text: The Bond Buyer — According to The Bond Buyer, declining yields and rising prices on the short end of the municipal yield curve are giving municipal investors pause and reason to seek out attractive alternatives outside the tax-exempt market. “We have been backing away from very short munis for most of 2018,” said John Donaldson, Director of Fixed Income. “The combination of a lack of supply and investor demand for exempt income keeps making those shorter maturities progressively more expensive.” Click to read article

Healing and Deliverance Ministry, Dallas: Marine spiritsSpiritual Warfare Prayers Against Evil Spiritual Marriages from the Demonic Marine Spirits – Kingdom

Isaiah 27:1 “In that day the Lord will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, with His fierce and great and mighty sword, even Leviathan the twisted serpent; and He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.”

Philippians 19:10  “There also God highly exalted him (Christ) and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth…” and Revelation 20:13 “And the Word of God speaks of the “sea as a place that gives up the dead which were in it…”

The word ddragonis the common Hebrew Word for any large sea serpent.  The word refers to Leviathan in Isaiah 27:1 and to Rehab as Egypt in Isaiah 51:9.  Dragan occurs 14 times in the Old Testament and is translated as “sea monster”, “serpent”, or “dragon”.

When and How Did These Marine Spirits Existed?

At one time Lucifer was the ruler of he earth before the creation of man.  He ruled the pre-Adamite world.  He rebelled against God, was thrown from heaven to earth and the earth cursed and covered by frozen water.  Lucifer fell from his exalted position because of pride.  Is. 14:12-17, Luke 10:18, Rev. 12:3, 7-9, Rev 12:12.  One-third of the angels fell also and ended up in the sea – water spirits.

The fallen angels polluted mankind through marrying and pregnant woman (Gen. 6), and introducing sins of fornication, idolatry and homosexuality.  This was a satanic-induced marriage” producing giants through sexual intercourse of women and fallen angels.

God asked Mosed to “Go to Pharaoh in the morning when he goes out to the water and you shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him (ex. 7;15).  The Pharaoh acquired power from the water spirits.  The first ten plagues from God dealt with gods of Egypt – Khnum, the ram god the protector of the source of the Nile and Hapy, the god of the Nile.  God was dealing with water spirits.

Water Spirits causing trouble in marriages?

These spirits are the main cause of over 90% of many marriages broken daily worldwide (especially in America and European continents).

Causes of spiritual husband / wife problems: Marine spirits also known as Aquarius spirits, mermaid spirits, water demons.

These demons are contacted through witchcraft to receive supernatural powers.  The Marine kingdom is established under the sea and its headquarters of Marine kingdom of Satan located beneath India’s sea – the Queen of India’s sea.  The next command resides in the Atlantic Ocean called Queen of the Coast.  These are highly organized and strategized places by high ranking Satanists.

Many high level satanists are psychiatrists and scientists and design or create seductive things such as latest weapons, perfumes, assorted types of cosmetics, flashy cars, certain seductive clothing to seduce and distract men.   They have invented  many play station and other demonic computer games designed to take children away from ever wanting to become a Christian.  Some promote horror movies and demonic articles.  These spirits will enter your house and then into your body.

There are different types of marine spirits:

Nymphs that are a class of mythological entitles also called Naiads and Oceanide.  Naiads are fresh water spirits or aquarius spirits that reside in rivers, streams, brooks, springs, fountains, lakes, ponds, wells and marshes.

Oceanides – reside in the sea and cause more disasters.  These spirits were worshipped by ancient Greeks.  It is believed Naiads are daughters of Zeus or various river or vast family of the Titan Oceanus or Poseidon (Neptune).  they are real spirits or demon princes who take up residential areas.

All mermaid spirits are called mother of the water or ocean also known as Mami Wata or also called Mamba Muntu – located in West, Central and Southern Africa and in Caribbean parts of North and South America.  She is one of the most powerful African spirits or mermaids in Africa.  They manifest in Africa as snakes or Crocodile.  In Africa Voodoo is highly practiced where they consecrated body of pagan priests and priestesses to the water spirits.  Job 28:14; 22-27 job find wisdom and the place of understanding are represented by the sea “deep,” “Abaddon” and “Death”.

In Haiti she is called Mermaid LaSiren which means Siren, which is a sect of spirits that are half bird and woman.

The story of the Little Mermaid was believed to be a myth or just a story but comes from a Roman and Greek paganic god, Poseidon or Neptune honoring the Olympian gods in different forms.  When we watch these shows “Little Mermaid” who is the daughter of the Sea god or Sea Demon Neptune, we are opening our lives to rebellion against God.

The Mermaid Yemaya (Caribbean Mermaid) – is similar to the Mermaid in Haiti but Yemaya is an orisha (goddess) in the Yoruba religion which reflects one of the manifestations of Olodumare (God) in the Yoruba spiritual or religious system.  She moves in a constant wave-like movement and is surrounded by lesser mermaids, mermen, fish and other marine life.

As these spirits are considered to be Leviathan, job refers in the last days will destroy Leviathan who lives in the sea.

There are castles under the sea.  This is not hidden to the people of Africa. Many african wizards and witches have given testimonies concerning the city under the sea.  it is a supernatural place that is located under the sea off the coast of Ghana and extends to the Bermuda Triangle off the coast of Bermuda.  This is an area where hurricanes are developed.  This city is the most spectacular habitation in the world.

In Revelations 12:12 it says “woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea!”  That mans spiritual beings living in the lands and the sea.  They are the workers of Satan’s kingdom.

This is a place of training for his agents to steal the souls of men, women and children.  Satan is documenting everything about people on the earth in his “Book of the Dead” where every evil deed committed by people on earth is recorded.  These records are kept so that demons can legally enslave and control the people around the globe.  He will use these records before the throne of God.  He has bewitched Christians from being able to see these Scriptures listed above.  It says the Antichrist comes out of the sea.  Sea means masses or nations of people.  Rev. 13:1.  The beast is the end-time Antichrist.  he is the demon-prince presently locked up in the “abyss” He is a mortal man who receives power from the dragon in the end-times.

Leviathan is a frightening monster of the seas in Job 41.  He is called “King of the Sea”!  This city under the sea is a place to train people to become wizards and learn strategies to deceive people by bewitching the backslidden people in the Christian churches.

In this city under the sea they are also trained to learn how to shape-shift into werewolf.  Only the highest levels of witchcraft are able to do this.  They also shape-sift into other forms of animals and snakes.  Many tv shows depict shape-shifting such as Rosewell and Werewolf, Buffy, the Vampire Slayer,” “Teen  Wolf”, etc.

There are many children in the city under the sea.  These children belong to witchcraft families.  Some of these children were street children captured by Satan’s agents to turn them into witches and wizards.  These children are picked up by queens of covens and king wizards.  These children are fed potions of human flesh and human blood.  Once taken to the city under the sea, they go through initiation rites involving chanting and bathing in blood.  The human blood is used to appease the demi-gods.  These children are trained to steal souls and to destroy churches.

Many of these children sell/give seashells to the tourists.  There are demonis attached themselves to these shells.  It is a way for Satan can use powers through the shells as a point of contact to destroy their homes. These attached spirits will begin to torment you with sexual dreams or yard will be filled with frogs.  These children have snake spirits in their stomachs and these spirits are the medium of their evil assignments.

Who else visits the city under the sea?

Many big businessman, doctors, lawyers and politicians come including Indians, Asians and Americans.  These are people who have sold their souls for position and power – greed and demon possession.  They want to sit on the seats of thrones of world as tycoons, barons and kings.

