House of Pain was an American hip hop trio that released three albums in the 1990s. The group consisted of DJ Lethal, Danny Boy, and Everlast. The group's 1992 hit single "Jump Around" reached number 3 in their native United States of America, number 6 in Ireland and number 8 in the United Kingdom. The group broke up in 1996.
Lead rapper Everlast went on to pursue a solo career as a blues rock artist and member of the supergroup La Coka Nostra which also featured DJ Lethal. DJ Lethal would later join and find commercial success with the nu metal band Limp Bizkit. House of Pain reunited briefly in 2010 for a world tour.
The group's name is a reference to the H. G. Wells novel The Island of Dr Moreau, a reference carried further by the naming of their 2011 tour He Who Breaks the Law.
Band history
1990–1992: Formation and breakthrough
In 1990, Daniel O'Connor (Danny Boy O'Connor) got together with fellow rapper Erik Schrody (Everlast) who had just released a rap album called Forever Everlasting (1990), that didn't have much success. O'Connor knew Schrody when he went to William Howard Taft High School in Woodland Hills, California (1984–1986), and various hip hop events they attended in their teens. Both of Irish American descent,[citation needed] they decided to make a hip hop group with this identity. While hanging out at O'Connor's home, Schrody noticed a cassette with the title House of Pain, which was a demo of a Punk group O'Connor tried to put together. Schrody really liked the name and felt they should re-use as their name. Schrody brought in his former DJ Leor Dimant (DJ Lethal), who is of Latvian descent, and House of Pain was created.[citation needed] Schrody would become the lead rapper, while O'Connor acted as the hype man, second emcee, art director and the graphic artist of the group. After they recorded a demo, for which O'Connor designed the cover, that created a bidding war among labels. The label they chose was Tommy Boy Records, who credited O'Connor's art work with having initially caught their attention.
In 1992, they released their debut album House of Pain, subtitled Fine Malt Lyrics. Their first single "Jump Around" was a major hit. In the United States, it peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, while reaching number 5 on the Hot Rap Songs, 13 on Rhythmic Top 40, 1 on Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales, number 17 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs, and is certified platinum. The song was produced by Lawrence Muggerud (DJ Muggs) and performed by Schrody. Both Muggerud and Schrody knew each other since Rhyme Syndicate. Muggerud who had a beat he had submitted to various artist, eventually invited Schrody to give it a try. Schrody wrote lyrics in his driveway and being influenced by dance hall singer Shabba Ranks part of the lyrics were “Jump around, if you love freedom. Jump around, if you love culture”, which Muggerud suggested they trim down to "Jump Around". While re-working his lyrics, Muggerud came up with the iconic horn that accompany the song. Their second single "Shamrocks and Shenanigans (Boom Shalock Lock Boom)" peaked at 65 on the Billboard Hot 100, 75 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, 14 on the Dance Club Songs, and 74 on Radio Songs. The album peaked at 14 on the Billboard 200, 14 on the U.S. Billboard Top Current Albums, 16 on the U.S. Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, 14 on the U.S. Billboard Top Album Sales, and is certified platinum.
1993–1996: Subsequent success and group's breakup
In 1993, they were among the rap artists who had cameo roles in Ted Demme's film Who's the Man?. For this project they provided a theme song by the same name, which was also used as a single for the soundtrack and their subsequent album. It rose to number 97 on the Billboard Hot 100, 77 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks, and 10 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales. Also that year, they participated together with Helmet, along with several other rap acts, on the 1993 rap rock collaborative Judgment Night film soundtrack.
In 1994, they released Same as It Ever Was. The album peaked at 12 equally on the Billboard 200, the U.S. Billboard Top Current Albums, the U.S. Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, the U.S. Billboard Top Album Sales, and is certified gold. AllMusic gave it four out five stars. Matt Carlson of The Michigan Daily found the album quite good and noted "the music is laid back with some heavy driving forces underlying and strengthening it". J.D. Constantine of The Baltimore Sun did not like album and found it monotonous and unimaginative. Roger Catlin of the Hartford Courant said that while finding the continuity monotonous it's "hard and compelling" as well as a "strong outing". Andrew Love of The Ocala Star-Banner gave it four stars saying "this is a band that has definitely progressed over the course of one album". Music critic Robert Christgau, who did not like their previous and subsequent album, gave it an A− and described it as "the hardest hip hop of the year".
In 1996, they released Truth Crushed to Earth Shall Rise Again. The album peaked at 47 on the Billboard 200, 47 on the U.S. Billboard Top Current Albums, 31 on the U.S. Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and 47 on the U.S. Billboard Top Album Sales. At the release party, Schrody decided to disband the group.[citation needed] Sputnikmusic wrote that "the trio’s most rounded, consistent & memorable LP is grossly under-appreciated." Dave Ferman of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram gave it one star and a half, calling it a "woeful mess". Steve Juon of RapReviews gave it a seven out of ten. AllMusic music gave it two point five stars out of five.
1997–present day: solo projects and reunions
From then on, the members continued their separate careers. Schrody achieved multi-platinum solo fame in 1998 with his album Whitey Ford Sings the Blues, where he developed a style that blended rap with acoustic guitar, as well as singing.
Dimant became the DJ of multi-platinum nu metal band Limp Bizkit.
O'Connor, did some freelance work designing clothes, and was involved in several music projects.
In late 2004, the creation of the rap supergroup La Coka Nostra started when O'Connor was mentoring young artists. He took notice of two up and comers which included George Carroll (Slaine) and brought them to meet his former DJ from House of Pain, Leor Dimant, who at the time was working on a compilation album and championing a new artist as well. They decided to make a group and asked O'Connor to become a member as a hype man and art director. After accepting, O'Connor felt that there was a void and asked experienced rapper William Braunstein (Ill Bill) to join. The group's name came about, when O'Connor teased Carroll and Braunstein with that nickname, after they both had a night out. The group started releasing music on MySpace, and went viral. Eventually, O'Connor received a letter from former House of Pain colleague Erik Schrody, who asked if he could join. By 2006, the group consisted of O'Connor, Carroll, Dimant, Braunstein, and Schrody.
In 2009, La Coka Nostra released A Brand You Can Trust was released on July 14, 2009, on Suburban Noize Records. It sold over 500,000 units. AllMusic gave four out of five stars. Andrew Kameka of HipHopDX wrote that "the album is a mostly solid effort and exactly what someone would expect from a supergroup of like-minded members known for high-energy music". Adam Kennedy of the BBC while praising some the moments of the album said "it’s a tantalising parting taste of potential capabilities, yet until they improve a customer satisfaction hit rate that barely troubles one in three tunes here". Steve Juon of RapReviews gave it a seven out of ten. Sputnikmusic described it as "a disjointed effort, but still pretty decent in and of itself and gave it three point five out of five. Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! said "La Coka Nostra are an interesting collection of collaborators that live up to the hype".
On March 2, 2012, it was announced that Schrody would be leaving La Coka Nostra due to his daughter's medical issues, while O'Connor and Dimant pursued two more project with the group Masters of the Dark Arts (2012) and To Thine Own Self Be True (2016).
House of Pain reunited at a private event held by UFC president Dana White in Boston on St. Patrick's Day 2009. It was officially announced on August 10, 2010, that House of Pain had reunited and performed their first "official" show in a decade at the second annual Epicenter music festival in Fontana, California, on September 25, 2010. Though Dimant is still a member of the group, he did not join them on their 2011 reunion tour due to prior obligations with Limp Bizkit. In April–May 2011 House of Pain attended the Groovin' the Moo touring festival in Australia, and also performed at Scotland's T in the Park festival on July 9, 2011, as well as Sonisphere UK Festival on July 12 of the same year.
House of Pain reunited in 2017 for a 25th Anniversary Tour. The tour included shows in DC, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, and California.
Between reunions and projects together, Schrody continues with his solo career, while Dimant still works with Limp Bizkit, and in 2019 O'Connor opened The Outsiders House Museum dedicated to both the novel and the film The Outsiders.

