Museums and looted art: the ethical dilemma of preserving world cultures
How can western 'universal' museums acquire and display artefacts without stoking the illegal arts trade and reproducing colonialist narratives?

Every month produces new cases of the "repatriation" of antiquities from American museums to their countries of origin.
In late May, Italian authorities displayed 25 looted artefacts retrieved from the United States. They included some objects smuggled by the infamous dealer Giacomo Medici, convicted in 2004 for selling thousands of stolen pieces of Greco-Roman art from Italy and the Mediterranean. A few weeks earlier, the Cleveland Museum of Art returned a 10th-century statue of the Hindu god Hanuman to Cambodia. The idol had been hacked from the Prasat Chen temple in Siem Reap in the 1960s before journeying via a litany of dealers into the holds of the Cleveland Museum of Art in 1982.
In April, homeland security agents relieved the Honolulu Museum of Art of seven ancient Indian artefacts believed to have been acquired through Subhash Kapoor, a New York-based art dealer.
World Heritage Committee opens with an appeal to protect cultural heritage sites targeted for destruction
Bonn (Germany), 28 June—An appeal for the international community to counter the new threat of violent extremism and cultural cleansing was issued at the opening of the World Heritage Committee, which opened its session in Bonn, Germany, today. The Committee will remain in session until 8 July under the chair of Maria Böhmer, Minister of State at the German Federal Foreign Office and member of the Bundestag. In a video message, German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke of the importance of heritage for our understanding of cultures.
Islamic State Is Selling Looted Art Online for Needed Cash

The Whatsapp message appeared on his iPhone: photos of an ancient Mesopotamian vase worth $250,000, part of a highly-valued set, is waiting to be extracted.
The recipient, Amr Al Azm, replied that he was interested. How to proceed? A message from a different account followed. The vase could be smuggled through Lebanon.
Al Azm, an anthropology professor in Ohio, was faking it, as he does when photos of looted antiquities are sent to him in the belief that he is a collector or dealer. He is a detective - - self-appointed -- hoping to save some of mankind's rarest and most vulnerable artifacts by tracking the burgeoning antiquities trade of Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
BERLIN — Jun 29, 2015, 11:14 AM ET
By DAVID RISING Associated Press
The U.N.'s cultural agency said Monday the destruction of antiquities and heritage sites in conflict zones by the Islamic State and other extremist groups could amount to war crimes.
The UNESCO World Heritage Committee, meeting in Bonn, noted the Islamic State's destruction of the ancient city of Hatra in Iraq and expressed "deep concern" about the Syrian archaeological gem of Palmyra, which the group captured in May. Both are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport and the State Administration for Cultural Heritage of the People's Republic of China have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which will run for five years and which will include aspects such as the protection and restoration of cultural heritage, underwater archaeology, museum exhibitions and the illegal trafficking of cultural assets.
Signed by the State Secretary for Culture, José María Lassalle and the Chinese Vice Minister for Culture, Li Xiaojie, the MoU provides for both governments to promote and support:

U.S. efforts at protecting and preserving international cultural property, which currently is spread across no fewer than seven federal agencies, may soon be better coordinated. On June 1st, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Protect and Preserve International Cultural Property Act (H.R. 1493 or the Act), which would establish a new position within the Department of State – the U.S. Coordinator for International Cultural Property Protection (the Coordinator). The House bill sponsors are: Rep. Eliot L. Engel (D-NY); Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-NJ); Rep. Edward R. Royce (R-CA); Rep. William R. Keating (D-MA); Rep. Albio Sires (D-NJ); Rep. Ted Poet (R-TX); Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA); Rep. David N. Cicilline (D-RI); and Rep. Juan Vargas (D-CA). Although no corresponding bill has yet been introduced in the Senate, a corresponding bill is anticipated. The Coordinator would work with federal agencies to coordinate and promote their activities – this would include diplomatic, military, and law enforcement activities. The Act would also create a Coordinating Committee on International Cultural Property Protection, which is to be chaired by the Coordinator, with the committee members comprised of representatives of the Department of State, the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Justice, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Smithsonian Institution, and such other entities as the chair may deem appropriate

Despite a raging four-year civil war, rebel factions and Syrian officials are working together to protect the country's rich heritage sites from each other's bombs — and the Islamic State.
Across the country, irreplaceable artifacts have been under siege since 2011, when fighting erupted between the Syrian government and rebels seeking to overthrow President Bashar Assad.
Italy's Artifacts Police Wage Global War, Recover 137,000 Objects
"Culture commandos" combine the roles of archaeologists, paleontologists, art historians, and combat-trained shock troops.