Under the city under the sea, many things manufactured to lure people such as money, fashions, perversions, pornography tattoos and piercing with rings.  There are telescopes, televisions but the televisions are supernatural for them agents to watch a person and follow the movement of Christians and track the plans of churches that they are assigned to defeat.  The curse of the law shown in the Bible will follow a person and their generational lines.  Each person under the sea has a master demon or supervisor to ask questions.

  • The satanic agents could use their power to cause death, sickness and discouragement to break up marriages.
  • Pantheon of the god s and goddesses of Egypt – Bast, the cat goddess – the goddess of pleasure.
  • Isis is known to use powers to heal humankind.
  • Ma’at, the goddess of law, truth and justice
  • Ibis-headed Throth is the god of the moon
  • Jezebel – the territorial goddess that captures the hearts of men and turns them away from theri faith to draw them to Baal.
  • Mammon – the spirit of gold.  He is the spirit behind the money of the world.  He is in charge of Satan’s storehouse of money.
  • Zeus – is the god of wars.
  • Seth the god of chaotic forces.

What opens the door to marine spirits?:

1 Through Sexual sins (outside of marriage, pornography, cyber sex – masturbation).

2. Through Sexual abuse (rape, molestation, etc.)

  1. Through things thrown into the river (sacrifices).
  2. Through wrong dedications by someone or behalf of someone.

  3. Through sharing of personal effects with possessed persons. Especially unrepeated persons. e.g. practicing prostitutes, (Homosexuals: gay / lesbian persons ), incest and bestiality practicing persons, etc..

  4. Through initiations and blind initiations (1 Cor.15: 32).

Marine Spirits: Many women suffer from astral sex regularly. Astral sex is the ability to project one’s spirit man into the victim’s body and have intercourse with it – demonic sex. This practice is very common among Satanists. They leave their physical bodies in a dormant state while they project their spirits into the body of whoever they want to have sex with.  Dealing with spirit wives and spirit husbands (incubus and succubus).

Pray these prayers to break Marine Spirits when you notice any of the following:

Father God, I repent and renounce in my life and generations before me that participated with spirit husband/wife.  I ask for your forgiveness and pray for the following to be broken.

Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, we break and command Spirit husband/spirit wife, release me by fire, in Jesus name and I divorce you by the blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  I command these spirit wife/spirit husband to die in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth by the fire of God.

Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, that every evil power working against my marriage will fall, melt be broken and remove itself away from my marriage.

Father God, in the name of Jesus christ of Nazareth, I repent and renounce all covenants with spirit husband or wife and I break every covenant made with them and burn to ashes the wedding gown, ring, photographs and all other materials used for marriage with these spirits.

Father God I repent and renounce my marriage certificate made with spirit wifes/spirit husbands and by the power of the Holy Spirit and fire of God burn all materials used for this marriage.

Father God, I repent and renounce for my soul-tie covenant with these spirits and I break every soul tie with the sword of the spirit of the Lord.  I am out of bondage to these spirits .

Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I withdraw my blood, sperm or any other bodily fluids  intermingled or put on the altar.  Forgive me Lord for allowing these spirits to penetrate my body and mingle bodily fluids with them.

Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I tell these spirit husband/spirit wife tormenting my earthly marriage to stop and cease and I bind these spirits up with hot chains and fetters and send them to the dry places and that you cannot ever return to my life. I call forth protection of the Lord as a wall of fire so that these spirits burn up if they come near me and burn every unclean thing still attached to me.  I also call the blood of Jesus to cleanse me with His Blood.

Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I break the head of the serpent snake (kundalini), deposited into my body by the spirit husband or wife to do me harm, and command it to come out, in the name of Jesus.

Father God, you are the restorer of all things and I petition and pray the curse to be broken and that every damage done to my marriage with complete restoration to my earthly marriage.  I also cancel every curse, spell, jinx, enchantment and incantation placed on me by these spirits.  By the power and authority of Jesus Christ, I renounce and cancel the name given to me in the demonic realm.

I thank the Lord for His Blood that cleanses me and that the Lord is my Husband for eternity in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

I thank the Lord for Him setting me free from the strongholds, the spirit of jealousy over my earthly husband and break all bondage of these husband/wife spirits, in the name of Jesus christ of Nazareth.

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, that every umbilical gate over me and all negative parental spirits to be broken in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  I also command every demonic spirit husband/wife spirit to get off all my reproductive organs.  I erase the engraving of my name on any evil marriage record, in the name of Jesus.

I thank you Lord that I am now free from these spirit husband/wife spirits and that I am now under the authority and control of the Holy Spirit of God and that every programming against me to the cellular level of my body, dismantled and blotted out by the blood of Jesus.  I declare and decree my earthly marriage restored and set free from all demonic spirit wife/husband.

Bus Fumes a Threat to Children’s Health

September 27, 2010

Today we have a guest blog by Ashley Collins, Environmental Health Manager, Respiratory Health Association of Metropolitan Chicago

Did you ever think the school bus your children may be riding is a serious threat to their health?  In Illinois, there are more than 18,000 buses that transport over 2 million school children to and from school every day.  While riding on a school bus is generally a safe way a student can travel to school, diesel exhaust from school buses can pose a significant health threat to school children, drivers and school staff.  The exhaust from diesel buses contains over 40 toxic air contaminants, carcinogens, ozone smog-forming compounds, and fine particulate matter (“soot”).  Exposure to fine particles is known to cause asthma attacks, heart attacks, lung cancer, strokes, and even premature deaths.

In recent years, several studies [pdf] have indicated that the pollution emitted from diesel school buses can pose a grave threat to school children, bus drivers and school staff. These studies have found that soot levels inside a school bus can be ten times higher than the outside air, increasing children's and staff's exposure to harmful pollutants.

Children at Risk
Although diesel exhaust is unhealthy for everyone, children are particularly vulnerable to diesel pollution because their lungs are still developing.  In addition, children breathe 50 percent more air per pound of body weight than adults do.

The effects of diesel pollution are particularly harmful for people who have lung disease, such as children who have asthma. Asthma is the number one cause of missed school days due to a chronic illness among children.  As such, exposure to diesel exhaust has been identified as a major environmental health risk for children.

What is being done?
Today, the federal government requires all newly-manufactured school diesel buses (models 2007 and later) to be equipped with pollution controls called diesel particulate filters, which can eliminate up to 90 percent of diesel soot from a tailpipe. These same pollution controls are commercially available and should be installed on older dirty diesel school buses as well.

Free funding available to clean up dirty buses!
Here in Illinois, our state EPA has made available $1 million in funding to help school districts clean up their dirty diesel buses with advanced pollution controls. Funding is currently available for school districts that are located in the counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, Will and portions of Kendall and Grundy that own their bus fleets.  There are no match requirements with this funding.

If you are in one of those areas, don’t miss out on this opportunity to clean up your buses! For more details about this funding source and an application, visit www.illinoisgreenfleets.org and click on “Illinois Clean Diesel Grant Program.”  Or contact Ashley Collins, Environmental Health Manager, RHAMC directly at acollins@lungchicago.org or 312-628-0202.

We’d love to hear about other efforts to tackle this problem around the country. What’s going on in your area?

Death Grips – On GP (Music Video)

I’ll start this with a necessary preface (and accompanying admission): I’ve never really been all that invested in Death Grips’ music. At their very best, I viewed them with reserved admiration. I’d crack wise about how I just assumed every site that I was unable to access due to a 404 error was probably just a re-direct to Death Grips’ official website. I grew frustrated with some of their more questionable antics. Now, the trio’s gone ahead and released one of the most jaw-dropping songs of their career. Eschewing their characteristically frenetic tendencies for an aim that’s more direct than they’ve ever been, “On GP” finds them reaching unthinkable heights.

