Skip to comments.Ground Zero imam: 'We have more of a right to Moses'
Posted on 01/21/2011 9:43:26 PM PST by Immerito
Muslims have "more of a right" than Jews to the biblical prophet Moses, declared the imam who has become the new face of the proposed Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero in New York City.
Imam Abdallah Adhami also urged Muslims to "compete" with other religions.
"We must be doing it first, we must compete with you to be doing more of that. We want to fast Ashura too, because that's the day God saved Moses; that is certainly a day to be celebrated. We have more right to Moses," stated Adhami in a 2008 lecture obtained and reviewed by WND.
Ashura is an Islamic fast day that commemorates Muslim events, including the Islamic claim that Moses fasted on that day to express gratitude to God for liberating the Israelites from Egypt.
In his lecture, Adhami recounted the Islamic story of the Muslim figure Muhammad arriving in Medina, where he encountered Jews who fasted on Ashura and asked them why they were celebrating the holiday.
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
Why? Are Muslims related to the Egyptian princess?
So.....The Ten Commandments belong to the Koran????
Well, present it Abdallah Adhami.
They got the rights to Lower Manhattan. I guess that's settled.
Hmm, I never thought of rights as being quantitative. Of course, I don't like the idea of ownership (literally or figuratively) of another human being either. Islam, what a nice "religion." ;-/
Come and get him.
Remember though, Moses was a Jew.
I was doing surface stuff, you just get right to it. :^)
Will you stop inserting FACTS into the discussion, all they do is confuse, frustrate and anger the intellectually liberal. :-) ;-)
Next you'll be saying that Moses couldn't have possibly been Muslim because Islam wouldn't be invented for over 2000 years after he lived.
>> declared the imam
A false sense of superiority.
> Are Muslims related to the Egyptian princess?
Ishmael, forefather of all the Arabs, was the bastard son of Abraham and an Egyptian servant woman.
I don't think Hagar was Egyptian. Perhaps a Canaanite.
Can't we all just share Moses?
TROP hallucinatory violence only came to Egypt about 1500 years later. the imam is. at best, a buffoon..
Genesis 16:3 states she was Sarai's Egyptian servant.
Thank you. I stand corrected.
No, Moses was a pre-Muhammad Muslim, as was Abraham, doing Allah's work by evicting Da Joooozz from Egypt, to prepare the way for the Arabs to take it over about 2,500 years later, give or take a century or two.
As a bonus,it put Da Joooozz all in one place, making it easier for Allah, via the Arabs, to persecute them later. /sarc-parody
They will spout much the same, and worse, with a straight face; even the "fact" that Abraham BUILT their damned (literally) moon rock building (Kaaba), after taking Ishmael (not Issac) to be sacrificed (there, not at Mount Zion), as an alter of thanksgiving, after finding the black rock.
Well that explains why Moses aka Mosey was not allowed to enter the promised land.
They are getting bolder, and will continue so.
Why not? They know the west will lie down.
Most importantly, nobody in the west will care if they say islam rules the world
I will say, WND is always a questionable source at best, so we need another source.
"jealousy", sorry for the typo...
I didn't realize that Moses was a Muslim! /s
Genesis 16:1 Now Sarai Abrams wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
Get islam out of America. Now.
Ishmael, forefather of all the Arabs, was the bastard son of Abraham and an Egyptian servant woman.
I know this. That explains Arabs, but it does NOT explain Muslims. They are not one and the same.
Mohammedanism was started by an Arab, the pirate, mass murderer, pedophile, polygamist, rapist, torturer, liar, thief, truce-breaker, slave trader, merciless warrior, unspeakably cruel tyrant, Mohammed.
To this day, Mohammedanism teaches that Arabs are a race superior to all other races, Mohammedan or otherwise, and that those who are not Mohammedans are not even human, therefore it is ok to lie to them, rape them, torture them, and slaughter them like animals.
Mohammedanism was spread by the sword. Mohammed and his minions gave the peoples they conquered three choices: Convert to Mohammedanism, be sold into slavery, or be put to death in the most cruel ways the murderous tyrants could devise.
It was common for them to rape all the women and girls in front of their fathers, brothers, husbands, and children, then to put them to death in cruel ways before killing all the males with pubic hair in the most torturous ways. Sometimes they were merciful, as with the Jews in Medina, where, after raping all the women and children, they simply beheaded all the males having pubic hair, though some were tortured for sport.
The reason for the incredible hatred Mohammedans and Arabs in general have for the Jews goes back to the bastard child Ishmael. He was the firstborn of Abraham and claimed the birthright to the Promised Land. God had other plans, and Isaac was born of the union between Abraham and Sarah, even though Sarah was beyond child bearing years.
In Genesis 16, we read that Ishmael and his mother were sent away because of Ishmael's cruelty towards his younger half-brother, Isaac, who was the son of promise that God had promised to Abraham.
There is so much to this story, that I could write a dissertation.
The crux of the matter is that the hatred of Ishmael for Isaac, and Ishmael's illegitimate claim to the birthright of Isaac, the Promised Land, which was later called Israel, is the foundational reason for all the hatred and bitterness in the Middle East today.
Ishemael's descendents, through Mohammed, were able to enlist vast swathes of other ancestries to join them in their hatred of Israel through Mohammedanism, which was the codification of Ishamael's hatred for his younger half-brother and his illegitimate claim to the birthright given to Israel through Isaac by God Himself.
Mohammedanism is a Satanic cult. Satan knew that Messiah would descend from the Jews. Satan has always hated Israel and the tribe of Judah, from which Yahshua ha Meshiach descended, in particular.
Read Genesis chapter 16.
Read Revelation.
Read Amos, and Ezekiel, and Isaiah. You will see prophecies that Israel will be the stumbling block for the whole world, and that in the end times the whole world would come against her.
When Yahshua came, he established a relationship with the gentiles, and made a way for them to inherit His Kingdom. But He has never, and will never, forget His promises to Israel, and He will keep them.

