A Pair Of Assholes

what's this?

Does this remind you of any trolls here??
This is for all of you who occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to take it out on someone! Don't take that bad day out on someone you know, take it out on someone you don't know!
Now get this. I was sitting at my desk, when I remembered a phone call I had to make. I found the number and dialed it. A man answered nicely saying, "Hello?" I politely said, "This is Bobby Carpenter and could I please speak to Melissa Lewis?"
Suddenly the phone was slammed down on me! I couldn't believe that anyone could be that rude. I tracked down Melissa's correct number and called her. She had transposed the last two digits incorrectly. After I hung up with Melissa, I spotted the wrong number still lying there on my desk. I decided to call it again. When the same person once more answered, I yelled "You're an asshole!" and hung up. Next to his phone number I wrote the word
"asshole," and put it in my desk drawer.
Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills, or had a really bad day, I'd call him up. He'd answer, and Id yell, "You're an asshole!" It would always cheer me up. Later in the year the phone company introduced caller ID. This was a real disappointment for me; I would have to stop calling the asshole.
Then one day I had an idea. I dialed his number, then heard his voice, "Hello." I made up a name. "Hi. This is the sales office of the telephone company and I'm just calling to see if you're familiar with our caller ID program?" He went, "No!" and slammed the phone down. I quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're an asshole!"
A little background as to why: I was waiting to park at the mall and an elderly lady took her time pulling out of the parking space. I didn't think she was ever going to leave. Finally, her car began to move and she started to very slowly back out of the slot. I backed up a little more to give her plenty of room to pull out. Great, I thought, she's finally leaving. All of a sudden this black Camaro comes flying up the parking aisle in the wrong direction and pulls into her space. I started honking my horn and yelling, "You cant just do that, Buddy. I was here first!" The guy got out of his Camaro completely ignoring me. He walked toward the mall as if he didn't even hear me. I thought to myself, This guys an asshole. There are sure a lot of assholes in the world.
Then I noticed he had a "For Sale" sign in the back window of his car. I wrote down the number and I hunted for another place to park. A couple of days later, I'm at home sitting at my desk. I had just gotten off the phone after calling 555-8863 and yelling, "You're an asshole!" (Its really easy to call him now since I have his number on speed dial.)
I noticed the phone number of the guy with the black Camaro lying on my desk and thought I better call this guy too. He answered the phone and said, "Hello." I said, "Is this the man with the black Camaro for sale?" "Yes, it is." "Can you tell me where I can see it?" "Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th street. Its a yellow house and the cars parked right out front." I said, "What's your name?" "My name is Don Hansen." "When's a good time to catch you, Don?" "I'm home in the evenings." "Listen Don, can I tell you something?" "Yes." "Don, you're an asshole!" And I slammed the phone down.
After I hung up, I added Don Hansen's number to my speed dialer. For a while things seemed to be going better for me. Now when I had a problem I had two assholes to call. Then, after a while of calling the assholes and hanging up on them, it just wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be.
I gave the problem some serious thought and came up with a solution: First, I had my phone dial asshole #1. The man answered nicely saying, "Hello." I yelled "You're an asshole!", but I didn't hang up. The dumb ass said, "Are you still there?" I said, "Yeah." He said, "Stop calling me." I said, "No." He said, "What's your name, pal?" I said, "Don Hansen." He said "Where do you live?" "1802 West 34th Street. Its a yellow house and my black Camaro's parked out front." "I'm coming over right now, Don. You'd better start saying your prayers." "Yeah, like I'm really scared, asshole!" and I hung up.
Then I called asshole #2. He answered, "Hello." I said, "Hello, asshole!" He said, "If I ever find out who you are..." "You'll what?" "Ill kick your ass." "Well, here's your chance. I'm coming right over, asshole!" And I hung up.
Then I picked up the phone and called the police. I told them I was at 1802 West 34th Street and that I was going to kill my gay lover as soon as he got home.
Another quick call to Channel 13 about the gang war going down on W. 34th Street. After that I climbed into my car and headed over to 34th Street to watch the whole thing play out. Glorious! Watching two assholes beating the crap out of each other in front of six squad cars, a police helicopter, and the entire news media was one of the greatest experiences of my life