Zach Hill finally gets a proper showcase for his enviable talents behind the kit, MC Ride (Stefan Burnett) goes off on what might be the finest lyric copy of his impressive career, post-punk guitars surge out of the speakers and the rest of the music, which comes off as a hyper-adrenalized version of Fucked Up colliding with early Iceage, follows suit. It’s split apart like a miniature suite, with the aggressively taut sections ceding to sporadic ambient instrumentals- courtesy of producer Andy Morin, in what’s his best contribution to Death Grips to date- that lend the proceedings an air of occasional (admittedly eerie) calm before the bands resumes their normative delirious wrecking crew state.  Lyrically, it’s an incisive self-examination that’s unafraid of peering outwards. On the song’s most charged moment, Ride tackles his inner demons in what may go down as 2015’s most striking verse, ending it with a wry “It’s been a pleasure, Stefan.” By the time “On GP” cuts itself off abruptly, it’s landed an impressive array of blows, each furious volley more punishing than the last.

“On GP” is a part of the long-gestating The Powers That B double album, with the second half- Jenny Death (of which “On GP” is included)- due out next week. It’s purportedly the last record that anyone will ever be hearing from the group and if “On GP” is any indication, Death Grips are going out as defiant- and as pissed off- as possible.

Watch the video for “On GP’, which is nothing more than a static frame shot of the band in the echo chamber of Sunset Sound Recorders’ Studio 1, below.

Toby Reif – 2014 (EP Stream)

Photograph by Matthew Gilbertson

One of the best benefits of running a site is that it opens up the floodgates to great new music via unsolicited submissions. A few personal favorites have fought their way through that weird, uncharted territory that would otherwise have slipped by, potentially unnoticed. From Mulligrub to Spit to Space Mountain, it’s allowed the unearthing of a jaw-dropping assortment of treasures. Add Toby Reif’s vicious EP, 2014, to that list immediately. 2014 is a towering achievement that unleashes itself on the listener from the outset, courtesy of “Bug”, a snarling track that’s  instrumental save for the layered ambient vocal samples towards the close. Equal parts post-punk and shoegaze, it falls into a territory not too far removed from the majority of Happy Diving’s excellent Big World.

“Skullkid”, 2014‘s ensuing track, flips the emphasis over to the (heavily distorted) vocals, which lash out of the speakers and make exacting cuts with no remorse. Once again, it’s a viscerally punishing track that sounds absolutely massive without bothering to cater to anything except for Reif’s formidable creative drive. Everything closes with the slow-burning “Going For A Walk And Then A Run At Night When I Should Be Sleeping”, which starts off on a delicate ambient tone before blooming into something much stranger. It’s a fitting end-cap to a genuinely great EP that should, if not anything else, establish Reif as an artistic force. Here’s hoping 2014 and Reif both find the audiences they deserve.

Listen to 2014 below.

MOURN – Otitis (Stream)

Yesterday this site’s coverage was exclusively dedicated to the premiere of Mutts’ incredible “Black Ties & Diamonds“, ensuring that there’d be quite a bit of material to catch up on today. There weren’t a lot of full streams to emerge but the ones that did made it count. Among them: Cloakroom‘s incredible new 7″, Michael Rault‘s sprightly psych-pop cassingle, Cross Wires’ spiky Your History Defaced EP, and Trust Punks’ snarling post-punk ripper Discipline. Each of those are good enough to have a shot at appearing in a few year-end lists and enhance each respective artist’s profile considerably.

In single stream territory, things got relentless with no less than 11 great songs fighting their way out into the world. These included another look at Cellphone‘s upcoming Excellent Condition with the blistering “No Wind In Hell“, Quarterbacks‘ completely revitalized full-band version of Quarterboy highlight “Center“, A Place To Bury Strangers’ unrelentingly aggressive industrial post-punk bruiser “Straight“, and Seagulls’ airy left-field pop number “You & Me”. Colleen Green teased the upcoming I Want To Grow Up with a career-best in the form of “Pay Attention“, Soft Fangs revealed the quietly mesmerizing “Dead Friends“, Elvis Perkins made an unexpected return with the lightly damaged pscyh-folk of “Hogus Pogus” in advance of the upcoming I Aubade, and Leapling celebrated their teaming with Exploding in Sound via the compelling bizzaro pop of “Crooked“. American Wrestlers teased their upcoming 7″ with the driving lo-fi psych-pop of “I Can Do No Wrong“, Noveller revealed the characteristically beautiful “Into The Dunes“, and Two Gallants unleashed a preview of their upcoming We Are Undone with the vicious title track.

Music videos were just as eventful thanks to efforts like Desperate Journalist‘s strikingly minimal clip for their arresting “Control“, an absolutely gorgeous turn-in for Blonde Redhead‘s “The One I Love“, and Belle & Sebastian’s playful nostalgia in the black-and-white-turned-multicolor “The Party Line“. Elvis Depressedly celebrated their Run For Cover Records signing with the endearingly weird video for “No More Sad Songs“, Dizzee Rascal continued his unlikely hot streak with the visual medium in the  supernatural-tinged kung fu revenge tale contained in “Pagans“, and Hey Elbow conducted an unnerving psychedelic visual collage experiment for “Martin“. Viet Cong created an intensely disquieting clip to serve as an accompaniment for their excellent “Continental Shelf“, TOONS went the simple-and-charming route with “Sittin’ Back“, and Angel Olsen deliver the absurdly stunning Rick Alverson-directed “Windows” (which featured startlingly gorgeous cinematography) to round things out in a manner so stunning that it very nearly earned today’s feature spot.

Enter: MOURN. The young band recently became one of Captured Tracks’ most exciting acquisition since site favorites Perfect Pussy. Immediately standing out thanks to their surprisingly young age(s), MOURN seems to have caught just about everyone off-guard thanks to the enviable strengths of their songs. None of those songs landed with as fierce of an impact as their barn-burning “Otitis”. Unfailingly bleak and deeply impassioned, “Otitis” never goes for anything but a merciless kill. All of this played into why the song was previously featured on this site in the 53rd installment of Watch This, where the song grew even sharper fangs. MOURN has been available digitally for some time and comfortably stands as one of 2014’s most exhilarating releases with “Otitis” being its definitive exclamation point. From the wiry verse progressions, to the cavalcade of sharp hooks, to the intuitive harmony work, to the intimidatingly dark chorus, “Otitis” has put MOURN firmly on the map. All of the excitement rests in watching where they go from here.

Listen to “Otitis” below and pre-order MOURN from Captured Tracks here.

Mutts – Black Ties & Diamonds (Song Premiere)

Chicago trio Mutts have been steadily building a deeply impressive resume for over five years. Each time the band steps up to the plate, they improve on their previous best- leaving 2013’s extraordinary (acoustic-based) Object Permanence as their current high-water mark. As unlikely as it seems considering Object Permanence‘s unfailing grace, the record they’re about to release- Fuel Yer Delusion vol. 4– may surpass it to take up the mantle of career-best. “Everyone Is Everyone” kicked off the pre-release roll-out for Fuel Yer Delusion vol. 4 in exhilarating fashion with bandleader Mike Maimone passionately dismantling the politics of negative slurs- a stance that takes on a much more personal meaning considering Maimone spent the last few records grappling with the anxieties and emotional releases that accompanied his decision to come out.

“Black Ties & Diamonds” may not be as fiery as its predecessor but it’s just as- if not more- immediately gripping. Easily the band’s most atmospheric moment to date, “Black Ties & Diamonds” is as fire-and-brimstone as it is smoky haze, a classically noir-ish retreat down a murky riverbank. It’s an entirely new look for Mutts and one that suits them so naturally that it’s easy to forget their standard mode is blistering blues-infused noise-punk. As always, Maimone’s lyrics and keyboard work are just as sharp as Mutts’ rhythm section (which is made up of drummer Chris Pagnani and bassist Bob Buckstaff, respectively)- adding to their easily posited claim as one of the tightest units in the upper Midwest.

