I am looking to start a martial art. I am 42 years old and I prefer striking rather than wrestling/grappling arts (for many reasons, such as being able to practice at least some of it on my own or being able to learn them more quickly).

I absolutely want to avoid strikes to the head when in training - studies that link boxing and brain damage got me scared. I don't have a problem with strikes to the body, even if they are somewhat painful. This preference might change in my 50's though.

I strongly prefer some sort of sparring (light/no contact), preferably from the beginning; I like to know that I am moving "in the right direction", that I am not horribly mangling the techniques.

What do you suggest?

    I think it might help if you edit your question to address why you want to take up martial arts (fun, fitness, self-defense, etc.) other than that it is more about the individual teacher, rather than the art since you know you want a striking art. – Michael Yamnato Jul 1 '17 at 14:24

    Teacher matters more than style. Visit a variety of studios - there are multiple answers on this forum that advise you on how to evaluate a school. My Tai Chi school would fit your criteria, but most would not; if you screened by style first, you'd miss an opportunity. Don't forget weapons schools - you can practice weapons solo and do sparring without head shots. But ultimately, visit teachers and choose based on teachers and senior students. Choose based on what you see on the mat. – Mark C. Wallace Jul 1 '17 at 20:21
  • Summarizing the preferences: avoid wrestling/grappling; avoid head strikes while training; include light/no contact sparring. – Daniel Reis Jul 14 '17 at 12:35

Combining the terms "Martial Art" and "avoiding head strikes" is a tall order. The two are mutually exclusive, honestly. The head and its surrounds are excellent and strategic targets in all arts martial. That said, there are plenty of so-called martial arts that reduce their focus on head strikes, primarily for liability reasons, or out of ignorance. Tae Kwon Do includes head strikes, but various schools tend to minimize this aspect of the art.

Each instructor of each art tends to emphasize certain aspects more than others, so I would recommend you attend a training session and talk to the instructor about your concerns and interests.

Perhaps you would do well with a martially inspired exercise regimen - Tai Chi, Tae Bo, or some form of aerobic kickboxing where contact is extremely limited.

Also, some of the sport variants of Tae Kwon Do and Karate have less contact than their martial brethren and might be good to investigate.

Don't expect to find a serious martial art that doesn't include head strikes. Head contact is a whole other consideration. Control is the issue here, practice striking towards the head does not necessitate actually making contact and this is where observing classes is key. Don't go to a school where folks are boxing each other's head and face unless you want to enjoy all that that contact entails. I'm not suggesting there isn't value in making some contact, just that it should be very controlled.

First - it's mostly going to depend on your instructor, regardless of style. It's better to know up front if your instructor will modify to help you or not.

Primarily weapon arts, with strong crossover into empty hand fighting. Most schools focus on drills and light sparring, since, you know, you don't have to hammer people in the head with stick to know hammering people in the head with a stick is effective.

Many weapon focal arts are like this - since weapons can cause serious injury, the sparring tends to not go heavy or hard in terms of force. You may find yourself limited in some schools since some move up to padded/helmet sparring, but you can talk to the instructors and find out beforehand.

Some forms of Kung fu

Many Chinese styles made the change towards no head hits or focusing on training to hitting to the chest for the sake of safety before adequate safety gear was invented.

There's numerous pitfalls that can appear with this modification, the biggest being the temptation to stop protecting the head if no one is attacking to the head. Some schools still teach the defensive positioning while an unfortunate many forget to do so. Look for what's local to you, see if you can find some video of their movement and talk to the instructors as well.

  • Also: what you can learn from striking arts without a partner is more limited than what you think. You can certainly get your ability to deliver force quite well on your own with a heavy bag or target. But the timing, reach, and reading opponent's movements still work best with a partner. In fact, those are things you can improve despite any issues of age, and often are where older fighters can win over faster, stronger, young ones. – Bankuei Jul 6 '17 at 15:29

Start any martial art you want. The martial art itself won't define if you get kicked in the head or not, the school you're in will.

Ask the question before joining : "Hey, do you guys spare with head contact or not? If I'm not comfortable with it, would I be forced to do it?"

Your problem seems to be that you think when you train MA everyone you train with will hit you with all they've got. That is wrong, Martial Arts are about developing yourself. If you get a nice school, your training partners will adapt to you. If you think they hit too hard, tell 'em. You'll need to progress, one step at a time.

For example, you can't expect to take a hit from a good black belt of similar weight right when you start, you'd probably choke. So they'll spar easier with you. That doesn't mean they'll go easy on you, you'll probably get hit a lot more than you hit, but these hits won't be painful. You need to be comfortable saying that a hit hurts, because your partner can't know by themselves.

One other possibility is Capoeira. At first blush, it may seem like an unlikely candidate, given it involves a lot of very athletic movement, something I know I didn't feel myself very up to in my 30s when I started, let along my 40s, but a lot of it, especially in Capoeira Angola, is more a steady controlled movement than a lot of rapid snaps, and the mestres often continue to play Capoeira into their 60s and 70s. It includes sparring from the beginning, but sparring in the roda is largely non-contact, with the action being more of a game than a fight, maneuvering your opponent into a position where he can't dodge and then demonstrating that you could have struck them, but didn't.

As a bonus, it's very much a whole-body movement, which means you're constantly training your balance and proprioception, something which comes in handy as you get older and more prone to falls.