Nov 26 @ 4:17PM
That was brilliant!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Doc!!!
Nov 26 @ 6:06PM
Sorry Doc, that is an old joke and one which you neither lived nor experienced. Trying to bolster your ego by putting yourself in a situation you obviously have neither the wit, nor intelligence to pull off just negates any credibility you have for any further posts. Doc....you flat out lied and you know you did. You're an old fraud. Sorry Doc, so much for your greatest experience.
Nov 26 @ 6:38PM
That's why it was tagged joke, funny, story ..
Your reading comprehension is obviously lacking
Everybody knows that I copy and paste 99% of my blogs
Drcockatiel with the little birdy's pecker..Fuckin' DUH!!!
Pretty much you can go back to being turned down in the forums
by every woman except Featherbrainlite
You seem to be in the minority of one here..Fuck off!
I think I'll go find a corner and cry
..After that love letter you sent to my email and now you're dissing me for a fucking joke???
Nov 26 @ 6:41PM
Sorry other dr..... Personally, I had never seen that one before... I don't think Doc was saying he wrote this.........he just posted it man! And a number of people, including myself, enjoyed reading it and got a laugh..... do you have to be a jerk about it? We already have enough people being assholes on this site, don't join them!
It's the beginning of the Holiday Season... .try to enjoy it and not be snide or shitty to other people!
Nov 26 @ 6:43PM
Looks like he deleted it again! Guess his next stop would be to block you altogether but he's classier than that!!
Ain't ya Doc?!?!?!
Nov 26 @ 6:48PM
Sorry this old fart's been on my white ass for awhile and I've never said a word to the geezer. If he does label it a joke, which he hasn't, I'll let him off the hook. Otherwise he's a fraud I'll expose. He'll also have to prologue it correctly. I'll wait for a bit...it's up to him.
Nov 26 @ 6:56PM
Who really gives a fuck??
As I said everybody knows I copy and paste blogs..
Shit, I'll send them the link if they want it
You're definitely not gonna win any friends or sympathy fuckin' with me.
You betcha Babe
I can't help it if Drcockatiel can't read and comprehend
Guess we can add one more asshole
Nov 26 @ 7:01PM
hey DOC, maybe we should start calling you REV so there's no confusion........
While it's an oldie, it's still a goodie.......Thanks for the grin and chuckle!
Can use 'em today!
Nov 26 @ 7:02PM
I have never tagged one of my blogs.... even though it says in the rules that you're supposed to, it's just not something I've ever done... so I really don't care what it is classified as... if I enjoy reading it, I comment, if I don't like it, I don't feel the need to comment... it's a very simple concept!!
I don't see you posting any jokes or anything to make us laugh or think.... so lay off those who are! You want to hang around in blogs, then contribute! We would probably enjoy your blogs too!
And I'm not trying to attack you... just setting your ass straight! LOL
Nov 26 @ 7:03PM
Hey LBS! I'm glad you smiled and laughed today!! You deserve it!!
Nov 26 @ 7:05PM
Maybe you're checking the blogs or the video I've posted. In fact you even commented on one.
Nov 26 @ 7:16PM
I stand corrected dr.....
But I think I was actually commenting on what bunny said... she's so dang funny!!
Nov 26 @ 7:24PM
Hell he even deleted LBS's comment to try and cover his old ass as a fraud. Yes, he's trying hard to make himself a hero. I pity the old fool and may even let him off the hook. He's already exposed himself as a liar and unless he takes PTN off the blog, everyone's on to him anyway. Ah well, he know's he's full of it. I shouldn't stoop to his level and his vulgar retorts. You'd think someone of his advanced age would argue with reason rather then rancor.
Nov 26 @ 7:28PM
I loved it Doc...and it's the first time I've ever seen it.
Leaving you a greenie.
Btw Doc...the gals in here know you're not a fraud...so the hell with the peons and their stupid ass opinions! Geessshhh...I'm so freakin' sick of rude ass people. Get the fuck outta the blogs.
I feel sooooo much better now.
Nov 26 @ 7:30PM
OK old man, you can go ahead and delete now. Spin it pop....lol.
Nov 26 @ 7:51PM

The only time I've ever been on your sorry ass is when I was defending some poor little guy that you were posting garbage to in Fuck or Pass
I fucking hate phony bullies
Your date?? What's HIS name???
Nov 26 @ 8:35PM
I shouldn't stoop to his level and his vulgar retorts. You'd think someone of his advanced age would argue with reason rather then rancor.
After re-reading the comments on this blog, dr, you are the one who started in on Doc... not the other way around.....
Once again, not attacking you... just setting your ass straight!

