The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Threats: Two New Dimensions to Consider Page 9
While European economists and politicians have been concentrating on
preventing financial meltdown across the Eurozone, military and political
strategists in Tel Aviv and Washington have been calculating the impact of
military action against Iran.
A military strike against Iran would likely unleash the law of unintended
consequences and would be seized upon by Islamic extremists as proof positive
that the U.S. is waging a war against Muslims, thus putting U.S. citizens - as
well as their allies - at a much higher threat of reprisals across the world.
Next week, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will publish its
latest report which, we understand, will contain an assessment that Iran is
attempting to build a nuclear weapon despite consistent denials by Tehran.
Last week, President Barack Obama noted the significance of next week's IAEA
report, saying: "The IAEA is scheduled to release a report on Iran's nuclear
program next week and President Sarkozy and I agree on the need to maintain
the unprecedented pressure on Iran to meet its obligations."
Quite why President Obama singled out President Sarkozy is unclear at this
stage, unless this is a nod to the fact that France, under President Sarkozy,
has followed a far more aggressively interventionist foreign policy than his

ThunderCats was first marketed in 1983, but the series was not released until two years later.
The services of psychologist Robert Kuisis, Ph.D. were retained to ensure that ThunderCats offered children moral guidance. Dr. Kuisis reviewed each episode throughout production; as well, he offered comments on each show in a "Synopses and Morals" booklet given to TV stations.
"The anime style was introduced into the design to allow our Japanese animators to inject some of their creativity," recalled executive producer Arthur Rankin, Jr.

Taking a trip on the GoldenPass Line is rather like taking a short vacation. On leaving Lucerne and its enchanting lake and mountains, enjoy more scenic splendour as the brand-new Lucerne-Interlaken Express climbs leisurely up to the Brünig Pass. Then comes the descent to Meiringen, before the train passes Brienz with its same-named lake and the Giessbach Falls en route to Interlaken. Here you change trains to continue along the Lake Thun shoreline. The day's final connection awaits you in Zweisimmen, from where the train with the golden carriages departs for glamorous Gstaad. Your first glimpse of Lake Geneva comes as the train weaves its way through vineyards to your destination, Montreux.

Welcome aboard the world's steepest cogwheel railway, as it sets off for the 48% gradient climb up Mount Pilatus. Soak up the spellbinding views of Lake Lucerne and the Central Swiss Alps before (on the other side of the mountain) an aerial cableway takes you down to the valley deep below.Interlaken and region
James Bond was a great Schilthorn fan – it was, after all, the spectacular setting for his sixth movie. The Piz Gloria revolving restaurant and new Bond World give visitors a peek behind the scenes of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". Easily accessible from Interlaken by train and aerial cableway.A cogwheel railway huffs and puffs its way to the summit of the Brienzer Rothorn, treating its passengers to a genuine steam experience from yesteryear. The line has never been electrified, and the historic carriages are still pushed by steam locomotives.
Swiss rural tradition comes alive at the Swiss Open-Air Museum Ballenberg. You'll find farm animals, demonstrations of traditional skills and some 100 historic houses.
Chillon Castle on Lake Geneva is Switzerland's most popular historic building. The Counts of Savoy may be long gone, but their wall murals, cavernous underground vaults and great halls never fail to fascinate visitors.Dining and Wining

that the GoldenPass Line offers two exclusive extras for privileged passengers between Montreux and Zweisimmen? One is the VIP front seats (limited number available) where you almost feel as if you're driving the train; the other is the option to travel by GoldenPass Classic train – in the 1930s style of the Orient Express.