For an example of older mestres in action, a game between Mestre João Grande and Mestre João Pequeno who were 69 and 81 respectively at the time.

I would suggest to compare your requirements with the competition rules of each martial arts.

Usually, the high level martial arts schools competes at some point. So better choose one of those the one that the sparring techniques don't involve head kicking/punching.

From my personal experience I would choose Karate.

On one hand, Kyokushin Karate doesn't allow head punches. Despite of this head kick are allowed (and they are hard) but I don't think your partners will do that during the training (for sure they will do it at competitions). On the other hand, you have the rest of Karate styles that competes under WKF. They have a strict non (or soft) contact. So it would be the best fit for you.

Saying so, I think the best option is to check the martial arts schools around you, see how they train and then make a decission.

I agree with @decuser that some Taekwondo schools may also minimize the contact but sticking again to the rules, they are allowed.

I currently train HEMA (Historic European Martial Arts) and I think that would suit you perfectly.

HEMA is primarily based around training with a longsword and while there is some striking to the head, you don't get the twisting motion of the head as you do in boxing. This motion shakes the brain around, it is why you get knockouts and it is one of the primary reasons why the brain takes damage. The reason this doesn't happen in longsword fighting is due to the fact that a longsword is meant for cutting, so brute force isn't a big factor.

HEMA is also easy to practice at home. There are many ways to train your swordmanship alone, although I do recommend doing it outside if you're training with a sword. The great thing is that forms can be trained using something as simple as a flyswatter if you don't want to risk the furniture.

It is a bit of a gearsport once you get into it, but you can start out with fairly little. If there is a HEMA club in or near your home town I would recommend talking to them. They will most likely lend you everything you need for the first few times so that you can try it out and see if you like it.

I believe Taekwon-do can fit in your requirements. I'm 42 and recently restarted WTF-style practice after 10-15 years inactivity.

Be careful to choose a school that does not focus too much on olympic sport sparring, which is not what you want. These see Taekwon-do just as a combat sport, rather than a martial art.

Sparring should still be in the curriculum, but the practice would be mostly "controlled sparring" (you aim to touch, not to hit), which only has light contact.

If you like competing, there are also options other than sparring: there forms (poomsae) competitions for all ages and grades.

Wing Chun, if it hasn't already been suggested. It doesn't focus on the head, the closest it gets is the neck.

| improve this answer | |

Your best bet is learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. You won't do striking at first, but once you start going to MMA sparring the strikes are very light. It's much easier to control punch power while grappling vs standing far apart. People just do light touches, as there's no point in hitting hard during grappling training.

The problem is you will have to go quite a bit (around a year) to get to the level where you're able to do "rolling with punches."

Book report #87: Dennis Lehane, A Drink Before the War

Lehane has gotten better since this, his first novel. (Mystic River is, in my estimation, very nearly a Great Book.) I have the feeling throughout this that he's finding his feet, relying on genre convention a bit overmuch, and his prose is a bit rocky in places--he's leaning hard on the cliches of noir, and sometimes the resultant strain to the narrative voice makes me wince. And man, his protagonist is the luckiest Mutherfucker ever to ride the T.

The book needs confidence, and that shows.

Also, man, that's a lot of gunfights for one week in Boston. It gets a little Hollywood after a while. However, I forgive him for having the courage to go after some rather unsavory plot developments, no holds barred, and not flinch from the nastier things his protagonists do. Nor is there an Obligatory Love Interest Plot that plays out in a predictable fashion.

However, as first novels go, it's a damned fine effort, and the thriller plot works! No handwaving, even, and no long Dashiell Hammett-esque exposition-at-gunpoint scenes--it actually all more or less comes together. The characters are fun, the plot runs like an engine, and you know it's set in Boston because it mentions an Au Bon Pain. (All books set in Boston must mention an Au Bon Pain. It's a Law.) Also, the books asks some hard questions and keeps pushing at them until it gets past all the easy facile answers and into the real hard ground of fuck man, I don't know. Which is a trait he's kept through Mystic River, and I salute him.

Recommended, though it's not a patch on his later work.

I'm seventeen years old both my parents are short. is there any way for me to grow taller. i mocked by most of people because of height.anyone plz tell me succesful way to grow taller

  • Welcome to HealthSE! Please take the tour and read the help. Please try to edit your question with the help of "how to ask". – LаngLаngС Dec 2 '17 at 18:26

No, there isn’t.

How much variation (difference between individuals) in height is attributable to genetic effects and how much to nutritional effects?" The short answer to this question is that about 60 to 80 percent of the difference in height between individuals is determined by genetic factors, whereas 20 to 40 percent can be attributed to environmental effects, mainly nutrition. This answer is based on estimates of the "heritability" of human height: the proportion of the total variation in height due to genetic factors.

Can special treatment and nutrient supplements increase the height further? The answer is yes. The most important nutrient for final height is protein in childhood. Minerals, in particular calcium, and vitamins A and D also influence height. Because of this, malnutrition in childhood is detrimental to height.

Whether they continue to grow significantly or not is not anyone’s decision, but already determined by the diet when OP was a toddler and by the genes – Narusan Dec 1 '17 at 13:38

5 Tips to Help you Get Financial Success

Check out the 5 tips given below that’ll help you gain financial success easily.