In lyric copy, “Black Ties & Diamonds” becomes a total deconstruction of a myriad of events, eventually revealing itself as a collection of vignettes that illustrate the trials of life’s overwhelmingly mundane nature. There’s a melancholic nature permeating throughout the track, accentuated by organ stabs, mood-heavy drumming, and frighteningly intuitive bass work. Musically, this veers far closer to the realms of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds than the usually inevitable Tom Waits comparison the band’s so frequently earned in the past. It’s a complete anomaly in the band’s catalog; a minor headphones track in a sea of turned-to-11 explosives.

Production-wise, “Black Ties & Diamonds is the best Mutts have ever sounded electric- something that holds true for the rest of Fuel Yer Delusion vol. 4. This is a record that’s layered, sequenced, and mastered to perfection, with “Black Ties & Diamonds” standing out as the definitive track. Mutts aren’t done experimenting, moving forward, challenging themselves, or progressing. Not by a damn sight. “Black Ties & Diamonds” cements this as inexorable proof in stunning fashion, playing directly into the commendable ethics of one of America’s hardest-working bands. Don’t be too surprised to see their name starting to fight its way into regular conversation- and don’t make the mistake of ignoring something as subtly haunting as “Black Ties & Diamonds”.

Mutts will be throwing an LP release party for Fuel Yer Delusion vol. 4 which will be presented by Gapers Block and feature additional performances from Archie Powell & the ExportsThe Kickback, and Pop Goes The Evil. This will take place on December 6 at The Metro. 8 pm. $12 at the door and $8 in advance. Don’t make the mistake of missing this one.

Stream “Black Ties & Diamonds” below and make sure to pick up Fuel Yer Delusion vol. 4 as soon as possible.

Toby Coke – Face Taker (Stream)

Over the past few days, the truly great single song offerings have been fairly scant. Sure, there was another career-high effort from Crying and another outstanding entry in Art Is Hard’s Pizza Club series- but apart from the monstrous Two Inch Astronaut slow-burner (more to come on that in a short while), the well seemed to have been fairly tapped. Enter: Toby Coke. Back in December, this site ran a “Best Of” that included some extremely low-key releases, like the solo venture from The Frankl Project drummer (and occasional vocalist) Joseph Frankl. That solo venture, BREAKERS, was seeped in impact-heavy shoegaze that proved tantalizing enough to stand out from a lot of other artists operating in that genre.

Now, Frankl’s changed guises and switched over to Toby Coke, an equally promising project. “Face Taker” is the first look at the new project and it’s a masterfully composed stunner. Written about the extremely controversial Monsanto corporation, it also immediately aligns Toby Coke’s politics with other commendably active, difference-making artists. “Face Taker” itself is a lo-fi, mid-tempo, shoegaze-leaning post-punk gut-punch. Intensely melodic and completely unapologetic in its viciousness, there isn’t a moment that goes by without a noteworthy hook or a clever turn of phrase. It’s too impossibly great to ignore and ranks among the year’s best songs; a gut-punch thrown from the ether. Don’t let it pass by without the attention it deserves.

Listen to “Face Taker” below and purchase it at bandcamp, with all proceeds going to The Edible Schoolyard Project.

LVL UP at Beat Kitchen – 10/12/14 (Pictorial Review, Video)

Over the past few months, this site has given plenty of coverage to both LVL UP and the label two of its members founded (and run), Double Double Whammy. Included in the ranks of the Double Double Whammy roster was another artist who’s emerged as a site favorite: Mitski. When the two announced they’d be touring together (and, subsequently that LVL UP would be backing Mitski), being in attendance for the nearest show was a foregone conclusion. On October 12, their tour made its way to Chicago’s Beat Kitchen where they headlined a bill that also included local acts Mtvghosts and Staring Problem.

Mtvghosts kicked things off after narrowly avoiding being no-shows and made their way through an energetic set of Strokes-influenced powerpop (not too dissimilar from Locksley). Now a few releases into their career, they made their way through a high energy set and played off each other nicely. Utilizing an abundance of energy and a clear connection, their set succeeded on pure entertainment value- Staring Problem‘s Lauren Owen would later make an amusing remark on the vocalist’s “Paul McCartney head thing”. While it’s clear Mtvghosts have a very firm grasp on composition and how to write a good pop song, not too much of it had any kind of longevity- although there’s enough talent in the band to suggest that point may not be too far down the line.

After Mtvghosts unabashedly pop concoctions, Staring Problem dove headlong into a set of primal post-punk that was tinged with early goth-punk influences. With songs that felt deadly serious and had pulsating undercurrents of the overwhelmingly bleak, they managed to sink into a groove that left most of the audience in a hypnotic trance. Mtvghosts may have had Staring Problem beat in terms of stage presence but Staring Problem’s songs proved to be immensely gripping, if unrelentingly minimal (their drummer’s kit was bare-bones and the only cymbal it made room for was a hi-hat). Impressive bass riffs dueled with intuitive guitarwork and Owens’ tranced-out vocals. Even with an emphasis on the grave, the band found room for humor; a song called “Pictures of Morrissey In Jake’s Locker” wound up being an unexpected highlight. By the time they exited, it was difficult to imagine they hadn’t made a few converts.

Mitski‘s been making quite a name for herself lately. After two very strong records of avant pop, the songwriter’s made a sharp left turn into blissed-out noise pop. With the distortion cranked up on the extraordinary soon-to-be-released Bury Me At Makeout Creek it’s afforded Mitski the chance to reignite an already impressive career. “Townie“, “First Love/Late Spring“, and “I Don’t Smoke” all showcase layers of a seriously enviable talent in composition and musicianship (as well as some gorgeous- and expansive- production), which shouldn’t be surprising taking into account Mitski’s SUNY Purchase background. Incidentally, SUNY Purchase was where Mitski would meet the members of LVL UP and forge a connection that would have direct implications for both artist’s respective careers.

Taking into account the high-functioning levels of production that provide Bury Me At Makeout Creek part of its character, a large portion of the pre-set anticipation lay in how Mitski would bring these songs to life with the assistance of LVL UP. Less than a minute into “Townie” any doubts that the songs would lose even a fraction of their appeal were absolutely annihilated. Aided by Michael Caridi on guitar and LVL UP bassist Nick Corbo on drums, Mitski lay into the song with a startling amount of intensity, causing the audience to erupt in bewildered applause by the song’s close.

All it took was that first song for Mitski to expand and win over an entire audience, which raises the stakes considerably on the expected reaction to Bury Me At Makeout Creek once it’s out in the world. Caridi and Corbo both flashed extremely impressive chops as Mitski commanded attention with the kind of effortlessness that suggests much bigger things will be happening for the emerging artist in the very near future. When Mitski’s set closed with Mitski absolutely shredding her vocal cords in bouts of guttural screaming at the end of “Drunk Walk Home”, half the audience seemed to be left speechless- and it was difficult to fault them- Mitski had delivered the kind of set that warrants the highest kinds of praise and ensures that even more people will be drawn into her orbit.

After Mitski’s set, it wouldn’t have been too surprising to see someone leaving thinking they’d seen the headliner- but it wasn’t before long that LVL UP proved that they were up to the task of following a gift of a set with another exercise in killer performances. Having already delivered one of the year’s best records in Hoodwink’d and one of the year’s best songs, “Big Snow“, on an absolutely essential split, their live set had quite a bit to live up to. Boasting a discography that’s bursting at the seams with songs that project a casual confidence and an excess of charisma, LVL UP’s very nature is practically defined by their willingness to embrace each the unique personality of each principal songwriter (Caridi, Corbo, and Trace Mountains‘ Dave Benton).

