Everything for the unregulated markets. God bless the unregulated markets. The unregulated markets are all that is important. The unregulated markets are democracy. The unregulated markets are America. The unregulated markets are your God whether you know it or not.

National borders hinder the unregulated markets so national borders must go. Social programs hinder the unregulated markets so social programs must go. Consumer protections hinder the unregulated markets so consumer protections must go. Anti-trust laws hinder the markets so anti-trust laws must go. Civil liberties hinder the unregulated markets so civil liberties must go. Educated populations hinder the unregulated markets so the educated public must go. Labor unions hinder the unregulated markets so labor unions must go. Minimum wage laws hinder the unregulated markets so minimum wage laws must go. Nationalized central banks hinder the unregulated markets so nationalized central banks must go.

Your primative constitution hinders the unregulated markets so your primative constitution must go.

Got it? Good. Now sacrifice your kid’s future to the unregulated markets. Sacrifice your retirement. Sacrifice you earnings and your health and your common sense. Sacrifice your quality of life, your freedoms, your paycheck. Sacrifice critical thinking, logic, reason. Sacrifice it all for the unregulated markets.

You will serve the unregulated markets just like you have been. You will go to war for the unregulated markets just like you have been. You will lay your children on the altar of war for the unregulated markets just like so many of you already have. Because it is the unregulated free markets that rule this nation, this hemisphere, this globe. That is the new order of things.

Until you understand that you don’t know shit.

We killed hundreds of thousands in Iraq and Afghanistan for unregulated markets. We have tortured and illegally detained for the unregulated free markets. We killed thousands in Central America and Latin America. We killed in Yemen for unregulated markets, in Yugoslavia, in Pakistan and Somalia. In Nigeria and Honduras, in Chile and Ecuador. We have killed for unregulated free markets and we have enslaved millions of people to subservient starvation wage serf status so that Michael Jordan could make millions more than he could ever spend by putting his name on shoes. We have installed military dictatorships for unregulated free markets. We have protected them and given them sanctuary once their evil regimes collapsed. We have lied to and frightened our own children for unregulated free markets. We have squandered our rights, rights earned by generations of sacrifice, for unregulated free markets.

And we have committed acts of terrorism on our own shores for the unregulated free markets.

Once you accept the guiding premise of the unregulated free markets, that no laws or oversight is required, that the unregulated free markets will correct themselves, that survival is the only religion and that greed is the only motivation, then you will prosper in the unregulated free markets and if you don’t it is your own fault. Just like it is the fault of those millions of poor, brown, uneducated people in the 3rd world who dared to be born without access to wealth.

This is the creed of the unregulated free markets; take all you can, enslave the rest.

There are no laws that govern the servants of the unregulated free markets. They can kill, maim, lie, torture at will for the unregulated free markets. They can steal from you and your children. They can re-write the flawed history of this country, that country, any country they wish. Your constitution impedes the profits of the unregulated free markets so your constitution is wrong.

Because the nature of the unregulated free markets is to consume. Consume the resources, incomes, the health, the youth, the freedoms, the hope, the truth of all they come into contact with. They can and should consume the very history of the world; rewrite it to serve the interests of the unregulated free markets. Teach your children in their privatized public school systems that unregulated free markets were the message of Jesus, of Buddha, of Mohamed, of Moses, of Jefferson, of Lincoln, of Gandhi, and of King. They can teach your children that the poor are not blessed, they are weak and must be used in service to the unregulated free markets. This is the course of the unregulated free markets.

This is the new state of the humanity; this is our evolution.

If you stand in the way of the unregulated free markets you are an extremist, a terrorist, a fanatical leftist communist socialist criminal. You must be removed from the population. You are broken. Can you not see? Can you not understand? Be pragmatic, be serious, be smart, don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good, be bipartisan, be reasonable.

This is the way of the new order of things. It is America for as long as the unregulated free markets say America exists. As long as America is profitable.