Buying individual Illinois health insurance plans can be a bit of a challenge, especially if you've never had to go through this process before – especially after the Affordable Care Act was signed into law.
Yes, the ACA has definitely made some major improvements to the world of health insurance in the United States. But there are still a lot of unknowns that people have to navigate when they go to purchase their own individual health insurance that makes the process a little more complex and convoluted than most expected it to be.
Thankfully, with the information below, you should be able to navigate the health insurance marketplace without too much trouble. You'll be able to find the right plan at illinois-insurance.website for your needs (and your budget), all without having to deal with the headache and hassle that others contend with.
Let's dive in!
Make sure that you get in under the deadline and cutoff date
For starters, you should realize that the Health Insurance Marketplace for individuals is not open 24/7, 365 days a year.
No, you're only going to be able to purchase individual Illinois health insurance plans during the "Open Enrollment Period".
This year's open enrollment period was between November 15, 2015 and January 31, 2016, so you'll have to make sure that you move quickly to get your hands on a quality individual health insurance plan or you're going to have to wait until November – and go without coverage until you're able to sign up.
Always ask about possible subsidies that you can take advantage of
Secondly, you're going to want to make sure that you contact health insurance counselors (almost all major medical facilities and hospitals employ them and offer their services free of charge) to ask them about any potential subsidies you'll be able to take advantage of.
The ACA goes a long way towards helping people afford individual health insurance that they might not have been able to otherwise, and a lot of that is possible through the subsidies that they provide. Not everyone will qualify for these deals or discounts, but you'll want to figure out which ones you are eligible for so that you don't pay any more out-of-pocket than absolutely necessary.
Ref: https://illinois-insurance.website/health-insurance/shopping-individual-illinois-health-insurance-plans/
Move forward with the most valuable plan (not necessarily the cheapest)
Finally, it's important that you remember the clear distinction between the cheapest individual Illinois health insurance plans and the most valuable. There's no sense whatsoever in spending any money on insurance that you'll never use, so look for a valuable plan that may be slightly more expensive, but provide you with the coverage and peace of mind you deserve.

Detroit chief: More citizens should be armed
James Craig said time spent in LA and Maine where gun permits are more easily obtained made him realize that is why they are safer
Fox News
DETROIT — Detroit's police chief has a solution to help drive down crime in one of the nation's most dangerous cities: arm more citizens.
James Craig made the comments at a police press conference Thursday, when he announced a 7 percent drop in violent crime in 2013, The Detroit News reported. Although urban police typically favor gun control, Craig said his views evolved after working in Los Angeles and Maine, where concealed weapons permits are more easily obtained.
"I changed my orientation real quick," Craig said. "Maine is one of the safest places in America. Clearly, suspects knew that good Americans were armed."
Thursday's comments echo statements Craig has made in the past, including those he made last month, when he said responsible citizens who carry concealed pistol licenses "translates into crime reduction."