  1. Stop Impulse Buying:
  2. The very first thing you’ve got to do in case of financial planning is stop your impulse buying habit. There’s undoubtedly a lot of persuasive advertising going on all around that wants a share of your wallet. The important bit is that you shouldn’t just buy an item that you didn’t plan to. High chances that after your initial impulse when you’ve stopped yourself from making the purchase, then you might not feel like buying it anymore.

  1. Always Evaluate and Budget:
  2.  The key to financial success remains in controlling and understanding where exactly you spend your money. If you aren’t in control of your finances, then it’s more than likely that the outcome won’t be something you’d like. This is why it’s important that you evaluate and analyze your income as well as your expenditure.

status: open for commissions!

I'm out of story prompts, and my book projects seem to have been delayed, so I'm available for private commissions! If you, or anyone you know is looking for artwork that falls outside the range of my Story Sketches project, now is the time to ask!

The art tag here on my journal, and the galleries at have samples of what I can do. All my recent work is done digitally in ArtRage Studio Pro, for a natural media look without the mess :) That means I don't ship original artwork, but I can make prints available through Imagekind, if anyone wants a physical copy.

The sponsorship targets from my call for prompts should give a fair idea of my price range, e.g. for A4 or similar size, 300dpi (print resolution) complete scenes (with one-few character(s) doing something in an environment):

  • $75 - monochrome, continuous tone (chalk/pencil tool) drawing

  • $100 - one colour line-art (ink pen tool, stippling/crosshatch style shading)

  • $150 - full colour image

Smaller and simpler images, such as spot illustrations or portraits from exact photo reference will, of course, cost less, and I can be flexible on pricing for personal projects that don't need reproduction rights, so let me know if you're on a budget!

All Said And Done

All said and done,

There is an undue jubilation,

What for ?I do not know,

Why for ?I  know not.

The revelations get ahead,

Of the normal  course,

Creating a gorgeous retinue,

Of a fine grandeur,

Exhibiting a charming diaspora ,

Of a regal distinction,

Revealing a brimming sequence,

Of a  flourishing  prosperity,

Calling all to a spectacle ,

Of rejoice and fantasy,

Missing the quint essence,

Of humility and rationality,

Faltering on a biased credibility,

Based on inflated pride,

Rendering a melodramatic ,

Regiment of snobbery ,

Culminating in a point end,

Of  hypocrisy and falsity,

Demoralising the existence

Of decency and decorum,

Distinguishing the sensibility ,

Of fact and fiction.

Laissez Faire Et Laissez passer.

Leave the world as it is,

It will prosper,

Leave the people as they are,

They will succeed,

Leave the economy as it is,

It will grow,

Leave Nature as it is,

It will enhance.

Let not  the government interfere,

In enlightening the world,

Let not the regulations  intervene,

In the life of people.

Let not restrictions complicate,

The growing economy,

Let not Man’s intrusions,

Spoil the beauty of Nature.

Let them move as they wish,

Let them live as they want,

Let  trade and commerce flourish freely,

Let Nature  blossom  without any hassle.

Thus imposing a grandeur and magnificence.

Widespread Corruption Undermining India’s Economic Gains

Article first published as Widespread Corruption Undermining India’s Economic  Gains on  Blogcritics

Business is for profit, but there are ethics and principles to be followed.

Doing business in India requires special skills, including a dubious mind and a strong, wicked heart. Ratan Tata, of Tata and sons, has had said that his ambition to get into the aviation business in 1996 was shattered by government bureaucracy. He admitted that he would have had to pay bribes of roughly 15 million Rs (or roughly $3 million). He did not want to do that, so he lost an opportunity. Well, that, in a nutshell, is Indian business.

Of late the business situation has deteriorated greatly, with more and more frauds being exposed. The Satyam computer fraud has reached $2.5 billion. The disgraced former chairman of the Indian outsourcing giant Ramalinga Raju cooked the books and embezzled millions to buy prime real estate in major cities. India hosted the Commonwealth Games 2010 in New Delhi, which revealed a huge corruption scandal in the construction of stadiums, and money-laundering involving a UK firm.

A 2G spectrum financial scandal in the telecommunication and IT ministry under A. Raja is the largest case of political corruption in modern Indian history, amounting to $40 billion lost by the government of India from underpricing. The minister sold the telecom bandwidth on a first come first serve basis to a chosen few vested interests and grossly undervalued it; it should have been put under a transparent auction system.

A few days ago, the Central Bureau of Investigation arrested the CEO of Life Insurance Corporation and three senior executives of public sector banks on allegations of large kickbacks involving a loan scam and trading insider information on companies.

While India is trying to emerge as an economic superpower, these scams and scandals are tearing the ribs of the nation apart. Its reputation as an IT giant and its rising economy are taking a beating. Overseas entrepreneurs will have to think twice before they set foot on Indian soil

Applications Modern.

Writing has taken a form different,

As  scripts are not done by hands,

Reading has assumed a mode different,

As books  are  in e format,

Calculating  is done by a method different,

As calculators do the   mathematical procedure,

Talking is  by an application different,

As the software applicationsallow voice calls,

Finding routes   is by a system different,

As the GPRS tracks the destination,

Heating is  accomplished by a conduction different,

As microwave  adopt dielectric heating,

Washing is carried by a process different,

As separate machine washes laundry and dish,

Opening  doors is worked out by ways different,

As hydraulic fluid is used to operate the movement.