Soft Power“, “Ski Vacation“, “DBTS“, and “I Feel Ok” all hinted at LVL UP excelling as a complementary unit that would easily function when stripped back to individual elements. Balancing on the precipice between detached apathy and unbridled energy, the band’s songs came to weird, vibrant life in the live setting. Everyone traded off vocals with a casually practiced ease and a fiery commitment. True to Space Brothers‘ form, several of the songs bled into each other- with a particular highlight (one of a very large handful) being the opening trio of tracks from that very record. In fact, much of their set played out like a contained suite, with everything retaining maximum impact.

There was more than one point through LVL UP’s set where time seemed to be completely lost, as the band kept the audience engaged while they occupied their own world. Song after song, they demonstrated just about every reason why they’re a band worth celebrating- only emphatically enhancing the live elements of that particular spread. Solos were traded, select songs were extended with surprisingly heavy bridges and outros, and- more than anything else- left-field personality was exuded. Hoodwink’d and Space Brothers were about evenly split throughout the set, and both songs from the band’s incredible split with Porches. were represented as well.

While Corbo, Caridi, and Benton all shared a fair amount of spotlight, drummer Greg Rutkin held everything down with brute force and an unfailingly exact precision that made songs like the closing “ELIXR (19)” sound absolutely massive. Just like on record, everything managed to complement everything else in a manner that made all of LVL UP’s songs feel intensely alive. Before their set, each member had voiced various concerns about their headlining slot and thanks for Beat Kitchen’s kind accommodations (including sound, which was pristine throughout the show). When “ELIXR (19)” drew the set to a powerful close, it provided an exclamation point to a stunning set that coursed past their early apprehensions into the realms of the sublime. If there was any reservation about this before, their set ensured one thing: 2014 is LVL UP’s year. Get on board before it’s too late.

Washer – Rot (Stream)

Exploding in Sound has been earning a lot of words here lately and that’s not a huge coincidence; they specialize in the exact intersection that this place was built to support. DIY aesthetics, basement pop, basement punk, off-kilter weirdness, impressive compositions, and (largely immediate) music that warrants both intellectual and visceral responses. Nearly everything the label’s put out in the past few months could justifiably earn year-end consideration. It’s a jaw-dropping tun of releases that seems set to continue with the upcoming split 7″ between site favorites Big Ups and wiry New York post-punks Washer.

Bigs Ups already unleashed the pulverizing “Rash“, a song that was aggressive even by their standards, proving the world its first glimpse at the split. Now, Washer is allowing a preview of their side with “Rot”, a characteristically jittery piece of gnashed-teeth post-punk. Fierce drumming combines with a guitar line that’s almost entirely clean to create an arresting sonic palette while the vocal melody ensures multiple returns. It’s bold, it’s weird, and it hits an elusive sweet spot in feeling familiar without sounding much like anything else out there (Even Hand and Bent Shapes were the first two bands to come to mind- and that’s a fairly diverse selection). Striking a perfect balance between being uncompromisingly ragged and relentlessly precise, it’s another strong example of Exploding in Sound’s penchant for bands that aren’t afraid to challenge themselves or their listeners- and that’s something worth celebrating.

Listen to “Rot” below and pre-order the split from Exploding in Sound here.

Ty Segall – The Singer (Music Video)

Ty Segall’s Manipulator is one of the year’s grandest rock n’ roll records. Massive in scope and sprawling in length, it avoided becoming an exercise in excess thanks to how absurdly grounded most of the songs on Manipulator wound up being. Easily the most readily accessible and wide-reaching record of Segall’s ridiculously prolific career, it felt like a well-deserved bow; the underground’s wunderkind earning a huge moment after years of tireless work and dedication. Impressively, it happened without Segall compromising his identity, his ideologies, or his defining characteristics. “The Singer” was one of more than a dozen standout cuts on Manipulator and the first to boast an incredible one-shot video as an accompaniment.

Segall isn’t new to one-shot clips, either- the video for the title cut off of Goodbye Bread remains a world-stopping piece of art. It’s fitting then, that he would abandon that visual hallmark up until Manipulator, a record that feels more like Goodbye Bread‘s natural successor than any of the ensuing entries in his discography. Not too surprisingly, Matt Yoka directed both clips and infused them with an eye that’s keenly tuned in to a very specific style of art that’s perfectly suited to Segall’s own creative vision (the mundane meets the gloss, neither wins). While “Goodbye Bread” undoubtedly offered more visual stimuli, the details of “The Singer” are worth stopping to appreciate. For one, nearly all of the colors in the static frame are muted- with two small instances of white acting as a double-frame for Segall. Even the members of his band are rendered as ghostly projections, giving some weight to the fact that Manipulator seems to be Segall’s true star-making moment.

It’s that self-awareness that likely caused Yoka to cast Segall in vibrant colors- it’s also Segall’s commitment to a scuzzy, almost feral, take on punk that likely led Yoka to cheekily place him just slightly off of center. If the color palette and framing devices alone didn’t make this a remarkably entertaining viewing experience, then Segall’s various (almost puppeteered) animations push it way over the top. “The Singer” already had catharsis in spades, with its sweeping string section providing a surprisingly strong undercurrent of raw emotion- but even that winds up being sharply accentuated with the video’s climactic ascension. All told, it’s a deceptively well-crafted piece of minimalism that’s deeply felt and carries an easy resonance; a great song turned classic by the perfect video. It’s Ty Segall’s world for the taking and if this is the kind of thing he’s going to gift it with, we should all consider ourselves lucky.

Watch “The Singer” below” and pick up Manipulator from Drag City here.

Ovlov – Ohmu Shell (Stream)

A steady stream of streams flooded most of today’s music news and several of them wound up making strong impressions. Among them were Girlpool’s jittery “Blah Blah Blah“, Bad Power’s hardcore ripper “Jawws“, and Cellphone‘s Halloween-friendly post-punk nightmare “Human Rights“. Nothing continued to improve in exhilarating fashion, hitting a new high with the damaged beauty of “July The Fourth and YAWN bandleader Adam Gil’s new solo project- Dam Gila- offered up the tantalizing pysch-pop of “History“. Mineral’s vocalist, Chris Simpson, streamed Pink Chalk, the lilting record that’s due out soon from his Zookeeper project. Joel Jerome followed up the excellent Babies On Acid with Psychic Thrift Store Folk, which is now streaming in full over at Wondering Sound- a site that also has the distinct pleasure of hosting a full stream of Night School’s Heart Beat EP (which is easily one of the year’s best).  Then, of course, there was Ovlov‘s newest song- the second to be released from the jaw-dropping four-way split 7″ that also includes Krill, LVL UP, and Radiator Hospital.

All four bands on this split have earned the distinction of site favorites thanks to their punk-leaning strains of outsider pop. This will be the latest in a handful of releases born out of the collaboration between Double Double Whammy and Exploding in Sound, which continues to be one of the most exciting things in music. Krill’s “Peanut Butter” had already been unleashed on the world a few weeks back and kicked the obvious promise of the split up a few additional levels. Ovlov take that level of acceleration and floor it, not only offering up one of the best songs of their career but- impossibly- lending even more promise to the split. “Ohmu Shell” is a song that sounds like an assurance; this is a confident band who are fully aware of their identity (something many strive to achieve and fail to accomplish).  There’s a greater immediacy on display then there was on last year’s excellent am and continues their streak of incredible contributions to splits (Little Big League being the latest, following another four-way split with Ex-Breathers, Gnarwhal, and Woozy)- all from this year.

