Clooney and Alamuddin cap weekend nuptials with civil ceremony
By Antonio Denti and Cristiano Corvino
VENICE (Reuters) - American screen idol George Clooney and Lebanese-born human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin formalized their marriage in a civil ceremony in Venice on Monday, after a weekend of celebrations attended by Hollywood stars.
The couple, who married at a lavish party on Saturday night, spent about 10 minutes inside the lagoon city's 14th century city hall for a civil service registering their marriage.
It was presided over by former Rome mayor and close friend, Walter Veltroni.
Alamuddin, 36, wore a white trouser suit with a crop top and a wide-brimmed white hat with a black ribbon. The 53-year-old Clooney, dubbed until now as the world's most famous bachelor, wore a light gray suit.
A black cat lingered on the wharf in front of city hall, worrying some on-lookers who feared it could be a bad omen for the couple. It tip-toed away minutes before the bride and groom arrived, bringing sighs of relief to the superstitious.
The couple arrived and left aboard the speedboat water taxi "Amore" they have used all weekend. They waved and smiled at photographers in other boats and well-wishers on bridges along the Grand Canal.
The brief service ended the single status of the two-time Oscar winner who several years ago reportedly made a $100,000 bet with actress Michelle Pfeiffer that he would never remarry after his 1993 divorce from actress Talia Balsam.
"She's one very lucky woman. She is beautiful and he is very good looking, a man all women go crazy for," said Gaia Balika, a Russian woman who watched the celebrity couple arrive. "Everything was beautiful." Continued...

Bored? Be Busy in Brazil!
The responses to my last blog -- Buy Brazil! -- reminded me of how amazed I was moving to a "small town" and finding out how many activities and opportunities to get involved Clay County offers. Anyone who complains they have "nothing to do" (mostly young and still stupid types) simply isn't paying attention. There really is something for anybody and everybody who has any interest in anything beyond watching TV (my personal preference).
First, there are social service organizations, of which my quickly drawn-up list includes: American Legion, Co-Op Benevolence Ministry, Crisis Pregnancy Center, Eagle Lodge, Elks Lodge, Food Pantry, Genealogy Library, Historical Society, Humane Society, Kiwanis, Moose Lodge, Optimists, Rotary, and Veterans of Foreign Wars.
As to activities for youth, there has to be as many things to do as we've got kids in this town: Sports for boys and girls, the 4-H, YMCA activities, and whatever else. And, who knows, maybe someday we will actually get that Skateboard Park!
One of the responses to referred to the Community Theater. I'm not personally aware of what other similar opportunities may exist.
If you don't live in the city proper, there is probably a Volunteer Fire Department near you that could use some help. If you do live in town there is that Emergency Rescue group.
Another thing which has always struck me is how many Jonah Fish Fry's spring up every spring and summer. I'm convinced a person could spend May through October going to some social or festival somewhere every week and never leave Clay County.
What we don't have, it seems to me, is any kind of "Clearing House" for informing people of what is going on, what opportunities to get involved exist, and how I can help. Everybody with something to offer seems to be on their own when it comes to getting the word out.
Certainly I am as open to suggestions as anyone about such an information exchange, but let me start the list:
Would a website help?
Could The Brazil Times be enlisted to publish a monthly calendar, or offer something like the weekly church advertisements in the Saturday editions?
The radio, cable, and area TV broadcasters have some civic obligation; how could this be tapped into?
Whatever could be done in terms of getting the word out must be permanent. To promote the idea to "Be Busy in Brazil" won't go very far if it is only a one time thing. What is needed is a way to promote information on what's available often enough, consistently enough that no one in Brazil (not even the young and still stupid types) can be bored!
Got any suggestions?

Pomegranate Concentrate
These two Middle Eastern products have become very chic lately...salad dressings, marinades, dessert sauces. We've had them in our cupboards for years, always enjoying when people question that secret ingredient in our cooking.
Pomegranate Molasses is a cooked product that is sweetened slightly. It makes a great dessert sauce on it's own, drizzled on ice cream or puddings. You can also mix it with sparkling water or champagne for a nice pink cocktail. But the real beauty of these is to mix them into salad dressings or meat marinades. Try some in your favorite BBQ sauce for a fruity and bold background.
Pomegranate Concentrate is just that...pomegranate juice concentrated. It's more powerful and less sweet - so it's better in savory preparations like sauces. Finish a rich demi-glace with a drizzle of pomegranate concentrate.

Yerington, NV male 2 yr old Isshin
Petfinder Adoptable | Dog | German Shepherd Dog | YERINGTON, NV | Isshin
Isshin is a beautiful coated boy that is about 2 years old. He is very friendly with people. Isshin gets along with most dogs, but would prefer interaction with his person.
Isshin is very high energy and needs a home where he would have a job or structured activity to keep him occupied.If left to his own devices, he would likely turn destructive.
Isshin has had very little training, but has mastered sit. Wait is not a word he really wants to hear. His life is go, go, go. Isshin also has a fascination with cars. He wants to be inside them or chase them. He is getting better, but near traffic, he gets quite excited. At this point, a Haltie is a must!
Isshin needs a home where he will be part of the family. The life of a backyard dog is not for him. He would need a securely fenced yard with fencing at least five feet high.

