Amélie Veille, de son vrai nom Amélie Veilleux, est une auteure-compositrice-interprète québécoise, née le  à Saint-Georges, au Québec.

Biographie

Elle est née en 1981 et est originaire de Saint-Georges. En 2001, après un Cégep en sciences sociales et des études universitaires en littérature, elle choisit de se consacrer à la musique et travaille à l'écriture de chansons. Elle apprivoise alors la scène en participant aux différents concours de chansons du Québec  (elle remporte les premiers prix au Tremplin de Dégelis ainsi qu'au festival de la chanson de Saint-Ambroise) et en se produisant en première partie d'artistes tels que Richard Desjardins, Martin Deschamps, Patrick Norman, Louise Forestier et Daniel Lavoie.

À l'automne 2003 paraît son premier album réalisé par Marc Pérusse, qui lui vaut une nomination au Gala de l'ADISQ dans la catégorie Album folk contemporain de l'année. En 2004, elle remporte le prix de l'auteur-compositeur-interprète féminin et de l'interprète féminine du festival Pully Lavaux, en Suisse.

Elle enchaîne alors plus de 150 concerts au Québec et en Europe, puis sort en  Un moment ma folie (réalisé par le guitariste Toyo).  Elle entame ensuite une nouvelle tournée de spectacles, et chante en première partie de Maxime Le Forestier et de Julien Clerc. Elle fait partie du groupe « Toutes les filles » fondé par Catherine Durand.

Passionnée de culture et de littérature, Amélie Veille anime régulièrement des ateliers d'écriture et des conférences auprès des jeunes, et s'implique pour la prévention du suicide. Elle a également été chroniqueuse littéraire à la radio et à la télé.

En 2012, Amélie Veille publie son troisième album, intitulé Mon cœur pour te garder. La chanson titre est en fait la reprise d'un grand succès de la chanteuse française Noëlle Cordier datant de l'année 1977. Le disque, lancé le , contient notamment les chansons suivantes : Je reste, Le fantôme aux yeux bleus, Le silence et l'aurore, Seize ans et lui et Un pays entre nous avec Éric Goulet, qui assure également la réalisation de l'album.

En 2013, au Gala de l'ADISQ, elle est nominée pour «la chanson la plus populaire de l'année» avec Mon cœur pour te garder.

En 2016, la chanteuse publie son quatrième album, intitulé Les moments parfaits. Cette fois-ci, elle rend hommage à la chanteuse française Nicole Rieu en interprétant En courant, son grand succès de 1976 écrit par Pierre Delanoë, puis à Joe Dassin en chantant Ton côté du lit en duo avec Maxime Landry. Elle chante aussi les titres suivants : Comment s'habillent les filles (un texte signé Boris Bergman, en duo avec Andréanne A. Malette) et Je prends tout de toi, premier extrait du disque.

Après un temps d'arrêt, Amélie Veille revient en 2022 en publiant, en juin, l'album Nos possibles qui contient, en plus d'un hommage à Gilbert Bécaud (Je reviens te chercher) et à Léo Ferré et Louis Aragon (Il n'aurait fallu), les titres suivants : Trois petits tours, Ma certitude et Respire.

José Ignacio Garat: Fedex man's next stop is as National Express chief
Robert Lea, Industrial Editor
Tuesday October 13 2020, 12.01am, The Times
As well as its franchised coach network in Britain, National Express also operates on the Continent and in the US
A Fedex executive is to swap delivering parcels for transporting people after being given the top job at National Express .
José Ignacio Garat, 52, will replace Dean Finch, 54, who stepped down from National Express in June after a decade to take over running Persimmon, the housebuilder.
Mr Garat, who will relocate from his native Spain to the British company's London headquarters, has been running Fedex's southern Europe, France and Benelux operations. He joined the global parcels courier after its contentious $4.4 billion 2016 takeover of TNT, its Dutch rival, where he had been a senior executive.
Mr Garat's role at what is seen as a quintessentially British company — it is the nation's leading coach company and was celebrated in popular culture in

Q: Unique number of combinations after $z$ steps of merging items by specific rules I encountered an issue where I am trying to estimate the number of unique combinations:
There exists $N$ distinct molecules (or, for example, balls), where each molecule is labelled with some functional groups (or labels) from a set of functional groups $\{x\}$ (e.g. molecule 1 is labelled with $A,B$, molecule 2 is labelled with $C$, molecule 3 is labelled with $A,B,D$).
At every step, you can combine two molecules by a reaction (or rule) in a set of reactions $\{y\}$ - i.e. molecules that have specific pairs of functional groups (e.g. $A+B$, $A+C$, $B+C$, order does not matter) can merge to become a new molecule, in doing so their original functional groups remain except for those that were recombined (e.g. mol 1 + mol 2 -> new mol with only a label of $B$, but not $A$ or $C$). For each distinct molecule, you can have unlimited supply. The question is how can one quickly estimate the total number of possible molecules after $z$ steps?
From what I tried, I formulated it into a matrix $A$ of $N \times x$, where each cell $(i, j)$ is $0$ or $1$ and represents whether a molecule $i \in \{N\}$ has a functional group $j \in \{x\}$ . I know how to calculate the number of combinations after 1 step - $\sum_{j_1, j_2 \in \{y\}} \left( \sum_{i_1} a_{i_1 j_1} \times \sum_{i_2} a_{i_2 j_2} \right)$. But I am not so sure on how to do more than one step - N can be rather large, so ideally we would not make a new entry in the matrix to store the new molecules, but rather modify existing entries. Heuristic algorithms would be fine too, if they are fast and relatively accurate - $N$ will be around $10^4$, there will be ~5 elements each in $\{x\}$ and $\{y\}$. Thanks in advance!

Plus the Murphy Brown Essay
Sunday's online New York Times edition ran editorialist BILL KELLER's essay The Leak Police, which didn't appear in the print version that some New Yorkers still hold dear enough to give their attention. Writing – In the months leading up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003, this newspaper famously published a number of stories regurgitating the Bush administration hype about Saddam Hussein's supposed arsenal of mass destruction. A few journalists elsewhere — notably Jonathan Landay and Warren Strobel, then of the Knight Ridder newspapers — dug deeper, discovered contrary intelligence, and challenged the official line. Later, The Times also published some excellent work on how an administration eager to justify its decision to go to war cherry-picked the intelligence to make its case.
Mr. Keller's case is that the journalists who got it right, got it from government officials, with access to classified information, who risked their jobs to confide the truth to journalists. Critics call these "leaks," although such stories hardly ever spill out unbidden, and they are painstakingly assembled by teasing out bits of information, triangulating, correcting, testing, confirming. I'd call them a public service.
Then Mr. Keller keeps stepping on toes. He writes – Washington is currently going a little nuts on the subject of leaks. The Obama administration has already surpassed all previous administrations in its prosecution of leakers. Congress has mandated surveillance systems that make it easier to identify leakers and prevent unauthorized downloads of classified material.
He asks – Is this latest outbreak of leak panic just another mood swing? Or is something else going on? Mr. Keller theorizes more secrets are spilling these days, in part, because so much material is automatically, needlessly classified that officials tend not to take classification as seriously. He suspects another factor is the enthusiasm with which senior officials contribute their notes and self-serving recollections for behind-the-scenes books, setting a permissive example for those farther down the official ladder. Assuring top officials their place in history while the juniors are prosecuted.
And then Mr. Keller points out how this is the game as usual. "Presidents make 'secret' decisions only to reveal them for the purposes of frightening an adversary nation, wooing a friendly electorate, protecting their reputations. Military services conduct 'secret' research in weaponry only to reveal it for the purpose of enhancing their budgets, appearing superior or inferior to a foreign army, gaining the vote of a congressman or the favor of a contractor. The Navy uses secret information to run down the weaponry of the Air Force. The Army passes on secret information to prove its superiority to the Marine Corps. High officials of the government reveal secrets in the search for support of their policies, or to help sabotage the plans and policies of rival departments. Middle-rank officials of government reveal secrets so as to attract the attention of their superiors or to lobby against the orders of those superiors."
Mr. Keller is quoting Max Frankel, the then Washington bureau chief of The New York Times, in a 1971 deposition defending the paper's publication of the secret Vietnam War history called the Pentagon Papers. Frankel acknowledged the self-serving nature of these transactions on both sides, but concluded that this "cooperative, competitive, antagonistic and arcane relationship," as he called it, was essential to the working of democracy. Without this trafficking in secrets, he said, "there could be no adequate diplomatic, military and political reporting of the kind our people take for granted, either abroad or in Washington, and there could be no mature system of communication between the government and the people."
Which should leave us wondering about this era's leaking Internet celebrity(ies), care of that medium that has changed the nature of privacy, secrecy, fame and obscurity. Where anyone becomes a star. Well not quite. Did you know the notorious scourge of government secrecy Julian Assange has his own Julian Assange Show broadcast by Russian government financed English language broadcaster Russia Today? That picked the U.S. apart calling us the America Surveillance Society. And interviewed our own government's leaker, Thomas Andrews Drake, who went public on 60 MINUTES after spending years defending his American right to speak freely about the covering up of bureaucratic mistakes. Still, it's hard to not feel the government shouldn't give up on holding Mr. Assange responsible, while wishing him well avoiding the federation's clutches. Because government boundaries, by the people for the people, make sense only when the truth comes out.