Just bought a Catrike Trail...
All I can say is I love this thing, the chain was a pain in the ass though to string up.
I assembled it last night and took it out for a 5 1/2 hour maiden voyage around Calgary.
While out, I had a regular chain skip, turned out to be a stiff link, got that fixed and it broke not 10 min later... Fortunately came prepared with a chain tool and a master link, working beautifully after that.
Word of advice to anyone new to trikes... In the right gear, a trike will climb walls BUT if you're in the wrong gear and stall on a hill, park, rest a bit, and if you can't take off again, lock the brake then stand up after you've rested, rubber recumbent legs will bring you down like a limp noodle and you won't realize it in a reclining position.... I have a bruised tailbone now and bring an insulating cushion for your bottom if cold weather riding. Low mesh seat = freeze your backside off.

When choosing a new floor lava lamp, the biggest factor is value. I've bought my share of cheap lava lamps over the years, and it becomes such a hassle for something that is supposed to bring enjoyment and relaxation. The metal overheats, becoming a possible threat to children and sometimes warping the base over time. The lights die out sooner than they should, meaning you have to go out and buy more, which ends up costing much more after a while. Low quality lava sometimes mix with the liquid and becomes cloudy over time, ruining your lava lamp and wasting your money. Thus, you could buy a cheap one from any random store, but it will end up costing you more money, stress and time.
As you can tell, a poorly made floor lava lamp can become quite a hassle, while a good quality lava lamp will add peacefulness and mood to your life for many years to come, without the stress. The base is made of quality material and constructed to properly distribute heat. The bulbs are higher quality and last longer, saving you money and effort. Finally, the lava mix is made of good quality materials that are specifically made for the best performance, keeping the liquid clear.
"I just want to buy a floor lava lamp" is what you might be thinking. Then you don't have to worry because I have collected lots of lava lamps over the years and have found the best based in quality, cost, and convenience. You'll want to get the best you can for the money when you get a lava lamp of this size. I've bought and tested all the floor lava lamps below and recommend them so you can simply select one you like, worry-free. All are through Amazon, a reputable and trusted retailer, who has a 30 day money back guarantee, so you can test the lamps yourself.
250 ounce – Floor Lava Lamp
The Grande is the "big daddy" of all lava lamps. It takes the classic lava lamp line of the 60's and hulks it up to 250 ounces and 27" tall.
|Black and Clear Floor Lava Lamp
One of my favourite lava lamps. The slow moving lava is more soothing than most. The black on clear gives it a classy, simplistic look. Select Black/Clear under Color.
|Yellow and Purple Floor Lava Lamp
The purple and yellow in this lava lamp is a very soothing combination that creates a fun, retro atmosphere. I've had nothing but good experiences with this one. Select Yellow/Purple under Color.
|Yellow and Blue Floor Lava Lamp
I really enjoy this one. The bright colors make it a great addition to any part of the house Select Yellow/Blue under Color.
|Pink and Purple Huge Lava Lamp
I like the way the purple contrasts with the pink in this one. The colors mix very well. Great for a girl's room. Select Pink/Purple under Color.
Size Comparison Chart
Obviously Lava Lamps come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes. To help put things into perspective, here is a simple size chart to help when choosing the right Lava Lamp. 20 oz is the standard lava lamp size.
|8 oz and 10"
|20 oz and 14.5"
|52 oz and 16.3"
|250 oz and 27"

