Skip to comments.The Soviet Story - a must-see for all students of history.
Posted on 03/12/2014 9:36:42 AM PDT by Voice of Reason88
If you want to know the back story of the Ukrainian revolution, The Soviet Story tells exactly what happened to Ukraine during the Soviet era - and a lot more.
It's the best educational film on the nature of communism, which should be shown to all high school students in America to immunize them against the lure of the "great" utopia. However, I doubt most teachers will do so in today's political climate.
This 2008 documentary tells the story of the anti-human ideology the way I see it myself. That was rather surprising, because in today's "progressive" media climate, such views are an anathema.
We definitely need a climate change!
That the author of this film and I share the same views is not a coincidence. Edvīns nore is a fellow ex-Soviet - a Latvian director who did a great job documenting the evils of communism with the support of some of his European colleagues.
The Soviet Story starts with a question I also raised many times: while the swastika is universally recognized as a symbol of evil and hate, why does the hammer-and-sickle emblem, which is just as bad, get a free pass? The answer apparently lies in the fact that there has never been a version of the Nuremberg Trial for communism, which still has a lot of sympathizers in high places of power around the world, including the United States.
When this film came out, one of our Cubists posted a trailer and a link to the DVD. Today the full movie can be seen online on YouTube and other video sites. While the English-language narrative is excellent, I was unable to find a version with English subtitles for occasional foreign-language segments, which make only about 5% of the movie. Those who would like to get the full 100% will have to buy the DVD, after all.

Both were on the left, despite what the national socialist left in this country would like to deny.
The one hour and 24 minute version was refusing to work today so I'll start with part one and go on up.
By the way, I have BACKSTAGE AT THE KIROV which was produced by Armand Hammer. Of course the beauty of Russian ballet precedes communism but in the film the ballerinas are seen on stage, backstage, practicing in the studio, and on the wide streets of Leningrad but not in their apartments and not shopping. That would have been difficult to show without their situation looking quite poor compared to the West.

Thanks, I'll be checking this out tonight..

Captions work, you just need to turn on the translate captions option.
That reminds of an old soviet union joke: An American was showing his friend from the USSR his home. Going through the living room, dinning room, kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms.
His soviet friend said that in Russia they have the very same thing only its all one room.
Oh, I didnt realize that how do you do that?

