It looks like we're entering the endgame in Afghanistan, the infamous "Graveyard of Empires," a lot sooner than we anticipated.
Barack Obama would have liked to slide out gracefully, leaving behind a U.S.-financed indigenous force as a fig leaf, but events on the ground rarely stick to carefully laid plans. Incidents like the Marines urinating on the dead bodies, the accidental incineration of a pile of Qurans, and the latest episode of a soldier running amok and butchering a bunch of civilians have pretty much worn out a welcome that was never extended.
Word has leaked out from unnamed sources in the know that the Afghan army we've set up to provide stability is a joke, and that the Taliban are just biding their time until we wise up that the game is over. Since Afghanistan will return to a state of political entropy whether we leave now or a year from now, domestic politics becomes the determinant of military strategy.
If we're still all-in by Election Day, Romney will hammer Obama for leading the nation into a quagmire. If we declare victory and begin an immediate pullout, Republicans in Congress will accuse Obama of cutting and running (ring any bells?) before the job is done.
So if I were the president, I'd do the latter in hopes that a grateful American voting public will have forgotten all about Afghanistan eight months from now. It's a pretty safe bet—how many of us are still talking about Iraq?
Then it will be left to Hamid Karzai, speeding toward Kabul Airport in his limo, to call the pilots of that private C-130 full of gold ingots he has sitting on the tarmac and issue the famous command known from Vietnam to Haiti to the Philippines: "Gentlemen, start your engines."

Two weeks after a Sacramento judge issued a final dismissal of pimping allegations against the current and former owners of the online classifieds giant Backpage.com, California Attorney General and U.S. Senator-elect Kamala Harris on Friday filed a slew of new pimping and money laundering charges against Backpage CEO Carl Ferrer, and against Michael Lacey and Jim Larkin, whom Harris refers to as the "controlling shareholders" in the company, despite the two men saying they sold their interest in Backpage two years ago.
Harris hit all three men with 27 charges of money laundering, alleging that Backpage routed millions of dollars in transactions through companies created by Backpage for that purpose. The new criminal complaint insists Backpage was trying to get around credit card processors that were refusing to take the website's transactions because of its "overtly sexual content," a reference to Backpage's adult section, where advertisers pay to list escort services, body rubs, phone sex, and the like.
California's money-laundering statute specifies that an alleged perpetrator must have attempted financial transactions knowing that the money involved "derived directly or indirectly from the proceeds of criminal activity," in this case, prostitution. Harris also charged each defendant with conspiracy to pimp, and with 12 additional felonies involving pimping adults, teenagers and minors.
If the pimping charges sound familiar, that's because in October Harris originally charged all three men with conspiracy to pimp, slapping Ferrer with nine counts of pimping in addition to his conspiracy charge.
In the new criminal complaint, seven of the 12 pimping charges involve the same dates and the same initials of the alleged victims involved. Just as she did in the case's first charging document, Harris alleges that the three men have derived income from prostitution, which in California is the statutory definition of pimping.
But there's a problem with Harris's latest legal foray against the Backpage Three: Sacramento Superior Court Judge Michael Bowman has already rejected her theory of the crime. In response to a defense motion to dismiss (referred to as a "demurrer" in California), Bowman granted the motion — not once, but twice — first issuing a preliminary decision on November 16, declaring that the three men were shielded from prosecution by Section 230 of the federal Communications and Decency Act, which states that the owners of interactive websites cannot be held criminally or civilly liable for content created by a third party.
After giving the prosecution a chance to submit additional evidence and arguments to bolster its case, Bowman shot down the AG's office again on December 9, writing that, in Section 230, Congress had precluded online publishers from being prosecuted for publishing third-party speech.
"Congress has spoken on this matter," writes Bowman in both decisions, emphasizing these words in bold, "and it is for Congress, not this Court, to revisit."
The AG's office told Bowman in its original and subsequent filings that because Backpage had re-posted some of its content to other sites, it was creating new content, and Section 230's grant of immunity did not apply. But Bowman rejected this assertion, as well as the notion that the three men were deriving income from the world's oldest profession.