Ciclotimici presenta "3 in 1", spettacolo con tre atti unici di Luigi Pirandello: "L'uomo dal fiore in bocca", "La patente" e "Cecè". Regia di Simão Do Vale e con Alessandra Deffacis, Anna Fantozzi, Nicolò Prestigiacomo e Simão Do Vale. “Ma dimmi un po’, non è uno strazio pensare che tu vivi sparpagliato in centomila?” Le opere teatrali di Pirandello, spesso intese dai suoi contemporanei come filosofiche si presentano oggi a noi con una (apparente) chiarezza che si dissolve velocemente nella complessità umana dei personaggi, nelle loro sfumature intense e nelle ragnatele disegnate dalle loro coscienze. L’autore stesso rinnegava un’eventuale responsabilità filosofica, affermando d’aver: “Inteso sempre e soltanto di fare arte, secondo le mie possibilità e non filosofia”. Una forma di modestia molto particolare per un autore che aveva il totale dominio degli strumenti teatrali: un uomo che riconosceva in vita che “La grandezza del mio lavoro, la potenza dell’opera mia, da tutti in segreto e con dispetto riconosciuta, liberata dagli odii del tempo sarà proclamata e rifulgerà come un sole” quando “Il sole io non lo vedrò più, e non udrò più nulla, e avrò la bocca piena di terra, che sarà peggio di questo veleno di cui me la riempiono oggi”. Non è solo la filosofia pirandelliana a incuriosirci, ma anche l’abilità dell’autore nell’usare il teatro, i suoi spazi e i suoi corpi per mettere dinanzi ai nostri occhi oggetti artistici che sono molto di più della semplice necessità di sopravvivenza dei suoi personaggi. L’uomo dal fiore in bocca, Rosario Chiàrchiaro e Cecè rappresentano tre esistenze che cercano di sopravvivere oltrepassando i limiti dei loro naturali modi d’agire, che vanno in cerca di un’integrità che ci si presenta continuamente minacciata di distruzione (sia dal suo stesso potere, sia dall’ambiente circostante). Ognuno di loro tre, però, cerca la sua particolare via d’uscita. Quattro attori in cerca di tre atti unici, in uno spettacolo, il loro primo allestimento. Siamo inevitabilmente davanti a una necessità imposta (o auto-imposta?) di traslocare costantemente, di proteggere la nostra casetta, come una chiocciola, di farci avvolgere da un materiale che protegga dallo shock e di “fare per non smettere di pensare”. È solo una condizione che si accetta... e si rinnega. Si rinnega e si accetta, in una ciclotimia dell’abitare. Luigi Pirandello ci offre la possibilità di addentrarci in delle complesse concatenazioni di significati, di verità e bugie, di allegrie e tristezze, di catene sociali e libertà individuali, di serietà e follia. È un gioco perenne tra dramma e commedia, che confonde quasi sempre i limiti dell’uno e dell’altra. “L’uomo dal fiore in bocca”, “La patente” e “Cecè” ci hanno messo davanti alla possibilità di analizzare temi tanto diversi quanto l’imminenza della morte e i piccoli piaceri che ci tengono vivi, la disgrazia di una famiglia vittima della superstizione e i movimenti di sopravvivenza di qualcuno imprigionato dal proprio modo di vivere e di essere.