Thank You you learn something new every day!
Yes, but were trying to stop the real life version - this is one movie that DOES NOT need a Sequel.
BTW, keep in mind that Putin is a former? Chekist the same as the NKVD thugs mentioned in the film.
at 1:03:00 in there is a officer that looks an AWFUL lot like Obama....
One of the quotes I remember, paraphrasing: "In every country where socialism/communism is instituted, 10% of the population ends up getting killed, whether it's USSR, Poland, Nicaragua, Cuba or Venezuela" Current US population is 313.9 million (2012). That's 31.4 million Americans.
Why does America seem hell bent on rushing to socialism?
Why does America seem hell bent on rushing to socialism?
"2010 Director's Edition of Edvins Snore's award-winning documentary, now with subtitles in 30 languages. Tells the story of the Soviet regime and how the Soviet Union helped Nazi Germany instigate the Holocaust. Other topics covered by the film: - The Great Famine in Ukraine (1932/33) - The Katyn massacre (1940) - The SS-KGB partnership - French Communists and the Nazis - Soviet mass deportations - Medical experiments in the GULAG. The Soviet Story was filmed over 2 years in Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Germany, France, UK and Belgium. The film includes recently uncovered archive documents and interviews with former Soviet Military intelligence officials. As a result, The Soviet Story presents a truly unique insight into recent Soviet history, told by people, once Soviet citizens, who have first-hand knowledge of it. The Soviet Story also discusses the impact of the Soviet legacy on modern day Europe. Listen to experts and European MPs discussing the implications of a selective attitude towards mass murder; and meet a woman describing the burial of her new born son in a GULAG concentration camp. The Soviet Story is a story of pain, injustice and realpolitik."
"I knew a lot about the Soviet regime (I grew up in a Communist country). Still, this movie is shocking and, as far as I know, genuine and based on facts, documents, and eyewitness reports. Naked, although shocking and thought-provoking truth. People interviewed in the movie are not some obscure conspiracy theorist -- they are known experts in history, international politics, and Soviet dealings (Davies, Sokolov, Bukovsky, or formed Soviet spy, now writer, Suvorov). The movie summarizes what is known about Nazi German atrocities along with Soviet Russian atrocities, what is known about the plan (followed by actions, such as Soviet invasions of Poland, Baltic republics, and Finland) of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia to divide Europe, and also not widely known facts about collaboration between Gestapo and NKVD in the early years of the WWII, that resulted, for example, in shipping Jews who escaped the Nazis back to German-occupied territories, where most of them perished. One of the main points of the documentary is that Germany had a chance to reform, sanitize its leadership from the Nazis. Russia has never prosecuted communist crimes against humanity. German Nazis have been chased all over the World and brought to justice. Russian communist perpetrators of crimes against humanity are enjoying protection of not only Russia but also, indirectly, former WWII allies. I keep being amazed by the naïveté of the Western European and World leaders when watching the political dealings with Russia. This movie is an absolute must for anybody interested in history and politics."
Yeah, 'the elites' from various disciplines think they'll be part of 'the new order.' Little do they know, they'll be the first to die. Does the MSM know this as they tout their Messiah?
Why does America seem hell bent on rushing to socialism?
Two possibilities:
One many have forgotten the vestiges of its organized evil.
Two The left with its socialist national agenda is now outright lying about who they really are.
I feel most sorry for those who escaped socialist nations only to have to deal with it here.
Reminds of a lady I knew in 96 who recently moved from Poland. She railed on after Clinton was reelected, "Why would you people vote for a socialist?" She went on and on about it and how life was in communist Poland. She described "toilet paper day" when they got in a supply of toilet paper and every family member could get one roll and you gathered up all the extended family, stood in line a long time and 'stocked up' on TP. .
Of course, the way the left does it is to simply LIE about their true ideology.
It should gather a considerable amount of suspicion a group that has to incessantly changed its labeling so much.
My 18 year old niece falls for all the left wing propaganda and thinks we consider the USSR evil because it allowed abortion. She is at UT-Austin learning all about white privilege and all sorts of other hogwash.
Friends of ours had a son who came home from college spouting all sorts of liberal crap.
When he was heading out socially Saturday night he asked what car he could take.
They said,"None-—capitalism bought those cars,take your bike."
They stuck to their guns for his entire vacation.
My Polish neighbors tell me about the "blanket drives" they were forced to participate in.
Give blankets for the poor American children living on the streets.
And our "Great ObamaNation" has ordered enough pistol bullets to kill all our citizens many times over.

Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
Interesting example (I thought) of a manager's words seeming to change according to their context. In this case the different contexts are provided by Patrick Mooney and Carrie Muskat.
Apparently Sveum said something recently about Soriano's tendency to stand at the plate after hitting a warning-track fly. Here is an account in CSNChicago.com:
The diehards at the Cubs Convention loved it when Sveum answered one fan question by saying that you might have to bench guys who embarrass the organization.
Sveum seems to have a more realistic view of Soriano. Sveum remembers Bill Hall watching a few balls that didn't go out with the Milwaukee Brewers.
"It wasn't that (Hall) didn't play hard," Sveum said. "They feel bad (afterward). That's a natural major-league habit. It's very hard to hit fly balls that are almost home runs, or you think might be a home run, and sprint to first base.
"Sure, you want that to happen, but some of those things (are) actually hard to break in the heat of a battle. It's the other things: We want to be able to run balls out to the left side of the field. We want to be able to stretch singles into doubles, take hard turns (and) run the bases really hard.
"I know the fans don't like that, but sometimes they have to understand that's a habit."
Today, Muskat gives the same answer (with modifications) as a response to a different question, why Soriano sometimes doesn't chase down fly balls.
Another criticism is Soriano's defensive play. He has a tendency to watch balls as they go past him in the outfield.
"I've seen people do it before," Sveum said. "Billy Hall had a habit of doing it, too, in Milwaukee. It wasn't that he didn't play hard, but it was almost a habit. Then they feel bad after they do it, but unfortunately it's a weird habit some people have. Deep fly balls, as hitters, you're like, 'Oh, man, I think I got it, I think I got it,' so you didn't run as hard as you should have."
Bad habits are hard to break.
"You talk about it, and hopefully in that spur of the moment, he thinks about something I said," Sveum said. "A lot of things are tougher than just talking about."
Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
Harmon Killerbrew's legacy lives on.
Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
i think we've already established long ago that Carrie Muskat has absolutely no idea what she's doing.
Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
Well played.
Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
I would note that is has nothing to do with her gender. It has to do with her competence.
Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
Did someone imply that it had something to do with her gender? Or did you infer that's what they meant because they kept calling her a "she"? Who's really the sexist here? And how do you feel about segregation and Ian Stewart's swing plane?
Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
Just responding to the voices in my head. I often do that out loud on the train. It keeps people from sitting next to me. Especially when I discuss Ian Stewart's swing plane with myself.
Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
Go Banana!
Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
If LaHair is killing it, Theo Corp had better be selling higher than Tim Allen at the deadline.
I know I just argued that Jackson shouldn't open the season in Chicago, but on the flip side, if Rizzo is still in AAA in August, Theo's grade for Year 1 couldn't possibly be good and will in fact probably be quite bad. "The plan" is clearly Rizzo at 1B, and frankly, they'd better be right.
Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
Or ELSE!!!
Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
The real tricky part is if LaHair is killing it then they trade LaHair, bring up Rizzo, then Rizzo stinks and LaHair keeps killing it for his new team.
Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
Naw. The plan would be to ditch Soriano then shove LaHair over to LF.
Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
if anyone wants a major buzzkill check out the videos of this "bunting contest."
they're lobbing balls barely strong enough to get proper BP out of it with many seconds for the batter to find the ball.
in a way, that may be harder for some since a lot of the balls are arching in from lack of velocity.
it seems more like a "fun" team building exercise rather than a skills exercise.
Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
No chin music during the early spring training bunting tournament? Truly unfathomable
Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
well, there's BP...and there's lobbing the ball in where the bunter can adjust his footwork a few times and move his hands up to unnatural/unsafe positions on the bat (kerry wood) because the ball is coming in less than 60mph.
that said, there is -nothing- wrong with a team building exercise (especially at the start of camp) and if it at least ties into some kind of useful skill...cool.
Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
There's nothing wrong with it, yet you came here to post that it's a buzzkill.
Re: Cubs Bunting Tourney Update and Other Notes
yet, there's more than a few of us that thought this exercise was at least BP-quality rather than a bunch of guys leaning against the cage practicing bad bunting form.
btw, some colleges use this as a legit drill.
Recent comments
"Like the Chapman deal for Cubs from on-field POV, wish I didn't now have to feel lousy following an otherwise likable Cubs team." @jonahkeri
pretty much sums up my feelings
You mean Yankees?
Cards lose!
You do have a point. The TheoJed certainly would need to address this in a transparent way. Milton Bradley was no help to the team.
FWIW, the Cubs would get a compensation draft pick between the 1st & 2nd rounds (around #35) if they extend a Qualifying Offer to Chapman post-2016 (probably about $17M), Chapman declines, and then he signs with another MLB club before next year's draft.
This all assumes Chapman doesn't want to be a free agent and possibly sign a $20MM+/year deal. We all know free agents get overpaid, sometimes dramatically (Hello, JayHey!). Not sure why Chapman would agree to the extension. If i'm is agent, I would tell him I could get I'm a $100M deal as a FA.
I'll root for the uniform and imagine it's left-handed Rod Beck or Randy Myers out there I suppose.
Amen to this. I guess it's gonna happen and I'm gonna have to suck it up but I really despise domestic abusers with every bone in my body and cannot stand them on any team I root for.
I just prefer they don't acquire players that choke their wives/girlfriends.
So you'd rather go with Blown Save guy, when you can trade a prospect who is blocked for one piece that could get you over the top to the Big Dance? That is pretty old thinking. This is not a move that they cannot recover from if it goes south. But the upside is potentially historic.
I'd prefer it not happen too.
it's a hell of a blockbuster, but it's for a guy who pitches 1/3rd of a season at an extreme premium considering the guy being traded and if the early extension $$$ rumors are true.
it's one of those things that is bringing a guy at the top his game, but something is nagging me that this trade piece could have been put to better use.
a huge part of me is all "hell yeah, top of the line producer"...another part of me is "hmm, that for that?"
Still don't want. Kinda hope they can't work out the extension.
obviously not, and I'm sure they did their homework...just hope they have some better answers than the Yankees
Chapman 12+ Career WAR. Currently 4.7:1 k-BB. With Rondon/Chapman/Strop/Nathan/Montgomery/Wood...Its the best pen I can recall other than Sutter or Lee Smith handling things themselves.
Its gonna suck if he gets injured, and it appears he's not the greatest of characters.
But, he'll have another Cuban to hang out with on the team.
I agree with the names you mention but there are lots of names being tossed around still and there's that small matter of Chapman agreeing to the extension.

