenüber. Er war der Ansicht, dass das Talent von Corey Taylor einer gewissen Berechenbarkeit gewichen sei. Zwar "unterläuft kein Song ein gewisses Qualitätsniveau, die Produktion ist wie gewohnt knackig, aber Ausreißer nach oben, also echte Hits, sucht man vergeblich." Außerdem sprach er von Liedern die aus dem "Songwriting-Bausatzkasten" einer beliebigen Modern-Metal-Band entstanden seien. Für Stone Sour wäre diese Tatsache ein bisschen dürftig. Er vergab sieben von zehn möglichen Punkten.

Auch für Michael Edele von Laut.de sind einige Lieder durchwachsen geraten, auch wenn die Geschichte schlüssig und logisch sei. Einige Songs würden einfach nicht zu fesseln wissen, wie z. B. A Rumor of Skin und My Name is Allen. So stelle sich die Frage "ob man sich besser auf ein einziges, starkes Album konzentriert hätte." Dies würde sich allerdings erst nach dem zweiten Teil sagen lassen. Er lobte allerdings, dass Taylors Stimmbänder immer wieder gut anzerren und sich die Gitarristen die Soli wie Bälle zuspielen würden. Sein persönlicher Favorit ist Influence of a Drowsy God, welches am ambitioniertesten rüberkomme. Er vergab drei von fünf Punkten.

Das Onlinemagazin Loudwire wählte House of Gold & Bones – Part 1 zum Rockalbum des Jahrzehnts.

Chartplatzierungen
House of Gold & Bones – Part 1 platzierte sich nur in Österreich erfolgreicher in den Charts, wo es bis auf Platz vier kam. In Deutschland und den USA (Platz sieben), sowie der Schweiz (Platz acht), schnitt das Album schlechter als die Vorgänger ab. Auch in Großbritannien erreichte das Album lediglich Platz 13. Die ausgekoppelten Singles Gone Sovereign und Absolute Zero schafften es nicht sich in den regulären Hitlisten zu platzieren.

Aufmachung
Das Album ist nur im Digipak erhältlich. Es ist so verpackt, dass es bei der Öffnung zu einem Haus zusammengestellt werden kann. Allerdings ist das Haus unvollständig und kann nur mit House of Gold & Bones – Part 2 komplettiert werden. Anstelle der Songtexte, ist im Booklet die passende Geschichte zu den Liedern enthalten. Das Booklet ist mit der – allerdings falsch übersetzten – lateinischen Aufschrift In Domus, De Aurum, Et Ossium versehen, was auf Deutsch so viel wie "in einem Haus aus Gold und Knochen" bedeuten soll. Eine richtigere Übersetzung hierfür wäre allerdings in domo auri et ossium. Auch auf dem Booklet des zweiten Teiles, welches ähnlich aufgebaut ist wie beim ersten, ist diese Aufschrift vorzufinden.

Trackliste
House of Gold & Bones – Part 1 ist sowohl von den Titeln als auch der Länge her das bisher kürzeste Stone-Sour-Album. Allerdings veröffentlichte die Band das Album bereits zwei Jahre nach dem letzten, während der Abstand der vorherigen drei Alben vier Jahre betrug. Die japanische Edition enthält zusätzlich eine Demo des Songs Gallows Humor.

Tournee
Die erste Show der anstehenden Album-Tour fand am 28. Oktober im Woolys in Des Moines, Iowa statt. Bereits am 5. Oktober teilte die Band auf ihrer Facebook-Seite mit, dass auf dieser Tour Johnny Chow die Bass-Parts übernehmen soll. Chow ist derzeit für Cavalera Conspiracy tätig und wird auch den Tour-Zyklus für House of Gold & Bones – Part 2 übernehmen. Begleitet wird die Band von Papa Roach, die parallel dazu ihr Album The Connection vorstellen.