Calculating 90 degree conduit bend
Hey guys,
I have this Gardner Bender conduit bender for 1/2 EMT. Having a hell of a time calculating where to line up the bender to get an accurate measurement for a 90 degree bend.
I've watched a few clips on YouTube on how to calculate the bend but they are referencing off some kind of "star point" on the bender and mine doesn't have one of those.
It reads DEDUCT 5" FOR 90° STUB AT ARROW - Which arrow? There are 6 of them. :confused1:
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
the arrow clear to the right. It is the only arrow like it. It does not have any number and º associated with it.
it's the 7th arrow.
Ideal (brand) benders use a star
Ahhh there it is, doesn't really stand out and didn't see it until I knew to look for it.
The arrow point without any number is the 0° that is your starting point.
And make sure you are aware you have to deduct 5 inches if you going to make a inside bend (90°) any other you may have a conversion chart on the handle itself { some will have some don't }
If you need any tips or more info just ask us we will tell you few tips on them.
Oh yeah take a peice of scrap conduit and pratice on that.
So deduct 5" for an inside bend? What about for an outside bend? Deduct 5.5" or 4.5"?
The bender didn't come with a handle. I just use a 4' black pipe.
Technically, couldn't you measure exactly 5" from the arrow and mark that as the "star point"?
For the outiside bend that will varies a bit depending on how you run it if you have outside corner most case useally the LB or corner ellbow conduiet will do the trick.
I don't use the black pipe with me I end up use the stainless steel pipe due I have two benders on one pipe one for half inch EMT while other one for 3/4 inch EMT or half inch ridge conduit { heveywall steel conduit }
for your last comment Oui you can do that as well each one have diffrent methold to work the best. { I do run in inches and Millmeter scales so I go both ways }
And also let me give you a head up when you bend them just go a little more than you plan to go X number of degress you want the reason why to comperised the springback.
And do this on smooth surface so that way you don't get any kink in your conduit bender.
inside/outside? Not sure what you mean.
Using that 5" deduct method, you can bend a 90º bend with the ends sticking forward to a predetermined length. That's it.
If you want that stub end (generally what it's called) that is 20" long, you deduct 5" from that measurement and make a mark. You put that mark at the arrow and bend a 90º bend. That will result in that stub end, measured from the end of the conduit to the back of the bend to be 20".
There are a variety of methods employed to make a bend how you want it to be. Did you get a manual with the bender?
and in addition to marc's "how to"; use a lot of pressure with your foot. With 1/2" conduit, I actually do most of the work with my foot. As the pipe gets bigger, you have to yank on the handle harder and harder but you still need to keep pressure on the bender with your foot. If you don't, the conduit will not be forced into the shoe and you end up with kinked conduit and nobody liked kinked conduit.
I bought the bender a long time ago. I know a few instructions came with it but have no idea where they are. Went to GB's website and they don't have any documentation for that particular bender model.
Looks like a stub end is what I'm looking for.
I always used the bend first, then cut to size method but it's time to try to do it the right way :)
Thanks for the tips!

Chicago's Best Ideas: Martha Nussbaum, "Creating Capabilities: The Human Development Approach"
Date:Tuesday, March 2, 2010 - 12:15pm
Location:Room II
As part of the Chicago's Best Ideas series, Professor Martha Nussbaum will deliver the lecture "Creating Capabilities: The Human Development Approach."
International agencies used to measure the quality of life in a nation simply by looking at GDP per capita. Recently that approach has been challenged by an approach that focuses on people's "capabilities": what they are actually able to do and be, their substantial freedoms, in some central areas of life. As one of the architects of that approach, Nussbaum will discuss its origins and structure, and the arguments for and against it.

Why the discrepancies in results? Los Angeles surgeon Thomas Schmalzried, the lead designer for the implant, says one reason is surgical skill. Because of its size and design, the device had to be installed with great precision. Surgeons who did only a few procedures a year had bad outcomes – but then so did a few who did lots, and Dr. Schmalzried testified last week that he wouldn't have put the device out had he known it would fail so often.
Patient selection was another factor. The device I got worked extremely well in younger men with good bones, but not so well in women, and terribly in the old. And then there's the plaintiff lawyers' argument: It was just badly engineered.
But the biggest potential problem may be metallosis: Tiny particles of metal can rub off, causing pain and swelling around the joint. Depending on whom you ask, it is either a rare complication or a major life-threatening hazard.
"Even if you don't feel any discomfort, you may be experiencing cobalt and chromium poisoning," says Regina lawyer Evatt Merchant of Merchant Law Group, a leading class-action firm (founded by his father, Tony) that he says has been contacted by about 500 unhappy patients.
"And that is a dangerous medical health problem because it gets into the bloodstream. It's carcinogenic – that's the fear."
The trouble is that metallosis is a murky subject. Everyone with metal hips is supposed to have blood tests. But no one can agree what metal levels are problematic. Some people are so frightened that they insist on having their implants removed even though they feel fine and there is no evidence so far that particles from hip implants cause cancer.
I can almost see why they worry, given the truth, half-truth and scare stories on the Web: I have learned that I could develop aseptic lymphocyte-dominated vasculitis, silent soft-tissue pathology, and "pseudo tumours" (I have no idea what these conditions are, but I'm sure they're deeply unpleasant). I have even read of surgeons opening up patients to find that the tissue around their implants has been destroyed.
As for me, I'm fine. Although my hips aren't perfect, they are very good. I can't hike the way I used to, and hard city pavement quickly wears me out. But I can bike and ride a horse and bend and stretch as well as ever. I have my life back.
The people at DePuy are being very nice. They will pick up all my hip-related medical bills, including blood tests for metal levels, travel costs to Montreal for follow-ups, and costs connected to revision surgery, if I ever need it. They are hoping very much that I don't sue them.
Gloria McSherry is not so lucky. "My life will never be the same," she says. "I never dreamed that I could ever have anything like that happen to me."
She doesn't need the money, but says that "we decided to sue because we couldn't believe the injustice of it all. They are supposed to be in business to improve lives."
If I had gone through what she has, I would sue too. And yet I'm not sure the hip debacle is the incredible disaster the litigation industry says it is. All medical devices and procedures can fail. And despite the terrible publicity, some surgeons still use metal-on-metal implants. In the right hands, they say, the technology works well for certain patients.
In the world of high-tech medicine and high-stakes litigation, we patients are largely on our own. No matter how diligent regulators are, they will never protect us all. It's up to us to figure out whom to trust. Dr. Google doesn't have all the answers.
As the trial in California grinds on, insiders say that J&J is negotiating to settle the 10,750 U.S. cases for around $2-billion, a sum that will barely dent its profits.
As for me, I've decided to stop worrying. What else can I do? It seems foolish to be consumed by fear of hypothetical harm. With luck, my hips will be buried with the rest of me, far in the future.
But I have learned a lot. I am much more skeptical of the wondrous new offerings from Big Pharma. I'm sorry I wrote that piece in the paper, and I worry about the people I encouraged. I hope they're all okay. From now on, I will offer only two pieces of advice to people whose hips are shot. Pick a good surgeon. And caveat emptor.Report Typo/Error

