According to biblical scholars (non-christians included) historical Jesus existed. Details/sources/evidence on his life and actions and character are sketchy and will always be extremely vague and almost meaningless. It's probably a waste of time to research just what kind of guy Jesus was.
However it is not at all a waste of time to watch "The life of Brian" which paints an extremely speculative (and absurd) portrait of Jesus ... only a million times more believable than St. Johns gospel.
Depends on if you want to assign any essential historical accuracy to the gospels. If you do, then fabrication and exaggeration are ruled out, and Lewis also makes a pretty good case that liar and lunatic should be ruled out as well. So he's either the Son of God or someone who really shouldn't be all that noteworthy, in which case, why is everyone on this planet so curious about him?
Jesus was a Jewish Zealot who lived under Roman occupation. He opposed Roman rule and those Jews who sympathized and colluded with them like the priests and money changers at the temple. He was executed by Rome for sedition. I think that much is clear from all the evidence that we have. I would recommend the book Zealot by Reza Aslan. It's a great read.
good video
Personally I don't believe he existed based on the lack of credible evidence, plus the fact there are no records of him in the Roman record... no documentation, nothing. This at a time when he was supposed to be the talk of the town. Add to this the fact that Nazareth never existed at the supposed time of Jesus and the whole thing smells of bullshit.
This is a good video on it.
(Not having watched the video). Your argument doesn't take into account the possibility that a perfectly ordinary street corner preacher got his ass executed, and then after his death a huge legend got built up around him. The records wouldn't show him existing because he'd be too small potatoes to be worth recording, at the time they nailed him up.
I know the prevailing opinion is that a historical Jesus existed. Historian Richard Carrier makes a very interesting case for why he does not believe this. (Edit: I realize this has already been posted.) I recommend watching the whole lecture, I found it extremely interesting.
Carrier says that around the alleged time of Jesus, there was a trend of new religions which would mix Greek philosophy with some other culture. He states that the story of Jesus is a mix of Greek and Jewish thought in a way that is very similar to other mixing of Greek and Egyptian, Greek and . There was also a trend of dying and rising gods who gave salvation by being resurrected. (At about 13 minutes.)
Hey Renee,
As much as I've searched I've never been able to find any evidence that he existed. What I did find was shown to be forgeries. Anybody out there know of some solid evidence that this guy actually existed? I think it's an interesting question.

Blooming spices, or gently frying them in oil, is a quick way to deepen their flavor.
Leave a Review
Simplicity at its best! The spice oil perfectly complimented the scallops, as does the cilantro & parsley salad. There was nothing to fault with this recipe. Definitely 'restaurant' quality meal with little effort. I served with Red Quinoa with Pistachios and roasted carrots. Definitely a keeper.
This recipe was very good. I made it just as instructed except I substituted endive for the parsley as I did not have parsley. Light and tasty. Definitely will make it again.
Great recipe! A lot of recipes for scallops bury the flavor of the shellfish. The spice oil, in spite of being strongly flavoured, compliments the scallops rather than overwhelming them.
The spice oil is to die for. I am resisting the tempration to dab it behind my ears. I think I will make a quantity.I wonder how long it will keep with the raw garlic in it?
The spice oil delivers a knockout punch! It got me even before I added the lemon juice and garlic. Just delicious! The cumin adds a "nutty" flavour that complements a similar taste in the scallops, so it is a perfect pairing. The oil is so great, you can just about drink it straight!
Excellent! I used the extra oil on spare ribs. I would make this again. I punched the salad up a bit with fresh boston lettuce and roasted vegi's.
I followed the recipe for the oil and scallops, but for the salad, I used some fresh organic red lettuce we received in our weekly CSA box. I added to the lettuce about a quarter cup of diced curley parsley and topped it with grilled asperagus which had been peeled and seasoned with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Then I dressed the lettuce with lemon-infused olive oil, raspberry vinegar and a little S & P. Turned out well. I'll try it again soon to use up the rest of the spice oil.
A simple and delicious oil to drizzle on anything. I want to try this as a spice rub for grilled meats using powdered garlic, no lemon rind and less oil.
I agree with all the reviewers: it was delicious! The only thing I would add is remove the oil from the stove and put it in a bowl, just like it says in the recipe. Then add the minced garlic and lemon peel. I added the garlic to the oil on the stove and almost burned the garlic. Also, when your cooking scallops make sure you don't fuss with them. Let them get brown in one spot before turning them over. This recipe is a keeper@
The spice oil is delicious and easy. I served this over grilled sockeye salmon and will try it on scallops next.