MORGANTINA, Sicily—Three thousand years ago, this broad ridge 50 miles west of Mount Etna was the perch of a magnificent city. Its monumental architecture and refined art, its irrigation systems and agricultural wealth, made it a leading Mediterranean power half a millennium before the rise of Imperial Rome.
Today, most of its wonders lie under acres of wild fennel and oleander. In several hours amid the ruins, this reporter encountered only five tourists, two unpaid volunteers, and not a single guard or maintenance worker. Ancient Morgantina is among archaeology's most neglected secrets.

BRITAIN is to back a modern-day team of "monuments men" to salvage the world's cultural treasures from destruction in war.
The government is to help fund a group of "rescue archaeologists" to go to Iraq to salvage treasures bulldozed by Islamists and will host a summit in September to set up a cultural protection fund to support future missions.

Mystic — When Timothy J. Brown originally moved to the area in 1993 to take a job as Foxwoods Resort Casino's vice president of hotel operations, he took a liking to the Inn at Mystic.
He and his wife used to eat once a week at the property's Flood Tide Restaurant. He still remembers the maître d's name.
On Monday, Brown, of Noank, and a partner, Michael D'Amato, president of D'Amato Builders and Advisors of Norwich, bought the property, paying $5.35 million for 15 acres of real estate that includes some 60 motel rooms in two buildings, the restaurant, a mansion reserved for weddings and other events, and an outbuilding known as the Gate House, where Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall honeymooned in 1945.
The new owners plan to spend close to an additional $1 million to return the property to its former glory, Brown said Tuesday in an interview.
"We want to bring a bit of life back to it," he said. "Everyone you talk to around here remembers it as a great place."
Brown, whose post-Foxwoods casino career has taken him to Salamanca, N.Y., Oklahoma (twice), South Dakota, Miami and the Bahamas, met Tuesday with the inn's employees, several of whom later hailed the transaction.
"This is very exciting," said Awilda Pantoja, a manager who has worked at the property for 16 years. "(Former owner Joyce "Jody" Dyer) couldn't have found a more perfect buyer. They told us about their plans and it all sounds so wonderful."
Art Watson, the property's director of maintenance for more than 30 years, said the grounds and buildings were in desperate need of improvements.
"It's gone downhill," he said of the property.
Brown said he and D'Amato, who have worked together on casino projects in the past, will begin renovating all of the guest rooms on the property immediately and will "redesign and rebrand" the restaurant. The Flood Tide, long popular with both locals and tourists, had closed in November, Brown said.
"We hope to have the vast majority (of the renovation work) completed before Memorial Day," he said. Plans call for enlarging the motel lobby and fashioning three distinct areas of the restaurant, "one upscale, one more casual and a big lounge."
The new owners also intend to focus on the event side of the business, courting weddings, parties, corporate gatherings and pursuing "music opportunities."
"Our goal is to create a real destination experience," Brown said.
The property now employs nine people. Brown said he and D'Amato hope eventually to employ 50 to 60.
The resurrection of the Inn at Mystic, long owned by Dyer and her sister Nancy Gray, should be a boon to Mystic tourism, said Ed Dombroskas, executive director of the Eastern Regional Tourism District.
"It's the icon of Mystic lodging properties," he said. "We get more inquiries about it from people looking to stay there and because of its history. We're very pleased that it's going to continue."
The mansion on the property was built in 1904 by Katherine Haley, widow of one of the brothers who owned the Fulton Fish Market in New York City. W. Frederic Mosel purchased the mansion in the 1940s. Dyer's father bought land adjacent to the mansion in 1963, and there built the Mystic Motor Inn and the Flood Tide Restaurant.
In 1970, Dyer and Gray took over the inn, which acquired the mansion in 1980.
The sellers in the transaction were represented by Rick Weiner and Colette Harron of William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty. Michael Franklin of Coldwell Banker represented the buyers.
The property originally listed more than a year ago for $8.5 million.

