Statement of Faith
We Believe
We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired by God, are inerrant in the original writings, are the Word of God, and the final authority in faith and conduct.
We believe in one God, the Creator of man and all things, eternally existing in three Persons in a threefold relationship, that of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is God incarnate, the God-Man.
We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; that Adam's sin is imputed to the whole race of mankind; that all human beings are born with a sinful nature; and that when they reach the state of moral responsibility become sinners before God in thought, word, and deed.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe on Him are freely justified before God and stand before Him accepted in the character and merit of Jesus Christ.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, in His ascension into heaven, and that in His present glorified body He is the Head of the church, the Lord of the individual believer, the High Priest over the house of God, and the Advocate in the family of God.
We believe in the personal, imminent, pretribulational, and premillennial second coming of Christ; first to receive His own to Himself, and later to set up His earthly kingdom and to reign over redeemed Israel and all nations; that is, to bring peace and blessing to the whole world.
We believe that all who by faith receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour are born again of the Holy Spirit and Word of God, receive the Holy Spirit and a new nature, and also are baptized by the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ.
We believe that God is the spiritual Father of only those who trust His Son, Jesus Christ, as Saviour, and that only those saved through faith in Christ are spiritual brothers.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust; the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting punishment of the unsaved.

Glory built on selfish principles, is shame and guilt.William Cowper
Hard work without talent is a shame, but talent without hard work is a tragedy.Robert Half
In darkness one may be ashamed of what one does, without the shame of disgraceSophocles
There can be no higher law in journalism than to tell the truth and to shame the devil - remain detached from the greatWalter Lippmann
Shame is pride's cloak.William Blake
Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame.Benjamin Franklin
God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame.Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he hold to as being certain from reason and experience. Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men. If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods and on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of Holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books. For then, to defend their utterly foolish and obviously untrue statements, they will try to call upon Holy Scripture for proof and even recite from memory many passages which they think support their position, although they understand neither what they say nor the things about which they make assertion.St. Augustine of Hippo
The mass and majesty of this world, all That carries weight and always weighs the same Lay in the hands of others; they were small And could not hope for help and no help came: What their foes like to do was done, their shame Was all the worst could wish; they lost their pride And died as men before their bodies died.Wystan Hugh Auden
O soldier and hero of God, where for thee is sorrow or shame or suffering? For thy life is a glory, thy deeds a consecration, victory thy apotheosis, defeat thy triumph.Sri Aurobindo
Kids are great. That's one of the best things about our business, all the kids you get to meet. It's a shame they have to grow up to be regular people and come to the games and call you names.Charles Barkley
Desperate with fear, I rushed forward with an unceremonious, "You must permit me, Sir " and felt him. My Wife was right. There was not the trace of an angle, not the slightest roughness or inequality: never in my life had I met with a more perfect Circle. He remained motionless while I walked round him, beginning from his eye and returning to it again. Circular he was throughout, a perfectly satisfactory Circle; there could not be a doubt of it. Then followed a dialogue, which I will endeavour to set down as near as I can recollect it, omitting only some of my profuse apologies for I was covered with shame and humiliation that I, a Square, should have been guilty of the impertinence of feeling a Circle. It was commenced by the Stranger with some impatience at the lengthiness of my introductory process. STRANGER. Have you felt me enough by this time? Are you not introduced to me yet?Edwin Abbott
If shame is cried upon him, he will point out that today he has to earn his living, and that it is not his fault if he is eager to support the class which takes a pleasure in his productions.Julien Benda
It was my shame, and now it is my boast, That I have loved you rather more than most.Joseph Hilaire Pierre Ren Belloc
It was a weakness of Voltaire's To forget to say his prayers, And one which to his shame He never overcame.Edmund Clerihew Bentley
Dissimulation in youth is the forerunner of perfidy in old age; its first appearance is the fatal omen of growing depravity and future shame.Hugh Blair
There's no shame in being second to Stephen Fry. Unless it's in a straight nose competition.Russell Edward Brand
There are many fair professors that are foul sinners, and that have much of God, and Christ, and heaven, and holiness in their lips, when they have nothing but sin and hell in their hearts and lives. These mens conversations shame their profession, and therefore they cry against sanctification as a sure and blessed evidence of a mans justification.Thomas Brooks
It's a shame that Gen. Schwarzkopf didn't pay a little closer attention to what his field commanders were doing. But in his defense, he had political considerations to deal with.Thomas Leo Clancy Jr.
Because God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame.Elizabeth Barrett Browning