Globaler Klimastreik in Berlin am 15. März 2019
#FridaysForFuture - Schulstreik
An diesem globalen Streiktag der Fridays for Future -Bewegung protestierten rund 25.000 Schüler*innen und Student*innen in Berlin mit einer Kundgebung im Invalidenpark vor dem Bundeswirtschaftsministerium und einer Demonstration zum Kanzleramt. Ihre Wut richtete sich gegen die herrschenden Politiker, die aus ihrer Sicht praktisch nichts oder viel zu wenig gegen die globale Klimakrise unternehmen und deswegen ihre Zukunft existenziell bedrohen. Unterstützt wurden die Schüler*innen durch die Wissenschaftler der #ScientistsForFuture-Gruppe sowie die #TeacherForFuture, #ParentsForFuture und #GrandparentsForFuture.
Weltweit streikten heute Schüler*innen in über 120 Ländern an über 2.000 Orten. Etwa 300.000 Schüler*innen und Unterstützer*innen streiken in Deutschland.
Die Schüler*innen bestreiken absichtlich den Unterricht, um ein Zeichen zu setzen gegen Zerstörung der Erde, denn was nützt die ganze Bildung, wenn die Erde stirbt?
Die Fridays for Future -Bewegung ruft seit Monaten für jeden Freitag zum Schulstreik auf. Diese Umweltbewegung startete im August 2018 mit dem zunächst einsamen Protest der 16-jährigen Schülerin Greta Thunberg in Stockholm.
Dieser Freitag war der bisherige Höhepunkt der Fridays for Future -Bewegung.