Every time the band steps up to deliver something new, it seems like they’re continuously improving upon their career-best, which is the kind of trajectory that can speak volumes about a band’s potential. Everything about “Ohmu Shell” works to perfection; the guitars charge as much as they swirl, the vocals manage to be alternately impassioned and apathetic- creating a contrast that injects the song’s explosive moments with an obscene amount of energy. There’s a greater emphasis on a skewed 90’s revivalism that’s deeply rooted in the slacker and outsider sub-genres of punk. Ovlov sounds more alive than ever, wide-eyed, determined, and prepared for anything that dares to come their way. If LVL UP and Radiator Hospital deliver on this level (which they’re both fully capable of, considering both of their full-lengths are locks for this site’s Top 10), this split just might be the best thing to come out of 2014.

Listen to “Ohmu Shell” below and pre-order the split from from Double Double Whammy here.

Meat Wave – Brother (Music Video)

[EDITOR’S NOTE: Apologies for the delay on this post, it was held up pending a confirmation. That confirmation just came through and a regular daily wrap-up of today’s releases will be posted later on in the evening. This post has been edited to reflect its current standing.]

Tuesday was a much quieter today for great new releases than Monday’s mind-boggling output- but the few things that were released managed to hold their ground. Menace Beach’s “Come On Give Up” gave the day a swift kick and got things moving with fuzzed-out basement pop. Happy Diving teased their upcoming full-length Big World with another attention-ensuring track, “Sad Planet“, which provides a glimpse of what’s turning out to be a fairly enviable range (and is one of the year’s better songs). AV Club also contributed to today’s haul with the full stream of the record that’s earned quite a few mentions on this site over the past few weeks: Little Big League’s Tropical Jinx, which emphatically capitalizes on its early promise and is more than good enough to be listened to on a regular basis well into 2015.

Now, admittedly, there’s more than one reason that Meat Wave’s first music video, “Brother”, earned today’s feature spot. Before getting to the auxiliary aspects, two things are worth noting: 1. Meat Wave is a band that’s been on this site’s radar for a long while. 2. “Brother” is one of the more perfect visual representations of a band’s style this year. Those two facts alone would have given it today’s feature spot, with the rest just acting as a sizable bonus. “Brother” is an all-out blitz of a song, reveling in an off-the-rails aggression that’s always guaranteed the band was a serious force to be reckoned with- something the video taps into expertly.

Made up entirely of jagged quick-cuts and stop motion shots, “Brother” is as deliriously frenetic as it is disorienting and ferocious. What makes it stand out is a peculiar sense of humor that the band brings to the clip. It’s also worth mentioning that this is a video for a song that was released two years ago, from a record that’s still holding up impossibly well. With the video providing a reminder that this music is as immediate (and feral) as it’s ever been, Meat Wave’s also managed to bring across a very subtle message in the visual medium: the knives are out and the band’s no longer content to stay still. This is likely part of the reasons as to why the band will be joining site favorites Geronimo! (whose Cheap Trick is one of this year’s best records) on their farewell tour- which is a topic that brings up something else entirely.

Heartbreaking Bravery will be presenting a stop on the tour.

On October 18, both bands will be stopping at a house venue (The Powerstrip) in Stevens Point, WI. Sweetening the deal is the fact that they’ll be joined by Mumblr, a Philadelphia-based band whose recently released Full of Snakes  is full of highlights (“Sober” being one of 2014’s finest songs) and exists in the exact space that this site most frequently celebrates; the perfect marriage of basement punk and basement pop. It’ll be the first of what will hopefully be many forays into live shows (and subsequent documentation). Cameras will be rolling and footage will certainly be appearing at some point in the future. So, stay tuned and try to make it out- this should be a celebration to remember.

Story Recommendation 3/31/2020

My new addition to my website is story, possible stories recommendations. If this is something that you would like to see to continue, post me a comment. Now to the recommendation.

A Single Step by Tufano79

Summary: Isabella Biers had it all. A loving husband, two adorable children and the dream job. One night, however, changed everything. Bella had a spinal stroke, paralyzing her from the waist down. Bella’s husband tried to be there for her, but caring for a wife who was an invalid proved to be too much for him. He divorced his wife, unable to cope with her long recovery.

Despite being abandoned by her husband, Bella was determined to not let her disability define her. She wanted to walk again. Enter her physical therapist, Edward Cullen. With the perfect combination of humor, patience, stubbornness and love, can he help her in her endeavor in walking again? Will he open her heart after it was shattered by the man who vowed to be with her, in sickness and in health?

A snippet from the first chapter.

Sitting in her wheelchair, Isabella Biers watched helplessly as her husband packed his bags. She was confused, angry. It wasn’t her fault that her spine decided to implode; that her doctors told her to deal with the loss of her mobility; that the physical therapy hadn’t worked. “Riley, what about our vows?” she asked, trying to keep the tears out of her voice.

“Bella, I can’t,” Riley grumbled. “I married you, a complete woman. Now? I can’t be what you need me to be. I’m not your nurse.”

“Do you think I like this? Do you think that I planned for my spine to …?” Bella yelled. “I’m working my ass off to walk again!”

“It’s not enough,” Riley answered coldly. “Get a lawyer, Bella. I won’t fight you on anything. You can keep the house … with your medical bills, I’m not certain you’d be able to get a new place. You’ll need it.” He looked down his nose at his wife, hating that it had come to this.

“I hate you, Riley,” Bella sniffled, turning and rolling out of their bedroom. “When I need you the most, you leave.”

“I tried, Bells,” Riley spat, following her out of the bedroom. “I want a wife that can share in our responsibilities. I do not want to wipe your ass.”

Bella let out a scream, grabbing the closest thing to her hand. It was their wedding photo and she whipped it at his retreating form. It barely grazed his shoulder and crashed into the wall, covering the ground with wooden and glass shards. “Get out! I don’t need you. I don’t want you. Now that I know who you truly are, I never want you in my life again! You’ll never see our children again!”

He pursed his lips. “We’ll see, Isabella,” he scoffed, stepping over the mess. With an unsympathetic shake of his head, he opened the door and left.…/tufano…/stories/68478/A-Single-Step…

Upgrading plugins from Liferay DXP 7.0 to 7.1

Liferay Workspace’s Target Platform feature and Upgrade Planner take a lot of manual intervention out of upgrading to Liferay DXP 7.1. Target Platform facilitates updating dependencies to Liferay DXP 7.1, and the Upgrade Planner helps you adapt plugins to Liferay DXP 7.1’s API. This tutorial explains the plugin upgrade steps.

Here are the plugin upgrade steps:

  1. Update your Liferay Workspace to that latest version.

  2. Update your Liferay DXP-related dependencies by setting your Target Platform to the latest version of Liferay DXP 7.1. (Optional)

  3. Update your plugin’s remaining dependencies.

  4. Adapt your code to Liferay DXP 7.1’s API using the Upgrade Planner. The Upgrade Tool shows you where breaking changes affect your code and addresses many of them automatically.

Congratulations! Your upgraded plugin is ready to deploy to Liferay DXP 7.1.

Troubleshooting for the iOS app

If something seems to be going wrong on the app, the first step to try is to close the app completely and then re-open it. To close the app this, double-click the home button, and then swipe up on the Trello app.

If the problem continues after closing and re-opening the app, there are a few things you can try to fix the problem: clearing the cache, logging out of the app and back in, or reinstalling the app.

WARNING: These actions will clear any offline changes you've made to your boards that haven't been synced yet, so make sure to check for unsent changes before proceeding further.

Check for unsent changes first!

If you've made changes to your boards while offline, the troubleshooting steps described further down will prevent these changes from being synced. Fortunately, there are a few different ways to check to see if you have any unsent changes.