Research Interests
Our laboratory has three main areas of research: custom instrumentation for Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry (FTMS), Nuclear Signaling and Natural Products. More specifically, our main interests lie in the enzymology of natural product biosynthesis, mass spectrometric-based studies of the "Histone Code," and development of Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry (FTMS) for Top Down Proteomics (i.e. analyzing intact proteins directly; no proteases).
A core activity is measuring chemical modifications to proteins in both hypothesis-driven and discovery modes. Our pioneering efforts in "Top Down" proteomics involve fragmenting intact protein ions in the gas phase and developing custom bioinformatics to characterize unexpected post-translational modifications (PTMs) in methane-producing microbes, yeast, and human cancer cells. In both human cell biology and antibiotic biosynthesis, key proteins harbor over 20 PTMs that present a "code" of biological logic written in the language of protein modifications. We construct, automate, and apply custom mass spectrometry and algorithms to detect and decode this logic.

Imagine my shock when Rob called me from the grocery store to tell me they were out of broccoli. It wasn't even a weekly special. No broccoli in the entire store. I thought new year's meant more carrots, but maybe it really means broccoli?😉
In any case, have no fear, I switched recipes and ended up clipping off the last of my garden kale. Yes, there has been snow here for over 2 weeks and yes, hidden underneath the snowy blanket, my kale is still alive and kicking. More power to the kale! (The broccoli dish will have to wait)
Black eyed peas are certainly not just for the new year, but I was drawn to this black eyed pea and kale stew through Random Recipes. This month's challenge was to randomly select a recipe from a cookbook from someone else's library. I decided to tackle this electronically. When I saw Ali was gifted Superfood Kitchen I tried to borrow it from the library, but it hasn't been received yet. In that moment, I decided that the first recipe I found online from the cookbook would be my "random recipe" and I found it here: Kale and Black Eyed Pea Stew. I like that Julie has incorporated more common "superfoods" into her cookbook, like leafy greens and legumes, which can be seen in this recipe.
This is no ordinary bean and green stew. Along with black eyed peas and kale, there is red pepper as well as my addition of oyster mushrooms. It is a European spice mash-up with oregano and thyme as well as smoked paprika and Ancho chile powder. I was scared to use a full tablespoon of smoked paprika, but feel free to use more because this was not spicy. I ended up adding liquid smoke at the end for a further depth of flavour. But oh, this alone would still be a great chili-like stew, but this it is not. A special twist comes form the addition of ground wakame. A little goes a long way and makes this a unique stew. It brings a certain seaweedy-ness to the stew. By the way, a few notes about my version: I used dried herbs in this recipe because I don't usually use fresh herbs for a long simmer (they turn to mush, so maybe remove them as a bouquet garni). As well, the recipe calls for 3 cups of cooked black eyed peas but I am fairly confident this dish could be made more simply by cooking dried black eyed peas with the soup broth (which I have not tried but noted in the recipe below).
As you may have noticed, I am still on my smoked paprika kick. Here are other recipes I have bookmarked:
Smoky Tempeh and Chard Stew
Spanish Lentil and Mushroom Stew
Sneaky Collards at Serious Eats

Official press release:
Now in its sixth year, Hudson Horror Show continues to be the fastest growing retro horror film festival in New York. Fresh off another sold out triple feature at the Alamo Drafthouse in Yonkers, NY, Hudson Horror Show returns to its stomping grounds, the South Hills Cinema 8 in Poughkeepsie on Saturday, May 14th, 2016 for Hudson Horror Show #13! This all day event will start around noon and run past midnight, showing six full length horror/cult movies, all off vintage 35mm film. That's twelve hours of movie madness for only $35.00! Tickets are exclusively available at www.hudsonhorror.com.
While theater's around the country are ditching 35mm film in favor of all digital film presentations, Hudson Horror Show recently retro-fitted one of the theaters at South Hills Cinema 8 from digital back to 35mm film! HHS #13 will be held on two screens, but one screen is already sold out, so get your tickets for the remaining theater while you can.
So what are showing in May? Hudson Horror has been threatening to show a blaxploitation movie for years and thanks to our friends at Vinegar Syndrome we are proud to present DOLEMITE!! Be prepared for the Rudy Ray Moore classic which is easily the most politically incorrect movie we've ever shown!!
You've seen the sequel, now it's time for the original, Robert Englund's star turn in 1984's A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET! With John Saxon, Heather Langenkamp and Johnny Depp this is the movie that turned the slasher genre on its head and made Freddy Krueger a household name.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, HHS presents JAWS 2!!! The giant fish movie that many feels plays like a slasher flick, the shark sequel brings Bruce back to Amityville and the results are just as disastrous. JAWS 2 rarely gets any play theatrically and we are pleased to have this as part of our show.
Presented by The B-Movie Film Vault, we are excited to be screening NIGHTBREED! Clive Barker's monster mash features more on screen creatures than any other movie ever filmed. The original theatrical cut from Clive Barker is still the most entertaining version of the movie out there and after six years we are pleased to finally have this at a Hudson Horror event.
On top of all that we will have not but TWO MYSTERY HORROR MOVIES!! Want to know what we are showing? Get your tickets and find out!
HHS is thrilled to announce that Louis R. Pisano who co-authored Jaws 2: The Making of the Hollywood Sequel (with Michael A. Smith) will be in attendance! Louis will have copies of this amazing fact filled Jaws book on hand and will be signing at the show.
Of course we'll have vendors galore with DVD's, shirts, toys and collector's items; there will be door prizes, giveaways and so much more. That's 12 hours of fun for only $35.00 a ticket! Each ticket sold comes with a free Hudson Horror Show/Leatherface sticker spoof sticker. Theater #6 is already sold out; get your tickets for the remaining theater now at www.hudsonhorror.com! If you have any questions shoot us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll see you at the South Hills Cinema 8 in Poughkeepsie on May 14th for Hudson Horror Show #13!