All these create an ease and comfort different,

 By making the use of mind and brain indifferent,

Both forget their  significance  affront,

As they tend to lose their value inherent,

Subduing them as a mere  puppet ,

In the hands of the modern gadget.

Early In The Morn.

A call early in the morn cracked  the complacency,

A voice of an  old friend broke the  equanimity,

Dispelling the cheer and joy  early in the  morn.

The  conversation   that transpired was disenchanting,

It  logged round an   insensible indecent probing,

Diffusing  briskness and activity  early in the morn.

The  friendly tone was   packed with artifice

The talk  surrounded on  a  preconceived  fix,

Destroying the placidity and sobriety  early in the  morn.

The enquiry was a mischievous query,

Curious to know of an unexpected misery,

Thwarting the ease and comfort  early in the morn.

Suppressing the  burning rage

By keeping  the talk in a nonchalant  range,

Meted  out  both a blow and a thrash   early in the morn.

Why do they engage in such scorn?

Might be it is a quality inborn,

Demoralising  the   demeanour early in the morn.

Like Brewing Tea

An aromatic fragrance spreads,

As the tea leaves brew ,

A symptomatic  anger  reads,

As the mind  boils.

The  bitterness lurks in the lips ,

As you sip,

The remorse sets  your mood,

As you brood,

The intake of tea rejuvenate,

The body

The  outburst of anger  destroys ,

The mind.

The body and mind clash,

As indignity  crash,

Enacting a demonstration,

Of a vociferous reaction,

Causing a  terrible collision,

Rendering a   serious  concentration,

Of conflict and controversy,

Ascertaining a destruction,

Of soul and spirit.

Brewing tea needs special skill,

Bubbling anger restricts the will.

Settling a macabre  turn to thoughts

A Crow

Can you call a crow beautiful?

I hear you chuckle,

Why not?I mumble.

Never will I ! you grumble.

A bird with no beauty,

Moves with lot of activity,

Harnessing a lot of sensitivity,

Over the multitudes in society,

By imposing a grand   invincibility.

Unmoved by its appearance,

Unperturbed by  other’s arrogance

The crow caws with a reference,

To the day-to-day occurrence,

Relying on its  certain deliverance.

Though its colour is black,

It get rids of all the garbage  track,

Never does it slack,

From  its duties pack,

Eliminating a  thorough attack.

It heralds the dawn,

With its calling drawn,

Dispelling a sluggish yawn,

Initiating a wakeful  yarn,

With an enthusiastic fawn.

Even an unattractive  bird dread,

Has  a  great missionary thread,

Directing to the  charitable  tread,

It may   sound an unfamiliar  shred,

But it  is truly a  courteous  theme ahead.

The Guardian Angel

 While treading down the lane,

In a forbidden plane,

Tracked  the   terrible sights

In  blazing lights,

 That left an indelible scar.

The chaos was aghast,

With din and  blast,

The blood and   bodies dead,

Were  strewn  ahead,

Remnant of a massacre wicked.

The fright was choking,

As the tears came pouring,

The pain was intolerable,

As the heart sunk in  trouble,

Reflecting on the despair.

Unable to find a coherence,

Unfit to trace a sequence,

The mind wonders in a desolation,

Suppressing  the isolation,

A recollection of the indifference.

The  Guardian angel  enters

 Blesses the unpleasant  tenders,

Uttering  words of  grace

Preaching   a definite  grace,

Resonant of a  “Great Mass”

Mystery Shrouds.

There was no response to the knock,

There was no   move   what so ever,

Enumerating a silence moreover.

Gazing through the window

Moving stealthily below,

The thundering bellow.

Rains lashed the  roof,

Lightening gave a severe hoof,

There appeared to be a proof ,

Of activity  in  aloof.

With a small mouse,

Enabling  a curious carouse

With rapt attention arouse.

Messages fly in the air,

Pregnant with thoughts fair

Accompanied by pictures rare,

 Seeking  a lovely  fare,

With a recognised  care.

A  few misgivings are there,

That of privacy tear,

Distinguishing a  grade bare,

Leading to  an apprehension fair.

As always there are two sides to a coin,

Revealing  that good and bad conjoin,

To expose a  relevance  that rejoins,

With an innovation   adjoin

  Fusing into a classicism  enjoin.

Online Dating and Distance

Online Dating and Distance

If you’ve decided to plunge into the world of online dating keep in mind that you’ll have to face a certain amount of impediments to overcome. One of the things that may prevent you from meeting the love of your life is the distance.There are two ways to solve the problem. The first one is to try maintaining long term relationships with your partner (or LDR, as they are called in cyberspace). But this type of relationships requires a lot of patience indeed. The other one – is to find the way to meet with your one and only offline.

Of course, if you both live in one country – there are no problems for you. But what if you are to cross the ocean in order to kiss your honey? If you both feel that your offline meeting is worth your efforts to be applied, then it’s high time to act.

First of all discuss with your partner how much you can budget for any travel expenses.
Financial issue is not a very pleasant topic to discuss when your heart is filled with love and romance. But anyway this is one of the most important questions coupled with your future travelling.

In case the money issue is not a problem for you it’s high time to find out all the necessary info about visa and the terms of its process. Be prepared to wait a little as it can take you about a couple of weeks to gather all the documents you need to cross the border.