History | Soccer fields, for King and Atlanta, lent space to move 'beyond Vietnam'
His work in ministry, as a public speaker and as face of the American civil rights movement prevented him from developing strong sporting enthusiasms, but at least once in his career Martin Luther King Jr. stepped onto a soccer field.
In the aftermath of birthday commemorations and the U.S. federal holiday on Jan 21, we learned that King had delivered one of his strongest moral condemnations of the Vietnam War, on 16 Oct 1967, from the soccer pitch at Sacramento State. More than 7,000 packed the stands and spilled onto the turf.
On the 40th anniversary of King's visit, a KCRA-TV report shows very brief glimpses of King's Oct 1967 address as well as the venue, now the Alex G. Spanos Sports Complex. See American Rhetoric's online speech bank for a transcript and audio of King's first delivery of "Beyond Vietnam—A Time to Break the Silence," Riverside Church, New York, 4 Apr 1967.
King typically met receptive audiences in university settings, although editorialists and mainstream elements in society questioned the anti-war turn as well as the challenging rhetoric. King told David Halberstam at the time that he believed in "a reconstruction of the entire society, a revolution of values," to include nationalization of certain industries and guaranteed incomes. Several weeks after the Sacramento speech, King would announce the Poor People's Campaign as a nonviolent alternative to urban rioting (see Joseph Palermo, "Dr. King at Sacramento State College, October 16, 1967," The Huffington Post, 16 Oct 07).
Meanwhile, change was occurring behind the scenes in King's hometown, Atlanta, with the city's recently established baseball team, the Braves, and its multicultural soccer team, the Chiefs, playing important roles.
In considering soccer's place in the American civil rights movement, Atlanta may be the best place to start. The Chiefs formed part of the onrush of major-league sports to the capital of the New South. In rapid succession, Atlanta acquired the Braves from Milwaukee (1966); the NFL's Atlanta Falcons (1966); the Chiefs as a start-up team—owned by the Braves—in the renegade National Professional Soccer League (1967); and the NBA's Atlanta Hawks (1968).
Braves vice-president and business manager Dick Cecil became the "point man" for the Braves and Chiefs in race relations, according to a former associate. Minor-league facilities in Georgia and the Braves' front office quietly were integrated. Both teams committed themselves to community outreach to help smooth hard feelings over construction of Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium, built on speculation before the city had commitments from major-league franchises. The stadium—demolished in 1997—had displaced low-income, primarily black home owners as part of Mayor Ivan Allen's plan to create a "buffer zone" for downtown. In an interview with the Atlanta Constitution in 1985, Cecil recalls:
At the time there was a great deal of feeling toward the stadium. [We] started the "Good Neighbor Program" and spent a lot of time in the neighborhoods. It was the height of the civil rights movement. Feelings were high. I got middle-of-the-night phone calls, people threatening to burn crosses in my yard, calling me names. … I was persona non grata at one local bank. … My three kids took some abuse.
Six years earlier, during spring training in Bradenton, Florida, hotel owners begrudgingly agreed to provide rooms for the Milwaukee Braves' Hank Aaron and other black players, but only after they agreed to eat meals behind a dining-room partition. Aaron would receive death threats in 1973 when closing in on Babe Ruth's home-run record; before hitting his 714th in Cincinnati, tying the record, Reds officials denied Aaron's request for a moment of silence to commemorate the sixth anniversary of King's assassination.
Integrated sport certainly represented new ground for one of the Chiefs' early signings, Kaizer "Boy-Boy" Motaung, who in South Africa's segregated leagues had never played with whites before, never showered or dressed with them. He led the Chiefs in goals in 1968 and helped guide the club to the North American Soccer League title, Atlanta's first professional sports championship. No Atlanta team would claim a championship until the Thunder of World Team Tennis in 1991–92, followed by the Braves in 1995.