On January 24th and 25th, the Alliance for Peace and Justice hosted TechCamp Honduras with help from the Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations (CSO), Embassy Tegucigalpa, and eDiplomacy. Over the course of the two-day program, civil society organizations and local technologists worked together with tech trainers from the region and the United States to identify gaps in civilian security and brainstorm solutions to systemic issues using cheap, powerful open source solutions.
US Ambassador to Honduras Lisa Kubiske opened the TechCamp with a welcoming speech that voiced strong support for the use of new technology and social media in civil society to tackle issues of corruption and violence. Her enthusiasm helped set the tone for the event, which attracted more than one hundred participants and technology trainers for the next two days, as well as a substantial contingent of local press.
Day 1 was run by the technology trainers, who ran rapid-fire "speed-geeking" sessions, where small groups of TechCamp participants gained exposure to the different products and practices available at the event. A variety of cutting edge technologies were on display, including crowd mapping programs, digital radio and video production techniques, the latest in early warning SMS technology, platforms for digitizing data in practical applications, as well as internet and smart phone security practices. These quick presentations lay the foundation for more detailed training sessions that followed, with some trainers attracting more than 20 participants.
The "breakout sessions" that continued into the second day of the program were directed by local civil society representatives and focused on the most pressing problems they identified in the area of citizen security. A well-known blogger from Ciudad Juarez Mexico reviewed possible ideas for blogs that could help to document accounts of everyday violence. Another tech trainer, with extensive experience working in Syria and other conflict environments, explained how open source programs could help provide online security to counteract retaliation by organized crime or corrupt officials.
Collaboration between civil society representatives and technologists offered a window into the collective frustration with the Honduran government's inability to address urgent concerns about local safety and security, as well as with corruption among the political elite. However, what began as frustration quickly turned to excitement as the participants began to incorporate software and mobile technology into practical, low-cost solutions to their problems. One group suggested creating a blog as an anonymous anti-corruption tip line. Another popular session helped activists learn better narrative techniques to develop video content for YouTube that could enable anyone with a cell phone or camera to document and publicize their grievances for external audiences.
In Honduras, CSO funded the TechCamp as part of its in-country engagement on citizen security, working closely with the Embassy and a local NGO to organize it. The local IBM subsidiary and Cerveceria Hondureña also supported the event. CSO and eDiplomacy also worked with local World Bank representatives on a regional "hackathon" the weekend after TechCamp that enlisted technologists to write the actual computer code that could turn conceptual solutions into fully functioning platforms in the area of domestic violence.
TechCamps facilitate an organic process that has to be directed by civil society representatives themselves —identifying a serious problem, brainstorming practical solutions to address that problem with readily available technology, and eventually, implementing that solution in the community. In Honduras, the people that are affected most directly by a pervasive culture of fear and violence are the owners of these solutions, and now, they are equipped with both a means of fighting back, as well as a new network of fellow citizens, activists and organizations to lean on for support.
As part of Secretary Clinton's Civil Society 2.0 initiative, the Offices of eDiplomacy and the Senior Advisor on Information Technology (SAIT) have successfully organized TechCamps in more than twenty countries around the world. Additional information on the project and other TechCamps around the world is available athttp://techcampglobal.org/.
You can follow TechCamps on Facebook at TechCampGlobal, and on Twitter @TechCampGlobal.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- Forget the breakfast counters, coffee houses and town halls.
Florida is a TV state.
And across this state of more than 16 million people -- with a distinct "media market'' for about one in every 1.5 million of those Floridians -- the TV is burning this morning with ads.
On a day when the United States appears to be bracing for a run on the financial markets, Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of New York, is promising on TV to"jump-start our economy.''
On a day when Americans are waking up to videotapes of that slugfest of a debate between Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in South Carolina last night, Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, is warning TV viewers: "If you send the same people back to Washington, just to sit at different chairs, nothing will happen. I wll take it apart and put it back together. I will change Washington.''
He also is pulling at the family heartstrings of Cuban-American voters with a Spanish TV salute by his son, called simply, "Mi Padre'' -- "Mitt Romney es mi papa,'' son Craig explains.
And Sen. John McCain, whose roller coaster of a campaign has been recharged by wins in New Hampshire and South Carolina, and who is campaigning across Florida with reminders of the courage he displayed as a prisoner of war, is teling TV viewers here: "Never surrender.''
With one in ten of Florida's Republican primary votes likely to be cast by Cuban-Americans, the Spanish-language television markets are a must-stop for candidates here.
Romney has launched a Spanish ad in a community where family ties and commitments run strong, featuring son Craig. In English, it goes like this:
"Mitt Romney's record speaks for itself: Successful as a businessman, saved the Olympics, and as Governor of Massachusetts, lowered taxes and stimulated the economy.
"But above all, Mitt Romney is a family man, a great father, husband and grandfather.
"I know because Mitt Romney is my Dad.
"I'm Craig Romney and I invite you to get to know my father, Mitt Romney, a leader who loves our nation, recognizes our challenges and has solutions to confront them."
Try it en espanol:
"El record de Mitt Romney habla por si solo. Exitoso como empresario, salvó las Olimpiadas, y como gobernador de Massachusetts bajó los impuestos y estimuló la economía.
"Pero sobre todo, Mitt Romney es un hombre de familia, un gran padre, esposo y abuelo.
"Yo lo se porque Mitt Romney es mi papá.
"Soy Craig Romney y les invito a conocer mejor a mi padre, Mitt Romney, un líder que ama a nuestra nación, reconoce nuestros retos y tiene soluciones para enfrentarlos".
McCain speaks for himself, with the help of a narrator, in his new Florida ad, running statewide.
"One man sacrificed for his country,'' the announcer says. " One man opposed a flawed strategy in Iraq. One man had the courage to call for change. One man didn't play politics with the truth. One man stands up to the special interests."
McCain comes in near the closing: "Stand up. We're Americans, we're Americans and we'll never surrender, they will."
And the announcer: "One man does what's right, not what's easy. John McCain."
Giuliani, who has more to lose than perhaps any other Republican in the Florida race, having staked his campaign on a big-state strategy, is appealing to the anti-tax sentiments of a state that will vote on a property tax-limiting state constitutional amendment on primary day.
He also is appealing to a hurricane-prone state, calling himself the only Republican who supports a federal catastrophe fund to support property owners struck by catastrophic storms.
"Taxes, insurance, housing, all a mess, but Rudy Giuliani knows how to fix those,'' the announcer says in his TV ad. Promising that Giuliani will deliver sweeping tax cuts, the announcer states: "Rudy will jump-start our economy with the biggest tax cut in history.'