Oct 29, 2013 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorOlivia Thompson paced the Riverton Wolverines on Saturday with a 12th-place finish at the Class 4-A state cross country meet in Sheridan.
Thompson ran the 3.1-mile course in a time of 20:13.88. The top 10 runners earn all-state honors. Thompson is a past state champion.
Laramie's Hailey Schmidt placed 10th in a time of 20:00.04.
"Olivia had a personal record at the state meet over the last three years," RHS coach Jay Dayton said. "She went out and went for it. She was in the top 10. Then at the two mile, she slipped a few spots. She gave it her all. She tried to make it there. It just didn't happen."
Campbell County High School swept the top three individual places in the girls race on its way to winning the team championship.
Tabitha Simmons won the race in 19:15.05.
"The times are so fast because the quality of the fields is so good this year in boys and girls," Dayton said. "The competition in cross country this year is just outstanding."
Campbell County scored 20 points in the team standings. Laramie was second at 80 points.
"The conditions were great on Saturday," Dayton said. "It was cool weather. There wasn't any wind. It was a perfect fall day."
The Wolverine girls came in eighth with 241 points.
Boys race
Riverton's Dustin Blackburn was 39th in 17:36.55 for the highest finish for the Wolverines.
Gavin Settlemire ended up 56th in 18:14.01.
"I really felt like we took a step forward this year with the boys team because our times were so much better," Dayton said.
Laramie's Jonah Henry took the 4-A individual title (15:22.32) while Ricky Faure from Rock Springs was second (15:35.19). Faure was the defending Class 4-A champion.
"The Laramie runner just went out and took the lead," Dayton said. "He never looked back.
Ricky thought that he could catch him in the last third mile. He just didn't come back to him."
The Wolverines were 11th in the team standings with 274 points.
Laramie finished in the top spot (36 points), and Rock Springs came in second (52).

text: Hey guys, I am sure this topic may be buried somewhere in this forum, but I was interested in getting a compact Glock. I am not interested in the subcompacts as I have larger hands and don't want that small of a handgun. My question to all of you is do you guys prefer the G19 or the G23 and why? I currently own a G21 and although I love to shoot it I would like a lighter and smaller carry gun that doesn't feel like you have a 2x4 in your hands and tucks away slightly better. Anybody that has had experience with both, your advice and opinions will be greatly appreciated.

(Soon also the new .50 caliber). To achieve this, during the manufacture of filling
- A new still unprecedented in other spheres formula - Killer PaintballsTM uses
only the highest quality materials available. The result is the production of each
together perfectly round, duty, hard-wearing, but easy to
clear the ball. By using the latest manufacturing process
technology called CMR (Mould Climate Response) is a shell beads
resistant to almost all weather conditions, while maintaining its
excellent regardless of climatic conditions.
Recently Killer PaintballsTM introduced as a filling for a new ball
formula - PEG 400 - which is slightly heavier than the world standard
paint filling. Application of this formula means that the ball flies
further, with greater speed and crashes for every time!
These are the balls KILLER!
What do you know? .50 cal paint. Maybe not such a bad company. Seems like 'RPS Premium" in the farther east regions.

I like the blood color fill...What, it looks realistic. I just don't see how this gives paintball a bad name.? >_>
Then people think paintball is all about killing and rape. Then it gets banned for violence. It gives little kids the idea's to shoot everyone up just to copy war or FPS games.

If I have no heat in my rental can I be made to wait several days for a repair?
Question Details:
I'm renting an apartment in Park City, UT. My water heater went out this afternoon which controls my water heat, but heats my apartment also. I called maintenance and they said my water heater is new and still under warranty but the plumber will not come out until Monday. They told us to just use our gas fireplace and space heater until then. Now we have no hot water and limited heat and it's Saturday night and 24 degrees outside. Is it legal for them to make us wait this long to get our water heater repaired?
Reasonableness is the standard for repairs unless your local city ordinance in Park City gives a specific time frame in which such repairs must be made. You also have the right (should you choose if the landlord won't fix in a time frame in which your health will be most certainly jeopardized), to repair it yourself (i.e., hire a repair person and deduct that amount from your rent for the month).
Check Park City's regulations on such matters. If you cannot find it, contact the Health Inspector's office immediately.

The third-ranked Tennessee Volunteers started the ITA Kick-Off Weekend with a 6-1 victory over San Diego on Friday at the Goodfriend Tennis Center.
The Vols (2-0) face Clemson on Saturday at 3 p.m., and the winner of that match will advance to the ITA National Team Indoor Championships in Seattle.
"We're not trying to peak right now," Tennessee head coach Sam Winterbotham said. "We're trying to get stronger. We're trying to get fitter. We're nowhere near where we need to be, but you've got to compete. I feel like we competed today."
The Vols took an early 1-0 lead after taking the doubles point for the 15th consecutive match. Tennessee then built a 3-0 lead thanks to two fast wins by sophomores Edward Jones and Tennys Sandgren.
The only point Tennessee lost was when senior Matteo Fago dropped his match on court 4 in straight sets to Clarke Spinosa.
Jones was off court first with a 6-1, 6-1 win against Nils Schive on court 6, and Sandgren continued his impressive spring when he beat Patrick Pohlmann 6-2, 6-2. He has won 7 of 8 matches this month.
Senior John-Patrick Smith rallied in the second set to clinch the match at 4-1 with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Nikola Bubnic. Smith, who also clinched the season-opener against East Tennessee State last week, won his 130th career singles match.
After the match was clinched, Tennessee wrapped up a pair of three-set matches. Senior Boris Conkic beat Thibaut Visy 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 on court 5, and sophomore Rhyne Williams extended his winning streak to 10 matches with a 6-4, 1-6, 6-2 victory over No. 31 Dean Jackson on court 1.
With the victory, the Vols extended their home winning streak to 25 matches. Their last loss came in 2009 against Kentucky in a non-conference match.
San Diego (2-1) entered the day ranked 47th nationally, but the Toreros featured a deep lineup with Jackson ranked in singles and a top-10 doubles team. The loss was their first of the season.
"They played great, didn't they? You just look at their lineup," Winterbotham said. "Their coaches have good experience of what it takes to be the best team. Brett (Masi) has coached on the USC team that won the national championship, so he knows what he's doing.
"We know they were going to be ready for us. We knew they were going to be prepared. And they were good."
In doubles, Williams and Sandgren led the way at No. 2 for the Vols, quickly earning an 8-2 win against Bubnic and Schive.
Smith and Conkic clinched the point with an 8-4 victory over seventh-ranked Jackson and Pohlmann. The Vols top duo is not yet ranked
"They controlled the match," Winterbotham said. "JP and Boris are a very good team. We know that. Everybody knows. Because they haven't played all fall, they're not ranked. They're going to play like a No. 1 team throughout the year. They're going to face some great teams and they're going to take some lumps, but they're going to be good."
Notes: The win was Sam Winterbotham's 96th as head coach of the Vols. He is on pace to become the fastest UT tennis coach to reach 100 career wins ... Boris Conkic now has 94 victories in both singles and doubles. He is trying to become the fourth Vol to ever reach 100 wins in both categories ... John-Patrick Smith's win was his 20th of the season. Last year, he finished with a career-best 41 victories.