With a missionary vision to spread soccer in a nearly soccer-void landscape, the 1968 Chiefs—almost 40 years before English sides such as Arsenal would trigger domestic horror by fielding exclusively foreign-born squads—created a similarly multi-hued mix with not one American. Ten players arrived from the UK, with eight other nations represented. In addition to Motaung, three players came from Africa: Freddie Mwila and Emment Kapengwe from Zambia and Willie Evans from Ghana. From their outreach and the impetus of player-coach Phil Woosnam, they helped develop suburban soccer, transforming a game of ethnic enclaves.
As city and nation looked for models of racial coexistence, the Chiefs offered an exemplar. "That team epitomized to me what soccer is all about," Welsh defender Brian Hughes said in 1993, referring to the blend of cultures and playing styles. "We were the perfect mix."
To Atlanta and the state of Georgia, the Chiefs provided, according to the Braves' Cecil, a "great, great vehicle for internationalism" that the pan-humanist appeal of the civil rights movement also helped develop (see our entry, "Soccer," New Georgia Encyclopedia, 2 Nov 07, for more on the international influences in Georgia soccer).
Motaung and two other South Africans, the late Pule "Ace" Ntsoelengoe and Jomo Sono, would continue to develop their skills, as long as apartheid prevented top-level competition at home, both in the NASL and on township teams in the NASL off-season. Sono and Motaung paid homage to the league's place in elevating their statures by naming new South African teams in the NASL's honor. Sono formed Jomo Cosmos and Motaung the Kaizer Chiefs.
At a 2004 awards dinner and in a recent interview on the Kaizer Chiefs website, Motaung, who is still chairman and chief executive of the team he formed in 1970, credits the Atlanta experience for granting exposure to international soccer that he would not have gained otherwise. The formation of Kaizer Chiefs also afforded stature and boosted confidence for Soweto residents in their struggles against forced segregation ("The Birth of Kaizer Chiefs through the Eyes of Kaizer Motaung," n.d.):
Kaizer Chiefs was formed, I guess, at the right time. We were living through a politically repressive and violent era. For instance, if you defeated Pirates at Orlando Stadium, chances were that it would be difficult to leave the stadium unharmed. Then along came Chiefs. Our dress code was such that it appealed to a lot of people. … [W]e promoted the concept of love and peace, and incorporated it into our slogan. We emphasised through words and deeds, both on and off the field, that soccer was about comradeship, about friendship, sportsmanship.
In fashion, the Chiefs favored Afros and bell-bottoms and backed up the unconventional style on the pitch, becoming the first black side in South Africa to defeat a team from the white leagues. Now, within South Africa, they have a Manchester United–like branding force, lending their name to mobile phones, credit cards and insurance.
In a tribute to Ntsoelengoe following his death in 2006 ("Hamba Kahle, Ace Ntsoelengoe," 9 May 06), Tony Karon alludes to the quiet forms of activism that Motaung, Ntsoelengoe and others demonstrated in their football. Referring to Ntsoelengoe, Karon writes that "by his very existence as an icon of a new form of urban African existence,"
he was innately subversive to the apartheid order. If the apartheid idea was that black people would not have any presence or identity in the city except to work for white people, then the emergence of Ace and his contemporaries as the first generation of urban black celebrities in South Africa (recognizable across social boundaries), using their skills and talents to enrich themselves or (more likely) black club owners was a negation of the very basis of apartheid's version of black identity as a rural, tribal phenomenon.
Ace and his contemporaries were hip and styling, and their game spoke of an attitude of freedom, creativity and power. Whether intending to or not, they were social role models for thousands of city-born black kids who took their destiny into their own hands starting with the 1976 uprising.
The line is not a straight one between King's speech on a Sacramento soccer field in Oct 1967, the Atlanta Chiefs and their championship, and the rise of such South African freedom styling. But, as jazz composer Wynton Marsalis once said, everything is connected.

