Throughout history, agriculture has played an important part in St Lucia's economy.
The first crops to generate an income for the island were tobacco, cocoa and cotton. These then gave way to the great sugar plantations (why not visit some of these during your stay at Marigot Beach Club and Dive Resort? La Sikwi, in Anse La Raye, and Fond Doux Estate are easily reached from the hotel). This industry was the main income generator from the 1700s until the 1940s, when it gave way to bananas ("green gold"). St Lucia's valleys gradually became covered in the banana's broadleaved plants, swaying gracefully in the tropical breeze.
Many of St Lucia's more exotic fruit and spice species are found as ingredients in local recipes, of course. You'll have the opportunity to taste some of St Lucia's delicious cuisine at Doolittle's Restaurant and Bar.
The local spices and fruits that are most commonly used in St Lucia's cuisine are as follows:
The small round yellow nutmeg fruits grow on trees. When cut in two they reveal a shell that holds within it the popular nutmeg spice that is often sprinkled on eggnog, rum punch and rice pudding.
Cocoa trees are mainly grown in the lush south of the island. The cocoa forms on the tree trunks and branches, and long yellow pods which encase the seeds that are processed into raw cocoa that supplies some of the best-known chocolate makers in the world. The seeds are contained in a sweet white pulp which local children love to eat as a special treat.
An ugly green spiky kidney-shaped fruit which contains a sweet off-white pulp, which is very popular on the island for making ice cream and delicious juices.
Cashew Nuts
These grow on large trees, dangling from the bottom of a fruit that looks remarkably like a red pepper. However, there is only one nut per fruit, so they are very precious. The fruit can be eaten like an apple, but watch out – they are one of the juiciest fruits around; one bite and the juice is dripping off your chin! The nuts have to be roasted before eating as they grow in a brown shell that contains a caustic substance.
When you think of the Caribbean, you'll probably think of the coconut tree swaying on a beautiful sandy beach under the brilliant sunshine. You won't be disappointed in Marigot Bay, as our beach is full of coconut palms! Why not try a green coconut (a younger version of the brown nut that most people know); its juice is very refreshing and cleansing, and the jelly (which later hardens into the flesh that most people know) is a delight to eat – soft and very tasty.

PartyPail, Inc. - THE COMPANY
Life is stressful - celebrating it shouldn't be!
Three basic values define how PartyPail operates:
- A Commitment To Customer Service Excellence
- A Commitment To Creating A Family Friendly Working Situation For Our Employees
- A Commitment To Service To Our Community
PartyPail.com sells to customers throughout the world from its headquarters in beautiful Enumclaw, Washington. Enumclaw is a wonderful rural town of around 10,000 people in western Washington.
PartyPail.com is operated by PartyPail, Inc., a Washington State corporation. The founders wanted to help parents, family members, and friends simplify the sometimes stressful, and often challenging task of planning baby showers, bridal showers, weddings, and birthday parties.
They set about creating an Internet-based retailer of extraordinary baby showers, wedding showers, and birthday parties for busy people. Shower and Party supplies are organized by theme allowing our customers to easily create their own unique, coordinated package of decorations and favors.
Customers love PartyPail because their parties and showers are so successful. In far less time than they imagined, they are able to throw the baby shower, wedding or bridal shower, or party that everybody talks about for weeks, months, or years to come.
All of this is built on simple ideas: careful selection of only the best products, excellent service to customers, familiarity with the latest decorating trends, and an intuitive online store.
PartyPail, Inc. - THE PEOPLE
Partypail.com has been operating for over 5 years, and has served over 150,000 customers. Our founders Lisa and Edward Hechter operate the company on a very simple, and straight forward Customer Service Principle:
"We need to serve our clients the way we want to be served when we shop on-line.
The means we pay personal attention to each order, and strive to make everyone's shower, party, or event as easy and stress free as possible.
PartyPail is a team of over 25 people devoted to living and working in a family friendly, community oriented lifestyle. Our offices are more likely to be visited by our children than by vendors or corporate visitors. Over 80% of our employees are part of what we call the "Mom-Squad", a brigade of mothers (and grandmothers) who arrive in "waves" to answer customer calls, prepare orders, and handle shipments. They love the flexible hours and family friendly environment we've created. They are the people you talk to when you call, and they carefully and lovingly prepare each order for shipment. Most of these people were are dear friends even before we started this business, and now we are incredibly blessed to have them as co-workers. We are truly blessed to be surrounded by such an amazing group of talented, hard working people like this.
The PartyPail Team prides itself on its commitment to service in the local community. PartyPail is a family friendly company, enabling its employees to have the flexibility needed to be great parents, and wonderful members of the PartyPail team. Family comes first at PartyPail! All PartyPail team members are given the freedom to pursue their local community service goals whether it be volunteering in the schools, working with children's programs such as Scouting and Sports, or devoting time to their favorite service organization.
Boy how we've grown - OVER 150,000 PARTIES AND GROWING
Like most small businesses, we started operations in our kitchen and we used our garage for our warehouse. Our first day of operations, we processed two orders. Over our first weekend, we had 7 orders - you can see our first "busy weekend" of shipments, all 7 of them, laying on our kitchen floor ready for shipment on Monday.
Our first "workers" were our two young sons who loved to help us stock the shelves and pack the boxes. As we've grown, we've had to relocate twice in the past 4 years. (The boys still like to "work" in the warehouse, but sometimes it's simply because they have enough room to use a scooter or skateboard.) Initially, we moved from our garage to a small 1,500 square foot warehouse where we hit a number of milestones - pictured above is our first "100 shipment day", with our then only full time-employee standing out front.
Now, with 25+ employees, and our current 11,000 square foot facility, we were fortunate enough to be entrusted by our customers to process and ship 20,000 customer shipments in the last 90 days. We are proud to serve our customers. We are proud to serve our families. We are proud to serve our community.