Good Night, My Sweet Prince! (Remembering Sir Christopher Lee)
I know I'm late, but I've been working and all that good jazz, but yeah, somebody deserves a tribute, since he's my favorite actor EVER! Ok, Gary Oldman is my favorite actor, overall, but my favorite horror actor, Mr. Lee!
You can watch the 100 Years of Horror series for free online by clicking here.
The ever handsome and debonair, Mr. Lee starred in these killer films and TV shows!
Christopher Frank Carandini Lee was 6'5" of talented hunky hotness with his booming, sexy British accent, and his imposing stare. Not only was he the best Dracula EVER..., but he was always "the bad guy", and I loved it!
Anybody who knows me knows I have an unhealthy obsession with Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee aka Dracula circa 1957-1976 (my favorite Dracula), who hots this series, (I mean hosts, Freudian slip), which you can watch online and check out all 26 episodes for free streaming online.
Sir Christopher Lee was actually knighted, which makes total sense, because he is the epitome of English hotness, even at his death at the age of 93. He just turned 93 on May 27. He was knighted for his contributions to dramatic acting and charity in 2009 though he is also an operatic singer. He even released a heavy metal album recently.
You can watch the 100 Years of Horror series for free online by clicking here.
He has one of the sexiest voices and hottest British accents I have ever heard in my lifetime if not "the" hottest. He is particularly proud of his role in The Wicker Man, a British film in which he portrayed the ultra dignified and creepy Lord Summerisle in 1973.
The ever handsome and debonair, Mr. Lee starred in these killer films and TV shows!
The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)
The Horror of Dracula (1958)
The Mummy (1959)
To the Devil a Daughter (1976)
Tales of Mystery & Imagination: The Black Cat
The Resident
Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
The Corpse Bride (2005)
Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Sleepy Hollow (1999)
Howling II
Dracula A.D. 1972
The Satanic Rites of Dracula
Scars of Dracula (1970)
Taste The Blood of Dracula (1970)
Count Dracula (1970)
Crypt of the Vampire (1964)
The City of The Dead (1960)
The House That Dripped Blood
And not to mention, well, yeah, actually I am mentioning it, and talking about it alot in this post, actually. He is Lord Summerisle in the Wicker Man...the original one circa 1975, which you should watch if you have not.
The Wicker Man (1975), involves a British police officer visiting Summerisle, a remote British island to investigate the disappearance of a little girl. Pay attention, because there will be a festival going on (for May Day, I gather), and on this little island people celebrate just a little bit differently. In fact, everything is a bit different there. The pagan island of "Summerisle" was filmed around Newton Stewart in Dumfries and Galloway.
Click here to watch In Search Of: Dracula, hosted by Christopher Lee in 1975. I'll put up some other movies you can watch online for free to celebrate his memory.