Collaborative Fund Pulls a Yuri, Offers Blanket Investment in All Brooklyn Beta Startups
"It's a similar approach to Ron Conway and Yuri Milner's deal with Y Combinator," Collaborative Fund founder Craig Shapiro told Betabeat this afternoon, on his way to a board meeting. Mr. Shapiro, whose firm has invested in Kickstarter, Simple, TaskRabbit, and Codecademy, was referring to the blanket investment Collaborative Fund just announced–offering $50,000 a piece in all five of the startups to come out of Brooklyn Beta's "Summer Camp," an incubator of sorts.

foldover clutch
by CLARE V.
While working in French television, Clare Vivier began making bags as a result of her busy travel schedule. She discovered a gap in the market for laptop cases that were functional yet stylish, inspiring her to create her own bag. The concept quickly parlayed into her now eponymous line of handbags and clutches that are as stylish as they are utilitarian. She attributes her sense of chic simplicity to her strong connection with France. Clare's design principle is timeless but her aesthetic is bold, always taking into consideration the elegant tension between modern detail and classic shapes.

The University of Florida's tomato breeding program has hit a home run with Tasti-Lee, a truly vine-ripe tomato with a home-grown taste, deep red color and high lycopene levels.
Jay Scott, the UF tomato breeder responsible for Tasti-Lee, points to the continued stream of consumer e-mails he receives asking where they can buy the fruit as evidence of its popularity.
So different is the entire production and marketing program that Brix isn't even a singular goal.
"We don't talk about Brix," says Greg Styers, sales and product development for Bejo Seeds Inc. in Swannanoa, N.C. "We talk about the balance of flavors.
"What we're going for is that old-time home garden flavor."
Bejo Seeds is the exclusive distributor of Tasti-Lee seeds.
Home gardeners can contact Twilly Seed at (800) 622-7333 for seed.
Despite the variety's apparent success, it hasn't been an easy road, Scott and Styers say.
Scott spent 10 years developing the variety using conventional breeding techniques. Many of the traits responsible for flavor were linked to other undesirable characteristics.
At the same time, five years were spent to develop a brand and market for the variety, Styers says.
Tasti-Lee is being marketed by Lakeland, Fla.-based Publix Super Markets in five southeastern states.
San Antonio, Texas-based H-E-B will market them in Texas.
Tasti-Lee is positioned as a premium tomato and features identifying decals and point-of-sale placards.
"It's not easy to brand produce," Styers says.
Changing growers' mindset hasn't been easy, either.
"It's been a struggle to convince growers that they could grow truly vine-ripe tomatoes," he says. "The first question they ask is,'How does it handle gas?'"
The answer is Tasti-Lee is never exposed to ethylene, Styers says.
Bejo Seeds is registering growers to produce the crop.
Styers compared it to franchising a brand, where growers will have to meet specific quality standards in order to affix the Tasti-Lee decal to the fruit.
So far, the firm has two growers registered in Florida and one in North Carolina.
"Each of the registered growers is reaching out to other Florida growers to grow the product for them," he says. "We're bringing on as many in Florida as it makes sense."

Not so long ago everyone in the business believed they knew exactly where the video gaming industry was headed. Video games for women were primarily designed around "feminine" subjects, such as fashion, cooking, or operating a small business such as a bakery, nursery, etc. The rare action games that featured a female as the main character routinely portrayed her as a young, inexperienced and more often than not unwilling heroine–a poor little gal forced by the whims of fate to risk life and limb to find a lost love, a friend or family member. With notable exceptions such as the Nancy Drew Mysteries, video games for girls tended to be more fluff and glitter than challenging.
Continue Reading →When looking at the best computer games for women, the world of video and computer games, is much like the real world. Stereotypes abound. For women or girls who enjoy video or computers games, it is commonly assumed that most women will prefer puzzles over violent heroes or that girls will like cute pets over menacing monsters. Even for some, the word, "girl gamer", invokes the idea that the scope of video and computer games tailored to women is not on a par with games tailored for males.
Let's take a look at some of the best computer games for women. While some might be based on assumed female interests, they still provide the same level of amusement and imagination as other more male-oriented games. In the future, as more women become involved in the development, programming, and production of video games, particularly games to play on the computer, we can expect a greater variety of games that appeal to girls/women or maybe more men will become interested in role playing games designed for women as well as themselves!

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/18/2012 -- Provacyl is 100% natural testosterone booster for men that encourages the production of testosterone and HGH in men naturally. The pill is completely natural and ensures a "whole body makeover" for men suffering with Andropause, according to MenandLibido.com.
According to a website spokesperson, "Provacyl is a unique formulation for men that has been around for a couple of years and has become a well trusted brand because of its effective and 100% natural formula that boasts of containing amino acids and age proven herbs that are of finest quality. It is dietary supplement that can help boost energy and libido too."
MenandLibido.com has highlighted some of the main features and benefits as part of a Provacyl review, which are as follows:
- Increased Libido – a potent combination of high quality ingredients that include l-arginine, ginkgo biloba, muira pauma and tongat ali works to boost libido and increase erection strength.
- Increased Muscle Mass – Whilst not the primary purpose of the supplement, the increased production of testosterone can help men get better results from their workouts by increasing muscle growth.
- Fat Loss – yet another positive effect of Provacyl is its apparent ability to help with weight loss. The extra testosterone and muscle mass is known to increase fat burning ability of the body to ensure a leaner built.
- Anti-Aging Effects – the supplement is supposed to encourage the production of HGH or human growth hormone that can help slow down and also reverse age effects. HGH has been applauded as the Fountain of Youth by doctors and medics all over the world but it is just a few supplements that are known to stimulate HGH production safely and without side effects.
- Younger Looking Skin- though not the primary purpose of the supplement, increased HGH production results in higher secretion of collagen that helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines making skin look apparently younger and smoother.
- Better Mood – The supplements is also known to help elevate mood and prevent mood swings in middle age men.
The website goes on to highlight the benefits of the natural testosterone pill over the alternatives available to men.
According to MenandLibido.com spokesperson, "Some men consider HGH and testosterone injections for increasing testosterone and HGH. This is not entirely free of side effects. Taking artificial hormone can interfere with the normal working of the endocrine system leading to severe complications and some fatal side effects over time. Not to mention, such injections come with a huge cost too and can set you back by $10,000- $15000 a year. Provacyl, on the other hand, can help one get good results at a fraction of the cost. Though such a supplement is likely to work slowly and require to be consumed for a couple of months, it is supposed to be relatively safer and devoid of side effects."