1. The easiest method is to go to your account tab. If you have unsent changes, you'll see a warning under the "Log Out" option:

2. You can also check for sync indicators (circular arrows) on boards in the home screen and on cards, like in the screenshot below:

3. Finally, you can go to the Sync Queue in accounts and check to see if it has items in it that aren’t errors (if they're errors, they'll have red text beneath).

What to do if you have unsent changes

If you see any of these indications that you have unsent changes, clearing the cache, logging out and back in, or reinstalling the app will cause you to lose these changes. To prevent this, the best course of action is to get back on a network so that the changes will sync.

If that doesn't work at first, try closing the app completely by tapping on the home screen and swiping up on Trello, and then reopening Trello. If the changes still don't sync after that, check to make sure that the network is working by opening a webpage in your browser.

If you're not able to get on a network, or if the changes don't send for some reason, you can export a list of the changes so that you can redo them later if they're lost. To do this, open the app and go to the Account tab. From there, open the Sync Queue. Tap on the share button to send yourself a text description of the changes.

Troubleshooting after checking for unsent changes

After you've confirmed that you don't have any unsent changes, or after you've exported the Sync Queue as a backup, you can safely continue with the troubleshooting steps below.

Clearing the cache

Sometimes, cached data in the iOS app will cause your iOS device to be out of sync with the web interface.

To clear that, open your phone's Settings app, and scroll down until you see the Trello app listed. Tap on Trello, and then enable “Clear on Launch” on the next screen by tapping the slider next to it.

Next, you'll need to close Trello and relaunch. To do this, first double-tap your home button. You should see all the apps open on your device. Find the Trello window, and slide it up to close it. It will disappear, indicating that it's closed. Then, tap your home button again, and tap the Trello app to reopen it.

Logging out of the app and back in

If clearing the cache doesn’t help, you may want to try logging out of the app and back in. To log out, first open the Trello app and tap on the Account tab from your main home screen (this will be in the bottom right on the iPhone or the top left on the iPad). From here, you can select “Log Out”.

If you've made offline changes that haven't been synced yet, you'll see the following warning when you try to log out:

In this case, try to get back to a network so that your changes will be synced before logging out, so that you don't lose these changes.

Once you’ve logged out, select “Log In” to sign in to Trello again.

Reinstalling the app

If the problem persists, you can also reinstall the app. Tap on the Trello icon on phone’s home screen and hold down until the icons shake and an “X” appears in the corner of each icon. Tap on the “X” for the Trello icon — this will remove the Trello app from your device.

Next, open the app store app on your phone and download Trello again. You’ll need to log in again. If you purchased Trello Gold on your phone previously, you’ll still have access to this once you log in.

If you continue to see the same problem after trying these steps, let us know and our support team will be happy to help!

Whether you are a hobbyist welder or work in welding as a profession, you should always wear the proper safety gear.

Wearing the proper safety gear while welding will prevent burns and eye injuries to you giving you a safer work environment.

One of the most overlooked pieces of safety equipment is arm protection. Trust me, I have felt sparks from another person welding on my arm when I was not even close to the welder and they do burn you even if they land on you for a split second.

Safety is our number one priority so we can continue doing what we love to do; welding! Arm protection is made available in various options, from full welding coats to welding sleeves.

Today we will review welding sleeves which just go on the arms and around part of the chest and then come off with either zippers or snaps.

IRONCAT 7000 Heat Resistant Leather Cape Sleeve Review

The Ironcat 7000 is one of the best welding sleeves you can find around. It is a heat-resistant leather cape sleeve. Just to make sure we are on the same line, it is one of the highest quality welding sleeves available in multiple sizes from medium to 4 extra-large.

The Ironcat 7000 has cowhide leather capes which include soapstone storage pockets with adjustable snaps on the collar and wrist making it more multifunctional. Additional leather makes it reinforced for added safety.

With tanned cape sleeves, this welding cape is designed to provide the best heat resistance during welding projects. This protects the welder from spatter and sparks.

You can use the welding sleeve for multiple uses including shipyards, gas welding, steel mills, torch work, construction, hobbyist welders, manufacturing, and automotive assembly.

It features stitched Kevlar threads that offer heat resistance. You can use this with a safety bib to add extra safety.

There are 11” armholes, 22” neck opening, 26” chest width, 25” sleeve length and 10.5” body length with a large size split leather cape.

Tillman 5218E Heavyweight 18″ Sleeves Review

The 18” sleeves are made from Bourbon brown side split cowhide to give optimum heat resistance while welding.

Each arm sleeve has a 2&1/4” external elastic sleeve on both sides of the sleeve to keep it tight and prevent sliding while working.

Added heat protection is given with the use of sewn Kevlar threads in the sleeves.

You can use the sleeves as a hobbyist welder or for a profession including gas welding.

The Tillman 5218E sleeves are sold as a pair of two and they are a max weight of only one pound!

There are many great reviews about the sleeves as they do the job just as well as some popular more expensive brands. There are some people that state the sleeves get uncomfortable after a lot of use but it does not affect them while they are welding.

Waylander Welding Leather Sleeves Review

The Waylander arm sleeves offer protection for grilling, welding, grinding, woodcutting, and gardening.

Thick leather will protect your arms against heat while working. They will not stop a chainsaw from cutting through the material like chainsaw chaps though. There is an option to get these sleeves with or without a satin interior lining.

There is an adjustable upper arm with elastic to prevent slipping and being uncomfortable while wearing the sleeves. The sleeve dives right into your work gloves.

Split thick cowhide leather offers ultimate arm protection for hobbyist and professional welders.

The hems of the Waylander Welding Sleeves are hemmed and sewn with Kevlar threads. Kevlar adds strength and heat resistance to the sleeves.

Sleeve specifications are a length of 21 inches and circumference of 17 inches. The weights of the sleeves are like other similar sleeves of only 1 pound and are also sold as a pair.

Lincoln Electric Welding Sleeves Review

Lincoln Electric is trusted by industry professionals and has close to a decade of use in the industry.

The welding sleeves provide elastic cuffs to keep spatter out and hold the sleeves in the proper position. They include a flame retardant cotton top to improve comfort and mobility and the leather area provides spatter and heat resistance.

For those wondering; the lower and middle portions of the sleeves are 75% leather while the upper portion is made of the 25% 9-ounce flame retardant cotton.

Each sleeve is 21 inches in length to provide full arm coverage on most people. While it does not state they are sewn with Kevlar, Lincoln Electric states it is a high-strength thread to prevent ripping and fraying.

This set of sleeves can be used as primary or secondary arm protection for welding. They are designed for long-term use so don’t be nervous if you are looking to purchase these for your job and using them daily.

Buying Guide – How to find the best welding sleeves for your needs.

Sleeve Style: Depending on what your personal style is, you will have to decide if you want to purchase sleeves, a cape, or a full leather jacket. While we did not review leather jacket styles, it is a more expensive option. Sleeves and capes are cheaper but still offer the maximum protection to welders. They are also easier to get on and off before and after a welding job.

Durability: Be certain that the sleeves are made out of cowhide or leather to offer heat protection from spatter and sparks. It is also good to choose a set of sleeves with Kevlar stitching but it is not a necessity. Kevlar is resistant to high heat as well, and that is why we suggested it.

Brand: Do you want a specific brand or does any brand work for you? Most offer the same protection and even the off brands have as high or higher reviews than the more popular brands on the market.

Sleeve Length: Measure your arms before purchasing to make sure the sleeves will cover your entire arm, especially if you are going to be in a t-shirt while welding. Safety against burns is an important aspect and this is the main reason you are looking to purchase the welding sleeves.

Warranty: What is the welding sleeves warranty is there is any? If there is no warranty are you ok with this or will it sway you to purchase a product with a warranty?

O Canada for Our Daughters!