Last semester we did a service project with the Confirmation class. One Saturday morning we cleaned up a nearby park. We split into pairs and fanned out with one person carrying the bag and the other assisting with trash pickup. It was a beautiful day and proved to be a rather enjoyable service.
Except of course one thing – some trash is gross.
As we walked my partner and I found ourselves in a bit of a nook. There was a small narrow spot behind a building that backed up to a wooded area. This narrow space was at the end of a large field, and as a result wind had blown a great deal of junk into this out of the way spot.
My first response was to say, "Oh we don't need to bother with this." It was near the end of our work time and no one would ever go behind that building. But my partner was an eager and hard worker and began to pick up trash along the tree line.
My second response was to say, "Okay we'll just clean up a bit here by the entrance where people will see." Why bother with the rest? I'm tired. The bag is getting full. But my partner was still eager and I watched for a minute as she squatted and reached for trash I hadn't even noticed.
My last response was to say, "Well, we should rejoin the group now, we don't want to get too far from everyone." It was a bit creepy back in that little nook. And I was ready to leave. After a bit more cleanup my partner joined me. We left the nook only partially cleaned. And that bothered me somehow.
The other day in prayer I found myself anxious. God had been doing a lot in my heart lately and I knew he wanted to do more. But I was tired and a bit timid.
God brought to mind the above service project. At first I thought it was a mere distraction or a random memory popping in. But then it hit me.
God wants to clean out even the smallest, narrowest crevice of my heart. He wants access to all the nooks, all the out of the way places. He wants to clean out all the trash, sin, hurt, fear – anything that keeps me from receiving and giving his love fully.
At first my responses were the same: "Oh we don't need to bother with this." "Okay we'll just clean up a bit here where people will see." But God is a most eager and hard worker. Finally I said, "Okay Lord, clean it out."
This season of Lent we have a grand opportunity. God comes to us eager and willing to work. He longs to clean out our hearts – even those places we often pretend don't exist or the ones we have long since tried to forget are there. He bends and reaches and sees trash we aren't even aware of. He doesn't tire of his work. He longs to make us whole.
You may be tired. You may be timid. You may be eager to leave this task for another time. It may be gross. It may seem creepy. It may be tempting to leave this project before it is completed.
But let him in. Give him full reign to clean up your heart.
This Lent may we cry out to God as the psalmist did, "Create in me a clean heart, O God!"
And then let him get to work on the cleanup.

In a world wracked by war, strife, and uncertainty, we recently received the heart-warming news that flame-bedecked celebrity chef Guy Fieri was working on a cookbook with Smash Mouth, which is technically a rock band. However, this sure future James Beard Award winner is but one of several forthcoming cookbooks that will feature collaborations between your favorite celebrity chefs and bands. Now that you've unquestioningly accepted this premise, here are but a few examples of these culinary publications.

Whilst in the car, my iPod rolled over to "Satellite of Love" (the Lou Reed version, not the Joel Hodgson version). I started to sing it to The Baby in the back seat, and she seemed to genuinely like it.
I can tell when The Baby genuinely likes something. She is already quite adept at expressing displeasure, or just looking straight past you when she doesn't care to be bothered with you. She can even fake-laugh already, when she thinks she should be laughing at something.
So The Baby likes Lou Reed. I've promised The Baby that for her next birthday, I'm getting her a copy of Metal Machine Music.

Let's get the whole name thing out of the way: The Steve McQueen you see here may share a moniker with the late, great Bullitt star, but the similarities end there. This McQueen, 42 and London-bred, is a writer, an artist he won a prestigious British award in 1999 for a video installation inspired by Buster Keaton and an increasingly buzzed-about director. His latest, Shame, is one of the most notable movies of the season. ''I want people to leave the theater and have the film stay with them,'' he says.
McQueen, your wish is granted. Shame (in limited release Dec. 2) chronicles the struggles of Brandon (Michael Fassbender), a rich New Yorker who's secretly grappling with sex addiction. Just when his sister (Carey Mulligan) makes an unexpected visit, he seems headed for rock bottom fast. The movie won Fassbender the best-actor award at the Venice Film Festival, and Oscar chatter for the Irish-German actor soon followed. Shame's NC-17 rating earned due to its frank sexual content and full-frontal Fassbender has also caused a stir. ''The nudity is of no consequence,'' insists McQueen, who lives in Amsterdam with his wife and two children. ''If I was making a film in 1951, Michael might have been wearing pajamas, but I'm making a film in 2011 and people often don't wear pajamas. It's just that simple.''
This isn't the first time McQueen has pushed Fassbender to extremes. The actor dropped 30 pounds on a 600-calories-a-day diet to play Irish activist Bobby Sands in 2008's critically acclaimed Hunger, which won the Camera d'Or award at the Cannes Film Festival. ''It's like falling in love you can't plan that kind of stuff,'' says McQueen of their collaboration. ''I don't take Michael for granted, or take for granted that he's going to make a film with me. Our relationship is beautiful because we don't even need to speak. We can just grunt, like a harrumph, and we just get on with it.''
The duo have already decided on a third project: Twelve Years a Slave, based on the 1853 Solomon Northup memoir about a black American born free but enslaved later in life. Shooting next year, it will costar Chiwetel Ejiofor and Brad Pitt, who's also producing. Meanwhile, McQueen is heartened by Shame's early positive reception. ''It's great. It tells us people want to see intelligent movies, movies that address how we live now. That's just important,'' he laughs. ''Otherwise there's no reason to make bloody movies!''