The Canadian Team which consists of Michael Mehl (AB), Ravi Seth (ON), Rahul Sehrawat (ON), Noel Heaton (AB) and Matthew Henderson (AB/BC) are currently fighting through the Individual Draw and are gearing up for the team event that begins on Friday. Their journey commenced well before the Worlds when they arrived in Prague where the team trained for four days at the Hector Sports Centre to acclimatize to the time zone. The team is now settled in Bielsko-Biala and are getting stronger as individual players and as a team each day.
17 year old Michael Mehl brings a surplus of experience to the team, "2 years ago I had the pleasure of representing Canada in the Junior World Championships held in Winhoek, Namibia. Although I wasn't able to participate in the Team event, I accumulated valuable experience and was exposed to squash at the world class level. Through this exposure I have adapted my training to ensure that I am fit to represent Canada at this years Junior Worlds. We have a solid team this time around, and every representative has merit to back that up." Says Michael who will be leading the team as the number one player and the team captain.
Although this is the first Junior World Championships for Rahul, Ravi, Matt, and Noel, experience is not absent; the U19 Canadian Junior Open champion Matthew Henderson brings an edge to the team through achieving this international success. Ravi and Noel both are respective Silver and Gold Medalists at the Canada Games and Rahul is a seasoned player as his international successes have secured him a top position at the Columbia University Team in New York.
They have shown that they are ready for the world class competition. Coaches, Jonathan Hill and Andrew McDougall are well aware of the task ahead, but have high expectations for their talented team at the Team Event. "This World's has many countries with great depth so there are going to be some very strong pools to fight through" say's Hill who is hoping to improve on Canada's 13th place at the previous World's in Namibia.

Hacham Yedidia Shofet, a spiritual icon for Persian Jews both in Iran and the United States died last week at 96 in Los Angeles.
In Iran, Shofet served both as a religious leader and as the liaison representing Iran's Jewish community before the Shah's government. Shofet joined the thousands of Jews who left Iran following the 1979 Iranian revolution, but he continued to intercede for Jews in Iran by maintaining contact with various government and religious officials both within and outside of Iran.
"The death of this great man closes a chapter in the history of Iranian Jews," said Rabbi David Zargari of Torat Hayim.
Shofet was born in the central Iranian city of Kashan into a family with 12 generations of rabbis. Following his arrival in Tehran after World War II, he gradually gained prominence among Iran's Jews and non-Jews for his eloquent speeches and ability to easily connect with all who approached for help.
Shofet is survived by his wife; six children; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Daltrey replaces Manzarek & Krieger at PacificJune 5th, 2013, 3:25 pm by BEN WENER, ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
In light of Ray Manzarek's passing last month, a different act has been needed to fill in for the Aug. 10 performance that the Doors' keyboardist and guitarist Robby Krieger had planned for Pacific Amphitheatre.
Now that replacement has been named, and it's another legend: Roger Daltrey.
The 69-year-old powerhouse, who played Anaheim in January as part of the Who's ongoing Quadrophenia revival, should hopefully be in solid vocal shape, as his Costa Mesa appearance comes a month after his jaunt with Pete Townshend ends with a sold-out show at London's Wembley Arena.
Of course, the last time Daltrey came to Southern California as a solo act, he was tackling another rock opera, Tommy, in its entirety at every stop. That isn't likely to be the case at Pacific – the gig certainly isn't billed that way – but if he picks up where he left off before this latest Who outing, it seems logical that some of that classic material would be included in his set.Read the rest of this entry »

Watch: Bryce Dallas Howard gets mean for 'The Help'
Before I saw "The Help," i mostly thought of Bryce Dallas Howard as a blood-sucking vampire, M. Night Shyamalan's muse or Ron Howard's little girl. But I'll have a hard time shaking my latest recollection of her as Hilly, a sweetly vicious, adamantly racist Southern belle. Still, sitting down for an interview, the very pregnant star seemed to be the antithesis of her character. Thank God.
Howard, a devoted vegan who also doesn't eat sugar, was just as sweet as pie -- and, unfortunately, a question about pie was the only one I didn't get to squeeze in before our time was over. In the film, there's a pivotal scene in which Hilly has to chow down on a chocolate pie -- and her co-stars informed me that Howard was stuck eating a brown, unsweetened, tofu-ish concoction -- and had to do it with the enthusiasm little kids reserve for birthday cake. It's a great scene in the movie, and when I mentioned it as I was walking out, Howard grinned and said something that's not only a spoiler, but can't be reprinted here. But I got the impression that diving into that scene meant a lot more to her as an actress than having to choke down some disgusting pseudo-pie.
What was harder for Howard to swallow (yes, the metaphors just keep coming) was the way children are treated in the film. Not only are they passed off to strangers to raise, they're mostly neglected by their mothers, who are too busy playing bridge or hanging out with their friends to pay attention to them. Howard, who called the treatment of one character "a form of child abuse" admits that the "heartbreaking" material wasn't easy to read in the book. For those who haven't read the book, it's just as crushing on screen.
I wasn't surprised that Howard didn't have much sympathy for her villainous character. Still, by recognizing her as not only "ignorant" but a "product of her time," she manages to play Hilly as a layered, complex villain who honestly doesn't think that refusing to let her African-American maid use the family restroom is abominable behavior. More importantly, Howard manages to go toe-to-toe with some pretty stellar performances (Viola Davis, Oscar nominated for "Doubt," is most likely looking at another nod). There's a pretty good chance that, if the "The Help" gets kudos, Howard has a shot at getting some recognition, too. And that's worth some bad pie, no doubt.
To hear more from Howard about working on "The Help," check out the embedded video in this post. "The Help" hits theaters August 10.