September 18, 2018 - 9/12, 2019
Freedom of the Press, Yes
This view greeted my arrival for work the last few weeks before
The New Murphy Brown premiered.
Replaced, October 1st, by beer ad. Vodka, early December. ...
I even succumbed to photographing the front of one of many MTA buses, staring New Yorkers down in the streets, that Stephen Colbert brought up in Ms. Bergen's interview (3:59) the Wednesday night before Thursday's first show.
So, no simple humongous bus-length broadside for New York City that a stars' celebrants are drawn into trailing as shown below the next picture in LA. Just Candice Bergen, as Murphy Brown, baronially styled, staring at your watching her channelling the male association with an imagining of Walter Cronkite's reincarnation in a woman's suit? Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters, Connie Chung, Sue Simmons, all wore versions of women's male business attire to blend with the patriarchical standard of forthright respectability. Long overdue, dashikis on The News?
PRESS EXPOSURE for The New Murphy Brown included the Washington Post headline,
'Murphy Brown' once sparked a feud with Dan Quayle.
Now the reboot is courting one with President Trump.
Other ASSORTED PRESS reiterated the "game's afoot" Sherlock Holmesian pitch. Such as CBS, The New York Times, TIME, after a fashion Fox News, Daily Beast, Yahoo!, Associated Press, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, USA TODAY, The Buffalo News, NYT (1993),
CBS Sunday Morning.
"activism in a sitcom" - "expecting backlash"
This happened in LA.
American politics taken seriously in a comedy will either be seen, or enough of us will hold perceptions dear enough that the point's not worth wanting realized by a broader public. Another commercial enterprise biting the dust happens every day. Why it's a luxury to spread out daily press coverage so as to always be a major conveyor of any news. However unreal the fabrication is, is often lost to explanation, that's just meandering talk, that can, when endless, foster embellishment. rendering public discourse a mere backdrop to droning chants.
My 1998 Total TV essay, The Unsinkable Murphy Brown, concluded using the character Jim Dial's - "You'll" still "get em, Slugger," without knowledge there'd be others. Point being, Murphy Brown's independent women's voice was worth carrying on. CBS, premier week, advertised that role of the original show.
Advertising "now's the time," the Established Press echoed this Murphy Brown's not just a mere remake. By embarking on that fortuitous, but tortuous, goal of courting public relevance, a brand new bold statement was made. Betting the franchise's legacy? You betcha. Murphy even mentions that in Episode 1. Promising to not just be another Murphy Brown 2, the time-lapse being just an hiatus.
So, now(then), in this one programming instance, in the vastness that's all media, the ever more distracted public canvas conveyed, in contrast, much about American obsessions with however narrowly twisted flashy imagery clouding substance. Better sentence? Better equation. Again Murphy probably highlighted what the country senses is worth knowing. Maybe become more aware of where unreasonableness lies? Could have found more time to explore Eldin's Industrial Revolution painted theme ceiling. Didn't develop more than just nostalgic meaning from remembering Marion Seldes' character, Murphy's Aunt Brooke. A window through which, is visualized, our critical mass of entertained discrepancies becoming thoroughly, regurgitatingly, analyzed political sport?
Because, as expected, in response to the show, something derogatory wasn't said, by the public relations confetti thrower, about liberal icons in that flippantly arrogant self-righteous archaic tone of indifference to this country's complete economic and political evolution? Roy Cohn dart repellent's not a real bargain for the country at any price? Too cryptic a description of the manipulation of public sentiment? Finishing this essay, these months later, on September 11, 2019, what's clear is professionals mold what America thinks and broadly seems recklessly nowhere in the equation.
The Washington Post review's thrust was that the president wouldn't appreciate the gist of The New Murphy Brown show. Possibly just whitewash some anti-religious fervor across her brow while, of course, shrugging off the rest as if insight were worthless without marketing punch directed at a punch drunk American Electorate? Hooray? Because by not facing all that's reality, and because the word treason's been so loosely thrown about, is sitting on our hands. Disloyal Americans in the eyes of self-righteousness? The Soapbox View, as well, has been reduced to abandoning a middle ground and openly taking offense at all the willy-nilly liberties taken in disregarding upright morality's perversion in the face of common sense. Embellishment's abuse is a real question. Serial Waffling?
I wrote May 1998's The Unsinkable Murphy Brown after seeing an Entertainment Tonight announcement that the original Murphy Brown was concluding alongside the mobile throne coffee enthusiast, and quasi-ish-ly-renounced cyclist, Seinfeld. And though The New Murphy Brown production studio was nearby, this time, all the necessary extra insight for this new essay was also had hearing Ms. English at the Museum of Television and Radio, in New York City, in 1993.
September 27, 2018 Premier
Pursuit of truth's often muddled. Thursday, 9:30 PM EST, Murphy Brown premiered. While that same day a woman testified, before the US Senate Judiciary Committee, symbolizing the country's partisan divide more than the country's awakening to an improved civility. As per usual weighing logic's difficult. But the game of toying with public perception's fairly clear when Senators Ted Cruz and Graham are incensed. Calling a soap opera a soap opera doesn't necessarily convey innocence. Colbert on Kavanaugh Hearing.
Republicans For Merrick Garland!
So I watched at 9:30, without verbatimly recalling back when Diane English personally, online, reprimanded me for my accusation that one of her shows used a laugh track. My brief experience, before on-line was split open by the World Wide Web, led me to wanting out because of the unencumbered nature of participants' dialogues that clearly pushed boundaries less easily crossed face-to-face. However, hooked up's what's happening. And Murphy Brown's back because of her obligation to never give up on the hopes and dreams of everyone everywhere.
Murphy Brown?
Episode 1 started, as advertised, direct and, throughout, wasn't wishy-washy about its' political sympathies. But however received, that first episode, "Fake News," spoke volumes of the value of a writer's vision. Not just another remake, Murphy Brown put her foot down.
It was fun to again watch the writer's (writers) covered bases. Corky "totally wore the wrong shoes" to a demonstration. Times march shows a daughter answering her mother's awed delight with, "Who's Murphy Brown?" And Murphy used that, not yet forgotten, expressionist noun, saying, "I'm going back on the air." Maybe not fascinating, but there must be people who don't know air meant medium, except in reference to hot air?
The show's best lines were Frank's, answering Murphy's referring to disheveled producer Miles' bundle of nerves, making uncomfortable sense. "A facility. What like public storage?"
Sounding dear to the heart Murphy In The Morning is supposed to be, as Frank expressed, "talk about politics without treating it like a sporting event."
(... arrogantly flippant ... deliriously self-promotional ... hazard-ly boisterous ... self-reverential ... Free news is the best advertising's been proven time, after time, and time again. ...)
Episode II, I (Don't) Heart Huckabee
The over-the-top plot's sentimental conclusion almost covers up the confrontational highlighted word - lies. Shadowing probably not as effective as the tawdriness covering the newest Supreme Court Justice's political partisan role. If only figures of supreme leadership, raking in adulation, solved anything. Off point, but relevant plea. Bear the rough parts, and the episode's a tickler. And, after all, it seems time for more antidotes to sycophantism?
Episode III? # Murphy Too
I need to think a little more. The schlocky sitcom manner didn't knock me for a loop, but has me wondering what I do want to say. Unlike the first two, I'll have to watch again. I want to say what I should and not go on and on just soaking a celebrity topic. Not a fan of that. The show emphasized the reality of the male privilege that power abusers relish as their justification for shrugging off responsibility. The show's plot delved deeper and while it's taken so much time, thank God/Allah we continue growing up. Please.
Episode IV, Three Shirts To The Wind
Best yet, and nearly as important as the 3rd. The show's showing traction. Though there's the sense the little snippets of dramatized points of dialogue come sitcomishly quick rendering them frivolous for a portion of the country. The Jeff Sessions joke, for example, being a low blow. While not exposing his lowest position, which is the Attorney General's pedestal of devotion to the immoral Criminal Enterprise System. Regarding the fracturing of truth, "Don't you Giuliani me" was not just thrown out but insightfully spot on. And Miles should ride a bike to work. I've eaten at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo.
Episode V, The Girl Who Cried About Wolf
Don't have to pinch myself to be reminded I'm watching a sitcom as they are banter as far as the eye can see.
The Second Scene's character assassination, and Brown joke, in the bar is - priceless. Because as much as a party faithful want to believe the conservative's depiction isn't accurate, then look again as that's all the show or anyone can even ask.
Technically I'm not one of the "three Republicans" watching Murphy In The Morning as a whole show's not been shown. Just the mannerisms of commercial lead-ins and the signing-off tidbits enticing viewers back. Perhaps highlighting the public forum's actually being a competition of lights, bells and whistles and, all too often, why we've fallen short tethered to that. Simplified fascinations are a nationalism we shouldn't prefer.
Now everyone's using Trump Hotels? Of all places to choose a rendezvous. Ah. Playing with racy prose. ... If only tolerating adversaries' prejudices were the path to a happy family. Could our simplistically contrived political conundrum end or even have happy notes? ... As commonplace as its become the notes of confusion, ending this episode, encapsulated the era and clarified reality's confused inevitability. No matter how trustworthy the machines.
Episode VI, Results May Vary
Timely pre-midterm election theme. How'd the competition fare polishing the intimidating manner of the self-righteous culture war? Glistening, I'd speculate.
The Murphy Brown show's straight parody of the media-esque-ishy/presidential relationship, while uncomfortably accurate, at least confronts what's bent for home audiences. The soap opera-iness of it all. If only the reality show description weren't just the tip of the iceberg. The satire's boldness is commendable.
"and, by the way, no collusion" from The Greatest Comedic President of All Time? Bold enough to describe the naked leader. America's truly great when proving we'll not fall victim to misdescription. Please?
Knives vs. Spatulas is uncomfortably accurately, revealingly so. For the choir? Yes of course the exploitation of God's image deserves facing too. Shallow's an offensive human trait and that arrogance applied to everything's why we face authoritarian mis-mash. Discombobulating shoulder shrugs over ruthlessness' rule.
The Avery Brown character verges on fantasy. No one's competitively threatening, from within, Fox's flagship's domain.
"sea to shining she" Brilliant.
Elections Have Consequences
Episode VII, A Lifetime of Achievement
An over the top expressive Bette Midler. An underlying symbolism to the romantic threads, palpably modulating our harder edges in comedic expression. An we can get through this uncomfortable facing the truth about distorted social norms exploitably enforced. People don't go to jail for adultery scored one for not superseding God's judgment. And personal life facing for Ms. Brown.