Best and Worst Oscar Dresses
Truly gorgeous (and hideous!) red carpet looks
Julia Roberts
Valentino can do no wrong! Our fave pretty woman rocked this gorg look in 2001, making her one of our choices for best dressed!
Best, 2001
Penelope Cruz
We couldn't think of a better combo than Penelope Cruz and Versace! She stole the show in 2007 with this gorgeous and elaborate gown.
Best, 2007
Celine Dion
A backward white suit, dark shades, and a hat? Sorry Celine, but you look like an insane Good Humor Man.
Worst, 1999
Shirley MacLaine
Classic and glamorous, this star's sparkly gown was an instant hit, and landed her on the Best Gowns of All Time list.
Best, 1975
Kate Hudson
Another Versace hit! Kate Hudson is glowing in this gorgeous gown with her vintage jewels.
Best, 2003
Whoopi Goldberg
Whoop…sie. This dress reminds us of a Disney villain. Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, anyone?
Worst, 1993
Michelle Williams
Stunning in Vera Wang! Loving Michelle's bold choice of color, tied together with the red lips.
Best, 2006
Lauren Bacall
Move over Cate Blanchett, because there's a new (er, old) pregnant stunner on the carpet! Humphrey Bogart's special lady and baby looked fierce in Christian Dior at the 1952 Oscars.
Best, 1952
Sharon Stone
The daring Ms. Stone used her basic instincts when she paired her husband's Gap button-down with a lilac satin Vera Wang skirt, and we're loving it!
Best, 1998
Grace Kelly
Look up the word "glamour" in the dictionary and you will find a pic of Grace Kelly at the 1956 Oscars. The real-life princess looked regal in a Helen Rose creation.
Best, 1956
Sorry Björk, you're a few years early for the role of the Swan Princess! We love original pieces, but some should be left in the closet (or the oven).
Worst, 2001
Natalie Portman
A Greek goddess in gray, Natalie Portman topped off this Lanvin creation with a diadem and minimal accessories. Gorg!
Best, 2005
Audrey Hepburn
Romeo and Juliet…Kate and Will…Starsky and Hutch…Some people are just meant to be together. Hubert de Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn were no exception, and our fave waif dazzled her way into America's heart wearing Givenchy's glamorous design in 1954. Talk about a perfect fit!
Best, 1954
Kim Basinger
Runaway bride or the 1990 Oscars? To be determined. Sorry Kim, not your best!
Worst, 1990
Mila Kunis
We wish we were just friends with Mila Kunis so we could borrow her uh-mazing lavender Elie Saab haute couture gown from the 2011 Oscars. Wow!
Best, 2011
Jennifer Aniston
It was a pleasant surprise when the queen of the LBD changed it up and made an appearance in this gorg Valentino number. One thing that remains unchanged: her gorg glowing tan!
Best, 2009
Hilary Swank
The sheer and the shades of pink are just all wrong for an Oscar dress, or maybe for any dress!
Worst, 2003
Nicole Kidman
The Balenciaga-clad beauty's red scarf followed her all night at the 2007 Oscars…as did the eyes of every person on the carpet.
Best, 2007

Occupational Hazard: Stoudemire, Arenas knee issues
Updated: November 12, 2007, 11:10 AM ETBy Guy Lake | Special to ESPN.com
Two players taken in the first round in most leagues are struggling with knee issues post surgery. Gilbert Arenas has not performed anywhere close to expectations, and Amare Stoudemire has missed three games with right knee soreness. I have enlisted the expertise of ESPN's resident injury guru, Stephania Bell, to help us understand what might be going on with each player.
Guy: Let's start with Amare. Last year he came back from microfracture surgery on his left knee and played all 82 games ...

The team's deliberate focus on the four stakeholder communities is what makes this initiative so unusual, Kelly said, but also could be the root of its success in helping to "unclog the pipeline" that leads from scientific discoveries to real-world benefits for patients.
It represents a challenge, as well, in fostering a united mission among large and small companies, sophisticated investors, top-ranked researchers and entrepreneurs, according to Matthew K. Hudes, Deloitte's U.S. leader for biotechnology.
"The problems in life sciences cannot be solved without the key players working together, not only from the private and public sector, but also from university researchers who are the starting point for innovative breakthroughs," Hudes said. "Our goal is to develop a model for an innovation ecosystem that enables those breakthroughs to improve human health worldwide."
In a separate initiative, Deloitte and QB3 will launch a program of bioscience industry awards and speaker forums to recognize scientific innovators and entrepreneurs, and provide a platform for networking and learning.