This 3-in-3 Weave is just as it's named — three rings intersect three rings to form a subtle chain of alternating angles.
The rings used in this bracelet are 5mm in diameter; the bracelet is 5mm wide (three-eighths of an inch). It's made from sterling silver rings and findings. It closes with an unembellished toggle that complements the design of the bracelet.

I have now decided that a 'couple' counts as 1 shot for the sake of the project.
I believe I may have their names wrong, but I want to say Stan and Marge, but not sure. They are from Mountain Home, Arkansas which is about the middle of the state on Missouri border.
They also believed it was a great overcast day to shoot waterfalls!
They showed up at Triple Falls just a few minutes after. I had crossed the stream, when I noticed them shooting timed exposure portraits of themselves on the other side
I thought hey, here's a chance for a photo for the project, so I asked (rather loudly over the waterfall hum) if I could take their photo for this project.
Well the 'oops' thing I did here, was I was previously shooting time exposure shots of myself, so after asking and explaining the project as I grabbed my flash and setup my tripod, I well left my camera to timer.
Ooops, well he pointed it out to me, but I subsequently went to adjust the flash output, so I still didn't take it off timer. Hence I ended up making them pose for 20 unnecessary seconds. Sorry guys, thanks for being troopers
I like the close up crop better, as focusing in on the subjects, but a friend of mine (Danny) likes the backed off view, as he likes to see the environment they were in, so I'm including both :)
Waldameer doesn't have Fascination, which is too bad. Almost nowhere does anymore. But they do have a row of solo-player games that are similar, though lack the interactive and social nature of Fascination. This is called "3 in Line."
Summer, about 3 in the morning, and I could not sleep, so I grabbed the camera and headed off to see what I could find.... I was rewarded with a gorgeous sunrise.

Namibia.
Etosha National Park.
Etosha National Park is a national park in northwestern Namibia. The park was proclaimed a game reserve on March 22, 1907 in Ordinance 88 by the Governor of German South West Africa, Dr. Friedrich von Lindequist. It was designated as Wildschutzgebiet Nr. 2 which means Game Reserve Number 2, in numerical order after West Caprivi (Game Reserve No. 1) and preceding Namib Game Reserve (No. 3). In 1958, Game Reserve No. 2 became Etosha Game Park and was elevated to status of National Park in 1967 by an act of parliament of the Republic of South Africa which administered South-West Africa during that time.[1]
Etosha National Park spans an area of 22,270 square kilometres (8,600 sq mi) and gets its name from the large Etosha pan which is almost entirely within the park. The Etosha pan (4,760 square kilometres (1,840 sq mi)) covers 23% of the area of the total area of the Etosha National Park.[2] The park is home to hundreds of species of mammals, birds and reptiles, including several threatened and endangered species like the black rhinoceros.
The park is located in the Kunene region and shares boundaries with the regions of Oshana, Oshikoto and Otjozondjupa.