The Night Sky July 2016
Compiled by Ian Morison
This page, updated monthly, will let you know some of the things that you can look out for in the night sky. It lists the phases of the Moon, where you will see the naked-eye planets and describes some of the prominent constellations in the night sky during the month.
Cambridge University Press has recently published two books by the author. An Amateurs Guide to Observing and Imaging the Heavens is a handbook aimed to bridge the gap between the beginner's books on amateur astronomy and the books which cover a single topic in great detail. Stephen James O'Meara and Damian Peach have both given it excellent reviews. 'A Journey through the Universe' covering our current understanding of the Universe (up to June last year) was published on the 25th of September. Martin Rees has written a very nice review of it.
Image of the Month
A closeup image of Pluto
Image: NASA, John Hopkins University
This is one of the highest resolution images of Pluto taken by New Horizons last year. In it are seen, icy, pitted plains (composed of nitrogen) adjacent to the rugged highlands known as Krun Macula which rise some 2.5 km above them. The dark red colour of the highlands is thought to arise from complex compounds called tholins which are a product of chemical reactions with methane in Pluto's atmosphere induced by ultraviolet light.

Natalie Imbruglia
Natalie Jane Imbruglia, 4 February 1975, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. One of 1998s surprise pop successes, Imbruglias first brush with stardom came in 1992 when she played Beth Brennan in the popular Australian soap opera Neighbours. She had originally started out as a singer, turning to acting later. Imbruglia spent two years on Neighbours, but after leaving struggled to find work in Australia. A move to England in 1996 offered little in the way of career progress, but she began turning her thoughts and experiences into songs. In 1997 she gained a recording contract with RCA Records in London, helped by her perceived affinity with the chart-topping feminine angst rock of Alanis Morissette and Meredith Brooks. Recorded in London with Phil Thornalley (ex-Cure) and Nigel Godrich (Radiohead), in Los Angeles with Mark Goldenberg (Eels), and in New York with Mark Plati (David Bowie, Deee-Lite), Left Of The Middle sold strongly on the back...

It seemed that all around me, January 25 was being subject to a burial, and that I would have to work backwards to understand what had happened before I could serve its cause.
"Where is the world?" This is a question we have seen Syrians scrawl upon crude placards in Homs and elsewhere. And while the diplomatic mission of Kofi Annan must be vigorously supported, the time has arrived to begin contemplating other measures.
The fact that, at the age of 25, Asma al-Assad made a decision to court and marry a man who was being groomed to be the next totalitarian dictator of Syria is a reflection of her character.
After many of years chaffing under the yoke of an oppressive regime, the downtrodden people of a backwards nation were empowered by social media and W...

Migraines & Headaches Health Center
Know Your Triggers
You can also manage your migraines -- and re-ignite romance -- by avoiding your things that bring your headaches on.
Common triggers include:
- Red wine
- Chocolate
- Strong smells like perfume and scented candles
- Bright light
- Changes in weather
Since some of these are staples of a romantic evening, you may need to rethink how you get in the mood. Skip the red wine or other booze right before sex, Monteith says. You might also keep music low, and ask your partner not to wear cologne or perfume.
Talk It Out
Communication is at the heart of sex, Monteith says. It's important to let your partner know how headaches affect every part of your life, including love-making.
You could take your spouse with you to doctor's appointments, or you could consider getting couples counseling.
"Sometimes it is valuable to get counseling because of the impact [migraines can have] on the relationship," Cohen says.

