Charitable Superlatives

Everyday, people are exposed to a barrage of news. Violence, crime, energy shortages, and other disasters seem to happen every other day. The message is sometimes that you must give in order to care. Do not let your sympathies override your senses of judgment and curiosity. The gullible and the blindly compassionate will fork over their hard earned dollars and cents to the various name brand charities that dot our social landscapes. These organizations promise to put the money towards good causes and uses. What you should consider is this mob of charitable groups racketeer the world’s crises and concerns. Their long financial arms and lack of oversight allow them to pick and choose which causes warrant the most attention.

Dy-no-mite!

Sifting through the hype and fluff of consumer explosives is a daunting task. Everyone has got something to sell you, from high power thermite charges to RDX infused armadillos. It's hard to be sure of what you really need. For a newbie to the land of pyrotechnics, The Axis of Stevil recommends Napoleon Brand Dynamite.

“Whether you are tunneling through a mountain or quieting your neighbor’s car stereo, Napoleon Dynamite is the right choice for all your incendiary needs; the only brand preferred two to one by co-op diamond miners worldwide. Made from only the finest hard-shelled algae, carbonates and glycerins, Napoleon Dynamite sticks are guaranteed to crush stones and break bones.

“Climb The World”

Katharsis

Featured Feb 20 – Apr 7, 2006

Based in Greenville, North Carolina, Katharsis’s highly melodic and entertaining rock broke through the music scene in 2005. The band was originally formed in 2000 by Garret Bissonnette, who had moved to Greenville for education, and Patrick Spohr. Bissonnette and Spohr were later joined by drummer Cory Granger, and bassist Eric Pyburn. They began a non-stop gigging schedule on the local rock circuit.While appearing in the “Battle of The Bands” August 2005 Katharsis found front man Ean Hirst. Just after three months of writing, the band’s self-released single “Climb The World” hit the streets. The band’s popularity continues to grow, owing to support slots with several leading musicians. The band developed a reputation for being respectable with a very professional manner while producing a steady flow of new material.
