Finally, there is the contention that non-conventional forms of religiosity become more popular during periods of 'rapid social change' or 'cultural unrest, with Bryan Wilson (1959) for example arguing that 'sects' (including those of a New Age variety) 'proliferate in periods of social unrest' and Lars Johansson (1994) suggests that 'In times of rapid social and cultural change, when people experience a dissonance between observed reality and the beliefs and values of their culture and the established religions, we find an increased interest in mysticism.'

Man Slices Butt Over Puppy
An 18-year-old Bloomington, Indiana, woman was treated at an area hospital for an 8- to 9-inch cut to her buttocks.
The woman alleges that she visited Ashunti Taylor, 26, to see a puppy. Mr. Taylor became agitated over items the puppy had chewed. When the woman threatened to leave with the puppy, he attacked her with a samurai-style sword.
Mr. Taylor is in custody on a $10,000 bond. Police say the puppy was unhurt.

So what is the relationship between 'butt' and 'buttocks' anyway?

The issue of Schubert's sexuality and his music is often discussed in dubious quasi-Freudian terms, to do with mapping particular constructions of desire onto the musical structure. But there is another way of looking at it which avoids such essentialism: simply to draw attention to the experience of one of same-sex preferences in certain types of society, the forms of ostracisation, self-denial that might be forced upon them by such conditions (I'm aware that this is a somewhat ambiguous matter in Schubert's Vienna in the early 1800s, when 'homosexuality' was little developed as a concept), and the result in terms of their own wider outlook and sensibility. I would have imagined it's not that controversial to suggest that the latter frequently filters through into a composer's creative work.

No, I'm sorry, Megadeth are indeed the true precursors of what some call 'old school' or 'kwality' death metal.

"The value of your investment may go down as well as up" (for which read "your investment may go up, in which case it will irrecoverably have gone down").
"Many people think that the principal fault lies with the FSA, but few of those people are sure whether they mean the Financial Services Authority, the Food Standards Agency or the Foundation for Sport and the Arts (obviously in that order)"...
Best,
Alistair

I found Warsaw as a city a little dispiriting - there's still a lot of brutal Stalinist architecture and the corporate architecture that is replacing it is no less brutal, in its own way. But the enthusiasm of the Poles (at least the ones I met) for being part of a new Europe is infectious and touching.