Grovetown woman charged after passenger dies in wreck
A 20-year-old Grovetown woman was charged with failure to yield and second degree vehicular homicide after her passenger died from injuries sustained in a crash Aug. 12 on Gordon Highway.
Grovetown officials approved a temporary ban on billboards at Monday's city council meeting.
The moratorium prohibits new signs bigger than 25 square feet.
"I'm very concerned Grovetown has become a target for outdoor advertising, billboard companies," Councilman Sonny McDowell said. "We need some breathing room."
During the moratorium, Georgia Municipal Association staffers will review the city's sign ordinances through the free Ordinance Review Program. The staff will then make recommendations to amend the ordinance.

Two nations, each with populations of more than 30 million people and each possessing multibillion-dollar economies, are at odds over a rock in the ocean.
The land grab is between Spain and Morocco, but the territorial dispute could just as easily be between several other major countries. India and Pakistan, China and Japan, Greece and Turkey — each are involved in a complex dispute over their territories and borders.
"Sovereignty issues are notoriously difficult to resolve," said Bernard Oxman, a professor of international law at the University of Miami (Fla.). "It's always hard, but not impossible, to get a country to relinquish territory."
Most often, these long running, claim-jumping disputes aren't about the land, but what's beneath it: fish, minerals and oil. But in others, such as last week's flare-up between Spain and Morocco, the tangle boils down to the age-old forces of wealth and hubris.
Specks in the Sea
To Spain, the disputed island off the northern coast of Morocco is called Perejil. To Morocco, it's Leila. Spain has held title to the island for more than three centuries, but hasn't occupied the land in 40 years. In that time, the island's caves have been a hideout for illegal immigrants sneaking into Spain from Morocco.
"It's worthless territory," said Martin Pratt, an executive officer at the International Boundaries Research Unit in Durham, England. "These fights often are just in the foreground, with larger animosities in the background."
The conflict dates back to 1956 when Morocco gained its independence from France. Since then, Moroccans have demanded that Spain hand over all of its protectorates on Morocco's northern coast, including the island of Perejil.
The incident has parallels to a 1996 dispute between Greece and Turkey over the Kardak Rocks, a cluster of inhabited islands about four miles off the coast of Greece. Maritime boundaries in the Aegean Sea have always been a sticking point for the two countries, so when Greece declared its ownership of the land, the two nations nearly went to war. In the end, both did little more than exchange harsh words.
Turkey and Greece also have been in discussions since January to reunify war-torn Cyprus, which both countries have laid claims to for nearly 30 years. The United Nations last scolded Turkey for failing to meet a negotiation deadline.
Offshore Gold
Like most territorial disputes, the Spain-Morocco dust-up is about resources more important than the goats that call Perejil home.
"One of the big reasons these conflicts exist is not the land per se, but the maritime area they generate rights to," Pratt said.
According to the United Nations' Law of the Sea, passed in 1982, a country is granted 12 miles of territorial water off its coastline, and as well as 200-mile exclusive economic zone, which gives the coastal country rights to the everything below the sea in that region.
Oxman, who contributed to the U.N. law, said that most maritime disputes erupt when economic zones overlap. "Maritime boundaries are fiendishly difficult to agree on," he said.
In 1998, Eritrea and Yemen reached a settlement, with the help of some international arbitration, over the Hanish islands, located in the Red Sea. Oil and tourism drove an invasion by Eriteria — "a serious international incident," according to Pratt — but courts later handed the land back Yemen.

