Rutgers coach Kyle Flood stands on the field after a penalty call during the Aug. 29 game in Fresno, Calif.
- Filed Under
The only notable industry located in the rural, creek-nestled town of Perkiomenville, Pa., is a quarry - a large open pit from which gray-colored rock and minerals are extracted to help form asphalt and concrete for construction.
In other words, it's the kind of place where foundations are built.
Perkiomenville native Chris Muller adopted the mindset of his home one night late in January 2012, when the Rutgers football team was without a head coach and the top-ranked recruiting class in school history was in danger of crumbling. Muller gathered fellow Pennsylvanians Blake Rankin, Desmon ...

Improvement in volumes of sustainable fish
The Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) has published a new report that shows a big improvement in volumes of sustainable fish, but also shows that many fisheries are failing to improve.
Covering 51 principal whitefish fisheries around the world, the report found that 41.5% of the total volume of whitefish supplied to market comes from fisheries in a very good condition (category A); 37.5% of the total volume of whitefish supplied to market comes from fisheries that are in good shape but would benefit from improvements in management regime (category B); and 21% of the total volume of whitefish comes from fisheries that have not been effectively managed and significant improvements are required (category C).
A large volume of whitefish comes from fisheries in good condition while the majority of whitefish fisheries are in a poor state. 11 (22%) fisheries fall in category A, 13 (26%) in category B and 27 (52%) in category C. The situation is particularly polarized for the 17 cod fisheries - 4 (24%) are in category A and 13 (76%) in category C.
Many of the fisheries that need to improve do not have Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs) in place – this situation is particularly acute for cod.
SFP calculates that if all whitefish fisheries were managed effectively, the likely catch in 2020 could be 6,788,400 tonnes. This would deliver almost a million additional tonnes of whitefish compared to most recent landings.
Commenting on the report, Jim Cannon, CEO of Sustainable Fisheries Partnership, said, "This report shows that whitefish fisheries are essentially divided into two camps – some are doing very well indeed while others remain in a poor condition. It's great news that the total volume of sustainably caught whitefish is rising but the industry must not lose sight of the need to deliver fishery improvement projects where they are urgently required. Consumers can certainly eat cod from well-managed fisheries with a clean conscience but should spare a thought for the fisheries that are not doing so well."

1Hear now what יהוה is saying, "Arise, strive with the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
2"Hear, O you mountains, the controversy of יהוה, and you everlasting foundations of the earth! For יהוה has a controversy with His people and He shall reprove Yisra'ĕl.
3"My people, what have I done to you? And how have I wearied you? Answer Me,
4for I brought you up from the land of Mitsrayim, and I ransomed you from the house of bondage. And I sent Mosheh, Aharon, and Miryam before you.
5"My people, remember, please, what Balaq sovereign of Mo'aḇ counselled, and what Bil'am son of Be'or answered him, from Shittim to Gilgal, in order to know the righteousness of יהוה."
6With what shall I come before יהוה, bow myself before the high Elohim? Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
7Is יהוה pleased with thousands of rams or ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my being?
8He has declared to you, O man, what is good. And what does יהוה require of you but to do right, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your Elohim?
9The voice of יהוה cries to the city – and let sound wisdom see Your Name! "Hear the Rod and Him who appointed it!
10"Are there still treasures of wrongness in the house of the wrong, and the short measure that is an abomination?"
11Would I be innocent with wrong scales, and with a bag of false weights?
12"For her rich men are filled with cruel unrighteousness, and her inhabitants have spoken falsehood, and their tongue is deceit in their mouth.
13"So I also, I shall smite you with a grievous wound, to lay you waste because of your sins:
14"You shall eat but not be satisfied, and your inside be empty. And you shall store up but not save, and what you save I shall give to the sword.
15"You shall sow but not reap, you shall tread the olives but not anoint yourselves with oil, and make sweet wine but not drink wine.
16"For the laws of Omri are strictly observed, and all the works of the house of Aḥab, and you walk in their counsels. Therefore I give you for a ruin, and your inhabitants for a hissing, and let you bear the reproach of My people."

With Mother's Day just around the corner, we're here to remind you to start planning something special for mom this Sunday!
Whether it's a sweet gift, a homemade meal or even a gathering of loved ones, there are countless ways to spoil the lovely lady who raised you.
We recently chatted with Vanessa Hudgens to see how she celebrates the holiday, here's what she told us:
1. Pamper Her. "Make her feel like a princess! Moms just go through so much and kids just take it for granted," she said. Whether it's a mother-daughter spa day or making dinner reservations at her favorite restaurant, find a way to make sure she's totally taken care of.
2. Let Mom Know She's Loved. "I tend to have a Mother's Day party at my house and she gets to invite all of her friends. I make sure there's Filipino food for her, plus wine and cheese and lots of cupcakes and sweets. It's definitely a cheat day!"
3. Buy or Send Flowers. "A bouquet of her favorite flowers can do no wrong!" the star suggested for a fail-proof gift that makes a big impact.
And there you have it!
How are you celebrating Mother's Day?

Demolition begins on former St. Nicholas church along Route 28
Demolition of the controversial former St. Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church along Route 28 in Troy Hill began Tuesday despite a last-ditch effort by Pittsburgh to save the landmark building.
The Urban Redevelopment Authority offered to buy the church, but St. Nicholas Parish in Millvale, which owns the building, turned the offer down, said the Rev. Ronald Lengwin, spokesman for the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh. Lengwin said doing so was "in the interest of the safety and welfare of the community and the stability of the (Millvale) parish."
The diocese said the parish spent $360,000 to maintain and insure the building the past eight years as it sat empty. The monthly expense of $1,800 represents 17 percent of the 225-member parish's income, the diocese said.
The North Side Leadership Conference and the Preserve Croatian Heritage Foundation, a nonprofit consisting of former church members, worked for years to turn the building into a national immigrant museum but never could reach agreement with the diocese to buy it.
"It would have been a real showplace for Pittsburgh and for the diocese. This is a sad day," said Bill Vergot, 79, of North Strabane, who helped start the foundation.
The city law department in October withdrew an appeal seeking to overturn an Allegheny County Common Pleas Court decision that gave the diocese permission to demolish the building.
URA Chairman Yarone Zober, who is chief of staff to Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, said the URA subsequently offered to buy the church with the intention of turning it over to the North Side Leadership Conference and foundation.
"The URA and city of Pittsburgh attempted on multiple occasions to work with the diocese to acquire the building," he said.
Lengwin said crews began the demolition by removing the church's bells.