In his December 9 order, Bowman observed that re-posting content was protected by Section 230, and providing a forum for online publishing, as Backpage does, is "a recognized legal purpose," which is "generally provided immunity" under Section 230.
"In short, the victimization resulted from the third party's placement of the ad, not because Backpage is profiting from the ad placement," Bowman concludes.
Notwithstanding the severe spanking she got from Bowman, Harris seems not to have learned her lesson. In a press release announcing the new charges — issued the Friday before a holiday weekend — Harris again labels Backpage as an "online brothel," and describes her pursuit of Ferrer, Lacey and Larkin as part of a moral crusade.
"My office will not turn a blind eye to this criminal behavior simply because the defendants are exploiting and pimping victims on the Internet rather than on a street corner," Harris says in the release.
The release further states that the re-charging of the three men resulted from her office's discovery of "new evidence" against Backpage. But noted legal scholar Eric Goldman, a professor at Santa Clara University School of Law and co-director of the school's High Tech Law Institute, is skeptical of Harris's claims.
"The AG's office had been investigating Backpage for three years before bringing the first complaint," Goldman tells New Times via e-mail. "So it's amazing they found new evidence in the two weeks since they lost the last case."
Goldman, whose Technology and Marketing Law blog is the go-to source for news and analysis of the myriad legal battles over Section 230, writes that the AG's office seems to be peddling the same legal theories that it did previously in the case. The professor also had questions about the money laundering charges.
He writes:
"Is the AG taking the position that every dollar of ad revenue for escort ads was illegally tainted — even though we know some of those ads were, in fact, legal — or is the AG going to prove for each of the 27 counts of money laundering counts that the executives *knew* the specific dollars in question were derived from illegal prostitution?"
Ferrer, Larkin, and Lacey are scheduled to be arraigned on the new charges on January 11 in Sacramento County Superior Court. Lacey did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
(Note: Lacey and Larkin are the co-founders of New Times and were once the owners of the alt-weekly chain that includes this paper — formerly Village Voice Media, now Voice Media Group. They sold the chain to company executives in 2012.)

start me up identity & packaging
StartMeUp is an emergency jump starter small enough to keep in your glove compartment that charges your battery through the lighter. No getting out of the car and no jumper cables. Clever, huh? Unfortunately, the original package design was not. A cheap cardboard case and cheesy graphics made consumers question if StartMeUp would really work if they were stuck in in the middle of nowhere.
In collaboration with industrial designer Alan Ball, Visual Dialogue scoured automotive aisles and found that most packaging had a "macho car guy" look with a lot of red and black, checkerboard flags, and lightning bolts. We went in the opposite direction—bright colors, a clean look, "easy-as-1-2-3" logo, and a plastic case—to make it clear that when you need it, StartMeUp will work and be easy to use.

Mens Health
The myth is that the bigger, the better. It's on all the covers of the magazines, in Sex in the City, and has started to become a common thought for everyone. But, this isn't necessarily true. Of course, every guy wishes they had a larger dick, thinking that women will worship them if they have one, but it doesn't work like that. The romance between you and your partner won't increase just because you have a bigger penis. Psychologically, it may make you feel more confident, however, that's all in your head. Though you may think you're the only guy with an average-size penis, science has a different outcome then what you think. In reality, only 15% of men have organs which are larger than 7 inches and even less (2%) for those with penises larger than 8 inches. In other words, hardly any men have legitimately large penises. Makes you feel better right?
But now you're wondering, well, is my penis big enough? Good question. Through a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, it discovered that an average penis is just over 5 inches when erect. So, basically, a normal penis is an average of 5 inches. You're not feeling so bad now, right?
There's a good reason as to why the penis is an average of 5 inches. The penis itself is designed to be as effective as possible, being capable of having multiple orgasms throughout the day and on top of that, being able to release over a billion sperm per month. The reason why the average penis is 5 inches in size is that it's the perfect size to penetrate the largest number of partner. Though you may think that large penises have the biggest advantage, that's incorrect. There's literally nothing advantageous to have a large penis, it's only been seen as such throughout the past years. However, when it comes to functionality, the smaller is actually the better.
