http://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/578986 Rigor Mortis, Gammacide, Devilfist and Demonseed are all the musical ingredients the supergroup Texas Metal Alliance needed to create Warbeast, a legendary Texas thrash metal super supergroup. Adding just a dash of "no bullshit metal onslaught" by local acts Protest and The Black Moriah, Warbeast sent fans into a mosh-filled frenzy on Saturday night at The Boiler Room in Dallas. Located just off Elm Street, The Boiler Room offers the perfect place to evoke the gods of metal. Daily drink specials, a powerful sound system and an intimate setting that allows pulse-driving metal to reverberate long after the guitars quit playing are just some of the reasons this historic venue was named the Observer's best rock bar in 2011. Paying homage to some of metal's lost giants - Jeff Hanneman (Slayer), Dimebag Darrell (Pantera) and Mike Scaccia (Ministry/Rigor Mortis), Warbeast treated fans to an intimate concert that transcended a typical Dallas metal show as local metal legends Bruce Corbitt, Scott Shelby and Casey Orr walked among fans, sharing whiskey and banging their heads in support of local music. Black t-shirts embroidered with various bands and blue denim jeans jackets were the evening's attire for most of the outlaws, sending my memories spiraling back to the late '80s when Metallica dominated the metal charts and Dave Mustaine of Megadeth changed guitarists more often than Madonna reinvented herself. The opening acts inspired fans to slam into each other, forming pseudo mosh pits in front of the small stage. Songs entitled "Corruption" and Fueled" by Protest and "Casket Prospects" and "Exile of Avalon" by The Black Moriah thundered from the speakers, and bodies literally hit the floor when Warbeast's lead guitarist Scott Shelby entered the mosh pit. Shelby pushed, shoved and roared as if he were transforming into Gnmange, a werewolf who shreds the guitar and women in leather. (See official "Blood Moon" trailer.)

http://southwoodgroup.org/emmy-rossum-as-beautiful-creature-in-the-norse-gods/ Eternal- this is what the world of mythology really demarcated. From the very beginning they learned to communicate with one another, humans have told stories about beings and universes beyond their own. Evolution has made its own versions of it, becoming magnificent symbols of various ideals, beliefs and fears. Emmy Rossum known as a caster in the world of beautiful creatures essentially went beyond what everybody typically knows about dark magicians and instead found something extraordinary in Norse mythology. Rossum was being motivated to pursue the role because of the demographic state of the network where number of young people watch the show than other shows and more males watch shameless even this is a more female-driven. And, due to the fact that she is a big fan of Richard [LaGravenese] and literature she read the first book of the story and felt excited to play the character which then had the opportunity to audition, because it's such a different type of villain. Herein shows the transformation from being young and innocent to embracing her dark side. She was more being inspired about wicca and spellcasting which gave her much interest in searching powerful goddesses. Freyja, a norse goddess who is beautiful and very sensual and and definitely seen as a dark power because of how she encourages people to do bad things and also because in some of the stories she's shown as the person who leads people into the underworld when they're dead, hooked Rossum. And so for her, that kind of combination of darkness with allure was something that she wanted to bring to the character as Ridley. In an interview with Rossum, she said that she contributed in somewhat imagining the physicality of what a claiming would entail, because that's not something that's defined in any way as a sort of seizure, but her basically approach to it. In this movie, it's an interesting part of the

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/10/business/global/new-data-suggest-stabilizing-chinese-economy.html?_r=0 HONG KONG - China's economy faces major structural challenges in the coming years, but for now, the slowdown of the recent past may have bottomed out. A new batch of economic data released Friday provided additional signs of buoyancy in an economy that has been weighed down by lackluster international demand. The Chinese government has also taken a tough-love approach, eager to wean the country from its reliance on exports and cheap credit. Industrial output growth, which had been languishing around 9 percent for the past few months, jumped to 9.7 percent in July, the National Bureau of Statistics reported. The figure easily beat expectations for a rise of 9 percent, and helped support tentative signs that conditions in the country's manufacturing sector were starting to show a moderate improvement. Retail sales grew 13.2 percent from a year earlier, slightly less than the 13.5 percent that analysts polled by Reuters had expected, but in line with the performance of the past few months. And investment in fixed assets, like buildings and machinery, in urban areas also was in line with expectations, growing 20.1 percent in the first seven months of this year. Together with unexpectedly solid import and export data released Thursday, this week's data appeared to show that the Chinese economy has stabilized, at least for now, and prompted some analysts to project a modest pickup in the coming months. ''The better-than-expected July activity data has largely dampened the concern of a hard landing of China's economy,'' economists at Australia and New Zealand Banking Group wrote in a note. It suggests that China's economy ''is bottoming out.'' China had been gradually losing steam for many months as it left behind the supercharged growth that turned it into the world's second-largest economy, after the United States. Economic growth is like

Det er hauger av bøker tilgjengelig norrøn mytologi, spesielt på nybegynnernivå. Prøver å bestemme hvor du skal begynne kan være skremmende. Hvis du er fascinert av hva du har funnet her på norrøn-Mythology.org og ønsker å utforske emnet videre, her er en liste over 10 av beste bøkene i feltet (pr. desember 2012). Denne listen er skrevet hovedsakelig med nybegynnere eller middels student av norrøn mytologi i tankene, selv om noen av de mer spesialisert bøkene i denne listen vil være av stor bruk for de som allerede er kjent med grunnleggende i den gamle mytologien og religionen norrøne og andre germanske folk, og vil gå videre. Rekkefølgen på bøkene i denne listen går fra den mest nybegynner-vennlig til de mest avanserte. 1. De norrøne mytene av Kevin Crossley-Holland Kevin Crossley-Holland's The norrøne myter er den beste innføringen i norrøn mytologi der ute for total nybegynner. Boken begynner med en kort oppsummering av norrøn kosmologi og pantheon, som setter scenen for det virkelige midtpunktet av arbeidet: Crossley-Hollands underholdende og nøyaktig gjenfortellingene av flere av de mest sentrale historier om norrøn mytologi, som opptar det store flertallet av bokens sider. Det er absolutt ingenting her som ville skremme bort nonspecialist. 2. Guder og myter i Nord-Europa av HR Ellis Davidson Hilda Roderick Ellis Davidson var en av det tjuende århundre fremste forskere og popularizers av norrøn mytologi. Guder og myter av Nord-Europa er hennes mest tilgjengelige verk, og er perfekt for nybegynnere som ønsker en mer vitenskapelig ta på norrøn mytologi enn Crossley-Hollands innledende arbeid (over).