Many bands and solo artists have combined forces and infused songs with classical elements by collaborating with a symphony orchestra. Some have become all-time classics.
There are also classical elements infused in some rock music when an entire symphony orchestra was not used, but the classical sound and style come across powerfully.
Since it was recently in the news (and a chorus from BU accompanied them), here's a classic favorite:
"You Can't Always Get What You Want" -- Rolling Stones
With orchestra or orchestral in nature -- either way. Albums or singles. What's your take?

A little more sea

A punishment instead of a solution
April 5, 2016. The decision to ban the private sector in Gaza from bringing in cement to Gaza constitutes collective punishment of individuals who have nothing to do with alleged violations of the protocols of the Gaza Reconstruction Mechanism (GRM)
COGAT refuses to process requests of Gaza runners wishing to participate in tomorrow's Palestine marathon due to "timing issues"

Losing weight is a learning experience. The biggest thing I've learned is I am my best friend and my worst enemy.
You see I am the only person who can motivate me to lose to weight. I am the only person who can cheer me on, who can stop me eating donuts and reach for a carrot instead of a block of chocolate. I am the only person who can make me go for a walk or refrain from late night snaking. I can make goals and stick to them. I am blinkered when I want to be, dogged. I don't lose sight of my personal aims.
I am also the only person who can break my goals - the only person who can self-sabotage with reckless abandon. Simple statements roll off my tongue like butter: "You look ugly", "You'll always be fat" and "Just have a day off from the diet, it won't hurt". All these statements start off quietly in my head and then get louder as the self-doubt grows. In a matter of moments, I can wipe out weeks of hard work. In a matter of moments, I can go from feeling invincible and proud of myself, to feeling like a loser unworthy of looking and feeling great.
After having my third child I decided it was time I got serious. Time to get my body back. But instead of losing weight, I was putting it on with gusto. At 84.5 kilos, I decided I needed a motivator so I signed up to the Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation program. It was the best $200 I've spent in a long time. It gave me the boost I needed to kick-start my weight loss.
My husband and I followed the program together, but about half way through we started doing our own thing. We didn't fail, we just felt like we'd got we needed out of it. We'd both lost about 7 kilos each and were ready to go it alone. What we were left with was a new way of living. We now eat smaller portions, exercise regularly, don't snack, drink less and eat much healthier.
The problem is I keep talking myself out of achieving my medium-term goal of losing 10 kilos. I'm so close I can taste it. I can get into size 14 jeans again and can see size 12 within reach. But as I start to reap the benefits, my negative voices get louder. At present, I am having an internal struggle to stop the self-sabotaging. I've plateaued.
I have 7 more kilos I want to lose. I need to get serious with myself and get back into a strict routine. Head down, bum up. Hopefully, in a few months that head of mine will be filled with only positive thoughts and my bum will be a lot smaller.
How do you fight the self-sabotage?