Thoroughly enjoyed The Mystery of Irma Vep. The actors performed marathon style, with split second character and costume changes. Very high energy and lots of fun! I took a guest and think that we both had a wonderful evening.

Hilarious, front to back. Definitely on the silly side, and much of the plot didn't make much sense, but I didn't mind at all. These two actors hit the nail on the head. I had a great time.

War Among the Crocodiles
The final book in The Shadow Wars trilogy! Sequel to The Raven and the Dancing Tiger and The Guardian Hound.
As a modern wizard, Yvette knows many things: how to imprint her name on the very stones of her land to protect it, how to hear secrets from winds great and small, and how to bake the perfect souffle (she is French, after all).
However, Yvette doesn't know how to stop the soul eaters—a group of corrupted human magicians who steal knowledge from her mind as easily as she picks daisies from a field.
When the soul eaters also attack the clans, the ancient families of shape shifters hidden among the humans, a war erupts in the shadows.
Can Yvette stop the soul eaters from destroying not only the clans, but her fellow magicians as well? Particularly when the clans have never trusted her kind, and wage their own internal wars?

This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. +517 119 to German patent application Ser. No. 102004032202.3, filed Jul. 2, 2004, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The invention concerns an organic photovoltaic component with a novel encapsulation.
As a rule, organic photovoltaic components are sensitive to environmental influences. To protect them against damage, the components, which usually include at least a substrate, an at least semitransparent bottom electrode, at least one organic photovoltaic functional layer and a top electrode, are completely coated or encapsulated. Many encapsulation methods are known, including placing entire dimensionally stable caps over the component and applying film coatings to the component and connecting them sealingly to the substrate.
The material used for such encapsulations is usually a synthetic or a glass, the essential requirements for the material being mechanical stability and barrier properties or tightness against moisture and/or air. Unfortunately, no ideal solutions to this problem have yet emerged in terms of the material used for the encapsulation, since materials that possess high tightness are usually lacking in mechanical stability and vice versa. Two especially critical factors with respect to tightness are the transition from the encapsulation to the substrate, although this problem has largely been solved by a wide variety of adhesive bonding and screw connection techniques; and the location in the encapsulation through which the contacts pass. In particular, the adhesive bonding of two glass plates always entails an adhesive joint that leads to permeation by gases/water.
The object of the invention is to make available an organic photovoltaic component with an encapsulation that combines mechanical stability with tightness and can nevertheless be produced simply and in a manner that lends itself to mass production.
This object is achieved by means of the subject matter of the independent claims and the associated dependent claims in combination with the description, and by means of the subject matter of the FIGURE.
The invention is directed to an organic photovoltaic component comprising an encapsulation, a substrate, an at least semitransparent bottom electrode, at least one organic, photovoltaically active functional layer and a top electrode plus the corresponding electrical contacts, wherein the encapsulation comprises at least one layer made of a metal composite material. The invention is further directed to a method of producing an organic photovoltaic component comprising an encapsulation, a substrate, a bottom electrode, at least one functional layer and a top electrode plus the corresponding electrical contacts, having at least the following method steps:
In one embodiment of the method, the encapsulation is either welded, adhesive-bonded and/or soldered to the substrate. In this case, the encapsulation is sealed, for example, by the low-cost welding of metal film to the substrate. The synthetic material layer of the encapsulation can also be connected to the substrate.
The electrodes can be placed in contact with a voltage and/or current source by being contacted through the encapsulation, either by welding or through the use of a low-temperature solder. Depending on the embodiment, a subregion of the film will have an exposed metal region to be used for contacting, thus ensuring a low contact resistance.
In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one of the through-connections of the component is made through the metal portions of the metal composite material. The good barrier properties, high mechanical stability and electrical conductivity of the metal of the encapsulation are used to best advantage in this way.
The metal composite material is a synthetic material or a glass that contains metal in some form. It can be a polymer filled with metal fibers, metal chips and/or other metal particles, but there can also be a layer structure containing alternating layers of metal, synthetic material or glass, for example in the form of ultra-thin films. The metal can also be present in the synthetic material or glass or as a layer or laminate in the form of fusible alloys, i.e. in the form of low-melting metal alloys.
In cases where both through-connections, that of the top and that of the bottom electrode, have been laid through the encapsulation, an electrically isolating portion must be present inside the metal composite forming the encapsulation to keep the two conductors electrically separated from each other.
