Oh, wear both, Joy, wear both!
I am not going to invite them over…
I posted this yesterday but it seems appropriate again today.
Their book's out. Can't wait for the reviews.
Then there was the Christmas Sue and Bob brought a gift but no food!
Give the Pennys a big break, right here!
Oh, X …. what a lovely cover.
I don't suppose it actually has any content?
I mean, all the social graces of Crustwood would fit between page 1 and page…um…1.
I'll give it a quick read (I doubt one can give it a long read) so I can review it…
With a press run of 10 copies I'd better call the bookstore fast before there isn't one left that the Pennys didn't sign.
Reading is one thing, catching Penny cooties is another.
Wow… Joy's going to wear antiperspirant AND air out her girdle?
For the
Holy Toledo… if she's rinsing her bra, as well, it'll be the trifecta!
Why would anyone invite the Pennys to a black tie dinner?
Or a hot dog cook-out?
Or anything in proximity to food…. or even to themselves?
Man, the Pennys must have something juicy on them…..
Oh… and sorry I didn't get back here in time to say "Congratulations, 2Old!"
So I'll say it now:
"Congratulations, 2Old!"
Hostess doesn't start production until next month. Are you sure you have enough Twinkies to spare?
Plus it will cost you some money, you cheap things.
The Pennys were invited to lower the curve and raise the intelligence level of everyone else there.
Joy wearing her girdle….reminds me of a Food Channel show of making sausages.
Hmmmm… 'Dinner for Schmucks'?
If it's a black tie affair, Burl must either own a tux or plan to rent one…or he'll borrow Jerry's, which no doubt hasn't been dry cleaned in 20 years and smells of mothballs.
I think Burl owns a tux, as Seno was closed when he tried to return one a couple months back that he rented a decade before. May fit a bit tight but I am sure that is no deterrent for Burl. Just another complaint that it shrunk in the laundry.
While they muzzle their generosity to prevent embarrassing others, has there ever been a situation that might embarrass them? Of course not, they are so thoughtful and wise, they never make a social foo paw.

Organized religion is easy to define as group participation in beliefs and rituals. There is usually a priest, a place, and a prayer (1). Spirituality is trickier. It is often defined in terms of its opposites: anti materialism, lack of concern with worldly success, out-of-body sensations, and weakening of the ego.
The decline of religion in developed countries offers a unique perspective on the religion-spirituality connection. What happens to spirituality as organized religion declines? Are regular churchgoers more spiritual to begin with?
Are Religious People More Spiritual or Less Spiritual?
Scholars distinguish between public religiosity and private piety. People who attend church regularly may not be very religious in private. They lack private spirituality.
One index of religious depth is ethical conduct. People who attend church frequently like to adopt a high moral tone but they do not always deliver in practice. Publicly religious people are not more ethical in their conduct and actually fall short in several areas according to research (2). They are more likely than atheists to cheat on exams, for example, possibly reflecting more fear of negative evaluations by others.
Another intriguing area of failure is sexual misconduct (1). Despite espousing family values, religious conservatives spend more on online pornography. Long before the Internet, in the 1970's, religious conservatives were more interested in casual sex with other men in public restrooms (tearoom trade) reminiscent of the Larry Craig scandal.
Religious people are focused on whether a person follows rules laid down by others. As a consequence, they have an underdeveloped capacity for moral reasoning through which thoughtful individuals devise their own ethical rules and principles (2). So their moral reasoning may be in a state of arrested development - they simply defer to the rules.
If organized religion closes some doors in regard to ethical sophistication, religious people might also be less open to a broad range of spiritual experiences. One way of investigating this issue is to compare secular developed countries with more religious poorer nations.
What happens to spirituality in secular countries?
Some of the most developed countries are already predominantly secular. So what happens to spirituality in countries where the majority is no longer religious?
Religion/spirituality is arguably a basic trait found in everyone. Spiritual experiences have a neural basis, suggesting that the human brain was molded to facilitate religious experiences.
Although there is no single "God spot" in the brain, feelings of self-transcendence are associated with reduced activity in the right parietal lobe, a part of the brain cortex located a few inches above the right ear (3). Spiritual experiences use many different parts of the brain, however. So what do people in secular countries do with these brain functions after they abandon formal religion?