This review reportedly contains spoilers.
I can handle the truth.
A very, very remarkable film. Guillermo Del Toro is absolutely brilliant. This story is interwined with so much symbolism, it's hard to keep up. It's so difficult to decipher this film, but somehow you understand the message inside your heart, though it's impossible to put it into words. I wouldn't call this film a horror or a thriller. The gore is realistic, and adds a certain sense to film that could not be achieved any other way. The ghost of Santi is beautiful, not horrific.

Personal Summary / Bio
Cappella Clausura's name honors the extraordinary body of music written by cloistered nuns of 17th century Italy who, in the language of the time, were said to be "in clausura:" covered, hidden away, segregated from public life. These gifted and musically educated individuals—such as Raffaella Aleotti, Chiara Cozzolani, Bianca Maria Meda, Caterina Assandra and Sulpitia Cesis—became our first historical community of recognized women composers. Cappella Clausura has performed and recorded their music with dedication, and will continue to do so. And we take the name "Clausura" as a metaphor for the cultural obstacles faced by women composers throughout history.
Over the last ten years, Cappella Clausura has performed an ever-widening repertoire for enthusiastic audiences in concert halls, churches and academic settings. This repertoire includes music by medieval composers Hildegard von Bingen, Kassia, and the anonymous Trobairitz/Trouvères (troubadours); Renaissance composers Vittoria Aleotti and Sulpitia Cesis; Baroque composers named above as well Isabella Leonarda, Barbara Strozzi and Elizaberth Jacquet de la Guerre; Classical composers Mariana von Martines (whom we have dubbed "the female Mozart"); Romantic composer-performers Clara Wieck Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel; and the 20th-21st century's Rebecca Clarke, Erna Woll, Patricia Van Ness, Abbie Betinis, Sinta Wuller, Emma Lou Diemer, and Hilary Tann.
Program highlights through the years have included our acclaimed production of Hildegard von Bingen's Ordo Virtutum, which we consider the first opera by a woman composer; Passionately UnConventional: works by women of the Italian Baroque; and A Renaissance Christmas Pageant with music spanning four centuries, ornamented by modern dance and puppetry.
Upcoming highlights of the 2013-14 season are the March release of our premier recording of the complete Ghirlanda di Madrigali, eighteen madrigals by the Renaissance teenaged prodigy Vittoria Aleotti; the October 5-6 program Rebecca Clarke and her Circle:Vaughan Williams, Britten, and Palestrina, which includes Clarke's complete a cappella output in the context of music by her colleagues and influences; and Illuminations, a performance-installation piece featuring a day in the life of a 16th century Belgian convent, its music, food, costumes, scribes, and its recently discovered illuminated ceremonial antiphonal.

Ali Larter in Marigold
While Heroes' Niki cools her jets this summer, her portrayer can be seen in a very different and certainly less intense role. In the romantic comedy Marigold, now in theaters, Ali Larter plays the title character, a real brat of a B-list actress whose credits include such suspect sequels as "Indecent Proposal 2," "Fatal Attraction 3" and even "Apollo 14." When Marigold's snarkiness finds her stranded in Bombay, it's off to Bollywood — and into the arms of one of the genre's dreamiest leading men. TVGuide.com spoke with Larter about her big-screen lark, and pressed her for scoop on Niki's next heroic adventure.