"In that outfit. Right." Whether or not people can absorb this, a tolerant culture is what God/Allah wants. Judge-mental ones have proven tragic. Just because wars are in the Holy Books doesn't mean we're encouraged to always carry them out. An obvious flaw still left about "modern life."
Jim Dial's acceptance speech is touchingly sentimental as the other characters appreciated. But why completely cut his prepared First Amendment lecture? Sitcom shorthand's tight dialogue demand.
Bette, Ms. Midler, closes callously self-reverential per the added ownership's character's design. And bear with Miles America. Well. Provocative and light-heartedly sophisticated.
The slightly unexpected romantic developments lend another where's this going layer of curiosity so necessary to episodic commercial television. Despite, or perhaps because of, the show ignored The Me Me Me Movement and didn't bother mentioning the president once. The quality of ambition leaves me ecstatic filming's done in my fairly huge neighborhood. Though I'd normally not ever express ecstatic, preferring un-embellishment, contrary to abnormal norms.
Episode VIII, The Coma and the Oxford Comma
"An aging white Angela Bassett," inclusions more than a wonderful beautiful thing, but also better than an exaggerated claim of greatness ingrained in the belief in superiority based on winning at violence that's never an end in itself?
America chose coma too, Ms. Shields? Harsh yes. Perhaps there should be more assessing the show's appealing qualities or calculate the number of social ideologies being pandered to?
So the sentimental hospital reunion's fractured by Murphy's hard-nosed realism and made a splash by commercial spectaculars' inevitabilities. While, I thought misdirection, during the commercials, after Ms. Shields revealed her first controversial remembrance.
Wondering if the President's and Vice-President's, and our culture's conversational protagonists, ignoring of whether Murphy's working this time is a sound strategy? After all, in MURPHY BROWN's case, it is not just another remake as the trend has been strategically demeaned. So what. Nothing's new.
Episode IX, Thanksgiving and Taking
She's wearing heels I'm not a fan of seeing After the "Renew your gym memberships people" was delivered in the show's particular trademarkedly traditional sound bite par excellence way. Staging, the hallmark of sitcom television. While Murphy's obliviousness to catering's extremely over-the-top when feeding each other is capitalism's socialism at its' best.
"Hope they like pizza"'s delivered sitcom speak suave. American Football.
"Parade of cars towed away" is some line. But the over-done kitchen incompetence streamlined the storyline's setup. Yet the ditziness was quite a bit much. Squeezing content's the game. However the campiness was mere prelude to deeper representations of understanding how compassion's sabotaged. The show certainly represented this era's particular oblivious theme. For decades businesses afforded something and can't any longer so we'll rescind portions of their lives they'd no right to live. Only be victims, again, and again, and again.
"It's hard to believe he grew up at all" was delivered sweetly authentic. Then as slowly as televisionly possible, what evolved was a real slap in-the-face tearjerker. Reminding us who you know is all we have. And moral outrage can't be meant to be the problem it's been covering for the sins of exploitation that have done us in. Cleaning up corruption is a war that can only be solved by dissolving the Criminal Enterprise Systems' roots.
What's not good for business any longer is shallow. Where's the announced plan in place to reculturize the criminal classes where the illegal immigrants had to originally flea from? Sure, there are programs. But, oh yeah, we can't solve that. Sure as the world's missing the picture on harmonious use of the Earth's resources, responsibility for the ruthless nonsense is the result of a ruthlessly applied morality of a game riddled farce of corruptions as unnecessary as never taking a walk.
America should be doing a lot better than blaming the symptoms. A shame.
Episode X, Beat The Press
In fact I'm one of the few Republican viewers the show hasn't lost. Having spoken in The Great Hall of Cooper Union and am unwilling to shirk my symbolic responsibility. But can admit to daily discomfort resulting from the daily sycophantic adoration of a charlatanism that was President Washington's nightmare.
So my concern isn't about attacking, but shaking the mental lethargy The Murphy Brown show's undertaken in using the literary license to portray the president in a manner he's molded and would outright deny if forced to face. Notice he makes a point of being see reading speeches now, as evidently the stories of his level of understanding has reached the the level of cover-up.
Right the show I'm not necessarily wanted to criticize either as I'm not particularly of the bandwagon persuasion. But definitely, obviously I don't appreciate the bandwagoneer-in-chief. And find the entire family's crafting an above it all image - reprehensible. Entitlements? It's downright creepy what's been gotten away with.
Now about the irreverent cannoli. At least Ms.English's writers work to not portray themselves with Jesus on their chests covering up pride and prejudice. Besides holier than thou agnosticism's covered by Free Speech.
Has the show gone too far in its' portrayal of some Americans as having falling down a sycophantic pit of desperation born of ignorance is bliss. Not when the president's over-the-top juxtaposition of all his faults being the vocabulary by which he accuses before accused. Saw a Trump sicker in a car window last night. It is a shame Americans find refuge in the most self-centered opportunist since Stalin. Putin? Naw. he's the creation of an entire bureaucracy dedicated to rule. Basically the game as it's always played. Proof's how despite the claim the same can be said of the American president's advocates. Don't wonder why I look forward to God's judgement. Wonder why it's really not a more profound fear, despite the redundant pontificating from the pulpits. A game? In Buenos Aires this morning the president began the event with, "We are gathered here." The language of the ministry. The code? Use and abuse everything. What a guy. And Murphy Brown's at fault for criticizing? When ... never mind. On and on hypnotizing listeners is a despicable game.
Wonder what'll be left when this reaches a future draft?
Episode XI, The Wheels on the Dog Go Round and Round
I really hope people like this episode and get a charge from it. As eloquent as others are, if you only see one - this is it.
Their ritual broadcast desk intro noted ours is the first president since McKinley not to have a pet. As the better part of our world progress would really mean their universal welfare as well.
What's more relevant than a choreographed food safety inspection?
Independence guy, wonderfully put. Our space management's led to not enough for the trees or the pets. Episode made me cry more the second time watched. Truly the coolest yet by the second set of commercials.
Miles is some character. Funny how people didn't fit. But let that symbolism take hold and you'll be seeing from somewhere how the pieces do. How today's tomorrow and the sun hasn't shone on everyone near enough the same. Such that disparate health costs just aren't confronted as something to solve. Paying each other lucratively enough to swing the big bats that near enough only solve half the problems of price. It's not just the digital world's fault life's so entrenched, and detached.
Meanwhile there's clearly the crafty pop of the long drum roll by the story's 3rd set of commercials. Wow. Professionalism, and content. This episode's amongst the best in TV, ever, leading into and out of commercials. And confronting what's threadbare about how contrived political dramas' well practiced capacity to be an imprecise bandwagon's a not necessarily benignly imprecise art.
The show is peaking.
And Yeah, But, This Is Murphy Brown.
The other new era business. About how the younger characters would have to catch on and become more central for the show to succeed. That age-group purchasing power central premise. But no matter where CBS leans, in light of where the business has gone, the potential for new distributorships is probably, pretty much, a point of indisputable fact. Rumors? Too many are perceived fact. Political lone wolves for instance.
No, Murphy Brown is not just of another era speaking of bygone years' concerns. The age of a grandmother? Some of the best people anyone will have ever met throughout history were, and are, grandmothers. Everyone knows how precious youth is. It's really no time to hide from them what's happened and not completely faced. Murphy Brown not only has the right to voice contradictory sentiments to the president's, but the duty.
Episode XII, AWOL
Gilbert Gottfied and Mike Tyson. A name dropping bonanza.
Life is too many treats. Notice commercial television's public service announcements didn't evolve into a cultural phenomenon?
Episode brings home how unfortunately dangerous the world is. All the anger stewing's what there seems to do. What's wrong is aggressive revenge we can't get past.
Think the bar's new employee becomes Murphy Brown's new roommate. The coding expert an on-air personality as well as whoever the stage manager wants.
Yes. The ambition of the original Murphy Brown is shining through.
Fall Season Finale
Episode XIII, Happy New Year
Of course the son coming back's overly pat with that sitcommy sense of rounded off nostalgic good feeling.
The executive kissing Miles?. Who didn't see that coming?
Mr. Dial calls her "Slugger."
Episode ...
No one could ever explain to me Murphy Brown's not coming back. Though I get it now that, maybe, after all, nah. ...
To the consternation of many observers, people aren't realizing the hazards facing our country. Of course that rhetoric can come from any direction. But, despite known reality, an alarm hasn't completely sounded. No Uncle Walter Cronkite, with a definable mass of Americans watching, removing his glasses and, once and for all, saying, "good grief" for the American Public. Or at least to enough of us so the muddled aspects become apparent to everyone out there. Ha. No Edward R. Murrow nodding at the hysterical hypnotization and relaxing the choking grip of Big Brother's screens. But, learning from history aside, this era's broadening of the public sphere's voices has to be a good thing or complete hypocrisy survives.
So there's the situation, faced by a fictional Murphy Brown, of an un-skeptically manipulated public of pure imagination. Or at the least - historical gobble-dy-gook. Such that the noble dream of broadened understanding hasn't become near the enemy described, as has the twisting of fables become political entertainment. When imagery's everything, facts go poof?
Was Ms. Brown's, first episode, Twitter altercation with President Trump's Twitter Feed a questionable tactic? Fictionalizing the real President of the United States? Still, facing issues is priceless. Though that literary license probably cut off the celebritized oxygen the president could have supplied if he'd been left open terrain to attack from. Nah. No one would say or face it, but the president retreated. Hands down the Celebrity stalking Entertainment Complex himself, whether you like it or not, avoided battle. Ooo ooo, but he taunted Debra Messing.
Once the idea of the real-time screen to screen dialogue occurred, it obviously had to be thought out and applied. However, as the show's obscured public notoriety attests, literary license can't necessarily open a jar's can of worms. And so it goes. Despite and because of people's invariable flaw of being told, while not listening, your return's so very welcome. Slugger.
How difficult is it perceiving a Stalinesque aura's cult of personality only registers sycophantism as political loyalty? Aaaaaaagh!
And downright nowhere near skeptical enough.

