EQ DENIAL: I was gonna write a journal entry about it first, wait I have to take a shower first, lmao..
.@NYGovCuomo on #earthquake: "no reports of damage to buildings, bridges, roads, power grids, the Indian Point nuclear power plant."
http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23Earthquake
I'm sorry, (is it me?) because I've been in a bad mood, five minutes ago, I just felt this building I live in SWAY and I live Kingston, NY in the Hudson Valley area. They are reports of a small Earthquake in NYC. You know the first thing I thought, was duh, log out of my online accounts, instead of running. I got my escape route planned as when I was 13 (1983) living in NYC there was very minor EQ that woke me up, from there on in I had my escape route planned: Run out my moms apartment, run down the street, jump over the Central Park wall, and stand in the middle of the park and hope for the best. It is common knowledge that NYC straight up to the Hudson Valley area is on a fault line. I don't feel safe with Indian Point open.
The earth quake is originating from Virginia/Washington DC area. I might pack my bags a go out of state mid west, if I come back, who cares, stay away from buildings, be in open space.
That's why my spelling sucks, I was thinking damn, I can't write and concentrate because the building is swaying. East Coast EQ?
EQ's have been the talk of the year with Japan's Earthquake/Tsunami crisis and matter of fact debate over Nuclear Power plants near fualt lines (Indian Point, New York), major tornadoes in the USA this past spring, and be prepared, a class four hurricane on it's way to the USA named "Irene".
According to this Purple Strategies analysis of Radian6 data, there were 743,000 online posts mentioning "earthquake" as of 2:48 p.m. ET and 96.7% of the public conversation took place on Twitter.
#BREAKINGNEWS 5.8-mag #earthquake hits near Washington DC, felt in NY. NYC City Hall and Pentagon being evacuated

The good thing about earthquakes is once one hits, there will be many more and you won't know they are coming. #yourfucked

EDITORS NOTE:Good to hear PUBLIC ENEMY performing "it Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" and "Fear Of a Black Planet" are two of my fave all time rap releases.
Rap pioneers PUBLIC ENEMY invited a special guest on stage to rage at the SUNSET MUSIC FESTIVAL 8/20/2011: Scott Ian of ANTHRAX as Scott has collaborated with PUBLIC ENEMY on the track "Bring The Noize" covered on the ANTHRAX release "Attack Of The Killer Bees".
FROM SCOTT IAN:
"We hit it HARD!!!
"The crowd was nuts, a sea of jumpers and Chuck and Flav matched them step for step.
"I got to rap the third verse sandwiched by Chuck on my right and Flav on my left.
"To get to rap this with them is always surreal for me. I am not a rapper, but I know that song and when I'm on stage doing it face to face with PE, it's adrenalizing."
Regarding ITP V.011 Metal News features, I'm sorry for the delay, just getting acclimated with some things in my life. ITP V.011 THE ART OF DANCE and ITP V.011 UNCOVERED will be posted THURSDAY. HUMANITY IS DOOMED (DOOM METAL NEWS) will be posted on FRIDAY along with a hopefully ITP V.011 reviews schedule: FRIDAY, SATURDAY and SUNDAY.
ITP V.011 REVIEWS will be coming up this later today with a review of ULCERATE: THE DESTROYERS OF ALL. From this weekend and on, ITP REVIEWS will be on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (time permitting).
It's time to get to WORK on ITP V.011, long hours as it will be. HUMANITY IS DOOMED (DOOM METAL NEWS) will be posted on FRIDAY.
Yes, I said I would do this late last year, and it is officially DONE. ITP's author JUST started an account for this blog on TWITTER. Again, I just started the ITP V.011 TWITTER account in JUNE, so it will take me a while to build a following and to follow others. Keep in mind I'm a NUBIE to TWITTER as I will have an secondary private TWITTER account for myself. I'm digging TWITTER already.
Do NOT add ITP V.011 if you're a phisher or SPAM BOT, because we hate that crap.
Look to the RIGHT of this journal (DISCLAIMER) for ITP V.011 anticipated weekly review schedule..
Please TWEET me your band news and tour dates @ITPV011, send me a bulletin or message to SWORDSANDGRAVES@MYSPACE or add me on MYSPACE, TWITTER or Individual Thought Patterns V.011 on FACEBOOK.
:Looks to the RIGHT of ITP V.011: I've also added ITP V.011 on a NETWORK of Extreme Metal blogs VIA FACEBOOK and BLOGSPOT entitled NETWORKED BLOGS, hit me up for an add as I don't want to lose touch with my metal compadres and I want to meet new metal heads as I really do enjoy the extreme metal bloggers on BLOGSPOT and elsewhere on the net.
All bands on MYSPACE add me on Theresa Geteles FACEBOOK and I might even start a secondary FACEBOOOK account.
So please, all friends on MYSPACE for SWORDSANDGRAVES, ITP V.011 on FACEBOOK, BLOGGED, BLOGCATALOG and technorati.com follow ITP V.011 on TWITTER.

**** (4 stars)=very good, well worth the purchase
*** 1/2 (3 1/2 stars)=Good, standard fare, for fans and not new converts
*** (3 stars)=Good, but flawed, no progression here
** 1/2 (2 1/2 stars)=Bordering on mediocrity, band is overrated
** (two stars)=somewhere between mediocre and SUKETH
* 1/2 (1 1/2 stars)= SUKETH (this release SUCKS)
* (one star)=Awful, this CD can only be used as a beer coaster or a Frisbee.

ITP V.20/21's author writes alone, and always has. ITP V.020/21s TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS (and copy written) as ITP V.020/21 is a media partner for the music/metal industry and under fair use promoting music.

ITP RESERVES SOME RIGHTS AS IN "FAIR USE" IN THE CONTEXT OF MUSIC, METAL and ENTERTAINMENT PROMOTION AND REVIEWS.
SOME RIGHTS RESERVED WITHOUT PREJUDICE Protect Yourself
BTW, ITP was EDITED in FULL (the entire journal in 2013 (Years ago-ITP looks and reads different huh?.
BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond.
A couple of issues I would like to address:
ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you.
ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like.
It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful.
ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox.
I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. .
ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal..
There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist.
A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues.
Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right.
ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal.
ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label.
BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/