I have been using Ubuntu since 6.10 I know it and I myself have no problems with it but the fact it hasn't been changed but Ubuntu is trying to get more users over to Linux makes no sense to me.
I have been using Ubuntu since 6.10 I know it and I myself have no problems with it but the fact it hasn't been changed but Ubuntu is trying to get more users over to Linux makes no sense to me.
Gimp sucks compared to Photoshop and so forth.
the scatter approach to installing applications makes no sense for example. have one folder named Program Files and keep all the program files there. Simple.Code:The file system doesn't make sense, if you are used to the way Windows hides most of the important directories in /Windows. After you've spent several years using a Linux distribution, the file system makes a lot more sense than the Windows file system.
File structure designs are unimportant to the average user.
Gimp and other free software only "suck" because they have to tip toe through the landmine field of potential patent/copyright issues.
as far is avoiding WINE is concerned right now I'm looking at a few programs that I use a lot on my Windows/7 machine that I've not found substitutes for:
- Browser: all I ever use is FIREFOX anyway
- eMail: all I ever use is THUNDERBIRD anyway
- Office: all I ever use is LibreOffice anyway
- FileDirectory Service: I use Explorer2 -- which will be missed
- WS-FTP the FTP plug-in for FIREFOX is adequate
- ULTRAEDIT -- I bet they have a Linux version -- although for most needs GEDIT is OK
- CLIPMATE -- archive system for ^C cuts -- will be badly missed
- FILESEEK -- Fuzzy searching text thru multiple directories -- need equivalent
- MusicBee -- the Rhythm Box is not a replacement for this
- AUDACITY -- available on Linux
- Canon: camera utilities -- needed
- IRFANVIEW -- needed
at this point my plan is to continue use of the existing Windows7 computer OFFLINE.
do you have some statistic on this? it doesn't seem like it would be that big of a deal to switch over to a different one. having to each users that /bin is where software goes instead of having a one folder for programs called Program Files is pretty strange. There is really no reason not to switch over if not at least offering a fork to see how it is embraced.File structure designs are unimportant to the average user.
Storage of temporary program data such as configurationswhat is the Program Data directory for?
doesn't make them suck any less.Gimp and other free software only "suck" because they have to tip toe through the landmine field of potential patent/copyright issues.
I don't find the Windows file system structure at all intuitive. There probably are better ways to structure a filesystem than what LSB lays down, but it sure isn't the Windows way.
Keep in mind that Linux was designed as a multi-user operating system, so programs have to be installed, where all users have access to them.

Try talking to the average person about file systems and their various designs, and see how long it takes them to eagerly get away from you, or change the subject to something more interesting like football or music or movies.do you have some statistic on this?
Neither was it designed to provide a computer for controlling telephone switching, although it was later adapted to that purpose along with many others. The original purpose was to allow Ritchie and Thomspon to continue playing a game they had created on MIT's MULTICS system where both had been on-site representatives of BTL. When Bell pulled out of the MULTICS project, they found an unused mini and created their own single-user version of MULTICS in order to continue playing the game. Then, to justify keeping the system in service, they got other folk to use it for text editing and the forerunner of desktop publishing.
Kernighan suggested the name as a sort of anti-pun on single-user versus multi-user, and it stuck. He and P. J. "Bill" Plauger then wrote "Software Tools" which was the first book to expound what has come to be known as "the Unix philosophy" of stringing together many small programs, each of which does just one thing but does it well, to accomplish large goals. It's still very worthwhile reading despite being 36 years old this year!
BTL was a real center of computing advancement in the 70s and 80s; it's too bad that the avarice of AT&T management kept it from becoming as widely known as other hotspots of the times!

My MS fiberglass helm has a small hairline crack forming at an inside corner of the visor cut out.
The yellow line I drew represents the crack, as it doesn't show up well in pics. (Time to invest in a macro lens I guess!)
The crack goes all the way through to the other side. If I flex the mandible a tad, it really shows and threatens to crack more. This will not be a good thing when it comes time to bend the helm for visor install.
So what can I use here? Bondo? Or is there some other stuff recomended to fix FG helms?
Thanks much.

Montelifre' 2
Loc. Montelifre', Montisi SI, Italy
Property Ref:
Main picture for Montelifre' 2
Description of Montelifre' 2Typical and welcoming apartments inside the tiny picturesque hamlet of Montelifrť, situated on the top of a gently sloping Sienese hill which is itself dominated by the ruins of a castle dating back to the year 1000. A few years ago, after a period in which it was partly abandoned, the present owners, a Sienese noble family, through which the property has been handed down since 1300, began to restore the hamlet and the surrounding areas. Today the little hamlet is inhabited only by the owners and by the guests of the three apartments who can use the lawns and, shared with the owners, the swimming pool (6x12) situated on a sunny terracement below the hamlet, in an isolated position. Every apartment has an equipped terrace with a table for outside dining. During restoration the old wooden beams and terracotta floors were maintained whilst the furnishings include several period pieces and old prints. Extensive views over the countryside. Peaceful position. Wonderful walks. Two bicycles and a baby-bed are available. It is possible to add a folding bed or divan bed in each apartment (to be requested at the time of booking and to be paid for on the spot to the owner). Location: Several villages and cities of art can be found in the radius of a few kilometers: 30 km Montalcino (renowned for its Brunello wine), 18 km Pienza, 22 km Montepulciano, 45 km Siena. 2 km Montisi and Trequanda (food shops).

Given the state of this world in which Americans rush to purchase assault rifles and other such materials of death, it is not surprising that a woman in Sweden has reached the conclusion she prefers dead to living people. A 37 year old woman collects bones of dead people and some times places them in bed with her in order to enjoy the presence of death. Heck, Americans insist they prefer having a gun in their bedroom to a spouse who can get one sexually aroused. After all, what is a more powerful sexual presence than a nice gun by your side as you sleep.
This woman collects bones in the same manner that Americans collect guns. The boy who went on a rampage in Connecticut had a mother who possessed five guns and apparently they were within touching presence of her disturbed son. So, what is wrong about a woman who sleeps with bones, hugs bones and gets sexually aroused when touching bones? She is no different than the NRA man who lovingly touches and cradles his gun. Both get turned on by death.