Now, you may be thinking, okay, great, but does this mean that an average-sized penis is pleasurable for a woman? Well, let's answer that question. There are a couple reasons why less is more when it comes to penis size. Though in short, yes, having a 5-inch penis is pleasurable for women. In fact, it's perfect and here's why.
Firstly, men with smaller penises are able to have sex with any partner and be successful with penetration. The average 5-inch penis is designed to insert easily into the vagina, plus, it's typically the size that's the most comfortable inside the vagina and anus. This is because men have more control of their penises when they're smaller, thus, they're able to direct it to specific areas inside the vagina and anus.
Secondly, the average 5-inch penis doesn't produce pain for the woman during penetration. Typically, large penises which are over 5-inches when erect are not designed for a large number of vaginas. If the penis is too long, for example, over 7-inches, it can be longer than the vaginal canal, causing the tip of the penis to touch the cervix during sex. This causes pain as the cervix is extremely sensitive.
Thirdly, in order to stimulate the vagina, you don't need to penetrate deeply into the vagina, unlike popular belief. Many men assume that the most stimulation occurs from a large penis as it enters deeply into the vaginal canal. However, the orgasm-inducing area of the vagina occurs in the first 2-3 inches in the vaginal canal. Thus, what's important is that your penis is able to enter the first 2-3 inches of the vagina for stimulation.
Lastly, though having a 5-inch penis is the perfect size for penetration, what's important to know is that it's only a portion of what goes on during sex. In reality, 50% of sex is the size of the penis and the other 50% is the skill and effort you have developed over time. You could have the perfect penis, but if you're not sure how to use it, then it's the same as having as 12-inch one. Incorporating oral sex and fingering into your sexual routine could help your partner to orgasm and overall have a more enjoyable experience. It's not only about the size of your penis, it's also how you use it and what you're doing with your hands and mouth – don't forget them in the bedroom.
So, you were wondering if your penis is big enough and guess what? It is. Overall, if your penis is between 5 – 6 inches, you're actually holding the perfect penis in your pants. Though everyone thinks packing a giant sausage in your underwear is the way to go, they're wrong. In this case, smaller is actually better. But remember, it's not just about the size, it's how you use it.

After reading the declaration against violence and for peace and democracy, I can only wonder what they will do with Hugo Chavez in order for the Government to fulfill its part. The declaration signed today by both the Government and the opposition contains eight articles. Let�s see which Hugo Chavez violated last Sunday in his usual Sunday address:
1) We reject verbal intemperance, recrimination, injuring language and any rhetoric that in any way may contribute to stimulate confrontation. We propose a language of mutual respect, tolerance and of consideration for the ideas of others� Wow! He did not respect a single one of these. Actually this appears to define the anti-Chavez
2) In general we ask for respect for the Constitution and the laws of the Republic. Not even close, on Sunday he asked judges to jail PDVSA people for sabotaging the company, no formal charge has been brought against any of them. He also said if private companies did not want to sell their products and shut down, he would have the military and the people take them over. All of these are simply illegal.
3) We reject categorically all manifestations of violence or intolerance, as well as expressions that may mean offense as a means of discussing political differences. �.We will place all our efforts in creating conditions to strengthen and consolidating a climate of peace and tolerance…. Has Chavez seen this? After all, he is Mr. Intolerance and Mr. Offense.
4) All attitudes should cease that directly or indirectly promote aggression, threats, persecution or violence�. Chavez violates this one every single Sunday
5) We ask the church…..political parties and similar organizations to promote actions and send messages to promote democratic values and the principle of peace, tolerance and coexistence�.. If this includes the President as part of his political party, then he violates it everytime he speaks.
6) The parts ratify their total respect to the validity of the rights granted by the Constitution for freedom of speech and information….This is exactly the opposite of the �muzzle� Bill being promoted by the Government to control the media and their actions in the last few weeks against TV stations.
7) And 8) express the wish to maintain communication between the parts and work towards reaching agreements so they can�t be violated.