Arrest made after disabled MBTA passenger beaten with cane

Transit police have arrested a man accused of robbing a disabled person and beating him with his cane.
Chris Johnson, 45, was attacked inside the Andrew Square busway at 11 p.m. Saturday.
Police arrested Miquel Velasquez, 20, of Dorchester, on Tuesday and charged him with unarmed robbery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon of a disabled person.
Johnson spoke out about the attack.
"It could have been worse. He could have beaten me to death," said Johnson, adding that he was upset that onlookers did nothing to stop the attack or pursue his attacker.
Velasquez is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in South Boston District Court.

Divide most of the spaghetti between the 6 holes, creating nest shapes. Top with tomato sauce, then crack an egg on top of each.
- Wrap the remaining spaghetti around the egg yolks and gently tap the tin to allow the egg whites to seep through the spaghetti. Bake for 20 mins until the egg whites are set and the yolk a little runny. Carefully remove from the tin with a blunt knife and serve, topped with basil leaves.

I would like to take a moment and send my condolences to the family of 21 year old Baria C. Miley, a junior IUP nursing major, who died Thursday morning--September 30-- in a car crash in Cherryhill Township. According to the pittsburghchannel.com, Miley was driving during heavy rain fall on Route 422 when she crossed the centerline and collided with an SUV.
I didn't know her personally but I do remember seeing her around the campus. This tragedy hits close to home because she was an IUP student; one of our own. It just snaps me back into reality because anything can happen at any time. A situation like this should bring us, all students of IUP, closer together.

Your email has been sent.
Boycott Mel Gibson
The anti-'Edge of Darkness' email your relatives are forwarding
The Emails of Zion is a collection of messages from Jewish parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents, and others who are eager—often way too eager—to inform their children about issues of pressing concern to the Jewish community. Some of these emails may sound crazy, paranoid, ethnocentric, and/or racist, while others are disturbingly sane. These are the voices of our elders, lightly edited and presented for the convenience of their progeny, who are often too busy to write back.
Forward emails from your elders to email@example.com.
———- Forwarded message ———-
From: Joel Taub
Date: Sun, Jan 31, 2010 at 8:07 AM
Subject: MEL GIBSON
To: [Redacted]
As a Jew I am asking my fellow Jews and Christian friends to do the following for the reasons that I am going to state. Mel Gibson has a new movie coming out within the next week. It is named The Edge Of Darkness. I am asking you to not only boycott the movie, but to forward this email to every Jew and every Jewish support group that you know. If you have any contacts with any media that can put this to print, it would reach even more people then we can imagine.
If you recall, Mel's father denies that the Holocaust ever happened. Mel supports his fathers beliefs.
On Ash Wednesday Fedruary 25th 2004, the movie Passion Of The Christ opened in thousands of theatres. Mel Gibson co-wrote, directed, and co-produced the movie. Gibson also financed the $25 million it took to make the movie through his own company, Icon Productions. Hollywood's major studios all passed on offers to distribute the film. New market films agreed to distribute it for a fee.
The movie has probably created more controversy than any other movie in recent years. Some commentators have charged that the movie is anti-Semitic because it blames the Jews for the death of Christ. The film portrays Jews who adhere to their Jewish faith as enemies of G-D and the locus of evil.
The above 2 paragraphs were taken from the web site of religioustolerance.org/chrgibson.htm
In July of 2006, Mel Gibson was stopped and arrested for drunk driving near his house in Malibu by Deputy James Mee. In his initial report, Deputy Mee described how Gibson bolted from custody and how he chased the actor back to his car where he handcuffed him. In addition, the report detailed repeated threats against Mee made by Gibson, who said that he"owned Malibu" and "would get even" with the deputy. The report also detailed Gibson's "barrage of anti-Semitic remarks" in which he said, "The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world" before asking the deputy, who is Jewish, "Are you a Jew?".
The article goes on to say that Gibson because of his celebrity status received a $1300.00 fine and other minor consequences. He never apologized to the deputy or to the Jewish people. Can we support an individual who hates us?
It is very important that you don't delete this email. If you do, it only helps to support the beliefs of Mel Gibson against the Jewish people.