Condensation of a paper written by a layman who has developed a technic for caring for a colostomy which enables him to carry on an active life cheerfully. This grateful patient hopes that the routine which he has developed after periods of trial and error will encourage and inspire fellow sufferers to a bright outlook on life.—Ed.A year ago I consulted a surgeon for what I believed was a slight rectal ailment. He told me that I had cancer of the rectum and that I would have to undergo an operation involving removal of the rectum and terminating of the bowel tract in a colostomy. After he explained that this would mean that, even if the operation was entirely successful, I would have no control over excretion of fecal matter, I cared little whether I survived the operation or not.

August likely to expire without more rain
After the heavy rains on the 12th, August was already well ahead of the long-term averages for rainfall in Baltimore. The airport has recorded 4.74 inches so far this month, nearly two inches more than the average.
But the forecast from here looks dry. The folks in Sterling show the clouds we see today clearing away by tomorrow and Friday, with relatively cool, dry air moving in from the Great Lakes, as it often does here in late August.
And that means no rain anywhere in the 7-day forecast. We're looking at clear skies, sunshine and starry nights right through Tuesday, with temperatures slowly climbing back into the seasonable 80s, and by Sunday back toward the downright hot 90-degree range.
Looks like a fine weekend for the beach, or just about any outdoor activity you may be planning before the kiddies (most of them) go back to school on Monday.
Radiational cooling at night will drop temperatures into the 50s across much of the region Thursday and Friday nights. Open the sash and have a blanket handy.
Clear and dry may be fine for Central Maryland, which has seen plenty of rain in recent weeks. But Western Maryland, Southern Maryland and the Lower Eastern Shore remain very dry. Another week of sunny skies will only add to their problems.

text: A local man was forced into a car and robbed at gunpoint Tuesday night, but managed to escape; the three suspects in the car were later arrested without incident. The man, a 19-year-old Lincoln resident, told police he was standing on the sidewalk at approximately 11 p.m. near Silverton Circle when three suspects pulled up to him in an older vehicle, forced him into the vehicle at gunpoint, and robbed him. He said that he was able to escape from the vehicle when it stopped for a traffic signal within a few blocks. During an area check for the vehicle, Lincoln Police officers received information that a vehicle matching the suspect vehicle description was at G and Third streets. The three occupants, two 17-year old Lincoln residents, and 18-year-old Roberto Morales, of Rocklin, were taken into custody without incident. The two juveniles were later booked at Placer County Juvenile Hall, and Morales was later booked at Placer County Jail. All three suspects were booked for robbery, kidnapping, conspiracy, possession of stolen property, and false imprisonment. Morales also was booked for possession of a loaded firearm in a vehicle.

Middle English (also in the sense 'assize, ordinance fixing a rate of payment'): from Old French sise, from assise 'ordinance', or a shortening of assize.
Early use of the word was as a synonym for assize, of which it is a shortening. This came from French assise, from Latin assidere 'sit by' which developed the sense 'to sit down in judgement, assess' of which it is also the source. The notion of fixing an amount led to the word's use to express magnitude and bulk. The phrase size up appeared in the late 19th century. The history of the size (Middle English) used in painting is not clear. See also seat

The church of Hailuoto, built in 1972, is a representation of typical modern Finnish architecture. The main building, located in Hailuoto centre, was designed by architect Irma Aaltonen and professor Matti Aaltonen.
The altar of the church is unique because of its monumental window that allows an amazing view to a spectacular pine forest.
The ruins of the oldest wooden church in Finland, built in 1620, can be seen in the nearby graveyard. Unfortunately, the oldest church was lost in fire caused by unknown reasons in August 1968.
There are some unique objeccts that were saved from the fire. The original pulpit painted by Mikael Toppelius and some wooden apostle statues made in the 16th century.
Opening hours
During the service and summertime (June-August) Mon-Sat 13 PM - 6 PM, and on Sundays 10 AM - 4 PM. For special visits, booking is needed from Local Guides.