Welcome to The Reasons To Be A Vegan*…
…a website dedicated to educating you about the many benefits and good reasons to be a vegan.
(*note: The site is brand new, thus it has very limited content. But I wanted to let you start to visit as soon as possible because I believe this information is important and life-changing. I'll be adding more reasons to be a vegan very frequently, so stay tuned and visit often.)
Among the two main dietary schools of thought, pro-vegan and anti-vegan, there remains a large amount of discussion about the health benefits and risks associated with a vegan, plant-based diet. A lot of the debate is not based on facts or science, but rather on hunches, suspicion, tradition and even simple stubbornness. The aim of TheReasonsToBeAVegan is to provide you with information and resources on the truth about living a vegan lifestyle. And while there are two main views on what it means to be a true vegan, I will be discussing it primarily from the perspective of health and nutrition, though that doesn't exclude ethical and environmental reasons.
Of all the reasons to be a vegan, none is so compelling to me as the health benefits you can reap as a result of choosing a vegan diet, also known as a plant-based diet. So, what are some of these benefits? Some of the benefits don't even require scientific evidence, and are probably obvious to you since you've found this website.
Beneficial Reasons To Be A Vegan:
- less fat in the diet
- more fiber in the diet
- more vitamins in the diet
- decreased blood cholesterol (plant-based foods contain very little cholesterol – approximately 1-5% that of animal-based foods)
- "regularity"
- normalized body weight (and I can attest to that. I lost 14 pounds in 45 days when I became vegan, and I was already vegetarian to begin with.)
- even reduced medical expenses
Despite the name on the website, I'm not here to convince you to be vegan. That, of course, is your choice. I have personally found so many reasons to be a vegan I could do no else than to change myself and share what I have learned with you. In fact, when I first decided to eat a plant-based diet I didn't even think about the term vegan at all. That didn't dawn on me till some months later. The Reasons To Be A Vegan website is simply here to assist you in your own education and answer questions about the reasons to be a vegan at all. I know you must have a lot of questions. Why bother? Haven't people been eating animal foods for thousands of years? Where will I get my protein? What about vitamin B12? These are all excellent questions that need to be asked, and answered.
Reasons To Be A Vegan Explorer
As we move forward on this journey, here are some of the exciting topics we will explore together at The Reasons To Be A Vegan:
- Meat. Is it necessary?
- Hunger, and how to avoid it!
- Protein
- What to eat
- Dessert!
- And many more to come
It is my hope that you will find many realistic, fact-based reasons to be a vegan during your visit and that you will enjoy enlightenment and encouragement for the path ahead.

Monday, August 24, 2009
ANADARKO, Okla. A pastor in southwest Oklahoma was killed and her body was found inside her church, but authorities had few leads in the investigation, officials said.
The body of Carol Daniels was found Sunday inside the Christ Holy Sanctified Church in Anadarko. The small A-frame building sits along a main road in the Caddo County town of about 6,600 people, which is about 60 miles southwest of Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Jessica Brown said Daniels had trauma to her body, but officials did not disclose details about the killing, including how, when or where she died.
Investigators said they have no suspects in Daniels' death and few leads to follow. Officials on Sunday spoke with several people who gathered around the building after word about the slaying spread. Many of them wept and hugged each other.
Brown said Daniels, who was in her mid-50s, lived in Oklahoma City and drove to the church each Sunday for services.
Mitchell Pendarvis, who lives next door to the church, was surprised to hear about the killing.
"I don't know what to think and I'm trying to think," Pendarvis said. "I mean, who would do this to this woman?"

When bad things happen, they almost always catch people off guard! Otherwise, they wouldn't have been targeted.
Carrying everyday just helps to kick your SA up a notch or two.
For this to happen to a woman pastor just goes to show that you have to be brutal and fight back. They are not going to show you any mercy and you can not afford to offer them any.

The pastor lady was stabbed to death. She was 61 years old. There was a TV shot of the church and neighborhood on todays' news. Recognized the church and area from my travels. That church is near a very rough part of town.
The police are totally tight lipped about the details of the murder.
And the perp got clean away? Guess he won't hesitate to do it again.
There is a lot missing in this story.
Why did they notify all the pastors in the area?
What is the real threat?
What is the motive? Was the pastor killed because she was black? female? pastor? Took a stand on crime? Took a stand on other issues?
What about businesses next to/near churches? Are they also in danger?
BTW...what are the laws in OK for carrying in a church?

Church carry is OK in Oklahoma unless there is a sign on the door. Lots of us pack in church.

Its Media Day!
Today is Cavs Media day.
I'll be posting pictures as I get em
Today is Cavs Media day.
I'll be posting pictures as I get em
On September 11th the Cavaliers announced the addition of their new Home Gold Jerseys.
For a jersey fanatic like myself and also for someone who loves the wine and gold, knowing I'll get to see my Cavs sporting home gold is darned near a dream come true.
Something must have happened between the 80's and present-day the made the Lakers the only team allowed to have a home jersey that wasn't white. The Warriors added an alt gold as well and it sure is good to see the Cavs followed suit.
My only gripe is that the Jersey says "CAVS" and not "Cavaliers"
Its been added to the Jersey page and has a page of its own here.
Here are some pics to enjoy (Below)
You can buy them already from the Cavs here
So the new CavFanatics Jersey (kit as the futbol folks call it) had their debut yesterday vs. the Knickerbockers… and they are again a combination of colors that were never meant to be together.
Its page lives here
The jersey page is here
The breakdown: They look to be a combo of the 1987-1994 "Price Era" jerseys and the present day Uni's. The 80's blue with the modern rendition of wine and gold. What I thought really looked good is the bringing back of the CAVS on the front. I don't think we should ever go back to CAVS on our primary home uni, but I like the idea of it on the alternate. If it gets a good response, we could see it used again once we are allowed to introduce an alternate jersey next year (league makes you wait 2 years after changing your jerseys before you can introduce an alt).
Verdict: All in all, they are OK I guess. Not great, but not bad.
Definitely not as bad as last years abomination or even the originals.
The whole CavFanatic jersey thing is a weird thing. Is the organization going to end up with a hundred different jerseys? At this rate they will. We are already up to 30 (THIRTY?!?!?) jerseys in the history of the organization (actually 31 if you count the one game they did Miracle Jersey throwbacks in 1997).
So anyways, yeah. I already ordered mine (rocking an Irving #2). It'll be here next week.
Go Cavs
Check the link
Please note that is TWO games he's come dressed in a full Cavs uniform. If anybody gets how to be loved by CLE fans, its this dude.
No idea why it took me so long to add this page (other than it was a pain in the ass to draw). But here it is: the 2010-2011 CavFanatic Jersey.
So, its basically a mashup of the 2005-2010 Alternate Jerseys with the 90's Jersey's colors. Enjoy.
All the Jerseys are here
They look awesome, but that is a lot of scratch
Buy them here.

