spent the memorial day weekend at a friend´s home in upstate NY and this cute little fellow, seen here, is his public enemy number1. Our friend really enjoys bird watching and has several bird feeders filled with different types of feed for the many varieties of birds that are indigenous to the area. He has tried just about everything to keep this little guy away, by installing pressure sensitive feeders that will spin with the slightest weight to greasing the poles from which they hang; yet this fellow always finds a way to outsmart him and get to the feed.
I fear for his life and hate to imagine just what measures our friend might one day resort to if his buttons are pushed too far
Time is always the enemy. We always want to go back in time, slow it down, speed it up, or stop it all together. There's rarely a moment where we accept time and really enjoy it as it ticks away at it's own speed. Was there ever that someone that made you want to speed up the time when they weren't with you, so the moment they'd see you next would come faster? Did you wish you could slow time down whenever you glanced at the clock and realized they were leaving in 10 minutes? Have you ever wanted to stop time during those moments when you laid beside each other and they told you those things that made you feel invincible? But what about now? Are you just stuck, longing to go back in time? I bet you want go back when they looked at you with those beautiful eyes of theirs, smiled and didn't need to say a word - you already knew what they were thinking. And tell me, are you guilty of wishing to go back and make it so you two never even happened? Don't be sorry. I know that's not what you really want. It's just your angry, broken heart. And I'm sure sometimes it seems that time shows no sympathy for you and your heart. But you see, time really does heal all wounds - even if yours seems to never cease from bleeding. You will experience that rare moment of acceptance. So don't be scared to let time tick away. Let whatever is meant to happen, happen.

“The greatest challenge for me is to keep improving every aspect of the compositions and arrangements,” says ARCH ENEMY founder/guitarist Michael Amott about new album, War Eternal. “I’m always searching for ‘the perfect ARCH ENEMY song.’ When I started the band in 1995 I had the idea to create the most heavy melodic band of all time.”
And he did. Over the course of 19 years, ARCH ENEMY, under Amott’s guidance, crafted 10 acclaimed full-lengths, dominated sales charts, and toured the globe. If Amott were a smart man, he’d retire now to some tropical island with his favorite Michael Schenker records in tow and the setting sun on his face. But neither he nor ARCH ENEMY are done. Not by a long shot.
With vocalist Alissa White-Gluz replacing long-time frontwoman Angela Gossow in 2014 respectively, War Eternal is ARCH ENEMY reborn. “Changes in the band lineup are hardly ever looked upon favorably by the fans,” Amott acknowledges, “which I completely understand. Nonetheless, it does happen and the changes that have been made in the ARCH ENEMY camp were necessary in order for the band to survive and keep going. I love the energy of working with new people and Alissa has certainly brought a lot of talent and enthusiasm to the band!”
When Amott recruited Angela Gossow to front ARCH ENEMY for the Wages of Sin effort, he changed extreme metal forever. With White-Gluz, he has a new weapon. She’s a veritable firebrand on War Eternal, her unrelenting roar, cruel rasp and unique looks are the mark of a woman ready to conquer the world. “My goal is to keep ARCH ENEMY alive and thriving!” White-Gluz exclaims. “I want to open a whole new chapter for ARCH ENEMY, powerful and diverse, all the while respecting the legions of fans that love traditional ARCH ENEMY. Fans can expect loads of pure fucking metal.”
At 13 tracks, War Eternal is the quintessential ARCH ENEMY album. It’s both a nostalgic nod to the band’s past (“Never Forgive, Never Forget”, “No More Regrets”) and stunning example of what’s possible in the future (“Down to Nothing”, “Time is Black”). But if there’s a standout track—a spearhead—it’s the title song. Unveiled to the world on Youtube, “War Eternal” marches defiantly against the mundane, two raised fists to the constraints of society and the cage it desperately tries to put on us all. In it, White-Gluz proves she’s the next generation of great, while Amott and the rest of ARCH ENEMY play as if ”War Eternal” is their last song. That ”War Eternal” amassed an astonishing 1.5 million views the first 10 days is telling of its conviction and power. “There are a lot of details in this album that excite me as a songwriter and guitarist,” Amott grins. “Personally, I’ve pushed myself harder as player on War Eternal and feel I’ve gone to another level this time, which is very rewarding. I actually think the whole band has kicked everything up a notch or two.”