Thus I ask, what will happen this Sunday when Hugo Ch�vez in his Sunday program violates 1) though 6) as he customarily does? Has he read this? Can he even try or attempt not to violate them? I simply doubt it���what then? The only way he may respect the agreement is simply to shut up!

Rooks are typically birds of farmland, and I have found them rather wary in the British countryside. However, there is a small population present on the grassy areas along Swansea seafront, particularly the golf course. I don't know where they breed, but the constant presence of people here has led to some of them becoming very approachable. Here are some photos I took on a walk there last Thursday, November 25th:

Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph - 26 April 1916
Prediction of a Raunds Man Now in Tasmania The "North Eastern Advertiser", of Tasmania, recently reproduced a remarkable war prophecy written as long ago as 1910 by Mr Charles Lucas, of Derby, Tasmania, formerly of Raunds, and brother of Mrs E J Whitney, of Raunds. The article was originally published in the "Launceston Daily Telegraph" (Tasmania) and also in a Northamptonshire (England) paper, early in the year mentioned (1910).
Charles Lucas - born in Raunds in 1856
Under the heading "Will the British Empire stand?" the writer says: "One of the greatest dangers is the position of Germany and Austria. These two nations practically dominate Europe today, and it is well known that when they make the next move in the game of chess which is going on something big will happen. . . . .The Emperor of Germany is a professor of peace, but during the past few years Germany has been inclined to draw the sword against France on two occasions, and would probably have done so but for the position Great Britain took up. . . . . What will the next move be?
Well, Germany is getting her Navy up to the highest pitch possible with feverish haste, and as soon as it has reached the strength required a move will be made for the absorption of Holland and Belgium, which she so badly needs for the purpose of her Navy, and which will give her more seaboard and harbours.
Then will come the Great Armageddon of which we have heard so much, and the whole of Europe will be in arms. Great Britain must take her stand to preserve the balance of power in Europe, and will be joined by Russia and France, and probably other smaller Powers; and the safety of the Empire will then depend on the efficiency of the Navy. If that fails, the Empire will fall to pieces at one stroke; for it is well known that if Britain loses the command of the sea she could not hold out three months after her supplies of food had been cut off.
If this did happen the British Empire would at once be Germanised. . . . . If our Empire's Navy comes out on top we are all right, and the Empire will be safe; but if not the Germans will rule Europe, if not practically the larger portion of the world. If Germany fails in the attempt it only means losing her Navy , as with the enormous forces of the finest trained soldiers in the world, backed up with those of Austria, it is quite improbable that they would not more than hold their own against the combined forces that could be sent against her on land.
The outlook ahead is not a very pleasant one, and the Empire will do well to prepare itself in readiness, for it is almost certain the greatest war the world has ever seen is likely to take place during the next few years."

Sylvester Stallone Just Shared Some Never-Before-Seen 'Rocky' Photos, And They're Amazing
But does anyone really believe Rocky could have beaten Thunderlips?
A quick glance at Sylvester Stallone's IMDB page shows that the 70-year-old is keeping busy in his old age.
But the iconic action star has always got time for his fans, which he proved once agin this week by sharing some never-before-seen Rocky pictures on Instagram.
As great as some of these pics are, the stories that come with them are often better. Take the shot below, from the Rocky III montage that shows Balboa wrecking a bunch of schmucks. As Stallone tells it in the caption, this pic shows him decking a well-paid professional boxer whose job on set this day was to get his brain rocked.
This behind the scenes shot is from Rocky II, showing the moment just after Balboa beats Apollo Creed in the re-match of their first fight.
Stallone's best story from this pic dump comes with a shot of him high above the head Hulk Hogan, who played Thunderlips in Rocky III. In the caption below, Stallone recalls the terror he felt after the Hulkster fell on his collarbone.
"I was sure there was bone protruding through my upper chest ! Of course there wasn't but I have never felt such a mind numbing pain from a massive hit before or since that day!"

As House Republicans proudly passed their health-care bill on Thursday, Democrats trolled them — hard. They sang "Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye!" and waved bye-bye at the GOP.