It's pretty hard to dislike Emma Watson. Even when she first graced our screens as the do-gooder Hermione she had her moments, and as the wizarding franchise expanded, so did her congeniality. But we were all a tad nervous when the films finally ended and she was to be suddenly thrust from her Hogwarts comfort zone and into the awfully judgemental world that is Hollywood. Would she live to tell the tale?
Luckily (for us), she has cleverly flaunted an image far from her spellbinding character in the two years that have passed. It all started with that dramatic haircut (as all good reinventions should), and then came a blossoming fashion career, several roles in some pretty terrific films, and all kinds of appearances and magazine covers where she came out of her very pretty shell. She even managed to share a hilarious boogie on a certain late-night chat show.
And her reign doesn't look to be ending anytime soon, with her sights set on conquering blockbusters and campaigns alike, all while contradicting the notion of a bratty Beverly Hills child star. She's a whole new mould of screen siren, and an especially lovely one at that.
Here's a look at her successes since saying goodbye to Hermione Granger, and also a sneak peek at what we can expect from our favourite pixie-haired, Burberry-sporting Brit in the near future.

Good Movies That Aren't Popular But Are Must-Sees
Posted 16 September 2006 - 02:42 AM
My list, for now:
Paths of Glory (1957)
One of the most powerfull war movies I have ever seen, and yet, a lot of people seem oblivious to it.
It really grips you and shows you the absurdity of war in all it's ugliness. It's even more remarkable, if you consider the herioc tone most, if not all of it's contemporary war movies had.
Stalag 17 (1953)
The ultimate POW camp movie, imho. I prefer it to the Great Escape even. It's probably closer in tone to Hart's War. The characters are less heroic than they are portrayed in the Great Escapes, which makes them more real, and believable.
In the Mood for Love (2000)
Great movie about two lonely souls that slowly forge a relationship after their spouses "work late" and leave them alone (to cheat on them). The acting, narrative and style are all of great quality. Chow and Su are one of my favorite on screen couples.
After life (1998)
One of my all time top five movies. How do you know that a movie is great? If it sticks in your mind for days and weeks after you saw it. When you leave the theatre after seeing this one, you will wonder yourself "what is my most precious memory?"
The movie is basically about 20 or so people who are in a 'station' between life and death. They are informed that they are to choose one memory, that will be then reenacted and put on film, as a way to preserve it. That one memory will be all that they will have left after they leave for the afterlife. They will forget about everything else. It will, in a way, become their reality. Their "heaven", if you will.
Now, if I read the above pitch, I would probably already be intrigued enough to run to the theatre of the video store. But that's just me. But the execution is perfect, the tone and tempo are impeccable, and above all, the people and their memories are moving.
The movie as a whole is just very warm, sincere, and at times, deeply moving.
I'm not going to ruin the movie by telling what memories people choose, but I'll just add this: some of their choices show that the simplest of moments can hold the most beauty.

unfortunately, i didn't pay attention and i created a thread for movies like Bran Upon the Brain and i know people won't reply... but i just wanted to make discover them.
Werckmeister Harmonies (2000)
hugarian movie of Bela Tarr
plot :
The story takes place in a small provincial town on the Hungarian Plain. The weather is bitterly cold (twenty degrees below zero) but no snow has fallen. Despite this, hundreds of bewildered people stand around a circus trailer (or corrugated iron box) in the main square, waiting to see the main attraction - the stuffed carcass of a whale. The people composing this faceless, ragged crowd have come from distant parts of the country as well as neighbouring settlements, and the strange state of affairs — the presence of strangers, the extreme cold — is disturbing the order of the small town. Relationships are changing, and some ambitious people feel they can take advantage of the situation; while others who are more passive fall into even deeper uncertainty. The unbearable tension is brought to a head by the figure of the Prince, who is hiding behind the whale; his mere appearance is enough to unleash destructive emotions. The ensuing apocalypse spares no one - not the scientifically-minded outsiders, the teenage enthusiasts, the philistines who care only about their own safety, nor the family — nothing historically privileged by European culture
there is no trailer so i put a video of the opening scene

Nigerian/french/austrian movie by the nigerian director Newton Aduaka.
plot :
In the year 2000, it was alleged that some 300,000 children were serving as soldiers in armed conflicts in more than thirty countries around the world. Nearly 120,000 of these were allegedly engaged in various conflicts on the African continent.
EZRA is a factional tale inspired by the Sierra Leonean conflict. It is centred on one event: a drug fuelled atrocious attack on a village by rebel soldiers. The jigsaw puzzle of what occurred that night is reconstructed through the testimonies of three witnesses: Ezra, an excombatant, his sister Onitcha, a mute, and Cynthia, Ezra's fellow exsoldier.
What is supposed to be reconciliation soon becomes a trial, as Onitcha chooses this as the arena to reveal a secret she has kept from her brother.

argentinian movie by Lucia Puenzo
The film's title is a reference to Klinefelter's syndrome, also known as XXY Syndrome, a condition in which males have an extra X sex chromosome. However, the main character does not display Klinefelter's syndrome.
Plot :
Alex (Efron) is a 15-year-old intersex person, with both male and female genitals, who has been living as a girl and using medicines to suppress masculine features, such as a beard, and to attempt to have more feminine features. However, recently Alex has stopped taking her meds.
Alex's parents moved with her from Argentina to a village by the sea in Uruguay, to avoid society's negative stigma. Her father, Néstor Kraken (Darín), is a marine biologist who has written a book on sexuality and makes a living treating wounded animals found by fishermen. Her mother, Suli (Bertuccelli), invites friends from Argentina: a surgeon, his wife and teenage son Álvaro (Piroyansky). The purpose, unknown to Néstor and Alex, is to discuss the possibilities of a sex-change operation.
Alex bluntly tells Álvaro that she would like to have sex with him. Alex seduces Álvaro and begins to have anal intercourse with him (with her in the deliverer's part), but they are interrupted when Néstor catches sight of them through an open door. When Alex later apologizes, Álvaro admits that he liked it.
Three boys from the village forcibly pull down Alex's pants to see her genitals. Néstor realizes that reporting this to the police would cause the whole village to know about Alex's condition. However, Alex decides that it does not matter. Alex also decides that she does not want to resume taking medicines or have an operation.