Analysis of secular countries suggests a clear, if surprising, answer. Although residents typically express a casual and condescending attitude towards organized religion, their interest in spiritual questions persists. Indeed, curiosity about topics such as the origin and meaning of life increases as does interest in world religions and practices such as yoga, tai chi, and transcendental meditation (4).
Interest in many different religious traditions may be symptomatic of secularization. The spiritually curious select from a menu of global beliefs and practices without being deeply committed to any of them.
Residents of secular countries, such as Sweden or Japan, express great interest in the supernatural, particularly in fiction and entertainment. Why do people in "godless" developed countries abandon formal religious beliefs yet willingly suspend their supernatural disbelief when it comes to novels, films, and soap operas? Such contemporary fiction is replete with supernatural elements such as vampires, ghosts, angels, witchcraft, and time-traveling aliens.
It may be that however much secularists reject religious beliefs, their evolved susceptibility to supernatural belief remains. Their spiritual propensity is just as strong but it is no longer focused on organized religion.

Appliance Repair Company in Tempe, E&J Appliance Service, Recommends Calling a Professional When Appliances First Start Acting Up
Appliance repair men at E&J Appliance Service know how important the home refrigerator is. Thats why they recommend calling a professional at the first hint of a problem.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 05, 2014 ) Tempe, AZ E&J Appliance Service owner, Ernest Johnson, has seen it all when it comes to appliance repair. He knows that when a valuable home appliance, like the refrigerator starts acting up, most people will put off calling a professional until the appliance completely quits. This may not be the best thing to do considering there is usually hundreds of dollars contained in it. The same goes for other appliances in the home. One should call E&J Appliance Service at the first sign of a problem. Visit http://www.ejappliance.com/ or call for service at 480-345-8884.

If the GE dryer is taking too long to dry clothes, or does not dry them completely, a service call is warranted. If the Maytag dishwasher is leaving residue on the plates and silver, a service call is probably needed. If the trash compactor does not compact so tightly any longer, an appliance repair service call is probably needed to get it working again. These are all little clues that something is wrong with a trusted and much needed appliance in the home. Doctors dont make house calls any longer but Tempe appliance repair techs at E&J Appliance Service do.
Many common problems with appliances in most every home can become a major problem when left thinking it will go away or when an unskilled service tech repairs the problem. Problems dont just go away, however. Again, as with the refrigerator, if it is not cooling properly or making a strange noise or leaking, one should call a professional immediately to avoid further damage. One should visit http://www.appliancerepairtempeaz.org/ for more information.
Modern refrigerators and other appliances may look simple but they are complex appliances that need to be serviced by a competent and well-trained appliance repair technician. One should call an expert at the first sign of trouble with an appliance in the home. A little maintenance today will insure that appliances in the home will operate sufficiently for years to come. To schedule an appointment or for more information call 480-345-8884.

Summer Reading: Princeton Reflects and Regroups
by Corey McLaughlin | LaxMagazine.com | Twitter | McLaughlin Archive
|Princeton midfielder Tom
Schreiber is coming off a Tewaaraton Award finalist campaign, but
the Tigers' season ended without an NCAA tournament berth. "We'll
be back stronger next year," he said.

What could we have done better?
That was the question from Princeton coach Chris Bates to midfielder Tom Schreiber after the Tigers' season ended much earlier than they had hoped.
"It wasn't something he wanted me to answer right away," Schreiber said at the Tewaaraton Award ceremony in late May in Washington, D.C. "It's something he wanted me to answer Sept. 1. That's still in the works now and we'll figure it out over the summer and come back strong."
The devil will be in those details, but the overall tone for Princeton's summer and fall is set: Come back stronger.
The Tigers lost to Yale in the Ivy League final for the second straight season, but this year, unlike in 2012, the loss cost Princeton an NCAA tournament berth. Two years ago, the Tigers still made the big dance as an at-large after winning the Ivy regular-season title. This time their bubble was burst.
"It ended in a disappointing way," Schreiber said of the season. "I don't mean to be too negative. We'll be back stronger next year. Our guys will be very motivated to come back and have a better year and play Princeton Lacrosse the way it should be played.