The Day I Stopped Being Pretty, chronicles the life of a young, black gay male who awakes and finds himself in the emergency room after a failed suicide attempt. After regaining consciousness, he begins to reflect on the events of his life that led him to attempting to take his life. His story is told in gritty and raw flashback, focusing on the men who shaped him into the man he has become, beginning with the first man he ever loved, his father.
His story addresses, the discovery of his burgeoning sexuality, his life filled with low-self esteem, which leads him to seek love in the arms of many to compensate for the love he never received from his father. During the course of his life, we see his battle with substance abuse, physical abuse and sexual activities that lead to his eventual HIV diagnosis.
After he shares the path that led him to his own self-destruction, he realizes in the face of death, the love that he has sought in many others, has always been in the one place he never looked, within himself.
This raw and gritty story spans twenty-seven years of the lead character, as he faces racism, homophobia, rape and coping with being HIV positive. It is a story that shows the face of growing up black, living gay and loving positive. The Day I Stopped Being Pretty is one that shows triumph over adversity and the ability to find the love we all search for, self love.

The Day I stopped Being Pretty by Rodney Lofton is a story that has gone untold for far too long. Too revealing, too graphic...some may say. Even my mouth dropped several times throughout the day it took me to complete the book. Nevertheless, it is a story that I needed to hear, that WE as a society need to hear. The Day I Stopped Being Pretty is Rodney Lofton's memoirs, which intimately takes the reader through the trials, tribulations and ultimate triumph(his survival) in his life. From a young boy being told all his existence that he is pretty, to a young man made to feel that being pretty is a "bad thing", Rodney Lofton gives us a front row seat with 3-D glasses into his life. A life with a loving single mother and a physically and emotionally detatched father...Rodney is left to figure out manhood,life and love on his own. Rodney Lofton vividly illustrates to the reader his experiences from discovering his own body to discovering his sexuality and ultimately discovering his HIV status. Through the tales of his many sordid relationships and experiences that take him on a manhunt to find success and love, Rodney ultimately finds the love he's been seeking all along and it comes from the one who has been there with him all along...Unfortunatley, he didn't come to this revelation until he awakened in a hospital bed after attempting to end his life. Rodney Lofton's extended lease on life is a gift not only to him but to all who have been and will be fortunate enough to experience the raw,unadulterated and necessary tale that is Rodney's LIFE. Rodney's life was spared so that the story of his life could spare others from traveling down the same dark road. He is our detour and I hope all will take it. The Day I stopped Being Pretty is a MUST READ for ALL....Black, White, Gay, Straight. There's a lesson for all to learn.
I was looking forward to reading this novel based on the reviews and I was very disappointed. This books, though quite raw and in your face, did nothing for me. The protagonist does not grow at all, it ends with another failed suicide attempt and you're taken on this rollercoaster of a journey, and he leaves you with "I have to love myself before anyone can love me?" (Yes, I'm paraphrasing). I thought it was rather shallow and typical of a Black gay novel. I prefer E.L. Harris over this one, especially if you're looking for depth, growth, and meaning. Realizing this is a memoir, I have to keep that in perspective, but it was a bunch a failed sexual encounters and relationships that to some degree we can identify with. The promiscuity and unprotected sex despite knowing his status dumbfounded me.
The second half of the book my entire mindset was, "You gotta be kidding me?!? Are people really this careless with their lives?" Maybe this is why some people love the book because it's real. Although that may be true, it's not growthful. At times it feels more like porn mixed with bad self esteem meets drugs and trashy guys. While I appreciate the honesty, I really missed the overall point.
When I read this book I went through a wave of emotions. Rodney Lofton will make you laugh,cry,hate,and love him till the end.
Rodney is one of my myspace buddies. He posted a teaser of the 1st Chapter of his book on his page. I was hooked and had to read the rest. After purchasing the book, I wanted to read a chapter a day to savor the story, but I couldn't put it down. His life literally jumped from the pages and included you down his journey of self revelation. Parts of his experience may offend or even repulse some, but trust me you'll get a nugget or two of truth and perhaps see yourself in his story. It's an inviting and embracing read, you won't put it down.
Rodney Lofton's memoir, THE DAY I STOPPED BEING PRETTY was what I have been waiting to read all my life. Poignant, real, sad, funny, I could not put it down. It made me laugh and cry because it is the story of anyone who is gay, black, HIV+, and craves acceptance from family and friends.
Being held hostage is terrible, not only literally but also emotionally, that is what Rodney went through. The torment of his capturer in Washington DC and the emotional confinement of yearning for his fathers love and the love of others. This book is a very candid look at the life of man with a heart of gold, from a tender kind boy, to a young man growing and materializing into his sexuality and then to a man smacked with a life threatening illness. Ultimately, Rodney experienced a revelation that provided him a strong sense of self. Along Rodney's journey, his mother was there for every step never faltering on the love of her child. Growth, mistakes, experiences are daily challenges for all of us and is in Rodney's work. While reading this book there were sentiments and similarities that connected with everyday life. As I read, there were times I was utterly shocked at what I was reading then there were moments of uncontrollable sorrow for all that he was going through. This book is a 'Good Read' it will take you on an emotional rollercoaster¿believe me it will be a ride you will ENJOYED! We have all heard the sayings 'Pretty as a Peach', 'Beauty is only Skin Deep', 'Beauty is Within', 'Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder' etc. Well now there is one more to add to the list and that is The Day I Stopped Being Pretty!' Rodney has taught me that with compassion, love, faith and family you do not need to be pretty, but it is good that he is.