With medieval flourish and an ornate couturish vibe, Loree Rodkin's jewelry seems fit for a queen. And since designing Michelle Obama's inaugural baubles, she's indeed earned her place as fashion royalty, including her very own spot in the permanent collection at the Smithsonian. Her edgy, handcrafted pieces are a go-to for those who want the finest and the flashiest. Madonna, Elton John and Cher are just a few of the folks who've fallen for her stackable beaded bracelets, goth silver rings, piled-high multi-strand necklaces and big statement earrings.

Hue Go Girl at the Met Gala
The annual Met Costume Institute Gala is typically the fashion world's collective moment to preen around a worthy cause, and last night was no exception. Co-chair Oprah Winfrey brought mega-wattage to the Institute's new exhibit, "American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity," devoted to female archetypes, from the flapper to the Gibson Girl to the Bohemian. Out on the red carpet, full-length strapless numbers and one-shoulder frocks (still!), many in bold, saturated colors, were the fashion archetypes that ruled the evening.
What do you think of these looks from last night?
The American women we loved included flawless Mary J. Blige in a floor-length coral J. Mendel confection. Laundry's long, draped peachy dress in our All Dressed Up sale today (get it here) would do the trick if you're feeling Blige's vibe, and it has the advantage of being totally wearable for both a dressy night out and a beachy weekend brunch.
Bombshell Christina Hendricks also caught our eye in a L'Wren Scott stunner in cornflower blue. Laundry's frock (get it here) has the same entrancing hue, and the one-shoulder look is, as we know, still right on-trend. Keep embellishments simple with this one, and finish the look with footwear--anything from wedges to stilettos would work.
Naomi Watts, though not American, was still totally gorgeous in a fuchsia Stella McCartney gown (having Liev Schrieber on your arm doesn't hurt either). House of Dereon's classically draped dress (get it here) radiates more of a Greek goddess feel, but the vivid color has the same unmistakable punch that Watts sported. Watts opted for a daring red lip to complete her ensemble, but we would probably lean towards a more neutral peachy-pink lipstick to polish off this entrance-making piece.

(UPDATED April 21) Forecasting the effect of the California drought on fresh produce prices may be as difficult as predicting when it will end.
Avocados and lettuce may see the biggest produce price increases this year because of drought conditions in California, according to research conducted by Timothy Richards of the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. In a study that highlighted in the Wall Street Journal on April 15, Richards looked at retail data from the Nielsen Perishables Group to estimate the sensitivity to supply shocks from the drought. That list also includes berries, broccoli, grapes, packaged salad, peppers and tomatoes.
Consumer prices for avocados may increase by 28% and lettuce could jump 34%, according to Richards. Shoppers are least price-senstive to those items, he said, and more willing to pay higher prices to get them.
"For those two commodities, consumers tend to be relatively price insensitive, so you could jack (up) the price of lettuce and avocado, and consumers don't seem to change their habits that much relative to the other commodities," he said.
The research mainly considered the demand and price response to reduced output, Richards said. To estimate the supply effect of the drought, Richards said he relied on estimates published in the media that say from a half-million to 1 million acres of all agricultural land will be hurt by the current California drought. Richards believes between 10% and 20% of the supply of certain fruit and vegetable crops could be lost, based on the number of acres planted to those crops in the state.
Some industry operators said the study overestimates the effect of the drought on production this year. The bigger worry, they say, is the long-term effect.
"We're not too concerned about this summer on getting products out of the Salinas Valley or in the (Central) Valley where the drought is really going to affect them," said Mike Gorczyca, procurement manager for Pro*Act, Monterey, Calif. "The main concern we have is what is going to happen next year or the year after that what is this drought going to do to the trees and the vines."
For this year, Gorczyca said onion sizing in the Huron deal could suffer because of water shortages there. That may create active market conditions before the deal moves into Washington and Idaho, he said.
Strawberry suppliers have expressed concern about next year's spring crop in Oxnard, he said, with expectations that acreage could decline because of water shortages.