The Wheel (1993)
Bangladeshi movie of the director Morshedul Islam.
plot :
This Bengali drama offers a parable of trust, dignity as it follows the journey of an ox-cart driver and his companion who must seek the final resting place of an unwanted passenger. The two took on their guest while hauling a load of rice past a rural health-care center. The center workers forcefully coerce the driver to take a recently deceased corpse to a distant town. They take it there, but are dismayed to find no one there to claim the body. They then take it to another village that has a similar name. Again, there is no one there to bury the corpse. At first, the two resented their quest. They felt nothing for the dead one in the cart, but eventually they come to respect him in a distressed sort of way. It is they who finally bury him in an isolated place
sorry. no video, no picture.
even if this movie won many awards and it is in the list of the 15 best bangladeshi movies, it stays totally unknown.

this is not exactly a movie, it's more a history documentary but in the end this is still very interesting!
The specialist, portrait of a modern criminal (1999)
black and white french movie by Rony Brauman and Eyal Sivan
A German worker in the upper echelons of the Nazi party, Adolf Eichmann was in charge of the expulsion of Jews, Slovenians, and Gypsies from the Reich between 1938 and 1941, and then of their deportation from Europe to the death camps. In 1960, he was captured by the Israeli secret service in Argentina. His subsequent trial in Jerusalem was one of the first public events recorded on video. Filmmakers Rony Brauman and Eyal Sivan have assembled excerpts of this footage to create a tightly edited and compelling documentary about a bureaucrat who has fulfilled his duties during a time of war. Eichmann steadfastly insists that his part in the Holocaust was neither active or evil: he was only following orders.
At the outset of the trial, the prosecutor calls Eichmann an inhuman beast, but the thin balding man in a black suit who is taking copious notes and nervously interlaces his fingers during the course of the trial doesn't seem to fit that description. Even during the tensest moments and facing direct accusations by the prosecution who wants to see him hanged, he refuses to show remorse or culpability for his actions.
The film is fascinating for Eichmann's resoluteness. By the nature of his answers, he proves himself to be the quintessential bureaucrat of Kafka's worst nightmare. Perhaps the most striking feature about Eichmann is just how ordinary he seems--not a monster, not a mad thinker, but an efficient man who sat behind a desk, processing forms. Based on Hannah Arendt's famous account of the trial, "The Specialist: Portrait of a Modern Criminal" offers profound insight into how the Holocaust was facilitated by bureaucracy and a subservient mindset that allowed people like Eichmann to claim ignorance and shuffle responsibility for atrocious crimes around like so many carbon-copy forms.
When Adolph Eichmann was brought to trial in Israel in 1961, the event was broadcast live under the direction of documentarian Leo Hurwitz. That footage, over 500 hours of it, has been locked away in the decades since. Eyal Sivan, inspired by Hannah Arendt's book Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, received permission to dig through the footage for a concentrated portrait of the trial and the man. The balding, middle-aged Eichmann looks as scary as an accountant as he snaps to attention for every question, answering with a "Yawohl" before reading from records or repeating his mantra: "I had to obey... I was a soldier." Painting himself as nothing but a bureaucrat with a ruthless efficiency ("I does not mean Eichmann," he claims, trying to distance himself from the odious orders he signed), the only emotion he exhibits is a terrifying pride in his meticulous service: "I was never reprimanded," he offers by way of explanation. Though Sivan compiled this film from documentary recordings, he finds some haunting images: the reflection of newel footage on the glass cage that protects Eichmann as he blankly watches the record of atrocities, the concentration camp tattoo on the arm that reaches into frame to play evidence from a tape recorder, the bland, emotionless face of Eichmann that dominates the film. Far from an "objective" record of the event, The Specialist indeed captures the "banality of evil" in Eichmann, and that's genuinely frightening.

Metropolis (1927)
german movie of Fritz Lang
plot :
The film is set in the massive, sprawling futuristic mega-city Metropolis, where society is divided into two classes: one of planners and management, who live high up in luxurious skyscrapers and one of workers, who live and toil underground. The city was founded, built, and is run by the autocratic Joh Fredersen. Like all the other sons of the managers of Metropolis, Fredersen's son Freder lives a life of luxury. One day, as he is cavorting in the Eternal Gardens, he notices that a beautiful girl has appeared with many children of the workers. She is quickly shooed away, but Freder becomes infatuated with her and follows her down to the workers' underworld. There, he experiences first-hand the horrors of the workers' life, and is alarmed and disgusted when an enormous machine, known as the M-Machine, violently explodes and kills dozens of workers. In the smoke, Freder envisages the M-Machine as Moloch, a monstrous deity to which the hapless workers are sacrificed.
Freder returns to the New Tower of Babel, a massive skyscraper owned by his father. There, he confronts his father about the workers' plight and the accident at the M-Machine. Grot, foreman of the Heart Machine, arrives to inform Fredersen of several mysterious maps which have been found in workers' pockets. Because he has not heard both of these bits of news from Josaphat, his clerk, Fredersen fires him, and also orders a spy (credited as the "Thin Man") to tail his son. Outside Fredersen's office, Freder thwarts Josaphat's suicide and persuades him to help with his quest to help the workers. After instructing Josaphat to wait for him at his apartment, Freder descends to the workers' underworld again and meets a worker named Georgy, #11811. Freder persuades Georgy to exchange clothes with him, go to Freder's apartment, and let Freder work at the machine. However, Georgy finds wads of money in the pockets of Freder's clothing and goes instead to Yoshiwara, the city's red-light district, to pursue a girl in an adjacent automobile. While Georgy enjoys a night of wild parties, Freder becomes delirious working at the machine, having never worked a day in his life, and begins having visions of being crucified on the factory clock.