good to see you Hilla!we will meet soon
Thu 15 Jan 2009
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Please welcome a new addition to the team of Hosts of The D-Word:
Marj Safinia.
Thu 15 Jan 2009
Thanks, Ben.
For those of you who don't know me I'm a long time member and contributor to The D-Word, although I don't post so often in the Public Topics. That will be changing :)
I'm also a filmmaker based in Los Angeles, having passed through New York, London and Tehran on my way here. I'm all about building community, which is one of the reasons I love documentary work, and so I'm thrilled to be welcomed as a new co-host in my favorite community of all.
I'm currently working on a new project, The Department of Expansion with fellow D-Worder and uber-DP, Nick Higgins and his amazingly talented producer/director wife Kristina.
Finally, I've just joined the Board of Directors of the International Documentary Association, so I'm looking forward to creating stronger ties between this community and the IDA in the months to come.
Big thanks to Doug, Ben and John for inviting me to join them as a co-host, and welcome to all our newer members and enthusiasts!
Thu 15 Jan 2009
Marj is a bundle of energy, a truly world citizen, a talented filmmaker, an inveterate networker, seems to have several projects on the go at any one time and still has oodles of karma and good humour to spare. We're delighted to have her join us as our Co-Host. Welcome, Marj!

Hello everyone! My name is Yung Chang. I made a film called Up The Yangtze. I'm a brand-new member here. The great Doug Block came to speak to us at the Canadian Film Center where I'm doing a residency. Thank you Doug for bringing me into this D-world. Also, Ben Kempas and I went searching for whales in Reykjavik in September but to no avail. Our tickets are good for a year. Next year right, Ben? I look forward to meeting, discussing and consuming.
Sat 17 Jan 2009
welcome, Yung! great to have you in the D-Word community... absolutely loved UP THE YANGTZE and it totally deserves all the acclaim it has received. personally, i especially appreciate a fellow asian american filmmaker getting notice in a world often devoid of non-white docmakers.
Sat 17 Jan 2009
Edited Sat 17 Jan 2009 by Doug Block
So great that you made it to The D-Word, Yung. Hope you'll hang out here and post often. It was a privilege to meet you and talk to the group. The irony of being asked to share my insights and experiences with other filmmakers is that I probably learn a great deal more from the interaction than they do.
Be sure to let folks here know more about your current project, The Fruit Hunters, in the Works in Progress topic. It's a fascinating idea and I'm sure we can be helpful. Meanwhile, can't wait to see Up The Yangtze which I've heard only great things about.
Sat 17 Jan 2009
Welcome, Yung! I saw UP THE YANGTZE last year at the Varsity Theater in Seattle and was very impressed by it. Great to have you in The D-word.
Sat 17 Jan 2009
Welcome indeed. UP THE YANGTZE was breathtakingly beautiful. Good to have you here.

A big welcome to the great dam builders from the great dam removers!
And yes, we'll need to claim those whale-watching vouchers. I hear Iceland is rather cheap these days...?
Sun 18 Jan 2009
I'm a photographer retraining as doc director & looking forward to learning from this forum
Sun 18 Jan 2009
Welcome, Sasha.
Sun 18 Jan 2009
Hey Yung, nice to see you here! I didn't know Ben was in Reykjavik at that time as well. Ben, I hope you got to experience Yung's mad DJ skillz. My wife and I went whale watching as well and didn't see a thing, but seeing as she was seasick, I'm not sure we'll do the freebie. :)
By the way, Yung is a true gentleman, helping my wife and I get a lift home from a far-flung screening (a three-hour silent epic completely in Icelandic, no less!)
Sun 18 Jan 2009
Wecome Yung .. always nice to have another Canuck in the room.