Daniel Bice, the Journal Sentinel's watchdog columnist, holds politicians and the powerful accountable
Ron Johnson dismisses attack ads on global warming
A major environmental group has announced that it will be spending $2 million on ads criticizing three House Republicans and Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson for their views on global warming. »Read Full Blog Post

Apparently Ron John thinks it only matters what he says in election years. It also would seem he has been indoctrinated to the ways of Washington DC. Career politicians are going the way of the union Ronny, belly up.
All R0-J0 needs to do is put that tin-foil helmet on.........then that 2M $'s spent by the eco-freaks will be wasted?
WE Energies rates in Milwaukee Co.are ever increasing with no cause from climate change.
-How about Senator Johnson doing something to stifle that job killing / middle class cash robbing effort by Gale Klappa and the board ?
-The head of a statewide monopoly should not make multi-million $$$$$ EVERY year .Hide replies
Gale has looted almost $50 million over the last five-years from rate-payers.
Pretty nifty compensation for someone who runs a m-o-n-o-p-o-l-y.
Don't forget his accomplices on the PSC.
Can we dismiss Sun-Spot Ronnie as a product of Man-Made Bloviation?
Senator Ronald J. Laughingstock believes global warming is caused by sunspots.
And, Cigarettes aren't addictive and certainly don't cause cancer.
Enough said about this embarrassing clown.
Sen. Laughingstock - The Senior Senator from the State of Wisconsin.
How embarrassing? - Just watch...........................
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah7QhyI3ausHide replies
You're right, it's all the SUV's fault, it couldn't POSSIBLY have anything to do with that shiny ball in the sky because there's NO WAY that could POSSIBLY affect the entire solar system.....
That argument has been floated a million times and shot down time and time again. Please stop treating this important issue like any other partisan issue.
So you're saying the Sun has NO effect on climate?
Instead, you're claiming that it's man's fault?
Talk about junk science.
LGR - nice try.
Everyone knows the gambit.
Anthropomorphic climate change deniers don't have to "Prove" or "Disprove" anything.
All they have to do is produce (Buyoff) a few skeptics, and POOF!
ACC is no longer a problem!
Right LGR?
And all those right-wing authoritarian followers such willing suckers.
Speaking of buying off, maybe you need to take a look at who's pushing the "climate change" and who's getting rich off it.
But keep on thinking all those good "progressives" are doing it for the benefit of humanity....
What do you think of the people making money off of denying climate change?
Again, look I realize cleaning up our act is going to be costly, but don't make up lies just because you don't want to say you care about nothing other than money in the here and now.
Admit that and we can move forward.
With 97% of climate change scientists saying that man-made climate change is real and threatening, my question is, why do you want to kill us?
Truth is that this awareness is now so widespread there is a burgeoning industry around sustainability, so the job killer argument is bogus.
krshorewood - there's no reasoning with people like LGRepublican. Rush has told him that climate change is a hoax. He believes. They dismiss the 97% by throwing out the term "junk science" simply because it doesn't fit into their political belief. It's the same battle biologists face with evolution. Many Repubs are beholden to religious right groups so they dismiss the theory of evolution as 'junk science" simply because it doesn't fit into their god-driven, political agenda.
In sum, if you don't have facts on your side, resort to name calling and yelling. i.e., when told that 97% of climate scientists believe that climate change is real and is man made, just yell "junk science." When biologists try to explain the theory of evolution to you, just yell "junk science!" I'm sure many people yelled "junk science" at Copernicus when he postulated that the sun was center of the solar system, rather than the earth. And so on, and so on...
In your defense, you offer some clown from the "Heartland Institute" whose sole purpose it is to run interference for vested industrial interests.
Another phoney right-wing think tank that has absolutely NO CREDIBILITY!
A July 2011 Nature editorial points out the group's lack of credibility:
"Despite criticizing climate scientists for being overconfident about their data, models and theories, the Heartland Institute proclaims a conspicuous confidence in single studies and grand interpretations....makes many bold assertions that are often questionable or misleading.... Many climate sceptics seem to review scientific data and studies not as scientists but as attorneys, magnifying doubts and treating incomplete explanations as falsehoods rather than signs of progress towards the truth. ... The Heartland Institute and its ilk are not trying to build a theory of anything. They have set the bar much lower, and are happy muddying the waters."
This League of Conservation Voters is hand in hand with President Obama on climate change/globalwarming or whatever they're caling I these days. He's one of them.
That's why they won't criticize him for flying his dog up to Marthas Vineyard for his vacation on a separate Marine MV 22 Osprey.
They're perfectly fine with Obama contributing to global warming by sending his dog on a separate military aircraft. I guess the dog just isn't good enough to fly on AF1.
How special.Hide replies
Fewer vacations than his predecessors...all the way back to Carter if I'm not mistaken.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/bo.asp You'll believe what Fox News tells you, but dismiss what 97% of climate scientists tell you. I guess we know all we need to know about you.
If you don't want to follow the link, the "Obama separate flight for the dogs" story is a compete fabrication.
Yea - That separate MV 22 Osprey also carried a contingent of secret service personnel.
Did you forget to mention that milwaukeenot?
So that makes it OK......
How Special -
It is a proven fact that a steady diet of elephant dung from the giant intellectual cesspool, otherwise known as Fox & Friends and AM talk radio, will turn you brain to MUSH!
Need Proof?
milwaukeenot - Exhibit A.
So we are now paying the Secret Service to dog sit the first puppy?
How comforting.
Who owns the dog? Who is responsible for the dog? That would be Obama. The Secret Service is not responsible for his public image dog.
Bush's Barney? And the videos they made with him starring. I'm sure he was NEVER transported anywhere on taxpayer money, right?
Milwaukeenot - Here is an idea, Why don't you just grow a pair and "suck-it-up" like a real man.
Your fraud has been exposed.
Your apoplectic display of hatred for OUR President is clearly without limit.
If you were half the man your mother was, you would just admit your blinding animosity for the president and just call it quits.
But then, we all know - That is a VERY BIG "IF."
Leave the household pets out of it. They are apolitical.
The rubes will swallow anything, won't they? Now they complain that a dog was added to a plane making a trip anyway. If they don't want to be considered idiots they need to be a bit more selective in the BS they propagate.
milwaukeesnot - News Flash!!! Barack Obama was re-elected President of the United States. Get over it, for God's sake!
AF1 could not be taken on the trip as there wasn't an airport with a large enough runway to accommodate that plane. As a result, two smaller jest were used to transport POTUS, his family, staff, and secret service. The dog flew on the flight with staff, secret service, etc. I suppose POTUS could be criticized for being a poor dog owner, but to claim that a separate flight was chartered just for the dog is a complete fabrication, and demonstrates the lack of intellectual curiosity of some people.
Here we go again......another Ron Johnson article, triggering childish lefty rants from the Russ Fools-gold wierdos.......
IMO, Senator Johnson is a idealogue, and not a pragmatist. I think it will cost him his seat in 2016 now that the tea party wave has run it's course.Hide replies
Yup, and the smackdown he got from our next President HRC was icing on the tea cakes.
I feel, it being a presidential election year will have more to do with him going back to work at the plastics plant than with him not being to bright.
His old job at the plant is no longer available. A robot is now doing it.
Senator Sockpuppet could be easily converted to a robot, he already has the vacant, glassy eyes.
In an interview with the Journal Sentinel's Bill Glauber, Johnson said he was not very familiar with the league, though he said he believes it is an "extreme environmental group.................There's a whole lot of things rojo is unfamiliar with, starting with being a real Senator.Hide replies
Any thing he doesn't understand is extreme, which leaves a lot of things open.
WI Senator rojo, a graduate of the Alec sponsored and koch brothers minion chucklesthekl0wn sykes school of daily talking points.Hide replies
Congratulations! You managed to fit all the boogeymen into one sentence.
You people make it so easy.
LG, your kind is like putty in smart progressives hands, it's a good thing WI has one real Senator in Ms. Baldwin.
Smart Progressives = Oxymoron
Yes, let's just do everything as if it is 1950, there haven't been any advancements at all in 60 years.