After a tragedy at sea claims the life of the presumed heir, Lord Grantham is faced with the possibility that the house he's loved his whole life might someday belong to a distant cousin he's never met. But before he can worry about that he must deal with his scandalous daughter, Lady Mary - considered by many to be the rightful heir to Downton. Even the staff has opinions on the family's affairs. And while most are devoted to those they serve, there are others whose selfishness and scheming do more than simply disrupt the well-oiled inner workings of the estate. As the servants' mischief escalates, even the most faithful employees begin to imagine a different life.
Pitting hundreds of years of British aristocracy against the tides of social upheaval and technical progress, under the looming shadow of World War I, will the fate of Downton and its family - above and below the stairs - be resolved? Or will life be altered so dramatically that its master no longer matters?

Disney Cars to the max! This room is for my 3 year old little boy. This room was done on a small budget. I purchased most of the furniure off Craigslist. My husband painted a lot of things to match the decor. With exception of the decals ( decals also purchased off craigslist) most of the decor was DIY. This room took a long time to complete because waiting for the deals took patience. It was sooo worth it seeing my little boys expression when he walked into his new room. We kept the project from him so he was totally shocked.

Love through the ages
What a brilliant silent movie! Intolerance is filled with tales of love and tragedy. I highly recommend this movie!
AndyPeor -
La más cara y más ambiciosa obra maestra del cine mudo, Intolerancia (1916) de D. W. Griffith es uno de los hitos y puntos de referencia en la historia del cine.
Muchos críticos e historiadores de cine la consideran la mejor película de la época del cine mudo.
Está mastodóntica película también se la subtitulo como "A Sun-Play of the Ages"y "Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages.". Griffith se inspiró para hacer este film tras ver el revolucionario film épico mudo Cabiria (1914) del director italiano Giovanni Pastrone.
El rodaje de Intolerancia fue una empresa colosal lleno de decorados monumentales, trajes lujosos de época, y más de 3,000 extras.
La película se compone de cuatro historias distintas pero paralelas que demuestran la intolerancia de la humanidad en cuatro eras diferentes en la historia del mundo.
B-Movie Ben -
Kill, kill, kill, and to God be the glory, Amen.
An epic tale. Four stories interlocking and sweeping in their power to show how intolerant people can be.
Constance Talmadge, who plays in two of the stories, is best as the Mountain Girl in The Babylonian Story, who gains her freedom after a Judge forces to marry. She is saved by Prince Belshazzar (Alfred Paget) and tries to return the favor when she exposes a plot to destroy the city. The sets in this story were magnificent for the time. The battle scene was as good as any today. The race in the chariot to save Babylon was thrilling.
In the modern tale, we see self-appointed guardians of the public morality (early CPS?) ruining lives based upon their twisted views. They steal Mae Marsh's baby after her husband (Robert Harron) is jailed on trumped up charges. Jealousy and deceit leave one person dead and a race between a car and a train to save another.
The film could have been edited as two of the segments were not really necessary, and the ending left a lot to be desired.
In all tales, we see competing religions; Bel vs Ishtar, Pharisees vs. Christ' Huguenots vs Catholics, and do-gooders vs the common people.
Cat Lady -
Lillian Gish was right, but still a good movie
Gish apparently thought that Griffith was under pressure while making "Intolerance" and had ruined a good movie; perhaps he did, and that is why one's first reaction -- after the initial "wow!" and "gosh, this is a long movie!" -- is a reflection on how good this movie might have been.
The promise is there of something very special, notably in Griffith's superb use of screen spectacle (Babylon, the upper and lower class parties, and the mill strike in particular) contrasted with haunting close-ups of raw human emotion (most notably perhaps in the scene where the Boy sees the Dear One grieving for her father, as well as the expressions on the Friendless One's face as she waits to kill the Musketeer and then afterwards as her guilt keeps bringing her back to the scene); and of delicacy and innuendo, as in the scene where the Dear One and the Boy fight about "letting him in" (having sex) with the door between them, contrasted with the raw sexuality and brutality seen in scenes of the Love Temple and a few decapitations during the Babylonian segments; and overall, the success Griffith has in combining these particular story lines of modern labor and reform issues, the story of Christ, the slaughter of French Huguenots way back when, and the conquest of Babylon by Cyrus the Persian, into one narrative.
It's just not tight enough, though. One wishes for a bit more editing to bring out the common threads in each story line. ***Spoiler alert*** The ending is also unsatisfactory, killing off two of the story lines, and in the third, bringing everything down to a rather boilerplate "can they get to the governor in time" chase sequence. The coda is also a little disconnected, both because of the rather minimal treatment of the New Testament story line earlier in the movie and its sudden prominence here, as well as by Griffith's use of new scenes of modern warfare, etc., being transformed into tolerance rather than the ones we have just spent almost 3 hours getting familiar with.
One gets the sense that Griffith was indeed pressured into a "let's wrap this up" end to the thing before everything had clarified in his overall vision. It could have been truly exceptional. Nonetheless, it sets a bar for film technique, spectacle, and propaganda that people still aim at today; which is not to complain. "Powerful" and "influential" are not bad ways to describe a film.
You just have to wonder, though, what might have been....
A note on the soundtrack -- this version definitely needs something, but when the movie was released, it apparently had a full orchestration. Wouldn't it be wonderful if that score has survived somewhere and now is just waiting to be rediscovered!