The term "conductor" herein is to be construed as broadly as need be and not as limited to a continuous, i.e. gapless or solid, metallic conductor, since, for example, metallic-particle-filled synthetic materials can also go to make up the conductors.
The metal composite material according to the invention can be used to make components comprising either rigid or flexible encapsulations, the latter also being referred to under some circumstances as seals.
This object is achieved by means of the subject matter of the independent claims and the associated independent claims in combination with the description, and by means of the subject matter of the FIGURE.
The encapsulations preferably are in the thin and ultra-thin film range, i.e., have for example a thickness of 200 μm, preferably 75 μm and particularly preferably 30 μm.
In one embodiment, an encapsulation is produced by means of layer structure in which synthetic layers alternate with metal layers in a film composite and form a flexible encapsulation. This makes it possible in particular for the through-connections to be integrated into the encapsulation, since the two metal layers of the through-connections can be separated from each other effectively by layers of electrically isolating synthetic material to prevent short circuits. The metal layers of the through-connections can simultaneously contribute to the tightness and mechanical stability of the encapsulation.
The following layers, for example, can be applied one on top of the other: flexible film of a kind that can also be used as a substrate, metal film, flexible film. This film composite has high barrier properties against oxygen and water vapor, and the contacts can be led through the encapsulation into the metal layers of the encapsulating film composite.
Depending on the embodiment, for example a subregion of the film has an exposed metal region for contacting, thus resulting in a low contact resistance.
The encapsulation can, for example, be connected directly to the bottom and/or the top electrode instead of to the substrate. In this case, the encapsulation is connected to the component via contact with the at least semitransparent electrode and/or is connected to the top electrode through a layer that is isolated from the semitransparent electrode. The invention is described in further detail hereinbelow with reference to a FIGURE depicting an embodiment of the invention.
Recognizable at the bottom is a substrate 1, which can be either a flexible film or a rigid support, such as, for example, glass or quartz or the like. Disposed thereon is the bottom electrode 2, which is transparent so that radiation can pass through it to the active functional layer(s). According to one embodiment, at least one of the electrodes is nanostructured.
Disposed thereon is at least one photovoltaically active organic functional layer 3, which can be made from a wide variety of materials, depending on the component. The upper seal is formed by the top electrode 4. The component can, for example, be surmounted by a so-called topcoat, i.e. a protective film, which for the first time gives the component protection against non-ultra-clean-room conditions, making it possible for the encapsulation to be applied under normal manufacturing and/or production conditions.
Around the entire component and tightly connected to the substrate 1 is the encapsulation 5, comprising a metal composite material. The encapsulation leads the two contacts of the component outward through its metal portion. The encapsulation 5 comprises a synthetic portion 6 that is also present in particular at the location 8 where the two current-carrying metal portions 7 coming from opposite poles overlap. The metal portions 7 guide the contacts of both electrodes outward through the encapsulation.
In one embodiment, getter materials are inserted (sandwiched) between the encapsulating film and the element. Getter materials are materials that react very strongly with water molecules and oxygen atoms and bind and/or chemically neutralize them if they penetrate into the element. Examples of getter materials are zeolite and calcium oxide for water molecules and iron oxide for oxygen.
In one embodiment, getter materials are incorporated directly into the film.
The topcoat can be made from organic (parylene), inorganic (silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, silicon nitride (SiNx), etc.) or alternatively from a film composite with a hybrid structure (organic/inorganic).
The invention discloses for the first time the packaging of organic solar cells by means of a low-cost film composite that includes a metal portion. The packaging meets high requirements, particularly with respect to

Leading Elephant Poachers Arrested:
Is the Tide Turning for Tanzania's Elephants?
Elephants in Africa, particularly in Tanzania, have faced a devastating population drop in recent years. This is primarily due to a rapid rise in elephant poachers killing them for their ivory tusks in order to meet the increasing demand in Asia.
The elephant population has diminished by nearly 60% in a matter of five years, according to National Geographic. In 2009, the population consisted of 109,051 elephants, but that number had dropped to 43,330 last year. Some suggest that this drop may be due to migration, but such a rapid population decrease can only be explained by increased poaching all across East and South Africa.
However, a slew of recent arrests, initiatives and policy changes suggest that the people of Tanzania– and around the world– are finally ready to take serious action to reduce elephant poaching.