Stewart rushed 14 times for 39 yards Sunday versus Tampa Bay. He now has 47 carries for 164 yards on the season.
DeAngelo Williams didn't play in this game, so Stewart got more carries, and he clearly did nothing with them. He shouldn't be owned in pretty much any league at this point.

I am spiritual, in the sense that I believe everyone has the ability to improve their lives themselves, through chakra-cleansing, meditation, becoming more in-tune with your sub-conscious, you name it, without the help of a god that may or may not exist, that the mind is more powerful than most people believe (ever heard of placebos?). I'm trying to be more serious about it, but I'm still just having fun with it for now. By no means does that mean i judge other's beliefs. If it works for you, who am I to say it's wrong? The only reason I would have a problem is if you try to push it on to me. "You need Jesus in your life, son." No, what I need is people to mind their own damn business. I've gotten by for 20+ years just fine without your god, thank you very much. One thing I hate more than anything is closed-minded people wanting everybody to be just like them. Especially if you're elitist about it.
That being said, I'm a very open-minded person, I don't judge a book by it's cover, I don't judge people by their religion or other beliefs, etc...so please, don't misjudge me based on your past experiences. I'm not like most guys. I actually think with my heart, not my penis. Sex is meaningless if you don't care for one another. I'd rather masturbate otherwise.

Glamming up at the Venice Film Festival, Monica Bellucci attended the premiere of "Un Ete Brulant" on Friday night (September 2).
The "Whistleblower" actress looked gorgeous as she worked the red carpet at Palazzo del Cinema venue clad in a draping black strapped dress.
Having a blast at the Venice Film Festival, Monica Bellucci was spotted at a photo call for "Un Ete Brulant" earlier today (September 2).
The "Whistleblower" actress looked beautiful as she posed outside the Palazzo del Casino, sporting a black jacket, white top and black trousers.
She's always been a super-hottie, and Monica Bellucci doesn't leave much to the imagination in the June 2011 issue of Elle France magazine.
The "Sorcerer's Apprentice" actress gets down to her birthday suit and strikes a few strategic poses to show off her fabulous form.
One of the elite honorees at the annual Italian event, Monica Bellucci was toasted at the 57th Taormina Film Fest in Taormina over the weekend.
The 46-year-old actress spent Saturday night (June 11) attending the "Kung Fu Panda 2" premiere and opening ceremony - during which time she was presented with the Taormina Arte Award.
Continuing their work on "Manuale d'amore 3," Monica Bellucci and Robert De Niro shot scenes for the film in Rome, Italy on Tuesday evening (October 5).
The "Whistleblower" babe looked focused as she and her "Casino" co-star plugged away at the flick, hopping into a slick white vehicle during one of the many scenes.
Looking for some active quality time, Monica Bellucci was spotted on the beaches of Sabaudi, Italy on Tuesday (August 10).
The "Sorcerer's Apprentice" actress was joined by her family and friends for the seaside afternoon as she watched her eldest daughter Deva Cassel and baby girl Leonie Cassel enjoy themselves.
Enjoying some quality time with her little one, Monica Bellucci was spotted lunching with baby daughter Leonie and her nanny in Rome, Italy on Sunday (August 8).
The 45-year-old Italian actress cradled her gorgeous girl in her arms, having given birth to Leonie back on May 21st of this year.
She gave birth to her daughter Leonie just six weeks ago, and earlier today (July 2) Monica Bellucci was spotted back at work.
The 45-year-old Italian hottie looked amazing as she worked it for the camera in a new ad shot for the launch of Martini Gold.