Produced by the band and mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Paradise Lost) at Fascination Street Studio, the Swedes’ 10th full-length is unrelentingly brutal yet remarkably polished. “We could afford any big name producer at this stage in the game,” says Amott. “Having the band produce the album was a natural and logical way of working for us at this point. It was critical that we bring out the true ARCH ENEMY sound, the essence of the band on this record and who knows that better than us? Jens Bogren did an outstanding mixing and mastering the album. It was my first time working with him and I am more than impressed with his talent.”
The album was hailed as “Album Of The Month” in Terrorizer (UK), Powerplay (UK), Metal Hammer (Germany), Rock Hard (France), Metallian (France), Scream (Norway), Sweden Rock (Sweden) and got more than positive reviews all over the world; additionally, War Eternal achieved career-best chart positions for the band in the USA (#44), Germany (#9), Finland (#5), France (#56), and The Netherlands (#36), plus the best UK chart entry (#85) since Doomsday Machine (#81). ARCH ENEMY were also honored to appear on the front covers of Revolver (USA), Legacy (Germany), Rock Hard (France), Inferno (Finland), Up (Netherlands), Aardschok (Netherlands), Metal Maniac (Italy),Pro Rock (Bulgaria), Into The Pit (Thailand) and many more magazines.
Right after the release of War Eternal, the band kicked off their eternal touring with sublime festival shows at Wacken, Sweden Rock and many more, followed by a world tour with Kreator (with whom they released a split 7” single later in October 2014).
During the USA headline tour with Kreator, the band decided to part ways with guitarist Nick Cordle.
Christopher Amott (the brother of ARCH ENEMY founder/bandleader Michael Amott) joined the band for the remainder of their American headlining tour and Jeff Loomis (ex-Nevermore) stepped in for the following European dates with Kreator. Jeff will continue for another busy year in 2015 and beyond.
Jeff Loomis states: "I'm very excited to be playing with ARCH ENEMY. Michael Amott and I have stayed in contact over the years since we toured together when I was playing in Nevermore. Not only do I admire his guitar playing and songwriting, but I also consider him a close friend. To be able to share the stage with Michael, Sharlee, Daniel and Alissa is something I'm really looking forward to. 2015 is going to be a great year... See you all on tour!"
Michael Amott (guitars) comments: "The prospect of working with Jeff Loomis moving forward is truly awesome! Jeff Loomis is one of the best guitar players in the metal world in my opinion, as well as being a long time friend. I look forward to tearing it up on stages around the world together as we continue on the ‘War Eternal' touring cycle throughout all next year and beyond!"
There is no doubt that ARCH ENEMY are stronger than ever before. And the war is not over yet.
Milly is having hard times fighting against one of the cat's archer enemies, the lace.

65th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, front line, in the Battle of the Kumsong Salient about a week to week and one-half before Dick Gallmeyer radioed the "Cease fire" that ended the shooting phase of the Korean War on 27 July 1953.
Following massive attacks by the Chinese Communist Forces (CCF) that had literally destroyed some U.N. units, and forced the MLR southward by several miles in but a few days time, our 3rd Infantry Division was sent into the battle as a blocking action. The CCF ran up against the 3rd Division and was stopped. The 3rd Division historian, W.F. Strobridge, stated, "The enemy offensive ran up against the 3rd Division and stopped.... The 65th Regiment took an estimated 20,000 rounds of enemy artillery and kept its ground."
For geographical location, please see my "Map: Korean War, Battle of the Kumsong Salient, July 1953 " further down the page.