There is no doubt that votes such as a health-care bill can have long-term and far-reaching electoral implications. Look no further than Democrats and Obamacare. They were arguably still paying the price for that one in the 2016 election.
And it's pretty clear that the Affordable Care Act did cost specific members their seats. A study from Brendan Nyhan, Seth Masket, the Monkey Cage's John Sides and others in 2012 found that, in the 2010 midterm elections — the first one after Obamacare's passage and the one in which the GOP took over the House — Democrats who supported Obamacare did 5.8 points worse than Democrats in similar districts who opposed it.
They calculated that if every Democrat in a tough district voted against the bill, Democrats could have saved 25 seats and probably their majority:
Could support for health-care reform have cost the Democratic Party not only votes but seats? We simulate the Democratic seat share in the House of Representatives in a counterfactual scenario in which all Democrats in competitive districts opposed health-care reform. In this scenario, Democrats would have retained an average of an additional 25 seats and would have had a 62 percent chance of winning enough races to maintain majority control of the House.
That 25 number, by the way, happens to be the exact number of seats Democrats need to regain the House majority in 2018.
(A separate study from Masket and Steven Greene in 2011 determined that 13 Democrats who voted for the bill pretty clearly lost their seats because of it — a number that today would wipe out just more than half of Republicans' House majority.)
And there are clearly some Republicans who may have jeopardized themselves Thursday. According to Stephen Wolf of Daily Kos Elections, 24 House Republicans who voted for the bill come from districts where President Trump didn't get a majority of the vote, and 14 come from districts that went for Democrat Hillary Clinton. Those are two-dozen districts where this vote can quickly be thrown in the GOP members' faces. And, again, Democrats need 25 seats.
These 24 House Republicans voted Yes on the #AHCA health care bill & hold seats where Trump got <50% of the vote. 14 hold seats Clinton won! pic.twitter.com/z3pih17x5Q— Stephen Wolf (@PoliticsWolf) May 4, 2017
(Philip Bump has much more detail on who voted how.)
What's more, the GOP's health-care bill certainly seems unpopular enough to really do some damage to them politically. We only have polling of the previous version of the bill, which was abandoned when it faced defeat in March. But polls then showed very strong opposition.
A CBS News poll showed Americans opposed it 62 percent to 29 percent.
And a Quinnipiac poll showed they opposed it 56 percent to 17 percent. (17 percent support!)
The biggest change to the bill since then has been to scale back Obamacare's preexisting coverage mandate — the so-called MacArthur amendment — which could lead to higher costs for those with such conditions by allowing states to obtain waivers for insurers to charge them different prices.
And that could actually make the bill even more unpopular; a Washington Post-ABC News poll two weeks ago showed 70 percent of Americans opposed allowing states to obtain waivers to allow insurers to charge higher prices or not cover people with preexisting conditions. (The change would do the former, not the latter — though coverage could wind up being so expensive that it prices such people out of the market.)
That aside, the CBS and Quinnipiac polls showed Americans opposed the law by 33 points and 39 points, respectively. By contrast, the worst Washington Post-ABC poll ever conducted for Obamacare showed Americans opposed it by a 17-point margin (57-40 in November 2013), and the worst Kaiser Family Foundation tracking poll also showed the law 17 points underwater (51-34 in October 2011).
In other words, the GOP's bill may already be more unpopular than Obamacare ever was.
Obamacare wasn't the only vote weighing down Democrats in 2010, of course. The cap-and-trade energy bill also appeared to be an albatross, with the 2012 study showing Democratic supporters of the bill doing 3.1 points worse, on average, than opponents. Part of the reason Obamacare may have had a bigger impact is because its effects were felt nationwide, while cap-and-trade was much more controversial in coal country. This is the danger of big bills like health care: The impact is vast, and you can alienate voters across the country in one fell swoop if you mess it up.