Really loving the new jerseys, but the stylized "c-sword" looks out of place. I betcha that goes away in the next couple years.

Creating an Opening in Solid Brick Wall for HVAC Ductwork
I am in the planning stages of a small addition to our 1930s Washington, DC brick rowhouse. The walls are double wythe brick.
For the purposes of the addition, we will need to bring electrical, plumbing (both supply and drain) and HVAC from the existing house into the new section. I am not worried about the electrical or even the plumbing as the holes are relatively small, less than 4" round, but I am nervous about the HVAC because it requires a larger opening.
To accommodate the addition I need approximately 300 cfm of supply, so I will need to penetrate the brick wall with either a 9" round duct or a 8"x8" rectangular duct, so the hole would need to be a bit larger, of course.
Is this too large? Would such a penetration require a lintel? Any suggestions?
That size is no problem. You could build a Welsh arch over the gap to look good.
Excellent. Thanks! It won't actually be visible at all. This will be above the ceiling drywall.

Justice Dept. to White House officials: Ignore Congress
By Richard B. Schmitt, Los Angeles Times
Broadly-worded legal opinion says Bush lawyer and maybe others can disregard subpoenas.
Washington - In a broadly worded legal opinion, the Justice Department has concluded that President Bush's former top lawyer, and possibly other senior White House officials, can ignore subpoenas from Congress to testify about the U.S. attorneys affair.
The three-page opinion raises questions about whether the Justice Department would prosecute senior administration officials if Congress voted to hold them in contempt for not cooperating with the investigation into the firing last year of eight top prosecutors.
The opinion was prepared this week by the department's Office of Legal Counsel, in response to questions from former White House counsel Harriet E. Miers, who was subpoenaed to testify Thursday before the House Judiciary Committee. Miers told the panel in a letter faxed Tuesday night that she would not be appearing, citing the Justice memo and advice from the White House.
Under the law, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia decides whether to pursue contempt of Congress cases. While that official can exercise independent judgment, some legal experts said it might be hard to ignore the opinion from the legal counsel office, whose decisions are often viewed as controlling throughout the federal government.
Others said that, as an alternative, lawmakers might seek the appointment of an independent special counsel to investigate any contempt charges.
The legal opinion surfaced as another former White House official, Sara M. Taylor, testified Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee about the U.S. attorney case. Taylor was the White House political director and reported to long-time Bush counselor Karl Rove.
Like Miers, Taylor was ordered by the White House earlier this week not to answer Congress's questions concerning internal deliberations about the fired prosecutors.
During her appearance, however, and periodically consulting with her lawyer, she tried to walk a legal tightrope, answering what she described as "fact-based" questions, in an apparent effort to dissuade committee members from finding her in contempt.
She testified, for example, that she had never discussed the firings with Bush or attended meetings with the president where the issue was discussed.
"I don't believe that anybody in the White House did any wrongdoing," she said, describing the firings as "awkwardly handled."
Taylor said she did not personally add or remove names to the list of prosecutors to be dismissed. But she declined to answer when asked who was responsible for preparing the list.
She said she received complaints from persons outside the White House about U.S. attorneys but could not recall specific phone calls. She acknowledged writing an e-mail in which she called one of the fired U.S. attorneys "lazy." She testified that she regretted the remark.
Democrats said they found answers of the former aide to be self-serving, and that they were still considering holding Taylor in contempt.
"You seem to be selective in the use of the presidential privilege," said Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md.. "It seems like you're saying that, 'Yes, I'm giving you all the information I can,' when it is self-serving to the White House, but not allowing us to have the information and make independent judgments."
House members were hoping that, like Taylor, Miers would choose to answer at least some questions, too. They said her decision not to appear at all was unexpected.
Correspondence released by the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday showed that Miers, through her lawyer, had asked White House counsel Fred Fielding whether she had to attend the hearing to personally assert the privilege. After consulting the Justice Department, Fielding wrote back saying that Miers had "absolute immunity from compelled Congressional testimony" and that "the president has directed her not to appear."
The position prompted an angry response from House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., and Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., the chair of the commercial and administrative law subcommittee.
"We are aware of absolutely no court decision that supports the notion that a former White House official has the option of refusing to even appear in response to a Congressional subpoena," Conyers and Sanchez wrote to George Manning, Miers' lawyer. "A refusal to appear ... could subject Ms. Miers to contempt proceedings."
Miers, who left the White House in January, was counsel to the President in the winter of 2005 when the fate of the U.S. attorneys in Bush's second term was first being discussed. The White House has said that Miers once suggested that all 93 U.S. attorneys be dismissed.
Some legal experts said they disagreed with the sweeping privilege that the administration was claiming.
"The privilege does not entitle you to refuse to appear. The privilege entitles you to refuse to answer questions when you appear if those questions call for privileged information," said Stephen Gillers, a legal ethics professor at New York University law school. "No one can claim the privilege entitles you to ignore the body that subpoenas you."
"Miers should show up," said Mark Rozell, a political science professor and expert on executive privilege at George Mason University. "There is no reason that she cannot answer questions about matters unrelated to presidential confidentiality and then refuse certain questions that she believes violate those principles."
The Justice Department memo cited a 1999 opinion of then Attorney General Janet Reno in which Reno concluded that the White House did not have to turn over documents to Congress about a decision by President Clinton to commute the prison sentences of 16 members of a Puerto Rican nationalist group convicted of bomb-making and other crimes.
Reno held that since the pardon power was an exclusive right of the executive branch that Congress had no right to the documents.
While Bush has the power to hire and fire U.S. attorneys, some observers said the two cases were not necessarily comparable.
Unlike the pardon power, Congress has "constitutional authority to create and regulate the general conditions of appointment and removal for U.S. attorneys," said Peter Shane, a professor at Ohio State law school. "Moreover, it is entitled to investigate whether executive branch officials who have already testified under oath have testified truthfully."