But even in case you meet, unfortunately your honeymoon (day, week) won’t last long. And now ask yourself whether you are really able to maintain healthy relationships consisting of phone calls, online communication and occasional meetings in person.

If your feelings are really strong enough to make one of you leave your home country and start living together- that will be great. Don’t allow the distance to destroy your would be happiness.

5 thoughts on “Online Dating and Distance”

  • Where to look for relationships depends on what you want out of a relationship. Thanks to the internet you can look the world over. Relationships sometimes come when you least expect them. You may end up in a relationship you only dreamed about and when you did not expect it. The key is to “search”. If you don’t look you will not receive. Look into places like chat lines, dating sites, relationship sites, matchmaking sites. You may find places people are looking for love you did not expect. Everyone wants love in their life. What you may not know is “millions of people want to meet you”. They want to talk to you thru emails, chat lines, dating sites, and in person.

  • Before you decide to jump headfirst into long-distance relationships, you should first agree on an end goal with your partner — a specific time, be it six months or a year, when the separation is going to end. You can reunite, she can move home, you can follow or you can call it quits

  • I been in two long distance relationship. One of them I dated them then he went to bootcamp and got deployed. My last relationship I knew him since high school but he was already stationed at a army base so we decided to start dating. Saw him twice over the entire year we were together. And it just happen. Neither relationship worked out because to be honest, I like to do the whole wine and dine thing. It takes a pretty tough person that is mature emotionally and mentally to get through long distance relationship. It didn’t work for me but good luck!

  • Never say never! Love always finds a way. And you never knoe when and where it’ll come. If you truly love someone you’ll easily overcome such difficulties like time and distance. Been there, done that.

  • If she’s willing to move to where you are, I think she’ll be somewhat ready to face what’s in store for her. I think just give her time to adjust and some space and maybe a new job

The 10 Commandments: A List or a Lifestyle? (5-10)

Walk in the WoodsAt the end of Deuteronomy there’s a blessing for those who keep the commandments described throughout the book.  The summary of them is in Deuteronomy 5, known as the 10 Commandments.   But these commands are more than what we typically think of when we hear that reference–more than a list of do’s and don’ts, more than a checklist of how we’ve done in being a good person.  These commandments describe a lifestyle in alignment with God’s character and heart and His will for us.  In this 2-part blog, we’re looking at the lifestyle behind each command to see just how this blessing comes about as we align with Him.  (more…)

The Surprising Results of Submission

Submission.  It’s not a very popular word in our society.  Normally we think of someone giving up their will in deference to one with more power.  More recently it seems it’s come to mean someone giving in against their will.  Webster’s defines it as “humbly obedient, ceasing to offer resistance, to defer to another’s wishes.”  Even those definitions don’t sound as bad as the word itself – “submission.”  At least that’s how I felt. Then I began to learn a simple saying, but a difficult lesson:  “The way we submit to our leaders on earth is the way we submit to God.” (Rabbi Kirt Schneider)  Hmm, how am I at submission?  (more…)

Our 8th annual compilation, "Compendium of Metal Vol. 8" was released as always at the Keep It True festival, which was on April 24th this year.

The CD features 14 songs of 12 bands, and contains a new, exclusive song of MELIAH RAGE, as well as previously unreleased pre-MELIAH RAGE rehearsal track from 1986, new exclusive studio recording of RISEN PROPHECY (young thrash/power act from UK), new demo version of a song of BLOOD ATONEMENT (speed/thrash metal from Germany, feat. WARHAMMER members), live version of previously unreleased track of ARKHAM WITCH, and a new, previously unreleased song of DOOMSHINE (not final mix). Besides, it features songs from the new (April) releases of DARK QUARTERER (Italian epic/prog legends which we signed this year), STONEGRIFF and ARKHAM WITCH (covering THE LAMP OF THOTH). There's also a previously only self-released (digitally) METAL LAW song from their 2013 EP. Only 4 tracks (of OUTRAGE, MORTALICUM, HI-GH and ALBERT BELL'S SACRO SANCTUS) are taken from our 2014 releases.

Check the complete track list and more info about "Compendium of Metal Vol. 8" on the page of this release.

The CD, released with an informative 8 pages booklet, and jam-packed with old school metal in various styles (packed as always to the maximum: 74 minutes of music!), costs 6,00 Euro, but you can have it for 4,00 Euro if you order it with any regular CD from our catalogue (we have added this option to every single CD page in our SHOP). You can purchase the bundle of "Compendium of Metal" Vol. 7 + Vol. 8 as well - this 2-CD bundle costs only 8,00 Euro. The album is also available as digital download from our Bandcamp page for 4,00 Euro only.

We put only 9 songs in the Bandcamp player, but you can preview all 14 tracks (about 1-minute excerpts) from the album trailer/promo clip which you can watch on YouTube or here:

Three regular CD releases and one EP are already out this year. Here's the list of our recent and planned 2015 releases:

April 24th:
VV.AA. "Compendium of Metal Vol. 8" CD
STONEGRIFF "Come Taste the Blood" CD (Traditional Doom Metal from Sweden)
DARK QUARTERER "Ithaca" CD (Epic/Progressive Metal from Italy)
RISEN PROPHECY "Into The Valley of Hinnom" CD (Thrash/Power Metal from UK)
ARKHAM WITCH "Get Thothed Vol. I" MCD (Doom/Heavy Metal from UK)

July 9th:
MELIAH RAGE "Before the Kill" CD (Power/Thrash Metal from USA)
DOOMSHINE "The End Is Worth Waiting For" CD (Epic Doom Metal from Germany)

November 20th:
ARKHAM WITCH "I Am Providence" CD (Heavy Metal from UK)
ARKHAM WITCH "Get Thothed Vol. II" MCD (Doom/Heavy Metal from UK)
METAL LAW "Hellrider" CD (Classic Heavy Metal from Germany)
BLOOD ATONEMENT "Carcosa" CD (Speed/Thrash Metal from Germany)

We hope there will be no changes to this plan but, as always, it depends on the bands if they deliver the albums on time.