"I think we had some bright spots. Our offense did a really nice job, and some young guys really stepped up and we battled through some injuries. Overall, it was a pretty good year, but next year we'll be back even stronger."
The effort will start with Schreiber, who this spring as a junior was a Tewaaraton Award finalist and with one season left is already the most productive midfielder in Princeton program history with 169 career points. He was the first Princeton player with at least 30 assists in a season since Ryan Boyle in 2004.
Much like the run, pitch or pass decisions he had to make as an option quarterback at St. Anthony's (N.Y.) High on Long Island, Schreiber makes similar plays out of the midfield at Princeton, where he's counted on to distribute and pull the strings on the Tigers' offense.
"I'm pretty good at drawing slides and getting the ball out quickly, or making a decision to shoot it," he said. "That's something my dad has always kind of instilled in me. I learned it from basketball or in football, where I was an option quarterback, so I was making a lot of decisions with the ball all the time. That's my strongest point in my game. But I'm always looking to improve."
Schreiber is spending this summer in Baltimore, where he's interning with a financial firm and working out with former high school teammate Derek Muzio, who is entering his senior season with Division II Dowling.
Expectations will be relatively high for Princeton entering the spring 2014 season, with a 13-member senior class and experienced juniors and sophomores. If what was a new and young defense last year can catch up to the level of its offense, the Tigers will be the Ivy favorite. They must settle on a goaltender. Last year freshman Matt O'Connor showed promise as the starter early but was relieved by sophomore California product Matt Sanschagrin, who started the final four games of the season after Princeton was stunned in an upset at Dartmouth on April 13. That loss contributed to the Tigers' 3-3 Ivy League record and set them back when the NCAA tournament selection committee in Indianapolis compared resumes.
Which brings the conversation back to that question posed by coach Bates? There were, of course, already discussions about how to answer the query in the weeks after the season ended.
"We tried to delay that a little bit, but it's tough," Schreiber said. "We've talked a lot about it."
Coaching Carousel?
Are athletic directors too busy contemplating future conference alignments to reflect on the status of their head coaches? After the past few offseasons of numerous coaching shakeups at the Division I men's level, there hasn't been one change so far this summer. At this point last year, three of last year's five decisions on head coaches had been made and there was already one new hire.
Danowski Extended, and Back on Twitter
One coach who won't be on the carousel anytime soon is Duke's John Danowski, who has signed a contract extension to coach the Blue Devils through the 2018 season. The school announced the contract Friday for the leader of the reigning national champs.
Danowski is the second coach of a 2013 final four team to sign a contract extension this summer. Denver's Bill Tierney earlier signed a deal through the 2017 season.
In related news, Danowski has broken the Twitter silence that he was under during the spring season. He seemingly retired from the social media tool in February during the Blue Devils' preseason (Enjoyed my 18 months on Twitter! Thanks for following! I am out! Peace!" he said then.) But Danowski returned May 30, three days after he guided Duke to its second national championship in four years.
"The 2013 Season is over (sadly). I am returning to the Twitter sphere! Went cold turkey, did not look at any tweets for five months!" Danowski tweeted.
He's since kept followers updated on trips to his native Long Island, summer reading, watching Hofstra lacrosse alum Peter Dante in "Big Daddy," and his successful NCAA recruiting exam.
Kelly's Trick of the Trade
I stopped by the Denver Outlaws' practice on Friday night at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium ahead of its big Major League Lacrosse tilt with the Chesapeake Bayhawks on Saturday night. The Outlaws won that game, 13-9, to remain a perfect 7-0 on the season.
On Friday, while gathering observations for a future magazine story, it was impossible not to notice the A-Train, Denver faceoff man Anthony Kelly, warming up and using a homemade contraption to do so. He attached a bungee cord to a bench using a carabiner, walked out a few feet to a stripe on the sideline and started going through his faceoff motion using an 8-pound weighted shaft. Think of it as using a heavy rubber doughnut on a baseball bat to warm up. Once it's taken off, your speed increases because of the decreased resistance.