This photo shows 65th IR bunkers, tents, and other shelters on the sharp ridge crest that constituted the front line. If you look carefully, you can see an artillery forward observer on the rocky knoll near the center of the photo, spotting CCF targets for our artillery to fire upon. My brother-in-law, Jerry Hartman, a 105mm howitzer gunner with the 58th FAB, and I visited with the forward observer for a while. He pointed out to us the flashes of CCF howitzers that were firing at our lines. All the mountains out in front of us were CCF territory. The white smoke on the left side of the photo is from one of our artillery rounds exploding on a CCF position across the "No-mans-land" valley floor that separated the U.N. and CCF.
Across the "No-mans-land" valley, just to the right of the rocky knoll in the photo, is Hill 433 where American and ROK forces known as the "Lost Bastards" were trapped by the CCF. They were rescued on 20 July, 1953, very near to the time I took this photo.
Behind us, in the valley to our south, our 3rd Division artillery units were engaged in heavy fire missions supporting our troops on the MLR. From that valley came the continual lightning flashes of our howitzers, and the rumbling thunder of their barrages. For me, standing on that mountain ridge absorbing the thunder of our power, hearing our artillery rounds whooshing directly over our heads to then explode on CCF positions, sensing the very mountain quaking with the thunder of America's power, and witnessing our troops holding the line, was an awe-inspiring experience.
I've often thought of that experience down through the years. Today, even after the passage of nearly 60 years, it yet remains the single-most inspiring day of my life.
Today, both "The Land That Time Forgot" and "The People That Time Forgot" are fan favorites and hold a special 'cult' status among film buffs. I just goes to show that sometimes great films
don't need huge budgets to succeed, just dinosaurs and sexy cave women.

Story
In the year 1916 during WW1, an Allied vessel carrying civilians, the SS Montrose, is torpedoed by a German submarine. The survivors manage to board the sub and successfully take control of it. After the two sides continuously plot to overthrow the other, the group become lost. With supplies and fuel dwindling, the two opposing factions decide to work together. They find a strange continent in the icy region of the Atlantic ocean, but strangely, the water surrounding it is warm. Christened Caprona by an early Italian navigator named Caproni, the ice encroached island has no place to land. Traversing a winding underwater cavern, the U-boat ascends into a river.
The group find themselves in a strange land filled with prehistoric creatures. With dangers lurking at every turn, the lost travelers haven't enough fuel for a return trip. The group journey North across the land of Caprona in search of fuel. The further north they go, the more highly advanced the creatures and inhabitants become. They later find crude oil deposits and build
machinery with which to refine the lubricant for use in the subs engines. Attempting to leave, the mysterious volcanic continent threatens to rip itself apart to keep the involuntarily exiled travelers from escaping The Land That Time Forgot.
The set design is amazing with the makers getting full use out of Shepperton Studios, the home of Amicus. Some years later, the famed Pinewood Studios would acquire Shepperton. The Director of Photography on LAND, Alan Hume, does an admirable job capturing the colorful landscapes and fauna of the lost world of Caprona. Hume also took the job of DP on the three other Connor directed monster movies. Hume would later perform photographic duties on several of the Bond pictures in addition to the comedic prehistoric opus, CAVEMAN (1981) starring Ringo Starr among a cast of other recognizable faces.
The first in a series of popular fantasy adventure movies from the team of producer John Dark and director Kevin Conner. A highly ambitious British film from Amicus Productions, the chief rival to Hammer Films. Hammer had done their own series of prehistoric epics beginning with ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. (1966). That film featured stop motion animation by famed animator Ray Harryhausen. The film was so successful a follow-up was ordered albeit somewhat hesitantly considering the length of time it took for the stop motion effects to be created.