Mel Gibson's father never denied that the holocauste happend, its a lie and a myth. try to found anyhting that prove that statement anywhere: it doesnt exist. It was a fake created right while the passion of christ was about to hit the theaters to discredit Mel gibson.
During his arrest, Mel Gibson never said that he own Malibu and ever said to deputy officer Mee that he will get even, nor did he ever mentioned the jews in his statements.
It was all made up for TMZ owner harvey Levi, who was losing his business and desperatly needed a scoop at that time.
he paid officer Mee to deliver him a handwrittten copy of the original DUI report, and to add in it several sentences who coudl show Mle Gibson as being crazy and an antisemite and a mysogyne which offcer Mee did.
Unfortunatly for him, 2 officers at the station were with a camera when Mel Gibson arrived to the station and fimed him, and at no point Mel Gibson insutled any female police officer nor any body at the station.
Whats more, the original report is at the station and contian nothing of the allegations mentiend above, and who were repeated still today in the media.
The fake report that TMZ presented as being the opriginal also say that Mel gibson tried to escape, which is a crime. Yet Mel Gibson was never charged for tempting ot escape custody, as he never did that.
All of this discredit the entire fake report form TMZ and prove that it is a fordgery made for the purpose to create as scoop for harvey levi and to forward his little TMZ business, and to discredit Mel Gibson and destroy his career.
Mel gibson was never charged for antisemtism because all of this was made up, and that by charging him the TMZ report will have been investigated and proven to be fualse, which TMZ had no interest into.
You cant deny the fact that the 4 pages of the DUI report that TMZ presented contian many things that you wil never foudn in a regualr police report and in worse dont even spell the name of Mel gibson correctly as he is named "S. Gibson" which is not even his name.
This was doen because harvety levi is a lawyer and knwo that its the kind of error that could save his butt if an invesitgation of this report was made and it was proven to be a fordgery.
There is already several visdeos on youtube proving that this report was a fake and M;el Gibson ant to start an investigation of it.
he had ot apologise for it at that time, because of the huge amont of external pressure made on him, and the fact that denying that this hapend will only have make people even more angry at him.
Whats stated above is totaly wrong.
mel Gibson made several official appologises on tv, both ot officer mee and to the jewish community and he also adressed jewish organisations and rabbi.
All of the rumor circulating are totaly faulse.
I wonder why not one single newspaper took the time ot investigate TMZ allegations and ot contact the sherif deputy at the station and did some basic investigation.
the sherif did told offficaly an don tv that no changes had been made to the original report that was available to the public at the polcie station.
to this day no journlaists even ask to see it.
This is a sign of a clear discrimination on mel gibson by the media.
This has to stop and the truth must come through.
all those people are mroe focused on using their energy on hating an innocdent person than n trying ot found out what is true about him and about this case.
I strongly urge this media to begin an investigation of this case and to begin to show the trith aout htis.
all data are already available proving that the TMZ report was a fake.
harvey levi himself, owner of TMZ, stated in an interview he made in decemebr 2009, that he needed that scoop and made it happen, to can save his business. so it was all about money. and he added that still today he is living on the aftermath of that fake scoop, and engranged a lot of money form it.
Warner bors is now co owner of TMZ which is interesting to remmeber.
Mel Gibson had made a TV serie of the movie Holocauste, as a sequel of it, in 2006, who was ot be aired in fall 2006, when this incident hapeend and he was arested and TMZ published afake report showign that mel gibson was an antidsemite.
Why is that?
subsequently and weirdly, Warner Bros used its power in the movie buisness to oppose the holocauste sequel to be shown on tv.
why is that?
nobodty ever questioned it, and msot media and eopel dont even know that fact that mle Gibson did made a serie of 12 sequels about the holocauste, and that its a jews who forbid it to be aired,.
Who is an antisemite here???
this too wasnt investigated and wasnt properly tiold ot the public, iot hapened mostly behind closed doors.
why does nobody tell about htis?
it is highly suspiciosu!
certiabnly because Mel Gibson produxcing an dfinacing a tv series ot inform about the holocauste, totlay dismantled the theories that he was an antisemite! thats why!
and why shoudl anybody be so agressivly interested ion proving mel gibson wrong, that it will resotrt to boycott his movies about the holocauste?
what is the real reaosn and motive behind this slaugtery pn mel gibsns image and career?
what has realy been the reaosn why this tmz report suiddebndly show up and was never questioend thus it contian so many errors and provably fake informations?
Can someone throw the illiterate, mis-informed, anti-semitic "Ocean" back into the ocean, please? We don't need creeps on this board.
Not only illiterate, but dyslexic, to boot! Ever heard of "spellcheck," Ocean?
I'm a learning disabilities specialist………this poor individual is sadly unconvincing. He definitely lacks literacy skills.
I wrote a witty commentary on "Ocean." But, instead, let's just move on.
eNow you may not like what Ocean said, but simply calling him a batch of names does not confront what he has said. Either he is dyslexic, illiterate, sans spll checker and WRONG…or he is all those things and RIGHT.
can you confront what he has said and disprove it?
ps: I liked Apocalypto, a Mel made film…
why not note that he cheated on his wife, whom he left in Australia while cavorting in L.A.?
Moving on….
Mr. Gibson is not alone is his Messiah approach to history. By that, I do not only refer the the 2,000 year ago issues in the Middle East. Perhaps someone could dig out or write an article that links "Avatar" with "El Cid" and ever so any popular presentations of the hero forced to stand against the (seemingly) overwhelming forces of "the other."
Charleton Heston made a career playing the same role. It is profitable.
It is socially counter-productive.
But, for these postings, let's steer clear of the immediate political "arena." That makes what the Romans presented for the entertainment of the masses seem like a pleasant picnic in the park.
If someone has a plan to boycott Gibson's movie giving him free publicity and creating a controversy will only bring more people to theaters to see what all of the fuss is about. Shouldn't we have learned that from our experience with "The Passion?"
If you want to see an excellent TV drama from the BBC then get the DVD of the original TV series "Edge of Darkness" and you will not be disappointed. The sound track of the BBC drama was by Eric Clapton (relaunching his struggling career) and Michael Kamen (a New York Jewish composer/performer).
The Passion Movie? I guess having seen it – I would be a lot more offended if I was an Italian – those weren't Jewish guards under orders from the Sanhedrin doing the whipping and the crucifiction – I seem to recall that piece of the movie was in Latin rather than Aramaic.
Having been originally raised as a Catholic – I can confirm that the world's main Judeo-Christian sect has a large contingent of whack jobs -and indeed many of these foot soldiers are semi-literate idiots but they take their cue from some pretty well-educated and affluent lay people – the kind of folk I imagine would readily hand over Jesus for a one-way walk through Jerusalem for a quick drink of cheap wine and a spear in his side.