Fredersen, wondering about the papers found, decides to consult the scientist Rotwang, his old collaborator, who lives in an old house contained in the lower levels of the city. The two were once friends but became rivals over the love of a woman, Hel, who eventually chose Fredersen. Hel died giving birth to Freder, leaving both Rotwang and Fredersen heartbroken and loathing each other. Rotwang's love for Hel and his hatred of Fredersen remains as strong as ever. After Frederson notices Rotwang now has a mechanical hand, Rotwang introduces Fredersen to a Machine-Man he has constructed, to which he intends to give the image of Hel. When Fredersen, seeks Rotwang's counsel about the papers (despite knowing the Scientist is more than a little insane, he still knows Rotwang is a genius), Rotwang explains that they are maps to the 2,000-year old catacombs that are deep under the lowest levels of the workers' city. The two enter the catacombs and reach the workers' meeting-place. From a gap in the rocks, they observe the beautiful Maria preaching to the workers (with the disguised Freder among them) about the Tower of Babel and about how they must wait for the coming Mediator. Her theme is that the heart must be mediator between the head (the planners) and the hands (the workers).
At the end of the sermon, the disguised Freder reveals his true identity to Maria and tells her that he must be the Mediator she has been waiting for. Fredersen, who has turned away in thought, sees none of this; Rotwang, however, sees everything. Fredersen instructs Rotwang to give the machine-man the image of Maria in order to sow discord between her and the workers. Rotwang acquiesces but has ulterior motives, intending to use the machine-man to ruin Fredersen's life. While Fredersen returns to his office, Rotwang chases Maria through a tunnel up into his house, capturing her. Freder, hearing her screams, attempts to rescue her, but he is imprisoned in the house.
Rotwang transforms the machine-man into a double of Maria. He then commands it to destroy Fredersen, his city, and his son. Downstairs, a door opens, allowing Freder to ascend a staircase. He encounters Rotwang, who tells him that Maria is not here; rather, she is with Fredersen. When Freder arrives at his father's office, he sees the machine (which now resembles Maria) embracing his father. Freder suffers a mental breakdown and collapses. During his convalescence that night, he hallucinates vividly about passages from the Book of Revelation and death's descent upon the city.
Rotwang demonstrates the machine-man's abilities to Fredersen by dressing it up as an erotic dancer at the Yoshiwara, where it drives the sons of the owners into homicidal fits of sexual jealousy. The body count is enormous; meanwhile, the machine-man also visits the workers' city and encourages the workers to rebel. Freder arrives and tells the workers that this Maria is a fraud. The workers instead recognize him as Fredersen's son and attempt to kill him. In the fight, Georgy tries to defend Freder but is accidentally stabbed. The workers storm the M-Machine and destroy the Heart Machine, the city's power generator. This results in a complete hydraulic breakdown. Maria, after Frederson confronts Rotwang about the events of the night, escapes and makes her way to the workers city. The city's reservoirs overflow and inundate the workers' city to the brim, threatening to drown the children of the workers. However, the children are saved by Maria, Freder, and Josaphat in a heroic rescue.
The workers, realizing what they have done, and believing that they have killed their children, blame Maria. Under Grot's leadership, they dash to the upper city to pursue the real Maria. They run into the reveling crowds from the Yoshiwara and meet the owners' sons, led by the machine Maria. In the ensuing confusion, Maria escapes and the machine-man is tied to a stake and burned. The flames burn off the likeness of Maria and reveal the machine-man's true form to the crowd.
Meanwhile, Rotwang, who has broken down completely and believes her to be Hel, corners Maria in a cathedral. Freder climbs up to the roof and battles Rotwang as Fredersen watches in horror. Rotwang falls to his death, and Freder and Maria return to the street. Freder takes his first step as mediator, overcoming the mutual reluctance of Grot and Fredersen to join hands, thus beginning a period of unity and reform.
this scene is one of the best things i saw in my whole life
Posted 01 June 2011 - 05:18 PM
there is a while, Federick and I talked about the Shoah, the book Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil by Hannah Arendt and the death sentence in Israel and it remind me there was a movie inspired by Hannah Arendt's book.
fortunately, i finally found it
Hannah Arendt's books are good, but to really understand this period (If you haven't explored) I would recommend studying the SS State and social histories of the Third Reich. There are about half a dozen that are really instructive on many levels. The knowledge and linkages acquired can even help in understanding modern global affairs. "Masters of Death" and Heinz H.'s "The SS" are instructive to understanding the institutional culture and the "new standards" of morality they created. And how they, when properly socialized, could do such amazingly horrific things in a somewhat casual way while justifying it by utilizing their own so-called "logic". To understand it further, study Prussian culture (The Iron Kingdom, Clark) which created the foundation for the rise of Nazism and the German military machine.
Then study modern economic & social history, and understand how far humanity's progressed. (It's good to balance things out, otherwise you might end up with a darkened worldview) Study the American & allies way of war, which is business/geopolitically (power politic) oriented and is much more nuanced & with relatively less bloodshed. As a teen, I studied these things myself under the guidance of my father but I don't know how someone approaching these materials for the first time would react psychologically.
Anyway, these issues are very dark and the graphic -it will introduce new dimensions of thinking that are unavailable to most people. You need a strong constitution and take it in doses.