Doug McClure leads the cast to Caprona in a role that suits his former cowboy persona on THE VIRGINIAN television program. McClure replaced Stuart Whitman who was originally cast. Apparently, Whitman never received his full compensation to not participate in the picture and McClure was a likewise unwanted commodity as well. At the time, he was going through a divorce and a spate of drinking which kept him in a volatile mood from time to time. However, according to Susan Penhaligon, McClure was always a gentleman with her. McClure is very good and any hint of rambunctious behavior behind the scenes isn't evident in his pulpy performance.
McClure would take the lead role for AT THE EARTH'S CORE (1976), in which he would be paired with a rather spunky Peter Cushing. In 1977's THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT, McClure took a 'Guest Star' credit and only appears during the finale although he's the main focus of the story when Patrick Wayne journey's to Caprona to rescue him. It's the only film in the series that is a direct link with one of the other pictures. The fourth film, WARLORDS OF ATLANTIS (1978), isn't a Burroughs tale and also isn't an Amicus picture. Columbia handled distribution in the US.
In the early 1970s’ Amicus Pictures (Owned by Milton Subotsky and Max J Rosenberg) decided to pump some life into the declining British fantasy film industry by bringing the works of Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs to the big screen. At about the same time the film company’s rival, Hammer, had abandoned its standard horror films for features starring half naked women in an attempt to put more bodies in the seats. Amicus felt that the time seemed right for a series of films based on Burroughs strait forward action tales to fill the cinematic void.
The first of the four Burrough’s stories to be produced by Amicus would be an adaptation of the short story “The Land That Time Forgot” which was first published in Blue Book Magazine in 1918. Milton Subotsky had first penned a screenplay for the film back in the early 1960s’ but his first draft was initially rejected by the late Burrough’s estate. It was under their prodding that the script was rewritten by Jim Cawthorn and Michael Moorcock. Their dialogue heavy, light on the action script however didn’t meet Subotsky’s approval, so it was reworked yet again.
"The Land that Time Forgot" began production at Pinewood Studios in April 1974 with a meager $750,000 budget that had been put up by American International Pictures in exchange for the American distribution rights. This extremely low budget forced the film-makers to settle for cost cutting measures in the effects department. Hand puppets were used for the films dinosaurs in many scenes where costly stop motion animation had intended to be used. The effect looks
primitive when compared to modern CGI effects, but for the time period in which it was created, these effects in "The Land That Time Forgot" fared well against most rival productions.
Script problems and hand held dino’s were not the only problems the production would face in its early stages. Originally Stuart Whitman was cast as the American engineer Bowen Tyler, but Samuel Arkoff of AIP protested. Their next choice, Doug McClure, finally agreed to take the role after initially passing on it. McClure was billed as the perfect leading man by director Kevin Connor. McClure had earned a reputation as a marketable lead on the TV Western “The Virginian.” On the set however, McClure earned another type of reputation after his tendency to hit the bottle caused him to miss a couple of days shooting and punch a hole in producer Johnny Dark’s office door. Despite this McClure was considered a nice guy by his costars. He even held the hand of a nervous Susan Penhaligon (cast as biologist Lisa Clayton) during the explosions of the films volcano erupting climax. John McEnry, who played the German U-boat Captain von Schoverts, was continually acting up on the set due to his belief that the production was beneath him as an actor. This lead to his voice being dubbed over by Anton Diffrin due to his demeanor and lackluster tone. Aside from this however none of the other off screen troubles manifested themselves in the finished product.
The films plot is a strait forward Burroughs adventure story.
John McEnery, who plays the somewhat honorable Captain Von Shoenvorts, the leader of the German forces, was dubbed by Anton Diffring. The first 15 or 20 minutes of the film are very well handled, having the American and British survivors take command of the Nazi sub only to have the Germans take the vessel back, only to lose it once more. During the final switch, the Allied survivors get some poetic justice on their German captors. When the sub is to rendezvous with a Nazi supply ship, Tyler quietly launches torpedoes destroying the enemy vessel in recompense for the prior destruction of the civilian ship.