So, sure, go after the Aussie-American actor with the dubious beliefs and his fondness for Mass recited in the language of those who cracked the whip and drove in the nails. For Jews it is probably right, then, to focus on any hint of anti-semitism and holocaust denial; the irony is that this brand of ultra-conservative Catholicism is truly offensive to mainstream Catholics who believe in social justice, prosecution of child abusers, fair treatment for both genders, forgiveness, tolerance, and access to Holy Scripture in a language understood by all.
B'chavod rav, CD
I'm boycotting Gibson without having received any emails. I haven't urged others to stay away, though I hope lots of people will. But I'm annoyed that Tablet has put this email in its "Emails of Zion" section, as though Gibson's anti-Semitism matters less than our elders' quirky reactions to it. The blurb for the section acknowledges that some of the emails are "disturbingly sane," but I don't see the point of a section for which the sane v. less-than-sane distinction isn't *more* important than the fact that all the emails are from our quirky elders. It's so cute how alarmist those old people get! How hip it is to be able to tease their alarmism in a public forum like this!
All of you people really make me laugh. What the hell do you want? A recording of Graham Gibson spellchecking out his anti-semitic rants and little mel's agreement.
Regarding Mel Gibson, there seems to be a lot of pent-up hatred out there masquerading as righteous indignation. Honestly, enough is enough already on this topic.
It's ironic that Hollywood is exuberant about throwing a demonstrably contrite Mel Gibson under the bus yet eager to rally around an unrepentant Polanski. Somehow the moral compass in Hollywood is dramatically askew and rigged against those who don't genuflect properly. It is striking to watch the Hollywood élite tripping over themselves to muster support and condone Polanski's transgressions.
Thank you CEDonnelly for letting us know about the BBC production of Edge of Darkness. I will look for it and achieve two goals: enjoying entertaining drama from BBC, which is always superb, and boycotting Mel Gibson (a personal decision I made years ago, based on Mel's blatant antisemitism).
As a matter of fact, Gibson did apologize to the deputy and to Jews in general. As for his movie, I didn't see it, but a friend, a Jew more observant than I, told me she didn't find it particularly anti-Semitic. In any case, enough with boycotts! There are already too many aimed at Israel.
Old drunken hasbeen Mel Gibson will move to Russia has he has always sided with Russia, He left the country and dodged the draft during war. He has never supported the USA.
In response to Ocean's endless commentary, I cannot even take it seriously because it is so offensively misspelled.
Some of the comments here prove that we need continuous education on the holocaust.
With the holocaust deniers, we are able to have garbage such
as Mel Gibson spewing his hatred and getting away with it. The world conveniently
forgets that an ugly man at age 43 came to power in Germany by spewing hatred
as well. If they yelled against your religion, you would be up in arms and
Am Yisroel Chai. We will never forget.We can't forget. We
owe that to the 6,000,000 souls.
A few points of fact: Hutton (not "Graham") Gibson moved his family to Australia when Mel was 12 years old, admittedly to keep him out of the American military draft. He can hardly be called a "draft dodger". There are sufficient reasons to boycott Mel's movies without resorting to such an obviously incorrect one.
Hutton Gibson is not per se a Holocaust denier, but is clearly an anti-Semite and a right-wing lunatic fringer. Some of that seems to have rubbed off on Mel.
I also believe that there is no good reason to remake "Edge of Darkness." Besides the Clapton/Kamen score, there are the performances of the two leads, Bob Peck and Joe Don Baker, with wonderful chemistry between them. Gibson and Ray Winstone don't lead me to expect the same. I haven't heard enough about Mel's movie to know, but I don't expect the poignant ending of the original, either.
It is just a little ironic that the role that brought Mel Gibson his first real fame was the character of "Mad Max" Rokitansky, since the most famous real-life Rokitansky, the physician Freiherr Karl von Rokitansky, was one of the more liberal figures of 19th Century Vienna.
Jew-hatred is ubiquitous and eternal…it should always be rejected and condemned,by Jews and Gentiles, whether promulgated by celebrities or average citizens…criticism of Israel is not automatically an example of Jew-hatred but it (and anti-Zionism)are often just a fig-leaf used to give the patina of respectable discourse to what is,at heart,simply pure and irrational Hate.
Mel Gibson the old has been has a ugly amd evil mouth!!
Dear Illiterate Ocean,
It is quite apparent that what you DON"T know would fill an OCEAN.
I don"t know about anyone else, but I do not, repeat-DO NOT believe
mel gibson would have, nor could he have (what with his overblown ego)
apologized in the manner in which he did/didn't?(depending on whoo's listening-empty apologies can only fall on deaf ears. . He needs to crawl under a rock and stay there. I have not seen anything with him in it nor made by him since that sorry,dark mess.what was it called? "passion of Christ". Of course his father is a denier of all things Holocaust, and the proof is the proverbial "fruit from the poisonous tree"- himself.
And mr. "ocean", don't you think- no, never mind that, clearly don't.
Your monicker should be "rock", dumb as a rock. Far better fit.
I have to say that people are entitled to their beliefs and even to making mistakes. He has apologized for his comments to the Jewish cop and he is Old Catholic. What do you expect?
It's all absurd and part of the same hatred and discrimination that goes around in jihad bombers and Gaza and gang fights and sexism and all the rest of it. Religion is not for hatred. It is for forgiveness. It is for acceptance even when you are denied it.
I like Mel. I leave him with his views, however distorted and uninformed.
I boycott nothing and no one or I would start by boycotting you.
Unfortunately in Israel his movies are shown on regular basis in Theaters & on TV. What means to me that Jews have no self respect & all is good up to the $$$ in the pocket, if there is any dollar to be made even Hitler will be shown!
Gostaria de dizer que sou religiosa e que leio a Bíbblia. Este livro sagrado relata a vida de Jeus há mais de dois mil anos atrás e, portanto, todo o mundo daquela época pensava diferente de hoje. Os Romanos e os Judeus não são os meus de hoje. O mundo evoluiu. O que o Mel Gibson colocou no filme, que os Judeus daquela época insitaram o povo contra Jesus para liquidarem com a sua vida, e que os Romanos, por questões políticas não fizeram nada para impedir, sendo cúmplices e torturando Jesus é,. sim, uma verdade histórica. Mel Gibson foi fiel aos fatos históricos daquela época e isso não que dizer que os povos inseridos no contexto pensem da mesma forma.
Os Judeus se sentem ofendidos porque? E o que relataram em relação a sua prisão foi muito deturpado. Ainda assim, ao contrário do que é dito aqui neste site, ele se desculpou sim, 3 vezes, e isso foi bem veiculado.
Porque vocês não pegam e não leem a Bíblia como um livro histórico assim como nós lemos Talmud, que por sinal é belíssimo, para não serem tão injustos com um cineasta tão talentoso como Mel Gibson? Naquela época os Judeus foram sim, junto com os Romanos, os culpados pela crucificação de Jsus. Os interessem políticos prevaleceram. Entretanto, com certeza, se os fatos se repetissem hoje, sendo outra a forma de pensar, os Judeus de hoje jamais fariam o que fizeram na época.
Não continuem a fazer isso. Entendam a verdade.
it wasn't Muslims