intolerance moving picture history
wow i downloaded this and sat and watched it and was gobsmaked,this film is as valid today as it was nearly 100 yrs ago or 3,000yrs ago.
picture qualety is not that bad bit dark in places and sometimes the writing isnot bright enough,it also could have done with a musical score maybe someone can find a score on line in public domain and audio dub it onto the film.
it realy does need music 3 hours of silence but its worth the watch.what i done was put a cpl of damned cds in the multi disc cd player.
but honestly i loved this

Intolerance BRILLIANT!!!
It just doesn't get better than this! This has got to be one of the greatest films ever produced. After completing "Birth of a Nation" Griffith took the money from that film and put it into making this one. Lillian Gish commented later in life that he lacked the confidence he had when making "Birth of a Nation" and cut "Intolerance" under pressure ruining what she believed to be the greatest film ever created. Despite this, the film continues to be considered the greatest film ever made and I personally concur. The message Griffith attempted to bring to the screen remains as poignant today as it was then. Absolutely brilliant! It is to bad this copy does not contain a musical score.

I have just bought Warhamme: Invasion and played a handful of games. I only habe the core set. I have a couple of questions.
1. If a card effect is based on the target's power, does it use the base power, or current power of the card. E.g. there is a Chaos tactic that causes damage to the tare unit equal to its power. If that card was played on orc Boar Boyz and the orc player had an injured unit in play (which increases the Boar Boyz power by 2), would the tactic cause 1 damage (the Boar Boyz base power), or 3 (their enhanced power)?
2. What use is Warpstone Excavation? It is a Support card, so you have to play it in one of your own zones. It therefore corrupts all of tour own units who enter play in that zone. But there are no cards in the core set that make use of your own units being corrupted.
Many thanks.