Anthony Ainley as Dietz is the true antagonist of the picture. He appears to have much respect for his Captain, but at the beginning after the Germans have sunk the civilian vessel, Dietz asks if there is an order to surface to look for survivors. Capt. Von Shoenvorts declines, yet Dietz responds with, "Survivors may live to fight another day." The Captain then says, "They are in enough trouble already...besides, these were civilians." As the Captain walks away there is a look of unmitigated and deceitful envy on the face of Dietz.
He secretly harbors desires to command his own unit and this materializes during the finale when Dietz shoots his Captain and takes over the doomed submarine. Ainley played a much different character in THE BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW (1971) in which he played a priest who is seduced by a harbinger of the Devil.
Derek Meddings was in charge of special effects on the picture and his work here would foreshadow some great things to come. Meddings would tackle effects chores on a number of big movies including a slew of the James Bond movies and big budgeted fantasy pictures such as SUPERMAN 1 and 2, KRULL and the 1989 version of BATMAN.
Monster designer Roger Dicken was in charge of the ambitious dinosaur sequences seen in THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT. He also created special effects for several Hammer films including WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH (1970) in which Dicken worked alongside fellow luminaries, Jim Danforth and Dave Allen. Dicken was Danforth's assistant here but on LAND, Dicken was on his own.
Douglas Gamley composed the score which has that Amicus sound to it, but given the nature of the film, Gamley peppers the score with at least one rousing composition which is saved for the finale. The scene in question has Tyler and Lisa racing back to the refinery as the land explodes around them. The group has left without them, though. As the U-boat makes its way back across the now burning river, Tyler and Lisa watch as the sub is destroyed from the boiling water and overwhelming heat.
During the finale, Caprona (described as a gigantic volcanic crater) begins to seemingly erupt destroying life on the island. In the third film, also during the finale, Tyler tells his friend, McBride that the land is alive and will stop their escape. Tyler states that the volcano controls everything. This adds a mystical element to the narrative making Caprona a living character. Taking what is said by Tyler in the third film, the erupting of the volcano in LAND seems to be in retaliation against the stranded travelers attempting to escape the island. By destroying the sub and its inhabitants, Caprona's secret remains hidden away from the eyes of modern man. The film ends as it began, with Tyler tossing a canister with notes detailing Caprona and the creatures residing therein.
The survivors of a torpedoed allied cargo ship turn the tables on their German attackers and seize control of their U-boat. The ever scheming German crew manage to damage the ships compass and instead of steaming to a neutral port, the group finds itself off the coast of the legendary island of Caprona, where time has stood still since prehistoric times. Forced to venture ashore in search of food, supplies and fuel, the crew encounters a bevy of dinosaurs that intend on making sure no one escapes alive. As in all good adventure stories of this type, just about everything and everyone the group encounters is set on doing them mortal harm and danger lies behind every turn. The groups focus is a simple a straight forward one, keep from being eaten and figure out a way to get off the island before it consumed in a river of molten rock. Seems all good dinosaur flicks have to end in some kind of volcanic catastrophe, and this film is no exception, even though Moorcock had originally written it with a different ending.
James Cawthorn (1929-2008) Artist
Jim Cawthorn is best known to Burroughs fans for his early work on the British fanzine Burroughsiana, edited by Michael Moorcock from 1956-1958, and for Erbania, edited by Pete Ogden during the same period. He also illustrated for Tarzan Adventures, a series of Tarzan comics interspersed with other stories and articles, also edited by Michael Moorcock. The series was reprinted by Savoy in 1977.
American Burroughs fans were generally unfamiliar with the British Tarzan publications before the Internet came onto the scene, but they are certainly familiar with the film production of The Land That Time Forgot, for which Jim Cawthorn and Michael Moorcock wrote the screenplay.
This Amicus film starred Doug McClure, making his first appearance in a British film under the auspices of American International Pictures, Inc. Cawthorn is reported to have been dissatisfied with the changes made to their screenplay which was written and signed on October, 1973, and which was filmed a year later. Besides changing names, characters and situations, they blew up Caprona which did not sit well with most American fans.