Writer’s Workshop, week 2

“I wonder how the story can improve from this each week,” said Snow Melts Somewhere last week when I posted my story for the Writer’s Workshop at Go Dog Go Café. Isn’t this the sweetest? This week I tried doing it anyway. Have a look.

“Not bad, but PUFFY. You need to revise for length. Formula: 2nd Draft = 1st Draft – 10%. Good luck.”

This was the advice that Stephen King got from his editor in high school. He remembers the advice but does’t give the name of the editor? Hmm.

This is exactly what we were to do the second week of the workshop: lose ten percent of our puffiness. At first I’d thought it would be hard but it wasn’t really: I just had to remove 30 words since originally I had 300.

I also spotted one -s missing for the third person, I switched something around, lost some fluff and liked it much better already. As the last one I removed an important word in the last sentence, but I think it carries a better punch this way.

The advice stands then. Just too bad that we are not given the name of the editor. I like to go straight to the source.

Here is my second draft for this week. For the original puffiness go to week 1.

Clip cloppity clop

I am lulled to sleep by Father clicking away next door. It’s his work, he is a journalist. The world lives in the breath between clip and clop and everything is possible. It’s the seventies.

I’m in primary school and already on a deadline. Father’s old typewriter is on my desk. Clip cloppity clop. I type just to make myself heard, over the noise of Duran Duran. It’s the eighties.

Twenty pages on classical music, the teacher said. It’s the last day. I like to… what’s the word… oh yes, procrastinate.

I ask Father for some paper. Not many sheets left.

We count twenty.

No room for mistakes then.

I have a general idea and books lying around with bits of paper indicating useful passages.

I do not measure even once. I do not start and hope for the best. I start, knowing: this will be the best cut. It’s the only option.

I’m in high school, but for our household a computer is still many years removed. One class is called Typewriting and we type on ancient machines. Clip cloppity clop. All fingers do the former work of two. It’s 1984.

The novelty hits me on the head with its simplicity. Right, so now I can move paragraphs around! I can always insert a thought later, and print it out only once everything is perfect! It’s the nineties, and I discover my first word processor.

Typing as fast as I’m thinking, clip clippity clip, on my slick and only slightly noisy keyboard, I’m grateful for the lesson. It’s now, and I know the perfect cut.

    1. Hi, Equinoxio! It’s calming down, they say. Around here it’s been really quiet, but I’m in the countryside and we are a couple of stay-at-homes as it is. And in the cities they sing from the balconies. Nature is happy too. Have you seen the state of Venice canals? Fish are visible… All good to you!

  1. Can’t spot the 30 missing words and it does seem nicely compact now. I was glad to see my fave line still there 😊 Interesting anyway to hear this advice since that’s how I always write: first a long free flow, the I shorten it and take out unnecessary words. Like you said, it can deliver punch. What do I do next, hmm, I sleep on it and have a look with refreshed eyes and read it aloud. I wonder if that’s your next assignment!

    1. Thanks, SMSW. I wonder too what is coming. 🙂 They are promising a fun task. Refreshed eyes the next day certainly help me as well. But now I’ve been watching this story with fresh eyes for two weeks. All well to you. I shall post a Letter from the quarantine later today.

  2. Wonderful job, Manja! It is the little things: “I start and know it: this will be the best cut. There is no other way.” became “I start, knowing: this will be the best cut. It’s the only option.” The revised phrasing feels stronger than the original. If you read them out loud, you can hear the difference.

    Sorry it took me so long to read this. Our kitty had been in intensive care a few weeks ago and ended up having a huge surgery this week. He just came home yesterday. Amid global pandemic, it has been a little overwhelming.

    That said, I have tomorrow’s challenge ready and can’t wait to see what you do with it. It is short and easy, but interesting and effective.

  3. I love the gradual progression of the years, the changes from year to year. I also like how everything seems to tie back to the father typing. The short supply of paper is another measure of time. And a counterpoint to ‘procrastination.’

      1. I would be glad to be quoted, as “voice” is what we come to know here. Cleaned up, it may read better to strangers, but not to those who know your authentic voice.

In His Own Words

“Best facilitator I’ve ever seen.” When you are told that once, you don’t take it too seriously, but you do tell your significant other about it. Yet, when you hear it from CEOs and executives from such organizations as BellSouth and Shell Oil, and again from top executives of non-profit organizations like United Way Worldwide and Junior Achievement, and from mayors of major metropolitan areas, you begin to think, “Well, maybe I’m not too bad at this.”