It is center right, it is New Dem it is inevitable. It is Reagan, it is Rand, it is Friedman, and Greenspan. It is Obama and Clinton and Bush and Cheney. It is Fox and CNN and MSNBC and the Washington Post. It is Olbermann, Rush, O’Reilly, and Maddow. It is everyone who is anyone and anyone who is not the unregulated free markets is nothing.

“The system must survive. We must protect the system“

And you will serve or you will perish. You will suffer but the unregulated free market will thrive. You are nothing in the face of the unregulated free markets; you are powerless.

You will forget the old stagnant unevolved philosophies of empathy and sympathy of brotherhood and solidarity. They are childish, unpragmatic illusions. The notion of human rights endowed by your creator is quaint and unsophisticated. Your rights are whatever the unregulated free markets tell you they are. You will embrace the unregulated free markets and their slogans. You will accept them in your heart and nothing else.

You will love the unregulated free markets and everything they stand for and everything they do or you will be an enemy of the unregulated free markets and hated by your peers.

The choice is yours.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

La-La Land Records and Taurus Entertainment present the remixed, remastered and expanded 2-CD release of composer John Harrison’s original motion picture score to George A. Romero’s 1985 genre classic DAY OF THE DEAD, starring Lori Cardille, Terry Alexander, Joe Pilato, Richard Liberty and Howard Sherman, and written/directed by George A. Romero. Composer Harrison’s driving synth score expertly propels the living dead, while also supporting the main characters’ emotional and dramatic journeys. Unexpected, but highly effective reggae-like tones and melodic motifs add a unique personality to this beloved genre score. Produced by John Harrison and Ford A. Thaxton, remixed by Michael Farrow and mastered by James Nelson, this deluxe edition of DAY OF THE DEAD, limited to 3000 units, features the film version of the score on Disc One, and the remastered original 1985 soundtrack cues on Disc Two. Exclusive, in-depth liner notes from film music writer Jeff Bond, composer John Harrison and writer/director George A. Romero round out the delightfully ghoulish art design by Mark Banning.

The Vancouver Convention Centre (formerly known as the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre, or VCEC) is a convention centre in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; it is one of Canada’s largest convention centres. With the opening of the new West Building in 2009, it now has 43,340 square metres (466,500 sq ft) of meeting space. It is owned by the British Columbia Pavilion Corporation, a crown corporation owned by the government of British Columbia.

The East Building is located in Canada Place, which it shares with a cruise ship terminal, and the Pan Pacific hotel. It has 12,400 m2 (133,000 sq ft) of space, including a 8,500 m2 (91,000 sq ft), column-free, dividable exhibition hall, 20 meeting rooms, and a ballroom.

The East Building served as the Main Press Centre for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

The West Building is directly adjacent to Canada Place and consists of 20,490 m2 (220,500 sq ft) of convention space, 8,400 m2 (90,000 sq ft) of retail space along a public waterfront promenade, and 440 parking stalls. Surrounding the building are 37,000 m2 (400,000 sq ft) of walkways, bikeways, public open space and plazas, for a total project area of 5.7 hectares (14 acres) of land and 3.2 hectares (8 acres) over water. The project also supplies infrastructure for future water based developments including an expanded marina, a float plane terminal, and water-based retail opportunities. The design architect for the expansion is LMN Architects of Seattle, in association with Vancouver firms MCM Architects and DA Architects + Planners. Morrison Hershfield ensured quality assurance and conducted enhanced field review during construction of all building envelope components including innovative curtain wall glazing and green roof. On February 9, 2010, the building was certified LEED Platinum by the Canada Green Building Council.

The West Building opened to the public on April 4, 2009. It effectively tripled the capacity of the convention centre. The building hosted the International Broadcast Centre for the 2010 Winter Olympics and 2010 Winter Paralympics. Connecting to the centre is the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel.