Kelly developed the drill himself and has started sharing it. After going through several reps, soon rookie Ryan Snyder, out of Lehigh, came over to work with Kelly and asked him about the newfound trick of the trade. Snyder was added to the squad last week, but didn't dress Saturday night. He was eager to pick up tips from Kelly, and the MLL veteran was accommodating.
Shootout for Soldiers
In case you missed it on Friday, the second annual Shootout for Soldiers raised $126,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project. The 24-hour charity lacrosse game was played at McDonogh (Md.) School in its entirety despite thuderstrorms that altered some event planning.

Ye it's that time of year again, when the 2nd year students of the Gobelins School of Communication in Paris put their films on show at the Annecy Animation Festival.
The students work in small crews, concentrating only on the production of their group film. No essays, dissertations or other academic distractions. There is intense competition for places on the course; most of the applicants are already proficient animators.
The Annecy shorrts films are made to a very high standard, and are typically 60 – 90 seconds long. One was nominated for an Oscar last year.
The films are released one per day, to be shown at the beginning of each session of screenings. The first to appear this year is the story of a lamplighter in a tropical glasshouse who is beguiled by mysterious sprites. It's called "Monstera deliciosa", which is the botanic name for the Swiss Cheese Plant.
(Click these pictures for the big versions, please)
I love the beautiful treatment of the backgrounds in this film
There's some very daring character design on view.
Someone took great care with the layouts and compositions.
Crew members are: Jérémy Macedo, Julien Perron, Ornélie Prioul, Rémi Salmon.
Here's the link. (Requires QuickTime)
Another Gobelins post tomorrow, no doubt…

Washington Post Allows Muslim Professor To Call People Concerned About Islam Ignorant On Op-Ed Page
It's not the first time the Washington Post has allowed this apparent hardcore Islamist use of their op-ed page. Previously, he whined about being banned in the USA. Perhaps there is a reason, though, of course, the ACLU and other dhimmi's took up his cause, and the Obama State Dept. revoked his banning. Here is the title on the main opinions page
Got that? It's not because you are a hater of people who stone women, whip women, hang gays, want to exterminate Jews and Israel, among others, and, oh, yeah, let's not forget fly hijack planes into buildings to kill civilians. No, it's because you are just too stupid to understand Islam
Just a short time ago, Europe seemed to be the part of the West where fears of Islam were most evident, with its bitter controversies over headscarf bans or the construction of mosques in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Yet in recent weeks, America's relationship with Islam appears to have changed. The battle over a planned Islamic community center near Ground Zero in New York and the proposed burning of the Koran by a Florida pastor have revealed similar worries, and journalists and intellectuals (including, ironically, European ones) have been quick to describe the rise of Islamophobia in America.
Interestingly, those worries about Islamists in Europe have been accompanied by riots and murders in Europe, all by ……. yes, Muslims! And let's not forget the threats of murder in Europe by……Islamists. Furthermore, it is interesting that Jones' threat to burn the Koran brought about massive violence by Muslims worldwide, who figured they had a license to mayhem just at the thought of burning a Koran. Which nutty Jones never actually did.
Polls show that nearly half of Americans have unfavorable views of Islam, and the fear of this faith in America is undeniable. But is it as simple as xenophobia and racism? I do not believe so. Natural and understandable concerns can be transformed into active rejection and open racism when political discourse and media coverage fan the flames for ideological, religious or economic interests. That is what is happening in America today.
Again, most of the hate and violence around the world came from Islamists. Sure, there were a few anti-Muslim and GZ mosque folks who decided they would go too far, but, really, there is quite a bit of difference between burning a Koran or ripping a few pages out and rioting, torching buildings, and chanting death to America, I'd reckon.
The great majority of Americans do not know much about Islam but nonetheless fear it as violent, expansionist and alien to their society. The problem to overcome is not hatred, but ignorance. The challenge for Muslims in America is to respect the fears of ordinary people while resisting the exploitation of those fears by political parties, lobbies and sectors of the media. To meet this challenge, Muslims must reassess their own involvement, behavior and contributions in American society.