Success, Heroes and Idols

Heroes and idols play a big part in our world; we have them in sport, we have them in business, we have them in entertainment. Commonly we compare failure and success in the context of the heroes and idols we see on a day-to-day basis. The danger is that, as well as giving us something to aspire to, heroes and idols can also give us something that diminishes our own self-value system.

At 81, the former host of "American Bandstand" will play at least a nominal camera role on the annual "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve 2011 with Ryan Seacrest" (ABC, 10 and 11:30 p.m.), which features Natasha Bedingfield, Jason Derulo, Drake, Avril Lavigne, Train, La Roux, Mike Posner, Ne-Yo, and the artist I really want to see, Willow Smith. Jenny McCarthy joins the hosting team that also includes Fergie in Los Angeles.
Also in the West, Nancy O'Dell hosts "New Year's Eve Live" (Fox, 11 p.m.) from Mandalay Bay resort in Las Vegas, with some reporting from New York. Among its performers will be Travie McCoy and David Archuleta.
X Games dominate the "New Year No Limits" (ESPN, 11 p.m.) event from San Diego.
Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and My Chemical romance play "NBC's New Year's Eve with Carson Daly" (NBC, 10 and 11:30 p.m.), the host's only annual foray into prime time. He'll also interview Bono and the Edge about the music they wrote for the injury plagued "Spider-Man" musical.
CNN keeps inviting back Kathy Griffin back to help host "New Year's Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin" (CNN, 11 p.m.), in which her goal is to crack Cooper up and possibly break network taste standards. It's preceded by the usual news countdowns "Anderson Cooper 360's All the Best, All the Worst 2010" (CNN, 8 and 10 p.m.) in between is a special "Larry King Live" (CNN,9 p.m.). And you thought he retired.
The dullest event may be "All American New Year" (Fox News, 11 p.m.) hosted by Bill Hemmer and Megyn Kelly in New York, with performances by Rick Springfield and Katharine McPhee.
Self-styled (and -satisfied) TV host Andy Cohen hosts his own event in the studio for the first time. "Watch What Happens Live: Andy's New Year's Party" (Bravo, 10:30 p.m.) features appearances from Sandra Bernhard, Megan McCain, various "Real Housewives," Jimmy Fallon, "Rent is Too Damn High" guy Jimmy McMillan and what they're calling "your favorite Bravolebrities."
Viewer votes will determine the exact lineup of the five hour "Shake It up New Year's" (Disney, 6 p.m.). But part of the event will be the "Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam" Freestyle Jam" (Disney, 8 p.m.) with the stars of the movie teaching dance moves from the summer musical.