ALRC recommends 'two-tier' plan for flexible, cost-effective public inquiries Read more
ALRC calls for greater flexibility, more options for Royal Commissions and other official inquiries Read more
Cost, formality of Royal Commissions queried in ALRC Review Read more
Filed under: Criminal law and process, Evidence, Royal Commissions & public inquiries, Secrecy
The Terms of Reference for this Inquiry directed the ALRC to consider a number of matters including whether there was any need to develop an alternative form or forms of Commonwealth executive inquiry, with statutory foundations, to provide more flexibility, less formality and greater cost-effectiveness than a Royal Commission.
Royal Commissions occupy a unique place in the Australian system of government, being the highest form of inquiry on matters of public importance. However, antiquated or inappropriate provisions of the Royal Commissions Act 1902 (Cth) have caused difficulties in some inquiries. These difficulties include the power to compel the provision of information, a lack of power to investigate breaches of the Act, the adequacy of penalties for a failure to comply with the Act, and the ability of Royal Commissions to communicate information about unlawful behaviour to law enforcement bodies. Furthermore, Royal Commissions are also often expensive, running into the tens of millions of dollars.
Key recommendations
The Royal Commissions Act should be amended and renamed the Inquiries Act to provide for the establishment of two tiers of public inquiry—Royal Commissions and Official.
Royal Commissions should be the highest form of inquiry established by the Governor-General of Australia to look into matters of substantial public importance.
Official Inquiries should be established by a minister to look into matters of public importance.
Both Royal Commissions and Official Inquiries should have the power to:
require the production of documents and other things;
require the attendance or appearance to answer questions (on oath or affirmation if so directed by the inquiry); and
inspect, retain and copy any documents or other thing.
Royal Commission and Official Inquiry reports should be tabled promptly in Parliament, within 15 sitting days of receiving the inquiry's final report.
A framework should be developed for the protection of national security information utilised in Inquiries.
Inquiries that may have a significant effect on Indigenous peoples should be required to consult with Indigenous groups, individuals and organisations to inform the development of procedures for an inquiry.
The Australian Government should develop and publish and Inquiries Handbook to ensure that the institutional knowledge of those that have established, conducted and administered inquiries can be captured and passed on.
The Australian Government should publish an update on implementation of recommendations of an inquiry that it accepts: one year after the tabling of the final report of a Royal Commission or Official Inquiry; and periodically thereafter to reflect any ongoing implementation activity.
A summary of the cost of each Royal Commission and Official Inquiry should be published within a reasonable time after the inquiry has concluded.
The Executive Summary in ALRC Report 111 contains a comprehensive summary of key findings and recommendations.
ALRC Report ALRC 111 was tabled in February 2010 and has not, as yet, been implemented.