See? You're stupid. If only you truly knew about Islam, you'd submit. Which, of course, is what Islam means. Submission to Allah. Submission to Sharia law. To women being second class citizens, whipped for being seen in public with a man other than their father or husband. To being married off as a young teen. To killing the unbeliever. To…..well, actually, you know what Islam stands for. And when we call the hardcores "extremists," really, they aren't. The ones we call moderates are actually the extremists, for failing to follow the full word of Mohammed.
Negative perceptions of Islam are hardly new in the West — they date back to the medieval age, not to Sept. 11, 2001. In the late 20th century, they were overtly revealed through crises such as the Iranian revolution and the Salman Rushdie affair, which suggested that Islam threatened Western security interests as well as core values such as freedom of expression. More recently, the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon (as well as in Bali, Madrid and London) as well as the Danish cartoon fiasco only appeared to confirm to many in the West that Islam is an enemy, forever estranged from them. The wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict feed the same fears.
Apparently, we have nothing to fear from Islamists, despite the attacks by Muslims in the name of Allah. Perhaps, instead of calling people in the West rubes, Ramadan could work towards stopping the reason people fear Islam when he speaks to Muslims
When speaking to Western audiences, Ramadan preaches an amicable message of unity and mutual respect. But to Arabic-speaking audiences, he vents his deep-seated hatred of the West and his endorsement of Wahhabism, the most extreme form of Islam. Moreover, Ramadan has numerous connections to fundamentalist Islamic militants and is suspected by U.S. intelligence agencies of maintaining ties with the terrorist group al Qaeda.
Oh. Interesting. And who could forget this
Ramadan characterized the 9/11 attacks, the October 2002 Bali nightclub attack, and the March 2004 Madrid train bombings as "interventions" rather than acts of terrorism.
And there is much more that paints Ramadan as part of the problem that makes people fearful and distrustful of Islam. But, hey, thanks for giving this hardcore the benefit of preaching to the USA, calling us ignorant, on the Sunday editorial page, Washington Post. This is what is called "dhimmitude."

Skip to comments.John Demjanjuk, convicted death camp guard, dies
Posted on 03/17/2012 8:38:34 AM PDT by Jim from C-Town
BERLIN (AP) John Demjanjuk, a retired U.S. autoworker who was convicted of being a guard at the Nazis' Sobibor death camp despite steadfastly maintaining over three decades of legal battles that he had been mistaken for someone else, died Saturday, his son told The Associated Press. He was 91.
Demjanjuk, convicted in May of 28,060 counts of being an accessory to murder and sentenced to five years in prison, died a free man in his own room in a nursing home in the southern Bavarian town of Bad Feilnbach. He had been released pending his appeal.
John Demjanjuk Jr. said in a telephone interview from Ohio that his father apparently died of natural causes. Demjanjuk had terminal bone marrow disease, chronic kidney disease and other ailments, and local authorities said the exact cause of death was still being determined.
It was not yet known whether he would be brought back to the U.S. for burial.
Ukrainian-born Demjanjuk (dehm-YAHN'-yook) had steadfastly denied any involvement in the Nazi Holocaust since the first accusations were levied against him more than 30 years ago.
"My father fell asleep with the Lord as a victim and survivor of Soviet and German brutality since childhood," Demjanjuk Jr. said. "He loved life, family and humanity. History will show Germany used him as a scapegoat to blame helpless Ukrainian POWs for the deeds of Nazi Germans."
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Convicted of crimes against humanity by of all people, GERMANY!
I do not know if he was a POW or forced death camp guard. Regardless, the stte decided he was guilty over thirty years ago and tormented this man no matter the proof.
The earthly end of a man whom I believed to be honorable and innocent of all charges!
May he rest in peace and may his family receive consolation and peace in the knowledge that their innocent father is with our Savior.
I wonder why Tom Lehrer didn't get in the act like he did with Wernher von Braun:
"Some have harsh words for this man of renown
But some think our attitude should be one of gratitude
Like the widows and cripples in old London town
Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun."
God is the final judge.
Good riddance
Tom Lehrer was a lot wiser than his fans.
He knew a little bit of this stuff went a long way.
He was guilty as Hell. The only reason he was never put to death was the stupidity of all the nations and their courts. Technical legal glitches kept him alive, not any innocence.