One tablespoon of Hemp oil has twice the GLA as your average Borage oil capsule, plus all the other benefits of this perfectly balanced oil. Nutiva Organic Hemp Oil is a delight, with a totally healthy and wholesome taste. The cork top, unlike that of most wine bottles,is not difficult to remove, and no cork screw is needed. Five Stars plus!
All organic, cold processed and comes in great glass bottle to help reduce possibilities of external contaminates seeping into container. For men, apparently, using flax oil for omega 3 supplement can adversely effect testosteron and estrogen levels. I use instead of olive oil in salads, hummus, and other foods. Also helps in me ongoin diet related battle with skin condition/irritation problems.

Feels good inside and out
Posted by Reviewer1967774 on Nov 08, 2011
I use this both for eating and for moisturizing. The taste is kind of nutty and grassy, not bitter at all. Anyone who says this product tastes bad just simply doesn't like the taste of hemp oil, it's no reflection of the quality of this particular product. I think the taste is really pleasant with herbs and spices (or plain, if you take this by the spoonful like medicine). Like others have said, I wouldn't recommend it in smoothies... the earthy flavor would clash unless maybe it's a greens smoothie. It's great mixed into salad dressings or drizzled over veggies. I also take a few drops of this and rub it into my hands and face at night because I live in a very dry climate. It helps a lot with the dry, flakey skin I tend to get. It doesn't matter to me, but in case it matters to you... my bottle did not come with a cork stopper like other reviewers have mentioned. Just a screw off lid and the typical plastic insert in the neck that stops drips when you pour. Works well.

Tastes great & glass bottle
Posted by Reviewer1367028 on Apr 26, 2010
Tastes great, comes in a glass bottle, and has a cork top. No oil should be stored in plastic (due to chemicals leaching from the plastic). We switched from Living Harvest (also available in glass) to this brand because of the cork top! The Living Harvest cap was a chintzy thin metal cap with plastic insert. It was difficult to open initially (because of the perforated metal security band), and always left little metal barbs. It also screeched when opened or closed. Never felt securely closed. By contrast, Nutiva uses a plastic security wrapper (with embedded plastic pull tab), and the cork top has an attached plastic knob for easy opening; no cork screw required, just twist and pull up slightly. Arthritic hands may need help opening (e.g. a wrench, or someone else), but once opened, the bottle can be easily closed *without* inserting the cork all the way back down. I only insert the cork about halfway; it seals fine and opens most easily. As with all hemp oil, it should be stored in the refrigerator, but doesn't turn solid. Hemp oil has a nearly perfect ratio of Omega 6-3. We use it on top of pasta, salads, etc. Hemp oil should not be used for cooking. We cook with olive oil.

Simply Perfect!
Posted by Reviewer1160697 on Aug 07, 2009
The best oil we've tried by far! Hemp oil does not lend color or flavor to baked food, even though the oil has a nice green color and grassy smell. What a great design for a bottle, too! The oil stayed nice and fresh in its dark, corked bottle, and we kept it in the fridge. Will definitely order again!

We can't be thankful for everything, right? So sailing fully against the spirit of the holiday, here are five things I didn't appreciate from the soon-to-be-concluded tennis season.
1. Serena Williams' foot: As strange as the story of her injury was, I have no concrete reason not to believe it. Therefore I have no good reason to blame her for playing only six tournaments in 2010. But it was still weird and depressing to see her disappear after such a mighty performance at Wimbledon.
2. Nikolay Davydenko: He started the year as an Australian Open contender and ended it a forgotten man. I don't care that he failed again at the majors, but he couldn't even get it together for the big-money, low-prestige fall season, which is usually his time to shine.
3. WTA Injuries: This story reminds me of the Williams sisters' perpetual absence from Indian Wells. When the WTA made the tournament mandatory in 2009 and they still skipped it, there was nothing much left to say. Now that the tour has shortened the season and lightened the workload of its top players, and still watched helplessly as they fell to injury and illness and exhaustion, there doesn't seem to be a lot more to say. Nothing is going to help. Not that that makes it any better.
4. The Goat Debate: I used to enjoy a good round of nonsensical, hypothetical, cross-era, legend comparing. But this year we jumped the ... Goat. It used to be a Sampras versus Federer argument, which made a kind of sense. Now it's Federer versus Nadal, which, as Nadal himself has said, makes no kind of sense whatsoever. At 16 Slams to nine, and 29 years old to 24, it's just too early to bring it up. Let the Goat get some well-deserved rest for a few years.
5. Complaints from Federer fans that the media is writing him off: I've heard this lament many more times than I've heard a tennis journalist or commentator actually declare that Federer is done. Yes, you might get a talking head saying something along these lines, but he's not a tennis guy. From what I can tell, most people involved in the sport have noted that Federer was not as dominant this season without predicting his immediate demise. How could anyone make that claim anyway, considering the way he has ended the season?