'The Scoutmaster' turns 60: Behind the Rockwell classic
June 16, 2016 Bryan Wendell History of Scouting, Throwback Thursdays 52
On its surface, Norman Rockwell's The Scoutmaster painting depicts a satisfied and pensive adult leader peering into a fading campfire. The sun has set. The Scouts are asleep. All is quiet.
But go a layer deeper, and there's more to The Scoutmaster than meets the eye.
This year marks 60 years since Rockwell published this tribute to Scoutmasters everywhere. That makes it a perfect time to look at the colorful story behind the iconic painting.
How did a Jamboree photo shoot — in the daytime — turn into a nighttime scene? How did the future CEO of the Seattle Mariners find his way into Rockwell's painting? And why does this piece continue to resonate with Scoutmasters?
The fascinating story is below.
The Jamboree photo shoot
Rockwell painted from photographs. He would take a photo of a scene and return to his studio to create a painting inspired by the image.
Wanting to dedicate a painting to American Scoutmasters, Rockwell visited the 1953 National Scout Jamboree in Irvine Ranch, Calif., to find a Scoutmaster to photograph.
"Those Scoutmasters truly have something," Rockwell said. "I have admired their skill as I have watched them work with boys. Talk about good Americans, doing things for their community. They're doing it."
Rockwell arranged for a troop to set up a model campsite and then hunted for a model Scoutmaster. He found Marshall Ammerman, a professional Scouter and former Scoutmaster.
Then Rockwell found four Scouts to build a campfire and pretend to be sleeping. It was the middle of the day, and it was 90 degrees in the shade. Not exactly napping weather.
Later, back in his studio, Rockwell turned day into night.
The boy in the white shirt
You won't recognize Howard Lincoln in The Scoutmaster, but Lincoln wanted to make sure his mother did.
Lincoln, a Distinguished Eagle Scout, former chairman of Nintendo of America, and current chairman and CEO of the Seattle Mariners, is the Scout with blonde hair and wearing white.
Once he was tucked in to bed, Lincoln made sure to position himself so Rockwell could see his face. He wanted his mother to recognize him.
In 1954, Rockwell sent to Lincoln a release form and his payment for helping make what would become a Scouting classic: $25.
Two years after that, The Scoutmaster was included in the 1956 Brown & Bigelow calendar.
The legacy of The Scoutmaster
Rockwell was art director of Boys' Life magazine, and his work was used on dozens of BL covers. (See the complete gallery here.)
The February 1956 issue of BL featured The Scoutmaster. The painting also served as cover art for the fifth edition of the Scoutmaster's Handbook, in use from 1959 to 1972.
To many in Scouting, myself included, The Scoutmaster is Rockwell's finest work for the Boy Scouts of America.
Maybe it's a little idealistic to think that today's Scouts would fall asleep that quickly — and with no electronic devices in sight — but the message endures. It's not hard to see in this Scoutmaster the pride and sense of purpose felt by the millions of adults who have dedicated their lives to this movement.
After mentoring young people all day, an adult leader who pauses before bedtime can know that he or she truly made a difference. That will never change.