Cawthorn had produced many unpublished comic strips, including The Land That Time Forgot, and was working on A Princess of Mars when he died on December 2, 2008. He and Moorcock edited Fantasy: The 100 Best Books, published in London by Xanadu in 1988.
Cawthorn had many admirers, including Tarzan artist Burne Hogarth who wrote that the young artist’s work had a quality "most compelling and fascinating... He has an authentic talent." Of the many Cawthorn illustrations available for viewing, we found an early (1958) original in the Burroughs Memorial Collection which he drew for one of Maurice B. Gardner’s Bantan books.
However far apart, our mornings are probably just the same. There's that sting in the eyes you feel as soon as you open them and that blatant pain that keeps on spreading from your lower back all the way up to your shoulders and head. And, finally, the realization that nothing will change, not even today - in the exact same order as the years before, you'll have some pastry and coffee for breakfast, a tense stomach until noon, and a fuzzy head throughout the day.

Once a young white wizard, Alistan Cresalle was fond of traveling to far-off countries in order to learn about their protective and healing spells. On one of his journeys, he happened upon an unmarked tomb hidden deep within a forest off the coast of Baldeballa. For a week he camped outside the tomb, trying to find a way inside either by sorcery or force. Eventually, the tomb opened through the use of an unlocking spell that lasted over half a day. Once inside, Alistan found the remains of a man and a women, along with their burial objects. Among these objects was the most sought after book of black magik ever in existance, the Book of Black Names. All wizards had heard of it and knew its description, though only a few still believed the book to be real or to have ever existed at all.
Astounded that the book actually existed, Alistan carefully packed it among his belongings and started off to return to the comfort of his residency. During the journey home, Alistan became curious as to what was written within the tome, and before resting for the night, would quietly read through its pages, hoping that by knowing his enemy, he could better ward off black magik. Not realizing the true power of the book, Alistan became enthralled with the knowledge it contained, and began practicing its basic rituals. In doing so, the tome drew him deeper into its pages, and his need to bathe in its power became greater. He quickly forgot that he was traveling home, and soon after, that he was a white wizard. Within a couple days of traveling, he had completely forgotten his name and previous training. The book eventually took his soul.
Adopting the new magical name of Azog-Soth-Yog, he continued to wander the forest, eating the most rotten fruits and meats. His complexion, once fair and porcelain, became hardened and rough, changing to a dark red color. His features contorted, and his limbs and torso were as tough as tree bark, covered in bumps and calloused protrusions. Azog continues living with the forests of Baldeballa, though easily travels to other lands through the use of his black magik. Azog magikally tied a linen belt around his waist so that it could never be removed, upon which he smears the blood of each of his victims. Those unfortunate enough to cross his path, are subject to the most unspeakable acts ever uttered. One small group of people in the town of Vadilais, say they witnessed Azog kill a man on the outskirts of their town, resurrect him afterward, and kill him again, continuously without interruption for 7 days. Afterward, Azog left and never returned to their land. He is known by most as "The Soul-Eater" and has not yet met his match in a magikal battle.
A consortium of wizards; white, black and grey, have formed to find a way to finally end his foul existence.
The manner in which some gardeners persecute, destroy and kill creatures from the gardens horrifies me.
These creatures were created by God for a purpose.

Those two Miniature Australian Shepherds were gorgeous, but the only issue was that they kept charging at Chuppy and barking at him. Poor boy of mines kept losing sight of the ball because whenever they would bark, Chuppy would jump a little, whimper, and look back at me. (Then lost the ball, but the waves brought it back, a relief!) At the beach, Chuppy doesn't care to interact with the dogs, he's more focused on fetching the ball. The odd thing is that the dogs come to him, but Chuppy just ignores them. In some cases, other dogs would steal his ball, and Chuppy would have to chase them and steal it back.
These two enemies finally left around in middle of our beach fun. Finally, Chuppy could resume in his mission!