Country Fun: The Old Days

Nowadays it is not uncommon for each member of the family down on the farm to have his or her own transportation by age sixteen. Televisions and entertainment centers have become part of the furniture of every family farm home. Nothing is denied in the way of recreation. If your car battery is dead, or there is nothing interesting on TV, or if you don't have the latest CD or DVD by your favorite star, you can call your friends on your cell phone or get together with them on the Facebook chat line.
In the old days, country folk were a breed apart. Country living was no picnic, but don't kid yourself, country people had fun. Party time down on the farm included listening to the radio (if you had one), peanut boilings, candy pullings, square dances, and much more. Someone was always having a party. Having no other transportation, young people would often walk several miles to a party. If someone in the community had a truck or a car he could quickly load it to capacity with party goers.
If you were one of the few who possessed a radio, you were guaranteed a lot of friends especially on Saturday night. When I was young, the favorite attractions on the radio at our house were the Grand Ole Opry and speeches by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Either event was an occasion for a fun get-together.
Some were fortunate enough to own a record player. Still in our family is an antique graphaphone. The wind-up, spring operated record player was the "stereo" of the day. Rarely heard now, the popular tunes of that day resounded in the night to thrill party goers. Somebody might even get up and dance a little jig while the adults raised the time-honored question, "What's the younger generation coming to"?
Today, some country churches are hard pressed for someone to play the piano. In the old days, there were musicians aplenty. The home was a favorite gathering place for music lovers. There were pianists, organists, guitarists, fiddle players (uptown they call them violinists), harmonica blowers, and a variety of others. It was not uncommon for a community to have at least one person who could teach music. In almost every home there was at least one musical instrument. The first thing I remember my brother scolding me about was his guitar. He caught me strumming on it without his permission.
Near us lived the Dee Kight family. They were about as good musicians as they come. A big family, they provided music and entertainment for parties and they were in great demand. My sister remembers that every member of the family either sang or played at least one musical instrument. Yodeling seems to be a lost art these days, but in those days anyone who could yodel was high on the popularity list at any party.
One of the best yodelers I have ever heard (and I've been to Switzerland where yodeling was invented) was a down-home country boy by the name of J.T. O'Neal. J. T. walked almost everywhere he went and yodeled all the time. You could hear him yodeling in the woods two miles away. If J. T. had tried out for the Grand Ole Opry, he would have become famous.
Peanut boilings were favorite attractions for young and old alike. They were often so well attended that it took a big wash pot full of peanuts to feed the crowd. The peanut boiling was an outdoor party, usually at night. The get-together provided incentives to the young to contrive games to pair couples up. It was permissible to hold hands and go for a stroll in the moonlight, provided you didn't stroll too far and stay too long.
Almost any occasion that brought people together could be construed as an excuse for a shindig. Cane grinding time was a favorite time for candy pullings. Quilting parties were among the top ten on the social hit parade. It took all hands and the cook to shell enough peanuts for spring planting. The "peanut shellings" often led to a frolic.
Well, country folks have gone uptown now and gone are the days when country fun had a different twist from city fun. But the next time that you are out for a drive in the country and see an old house deserted and falling down, stop, walk quietly up to it and listen intently for a few minutes. You may hear the sound of music and laughter. You may even hear Uncle Dave Macon from the Grand Ole Opry, or the Ole Blue Yodeler, or President Roosevelt doing a fireside chat on an old battery-powered Philco radio. Don't tell anyone though; it may be a private party.