Hi all. I was referred here off another group, Doculink. I'm a director of photography who's been dabbling in docs for awhile now. I'm currently trying to figure out what to do with a travel show that I have just completed, www.iancampbelldp.com/NativeDestinations. I have 3 1/2 hr episodes ready to go but since my experience has been in production I have no connections with cable networks or any other types of distribution. I'd greatly appreciate any feedback or help with getting some sort of rep or agent.
That was a long winded intro but thanks for reading and I look forward to meeting people here.

Ian, you might want to offer the clips as Quicktimes, as Flash only files are not as accessible.

Dear D-word members,
I am a documentary filmmaker AND the Executive Director of the Sidney Hillman Foundation which has been giving out prestigious journalism awards for 50 years. Broadcast is a (relatively) new category so I am trying to nourish it and hope that some of you fellow documentary filmmakers will submit. Criteria is your film must be about a social or economic justice issue and have been broadcast in 2008!
Please see our website: www.hillmanfoundation.org for more information and to see judges and past winners

Hi to all!
I'm a new member here in the D word and a new documentary filmmaker too. I mean really new! I'm finishing my masters degree in mass communication and my thesis project is a documentary on photography: My first child. I've made a living as a photographer and photography professor for the last few years which makes this new stage an extremely exciting one.
Wed 21 Jan 2009
Hi Marcia and welcome to The D-Word. Best of luck on your thesis project. Care to share more about it?
Thu 22 Jan 2009
Hello everyone,
I am a cinematographer based in Los Angeles. However, I spent most of the last year in Cambodia, India, Iraq, Israel, Guatemala, etc. Although I work in narrative films as well, I absolutely love documentaries. I look forward to learning from everyone here as well as sharing my own knowledge. Cheers.
Thu 22 Jan 2009
Cheers back at ya, Tanner. Welcome aboard.

Hi Everybody:
I'm a writer/producer who makes a living on corporate projects but lives for my passion for documenting offbeat subcultures.
After making a bunch of political/history docs for PBS and PBS affiliates, I recently got sucked into the world of traveling county fair daredevils. "Hell Drivers: America's Original Crash Test Dummies," features guys who set themselves on fire for $500 and jump garbage trucks off dirt ramps despite the guaranteed back problems.
After being in about a dozen low-key festivals, I'm getting phenomenal feedback from both monstertruck fanatics and the NPR crowd (very little overlap). Lately, I've been researching the sales agent world to aim for TV before playing the distribution game to NASCAR nation. But I think it's a little too wacky for PBS.
Would love feedback on the trailer if anyone has a moment: http://helldriversmovie.wordpress.com/see-the-trailers/
Glad to be part of this community!
Much appreciated,

Hello everyone,
I'm an director/editor living and working in Santa Monica. I mostly get paid to edit crappy reality TV, but in between shows I like to help causes I care about grow awareness and gain support through media. Last spring, I went to the Thai/Burma border with some friends to lay the groundwork for a non-profit trying to bring hope to the people of Burma, and in the fall I traveled all over Africa to shoot a doc for a non-profit based in Nashville. I've done similar work in Sri Lanka, and I edited a short film about an AIDS orphan in Northern Uganda for the non-profit Invisible Children. Currently editing the Africa doc and cursing the sound guy (myself).
Take Care,

Hello everyone!
I'm a documentary filmmaker currently located in my hometown of Reading, PA. For the past year and a half, I've been living in New Hampshire creating short documentaries about the state during the primaries and election. It was there I stumbled upon the topic for my first feature doc – The Free State Project, a modern pilgrimage to New Hampshire by libertarians from around the U.S., intending to influence local and state policy in the hopes of creating a libertarian utopia inside the U.S.
My doc follows four individuals associated with the Free State Project– Two as they are moving to New Hampshire and two who already reside as members of FSP. They all are wonderfully different and bring different dimensions to this film of passionate characters.
We've finished filming, and I'm back in Reading catching up with old friends and editing this project. I plan to move out to L.A. by the end of the year. Can't wait to get to know all of you and learn from your expertise!
Tue 27 Jan 2009
A warm welcome to The D-Word, Christina. My guess is you look at your libertarian subjects objectively, but I'm curious if your personal politics differs a great deal. If so, almost always a fascinating tension. Feel free to talk more about the film in the Works in Progress topic.
Tue 27 Jan 2009
Hiya! I'm just starting to get back into digital vid. filming and this looked like a great site. I am trying to put together a short doc. and am always looking for advice and tips that can save me time, money and headaches but not always in that order. Short of my own limited experience I don't really have anyone locally to ask about stuff so, here I am. I am very interested in what others have accomplished on shoestring budgets. I've only signed up about an hour ago and have already found some great resources. Thank you! I'm not much of a social butterfly or big blogger type but if someone is interested what little experience I've had, I am willing to share. Then again this may be my last post... Thanks for such a great site BTW. I know it takes a ton of effort for a thing like this to run. Know that your work is greatly appreciated!
Best regards, Jay

Geez, Jay, always thought Cape Coral was a hotbed of documentary activity. Another illusion shattered, but welcome anyway.