'The Day I Stopped Being Pretty' is thought provoking, real, and encouraging. I truly enjoyed this book because it speaks to you wherever you are in life. This book encourages to get a grip and live life to the fullest. If you are gay, especially gay and black, you should read this book.
Rodney Loften has trully revieled the realness of being a black SGL man dealing with relevant issues that society calls tabboo. I highly reccommend this piece work be apart of everyones library. 'When truth is revieled, real healing can finally began.'
Rodney Lofton 'The Day I stopped Being Pretty' captures the attention from the very first page, his written words speaks volumes and allow the reader a front row seat into the mind and soul of a man on a journey of self discovery and soul preservation, the openeness in which he tells his story leaves the reader at times speechless and drained from the tears that are sure to come. This book is so raw and honest that It makes the reader take a real look at their own lives,loves and immortality. A Truely Great and Inspiring Read!
Rodney Lofton scores points for opening his life's story to readers in this memoir. His incredible recollection of some very difficult life's experiences draws the readers into his world. One cannot help but feel the pain of a son wanting the acceptance of his father while simultaneously coping with his evolving homosexuality. Lofton does not sugar coat his own part in a life that was somewhat self-destructive. He describes broken relationships and drug assisted sexual encounters to illustrate the depths to which an individual can be pushed or pulled. I applaud his work and look forward to the continued story. I am sure there is much that is yet to be told.
From page one this books grabs you, holds you and won't allow you to leave it alone. I am an avid reader, living in NYC, and this book was more than what I expected. I got this book the week I found out I was HIV positive and it has been my crutch. I made me laugh, cry and think. Mr. Lofton was open, honest and raw in his writing. He didn't sugar-coat anything to make it seem all rosey red. He took you on a journey of his life so that you can see that LOVE and PAIN sometimes run in the same race. I suggest you sit back and get ready for a ride you won't soon forget. This is a book that you will not want to end.
Rodney Lofton obviously knows how to capture and hold the attention of his audience. His chosen writing style makes it evident that he is no novice when it comes to putting pen to paper. While I did find that the book was very risqué...I feel that Mr. Lofton had a need to purge his soul. This purging, in my opinion, is what provides his strength to go forward and heal others. As I've shared with the author, the portion of the book that will be most healing to others is 'Parting Thoughts'. We as imperfect people need to see that someone else has made it through a 'real' struggle. This in turn will give us strength and courage to endure and have faith that we ARE able to overcome our circumstances. As a Licensed Practical Nurse, I've worked in various Virginia Juvenile Correctional Facilities. Unfortunately, an increasing number of that population is engaging in unprotected sexual activities while incarcerated. This book is too graphic and will not meet library guidelines. My hope is that Mr. Lofton will author a book educating on safe homosexual practices, abstinence and living with HIV that is geared towards children between the ages of 11 and 18. I have a personal mission that entails purchasing books specifically authored by, but not limited to, minority writers and donating them to the Virginia Juvenile Correctional System. I have thus far donated over 100 books on various subjects. I would be honored to include Rodney Lofton's 'age appropriate' book to that donation drive. Much love...Much success!
This is an excellent book that I would recommend for anyone to read. Rodney takes you on a journey that makes you feel as if you are traveling right next to him.
Rodney Lofton hits home in his memoir 'The Day I Stopped Being Pretty'. Rodney opens up and shows the reader his vulnerable side battling the issues of a stable male figure, love of family, and of self. Incredibly personal, Rodney manages to capture the readers attention from his powerful opening lines until his realization that he's what he's been missing all along. This book is a must read for readers of all ages, races, and orientations.
If you do not read another book this year, please read this one. The Author shares a part of his life all young men need to read! This book will touch your heart and soul in every way. A must read!!!!
Just when i thought there was nothing else left worth reading here comes rodney lofton to save the day! i couldn't put it down. He has such a way with words that you feel like you're getting a front w seat to the jorney of his life. It's crazy but his words made me feel like i've known him all my life i cried and laughed with him.If you never read another book make sure you read this one!!!
This is most definitely a piece of work that should be read by all. Rodney Lofton takes you into his world from his first sexual experience to his dreaded return home. You can feel his emotions. The emotions felt are the same we all can relate to, regardless of our sexuality. I can really appreciate the way this book was written. This book is touching even with the rawness of some scenes.
I want to say ' Ditto ' to the 8 previews before me. And to those who haven't read this book yet ... Read it!! This has been the best Memoir I've read to date. Deborah
I had the honorable pleasure to buy and finish reading Rodney Lofton's The Day I Stopped Being Pretty in the same week and it was very uplifting and thought-provoking. I couldn't put his book since I can relate to most of his challenges. He opened my mind and eyes about the power of forgiving past hurt and moving forward which is very difficult for me. Interestingly enough he and I shared the same birthday and we do tend to be UPFRONT and STR8FORWARD about dealing with society in general. There are many individuals in the lifestyle who had gone through, are going through, and will go through the same emotional cycle that Rodney had. I am looking forward to support his future projects. I highly recommend ALL young males to read this memoir!!!