I certainly thank my creator for blessing me with a passion to make a difference in people’s lives. I also believe I’ve been equipped with strong communication and analytic skills to process information quickly and help people build on one another’s ideas to create new solutions to difficult issues. My clients often praise the dynamic energy I bring to a room, or the combination of warmth, humor and focus that helps keep a group engaged and productive long into the afternoon. But they tell me they hire me back because they feel confident that, with my involvement, they will achieve definitive results.

Where’d You Go, Bernadette

By Maria Semple

Book Blurb

A compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter’s role in an absurd world.

Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she’s a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she’s a disgrace; to design mavens, she’s a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom.

Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette’s intensifying allergy to Seattle – and people in general – has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic.

To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, secret correspondence – creating a compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter’s role in an absurd world.  (Blurb is from Goodreads)

My Review

Bernadette Fox had many idiosyncrasies and was too unbelievable to keep my interest.  When she disappeared, leaving her teenaged daughter and husband without knowledge of her whereabouts, I totally disliked her, never mind that she had tried and failed.  She should have done better.

I know this book has had a lot of rave reviews, but it just fell short for me.  I couldn’t abide Bee’s mother and father raising a child in the mess of the house they called home.  Plants coming up through the floors, mold in abundance, structural issues are unacceptable for a family who had the know-how and the money to do something about it.  Bernadette should have pulled herself together and used her education and resources to correct the major issues.  Elgie, her husband, should have put his foot down instead of escaping by working late and pretty much being an absent parent.  I had many more issues with this book.

On the positive side, I loved Bee.  She did her best in her circumstances, generally more adult than either of her parents.  Then there was Audrey.  At first, I disliked her, but she showed her true colors in the end and they were beautiful.  She saw her own faults for what they were and owned up to them.

If the author intended this book for a younger audience, perhaps 40’s and younger, she probably hit her mark.  My book club read Where’d You Go, Bernadette and all of the ladies agreed it is not meant for the older age group.

This honest review reflects my own thoughts and feelings about the book.

About the Author

Maria Semple is the author of the novels Today Will Be Different (2016), Where’d You Go, Bernadette (2012) and This One is Mine (2008), all published by Little, Brown and Co.  Before writing fiction, she wrote for the TV shows  90210, Mad About You, Arrested Development and others.

Where’d You Go, Bernadette, an international bestseller, has been translated into 30 languages.  It spent over a year on the New York Times bestseller list and made over a dozen year-end best lists.  It was short-listed for the Women’s Prize and received the Alex Award from the American Library Association.  It’s currently being made into a film starring Cate Blanchett, Kristen Wiig and Billy Crudup.  Richard Linklater writes and directs.  The movie is slated to open in 2018.  Today Will Be Different was an instant international bestseller and was featured on the cover of the New York Times book review.  It, too, made over a dozen year-end best lists.  It’s currently in development with Annapurna pictures as a limited TV series with Maria writing and executive producing.

Maria loves to teach.  She’s taught her popular writing workshop at Hugo House and the Cloud Room in Seattle, the Aspen Writers Conference, and Wordstock in Portland.

Maria spent her early years traveling around Europe with her bohemian parents, but that ended abruptly when her father, Lorenzo Semple, Jr., finished a pilot for Batman while living in Torremolinos, Spain. He airmailed it in, they shot it, and the family moved to LA.  After the Batman TV series and feature, Lorenzo went on to write a bunch of movies. Once he was established, the family moved to Aspen, Colorado.  Maria attended boarding school at Choate Rosemary and college at Barnard, where she majored in English.  She moved to LA shortly after graduating Barnard and wrote screenplays which never got made, and TV shows which did.   In 2008 Maria, George Meyer and their little daughter moved to Seattle just because. It was a difficult adjustment for Maria, which became the basis for Where’d You Go, Bernadette. The novel came out in 2012 and became an instant bestseller. (Author Bio from Author’s Website)

  1. I heard about this book so was very interested in your review. Its too bad it seemed to miss the mark for you. But not every book we read can be 5 stars so on the bright side you’ll appreciate the next good book you read hopefully more 😉

  2. Honest reviews are the best reviews. I read this book about a year ago. I tried to like it, and partly succeeded. I liked the quirkiness of it. But just as you mention, I didn’t like Bernadette too much and her selfishness. I read the next book Semple wrote – Today Will Be Different – and was disappointed.

    1. Thanks for your comment, Pam. When I don’ like a book that is supposed to be wonderful, I always wonder if I missed something. I have THIS ONE IS MINE on my shelf but I don’t know if I’ll read it. It would be a real bummer to read two by the same author and not like either.

  3. Um… I couldn’t disagree more. I hope you don’t mind, but my review was a bit different, possibly because I was a Seattle transplant like Bernadette. My first day of work in Seattle, someone whispered about a coworker who “dropped the f-bomb”. Since I came out of software and we were dropping the entire f-word without any euphemisms, this struck me as completely hilarious. So of course I adored Maria Semple’s Bernadette for calling Seattle on that one. And really — what’s not to love about this book? For me, anyway, it echoed my own love/hate relationship with Seattle, with mother/daughter relationships, with the passive/aggressive behavior that Seattle has raised to an art form, with the tree-hugging, granola, birkenstocks with socks, & goats culture, and with the overall loving, accepting, and nurturing the place manages to provide despite itself.