Hi all, I'm a sometime filmmaker from Gibraltar, now languishing in the World of Extreme Sports, based in Munich...pays the bills though huh!
Thu 29 Jan 2009
Ah, Munich... perhaps then you know Munich's most famous online export, Mr. Ben Kempas? If not, you'll meet him here soon enough. And welcome to The D-Word, Sergio, where we languish 24/7.
Thu 29 Jan 2009
Doug, stop it...
Sergio, a big welcome from Munich to Glonn! How did you end up there?`:-)

Hi All!
I am very excited to be here today! A friend of mine told me about this wonderful site yesterday. While I have heard bits and bobs about it, I am pleased I took the time today to say hello. Documentary filmmaking is my passion. I majored in film studies at the University of Boulder where I made my first doc, Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow. It is fun to look back and laugh now:). Most recently I produced a documentary that opens in theaters next month called As Seen Through These Eyes, on the surviving art and artists of the Holocaust.
Also, I am currently circulating a short film called Kaziah the Goat Woman on the festival circuit, which I directed and edited.
Finally, you can find my thoughts in the form of a blog on FilmIndustryBloggers.com.
Thank you for all your hard work putting this together!
Fri 30 Jan 2009
welcome Amy! one of the editors (Zeb Smith) you worked with on AS SEEN THROUGH THESE EYES was the editor for my film. he doesn't post here very often, but he speaks very highly of your work.

Interested to see what happens with this. (And to read it, of course.)
John ScalziShared publicly -
GOOGLE PLUSIANS: This is me letting you know that "The B-Team," the first episode of my new novel The Human Division, is now live and out in the world, ready for you to read and enjoy and tattoo on your skin (note: don't tattoo on your skin. It's 22,000 words long). Here are details:

Holy fuck, Warren Ellis approves! :) Thanks for posting, will look into it. All things considered, $1.01 is not a big price for 22,000 words of polished (presumably) fiction.
I'm partway through already (bought it on my Nook this morning) and so far, so good... :)
Going to download it today. Thanks for the update. Look forward to catching as many episodes as they get released as I can.
I woke up at dawn, turned the Nook on, downloaded and read, then went back to sleep.
(Of course I had also checked at midnight and it wasn't there, grumble)
(Of course I had also checked at midnight and it wasn't there, grumble)
I finished it during lunch break. Most pleased. Self-Propelled Trouble Magnet is one of my favorite protagonist types, so I'm quite well primed for the coming weeks. :)
I just finished the Audible version I downloaded today. I can't say how great it is to be back in the "Old Man's War" universe.
How many words long is the whole shebang? At this rate it will be by far your longest work.
Deb Geisler
Thanks for the head's-up. Bought it; downloaded it. Won't get to actively read it until Friday. Damn, I hate working for a living.
I loved it! A witty, fun read for any sci-fi enthusiast. Can't wait for the next episode!
I started reading it last night, ready to start the third installment tonight. Really like it so far.

Wine Details
McLaren Vale › Fleurieu › Adelaide › South Australia › Australia
Wine Description
(From 2013 Vintage) Two Left Feet is the wine that is always looked forward to each year. It always exceeds expectations; it is magical how well it comes together. Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon work together brilliantly! The combination brings complexity and depth to this wine. Rich fruit and luscious flavors dance upon creamy mouth-feel and firm structure. Perfectly balanced and intense this wine is exciting and already very drinkable.
Winemaker's Notes
(From 2010 Vintage) "Deep crimson-purple, this wine brings together the best of these varieties – a big fruit impact, fine tannin structure, fresh acidity and silky texture. This is a seamless wine showing incredible depth and amazing length. With an array of fruit, blackcurrant, berries and plum accompanied by lifted oak, vanilla and warm spice this wine is a journey not to be missed. Two Left Feet is rich and generous, a harmonious blend with a persistent finish." -Winery