My brothers took the decision, after my father's death, to divide the family land between themselves and leave me out. So I wrote a letter to my brothers saying that I wanted to take an equal share of the land. But they didn't reply. After some time I gave them a legal notice and then filed a case in court under the provisions of the inheritance law. This case was filed in 1994 and it took around 5 years for the court to decide in my favour and send a notice to the village council. My brothers defied the court's decision with the connivance of the patriarchal village council. I then phoned the secretary to the Chief Minister in Bhopal giving details of my land case and he ordered the magistrate who had decided the case to see that the land was given to me. In this process I was alone and it was a difficult time as I could not share my problems with any body because every one was opposing me. After one week the magistrate and the village council members gathered in the village and called my brothers and told them that if they obstructed the division of land then the police would take them into custody. We went to our land and I got my share in the presence of the officials and police. This was the first time that a woman in my community had fought and got a share of the ancestral land.
Take action! This post was submitted in response to My Story: Getting Started .
Wow Gunu- this story is a very powerful one. Thank you for sharing it with us! It is amazing when a woman takes on an entire patriarchal structure and especially so when she wins.
Can you tell us more about the land? What was the land like as a child growing up? What did the land look like? What did it mean to you? What memories did it hold?
Thank you again for sharing. I look forward to reading more.
Much Peace, Sharese
You remind me so much of my grandmother who did exactly what you have done two generations ago in China. She was also left out of the inheritance of her father's land but in her case, she was the only child and the uncles wanted to seize the land for themselves. At the age of 16, my grandmother took the uncles to court and won her right to the land, just as you did. I am so incredibly proud of you for standing up against everyone, especially when no-one stood beside you in support. It is voices like yours that we so desperately need to hear, voices that stand up for what they believe and serve as role models for those who have been repressed or oppressed into silence.
Congratulations and I hope you enjoy your land for many years to come.
Reading this, I sense a strength that I could only hope I would have in this situation. I am thankful for women like you who stand strong, making roads where there are none for others to follow. Your story will encourage other women to stand up for their rights, in whatever situation they are in.
Thank you so much for sharing it here.
WOW! I am so proud of your brave and corageous move. Women like you make the world better!
The second step is to encourage, help, and support other women in your community to reclaim their rights.
I too am in the process of reclaiming my and my children's human and civil rights as well as my economic assets stolen from me by my husband and his society. But, whether I win or lose, is of second importance. What is important, is that I stood up to age old traditions and norms of subjugation and domination.
My case, as does yours, so clearly demonstrate that laws, constitutions, and human rights accords mean nothing unless they are upheld and enforced by judicial and executive branches.

You stuck with it to do something no one else had. Now other women will be coming to you to tell their stories- you're the one who has started the tradition of women owning land!
Thank you all so much for appreciating my struggles. The land is so little that it cannot provide a livelihood for me. That is why even when my father was alive I began working as a creche worker. After that I became a social activist and have since worked for the rights of Bhil indigenous women. I have also studied along with my work and done my graduation, post graduation and am now doing my MPhil all in social work. Patriarchy is deep set in Indian society so it is a continuous struggle for me to establish the dignity of women.

From Buddy Rich, John Coltrane and The Beatles to Led Zeppelin, David Bowie and Nirvana, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that the music world would be a lot different today if it wasn't for these musical geniuses. Thankfully, many of these artists have had their most legendary concerts (as well as their lives off the stage) documented on camera. In fact, this section is filled with a seemingly endless range of video documentaries and performances to move and inspire you as both a musician and music lover.
So with that in mind, are you interested in watching a band on stage at the peak of their powers, or do you want to learn more about the performers' personal lives? You'll find plenty of DVDs for both here - in fact, IMV's Behind the Player Series includes documentaries on Shannon Larkin, George Lynch and Ace Frehley. Each of these DVDs include in-depth lessons of songs from each rock star, and also behind-the-scenes looks at their careers. The IMV Behind the Player DVDs are well organized, thought provoking and simply must-haves for any fan of the aforementioned musicians.
Now, if it's an unforgettable concert moment that you're after, take a look at the many titles available from Hal Leonard. To name a few, there's the Buddy Rich Live in '78 DVD; the Led Zeppelin Good Times, Bad Times 2 DVD Set and the Metalmania 2008 Live Concert DVD. Hudson Music is another music education company that's respected for their video documentaries and performances. Need some suggestions? Check out their Neil Peart: Anatomy of a Drum Solo (2-DVD Set) or the Super Classic Jazz Trio DVD Pack.
The world has been introduced to countless talented musical artists and groups over the past century, and learning more about what made these performers special only enhances the experience of listening to their music. Along with the DVDs mentioned, there are many other video documentaries and performances here as well, so don't feel like you have to settle for just one. Whether you're interested in studying the style of an influential icon or simply want to broaden your knowledge of pop culture, you're definitely in the right place.