Oded Fehr, Sleeper Cell: American Terror
If you think that Islamic extremist Faris Al-Farik, whose terror network's scheme to wreak explosive havoc on Los Angeles was foiled during the first season of Showtime's acclaimed Sleeper Cell, is down for the count, think again. Premiering Sunday at 9 pm/ET, and airing for eight consecutive nights, Sleeper Cell: American Terror finds Farik in U.S. captivity, but no less a force to be reckoned with. All the while, FBI agent Darwyn Al-Sayeed gets sucked into going undercover with another deadly cell. TVGuide.com asked Farik's portrayer, the compelling Oded Fehr, for a preview.
TVGuide.com: Were you concerned at all about the fate of Farik at the end of last season?Oded Fehr: Really, I didn't know where we were going. I didn't even know whether we'd have a second season.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Oktoberfest is the world's largest fair held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. It is a 16-day festival running from late September to the first weekend in October with more than 6 million people from around the world attending the event every year. To the locals, it is often simply called Wiesn, after the colloquial name of the fairgrounds (Theresienwiese) themselves. The Oktoberfest is an important part of Bavarian culture, having been held since 1810. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the original Munich event.
The Munich Oktoberfest originally took place during the sixteen days up to, and including, the first Sunday in October. In 1994, the schedule was modified in response to German reunification so that if the first Sunday in October falls on the 1st or 2nd, then the festival would go on until October 3 (German Unity Day). Thus, the festival is now 17 days when the first Sunday is October 2 and 18 days when it is October 1. In 2010, the festival lasted until the first Monday in October, to mark the anniversary of the event. The festival is held in an area named the Theresienwiese (field, or meadow, of Therese), often called Wiesn for short, located near Munich's center. Large quantities of Oktoberfest Beer are consumed, with almost 7 million litres served during the 16 day festival in 2007. Visitors may also enjoy a mixture of attractions, such as amusement rides, sidestalls and games, as well as a wide variety of traditional food such as Hendl (roast chicken), Schweinebraten (roast pork), Schweinshaxe (grilled ham hock), Steckerlfisch (grilled fish on a stick), Würstl (sausages) along with Brezen (pretzel), Knödel (potato or bread dumplings), Käsespätzle (cheese noodles), Reiberdatschi (potato pancakes), Sauerkraut or Rotkohl/Blaukraut (red cabbage) along with such Bavarian delicacies as Obatzda (a spiced cheese-butter spread) and Weisswurst (a white sausage).
Only beer conforming to the Reinheitsgebot, at a minimum of 13.5% Stammwürze (approximately 6% alcohol by volume) may be served at Oktoberfest. The beer must also be brewed within the city limits of Munich. Beers meeting these criteria may be designated Oktoberfest Beer. [1]
The breweries that can produce Oktoberfest Beer under the criteria are:[2]
Oktoberfest Beer is a registered Trademark by the Club of Munich Brewers. [3]
Crown Prince Ludwig, later to become King Ludwig I, was married to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on October 12, 1810. The citizens of Munich were invited to attend the festivities held on the fields in front of the city gates to celebrate the happy royal event. The fields were named Theresienwiese ("Theresa's meadow") in honor of the Crown Princess, and have kept that name ever since, although the locals have since abbreviated the name simply to the "Wiesn".[4]
Horse races in the presence of the Royal Family marked the close of the event that was celebrated as a festival for the whole of Bavaria. The decision to repeat the horse races in the subsequent year gave rise to the tradition of the Oktoberfest.
"The festival was eventually prolonged and moved ahead to September to allow for better weather conditions. Today, the last day of the festival is the first Sunday in October. In 2006, the Oktoberfest extended two extra days because the first Tuesday, October 3, was a national holiday. Over the past 200 years, Oktoberfest was cancelled 24 times due to cholera epidemics and war."[5]
In 1811, an agricultural show was added to promote Bavarian agriculture. The horse race persisted until 1960, the agricultural show still exists and is held every four years on the southern part of the festival grounds. In 1816, carnival booths appeared; the main prizes were silver, porcelain, and jewelry. The founding citizens of Munich assumed responsibility for festival management in 1819, and it was decided to make the Oktoberfest an annual event. Later, it was lengthened and the date pushed forward, because days are longer and warmer at the end of September.
To honour the marriage of Prince Ludwig and Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen, a parade took place for the first time in 1810. Since 1850, this has become an annual event and an important component of the Oktoberfest. Eight thousand people—mostly from Bavaria—in traditional costumes walk from Maximilian Street through the centre of Munich to the Oktoberfest grounds. The march is led by the Münchner Kindl.
Since 1850, the statue of Bavaria has watched the Oktoberfest. This worldly Bavarian patron was first sketched by Leo von Klenze in a classic style and Ludwig Michael Schwanthaler romanticised and "Germanised" the draft. The statue was constructed by Johann Baptist Stiglmaier and Ferdinand von Miller.
In 1853, the Bavarian Ruhmeshalle was completed. In 1854, the festival was cancelled after 3,000 residents of Munich died during a cholera epidemic. There was no Oktoberfest in 1866 because Bavaria was involved in the Austro-Prussian War. In 1870, the Franco-Prussian War forced the cancellation of the festival. In 1873, the festival was cancelled due to another cholera epidemic. In 1880, the electric light illuminated more than 400 booths and tents. In 1881, booths selling bratwurst opened. Beer was first served in glass mugs in 1892. At the end of the 19th century, a re-organization took place. Until then, there were games of skittles, large dance floors, and trees for climbing in the beer booths. Organizers wanted more room for guests and musicians. The booths became beer halls.
In 1887, the Entry of the Oktoberfest Staff and Breweries took place for the first time. This event showcases the splendidly decorated horse teams of the breweries and the bands that play in the festival tents. This event always takes place on the first Saturday of the Oktoberfest and serves as the official prelude to the Oktoberfest celebration
In 1910, Oktoberfest celebrated its 100th anniversary. Some 120,000 litres of beer were poured. In 1913, the Bräurosl was founded, which was the largest Oktoberfest beer tent ever, with room for ~ 12,000 people.
From 1914 to 1918, World War I prevented the celebration of Oktoberfest. In 1919 and 1920, the two years after the war, Munich celebrated only an "Autumn Fest." In 1923 and 1924, the Oktoberfest was not held due to inflation.