" And John Demjanjuk, 91, after spending five years on death row for a crime he did not commit in a place he never was, is stateless and homeless in a Germany where veterans of the SS walk free. "
For the U.S. government to single him out for prosecution was a disgrace.
Yeah, it is telling that they pursued him with great fervor for all of those years yet pay no attention to scumbags like Soros who was an admitted Nazi collaborator.
NO less than the Israelis judged and released him. And the final amazing part was that Germany was prosecuting him. SS men walk free there,, and there would have been no Sobibor without the Germans invading Ukraine.
Thats an amazing disconnect,, to have Germans, trying a Ukrainian,,, for things people may have done, under threat of immediate death by them.
"For the U.S. government to single him out for prosecution was a disgrace.
The disgrace was not prosecuting ALL the Nazi guards and killers.
Some "autoworkers" had it a little better.
Joachim Peiper,, SS commander who repeatedly mass murdered, including American prisoners at Malmedy.
"On 17 January 1957 he began work at Porsche in Stuttgart in its technical division. He would later represent the company at car exhibitions. He was later put in charge of auto exports to the United States but his wartime criminal conviction prevented him from obtaining a visa for travel to the United States. This would not allow him to maintain this new position.
As he advanced within Porsche, he was accused by Italian union workers of the Boves Massacre in Italy during World War II. Ferdinand Porsche personally intervened and promised Peiper a senior management position, but this offer was derailed by the trade unions, who objected to allowing persons convicted of war crimes to serve in the upper management of the company. The strong antipathy to Peiper, his association with Ferdinand Porsche and the related negative impact on sales in Porsche's biggest market, the United States, forced Porsche's management to dismiss him. On 30 December 1960 Peiper filed suit to compel Porsche to fulfil its promises"
Lucky he wasn't a lowly camp guard from the invaded people.
Which attests to neither his guilt or innocence. It's a shame that he became a political football. If he was guilty of the crimes of which he was accused, justice was not done for his victims. If he was an innocent scapegoat, then he was the victim of a terrible injustice.
In any case, his life is now being judged perfectly, and that's something that awaits us all.
Injustices like this happen because people, in the desire for vengeance, often forget that making people into scapegoats doesn't do anything to advance justice. It is to try to prevent situations like this that we have the "innocent until proven guilty" rule.
As someone mentioned, it *is* telling that Soros still walks free, although he admitted to collaboration with the Nazis and is thus responsible for God only knows how many innocent deaths. And Soros apparently enjoyed being a collaborator. I could ask why Soros walks free, while an autoworker who would be otherwise unknown was persecuted for so long... but I think we all know the an$wer.
The evidence against him was an ID card produced by the soviet KGB, during the height of the cold war. That and a few "eyewitnesses".
Ever go to a 30th high school reunion? How about a 40th? Or a 50th? Some people almost look the same,, and some you saw everyday cannot be recognized. The Israeli courts said the testimony was not trustworthy. If the state of Israel won't convict him, that should give us pause. (about this one case, not about Nazis in general)
He was found guilty with plenty of evidence to show it.
"He was found guilty with plenty of evidence to show it."
The Supreme court of Israel doesn't agree with you. And in any case, to have *Germans*, trying Ukrainians, for events occuring 1941-44,,should raise an eyebrow.
Especially when so many high ranking of their own got to live out their lives.
"In Panzer Leader, Guderian said that he was fully aware of the brutal occupation policies of the German administration of Ukraine, claiming that this was wholly the responsibility of civilians, about whom he could do nothing."
Retired openly in Schwangau, in the Bavarian Alps,,
Peiper of the SS Malmedy Murders,,, landed in a nice executive position at Porsche.
Reinhard Gehlen,, Nazi Intellegence leader,,Worked for the CIA, and headed German Intelligence from the mid 50s. He retired from government service in 1968, receiving the pension of a Ministerialdirektor (one of the most senior civil service grades),plus, allegedly, a pension from the CIA. He died in 1979 at the age of 77. Made a "Knight of Malta" in the 60s.
SS man Von Braun. Who has the distiction of building a weapons system that murdered more in the construction factory, than killed on the battlefield. Wound up with a nice retirement gig with NASA.