i know what the SS and the 3 reich are. i didn't read Eichmann in Jerusalem because i thought the book's cover was pretty... particularly when you know eichmann was the lieutenant colonel of the SS! as i also know who were people like Amon Goeth, Anne Frank and Leni Riefenstahl or family Bush made some business with nazi and built a part of their fortune because of hitler or Hugo Boss made the nazi uniforms. and i learnt all this stuff by myself. alone.

I don't know the specifics about your personal life and I am addressing you as a woman. You are a very interesting & humane woman, knowledgeable about many unusual things and I have always enjoyed writing to you and looking at the artwork you take time to post. It is not out of disrespect for you that I wrote my previous post rather cautiously. Masters of Death- for instance is about the specially indoctrinated, trained & picked units of men that followed the German Army into the East to personally execute over a million and a half people with poison gas vans and handheld weapons. Even if you were a 50 year old man I would have written the same post. All of it is abjectly horrifying and can effect someone strongly. It's a very 'negative' subject you know?
-Wages of Destruction (Economic history- details how German government prepared and then went for broke in this war)
-Coming of the Third Reich & Third Reich in Power (social history and national institutions)
-Hitler's Empire (social history and national institutions)
Anyway, Baby: In the future I will try to organize my thoughts to you in a manner you prefer.

Anyway, Baby: In the future I will try to organize my thoughts to you in a manner you prefer.
i know you didn't say it about my age because i'm sure you certainly didn't know it even if you knew i'm a young adult.
i'm a frank person so as usually i would tell what i think about the situation. maybe i'm wrong but i have the feeling you reply to this thread only because of the arguments we had there are a couple of months. i wasn't come on bellazon since april and i have the feeling that now you absolutely wanna show me i was wrong about you when i told you i had the feeling i was talking with a bad imitation of encarta encyclopedia. and of course the first thing you tell me since this argument is a list of books i should read. so i think one of us has missed some elements... and when i say have the feeling you talk to me like i was a kid, it included our old conversations and as i already told you i'm the kind of person who enjoy 10 times more listen paople talking about their own experiences than hear book's quote. as i already say sometimes it's better to talk with a marginal c*nt than with a conformist intelligent. the first can always surprise you, the second doesn't (and i think that's why i'm such a big fan of z movies)
about the WWII yes this is a serious subject but should i say A this is not the first war, so kill people because of hate or power is not something new or specific the to nazis and B nazism is not the first doctrine. there are so many sects all around the world who allowed terrific thing like pedophilia, rapes, suicides or murders. just watch al qaida or the raelien movment. raelian are more than 1 millions of people and they legalized pedophilia and have commun "masturbation" where they are all together and touch their armpits, sex and anus in front of a mirror and then smell and lick their fingers. they pray E.T and give their money to rael to buy new race cars. they often use psychologists to find their new potential members. you go at the psychologist because you're depressive and in the end, few weeks later you're in a sect
when i was younger i already visited this kind of place. when you go there these people are very friendly and let you go where you "want". so you have the feeling this is a cool place very peace and love. - they also sold gifts like home made honey. the fact is, i always refused to eat it. i never saw bees in their garden but there were kamasutra gravure everywhere and their honey was super strange white and doesn't smelt honey. i'm sure it was sperm - anyway, they know how attract people, listen them and give answers and solutions. they understand your weakness and use it to manipulate you.
the fact is, during the 30's germany was in crisis and people needed a guilty and here there is nothing new. since centuries people do the same and they still do in third world countries or even in civilised countries with gang wars. killed people because of money and racisme because they come from another district and this kind of thing won't stop because their boss enjoy these wars. if they was a single boss, in the end everybody could grow up and threatened his position of leader but the gang members rarely understand it and their are ready to kill and torture someone without regret just because this is what they should do and they enemy won't have pity and everything come from it. pity.
jews have always been know as a very close community and this link created angst, hate and frustation. they were the answer, the guilty of this misery and hitler was very charismatic person. but opposite to 95% of normal politician, he believed in the things he said. he was motivate and ready to act. unfortunately at the beginning some important people didn't understood it.
anyway the 30's very a very special periode. there were planes, cars, phones and radios. i means, technology was here, enough important to communicate and make a big mess but very limited so not enough important to share different opinions.
by the way when you know all the billaird of people who believe in god that they never saw, or never proved of their existance and a part of them through history have been ready to die and kill for it, you can understand how hilter could get important. he was like a god. he brought answer but opposite to god, he was there, alive. as i already said, fame is the religion of the XX century. people always look for answer, always need affection, someone you could love them, cheer them, give the feeling they are important and take care of them. now people love famous people as they loved god.
i'm often in the music industry and i already watched fans/stalker. this is very special world but more the person is famous and more they can attract a psychopath. i mean, someone who only think about himself and his obsession and who doesn't put limits. as i already explained obsessed come from stimulation and stimulation is increased by community because when you're a single man, it's always easier to be demotivate and stop everything but when you're in a community, you often become friends with other members, so they share they same opinion, passion and the day where you would like to stop everything, they always try to change your mind. as i already said, more there are members and more there are chance to have a psychopath into your crew so they will be the kind of poeple who will push the limits and they often bring another people in their trip and then if they aren't stopped, then "all" the crew do the same and in the end, they banalised their acts and i think that's why hilter and nasi has been so violent. because of the important number of nazi member and the gradual violence
there are few years ago, i saw fans spent one night in front of the concert hall to be at the first row of the show of their favorite band. another fans were jalouse and started to do the same. because of it, another fans decided to sleep 3 or 4 days before the show in front of the concert hall to be the first. then the 3 days get 5, the, a week, 2 weeks even 3 weeks in the winter with temperature near of 0°C. there are 3 years ago i saw something like 100 people ready to sleep 3 weeks in the street, during the winter just to be at their f*cking first row. i was furious and because there were teenagers and i learnt they said to their parents they were in vacations (because it was the vacations) and all the teens said the same and in fact they were in front of concert hall. he called to police to make them move but these jerks just moved to the park in front of the concert hall and slept there. result 2 teenagers have been raped in the park (and fortunately nobody has been seriously sick). the day before the show there were more than one thousand to sleep in the street. (one year later i learnt one of the girl one the first row has pissed on her during the show to stay where she was and there were something like 400 people who fainted during the gig!) 4 months later, in june 2008, is aw fans of the same band ready to sleep one month in front of the concert hall for the next gig. they got worst because before there were always fans who rented hotel rooms. they left the place where they stay in the street and they went to the toilets and took a shower but there they refused to move. i means, they didn't take shower and they put a towel around their hips and they pissed, sh*ted; put their tampons in bottles of water.
fortunately it was their last show and the band took a break to record new stuff.
anyway, even if all this can sound crazy, because of the fan community, they banalized their act because they all do the same, so for them their act were normal and when they also hurted another fan with lighters, keys and thought it was normal.
and for the nazi it was the same. hate has been stimulate by community and because of it they banalised their act (like people from gangs do). in the end, murder and torture can get a kind routine. but the fact is, it included so many people than everybdoy weren't enough strong to tolerate it and that's why they created gaz chambers. i was a way to cut this reality, stay far away of the reality of their crimes.
sorry if i wrote a long message but i don't think that's a problem and i just answer to your message. i'm the kind of person who prefer developpe my own thought, idea even if they can be sh*tty than quote somebody. quote or books' tittle absolutely don't interest me (and more particularly books i don't know so i'm like obligated to trust the person - but here i even can't really trust you because your advice are empty of real opinion - and i won't lose my time to read 1000 different books who all say more or less the same thing to say "i know".) because they don't reflect people mind and their real way to think. and it's as easy for someone with "sh*tty musicial tastes to pretend he loves the beatles as it as easy for a stupid person to quote einstein.

EAHS remembers Trefz Variety Store
Green plastic soldiers, a marble, Key overalls, a tin whistle, a photo of an egg plate given by Emma Lotz to Nell and Wilfred Trefz as a wedding present, along with other articles from Trefz Variety Story were displayed March 15 at City Hall by Eudora Area Historical Society members and Trefz family members.
William Trefz, a native of Wittenberg, Germany, 59, left the milling business after 35 years to launch Trefz Variety Store in 1915 at 715 Main St. His son, Carl, joined him in the venture and later ran the downtown fixture until 1976.
Trefz studied ministry at Baker University in Baldwin before leaving school to help at the store, said Patty Trefz Yeado, the daughter of Fred "Freddie" Trefz, a nephew of Carl Trefz. "He literally raised his younger brothers after his mother died of typhoid [in 1896]."
Wire mesh baskets and oak display cases were just two ways Trefz displayed his wares. "I have one of his display cases, a cigar case," Nell Trefz said. "It has slats for shelves. In the back is a tin-lined drawer that pulls out. He used to fill the drawer with water to keep the cigars moist.
Many associated the store with the candy held in those cases. "Those oak display cases had all that candy in jars that sold for a penny or two cents," Rex Burkhardt said, remembering the licorice, hard candy, fire sticks, and waxy bottles with colored sugar water. "Carl was good to me because I was a regular customer and he gave me extra pieces."
Trefz also sold clothing and shoes.
"He took care of people so much better than they do today," Kermit Broers said. "He made sure the shoes fit you."
Nell Trefz said that store items were bought from TM James, a seven-story wholesale store in Kansas City. Fern Long, who has a collection of decorative birds given to her over the years by her husband and a row of plates above her sink, all from the Trefz Variety Store, said the store also had a photographer who came to the store to take photographs each year. "Most of my grandchildren had their pictures taken there," Long said.
After the store closed and Carl Trefz's death in 1977, Freddie Trefz "locked it up just like it was," Nell Trefz said and often added items from area sales to remaining store fixtures and items.
The building has stayed within the Freddie Trefz family who added a bathroom and running water last year. Currently, the store houses Seasons, a garden-related store.

There's no thread for this? Just announced via Nintendopower.com it is a 3DS game done by Dreamrift (the team behind Henry Hatsworth and Monster Tale for the DS) and is apparently also a two player co-op game.
We don't know much else about the game until the magazine comes out, but I know I'm excited for this.
Especially with it having "Illusion" in the title like the classic Sega games.