During World War II, from 1939 to 1945, no Oktoberfest took place. Following the war, from 1946 to 1948, Munich celebrated only the "Autumn Fest." The sale of proper Oktoberfest beer—2% stronger in Gravity than normal beer—was not permitted; guests could only drink normal beer.
Since 1950, there has been a traditional festival opening: A twelve gun salute and the tapping of the first keg of Oktoberfest beer at 12:00 by the incumbent Mayor of Munich with the cry "O'zapft is!" ("It's tapped!" in the Austro-Bavarian dialect) opens the Oktoberfest. The Mayor then gives the first beer to the Minister-President of the State of Bavaria. The first mayor to tap the keg was Thomas Wimmer.
Horse races ended in 1960.
By 1960, the Oktoberfest had turned into an enormous world-famous festival. Since then, foreigners began to picture Germans as wearing the Sennerhut, Lederhosen, and the girls in Dirndl.[citation needed]
Traditional visitors wear during the Oktoberfest Bavarian hats (Tirolerhüte), which contain a tuft of goat hair. In Germany, goat hair is highly valued and prized, making it one of the most expensive objects for sale. The more tufts of goat hair on your hat, the wealthier you are considered to be. Technology helping, this tradition ended with the appearance of cheap goat hair imitations on the market.[citation needed]
There are many problems every year with people who overestimate their ability to handle large amounts of alcohol. Many forget that Oktoberfest beer has 5.8 to 6.3% alcohol and high sugar content (compared to an average of 5.2% of alcohol and low sugar content in German beer), and they pass out due to intoxication. These drunk patrons are often called "Bierleichen" (German for "beer corpses").[citation needed]
For them as well as for the general medical treatment of visitors the Bavarian branch of German Red Cross operates an aid facility and provides emergency medical care on the festival grounds, staffed with around 100 volunteer medics and doctors per day.[6] They serve together with special detachments of Munich police, fire department and other municipal authorities in the service centre at the Behördenhof (authorities' court), a large building specially built for the Oktoberfest at the east side of the Theresienwiese, just behind the tents. There is also a place for lost & found children, a lost property office, a security point for women and other public services.[citation needed]
Since the 1970s, local German gay organizations have organized "Gay Days" at Oktoberfest, which by the 21st century always began in the Bräurosl tent on the first Sunday.[7]
To keep the Oktoberfest, and especially the beer tents, friendly for older people and families, the concept of the "quiet Oktoberfest" was developed in 2005. Until 6:00 pm, the tents only play quiet music, for example traditional wind music. Only after that will Schlager and pop music be played, which had led to more violence in earlier years.[8] The music played in the afternoon is limited to 85 decibels. With these rules, the organisers of the Oktoberfest were able to curb the over-the-top party mentality and preserve the traditional beer tent atmosphere.
Since 2005 the last travelling Enterprise ride of Germany, called Mondlift, is back on the Oktoberfest.
Starting in 2008, a new Bavarian law intended to ban smoking in all enclosed spaces that are open to the public, even at the Oktoberfest. Because of problems enforcing the anti-smoking law in the big tents there was an exception for the Oktoberfest 2008, although the sale of tobacco was not allowed. After heavy losses in the 2008 local elections with the smoke ban being a big issue in debates, the state's ruling party meanwhile implemented special exemptions to beer tents and small pubs. The change in regulation is aimed in particular at large tents at the Oktoberfest:[9] So, smoking in the tents is still legal, but the tents usually have non-smoking areas.[10] The sale of tobacco in the tents is now legal, but it is abandoned by agreement. However, in early 2010 a referendum held in Bavaria as a result of a popular initiative re-instituted the original, strict, smoking ban of 2008; thus, no beer will be sold to people caught smoking in the tents.[11] The blanket smoking ban will not take effect until 2011, but all tents will institute the smoking ban this year as to do the "dry run" to identify any unforeseeable issues. The common issue when the smoking ban is in effect is the nauseating stench of stale beer spilled on the floor, which the smoking masked.[12]
2010 marks the 200th anniversary of Oktoberfest. For the anniversary, there was a horse race in historical costumes on opening day. A so-called "Historische Wiesn" (historical Oktoberfest) took place, starting one day earlier than usual on the southern part of the festival grounds. A specially brewed beer (solely available at the tents of the historical Oktoberfest), horse races, and a museum tent gave visitors an impression of how the event felt a century ago.
A pipe bomb was set off in a dustbin at the restrooms at the main entrance on September 26, 1980 at 22:19. The bomb consisted of an empty fire extinguisher filled with 1.39 kilograms of TNT and mortar shells. Thirteen people were killed, over 201 were injured, 68 seriously. This was the second deadliest terrorist attack in the history of Germany after the Munich Massacre. Governmental authorities propounded a summary of official inquires, purporting that a right-wing extremist Gundolf Köhler from Donaueschingen, a social outcast who was killed in the explosion, was the lone perpetrator. However, this account is strongly disputed by various groups.[13]
The Oktoberfest is known as the Largest Volksfest (People's Fair) in the World.[14] In 1999 there were six and a half million visitors[15] to the 42 hectare Theresienwiese. 72% of the people are from Bavaria.[16] 15% of visitors come from foreign countries like the surrounding EU-countries and other non-European countries including the United States, Canada, Australia and East Asia.[17]
Besides the Oktoberfest, there are other public festivals that take place at the same location. In April/May it's the Munich Frühlingsfest (Spring Festival) and Tollwood-Festival in December with 650,000 visitors.
After the Oktoberfest the next largest people fairs in Germany are the Cannstatter Volksfest in Stuttgart with about 4.5 million visitors each year, the Cranger Kirmes in Herne (Wanne-Eickel) (the largest fair in Northrhine-Westphalia) with 4.4 million visitors, the Rheinkirmes in Düsseldorf (called Largest Fair on the Rhine) and the Freimarkt in Bremen (the biggest fair in northern Germany) with over 4 million visitors per year each. Also noteworthy is the "Schützenfest Hannover", the world's largest marksmen's Fun Fair in Hanover with over 1 million visitors per year.
In recent years, the Oktoberfest runs for 16 days with the last day being the first Sunday in October. However, if day 16 falls before October 3 (German Unity Day), then the festival will continue until the 3rd. (see table below)