Another big difference between Obamacare and cap-and-trade, though, is that Obamacare became the law; cap-and-trade did not. And that's a key point here. House Republicans voted for a bill Thursday that is likely to be substantially altered by the Senate. If the Senate can pass a bill, the two versions will have to be reconciled into another bill that will be different from what the House passed today. That would then get a vote in both chambers. Perhaps they'll never even get to that point! Which would mean the vote today would be more a footnote than anything else.
But that footnote would still grant Democrats all kinds of attack lines in TV ads. And those attack ads wrote themselves Thursday afternoon.
We don't have an updated Congressional Budget Office score, but the previous version of this bill was scored, and this was one of the conclusions: 24 million fewer people would be insured by 2026 under the legislation. "Congressman XYZ voted to take 24 million people off health insurance" is a pretty easy line.
The GOP bill also scaled back Obamacare's guarantee for those with preexisting conditions — a portion of the Affordable Care Act law that 87 percent of Americans say they like, according to a CNN poll. Republicans made it so insurers can charge these people more, but also threw in $8 billion in funding for high-risk pools to allay the increased costs. Regardless of whether that's enough, "Congressman XYZ voted to cut coverage for preexisting conditions" will be used in campaign ads.
And just one more example: The previous CBO estimate also found that premiums for older, poorer Americans would increase exponentially — as much as 750 percent, to $14,600 per year for a senior citizen making $26,500 per year. And older people, it bears emphasizing, are people who vote. "Congressman XYZ voted to raise premiums by 750 percent for low-income senior citizens" is another damning line that Democrats can use.
Republicans opened themselves up to all these lines of attack on Thursday, and you can bet Democrats will use them. But it's likely that the backlash won't be quite as big if the GOP ultimately fails to turn this bill into law — or if it manages to somehow push through something more popular than the bill that passed today.

Two members of Utah's all-Republican congressional delegation have joined Democratic colleagues in pushing back against recent moves by the U.S. Department of Education to restrict state oversight of student loan providers.
In a letter to U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, dated Wednesday, Utah Reps. Mia Love and Rob Bishop ask DeVos to withdraw her department's recent position that states lack the authority to regulate private lenders contracting with the federal government.
"The Department's interpretation attempts to create broad new legal standards not intended by Congress under the Higher Education Act and undermines state efforts to protect tens of millions of Americans with student debt," said the letter, with additional signatures by Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore., and Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo.
In March, DeVos announced that federal law pre-empts states from taking regulatory action against student loan companies that participate in the U.S. Department of Education's financial aid programs.
Her directive came amid mounting tension between private lenders and state lawmakers, who have sought to protect students from predatory lending practices and ballooning education debt throughout the nation.
In a written statement, Love said her concerns are focused on students who are not properly served by some lenders.
"Those companies should be held accountable, and I'm troubled by the department's plan to pre-empt states from any oversight of these bad actors," Love said. "I'm concerned that this move will only result in less transparency and accountability from the servicers, and in turn, will result in ever worse service for our students."
Bishop, in a statement, said issues related to private lenders are best managed by states.
"States, not the federal government, are best positioned to safeguard against the varied threats faced by student borrowers," Bishop said.
In their letter, members of Congress argue that individual states have an important role in consumer protection, including enforcing regulations that protect residents from "predatory, unfair and deceptive business practices."
"We urge the Department of Education to consider the views of the state officials closest to the effects of the student debt crisis on millions of Americans in all 50 states," they wrote, "and respond by withdrawing its recent interpretation."

Bless Obama's heart! Fox News' Bret Baier puts the extent of the fail into perspective, doesn't he? And the fail is epic. As Twitchy reported, President Obama totally didn't fill that stadium and his speech is being moved to a smaller venue. #EmptyStadiumDay, indeed!
@BretBaier @wxbrad they clearly can't fill stadium and once again think we are stupid.
— Peter K. Szabo (@peterkszabo) September 5, 2012
@BretBaier the venue change is like going from Fenway Park to a Foto Mat booth.
— Ted Cruz Watch Dog (@DanMartin_cards) September 5, 2012
@BretBaier Only reason they moved the speech- was NOT the weather, but because they knew they could NOT fill all the Seats! jmo Great pic!