Grandparenting when your 19 year old son becomes a father,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Some Assembly Required: A Journal of My Son's First Son (Hardcover)
As both a parent and grandparent- to-be, I couldn't resist ordering this one. To my surprise, it arrived a day earlier than expected and I put everything aside to read it immediately.
Written in daily and dated journal form, author Anne Lamott and her son not only write about the transformation a grandchild brings but also reveal the turbulence experienced by very young parents. When grandchild Jax arrived into the world, Lamott's son Sam was 19 and his girlfriend Amy was 20. Their relationship was bumpy even before the baby came.
So of course the bumpiness and stress continues while caring for a new baby, especially since Sam is juggling school and fatherhood and Amy can feel overwhelmed. But there are pleasures as well, watching Jax change and grow. The book is more than just a portrayal of young parents and their challenges
It is also an honest, even painfully honest, admission of the unique feelings that come with grandparenting. Based on Lamott's experiences, these feelings can be profoundly different than parenting one's own child...with some overlap, of course. She becomes upset and even territorial about decisions affecting Jax, including such events as where he will be baptized.
Because I was drawn to this book due to the impending arrival of a grandchild, I don't know if I can be anything close to objective about this memoir. I can step back enough to see how the day to day descriptions of a baby's tiniest changes might not make for enthralling reading by all. But I was swept up by the book.
I was intrigued by a letter Lamott wrote to her grandson on the Secret of Life. On another day she "interviews" her son about his grandmother as well as how his identity has been affected by parenthood.
Those familiar with Lamott's writing may recall that she wrote a book about being a single young mother while raising her son. That book was Operating Instructions. Sam came to love that work, seeing it as a gift.
So naturally he wanted Jax to have his own chronicle of his first year of life. The result is Some Assembly Required and it creates a sense of life coming full circle, from mother to son to grandchild and also from son to child.
The book has inspired me to think about how I can honor my own grandchild's first year and it could do the same for other readers. As in her other works, Lamott weaves her spiritual insights and challenges throughout Some Assembly Required and this could be motivation enough for those familiar with the author's writing to purchase this book.

Each month, ESPN RISE finds the numbers to note around the country. Here are September's Digits from the greater Boston area:
1,009 / 1,001: Rushing and passing yards compiled by
Georgetown quarterback Joe Esposito
last year. He ran for 18 TDs and
passed for nine scores, and the senior
already owns the school's all-time
passing record (2,728 yards).
6: Shutouts recorded by Westford girls'
soccer goalie A.J. Millet last season.
The half-dozen brought her career
total to 24 entering her senior year,
and her career GAA is 0.85.
1: Runners that finished ahead of
Brookline senior David Wilson at the
Division 1 and All-State cross country
meets last year. He finished second to
graduated teammate Robert Gibson
at both events.