Nearly 1,000 tons of garbage result annually from the Oktoberfest. The mountains of garbage created are hauled away and the ways cleanly washed down each morning. The cleaning is paid for in part by the city of Munich and in part by the sponsors.[citation needed]
In 2004 the queues outside the toilets became so long that the police had to regulate the entrance. To keep traffic moving through the restrooms, men headed for the toilets were directed to the urinals (giant enclosed grate) if they only needed to urinate. Consequently, the number of toilets was increased by 20% in 2005. Approximately 1,800 toilets and urinals are available at this time.[citation needed]
Many Oktoberfest guests visit the quiet stalls in order to use their cell phones. For this reason there were plans in 2005 to install a Faraday cage around the toilets or to use Mobile phone jammers to prevent telephoning with a mobile telephone. Jamming devices are, however, illegal in Germany, and Faraday cages made of copper would have been too expensive, so these ambitious plans were dropped, and signs were placed instead, warning toilet users not to use cell phones in the stalls.[citation needed]

Blizzard strikes gold sellers with Paypal notices
Here is Paypal's letter to the gold sellers:
What's very interesting is that Blizzard is claiming intellectual property violations in the face of the most recent decision in the Glider case. Where Blizzard lost on intellectual property concerns under the EULA, they could have a better shot over their game assets being sold, if somehow it ever went to court. Still, Paypal is the easiest route to go for Blizzard's plan of attack against gold sellers, since most of them are run outside of the country. Suffice to say, it's nice to see some action being taken against gold selling.You were reported to PayPal as an Intellectual Properties violation by Blizzard Entertainment Inc. for the sale of World of Warcraft Merchandise.
If you feel your sales do not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of the Reporting Party, please complette the attached Objection to Infringement Report by January 21, 2011.
The completed form should be faxed to the attention of the Acceptable Use Policy Department at [number removed] or emailed to [email removed].
Should you choose not to object to the report, you will be required to remove all World of Warcraft Merchandise from the website [url removed] in order to comply with the Acceptable Use Policy.