Heh. It seems to be a common problem among Democrat men. Brad Woodhouse and all the DNC-led "bus tours" suffer from flaccid turn-out dysfunction. When will they learn not to brag about size when totally impotent?
@BretBaier O pls tell me you're going 2 discuss that w/tonight's panel? Pretty please! Can't wait 4 #SpecialReport tonight!

Blackened death metal is like pizza. Just as mediocre pizza is still generally satisfying, so too is decent blackened death metal still pretty enjoyable when you're craving something extreme. Case in point: Chicago's Blood of the Wolf. Formed in 2013, this quartet boasts a strong pedigree in the Chicago scene, bringing experience from Rellik, God Dementia, Kommandant, Asphyxiator, and a host of other underground acts. That experience was certainly evident on 2015 debut I: The Law of Retaliation, whose relentless blastbeats and epic melodic riffing were perfect for someone still reeling from how mediocre the last few Hate albums have been. Sophomore record Campaign of Extermination coincidentally arrives just after I eradicated some rodents from my own apartment, but will Blood's sonic weaponry deliver the same killing power as my peanut butter-laced mousetraps, or is this wolf really just a one-trick pony?
Fortunately, things typically lean closer to the former. At heart Campaign is built from the same brutal armament as Retaliation: take a foundation of machine gun blastbeats, add in some bashed chords that often erupt into glorious streaming melodies, wrap the whole thing in a clear and modern production, and presto — you have what sounds like a more militant and melodic version of Belphegor. Vocalist and guitarist Mike Koniglio is the cherry on top, reaching back to his Rellik days to deliver a gruff and commanding roar that evokes comparisons to Hate or Krisiun. Yet unlike the chugs those acts often employ, Blood prefer instead to use continuous blasting to generate a transcendent sense of force, which — combined with the soaring riffs — makes them sound thunderous, dominant, and empowering.
Opener "Thunder the Drums of War" shows this as well as anything else, combining all these elements into a tight two-and-a-half minute runtime that hits hard, flies high, and paves the way for the rest of these 8 tracks to storm in. And storm they do – mid-album highlight "The Sword Is My Light and Salvation" is especially potent, combining a crunchy staccato riff, tense intervals, and a simple cleanly picked motif into one of the album's best tracks. Yet beyond this naming highlights isn't easy. I could mention how the meteoric swirling guitars of "With Fire and a Thousand Flashing Blades" evoke the terrific melodic tremolos of Rotting Christ, but this same trick is employed in plenty of other places on the album to similar effect. For how much I love Campaign when it's playing, it doesn't often deviate too far from its base formula, making it an enjoyable if somewhat homogenous 35 minutes.
To be fair, Blood do mix it up at times, but it doesn't always work. Third track "Beneditio Ultionis" is a sluggish cut that leans too hard on a sharp cleanly picked motif that simply isn't interesting enough to build a song around. Likewise, the preceding title track features some nice tremolos but otherwise feels pretty rote, making Campaign's first half sag a bit compared to what comes later. Fortunately, the production fits Blood's aesthetic perfectly, with a clear loud sound that commands your attention without inciting fatigue. I also absolutely love the slightly clicky sound of the bass drums, which accentuates their blasting power in a way that reminds me of Behemoth's Demigod, which is never a bad thing. Closer "A Sermon of Slaughtered Foes" also shows the band can successively mix it up on occasion, providing a smoldering end to Campaign with its marching riffs and acoustic plucking.
In all, Campaign feels like the quintessential good album. It's the type of album that's an easy listen for genre aficionados, the type of album you put on when you're craving the style but don't want to focus too hard on what you're listening to. It's easy to enjoy the tight performances, melodic inclinations, and sheer sense of force these Windy City natives deliver, but that doesn't mean it's without fault. In the future, a few more noteworthy riffs, deviations from their base template, or even some destructive chugs could really elevate Blood of the Wolf above the pack. For now, fans of Azarath, Spearhead, or other blast-heavy blackened death metal are sure to enjoy, as is anyone with a craving for the genre's equivalent of pretty good pizza.