Judea declares war on Germany
The Biological jew by Eustace Mullins
beatcha to it.
After all..good honest jews want the truth, don't they?
As jewish Prof. Norman Finklestein said recently…
"the crocodile tears don't work anymore"
Or jewish Benjamin Freedman who expounded greatly
on how zionists took over America.
Or keep listening to the endless lies.
zionist/satanist Khazars are engineering WWIII.
Just like 1 and 2
Right now. Iran.
For total control.
One government…them.
One religeon…satanism.
Its just that simple.
They want Gibson boycotted for the TRUTH.
Mel pointed at the Pharisees (the banksters of their time)
for getting rid of Christ who denounced them as the Synagogue
of Satan and "ye pit of vipers" for excess usury.
Christ was "bad for bidness".
Mel in Edge of Darkness says "you're either hanging on the cross,
or you're bangin in the nails".
Mel's "bad for bidness"
Crucify him…again.
And anyone who disagrees dies.
I am pleased to add my name to this list.
Sempre fui uma pessoa que admira o povo Judeu, seu cultura, sua filosofia. Mas estou decepcionada em perceber que este povo é vingativo e julga pelas aparências. Não sou a favor de vinganças. Sou a favor do perdão, da compreenção, do amor. Tenho em meu coração, embora não goste desse sentimento, raiva e indignação por Hitler, pelo que fez aos Judeus, mas confesso que, se estivesse em minhas mãos decidir sobre a vida de Hitler, não o mataria, não me igualaria a ele, o isolaria do contato humano, de qualquer tipo de comtato humano, pois acho que a morte é uma liberdade que ele não merecia.
Entretanto o julgamento errado da obra cinematográfica de Mel Gibson e o ódio que o povo judeu tem contra ele é de uma injustiça inqualificável. Tudo o que esse cineasta fez foi retratar o que diz a Bíblia, e nela está bem claro que foi o povo Judeu quem armou para para que Jesus chegasse a crucificação e os Romanos tiveram o sadismo da tortura, coisa apoiada pelos Judeus da época. O Papa João Paulo II abençoou o cineasta Mel Gibson e aprovou a sua obra de arte. Então porque esse ódio por um homem que não é, como dizem, um anti-semita e que fez durante 10 anos pesquisas históricas para chegar a concluir a obra magnífica que é A Paixão de Cristo. O Mel Gibson é, na verdade, um cineasta histórico e realista. Vocês deveria ler a Biblia para entenderem os fatos. Nós, cristãos, acreditamos que Jesus foi o Messias prometido e o amamos, porque ele é amor. Nós, Cristãos, lemos a Bíblia, sendo ela, para nós, um livro sagrado, como o Talmud é para vocês Judeus. Se nós, no Ocidente, respeitamos o seu povo e somos contra toda e qualquer atrocidade que fazem contre vocês, porque vocês não se esforçam para compreender e aceitar a crança de nós Cristãos? O Mel Gibson é um Cristão, mas não porque ele e nós somos Cristãos, que julgamos que os Judeus não evoluiram como todo o resto do mundo e que ainda pensam como há mais de 2.000 anos atrás. Não aceito estar enganada. Não quero continuer me decepcionando e perder a admiração que sinto por vocês. Mas, para mim, o ódio que os Judeus tem por Mel Gibson é injusto, tão injusto quanto o mesmo sentimento que tiveram por Jesus há 2.000 anos. Repensem a sua postura em relação ao Mel Gibson, pois o que estão fazendo contra ele está revoltando os Ocidentais, os Cristãos, e, também, com certeza,todas as pessoas que admiram esse magnífico profissional.
Parem com essa injustiça, porque ela é inconcebível, inaceitável.
Until Mel Gibson gets on his knees and asks God, Jewish people, his Wife and his seven children for forgiveness his life won't be good.
Well Mr. Mel,
A Billionaire you may be –
But you are Persona Non Grata to me.
I am just a lowly German-Jew By Choice
But will not pay for a thing you give Voice.
On that dark night you may have been Drunk
But Truth showed a Heart filled with Nazi-Gunk.
Yes Mr. Mel, A Billionaire you may be –
But for you I would not Sit Shiva were you Family.
I think Mel Gibson is mentally ill because of his obsession with torture and gore (but then I guess so are a lot of other people these days). I refuse to see either Passion or Apocalypto because they're supposed to be so gory. And I think he's an anti-semite and wouldn't support him anyway.
There was a funny youtube circulating with a Boston baseball announcer having a field day when a Jewish ball player – Eukeles? made a great play. He kept yelling, "Take that Mel Gibson!!!"
B.S. Mel does not need me defending him, but after reading this and hearing all that other garbage I feel prompted to give you the two cents of a lowly mensch who has worked for both Mel and Steven Spielberg on several occasions. Okay, Mel had a little too much too much to drink and made an ass of himself, I know a lot of people that have been guilty of that too, which is never cool to do. However, I have to say, that I have been in the movie business for a few years and that I was treated much-much more fairly by Mel and his company than I ever was, working for Mr. Speilberg and Dreamworks. Furthermore, I noted that Mr. Gibson's Company made a concerted effort to hire crew of a ethnically diverse background which deserves recognition because, actions speak louder than words. Besides, the last time I worked for DW's, I was utterly incensed by the amount of anti-semitic and racist rancor coming from both the director and producer of that movie which was not induced liquor, that I had to listen too while working on the film. To this day, I will not see a DW's movie on account of that, but I sure as hell will see anything that Mel does.
So "the Jews" are boycotting Mel Gibson.Is that a good thing?
Should "the Jews" be boycotting on the basis of drunken rants? Should the sins of the father be carried down to the son – Stalin said no – but then he (as usual) killed and imprisoned anyway. You are all reinforcing stereotypes that "the Jews" only care about the effect on Jews, and blaming Mel for his crazy old man is akin to the actions of the Bolsheviks. This is racist and self destructive. Boycott the child rapist Polanski instead if you want to do a genuinely moral thing.
The fact that Mel Gibson is a christian is reason enough to know that he's severely mentally affected. The catholic church that he constructed on his property had an elderly parish priest who'd been convicted of molestation charges in the past. This priest was ordered to no longer be involved in any active priestly duties. Prick head Mel Gibson then has this convicted pedophile as his church's parish priest! Mel Gibson is a FAKE! He's an adulterer, an alcoholic, a drug addict, chain smoker, has had multiple divorces and is a DUI felon. Given that Gibson is a rapidly aging old man, his bad habits coupled with a bellicose demeanor, he'll really be lucky if he makes it to 60.
You don't need to encourage me to NOT see a Gibson film.
Believe it or not, this is AMERICA. Mel has freedom of speech. My father fought for it in WWII, and he was in Europe to help liberate the Jewish people from Hitler's Holocaust (for which I am VERY proud). Like it or not, Americans have certain rights, even to have hatreds. I would question more why some people have the right to express whatever they want and others are condemned?? But do we get anywhere by dwelling on THIS–the heated comments of a drunken individual in one regrettable episode? I say SO WHAT!?!? Better energies are spent on more serious issues~~Gulf oil spill, for one!
Good article on "Was Mel Gibson set up" ?