If you have been waiting to get your College Degree because you don't have time to come to campus every week, wait no longer. Finally there is a way for you to fulfill your dream.
City College of San Francisco has a program designed for the busy person like you. Yes, by enrolling in City College Telecourses you can fulfill all but three of the requirements for an Associate of Arts Degree!
Telecourses are a form of distance learning and are College courses. Instead of going to City College two or three times a week, you watch your lessons at home on your television. In addition, you can video tape your lessons so you can watch them at your convenience and review them as often as you wish.
As a Telecourse student you come to City College just three times a semester: once for an orientation, once for a mid-term and once for a final exam. Each of these is scheduled on a week night and on a Saturday which means you can come to the meeting that is most convenient for you.
Telecourses are not for everybody. To succeed, you have to be self motivated, possess good study skills, and be a mature learner. Most students find that Telecourses are as difficult as on-campus courses.
To receive an AA Degree from City College you need to successfully complete 60 units. 18 of these units have to count toward the satisfaction of the general education requirement for the California State University system or towards satisfaction of the breadth requirements of the College of Letters and Science of the University of California, Berkeley. In addition you need to fulfill the CCSF graduation area requirements.
For general inquiries about CCSF, email firstname.lastname@example.com

The Composers
Henry Purcell
The son of Thomas and Elizabeth Purcell, Henry Purcell began writing music at the age of eight. His musical career began as a chorister in the Chapel Royal, but when his voice matured in 1673, he was appointed as an unpaid assistant to John Hingeston, who was in charge of the King's keyboard and wind instruments. He also acquired experience in organ tuning at Westminster Abbey and was paid to copy books of organ parts.
In 1677 he was appointed Composer-In-Ordinary for the King's Violins and in 1679 succeeded his teacher John Blow as organist at Westminster Abbey, providing him with a salary and a house. It was probably in 1680 or 1681 that he married. From that time he began writing music for the theatre. In July 1682 he was appointed as organist of the Chapel Royal, succeeding Edward Lowe and, in 1683, he succeeded John Hingeston as organ maker and Keeper of the King's instruments.
Purcell's court appointments were renewed by James II in 1685 and by William III in 1689, and on each occasion he had the duty of providing music for the coronation. The last royal occasion for which he provided music was the funeral of Queen Mary in 1695, shortly before his death. It is likely that he died of pneumonia, having spend the night locked out of his house by his wife. He made a will on the day that he died and was buried in Westminster Abbey on 26 November 1695.

Mayor of Shelby Dan Harris said this was the first time the city was awarded the grant.
Harris said he had been working since 2009 to get the grant.
"I am really glad we could get funded," said Harris.
"We worked on it every year since 2009. Things kind of fell in our favor this year," he said.
Harris said the grant is designed for low to very low-income residents.
"We had about nine applicants in this year's grant application," he added.
"Four of the nine were chosen based on income, home ownership, the overall structure of the home and a few other factors. Applicants also had to own their home, continued Harris.
According to the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA), the Homeowner Rehabilitation Reconstruction Program is a competitive grant program that provides assistance to low-income families that are making major repairs or reconstructing a home.
Families whose household gross income is at or below 80 percent of the area median income as determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development are eligible for the program, according to the MDA.
The grant is awarded to cities all across Mississippi, and cities and counties use the program's funding to help the applicants who were chosen in making repairs to their home, according to the MDA.
Around $300,000 in grant money was awarded to three homeowners from Cleveland, Duncan and Shaw during the last funding cycle.
Municipalities, counties and relevant non-profits to assist the eligible homeowners can use funding from the program — these entities often apply on behalf of the homeowners.
Repairs focus on correcting defects in plumbing, roofing, heating and insulation, but houses in great disrepair can also be demolished and rebuilt, as is the case with the Bolivar County recipients.
There are strict guidelines for eligibility, including complete ownership of the house, the home must be in dire need of reconstruction and the homeowner must be in a low-income financial bracket.
Harris said some of the towns that previously applied for the grant were not eligible this time.
"We will build four new homes, three two-bedroom homes and one four-bedroom home," said Harris. "Hopefully, the project will be completed within four months, and we will then get ready for the next funding year, which will start around February or March."
For more information about the Homeowner Rehabilitation Program, visit the website for the Mississippi Development Authority.

Classy and comfortable.
I have always loved Bebe logo T-shirts but don't buy them often due to the price, so when I saw this one in black and white I just had to have it! This shirt to appeared to be longer in length than what actuallly came in the mail....so that was a bummer for me I would've have loved for it to be a little longer but overall I love it. You can dress this t -shirt up and wear it with a pencil skirt and a Blazer or dress down of course with some skinny jeans.