DonP When in the course of human events it becomes evident that tyranny has succesfully usurped government of the people by the people and for the people. When the courts, the justice department, the military and the legislative branches are subservient or coopeted by the unitery executive, the President can rightly look them in the eye and say with all sincerity "FUC* YOU" He has and does daily. So What?

KANO, (Xinhua):- One person was killed in an apparent suicide bomb attack near the palace of the Emir of Kano in northwestern Nigeria on Wednesday night, military authorities in the state reported.
Spokesperson of the military Joint Task Force (JTF) in Kano State Captain Ikedichi Iweha confirmed the attack to Xinhua on phone and said one of the two suspected bombers rode an explosive- laden tricycle to carry out the dastardly act.
The explosion occurred at a place called Kofar Fatalwa, near the Kano Central Mosque, which is a stone's throw from the emir's palace, he said.
The emir is regarded as the most revered religious and traditional leader of people of the northern state.
One of the suspected bombers was lynched and later burnt alive by an angry mob which scurried to the scene, defying effects of the loud blast, a resident identified as Musa Ibrahim told Xinhua.
"The other suspect has been handed over to the security agents, " Ibrahim said.
Although it was unclear if the latest attack was targeted at the emir, Xinhua learnt it occurred a few minutes after the Islamic evening prayer held at the central mosque where the religious leader holds prayer every week.
In January, the emir escaped death by a whisker when some gunmen laid ambush to attack his convoy on a northern route, killing some of his guards.
He sustained minor injuries from the attack and recently returned to the west African country after receiving treatment abroad.
Although no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, the Wednesday night explosion occurred barely 12 hours after Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan approved the constitution of a 26-member committee to constructively engage key members of the Boko Haram sect in fruitful dialogue and define a comprehensive and workable framework for resolving the crisis of insecurity in the northern part of the west African country.

This GRC is designed to attract biofilm and microbial mat researchers, microbiologists, early life paleontologists, stromatolite sedimentologists, geochemists, and astrobiologists with the aim to explore the living Earth and its ancestry. We hope that this fruitful engagement will inspire the next generation of geo- and astrobiologists. Biofilms and sediment-stabilizing microbial mats pioneered microbe-mineral interactions that led to sedimentary structures such as microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) and stromatolites. Evidence for their activities may be found in banded iron formations, cherts, sandstones, and carbonate rocks. Isotope geochemistry and the study of biomolecules reveal the origins and evolution of metabolic pathways of early life. Biomineralization began as microbe mineral interactions that were later exploited by eukaryotes to form structural body parts allowing for further colonization of the planet. Understanding how these geobiological processes have left their mark on our planet Earth provides the clues for Astrobiologists to explore life on other planets.

I think its 'must be' to filter videos by 'has music insluded'.
I feel a little non-respected when I see 'you must buy music seperatly' on 90%-99% (actualy I havent found even 1 good project with music included for about 1 hour) of videos, especially when I see 'contact audio author for mixed for this video version'.
I think AE is not video software – its movies (video + audio) software, so why AE 'project' is indded non usable at all when bought alone. It has no audio with it and is priced as 'project'?
On themeforest.net where I'm author if I need to add some paid plugin to my 'project' I need to buy commercial licence for it. There is no 'you need to buy those 4 plugins to use this theme'.
For me, AE project should be start-end usable as is. Dear authors should buy commercial licence for their music and supply it with it or create their own music. Especially when video is 'hard-joined' with music that its previewed with and its extremly hard to make/find anything that will fit to same way.
Lets discuss.
What is the issue? If AE project isr $25 and music is $17 it's still just $42 totally. Is it too expesive or not convinient to do few purchases instead of one? Many other assets usually not included: fonts, pictures, footage, logos,.. I don't think even 50% of customers use the same music as it was linked in the project.
P.S. My AE project (I still have the one only) have music included.
Best Regards, Andrey

Is it possible to modify it somehow to not auto power off? I'd like to use it to permanently power a intermittent 9v operated drip watering device I have and don't want it to turn off at some point and stop watering the plants.
No public wish lists :(