Religious Resources
General Religious Resources
The goal of this website is to provide free, reliable information "just the facts". ReligionFacts does not promote any one religion or belief system nor even a particular view of religion. Our only "value statements" are these: (1) religion is interesting; (2) knowledge is good. (good resource, lots of info)
On this site, religious tolerance means:
"To extend religious freedom to people of all religious traditions, even though you may disagree with their beliefs and/or practices. This site describes both the positive and negative aspects of religions. This site describes dozens of faith groups, from Asatru to Christianity to Wicca to Zoroastrianism. We cover new religious movements, including dangerous cults. We describe ethical belief systems, like Agnosticism, Atheism and Humanism."
From the homepage: "Religions and human cultures are constantly being renewed and invigorated. This Religious Movements site provides a foundation for understanding how religious groups emerge, grow, stagnate, reinvigorate themselves, and sometimes die. While the focus of this site is on "new" religions, our concern with the processes of change and development leads us to an examination of groups that are older than the major Western monotheistic traditions, and some that are so new that they have few members and appear to exist primarily as web sites.
We also explore groups that are not really religions, but have characteristics that are very much like religions. Scholars typically identify them as quasi-religions, or para-religious organizations. The resources on this site are rather considerable. Students in my courses on the sociology of religion at the University of Virginia have created Profiles on more than two hundred groups.
These Profile pages provide links to significant web sites on each group, selected because they offer content that will better help the reader understand specific issues or traditions. In addition, each Profile page presents a print bibliography for those who wish to explore a particular group in depth.
This source provides message boards, faith calendars, news and current events, and information about 19 different religions. The website is maintained by the BBC so you can be fairly sure that information is accurate and up to date.
From the mission page: "The Smithsonian is committed to enlarging our shared understanding of the mosaic that is our national identity by providing authoritative experiences that connect us to our history and our heritage as Americans and to promoting innovation, research and discovery in science. These commitments have been central to the Smithsonian since its founding more than 155 years ago...In communities across the nation, our programs offer the Smithsonian experience to adults and young people alike. Work of Smithsonian scientists around the globe contributes to what we know about myriad subjects."

From the information page: "The aim of World Religion Day is to foster the establishment of interfaith understanding and harmony by emphasizing the common denominators underlying all religions. The message of World Religion Day is that, mankind, which has stemmed from one origin, must now strive towards the reconciliation of that which has been split up. Human unity and true equality depend not on past origins, but on future goals, on what we are becoming and whither we are going. The prime cause of age-old conflict between man and man has been the absence of one ethical belief, a single spiritual standard – one moral code."