1 Poisoning My Candy: Consumerism, Alcoholism, Patriarchy, and why I have grown to hate Halloween
by Comrade Black
· Columns
The last time I ever dressed up for Halloween – Oct 31, 2009
I use to love Haloween.
Now I despise it.
When I was a kid Halloween was by far my favorite day of the year. I have a distinct memory of the year I got chicken pox, I was 4 years old living in Ardrossen Alberta, and oh boy was I upset that I couldn't go trick or treating with my older sister. She shared the candy with me, but it just wasn't the same. Every year my mother would take me to the thrift store to find a cheap ski-suit, then come Halloween I would get on 2 pairs of long johns, don the ski-suit, and my mother would get out rolls of masking tape to cover me head to toe – I went as a mummy, with the help of mommy. And since I couldn't bend my knees or elbows, I walked like one too!
As I got older, the costumes became more complex. My mother hand sewed me a Beetlejuice costume when I was about 12, and I spiked my hair for the first time (using green Halloween hairspray). I remember one year working for weeks with liquid latex to hand make a Halloween mask for my Lich costume (a Lich is like a zombie mage from D&D, what happens when evil wizards take a potion to extend their life at the cost of dying while staying alive so they can continue to gain more power). One year I went as the Devil, and even spent hours dying my skin red with watered down food coloring which stained for weeks, but looked awesome! Or there was the year I dressed up as a mafia guy, including a Tommy gun I spent week making, with a copper pipe barrel, coffee can magazine, and oak, hand cut and stained rifle butt. The cops pulled me over to confirm it wasn't real – and of course to run my name for warrants – cause you know, they are assholes. That incident lead to its own humorous story, but I will tell that one another day.
Eventually I began setting up Halloween parties as a community event. This was really the first DIY organizing I ever did, years before I ever organized DIY all ages punk shows or anarchist bookfairs. I would rent a hall, get my (former) friend Pat to DJ, and my friend Yvonne to run the bar (this was years before I went Straightedge). People donated to get in, and the bar would usually break even, even after the costs of a liquor license and me setting the prices far below normal. The majority of attendees were people I played Vampire or D&D with.
The reason I loved Halloween so much as a kid, and even until I was a young adult, was that it was the one holiday where you could be dark, dress up scary, as something evil. Where you could embrace all the things normally frowned upon in this fake Christian and legalistic culture. It was the day the freaks, geeks, artists and picked on kids could shine. It was DIY, and encouraged youth to be creative, and use their imaginations. And it was the only holiday where you went out into the community, often with friends to meet your neighbors, and knocked on the doors of other people (who you would threaten with pranks if they didn't give you candy). Every other holiday meant staying home with family to celebrate some weird depiction of a dead deity and gorged on dead animal carcasses. On Halloween, instead of consuming a carcass, you would try to create a costume that made you look like one! Halloween for me was the collective accumulation of everything missing from every other day of the year all wrapped up into one dark night. I was always drawn to darkness, just as I was always drawn to be creative.
But Halloween has been recuperated by the consumer capitalist mainstream and drunken party culture. Now it exists as nothing more than another excuse to buy more junk (made by children in a sweatshop in China), consume, and get drunk. Whereas the costumes of my childhood were mostly homemade, even if people occasionally bought a mask or the fake blood, or whatnot, there was always a DIY element to it; now the norm is to purchase your costume at the mall, 100% plastic shit, shipped from overseas, and throw it out the next day. Mom's and dad's no longer take their kids door to door in many cities, as the fear of poisoned candy and sexual predators has become so pervasive (even though no one has ever actually poisoned candy to hand out, and the vast majority of child molesters are family, close friends, or people given authority over the kids; not a stranger in the bush) that the new tradition for many parents is to drive their kids (in their gas guzzling SUV) to the mall where they go store to store instead of door to door, and managers or employees of corporations hand out candy along with promotional materials. Because as we all know, Corporations are far more trustworthy than the people who live down the street from you.
For young adults and teenagers, the new trend is a mix of sexist shit costumes such as "Slutty Nurse," or "Breast Inspector" and the always popular cultural appropriation and other racist 'costumes' such as white people wearing blackface. And have you noticed the disturbingly sexualizing Halloween costumes being marketed for young girls these days? Costumes become more and more sexualized by the year, for both adults and children. From "Slut Shaming" to sexualizing children, the corporations who make and sell this shit have no problem profiting off of rape culture. Just as the bars have no issue with profiting of addiction, and binge drinking.
Then of course there is the Halloween candy, made of shit and chemicals that are toxic, glued together with processed sugar, and often containing the milk of abused cows or other products stolen from the bodies of animals which our species domesticated who live tortured lives in industrial farms and feedlots before being shipped to the slaughter house. This poison cocktail then gets wrapped in a couple sheets of plastic "to make sure it safe from contamination" before being shipped halfway across the world so you can give it to kids to ensure they become addicted to sugar. TRICK OR TREAT!
Even the horror movies have gotten worse, turning into movies that fetishize and sexualize torture for 2 hours straight.
Over the last few years I have pondered various strategies to try and re-appropriate what is left of the once very DIY and community oriented former Pagan holiday. As much as I am disheartened by what it has become, I still do see some hope in the darkness. The continuing popularity of the Halloween screenings of the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show give me some hope, and honestly dressing up in drag and throwing toast in the air can be quite a blast! The overt queerness of Rocky Horror may be what has saved it from being appropriated and recuperated entirely by this consumerist and homophobic culture.
Guy Fawkes Day 2008, Victoria, unceded Lekwungen territories. A group of people built an effigy of Harper to burn on the lawn of the Legislature
I use to see some possibility as well in November 5 – Guy Fawkes Day, before the iconic V mask became mass produced and adopted by the right wing Libertarians and conspiracy theorists who never bothered to read Allan Moore's anarcho-antihero epic, nor taken the time to learn the real history of the Gunpowder Plot to blow up Parliament. But alas, I have given up on Guy Fawks day after burning only 1 effigy of Steven Harper.
And of course there is the Pagan revival, people going back the roots of Samhain. There is definitely something encouraging about people, especially settlers on stolen land, wanting to go back to their roots. The potential for decolonization is there. Yet I am not entirely sold on this either, as those pagan roots are often from cultures that have already engaged in the domestication of animals and plants, and worship warlike patriarchal gods, or gods who offer the control of nature for faithful servitude. Spirituality has also been largely recuperated by civilization and turned into an escapist retreat from taking action and creating change. Then there is the questions of cultural appropriation whether it is neo-pagan Wicca and reinvention of Samhain, or the appropriation of Día de Muertos.
Another thing I have attempted with limited success is to organize sober spaces that are alternatives to the drunken Halloween party culture. There is many people that can't be in spaces where alcohol is, whether it is cause they are struggling with addiction, a youth who legally is not allowed into a space that sells booze, or someone who just doesn't like being around drunks or doesn't feel safe around them do to past experiences.
A new idea I had this year was to make posters which read in large text something along the lines of:
"GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS
Halloween is suppose to be about building community
DON'T TAKE YOUR KIDS TO THE MALL
trick or treat & meet the people you live next to."
Another idea I have played with is to make vegan treats, which may not be healthier but are a lot better than the toxic corporate crap candy most folks are handing out to trick or treaters. I have a simple recipe for Vegan rice crispy squares for example, and I thought if I was to make them with a note attached explaining who made them, why, and all the ingredients including a phone number and address to accompany my name; perhaps, just maybe, parents would let their kids actually eat them??? A connected idea to make this one work better, was to make a batch of Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies, using Sarah Kramer's awesome recipe, in about august/September, and make a note with the ingredients that reads "hand made for you by your neighbor," then take these door to door and hand them out for a few blocks, as a good opportunity to get to know the people who you share geographical locality with. This way not only do you meet them which can help build community, but also make them more open to homemade candy come Halloween.
The other type of strategies would be to find ways to use the current consumer culture and appropriate it's energy for anarchist purposes. Thousands of people in the streets wearing generic disguises can offer a perfect smoke and mirrors type of potential for low level warfare against capital. Although with the enormous police presence and normalization of snitch culture amongst yuppies, there are some real risks to this. Alternatively one could try to use the trendy hipsters as a funding base for anarchist projects. Put on an event or sell something targeted towards pop culture (Zombie paraphernalia?) and use the money from it to pay the rent on your infoshop, to restock your punk distro, buy media or AV equipment, send to prisoners, or to cover travel to conferences, summits, or elsewhere for people who should be there but can't afford it. There are many projects that are in constant need of funds in the anarchist movement. However, this strategy also runs into some risks of recuperation or wasting our energy on projects that don't help further our own.
Halloween has been reduced from the night to creatively celebrate horror and the dead to a dead holiday where zombies dressed as in costume celebrate the death of creativity and consume the horrors of capitalist civilized reality. Is it time to bury this tradition? Or can transform into wild beasts and enact a séance to resurrect it from the death that is this modern reality called of civilization and destroy the monster called Leviathan?
1 SOMALI PIRATES: GREATEST HITS EP: 7″ REVIEW
by PigBastard
· Reviews
SOMALI PIRATES are a humorous tongue in cheek band from sunny San Diego California. On this record, they compile the four best songs and put them all on one 45rpm 7″. This booze swillin, all night patyin bunch of rock n roll rebels know what to do, and they do it well. The music on this is catchy punk rock n roll with good melodies and a steady vocal presence. These punx just play good ol fashioned rock n roll with no pretense and no judgement – except to the posers! With songs such as Pay Me Or You Die, or Stay Strapped, SOMALI PIRATES brings the party thrash to mix with issues that make you think, like booses you most likely hate, and corrupt politicians. This EP comes with song explanations to keep it simple, stickers, and a digital download card. Released on Camel Clutch Records