Curating (and Organising)
I have done a number of projects as an independent curator, or sometimes as an organizer. I really love eclectic shows representing lots of different types of practice and ideas. I like to work collaboratively, and I like to challenge traditional categories of what gets to be considered "fine art." These are some of the key projects that I've worked on.
Hamilton Zineposium
Do you make zines, artists' books, DIY multiples of any kind? Do you make bizarre indie-arts/crafts/prints/comics/graphic novels/electronic arts/3d prints/posters/stickers/t-shirts/buttons/ … Maybe your stuff is too out-there for the X-mas craft fairs, or maybe it is so low key and subtle you feel like people never notice it at all… the annual Hamilton Zineposium is the place to get your stuff out into the world. Visit our facebook page or website.
I'm thrilled to be a co-founder and co-organiser of the Hamilton Zineposium along with Donna Akrey, Leah Klein, Carmela Laganse, Taien Ng-chan, and Brittany Sostar. The poster for the 2018 Zineposium was designed by the always awesome Sonali Menezes.
Encounter (Rebecca Diederichs and Sarah Peebles at Cambridge Sculpture Garden) (2014)
Encounter presented sculptures by Rebecca Diederichs and Sarah Peebles who each invited visitors to become actively involved with their art. Rather than creating monumental sculptures with high visual impact, both artists offered intimate works that were integrated within the environment at Cambridge Sculpture Gardens. Diederichs placed three delicate, small-scale sculptures at ground level throughout the garden, asking visitors to exercise their perceptual faculties as they seek out and discover these surprising works. Peebles combined art, science and audio art to create her Audio Bee Cabinet, Sonic Solitaries, a multi-sensory sculpture that also provided a home for local, pollinating insects.
Too Cool For School Art & Science Fair (Harbourfront Centre, 2010)
This was a two-part project commissioned by the Harbourfront Centre's Fresh Ground new works program. The first part was the fair, a one-day event in May of 2010 at which forty participants came together to share their art and science projects with each other and the general public. Judges Sean Gryb (Perimeter Institute), Hooley McLaughlin (Ontario Science Centre) and Crystal Mowry (Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery) spent the day talking with participants and awarding prizes.
Too Cool for School Art & Science Exhibition (2010-2011)
For the second part of the Too Cool for School project, Harbourfront Centre's Patrick Macaulay and I co-curated a selection of participants from the fair — Libby Hague, Doug Jarvis, Gareth Lichty, Abigale Miller, Allison Rowe and Elissa Ross & Patrick Ingram — to develop their projects into large scale installations that questioned the boundaries of art and science. These works by artists, scientists and mathematicians were exhibited in the large gallery space at Harbourfront Centre.

Woodlot: 3rd Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery Biennial (2006)
Woodlot was a regional biennial exhibition that I curated for the Kitchener Waterloo Art Gallery featuring artists Ruth Abernethy, Kelly Borgers, Jefferson Campbell-Cooper, Susan Detwiler, Niall Donaghy, Andrika Dubeckyj, Annie Dunning, Fatima Garzan, Lauren Hall, Arnold Jacobs, Janet Morton, Marinko Pipunic, Red and Andrew Wright. My curatorial agenda was to put a widely diverse group of artists in conversation with one another around the accessible theme of wilderness. Neo-conceptual, multi-media sculptures and installations inhabited the same space with landscape oil paintings and photography. All the works resonated well together, challenging traditional art world genre boundaries. An online catalogue with a curatorial essay was created in downloadable PDF format.
Quantal Strife with Scott Carruthers, Crystal Mowry and Marc Ngui (2006 - 2008)
Quantal Strife was an exhibition I curated with artists Scott Carruthers, Crystal Mowry and Marc Ngui. The artists created open-ended installations, works in progress that changed for each iteration of the show. Quantal Strife originated with Ann MacDonald's invitation to guest- curate for the Doris McCarthy Gallery, Toronto (2006) and toured to McMaster Museum of Art, Hamilton (2007) and Open Studio, Victoria, BC (2008). The artists and I created a collaborative book-work catalogue, A User's Guide to Quantal Strife, to accompany the show.