Should The Mighty Quinn Fall?
The last time the Leafs missed the playoffs was the 1997 season, that year the Leafs had Mike Murphy start the year as coach only to have him replaced mid season by Nick Beverly on an interim basis. The following summer news came down that the Toronto Maple Leafs had hired Pat Quinn as new coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs. In '98 Quinn stepped a board the media juggernaut that is Toronto and guided a team of unknowns and misfits captained by the only sure shot NHL caliber offensive player the team had at the time in Mats Sundin. Two things were certain on that team Mats Sundin was a great player and goaltending was strong behind Curtis Joseph.
That season Quinn lead the team to a conference final, a feat that no one had expected that season; they clipped the Flyers in 6 games, then went on to shutdown Jaromir Jagr on the strength of a Gary Valk goal and then were lambasted by the Buffalo Sabres in 5 games. Since that time the Leafs have been able to accomplish five 100 point seasons as well as another conference final in 2001 against the Carolina Hurricanes which was highlighted by a Senator 4 game sweep in the first round. All in all under Quinn, the Leafs were a playoff team 6 straight seasons up until this season with a combined record over his tenure as Leaf coach of 299-214-60.
With a win tonight against the Penguins, Quinn would have coached the Leafs to 300 wins in his career. Now all that being said the ultimate goal of leading the Leafs to an elusive Stanley Cup was his main goal from day one in which the team has failed miserably to do. When one looks at Quinn's career as coach of the Leafs you must step back and take a birds eye view of the situation and include some of the follies and blunders that were made in his time as GM or GM by committee. The waiving of Steve Sullivan, the trading of Jason Smith, the infatuation with Jonas Hoglund, the trading of Fredrik Modin for Cory Cross, the trading of Alyn McCauley and Brad Boyes for Owen Nolan, the trading of Berezin and Markov for Reichel, Renberg and Green and the mishandling of the Curtis Joseph situation.
You must also look at the good, the deal bringing McCabe for Karpotsev, the deal bringing in Darcy Tucker for Mike Johnson, the signing of Alexander Mogilny and Gary Roberts, signing of Ed Belfour immediately after having lost Cujo, the drafting of Steen, Stajan, Wellwood, White, Pilar, Colaiacovo, Harrison and Bell among few others, if I am forgetting other acquisitions forgive me. Quinn over the years has also had a history of grinding the NHL refereeing through the media on countless occasions, as well as calling out players on other teams for dirty plays or plays considered disrespectful in his time.
So with all this being said, do you feel as though Quinn should be let go or would you like to see Quinn play out his last season under contract as Maple Leafs coach?
My opinion is that Quinn was not supplied the right horses by JFJ and therefore how can Quinn be kicked out of the barn? IMO JFJ should be fired ahead of Quinn if it comes down to someone having to take the blame for this season. Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment should have never brought in a rookie GM especially if there were no intentions to groom him as a GM requires. Personally, and this is pure hope and desire, I would like to see JFJ replaced by someone like Scotty Bowman. I know Bowman is in semi retirement, but I think a relationship between Bowman and Quinn could work really well. Bowman could bring his wealth of knowledge in being a leader of a championship caliber team year in and year out to Toronto, which is what this team sorely requires. This is not unlike MLSE's other entity the Toronto Raptors who have already done so with the hiring of Colangelo.
Either way I don't really know how you blame Quinn for this season, aside from line combinations and ice time, at the end of the day he was given a team to coach and he did the best he could with what few real talents he had. Pair that with league wide rule changes and a salary cap and you get a recipe for disaster that was fully prepared and cooked this season and it doesn't taste very good. I'm not sure what it would take to remove this after taste from Leaf fans mouth, but I don't think the firing of Quinn is the answer. The focus should be on the quality of leadership supplied by Richard Peddie, Larry Tannenbaum and John Ferguson Jr.

Sony's Vita, a touchy problem
Some friends have asked me what I think of the Playstation Vita, Sony's new handheld console that was released in February. I always have the same answer.
"It's a slick, impressive piece of hardware that I couldn't care less about," I tell them.
Why? Because for all its fancy tech, the Vita carries the underlying threat of unchecked console gimmickry. As a follow up to Sony's last-generation PSP, the Vita is a touchscreen-oriented machine designed to take on competitors outside of a strictly gaming space, with improved features commonly found in mobile, non-gaming devices. It's also one whose primary function is supposed to be playing video games.
There's an unnatural dichotomy that arises from this. Before the Vita, touch incorporation in console games—relegated to touchscreen interfaces on Nintendo's DS and 3DS—has historically taken a different approach than the touch implementation of, say, iOS games.
Non-gaming platforms are a different story. They usually play host to less complex games, mostly driven by dumbed-down mechanics where one can play simply by deftly swiping or tapping at things on-screen (I need not explain how this limits the scope of what most mobile games strive for). Should a developer want gameplay that feels closer to a console experience than a casually oriented mobile one, the only available compromise is resorting to obtrusive on-screen virtual controls.
The DS and 3DS solution is that only one of their two screens has a touchscreen interface, so that functionality generally complements, rather than headlining. But the Vita's single screen has multi-touch sensitivity in addition to the console's regular controls. Almost overnight, the line separating simple, casual game design and more traditional console-oriented gameplay has morphed into a disconcerting Venn diagram connecting two fairly disparate markets.
Why does this matter? Because with its foundations firmly set in gimmickry, Vita developers now have the ability—and moreover, are likely bound by a certain amount of pressure—to dilute a "pure" game with obnoxious, extraneous elements designed to take advantage of the console's more superfluous features.
As is the case with any hardware release, a certain amount of this is to be expected. (See the blatant 3-D effects featured in Nintendo's 3DS launch lineup as a recent example.) Where, then, do traditional games qua games fall when they can be stuffed with shallow console-specific features?
Naughty Dog's Uncharted series, a wonderfully written, modern-day Indiana Jones-style love letter to pulp adventure on PS3, is an alarming wake-up call on the Vita. The series is one of Sony's biggest cash cows. Naughty Dog, for its part, is regarded as one of the most talented game studios in the world. The Vita's Golden Abyss was outsourced to another Sony team; from the get-go, the big news was that you could use Vita controls.
"You can still play it like a traditional game," Abyss' developers assured us. "It's your choice." Whether by corporate meddling or not, this is a lie. It's true that touch functions for the primary actions of series protagonist Nathan Drake—platforming, gunplay and surviving thrilling set pieces—can be mostly ignored with traditional controls. But the Vita-exclusive garbage remains prominent enough for concern.