December 22, 2014
Agriculture Department officials say a test confirmed Tuesday that the 1,300 pound steer had been given a prohibited anti-inflammatory drug called Banamine.
Agriculture Director Chuck Hartke declined to overturn a decision by an administrative law judge to disqualify the animal.
The steer was shown by 14-year-old Whitney Gray of Gilman. Her family argues they told a fair official about the drug and were given the impression that it was ok, but Hartke said "the rules are the rules.''
The junior champion steer is auctioned at the Sale of Champions scheduled for this evening.
Department spokesman Jeff Squibb says it's the first time in livestock competition at the fair that a champion was disqualified for illegal drug use.
Squibb says the runner-up steer cleared the drug test.

"Mariage pour toutes"— c'est chic!
Okay, okay. It was for an editorial in French Elle.
Again we ask, is there anything Karl can't do?
A group of boldface names in France wrote an open letter to Le Monde about the article.
And, really, calling it unfortunate is an understatement.
This is not supposed to be a trend.
Plus, model Carola Remer covers the new issue of Vogue Germany.
And Kate Moss covers French 'Elle'.
It includes the requisite plus-size nudity.
And inside, she doesn't wear pants.
Not that they plan to do anything about it.
Well, there's actually a slight chance they had a tiny bit of makeup on.

ST, Ericsson make break up plans
Struggling chip maker ST-Ericsson is to be shut down and dismantled, parent companies STMicroelectronics and Ericsson said Monday.
The disintegrating joint venture between STMicroelectronics and Ericsson, ST-Ericsson, has completed its restructuring and the transfer of business, assets and employees to Ericsson, STMicroelectronics and third party buyers.
The Informer got a software update for his Nexus this week and the resulting tweaks to the interface led him accidentally to the data usage display. He was somewhat surprised to find that the second most data-hungry app on his phone was Google+, a service he has never used. Over a ten-day period Google+ huffed back 5.54MB of data over the mobile network, all of it in the background. This might not sound like much but it's all relative; roughly one per cent of the monthly allowance, Google+ usage outstrips Facebook by some margin and leaves Gmail in the dust. And it's worth repeating: This app has never been used.
Struggling chip maker ST-Ericsson is to be shut down and dismantled, parent companies STMicroelectronics and Ericsson said Monday.
The president and CEO of embattled chip manufacturer ST-Ericsson resigned on Monday as the company's parents continue to struggle through divorce proceedings.
Ericsson said that the charge includes write down of assets to reflect the current best estimate of Ericsson's share of the market value of the firm, as well as additional charges related to the available strategic options for the future of ST-Ericsson's assets.
Troubled chip vendor ST-Ericsson is to lose one of its parents, as the company looks for a way to turn its fortunes around.
European manufacturer STMicroelectronics said it has taken the decision to exit ST-Ericsson and is currently in negotiations on exit options.
Embattled chipset firm ST-Ericsson has agreed to transfer its R&D division based in Linköping, Sweden, to local IT consultancy Cybercom. The move follows recent speculation regarding the future of ST-Ericsson, the 50/50 joint venture between Ericsson and STMicroelectronics, as the company battles with rising losses and suggests more changes are still to come.
Swedish equipment vendor Ericsson has seen its profit drop 63 per cent year-on-year in 2Q12. The bottom line figure stood at SEK1.2bn ($171m), compared with SEK3.2bn in the same period a year earlier. Notably, in 1Q12, the firm recorded $8.8bn in profit.
Handset player Nokia has signed a deal with ST-Ericsson in a move that will see the chipset vendor's NovaThor mobile application platform used in future Windows Phone devices.
The International Multimedia Telecommunications Consortium (IMTC) has completed what it says is the first ever voice over LTE (VoLTE) test on a live LTE infrastructure. The test, which took place at the SuperOp annual telecoms testing event in Hawaii, involved key industry players Ericsson, Huawei, Samsung, Intel Mobile and ST Ericsson, among others.
An internally distributed study undertaken by China's Ministry of Commerce reportedly suggests imminent action against the EU for its subsidisation of major telecoms infrastructure companies.
Mobile operating system Android continues to win support, with chip makers ST-Ericsson and Broadcom this week announcing mobile platforms catering to the OS.
Swedish infrastructure vendor Ericsson reports its financial results next week, but statements from its two joint ventures on Friday do not bode well for the firm.
Handset behemoth Nokia extended its relationship with chip shop ST-Ericsson on Friday, announcing a long term partnership over China's homebrew TD-SCDMA platform.
Swedish infrastructure and equipment vendor Ericsson took a beating during the third quarter of 2009, watching its net income dive 74 per cent year on year, dragged down by poor demand and further hits from its joint ventures.