New York attractions: Carnegie Hall (SLIDE SHOW)
Take our photo tour to learn about Carnegie Hall, one of the most famous concert venues in the world and a renowned New York attraction.
Fri Aug 24 2012
CommentsAdd +
"How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" goes the old joke. "Practice, practice, practice." One of the most prestigious concert venues in the world, Carnegie Hall has hosted some of the greatest classical, opera and jazz musicians of the last century. Click through our photo slide show to learn more about this venerable New York attraction.

In 1887, wealthy industrialist Andrew Carnegie met Walter Damrosch, conductor of the Oratorio Society of New York, on a trans-Atlantic cruise. They became friends, and Damrosch shared his vision for a new concert hall for his organization, which Carnegie decided to build. Carnegie Hall—then known simply as the Music Hall—opened in 1891.
Photograph courtesy Carnegie Hall Archives
The high-profile venue launched with a spectacular five-day music festival, at which Tchaikovsky conducted two of his works. Since then, Carnegie Hall has hosted more than 46,000 concerts and events—Walter Damrosch took part in nearly 850 of them.
Photograph: Jeff Goldberg/Esto
Carnegie Hall was designed by the architect William Burnet Tuthill, who played the cello.
Photograph: Jeff Goldberg/Esto
To improve the building's acoustics, Tuthill omitted popular design elements of the time such as heavy curtains and chandeliers, and gave the main auditorium an elliptical interior with a domed ceiling.
Photograph courtesy Carnegie Hall Archives
The building has been through a number of changes over the years. In the 1920s the front stairs, pictured, were removed when the city decided to widen 57th Street, and ground-level storefronts were added (they included four restaurants, a barbershop, a dry cleaners and a nightclub). The stores, which compromised the beauty of the building's original design, were removed during a major restoration in 1986.
Photograph courtesy Carnegie Hall Archives
In 1960, a no-longer-profitable Carnegie Hall narrowly escaped demolition when the city purchased it, turning it into a public institution. It received added protection and recognition when it was a declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964 and a New York City Landmark in 1967.

In the early 20th century, Carnegie Hall was where musical reputations were built and careers were launched.
Photograph: Jeff Goldberg/Esto
In its first three decades, Carnegie Hall hosted many of the greatest composers and musicians of the time, including Mahler, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Gershwin, Stravinsky and Bartók, as well as opera legend Enrico Caruso.
Photograph: Jeff Goldberg/Esto
Carnegie Hall's distinction extends to nonmusical performances. Notable speakers have included presidents and prime ministers (Grover Cleveland, Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson), civic leaders (Booker T. Washington, women's suffragists Carrie Chapman Catt and Ethel Snowden, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.) and writers (Ernest Hemingway, J.K. Rowling).

It was at Carnegie Hall that Rowling revealed the character of Dumbledore was gay in 2007.

The great American composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein, pictured, became famous when he made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1943, at the age of 25. He was called in as a last-minute replacement for the New York Philharmonic conductor Bruno Walter, who had the flu. (Bernstein later served a long tenure as the Philharmonic's music director.) The outstanding performance was broadcast on national radio; the next morning Bernstein was on the front page of The New York Times.
Photograph: William P. Gottlieb
Over the course of his career, Bernstein would conduct more than 375 concerts at Carnegie Hall.

Carnegie Hall has a long history of presenting jazz music, starting with James Reese Europe's Clef Club Orchestra in 1912. (Pictured: Charlie Parker, 1947)
Photograph: William P. Gottlieb
Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, pictured, Billie Holiday, Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane are among the jazz luminaries who have appeared at Carnegie Hall.
Photograph: William P. Gottlieb
Billie Holiday headlined at Carnegie Hall in 1948, a few days after being released from prison on a drug charge. The concert—her first in nearly a year—sold out a week in advance, and Holiday was reportedly so nervous backstage that she pricked herself while pinning a flower in her hair. The performance turned out to be a great success.
Photograph: William P. Gottlieb
Ernest Tubb and members of the Grand Ole Opry were the first country musicians to perform at Carnegie Hall, in 1947.
Photograph: William P. Gottlieb
They were followed by more country, rock, folk and pop artists—Bo Diddley and Etta James in the '50s; Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and the Beatles in the '60s; Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Billy Joel and Liza Minnelli in the '70s.