The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant. Its species name refers to its camel-like appearance and the patches of color on its fur. Its chief distinguishing characteristics are its extremely long neck and legs, its horn-like ossicones and its distinctive coat patterns. It stands 5–6 m (16–20 ft) tall and has an average weight of 1,600 kg (3,500 lb) for males and 830 kg (1,830 lb) for females. It is classified under the family Giraffidae, along with its closest extant relative, the okapi. The nine subspecies are distinguished by their coat patterns.
The species living in Etosha is G. c. angolensis.
Windows for Peace - Peace Museum Vienna
Vienna (OTS) - "The project 'Fenster für den Frieden - Windows for Peace' is a joint initiative between the Peace Museum Vienna, Blutgasse 3 in the 1st district and neighboring national and international businesses and organizations," says Liska Blodgett, President of Peace Museum Vienna Association. "Our exhibition, freely accessible for everyone, will represent heroes of peace, such as Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama, the Canonized Popes and of course Bertha von Suttner, Vienna's very own peace heroine. Our goal is from June 18, 2014 to present more than 150 peace heroes in the windows of Blutgasse.
As further locations are planned: Domgasse, Schulerstrasse, Grünangergasse, Franziskanerplatz, Stroblgasse and Singer Street ".
Dr. Ruiter-Birnbauer, former judge and co-founder of the Peace Museum Vienna, explaines further: "In our windows, in the heart of Vienna, we will portray the lives of people who have fought for peace. Our goal is by remembrance and explanation of the deeds of known and lesser-known peace-heroes to inspire people themselves to work for peace and tolerance. Also musicians such as Daniel Barenboim, John Lennon and Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens), known by their commitment for peace are part of the project".
Anton "Toni" Faber, Cathedral Priest of St. Stephen's in Vienna and friend of Peace Museum Vienna, supports our ambitious project enthusiastically. "The year 2014 is a very special launch for the Windows for Peace project because this is all about the 100th anniversary of Bertha von Suttner".
Liska Blodgett: "We have in this respect an exclusive Bertha von Suttner exhibition to commemorate this great peace hero".
Dr. Werner Horvath, a well-known Austrian artist and political painter, provides 10 of his most exclusive pictures for the Peace Museum Vienna. These have been presented on June 18 at 18.00 in a vernissage. "The images have strong relation to current world politics, especially on the subject of 'clash of civilizations''.

Die Fridays for Future -Bewegung ruft seit Monaten für jeden Freitag zum Schulstreik auf. Diese Umweltbewegung startete im August 2018 mit dem zunächst einsamen Protest der 16-jährigen Schülerin Greta Thunberg in Stockholm.
Dieser Freitag war der bisherige Höhepunkt der Fridays for Future -Bewegung.

Thursday, 10 August 2017: Kyoto
Started today early with a group meditation lesson - I couldn't get beyond 3 in my attempt to count up to 10 whilst thinking only about my breathing. Spent the rest of the day hopping on and off buses sightseeing - two shrines and the castle. Hot and sweaty work!
[We started off with Ryoan-ji (龍安寺)'s tranquil rock gardens, then back tracked to the Golden Pavilion at Kinkaku-ji (金閣寺). Lunch at a local udon noodle cafe, then back on the bus to Nijō Castle (二条城)- and its blissful water spraying leafy pergola arcades.]
Chilling out back at the hotel now before we head out for Teppanyaki dinner - tour leader Charlea has organised a veggie one for me. Yum yum.
Off to Hiroshima on the Shinkansen tomorrow - we spend most of the day on an island and at the shrine over the water there (I forget the name), and we go to the Peace Museum later in the afternoon.
Will need a holiday to recover from this one :)
A little later...
Teppanyaki this evening was great. We are both *stuffed*.

Meet Doug. I had seen Doug on several occasion in my favorite Bagel/Coffee shop, and he was usually studying his Bible. I felt that this would be a great way to establish a connection with him because I have been meaning to get back to reading my Bible on a more regular basis. We had a great, short, conversation about our Churches, this project, and how history and science has been affected by Christianity. Rick Sammon points out that your subject in portraits is actually reflecting you, and you can certainly see that in this picture. I think you can feel the nature of a thoughtful conversation from this portrait.
I had pre-visualized a couple of different angles and shots, but none of them worked out the way I had hoped. Instead, this shot, just straight on, with his eyes on the "golden ratio" line seemed to be the most interesting, and truest to what was happening at that moment.