    Problems with this book? Well, yes, I did think the whole escape (no spoilers so I won’t say where) was fairly lame. As a mother, I found it difficult that the daughter was abandoned. And I’m not an architect, so I don’t care whether those references are accurate or just the metaphor that I took them to be. But I am smart, and that’s given me the chance to be around people who are at the genius level by any measurement. And what I particularly love about this book is that Semple gets the very brilliant people right. They still screw up, but they use their intelligence to analyze their emotions, revise their hypotheses, and do it right the next time.

    Yep. I love Seattle, and I love “Where’d You Go, Bernadette“. I’m sorry you didn’t have the same experience, but that’s why reviewing is SO important. Readers really deserve a chance to hear from different perspectives.

    1. Someone suggested that you have to be from Seattle to truly enjoy this book. Maybe that’s true or maybe it’s an age thing or maybe it just wasn’t a book for me. I really appreciate your insight, Barb. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I truly struggled with this book, but found it had enough redeeming qualities to give it three stars. Hugs.

  4. Being from a Seattle suburb, I was attracted to Semple’s 2016 book, Today Will Be Different. It wasn’t my favorite book, but there were many clever, unusual, and funny passages. And she didn’t run away from home. I have no tolerance for mothers who abandon their husbands and children.

    Liked by 1 person

  5. I have also wondered why this book is so popular, given the failings of the parents! I think that some of it is the very intriguing structure of the book including the e-mail correspondence and the virtual assistant. There are probably some “inside jokes” especially for residents of Seattle, about encroaching ivy and the use of on-line or virtual assistance (Alexa? Where are my car keys?)

    Liked by 2 people

    1. Ah, it sounds like you caught some of the satire. Yes, I thought the e-mail correspondence and the virtual assistant were interesting, but they hardly made the book. Bernadette had just too many failings for me.

  6. I recently listened to the audiobook and, for the most part liked it. It had been highly recommended by a friend and I thought it was going to be YA because it came up in a discussion of other YA titles. Funny you mention that it’s for readers under 40. I’m not sure who the target audience is, not YA even though Bee is a MC. I agree with your assessment of some of the quirkiness of Bernadette being hard to embrace. I thoroughly enjoyed the email correspondence between her and the virtual assistant. I thought the book fell apart when Bernadette went missing.

Florham Park, NJ Mini Split AC – 07932 Ductless Heating-Cooling

What is a Ductless AC Mini Split? in Florham Park, NJ 07932
(855) 908-1496

A ductless HVAC mini-split unit is a ductless air conditioner and a heat pump that attaches to a wall in your home without using the ducts. If you are wondering about a ductless air conditioner cost, we can help! It is less invasive than a central air conditioning system. This is preferable to central air conditioning systems sometimes because ducts can be ugly and trap waste. Also, ducts have the potential to leak out the cool air making the air conditioner less efficient. A ductless mini-split air conditioner avoids this.

When is a Ductless AC Mini Split Air Conditioner Beneficial? Florham Park, NJ – (855) 908-1496

Energy Efficiency: Ductless AC mini splits are energy-efficient since they don’t require the installation of ductwork. Unlike regular ducted central air conditioners, they have a high tendency for energy loss.

Improves Indoor Air Quality: Indoor air quality is many times more polluted than the air outside. The pollutants contained indoor contribute to many diseases and respiratory conditions. These systems offer improved indoor air quality and controlled humidity for Washington and Oregon homes.

Multi Zoning: Multi zoned heating and cooling is a way the HVAC installation can be configured where the square footage is divided into targeted space for climate control. Mini splits are specifically designed to accomplish this type of setup providing the flexibility to control the temperature for each zone.

Robocop (2014): Full Comic-Con Panel Footage

by Kenny Hoeschen

GeekTyrant shared this complete footage of the SDCC 2013 panel discussion for the film Robocop. The panel consists of director José Padilha and actors Joel Kinnaman, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish, and Michael Keaton.

In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years – and it’s meant billions for OmniCorp’s bottom line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy – a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit — is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice.

Robocop (2014) enters theaters on February 7, 2014. The film is directed by Jose Padilha and stars Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) as Alex Murphy/Robocop along with Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish, Gary Oldman and Michael Keaton.

Milwaukee is in the midst of a craft brewery boom. Brenner Brewing Company was one of the first microbrewies to help get the ball rolling. Sadly, Brenner Brewing is now the first in the well-populated guild of Milwaukee breweries to close its doors. Owner and Master Brewer Mike Brenner announced on his personal Facebook account Monday that he’s closing the brewery and tasting room. He says this weekend will be Brenner Brewing’s last.

From Brenner’s status:

“While I will still be brewing and selling Brenner Beer (as a gypsy brewer at other people’s breweries), I am being forced to close the brewery and tasting room after this weekend. Come down and celebrate me not ever having to scrub puke out of subway tile again (professionally at least), and try out some of the incredible sour beers we’ve bottled the past few weeks. Hours are Wed 4-10, Fri 4-11, Sa 11-11 & Su 11 until after the last Packer Potluck.”

Brenner Brewing Company opened at 706 S. 5th Street in 2014. The brewery was known for its lighthearted tours, beers with names like Butterfly Farts and Bacon Bomb, labels produced by area artists, and an affinity for local art that Brenner (a former gallery owner) instilled in the space.

Brenner says he’ll continue brewing at other people’s breweries. But if you want to pay one more visit to the brewery before it closes, it appears this weekend will be your last chance. Check back for more details as they become available.