0 ALEA IACTA EST / CONTROLLED EXISTENCE: SPLIT 7″: REVIEW
AIE is from Slovakia and play pure unadulterated grindcore. there are no melodies here, just music written to be played fast and loud. Short and to the point. ALEA IACTA EST bring 5 original songs, plus a cover of "human trafficking" by INSECT WARFARE. Lyrics are political in nature featuring short sentences with big ideas. Translated into Slovak, English, and I think Czech (?), they definitely want the audience to know exactly what they are saying. First song has a noisy intro, and then nothing but brutal assault follows. recorded April 2013.
CONTROLLED EXISTENCE is from Prague, Czech Republic, and manage to fit 8 crusty power violence songs on their side. Lyrics are a mix of Czech (?) and either Italian or Spanish, not sure which. No English translations on this side, which is a shame for under – educated Amerikans such as myself. Songs all stick to the same style, mid range vocals, lots of chaotic speed amongst groove laden riffs. Songs recorded February 2013.
This split is 14 tracks of total fury in about the same number of minutes. Definitely recommended for fans of power violence / grindcore and guaranteed to please.

0 An Interview with RIFLE DIET
by leffer
· Uncategorized
I recently did an interview with Minneapolis punk thrashers, RIFLE DIET. Read up on how they've been hitting the circuit and screaming about the ills of our world and personal turmoil. (interview by Leffer)
1. Rifle Diet has been around for some time now. Give us some insight on what brought the band to fruition and what the driving force is behind the band and its music.
Mariko(vox/lyrics): For me, having been in Garmonbozia for so long, Thrash compactor was a chance to do something completely new. I was into hardcore at the time, so I asked members of hardcore bands that I liked like In Defence and Pandamonium to start a band. Over time our songs got more midtempo and heavy, the lyrics got more political, and we lost some of the people in the band so it just made sense to go a different direction as Rifle diet. Rifle diet is just about having fun and raging and doing what we want with it. We play what we want to hear, say what we want to say.
Will (guitar/vox): I write a lot of the music so for me it's all about making the noise I'd want to hear if I went to a show, I'm always trying to push things so I don't get bored. I also love touring/traveling so I mainly focus on writing and booking tour shows.
2. Your recent e.p. off Profane Existence is brutal….musically and lyrically. Elaborate on the context of the lyrics and what experiences from life do you bring with these words.
Mariko: Well on that record specifically I write about the experience of growing up in a household of abuse and how the cycle of abuse has affected me. It's about not making the mistake of thinking that if your partner abuses you that it doesn't affect your children and trying to give women strength to get their children out of that environment. "The Affected" is about living as a queer woman of color and taking offense to the idea that the punk scene is apolitical in this age so things like racism, sexism and homophobia no longer matter. How you can only brush these real issues off as politics if they don't affect you. To people of color, LGBTQ and women these issues are real parts of everyday life regardless of the fact that we are not in "the nineties" and that we matter and are worth fighting for.
3. You just got back from a recent tour. Tell us what the experience was like and how far did you venture out? Mitch from DESPISE filled on drums, what was the circumstance for that and how'd it pan out?
Will: First off this tour was awesome, we have a lot of truly rad friends who helped us out with shows and put us up. Anyone who helped us out or came to the shows thank you so much!
I originally started booking it as an East Coast tour but due to a bunch of different fests going on we had to re-route so it turned into a Midwest tour instead. Our drummer John couldn't get time off from his job and we had done a mini-tour with DESPISE in 2012 so we asked our good friend Mitch if he wanted to learn some songs and come out with us, it worked out great and we had a lot of fun.
4. Our DIY underground is a haven for people like us that "move out" of society and want to live away from the normalcy of daily consumption (e.g. , media, partisan politics, corporate garbage, etc.) Does Rifle Diet have a specific agenda in our DIY community? Some bands don't have a strong stance on any one particular "thing". Do you?
Will: Not really one thing no, there's a bunch of stuff really. Lately we've been trying to draw attention to the apathy towards and tolerance for sexism/misogyny, racism, violence towards women that exists in the DIY punk scene. People want to shove out of view because they like a given band or that a perpetrator is a friend or that it's become "cool" to be transgressive or taboo but that shit is fucked up and has no place in DIY punk.
Mariko: I think our message is be yourself, play the music you always wanted to that makes you feel alive and fight for what you believe in and rage hard while you do it.
5. What's next? Tell us what's around the corner for Rifle Diet. Give us some last words about the band and each other.
Will: We're working on some new songs and getting ready to record again, we don't really have any distro or anything lined up so any bands who want to do splits or cool labels that put out records should hit us up. I'm trying to get another tour together for late winter and that's all up in the air right now but we're trying to hook up with some of our friends in the Southeast, we'll see what happens.

poem by Comrade Black
When you're standing in a desert
That use to be a forest
Like the Fertile Crescent
Or the great Scottish rain forests
You know, where now what we call the Moor is
Or parking lots and paved roads where the meadow use to live
But you see the trick isn't to get over to the other side of the fence
But instead to tear it down altogether
A world free of false man made borders
Walls and fences
Cages are for captives
And we are meant to be free
As all life is meant to be
I hate walls and all the people who love them.[i]
I hate bars and prisons
And bars built to keep people drunk in
Captives to their own inebriation
Wasn't that drink suppose to give you escape?
But there is no escape when the whole world is our prison
Just another bottle do drown in
Not until the people have risen
To tear the oppression down
Bring the bastards down
No crowns
Royal or otherwise
[i] This line is a play off a line from anarcho-pop band Chumbawamba "I hate wars, and all the people who love them" from the song Here's The Rest Of Your Life from their second album Never Mind the Ballots
3 Damien Inbred's Column: Put Some Politics (back) In Your Punk!
by damieninbred
· Columns · PE Web Zine
First and foremost, my apologies for basically disappearing from the PE world in recent months. I hit a huge wall as far as writers' block, and I was sort of stuck in my usual bout of self-doubt, self-loathing, and that sort of thing. The never-ending cycle of mental shit that I'm too [whatever] to look into.
But that's not why I'm here today!
I'm here to ask a simple question of the DIY punk scene. What the hell happened? Why is it that in arguably the most horrific period of this generation, there is virtually no response from the youngest and least jaded punks? Have we as a subculture accepted defeat already? Has the political punk scene become so stale and reliant on old cliches that we cannot adapt to new challenges? Or has the stupid mindset of punk being "just music, maaaaan" taken over for good?
The world is absolutely fucked right now, and things are only getting worse. From rampant climate change, to reckless predatory capitalism. From Nobel Prize-winning presidents' beloved assassin drone acceleration to Russia's state-sponsored criminalization of an entire group of people. From the ongoing war of terrorism to the war on First Nations' people in Canada. From rape culture to the scourge of fascism in Greece. And that's just the first few examples from the top of my head. This is all right in front of our faces right now, and we're fiddling while the planet burns.
In the last couple of years I've seen political discourse in punk drop sharply, as I've seen sub-sub-subgenre revival trends come and go. Instead of thinking about current or relevant issues to sing or write about, it seems that these revivalists would rather ape their beloved punk heroes word for word (or in the case of seventh-rate American raw-d-beat attak bands, even write their lyrics in broken English as a gimmick). After all, the fashion and sound is much more important than having anything relevant to say these days!
I've even noticed this apathy in the punk scene in the reviews section of Profane Existence! It's become so rare that I see a review that mentions a band's lyrics, let alone challenges a band on anything. Reviews are always the most boring part of a magazine (and yes, I still do reviews here), especially when they are nothing more than a short puff piece for a record. Maybe I'm alone here, but I think a review should cover more than just what a band sounds like. What are they singing about? What are the lyrics like? Is there something dodgy in the art or the lyrics? Let us know! Something strike you as amazing, or as horrible? Speak up! There is a major difference between Profane Existence and other major punk zines. Profane was founded as a blatantly political magazine and label. An alternative to punk scene apathy. A place for the anarchists and radicals to exchange ideas and listen to some killer tunes at the same time. If the anarchopunk community can't rise above lazy apathy, what's the point in continuing? We're anarcho-punks for a reason. Anarchy still isn't about hanging out on the internet and paying 600 dollars for an old record.
Am I calling for a "PC police" or whatever ignorant bullshit term is going to be thrown my way when this gets published? Give me a break. I'm far from perfect, and frankly I've never met anyone who isn't. I love the DIY punk community, I love anarchopunk, and I hate the state of the world. We're all in this for a reason, and we should all take a moment to think deeply about why we're here. Do you give a shit? Or is this just another fashion for you? Have you ever stopped to consider any of this before?
Activism takes many forms, and you can still rock the fuck out while educating or making a difference. Punk can be a huge part of the revolution, as long as we let ourselves!
-Doomed Society Radio still exists. It's also growing, and becoming a label. I'm putting on a couple of benefit shows to help pay for the first release, which will be a much-beloved Canadian anarchist band. It will be co-released with their label and a couple of others. http://doomedsocietyradio.wordpress.com
-I'm not trying to alienate people with this column. I'm just sick of punks not challenging the status quo.
0 COMMUNION OF THIEVES: TO SERVE MAN: CD – R DEMO REVIEW
CoT is a fem fronted 5 piece blackened crust band from El Paso Texas. There isn't much punk at all with this outfit, apart from the red / anarchist message. ISKRA call themselves anarchist metal, and this outfit isn't far from that description. The demo package for this CD is awesome and totally DIY. Even the CD itself has the album cover printed onto the top with a glossy finish. To Serve Man is 7 tracks (two of which open and close the album with no lyrics) played out in a little bit more than 30 minutes. Recorded and released in 2012, by Culture War Distro. The lyrics, just like the art, are anti – Christian in general, and talk about body politics and street riots in particular. Two of the songs are entirely sung in Spanish, true to nature as some of the members are of Hispanic origin. Their latest effort is a split release with a power violence band from Phoenix called Biocidio.
The opening track, Twilight of Capitalism 2, is a 3 minute instrumental prelude of the anarchist crust to come. The guitar plays a repetitive minor key riff amidst sounds of urban unrest and general chaos, most likely caused by civil warfare. Lots of sound samples keep it interesting for the 3:20, and ends with a crowd chanting for either peace or freedom.
Bottomless Execration comes next and instantly brings the black metal inspired crust that will play out through the rest of this album. Minor key riffage on dual guitars, truly off the wall drumming that fully drowns itself in the art of blst beats, and reverb on the screeched out vocals. COMMUNION OF THIEVES truly is a force to be reckoned with. Beauty Beyond An Image slows the pace a bit, but just to make it more clearly emotional and melodic without losing the aggression. Innocencia Interrumptida quickly returns to blast beat black metal form. The acoustic intro for Black Earth is great, and the basic guitar pattern is used a lot through the rest of the song, albeit faster and distorted. Pasos Libres is definitely one of the best musical compositions, there's a lot of rage seething to escape, and after it is released, it gets washed into the drainage ditch with a thunderstorm, which ends up cleansing the listener in a rain storm with acoustic guitars before this beast is put to rest.
This demo is amazing and has top – notch production but retains a dusty feeling from the desert. Although I thought this album would be very difficult to improve upon, you should really check out the new material on their bandcamp page, since they were able to do just that.