Selma has treasures to discoverPublished 10:26pm Friday, January 18, 2013
The past few weeks I have spent my time deep in Selma's history learning things I will soon be able to share with our readers in the first edition of Selma The Magazine. Before I moved here, all I knew of Selma's history was its role in the civil rights movement.
Growing up, fourth grade was the year we learned about Alabama history and that was the first time I learned about or even heard the name Selma. I remember my teacher trying to explain Bloody Sunday and the march to Montgomery for the right to vote, but as a fourth grader far removed from Selma, those things had a hard time sinking in.
Living here however, is a different story. When you read a story or are researching bits of history that have to do with the place you live, history just sort of comes alive. I now know and understand the location and significance of the Edmund Pettus Bridge I learned about in school what seems like forever ago. I have also had the opportunity to interview a voting rights legend, Amelia Boynton Robinson at the National Voting Rights Museum. Let me tell you, when you hear a first hand account of history — not only is it more interesting and vivid than you remember it being in a classroom, but it's something real; it's something you'll never forget.
During these past few weeks I've been studying Selma's history in iron. I learned there is much more to Selma than what I learned in school, and since I'm discovering that history right here in town, I'm finding it to be so real and incredibly interesting. Whether it's something I read in a book at the public library or something a historian explains to me in an interview, I have the opportunity to walk or drive around town and see what or where they were talking about for myself.
How cool is that? Our city is chock-full of historical nuggets that are just waiting to be rediscovered and appreciated by new eyes.
If you are remotely interested in Selma's history at all, our public library has a whole section on Selma and Dallas County on the second floor and I encourage everyone to take advantage of those resources.
The names and places I read about in my research on Selma becoming a center of iron production during the Civil War are names that can still be seen around town.
For example, George Peacock, master founder and iron expert's name can be seen right on Water Avenue. Peacock, an Englishman who came to America in 1851 — 10 years before the start of the Civil War, came to Selma in 1863 to work as the superintendent of the Naval Foundry, which operated at the time as a cannon and large-caliber projectiles factory.
His name can be seen on a water drain cover outside of the Harmony Club on Water Avenue — Peacock Iron Works it reads, the same as it did when it was stamped there years ago. His name can also be seen outside of several fenced in graves in Live Oak Cemetery, and finding them felt like a scavenger hunt of history.
To read about someone and then to actually see their work and to touch and feel a product they are responsible for is truly history coming to life, and this is just one of many instances of seeing Selma's history come to life. I'm sure many of you have had a similar experience and know much more about Selma's hidden treasures of history than I do, but I hope you'll agree with me in that finding them and rediscovering those little nuggets of history is truly something special.

Hello, alanfromgreensboro.
There could be a couple causes to this issue. The device could be out of space while recording video. Be sure to check "Available" under settings/general/about. If there is minimal space, then import all photos and videos to your computer then delete them from the device. The first article goes over how to process these steps. A restore as new might be needed if the issue persists. The second article goes over how to import all your data so it is not lost. The last article, covers how to restore and setup as new.

Fathers are usually proud of their sons' achievements, but that is not the case with the orthodox scholar patriarch of the Israeli film "Footnote." His son's success adds another layer of envy and resentment to a lifelong grudge, and he hates when that happens. He has regarded his son and other prominent scholars as a bunch of superficial philistines who merely happen to be more popular than him, but he cannot help but envy their academic positions, and he desperately hopes for recognition as he stubbornly and solitarily sticks to his own uncompromising research methods deep in the library.
Marie writes: Did you know that the world's steepest roller-coaster is the Takabisha, which opened earlier this year at the Fuji-Q Highland Amusement Park in Yamanash, Japan? The ride lasts just 112 seconds but is packed with exciting features including seven twists, blackened tunnels and a 43m-high peak. But the most impressive thing about Takabisha is the 121 degree free-fall, so steep that it's been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the steepest roller-coaster made from steel!

It's Friday the 13th in Cannes, and that has got to mean something good. An overcast sky threatening rain means that there couldn't be a more perfect day to stay inside and watch movies.

Subjects he has often lampooned include leftist politics, psychoanalysis, water-polo, and the cinema itself.

After a few rounds of voting, the winner is revealed to be a candidate who was not even in the running, a stunned Cardinal Melville (surely Moretti's tip of the hat to iconic French director Jean-Pierre Melville), played by veteran French star Michel Piccoli.