So does it strike you as a bit odd, so much effort was brought to bear against someone who at BEST was a ukrainian national, concripted as a camp guard to avoid being in the camp too? And with thin evidence,,, despite widely known solid evidence against others who were not pursued, or were lightly punished?
You've had stuff to say about this guy.
The Devil is a 'Nazi', while all the angels have been Communist!
If Israel didn't find him guilty, you can rest assured he was not guilty. That should have been the end of it.
He may or may not have done whatever. He certainly was NOT Ivan the terrible of Sobibor and was PROVED innocent of those charges by none other than the Israeli Supreme Court.
Legal technical glitch. They said they did not consider him innocent just not proven guilty.
"PROVED innocent "
Legal technical glitch. They said they did not consider him innocent just not proven guilty.
Not being the camp commandante "Ivan The Terrible" is a little bit more than a "technical legal glitch". It's more like a royal f&&& up on the part of the people trying to convict him.
CodeToad is clearly indicative of why Demjanjuk was hounded even after Israel made its determination. Some people just can't let go of things they're "sure" of despite the evidence or lack of it. This was a witch hunt.
Looks like you were at Christ crucifixion too?
And that is exactly how a proper justice system is supposed to work. I'm pretty sure if you asked any prosecutor, he'd tell you every defendant he ever tried was guilty but that dad-gum proof thing sure seemed to get in the way a lot.

At 6 o'clock Monday morning Mrs. Elizabeth Price, widow of the late David Price, expired at her
home on the Mexico Road farm about four miles west of this village. Five weeks ago she was
taken ill with dropsical trouble about the heart, which was the cause of her death. She had
been more then ordinarily blessed with good health during her long existence, and seldom if
ever before her final sickness was she under the doctor's care.
Mrs. Price was formerly Miss Elizabeth Carleton, daughter of James and Eleanora Carleton. She
was born in County Mead, Ireland, October 25, 1825, and came to this country with her parents
when she was 22 years of age. They came directly to this town and she had always remained here.
On June 1, 1854 she became the wife of David Price, who died January 24, 1872. For 50 years
she had resided on the farm where she died Mrs. Price was highly respected and her death will be
much regretted. She was a member of Trinity Episcopal church, a kind neighbor and loving
mother. Besides a large circle of friends she leaves to mourn her loss five children - Charles
J. and Walter Price of Chico, Cal., D. Sidney Price, Mrs. Sarah Patchen and Mrs. William Wall
of Camden. A son James William, who died in California two years ago, and a daughter, who died
at the age of 9 years, were the remainder of the seven children born to Mrs. Price. She also
leaves two brothers, John R. and James Carleton of this town, and 12 grandchildren
and 1 great-grandchild.
The funeral is to be held today at 12 o'clock from her late home and her remains interred in
Forest Park Cemetery.
PRICE -- In Camden, N.Y., March 21, 1904, Mrs. Elizabeth Carleton Price, aged 78 years, 4
months and 25 days.

I was a little hesitant at first to try this product. I have sensitive, acne prone skin. The last thing I need is to add an oil to my face. I've tried a Vitamin C treatments in the past and one in particular worked great for me, until I broke out. I decided to try again after reading the reviews and this treatment is so light and absorbs immediately. No greasy feel and it didn't irritate my skin at all. My complexion looks great! I love it.5
So long story short, I started to notice either a freckle/birthmark/age spot fading, but then spring hit and I can't stay inside so it's coming back, but not as bad. I would like to see this fade more again. I am always on the lookout for something to fade my freckles (38 and still covered in them). But I love the way this feels, compared to some other age spot fading treatments it does not smell horrid. Another easy layer for me to add without extra weight (I mean come one after all the other serums, moisturizers, foundation, creams, I don't need more heavy weight on my skin)4
I purchased the C15 super booster from the Soho store after using the Vitamin C Spot treatment in my April box. I add 3 drops to my daily moisturizer (I don't think it goes on as evenly alone) day and night. It absorbs quickly and I don't feel my face getting greasy throughout the day. I haven't had any issues with breakouts and I feel like my skin is getting more even and brighter. I'm happy with the purchase! It does have an odd (not super pleasant) smell, which I don't notice as much when I add it into my other moisturizer.4