Look – computers will never have souls. It's disappointing to admit, but we all have to face facts at some point in our lives. Maybe one day they'll manage to act alive, but they will never feel our love. They have no feelings. They are soulless, uncaring devices that we all too often assign our own humanity to – just like cats.
But of course, in film, that would just be no fun. It's better to have an A.I. that is dynamic and has some kind of personality, even if that personality is a lack of any kind of personality.
The key is the voice, and here are some of the most unforgettable ones…
10. Julianne Moore as ARIIA – Eagle Eye
Anyone see this film? It's not bad in terms of an on-TV Sunday afternoon hangover film. You know the kind, like Bad Company or Enemy Of The State. Stuff where sun glare almost adds to the film.
The whole thing centers on this insane computer ball that really needs Shia LaBeouf's face so that it can kill the president because the constitution told it to. Look, it's not a perfect plot, but they are trying. What is perfect is Julianne Moore and her scary robot voice as she inflicts her will on these characters by blackmailing them and holding their loved ones hostage – which is impressive since the A.I. never has to leave it's little room, which for some reason looks the set of a rap video after a flood. Why the hell anyone would suspend a super computer over water is beyond me.
9. Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime – Transformers
Peter Cullen sounds like a mustache. There's really no other way to describe that voice – he's what bears would sound like if they could talk. Vocal musk. And he's been the voice of Optimus Prime from the very start.
Say what you want about Michael Bay (seriously go right ahead – he means nothing to me), the man did a good deed bringing back the original voice actor for Prime. Hell – he did a good deed bringing back Transformers. I know I'm not going to get any prizes for saying this, but those films were as good as they deserved to be. After all, we're talking about a TV show in the 80s literally made to sell toys – why would the film be anything different? It was fine. I hope the make 30 of those things.
8. Kevin Spacey as GERTY – Moon
Spacey was long overdue to play a robot. His perpetual calmness makes him the perfect kind of creepy that really lends itself to outer space A.I. He always sounds like he's trying to talk you down, which is also why he was perfect in The Negotiator – unlike Samuel L. Jackson. Seriously, who would hire Samuel L. Jackson as a hostage negotiator?
Anyway, Moon. Good film, good film. The beauty of GERTY was that he was clearly written in as a red herring. His smiley face expression, apparent initial resistance to Sam, and ultra soothing voice just reeked of evil robot. Then, nothing. The whole film you're waiting for him to go bad and he just smiles and goes about his business – and that's almost the joke of it. The twist is that there was no twist, and it was your own robot prejudice that was leading you down the wrong path.
Suddenly, it is you who is the bad robot!
I think we've all learned an important lesson about robot stereotypes today.
7. Phil Hendrie as I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E – Team America: World Police
This was brilliant a few levels – but the best part really had to be the voice. Apathetic and unsure, I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E was a talking shrug. The perfect scapegoat for Team America's uninformed actions.
What baffles me is why after this film there were no other marionette puppet films done. It's a great new genre that could have really picked up. I bet those poor puppeteers got really hopeful too. "Oh my god! Puppets are back! I don't have to do any more shows out of my brother's garage/where I live."
Seriously though, it's really no better than a cartoon, and there are tons of advantages. DP Bill Pope, who also did The Matrix and Spider-Man, noted in the DVD extras that when you can cover the scale equivalent of like a hundred feet in a quarter that, it makes for some awesome action shots. They even purposefully dumbed down the puppet work and facial animatronics for the sake of comedy – imagine how cool a puppet action movie would be using their full potential. Let's do this!
6. David Warner as Master Control Program – TRON
You gotta respect the actors in TRON, man. Think about what they were doing! Some dude gives them a bunch of grey spandex and bike helmets and tells them "Trust me! Just act like you're a computer program and this thing will totally be a hit!" And they just went with it.
It's the reason films like Zardoz exists – because everything looks ridiculous on paper, so all you can do is just film it and see what happens. Seriously – Star Wars has a giant hairy man in it. You think anyone first read that script and thought it would be a hit? This is why TRON must have been such a leap of faith.
So yeah. David Warner. I didn't even realize it was him because of that weird robot filter they put his voice through, but I guess this guy doesn't just play the bad guy boss Dillinger but also the bad guy MCP. It makes sense in retrospect. Anyone running a company with an elevator button labeled "laser bay" is going to be maniacal and self-centered enough to use their own voice for their evil A.I. assistant. In another world he'd be a Bond villain.

Details are emerging that the man who slaughtered elementary school children and teachers may have had even bigger, more gruesome plans.
A law enforcement official says Adam Lanza had "lots of ammo" on him when he killed himself, enough to carry out considerably more carnage. The official was not authorized to release details of the case and spoke on condition of anonymity.
That followed Gov. Dannel Malloy's statement Sunday that the shooter decided to kill himself when he heard first responders closing in after about 10 minutes of shootings.
The shooting is the largest massacre of school-age children in U.S. history.

A teenager is still missing, and officials say it's very unlikely he survived. He was swept over a waterfall in Yosemite National Park.
Monday, dog teams helped in the search for the 19-year-old.
He hasn't been seen since he was swimming in a river at the California park on Saturday afternoon.
He went over the edge of what's called the Nevada Fall.
Swimming in that part of the river is not against the law, but park officials say there are warning signs posted.