In loving memory of our amazing wife, mother, sister, aunt, and Gummi, we announce the passing of Nancy Buesching Tucker, a resident of rural Churubusco, in Tucson, Ariz. on April 13, 2012.
Growing up on the family farm south of Churubusco with beloved siblings (and outlaws) Ken (Janne) Buesching, Arcola, Bonnie (Al) Gore, Warsaw, Marlene Augenstein, Fort Wayne and Don (Colleen)Buesching, Noblesville, a passion for gardening emerged with the only lingering question being which sibling threw her precious bride doll to the pigs.
COLUMBIA CITY — Nancy J. Grissom, 61, of Richland Township died at 9:44 p.m. Monday, April 16, 2012, at Parkview Whitley Hospital emergency room.
She was born Jan. 2, 1951, in Johnstown, Pa., a daughter of Richard D. and Jean L. (Baltzer) Wolfe.
She graduated from Columbia City Joint High School and Indiana University with a bachelor's degree in education.
On Sept. 7, 1974, she was united in marriage to Michael W. Grissom. They made their home in Albion until 1988, when they moved to their present home.
SOUTH WHITLEY — Jodi and Ethan Metzger had known they were having triplets since their eighth week of pregnancy, but what they did not know was that on Valentine's Day they would receive three beautiful gifts from Heaven.
The Metzger triplets were not expected to be born Feb. 14, but Jodi drove herself to her doctor's appointment earlier in the day, and within the hour, she was scheduled for a cesarean section to deliver.
"The doctor got things in motion, and he told me to call the babies' daddy right away," said Jodi.
COLUMBIA CITY — As expected, about the only discussion regarding the wind issue with the Whitley County Board of Commissioners Monday was that there would be no discussion regarding the wind issue; not yet, at least.
Whitley County joint Building and Planning Director Dave Sewell was on hand at Monday's meeting to deliver and "certify" a copy of the proposed ordinance change for zoning, as it pertains to wind energy conversion systems.
Sewell explained that all of the proper and required steps to this point had been taken.
CHURUBUSCO — Columbia City's baseball team continued its winning ways Monday night against county-rival Churubusco, defeating the Eagles 11-3.
Columbia City tallied 12 hits, including a home run by Connor Slavich, triples by Slavich and Derek Lamle and a double by Jordan Bickle.
Columbia City got a 2-0 lead in the first inning and built it to a 6-0 advantage by the top of the third. 'Busco got its first run in the fifth inning, but Columbia City retaliated with five more runs to make the score 11-1 going into the bottom of the fifth.
COLUMBIA CITY — Whitley County is currently doing its part to go green. According to Whitley County Board of Commissioners Chairman Don Amber, about a year ago the county applied for and received an energy grant in the amount of $265,000.
The county used the grant at the Whitley County Jail, as well as switch to more energy efficient products for the jail's entire heating system.
According to the grant administrator's records, the project in the jail saved the county $8,520 in electricity and $18,340 in natural gas compared to the previous year.

Or as former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara put it decades later, it gave "complete authority to the president to take the nation to war."Read More »
Encore for Proprietary Medical Schools?
Conventional wisdom holds that America faces a growing physician shortage and that one way of responding is by creating new medical schools.

Day 13- All Good things
The following morning we packed up and walked over for breakfast at the hotels restaurant before heading north in the chill morning air. I had re-installed all of my cold weather liners in my Revit suit and was glad of that. The ride through the quaint, touristy north end of Jackson Hole was another trip into a by-gone era, and I loved the (most likely) carefully planned look of it. It reminded me of Banff on a much more intimate scale. Not far north we stopped for a few quick (helmet on) pictures of the Grande Tetons, but it is hard to impress people that live beside the Canadian Rockies, as Chris pointed out. The run to Yellowstone gate was picturesque as expected and at our first stop for gas, and souvenirs I bid my fellow adventurers goodbye. We wished each other safe travels and I was gone.
I wanted to give them a chance to actually see the park, which I did not have time to do. I had 2 days to cover the better part of 4 states and part of one province, including today. I had to get after it. The remainder of the trip through Yellowstone was for me an exercise in traffic frustration and for the time spent, a total set back in miles.
I stopped to take 4 pictures the whole breadth of the park and had to suffice with what my eyes and brain could process as I moved (there would be another time and trip). I exited through the Northeast gate and along highway 212 into Montana. A brief stop for food and fuel in Cooke City MT, and I was across Bear Tooth Pass. If I had to pick one pavement highlight from the trip, that would be it, without question! Anyone who knows that pass understands, and if you don't,
get to know it
After that the story just becomes about
making miles
across Interstate highways and is uninteresting at best. I managed to go from Jackson Hole Wyoming to Dickinson, North Dakota that day, a distance of over 980 km.
The following day saw me reach Winnipeg, Manitoba and my parents place. I spent the rest of that with family remembering a
a daughter
/ a mother
gone far
too soon
from us. The next couple of days and the trip home were somber and personal. The weather fit the tone going home.
"I'm a long way from home, but I know just where I belong. It's a long way I'm going, but my heart will still carry me on
Long Way From Home
When I read ride reports, I find the best ones are ones that explore the human side as well as the geographical. They are the ones that I remember. That in a way is what this report is about,
. I was very excited about the trip to Moab and spending time with friends. The trip sadly will always have darker memories associated with it now.
Like a new place, so to with people, we never really get to know them completely. We see what we want, or
what they allow us to see
. We remember them
how we want to
I choose to remember both my sister and Moab
very, very fondly
, and always will.
Thanks for coming along.
I've learned so much from my mistakes. I'm thinking of making a few more.