Swedish vendor Ericsson's other joint venture, chip firm ST-Ericsson, continues to drag on the company's earnings, but like Sony-Ericsson's losses, at least they're moving in the right direction.
Profits for the quarter to end June fell to SEK800m, from SEK2bn in the same period last year. Net sales however, were up 7 per cent year on year to SEK52.1bn.
The Informer keeps seeing these financial crisis-induced marketing emails that say things like: "Now is the perfect time to innovate!" or "Now is the perfect time to implement this cost management solution!". But it strikes the Informer that what now is really the perfect time for is to be a Chinese equipment vendor. While all the other vendors are loosening their collars and tightening their belts, and shedding staff like a dog sheds hair (unless it's a Portuguese Water Dog, of course), the Chinese vendors are having a right old knees-up.
On Thursday, Swedish kit vendor Ericsson recorded a 30 per cent drop in net profit for the first quarter of 2009, coming in at SEK1.8bn (Eur168m) compared to SEK2.6bn in the same period last year.
The chip giant formed of the merger of STMicroelectronics and the mobile platform division of Ericsson was reborn on Thursday as ST-Ericsson. Acknowledged by analysts as the biggest consolidation in the chipset market so far, the 50/50 joint venture claims to have the industry's strongest product offering in semiconductors, supplying components to Nokia, Samsung, Sony [...]

Get It Together: 5 Tech-Based Resolutions You Need to Make
When it comes to getting your digital life together, there's no time like the present. Start with these five easy steps that can help you save a little time this coming year.
By Rachel Rothman
4. Protect your passwords.
One of the easiest ways to let I.D. thieves into your personal accounts is to choose obvious or insecure passwords for your e-mail, social networking, and banking sites (or worse, to use the same for all three!). Here are some do's to keep in mind:
Use a combination of letters and numbers. Or try making a sentence and using the first letter of each word to create your password. For, example, "My family has four kids and two parents!" might become Mfh4ka2p!" And we recommend changing your password every few months.
Pick different passwords. Change things up for different online services, so if a hacker does access one, he can't access everything.
Use a secure password manager software. This can help you remember them all — and not tell anyone what they are. A password-protected document is a step up from writing down your passwords on a piece of paper or on your computer without password protection, but it is not as secure as using a password manager software. You can save each password in this program and, after logging in, it automatically enters them for you (to access your bank account, Amazon, etc.). Some have other features, such as a fingerprint scanner for added security. (We're big fans of free service DashLane.)

Dexter Dream Dining Room and Kitchen
The blood will flow when Amy Lau and Johnny Grey create Dexter's modernand morbiddining room and kitchen
By Elle Decor Staff
Amy Lau's Dexter Dining Room
Amy Lau has captured, tongue-in-cheek, the essence of Dexter, the Miami P.D. blood-splatter expert by day/vigilante serial killer by night. Naturally, the room flows red, illustrating the impact of a single hue added to a neutral setting. Patterns range from blood drops and human vein honeycombs to 3D string art , artfully strung from ceilings to walls, simulating Dexters crime scene forensic technique. A vinyl-wrapped table and ceiling and plastic-sheathed floor recall the protective plastic the character obsessively uses to protect against splatters when killing.

There is new outrage surrounding the death of abortion doctor, George Tiller.
At a memorial service held for Tiller in Washington DC, fellow abortionist Dr. Leroy Carhart compared Tiller's murder to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Washington Times reported.
Tiller's murder was the "equivalent of Martin Luther King being assassinated," the Washington Times reported Carhart as saying.
He went on to name other comparisons -- like Pearl Harbor. But it's his attempt to compare Tiller to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. that has the King family outraged.
King's niece, Dr. Alveda King, called the comparison "offensive beyond belief."
"I went to visit Dr. Tiller a few years ago. I went to his clinic, and my message was 'I am post abortive. Will you please understand that abortion hurts women and would you please have mercy on the little babies,'" she said.
"We mourn the death of Dr. Tiller, but to compare the contribution of Dr. Tiller to those of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is a terrible injustice," she added.
The Wichita clinic Dr. Alveda King visited is now permanently closed. Tiller's family decided to shut it down

Neffe held her launch event at TAGS Botique, owned by Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kandi Burruss. The event was packed with supporters and a few Atlanta celebs. Noticeably missing was Keyshia Cole, Frankie, and Elite. I wonder what thats all about. Check out the pics. Continue reading