In 1985, Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Melle Mel performed at a benefit concert for the political documentary A Matter of Struggle. They were the first hip-hop artists to appear at Carnegie Hall. (Pictured: Jay-Z, 2012)

Perhaps the highest profile hip-hop concert the venue has hosted happened in February this year, when Jay-Z put on a pair of shows benefitting the United Way of New York City and the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation.

ELLE DECOR Goes to Brooklyn
By Ingrid Abramovitch
Brooklyn may be in flux, but its residents work hard to retain their borough's sense of history. In 1965 Brooklyn Heights became the first neighborhood in New York City to be protected by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. Take a stroll through the area, a riverside bluff that became America's first suburb in the early 19th century when a steam ferry began regular service between Brooklyn and Wall Street. You'll feel transported to an earlier era as you steal glimpses inside the ornate parlors of the district's Federal townhouses, Greek Revival mansions, and Italianate brownstones.
And then there are the nostalgists. Two years ago, Peter Freeman and Gia Giasullo, a brother-sister team, restored an abandoned 1920s pharmacy in the south Brooklyn neighborhood of Carroll Gardens and turned it into an ice cream parlor straight out of Alvy Singer's day. In addition to malteds and Tootsie Pop floats, the Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain serves that native concoction: the chocolate egg cream, which as every Brooklynite should know, has no egg in it, just milk, seltzer, and Fox's U-bet chocolate syrup.
It's old-school pleasures like the Farmacy's egg cream, combined with the sense that everything imaginable is now available in Brooklyn, that are helping the borough to turn the tables on its skyscraper-filled neighbor across the river. Maybe that's why longtime Brooklyn residents like the artist Hugo Guinness are noticing that Manhattan friends who once avoided visits to his home in Boerum Hill are now turning up in droves. "People used to have a complete complex," Guinness says. "I'd start a conversation about living in Brooklyn and they'd end the conversation and walk away. I might as well have been living in Afghanistan. Now it's all changed. They say, 'That's wonderful, I hear it's so nice there.'"
And before long, they're buying the house up the block.

Denmark City Council
members gave their approval to
move forward with a grant
resolution to secure $377,390
for the construction of a new
state of the art library through
the U.S. Department of
Agriculture Office of Rural
Development at their October
18, meeting.
The grant funds sought by
the City of Denmark, through
the U.S. Office of Rural
Development, equal to basically
half the amount needed to
complete construction of the
new library.
Bamberg County
Administrator Rose Dobson-
Elliott said the Allendale,
Bamberg, Barnwell and Aiken
Library Association (ABBE) has
already been sent a $396,000
grant for the new library through the assistance of Representative
Bakari Sellers.
Those funds are already in
hand, Dobson-Elliott said,
adding the City of Denmark
doesnt have to come up with
those funds.
George T. Smith, a Loan
Specialist with the U.S. Office
of Rural Development in Aiken,
said by approving what he called
a punch list for receiving the
grant that night, the city would
be signing off on 50-60 percent
of the items it needed to secure
the grant and the city was lucky
to be receiving the funds.
You were fortunate to get
the last little bit of it, Smith said
referring to the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) Funds. Smith said
technically the act ended on
June 30th.
In other business
City Finance Director
Rusty Munoz reported the city
received an unqualified
opinion on its most recent
audit. The best they can give,
Munoz said. Munoz noted that
an $892,000 or 14 percent
increase in net assets was a
little misleading in that
$600,000 a large portion was
grant money for the water wells
In other financial matters,
city council members approved
the awarding of contracts for
$4,999 each for repairs to the
Dane Theater roof and Brooker
Center roof to Robert Williams.
It was noted that Williams did
both jobs originally.
Fire Chief Charles Breland
said 14 people signed up for
First Responders training at a
cost of $150 per person.
Police Chief Leroy Grimes
reported that the department
created 80 new case files for the
month. It was requested that a
bank account be set up for a
$14,591 U.S. Department of
Justice Grant for new lap top
The Denmark Christmas
parade will be held on Saturday
December 4, at 1:00 p.m.
In the public comments
portion of the meeting; Denmark
resident Vic Whetstone asked if
council members could come up
with a system to alert residents
when the city water will contain sediments.