Adjacent to the West building is the “Jack Poole Plaza” (formerly known as Thurlow Plaza), in honour of Jack Poole, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2009. He was responsible for securing the bid of the 2010 Winter Olympics and 2010 Winter Paralympics to Vancouver.

The new West Building expansion is certified Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Platinum (LEED) and is designated a PowerSmart Convention Centre by BC Hydro. It was awarded a “Go Green” certificate from the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) for industry-approved, environmental best practices in building management. The living roof, seawater heating and cooling, on-site water treatment and fish habitat built into the foundation of the West Building make it one of the greenest convention centres in the world. The Centre recycles an average of 180,000 kilograms of materials annually, nearly half of the total volume of waste generated. It avoids canned goods, disposable utensils and dishes, and donates leftover food to local charities.

The 2.4-hectare (6-acre) “living roof” is the largest in Canada and the largest non-industrial living roof in North America. The roof landscape is designed as a self-sustaining grassy habitat characteristic of coastal British Columbia, including 400,000 native plants and 4 colonies of 60,000 bees each which provide honey for the public plaza restaurant. No public access is allowed to the roof, which made it possible to create a fully functional ecosystem with natural drainage and seed migration patterns using the roof’s architectural topography. The landscape functionally connects to nearby Stanley Park via a corridor of waterfront parks. Irrigation to the roof is provided by the building’s wastewater treatment plant. In the event that the roof irrigation demands exceed the capacity of the wastewater treatment plant, make-up water can be provided by a reverse osmosis desalinization plant drawing and treating seawater pumped from the harbour as well as municipal water through an air gap connection to the storage tanks, as needed.

All wastewater from washrooms, retail, and restaurant activities in the building is reclaimed and recycled for use in toilet and urinal flushing, and green roof irrigation. The treatment facility uses a membrane bioreactor process, manufactured and supplied by GE/Zenon, consisting of two 2-zone (anoxic/oxic) bioreactor tanks (with internal recycle) and an ultra-filtration (hollow-fibre) membrane tank, followed by a chlorine contact tank that serves to remove colour and disinfect the reclaimed water. The treatment system is designed for an average daily flow of 75 cubic metres (20,000 US gal; 16,000 imp gal) per day, and maximum flows of up to 150 cubic metres (40,000 US gal; 33,000 imp gal) per day. With the City of Vancouver 2012 commercial metered water and sewer rates at $2.803 and $1.754, respectively, the convention centre can save over $21,000 per month in utility fees through water reuse. One of the biggest operating challenges when the facility first started up was the ability to maintain the treatment plant bacteria in a healthy condition during lengthy periods (e.g. late December through mid-January) with limited wastewater to feed the treatment plant due to limited convention activity and concurrent wastewater generation within the building; however, once the restaurants in the building were established this challenge was resolved.

The building’s heating and cooling system feeds through the deep water of the harbor, using it as a constant temperature base to reduce the amount of energy used for heating and cooling.

Along the waterfront, the shoreline ecology is fully restored from its previous brownfield state and supports a historic salmon migration path. An artificial reef structure rings the building perimeter, consisting of a series of concrete steps. Each step is planted with marine species adapted to a specific depth below the water, resulting in a kelp forest characteristic of the natural shoreline and supporting a diversity of harbor fauna. Underneath the building, which is set on pier foundations, runnels are set into the tide flats creating a tidal ecosystem zone that flushes daily and feeds the reef.

The site of the expansion is a former marine and rail industrial area, most of which was covered in impervious surfaces and contaminated. The decrease in site impervious surfaces is almost 30%, mitigating total suspended solids and phosphorus content from stormwater and reducing the site’s heat island contribution.

In 2002, and again in 2008, the VCEC was awarded the International Association of Congress Centres (AIPC) “Apex Award” for the “World’s Best Congress Centre”. In April 2010, the West Building expansion received an Award of Excellence from the Urban Land Institute. It has also received multiple awards from the AIA Seattle chapter.