During a special meeting Tuesday night, the Cayuga Community College Board of Trustees discussed budgetary and bargaining unit issues.
The College and board is working to reduce expenditures of its $32.36 million operating budget by approximately $1.5 million before the end of the fiscal year on August 31, 2013, to help make up for an unexpected 5 percent enrollment decrease. Last fall, senior leaders and budget managers identified more than $778,000 in savings through employee retirements, operating budget reductions, cuts to travel, and reductions in part-time employee hours.
Earlier this spring, managerial and confidential employees, executive staff, and the president accepted furlough days and helped bring budgetary savings over the $933,000 mark. College administrators are currently working with the four bargaining units to help close the budget gap for this year.
The meeting opened with comments from two College employees who spoke highly of their work experience at Cayuga and encouraged the board to do what is best for the students during the public.
"The employee turnout from all four bargaining units at the meeting, as well as the comments of the two employees who spoke at the meeting, speaks to the commitment that they feel for this College and their work here," said President Daniel P. Larson. "I am confident that we will find a collaborative solution to the budgetary challenges facing the College."
Shortly thereafter the board moved into executive session to discuss bargaining unit contracts for more than an hour. When the board reconvened the public meeting, it empowered Dr. Larson to continue discussions with union leadership to find savings that will help balance the budget and avoid layoffs.
Several factors contributed to the budgetary shortfall this year, including lower than projected enrollment, student retention issues, stagnant state aid and local funding, and increased fixed costs for the College.
The board will hold a special meeting at 6 p.m. next Monday to continue the discussions.

Oregon's first running, club has been an integral part of the running scene since 1969 when the club was formed to promote health and fitness, through the sport of running and walking. The club was named the Southern Oregon Sizzlers until 2007 when a name change was initiated to more easily identify what the club is about.
The original colors that still exist are patriotic in nature; red, white, & blue. These colors have been worn proudly in events spanning our nation, including the U.S. Olympic Trials.The first race organized by the club was a Fourth of July, 10 miler in Eagle Point. We were born, on Independence Day. Two other events were established early on and continue to be, two of the oldest road races in Oregon: Stage Coach and Pioneer. Pioneer is the only event held on the original course since it's initial running in 1971.
Over the years, the club has provided many races and fun runs, including two national championships, a Master's 25 km & a Master's Marathon.
Members receive quarterly newsletters from the club and the national organization, Road Runners Club of America. They also receive discounts on merchandise from several local running stores. The main benefit is that of belonging to a community oriented organization while pursuing one's hobby of running/walking.
The camaraderie which the club founders sought, still abounds among Southern Oregon Runners.
Club Profile:
Southern Oregon Runners is a non-profit organization for the

Do You Know the Signs of Menopause?
Just what is menopause? Quite simply, menopause is part of the natural aging process for women and is the starting point where fertility is diminished and ultimately ceases. According to an article published by the Mayo Clinic, menopause is the permanent end of …

Let's see, where were we? When you're down and out, lift up your head and shout? Or, just let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy, rainy day? Maybe, just direct your feet, to the sunny side of the street?
So much has transpired since I last communicated.
John Harbaugh beat Jim Harbaugh in the Super Bowl, or was it the other way around? A few days later the losing Harbaugh showed up at Pebble Beach for some golf, as did another coach more familiar to these eyes, even though he left his hoodie at home.
Phil Mickelson was there, too, and gave us a different kind of thrill. He had evidently hit his tee shot at Pebble's 18th hole way left, over the cliff, down on the beach and on its way to Toyko. Not one to give up easily, Mickelson went after it when he slipped on a rock and landed on his backside.
In that moment I thought, there goes the Masters. Not that he was going to win it, but like Tiger Woods, Phil realizes that all that really matters in a year is not the Players, the World Golf Championships, or the damnable FedEx Cup, only the four majors. Luckily, Phil proved to have enough natural padding to prevent serious injury.
The Celtics and Bruins look as though they'll make the playoffs, although if you played even high school basketball, the Celtics may need you at the rate they're going. When Leandro Barbosa was lost for the season with a torn left ACL, he joined Rajon Rondo and Jared Sullinger on the team's medical list.
As a rule, I pay no attention to rumors that float across the Internet, but this one was too juicy to resist.
Guess who were "just seeing each other?" Champions from two sports, Lindsey Vonn and Tiger Woods. Seems Tiger had taken his two children to ski at some fancy resort in Europe and were given special instruction by Lindsey.
Just as I was checking it out, Vonn crashed coming down a ski slope and required surgery. She will be out for the rest of season. The paparazzi took a picture of her getting on a plane for her departure. And not just any plane but a private jet belonging to – you guessed it – Woods. Stay tuned.
Those of us who had to endure long hours without electricity because of the recent snowstorm were no doubt heartened by the start of spring training. The theme for the Red Sox this year is turn over a new leaf, which come to think about it is the same theme as last year.
"Last year was difficult. We had a tough time. We lost a lot of games. It wasn't the manager's fault. He didn't pitch or hit. We owe it to ourselves to do better."
That could have been said in spring training of 2012, then reprinted last week. As Eliza Doolittle said, "Words, words, words, I'm so sick of words ... show me."
Of course, that is the mantra of a last-place club. I covered spring training in 1960 and found myself nodding in agreement as the manager of the Kansas City Athletics said the same sort of thing, that the four players they got from the Yankees more than made up for the one they gave away, Roger Maris.
So first day of practice for the Sox in Fort Myers, Fla., Clay Buchholz strains a hamstring and estimates he'll be out for five days.
"I forgot to stretch," he said sheepishly.
My advice: Don't believe anything you hear until Opening Day.
Finally, the Gronk. There was a sighting of him wrestling in Las Vegas, arm still in a cast. Should we point out to him that the cast on his right arm means that a bone inside it is broken? Perhaps take a stick and snap it to illustrate the point?
No, leave it to the man in the hoodie. He'll know how to handle it. For that matter, he probably already has.

PULASKI COUNTY, Ky. (WYMT) Officials in Pulaski County recovered human remains today in a remote wooded area off Elihu Cabin Hollow Road.
Investigators found several human bones, which are now being examined in Frankfurt.
Police say the remains have not been positively identified, but evidence at the scene suggests they may be those of John Beach, 34, of Somerset.
Beach was reported missing in April of 2013 in the same area after he and his brother ran out of gas.
The men began walking to find help and became separated.
Beach has not been seen since that time.
Investigators say no foul play is suspected at this time.
The incident remains under investigation by the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office.

A sign for DeKalb seed corn, a brand of Monsanto Co., stands near a corn field in Princeton, Illinois, on June 27.
- Filed Under
Rootworms, the most costly pest affecting the U.S. Corn Belt, are showing signs of resistance to Syngenta AG's genetically modified corn just as they do with crops developed by Monsanto Co., researchers said at a conference.
Switzerland's Syngenta, the world's largest producer of crop chemicals, and St. Louis-based Monsanto compete to supply farmers with corn containing a genetic trait that enables it to produce its own pesticide. Rootworm resistance, first documented last year in Iowa and suspected in Illinois, Minnesota and Nebraska, is forcing farmers to spray crops with the kind ...