This is set 1 of 3.
In support of their latest album "Sounds of the Universe", Depeche Mode performed their "Tour of the Universe" at the Key Arena in Seattle, Washington on August 10, 2009. Their opening band was Peter, Bjorn and John. I had seats in section BB, row 16.
Toward the end of the show, Dave's voice started to sound a bit strained. As it turned out, the next two shows had to be canceled because of this voice strain.

This was the 24th time that I've been privileged enough to see them perform live.
Ciclotimici presenta "3 in 1", spettacolo con tre atti unici di Luigi Pirandello: "L'uomo dal fiore in bocca", "La patente" e "Cecè". Regia di Simão Do Vale e con Alessandra Deffacis, Anna Fantozzi, Nicolò Prestigiacomo e Simão Do Vale. “Ma dimmi un po’, non è uno strazio pensare che tu vivi sparpagliato in centomila?” Le opere teatrali di Pirandello, spesso intese dai suoi contemporanei come filosofiche si presentano oggi a noi con una (apparente) chiarezza che si dissolve velocemente nella complessità umana dei personaggi, nelle loro sfumature intense e nelle ragnatele disegnate dalle loro coscienze. L’autore stesso rinnegava un’eventuale responsabilità filosofica, affermando d’aver: “Inteso sempre e soltanto di fare arte, secondo le mie possibilità e non filosofia”. Una forma di modestia molto particolare per un autore che aveva il totale dominio degli strumenti teatrali: un uomo che riconosceva in vita che “La grandezza del mio lavoro, la potenza dell’opera mia, da tutti in segreto e con dispetto riconosciuta, liberata dagli odii del tempo sarà proclamata e rifulgerà come un sole” quando “Il sole io non lo vedrò più, e non udrò più nulla, e avrò la bocca piena di terra, che sarà peggio di questo veleno di cui me la riempiono oggi”. Non è solo la filosofia pirandelliana a incuriosirci, ma anche l’abilità dell’autore nell’usare il teatro, i suoi spazi e i suoi corpi per mettere dinanzi ai nostri occhi oggetti artistici che sono molto di più della semplice necessità di sopravvivenza dei suoi personaggi. L’uomo dal fiore in bocca, Rosario Chiàrchiaro e Cecè rappresentano tre esistenze che cercano di sopravvivere oltrepassando i limiti dei loro naturali modi d’agire, che vanno in cerca di un’integrità che ci si presenta continuamente minacciata di distruzione (sia dal suo stesso potere, sia dall’ambiente circostante). Ognuno di loro tre, però, cerca la sua particolare via d’uscita. Quattro attori in cerca di tre atti unici, in uno spettacolo, il loro primo allestimento. Siamo inevitabilmente davanti a una necessità imposta (o auto-imposta?) di traslocare costantemente, di proteggere la nostra casetta, come una chiocciola, di farci avvolgere da un materiale che protegga dallo shock e di “fare per non smettere di pensare”. È solo una condizione che si accetta... e si rinnega. Si rinnega e si accetta, in una ciclotimia dell’abitare. Luigi Pirandello ci offre la possibilità di addentrarci in delle complesse concatenazioni di significati, di verità e bugie, di allegrie e tristezze, di catene sociali e libertà individuali, di serietà e follia. È un gioco perenne tra dramma e commedia, che confonde quasi sempre i limiti dell’uno e dell’altra. “L’uomo dal fiore in bocca”, “La patente” e “Cecè” ci hanno messo davanti alla possibilità di analizzare temi tanto diversi quanto l’imminenza della morte e i piccoli piaceri che ci tengono vivi, la disgrazia di una famiglia vittima della superstizione e i movimenti di sopravvivenza di qualcuno imprigionato dal proprio modo di vivere e di essere.