0 BLOODSHOT AND DILATED / BLOOD STAINED REALITY: SPLIT 7": REVIEW
This crusty California split 7" brings 4 songs from each band on a raging blue marble slab o' wax. Blood Shot and Dilated play some crusty D – Beat influenced punk that maintains some hardcore and death metal elements. With dual (and sometimes triple) vocals with an overly competent drummer, there is just no stopping this East Bay band. The guitar and bass throw in a touch of emotion and lots of thrash attack mixed with a hint of black riffage. The drums easily hit the speed of death / black metal, and recoil back in time to maintain the base speed. Their last song, Bite The Hand, reminds me a bit of melodic Scandi – crust.
Blood Stained Reality comes from the sunny streets of San Diego, but you wouldn't know it by the sound. The vocals are bigger and more liquor stained, unlike B&D who tend to scream a bit much. Also, the metal influence is gone, replaced with only pure SoCal punk. While there is no emotive or really even melodic approach, there is significant groove and a few breakdowns thrown in for good measure. Neither band sing about anything new or earth – shaking, but they team up for a great split on this release and compliment each other well.
7" limited to 500 copies, this one at least, is on blue marble. A co – release from a couple small time labels, and recorded in 2012 in East Palo Alto California.

0 STOLEN KIDNEYS: S/T 7": REVIEW
Stolen Kidneys is a relatively new garage / psychedelic punk band from Finland, and this record ep was released August of 2013. Here we have 3 new songs in just over 10 minutes on a heavy slab o wax that says play at 33rpm, but should be 45rpm. The lyrics cover topics such as corporate greed, and being trapped by material possessions in your apartment. Musically, hopping drums keep an odd time signature, while the guitar and bass play cold riffs. The riffs aren't melodic, more like knife chops through meat. The heavily distorted sound can drown out parts of the drums at times, and some parts get really chaotic. The singer basically just shouts out urgent messages while trying to keep time with the music, not very original in my opinion. The opening of side B (omnipresence) reminds me of a Dead Kennedys song, but I forgot which one. The music is very choppy and goes right with the beat, before eventually going into a psychedelic breakdown, followed by loads of feedback before eventually spacing out. Both sides of this record end in the same manner, being overwhelmed by feedback and noise, and then just passing out into unconsciousness.

0 MORKT KAPITTEL: GRO IGJEN: LP REVIEW
Originally formed in 2007 to be a Totalitar cover band, Morkt Kapittel from Trondheim Norway realized they had too many ideas to just be a cover band. Gro Igjen is their second effort released May 2013. Their first release, a S/T 7" was released April 2010. With a matured sound, and 4 songs in 14 minutes, this record stands by itself. This all white one sided LP has the cover art (a parachute dog) laser etched onto the B-side. Very impressive, must have cost a bit to release, definitely a treat for the fans. The gate fold sleeve opens up to reveal more art and lyrics written exclusively in Norwegian, with no translations available.
Morkt Kapittel plays melodic crust punk, currently a favorite among masses worldwide, and especially in Scandinavia. The sound can be described as somewhere between the crust of Wolfbrigade and the melody of To What End?, with lots of twists in between. The sound on this recording is more melodic than on the 7", but still keeps the edge. With excellent guitar melodies, top – notch drumming, competent bass and a strong vocal presence, this band shows a lot of talent, which may help make them big within the European scene.

SUA Senior Zoey Tan earns National Merit Scholarship Honor
St. Ursula Academy is proud to announce that senior Zoey Tan of Holland has earned semi-finalist honors from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation for her performance on the Preliminary SAT (PSAT). Her score places her in the top 16,000 students in the nation and offers her scholarship opportunities for higher education.
Tan enrolled in SUA's Junior Academy in sixth grade. She is the daughter of Amelia Soh and James Tan.
Tan prepared for the PSAT by working with a small group of students led by an SUA teacher. "Our teacher walked us through what our thought process should look like when presented with certain types of questions. This kind of preparation helped me a lot on the reading and language sections. I also used practice tests to review topics that I wasn't as confident in or hadn't touched in a while, such as probability and geometry."
Tan is currently interested in schools such as Yale, Stanford, University of Michigan, and Case Western Reserve University, where she plans to major in biochemistry. "Earning National Merit status not only gives me scholarship opportunities, but also helps me stand out when applying to colleges."
At SUA, Tan has been involved in many activities. "I have been part of the school's robotics club since my freshman year. I am also the treasurer of the National Honor Society and a school ambassador." Outside of school, she works as a martial arts instructor.
"SUA has provided me with courses that challenged me to work hard, so I feel like I'm ready to face anything college throws at me. My teachers have all guided me through my high school education and prepared me for the future."

President Donald Trump complained during a White House meeting Wednesday that his planned State of the Union Address had been canceled. The president blamed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who had asked him to postpone the speech until the government shutdown was resolved.
"The State of the Union speech has been cancelled by Nancy Pelosi because she doesn't want to hear the truth. She doesn't want the American public to hear what's going on," Trump said.

"I ordered some of your unscented products last month (bar soap, kukui oil, & lip balm) and absolutely love them. I'm on Accutane right now for cystic acne and it is known to cause incredibly dry, flaky skin. Well, when I saw my dermatologist last week, she was very impressed with how great my skin looked. I told her about Hawaiian Bath and Body, that I've been using your stuff exclusively, and she asked her nurse to write down your company name so she can check you out herself.
"This is Amy, Michael Keane's wife. We met you on our honeymoon at your factory store on the weekend of 1/26/08. How are you? Just wanted to drop you an email, complimenting you on the great quality of your soaps! We absolutely love the patchouli soap and would like to order more…like a whole box! I have a bit of psoriasis on my elbow, and the soap helped clear it up without medication. Don't you just love natural healing?
"We are from a northern and VERY cold Canadian climate in Edmonton, Alberta. I have discovered (just by trying it!) that your Kukui Nut Oil is FANTASTIC in my hair! No kidding!
Our skin and hair is very dry here because of the cold, and like many women, my hair is color treated so tends to dry out more quickly. I use just a drop or two of the unscented Kukui Nut oil in towel-dried hair and it adds moisture and shine without being greasy or oily. I highly recommend this practice about every second hair-washing — excellent results!
"I was visiting my son in February, I visited your place. I bought a bunch of your soaps and the Kukui Nut oil. I have to tell you, your products are amazing. I have been using a prescription cream on my face for some allergic stuff for years. I use your soaps on my face every morning and evening, in the evening I put the Kukui oil on my face, neck and chest, for over two months now, I have not used the prescription cream and I have no itching. Thank you Thank you for saving me $30 a month!! Plus my skin is looking really great, I'm 53 and that means a lot!!

Donald Trump Releases Curious Letter on State of Tied-Up Tax Returns
Trump's tax counsel says his returns from 2002 to 2008 have been "closed administratively"
Published Mar 31, 2016 at 4:28 AM | Updated at 4:53 AM PDT on Mar 31, 2016
FILE - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally, March 19, 2016, in Fountain Hills, Arizona.
Donald Trump's campaign quietly published a letter from the real estate mogul's tax counsel regarding the state of his tax returns, bolstering claims made by Trump that he is continuously audited by the IRS due to the complexity and breadth of his returns, NBC News reported.
"Your personal tax returns have been under continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service since 2002, consistent with the IRS' practice for large and complex businesses," the letter reads.
It also states that Trump's returns from 2009 forward are still under audit, but that audits on returns from 2002 to 2008 have been "closed administratively."
The GOP front-runner has previously bristled at the state of his tax returns when pressed by reporters.