5 Ways Marketers Can Use Instagram
Have you noticed how more marketers are using images in their social media marketing?
Would you like to know how your business can use the popular sharing site Instagram?
In this article, I will show you five ways to use Instagram to enhance your marketing.
Why Instagram?
In the last few years, the use of Instagram by companies has skyrocketed. With millions of users, Instagram has become the perfect opportunity for brands to get quick messages and photos to their target audiences.
When Instagram started out, it was simply a way to post pictures with your fans and did not have a lot of marketing value.
However, in the last few years Instagram has proven to be an effective platform for marketers to reach a new audience in a way the audience wants to be marketed to: with visuals and short messages.
When creating your marketing strategy, do not forget about this great—yet underutilized—platform.

Vienna - The Vienna Philharmonic said Tuesday it has tasked three historians with delving into the prestigious orchestra's Nazi past following revelations about its honouring of war criminals, including one in 1966.
Fritz Truempi, Oliver Rathkolb and Bernadette Mayrhofer will look into the "politicisation" of the Austrian orchestra from 1938-1945, the fate of Jewish musicians and "denazification" afterwards, a statement said.
The announcement comes after Green party lawmaker and historian Harald Walser sparked a debate on the eve of the orchestra's famous New Year's Concert this year by attacking the "deathly silence" over its past.
According to Walser, the former "Gauleiter" or governor of Vienna Baldur von Schirach was awarded the orchestra's prestigious Honorary Ring after being released from Spandau prison - in 1966.
Von Schirach, convicted of crimes against humanity and imprisoned at the Nuremberg trials, had "called the deportation of 185,000 Austrian Jews a 'contribution to European culture'", Walser said.
Another recipient, in 1942, of the award was Arthur Seyss-Inquart, "Reichskommissar" of the occupied Netherlands where he organised the deportation to their deaths of 100 000 Jews. He was executed in 1946.
Mayrhofer and the orchestra's spokesman, violinist Clemens Hellsberg, published a 1988 brochure saying that six Jewish musicians from the Philharmonic were murdered by the Nazis in Austria, and 11 deported to death camps.
Truempi has written a book on the subject and Rathkolb recently unearthed new information about famed conductor Herbert von Karajan under Hitler. The three historians will publish their report in March. - Sapa-AFP

Irondale, AL (EWTN) – Imagine being thrown into a hole in the ground or a metal trailer for months on end – being baked in 120 degree heat -- and later becoming blind after being pulled from this darkness into bright light. Your crime? Reading the Bible. This is just one of many stories of Christian persecution relayed in "The Suffering Church," a 13-part original series, which will begin airing in September exclusively on EWTN Global Catholic Network.
Most Catholics think religious persecution reached its zenith during the Roman Empire, when Nero set Christians ablaze and used them as torches or fed them to the lions. However, the truth is that more Christians have died for their faith in the 20th Century than in ALL the preceding centuries put together.
Watch "The Suffering Church" to learn the truth about Christian persecution in China, Burma, North Korea, Pakistan, Vietnam/Laos, Iraq, Sudan, Nigeria, Egypt, Eritrea/Ethiopia, India, and Sri Lanka – and, most importantly, what you can do to help. This series is part of EWTN's continuing commitment to shining the light on Catholic social justice concerns around the world.
The series is hosted by Lord David Alton, a member of the British Parliament, who launched "Jubilee Campaign UK" in 1987. That campaign has resulted in more than 150 members of Parliament "adopting" cases of religious discrimination around the world.
Lord Alton's guests, who have dedicated their lives to intervening in such cases, include Ann Buwalda, an immigration attorney in Northern Virginia who founded the U.S. branch of the Jubilee Campaign in the early 90s, and top figures from Aid to the Church in Need, the Institute on Religion and Public Policy, Coalition for the Defense of Human Rights, American Center for Law & Justice, and many, many more.
Lord Alton also talks with natives such as Rev. John Chol Daau, a former "lost boy" and founder of the first Christian newspaper in Sudan, Professor Habtu Ghebre-Ab, President and Founder of "In Chains for Christ," Bob Fu, President of the China Aid Association, and many others.
Viewers will also meet U.S. Congressmen concerned about the problem, who will talk about the places they have visited and what they've been able to do to put pressure on various governments.
The pain and suffering revealed in this series are almost unimaginable to Westerners. In Burma, a democratically-elected leader is imprisoned simply because she was freely elected by the people; in China, the bishop of Shanghai spent 30 years in Chinese prisons just for being Catholic; in Pakistan, "blasphemy laws" are often used by Muslims to justify violent and murderous acts of intolerance; in Sudan, non-Muslims are beaten, jailed, kidnapped and killed for meeting with people interested in coming to Christ; in Iraq, Christians are persecuted in the hopes of getting them to emigrate, but in Eritrea in Africa, Christians who are brutally treated are not allowed to leave.
These are just a few of the facts you will learn in this must-see series.
If you care about your persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ, and want to help them, you will not want to miss, "The Suffering Church," airing 11 p.m. ET Sundays and 5:30 a.m. ET Tuesdays beginning in September, exclusively on EWTN. For channel information, please go to www.ewtn.com/channelfinder.
EWTN Global Catholic Network, in its 29th year, is available in over 150 million television households in more than 140 countries and territories. With its direct broadcast satellite television and radio services, AM & FM radio networks, worldwide short-wave radio station, Internet website, www.ewtn.com, and publishing arm, EWTN is the largest religious media network in the world.

Speed is believed to be the cause of a rollover accident on westbound Interstate 70 involving a jeep and a trailer carrying horses. According to the Grand Junction Police Department who responded to the accident, the male driver of the jeep apparently rear–ended the horse trailer, lost control of his vehicle and flipped over after colliding with a guardrail. The man was conscious and breathing when emergency crews arrived on–scene, he was taken to St. Mary's Hospital with injuries that are believed to be minor.
I–70 was reduced to one lane in both directions for nearly an hour, but did not cause any traffic tie–ups. Due to the damage of the horse trailer, emergency crews had to extricate the horses. The accident is still under investigation and it is unknown whether the driver of the jeep will be cited.

Following the Dodgers and Exploring The Team's Past
[powered by WordPress.]
LA Times columnist Steve Henson wrote a nice column on the Dodgers new manager, Grady Little. Little will take over after Jim Tracy was dismissed during the offseason after coaching the Dodgers for the last five years. Little became infamous after he left Pedro Martinez in a little (no pun intended) too long in game seven of the 2003 ALCS. He was fired after only two seasons in Boston and while the Red Sox won it the year after he was gone, it would have been interesting to see how Little would have done if he had the services of both Curt Schilling and Keith Foulke.
There was some speculation that former Dodger's pitcher Orel Hershiser would become the next coach but Little ended up getting the job.
Jim Tracy, not Chad.