February 2 Tuesday. O Canada! Today the Hamilton Spectator published my letter to the editor about singing O Canada! I did not read it in the Spec but learned of it in late afternoon when I got an email from my friend Alfie:

“Hi HERMAN, Was very pleased to read your editorial in today’s  SPEC!!! Am VERY jealous of your 15 G children!!!! I have only 4! But you omitted mention your Wood ducks, eh! wish you wellness, Alfie.”

 Thanks Alfie. You would be even more jealous about my 15 grandchildren if you knew how wonderful they all are. And yes, I’ll write about the Wood Ducks (the most beautiful ducks in North America, I think) in some future blog. For today, it’s O Canada!

The Spec article ran under the heading “Let’s change the way we sing our national anthem” and here is what I wrote:

Dear Editor,

I support the attempt by MP Mauril Belanger to have the words of “O Canada” (English version) changed to read: “True patriot love in all of us command” (instead of just “our sons”). But let’s not wait for Parliament to act! I for one, have been singing this version for many decades, particularly as I have two sons and three daughters, and two grandsons and thirteen granddaughters. And a wife! Come on Canadians! Don’t wait for the slow machinery of government to act. Let’s all change the anthem every time we sing “O Canada”!

One thought on “O Canada for Our Daughters!

This post has very little to do with the granola and so much more about the pantry.

I mean, this granola is amazing. So good. Truly. But I love granola, so of course I’ll say that. And it’s not my recipe. (It never is folks. It never is.)  For the “real” creator of this recipe, click here.

This post is more about how a simple granola recipe made me happy again. (Yes, that’s dramatic. Yes, I’m being serious…. and overly dramatic.)

For a year, I was in a small rental with no space. (Yeah yeah, woe is me.)  I don’t like to cook. I’ve never liked to cook. But I’ve ALWAYS liked to bake. Always. Getting out the vanilla and opening a bag of brown sugar is blissful to me. But I have to be in the mood. (Same goes for writing, fyi.)  Baking won’t happen unless I’m feeling creative. And I haven’t felt the baking creative vibe for nearly a year. But last night the sun stayed up a bit longer. I noticed it wasn’t dark by the time I picked up my girls after work – which made me think of the following:

1. Spring is closer than I think!

2. I will have a good 15 minutes of natural lighting to take a picture of something fun in my kitchen.

At the stoplight I asked Google to find me a granola recipe with fresh blueberries. Google found me this:

 unnamed (1)

As soon as the car was in the garage, my girls and I ran in to the house, washed our hands and scurried to find the ingredients to make these blueberry granola bars. But first, we took a trip through our pantry. I knew exactly what I wanted.

These seriously cool serving trays from family in my past. (Mom! Were these Grandma’s? What year?)  I have so many in red and this gorgeous blue. They were tucked away for so long. I even left one out on the counter to hold veggies/fruit.

These cute heart tins perfect for a Valentine granola treat.

Honey. I love this bear.

We quickly whipped up a batch of granola, and found happy again. Truly. Happy.

Happy that I can lay down in this huge pantry! (It was supposed to be laundry. I said, ‘heck no! It needs to be a pantry.)

Happy that I can now find my wine glasses!

Happy that I have a breakfast treat (that my Ella loves!) for at least a few days!

Happy (so happy) that we are finally home.

P.S. The lovely welcome home card is from Mr. Scott! Read about his kind gesture here.  (Yes, Scott. The card is right by the bag of potatoes. It makes me smile each day!)

Final notes:  Here’s the recipe again. (I used pecans instead of walnuts. I think coconut would be good, too!)

Safdarjung doctors on strike

New Delhi, May 9 (IANS) Around 1,000 resident doctors at the Safdarjung Hospital are on a strike, miffed with poor amenities, security and salaries, and patients are bearing the brunt of their agitation, a doctor said Thursday.

The strike that began Wednesday has hit the out patients department (OPD) services but the emergency and the intensive care unit (ICU) services are running smoothly, officials said.

Lambasting the hospital for lacking basic facilities, one of the doctors said: “There is no drinking water even for patients, leave alone doctors. We are not getting paid properly and no proper security facilities are in place.”

“There are cases where doctors have been assaulted by aggrieved families of patients,” he added.

Doctors also complained of lack of adequate accommodation for the number of doctors in the hostel.

Harsh Anand, president of Resident Doctors Association, told IANS: “We have already held meetings with the hospital authorities before going on strike but still situation remains the same.”

S.N. Makwana, press information officer at the hospital, however assured that the gridlock would end soon.

“We are meeting the resident doctors on strike and the strike would be over soon,” Makwana told IANS.

However, another doctor, Sameer Prabhakar warned that if their demands were not met, the agitation would continue at any cost.

“We are all hoping that our demands will be met and the issue would get resolved soon If that does not happen then we will continue with the strike,” he said.

So that was young Leopold Fischer who landed in India with the sole desire of becoming a Sanyasi. (One has to be initiated into Sanyasashrama by one who is already a Sanyasi). But the monks in India could not accede to his request for grant of Sanyasa as they said it is the sole preserve of Hindus and he as an European is not entitled to follow Sanyasashrama. However, he luckily met one particular Sanyasi belonging to the Sringeri Sarada Peetam (One of the five Peetams established by Adi Sankaracharya) who was willing to initiate him into Sanyasa. Sitting right in the middle of two burning pyres on the banks of River Ganga at Banares (Varanasi) at midnight he was initiated into Sanyasashrama and Leopold Fischer officially became a Swami and his new name was Swami Agehananda Bharati.

  • To become a Sanyasi one should be a Brahmin and male. – Tat Tvam Asi Apr 25 '18 at 4:34
  • Ramakrishna Mission has many non-Hindu sannyasis. You can see the photographs of 1 female sannyasi here: www.vedanta.org – Pradip Gangopadhyay Apr 25 '18 at 12:21
  • But then they themselves (Ramakrishna mission) claimed they are not Hindu :-) (they lost that case in court) @Pradip Gangopadhyay – S K Apr 25 '18 at 12:38
  • Their lawyers advised them to make use of the pro-minority laws to stop the CPI(M) government from taking over their shcools and colleges. The Left government wanted to boot out the Swamis and get CPI(M) goons to the governing bodies. The lawyers of RKM told them that as a Hindu org they will loose control over all their schools and colleges. Hence they tried to get the minority tag. After the fall of the left govt they have gotten the minority tag from the Mamata government. All this is to stop political interference and has nothing to do with their being non-Hindu. – Pradip Gangopadhyay Apr 25 '18 at 13:01

SanyAsa is not someone's monopoly and it is completely private. It is not dogmatic. It become dogmatic only when the SanyAsa is forced upon oneself by oneself.

The Supreme Divine Personality said: Giving up of actions motivated by desire is what the wise understand as sanyās. Relinquishing the fruits of all actions is what the learned declare to be tyāg. BG-18.2

So anyone can be Sanyasi just by giving up actions motivated by desires. It has nothing to do with any establishment intrinsically.

  • Who uses supreme divine personality? Did the translator use it? – Sarvabhouma Apr 25 '18 at 5:13
  • @Sarvabhouma Yes, I also felt awkward while pasting here. – Mr. Sigma. Apr 25 '18 at 5:14
  • 1
    But this is not the external Sannyas. Where they are required to give up the thread and all. This is the internal Sannyas which is the real one. For the external Sannyas only Dvijas are qualified. @Rohit. – Rickross Apr 25 '18 at 17:52
  • @Rickross internal is the meat. – Mr. Sigma. Apr 26 '18 at 16:20
  • If OP is asking about internal Sannyas then the question itself is invalid.. so answers should be given from the usual perspective..@Rohit. – Rickross Apr 27 '18 at 5:38