The Films of Kenneth Anger - Vol. 1 (Video) Fireworks (1947), made when Kenneth Anger was only 17 during a long weekend when his parents were away, with footage stolen from the U.S. Navy, is the earliest of his works to survive. It is a homo-erotic dream within a dream in which a young man, through a series of violent and ecstatic encounters, undergoes his rite of passage. Anger himself plays The Dreamer. It remains one of his best works for its emotional maturity and visual wit. "This flick is all I have to say about being 17, the United States Navy, Christmas and the Fourth of July." - Kenneth Anger. 14 minutes, tinted B&W. Rabbit's Moon (1950): In 1950, Anger attempted suicide in Paris. Rabbit's Moon is a transposed, highly poeticized transposition of that incident. It was shot in the studio belonging to director Jean-Pierre Melville which had been lent to anger. After a few days of shooting, Melville unexpectedly reclaimed his studio, although the film was not completed, Moon remained a "lost" film for 20 years until Anger finally edited it in 1970, then adding a musical score. This disturbing fable takes place in an extraordinary, tinselly forest, somewhat similar in texture to the fairy woodland in A Midsummer Night's Dream (1935), in which Anger appeared as a child actor. A fable of the unattainable (the Moon) combining elements of Commedia dell'Arte with Japanese myth. A lunar dream utilizing the classic pantomime figure of Pierrot in an encounter with a prankish, enchanted Magick Lantern. An enchanting film featuring Harlequin and Columbine, this version is the rarely seen original released in 1972. This is the 1950 short version: 7 minutes, tinted B&W. Eaux D'Artifice (1953): Tuned to Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, a Baroque lady flits in and out of Rome's Tivoli Fountain until she melts into the waters. A technical and atmospheric masterpiece. "Hide and seek in a night-time labyrinth of levels, cascades, balusrades, grottoes, and ever-gushing leaping fountains, until the water witch and the fountain become one." - Kenneth Anger. The film was shot in black & white and printed through a blue filter and the Lady's "Fan of Exorcism" was hand-tinted by Anger. Of all his works, this is perhaps the most abstract: the rushing, flowing, trickling waters become interesting as shapes and rhythms. An opposite retelling of Anger's masterpiece, Fireworks. 13 minutes, tinted B&W Out of Print. VERY LIMITED SUPPLY! US shipping $1 first class. International us$3. $29.99.
The Films of Kenneth Anger - Vol. 2 (Video) Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954). A hallucinatory Dionysic and Eucharistic ritual with multi-layered imagery in which magicians appear as figures from mythology and engage in an Orgia orchestrated by Lord Shiva. "A convocation of magicians assume the identity of gods and goddesses in a Dionysian revel. Lord Shiva, the magician, awakes. The Scarlet Woman, whore of heaven, smokes a big, fat joint; Astarte of the moon brings the wings of snow; Pan bestows the grapes of Bacchus; Hecate offers the sacred mushroom, yage, wormwood brew. The vintage of Hecate is poured. Pan's cup is poisoned by Lord Shiva. The orgy ensues - a magick masquerade at which Pan is the prize. Lady Kali blesses the rites of the children of light as Lord Shiva invokes the godhead with the formula 'Force and Fire'. Dedicated to the few; and to Aleister Crowley; and the crowned and conquering child." - Kenneth Anger. Anger's close friend Anais Nin is featured as Astarte! The film is derived from one of Crowley's dramatic rituals where people in the cult assume the identity of a god or a goddess. In other words, it's the equivalent of a masquerade party - they plan this for a whole year and on All Sabbath's Eve, they come as gods and goddesses that they have identified with and the whole thing is like an improvised happening. This is the actual thing the film is based on. 38 minutes. COLOR. Out of Print. VERY LIMITED SUPPLY! US shipping $1 first class. International us$3. $29.99.
The Films of Kenneth Anger - Vol. 3 (Video) Kustom Kar Komandos (1965): Anger's take on the California teenager's obsession with the customized car, an elegant hymn to the hot rod as contemporary fetish-object. A young man strokes his customized car with a powder puff. "Pygmalion and his machine mistress." - Kenneth Anger. Kustom Kar Kommandos was originally to be an eight part, 30 minute film which Anger described as an erotic vision of a contemporary American (and specifically Californian) teenage phenomenon, the world of hot-rod and customized cars. Anger made the episode presently shown as Kustom Kar Kommandos to raise funds to finish the film, but was unable to do so and the project was abandoned. 3 minutes. COLOR. Puce Moment (1949): A beautiful Hollywood star in a shimmering dress prepares to walk her dogs. "A lavish colored evocation of Hollywood now gone, as shown through an afternoon in the milieu of the 1920's film star." - Kenneth Anger. Puce Moment is a fragment from an abandoned film project entitled Puce Woman. The soundtrack used here is the second one: the first was the overture to Verdi's I Villi. The film reflects Anger's concerns with the myths and decline of Hollywood as well as with the ritual of dressing with the movement from the interior to the exterior and with color and sound synchronization. Although it was made in 1949, it is placed in Anger's Magick Lantern Cycle after Invocation of My Demon Brother, in with light subject matter, and a longer film with a shorter one. As well, the descending movement of the film star at the end of Puce Moment, which is recapitulated and reversed in the ascension of Lilith in the following - and final- film Lucifer Rising, and the featuring of women in these two works make an interesting and successful juxtaposition. 6 minutes. COLOR. Scorpio Rising (1963): A ritual in four parts using a motorcycle gang, juxtaposed with mythic figures from Hollywood, politics and religion, as its central force, with commentary in the form of thirteen 1950's and '60's pop songs. A critique of American culture, demonstrates Anger's ironic use of soundtrack, including music by Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, and The Crystals. "A 'death mirror' held up to American culture - Brando, bikes and black leather; Christ, chains and cocaine. A 'high' view of the myth of the American motorcyclist. The machine as totem from toy to terror. Thanatos in chrome and black leather and bursting jeans." - Kenneth Anger. In 1962, Anger began to make Scorpio Rising. He did research on motorcycling and became friendly with a group of Brooklyn bikers who he says were "terribly touched by anyone that shows any interest in the thing they dig" and called them "the last romantics of this particular culture," the equivalent of cowboys. When first shown, the film caused numerous scandals and lawsuits - and not merely because of the brief male nudity: perhaps the most bizarre suit came from the American Nazi Party which claimed that Anger had desecrated the swastika! 28 minutes, COLOR. Out of print. VERY LIMITED SUPPLY! US shipping $1 first class. International us$3. $29.99.
The Films Kenneth Anger - Vol. 4 (Video) Invocation of my Demon Brother (1969): An homage to Aleister Crowley, reworking footage originally shot for Lucifer Rising which was Anger's last completed film. "A conjuration of pagan forces come off the screen in a surge of spiritual and mystical power. Shadowing forth of Lord Lucifer, as the powers gather at a midnight mass." - Kenneth Anger. In 1967, the footage for Anger's Lucifer Rising was stolen by Anger's Lucifer, Bobby Beausoleil, who was later convicted for his participation in the Charles Manson murders. After a severe depression and a public renunciation of filmmaking via a full-page In Memoriam in the Village Voice, Anger entered a new period of productivity during which he made Invocation from the original Lucifer Rising. 11 minutes. COLOR. Lucifer Rising (1970-1980) The ascension of Lucifer (Horus), Bringer of Light, invoked by Isis, Osiris, Lucifer's Adept, Lilith and the Magus (played by Anger himself). "A film about the love generation - the birthday party of the Aquarian Age showing actual ceremonies to make Lucifer rise. Lucifer is the Light god, not the devil - the Rebel Angel behind what's happening in the world today. His message is that the key of joy is disobedience. Isis (Nature) wakes. Osiris (Death) answers. Lilith (Destroyer) climbs to the place of Sacrifice. The Magus activates the circle and Lucifer - Bringer of Light - breaks through." - Kenneth Anger. Lucifer Rising has been beset with problems: cast changes (Leslie Huggins, the present Lucifer, is also the fifth to play the role) have been complicated by stolen footage and financial woes. Over the years, several incarnations of the film have appeared. Kenneth Anger reedited this "revised edition" in 1980, adding a music track from his original Lucifer, Bobby Beausoleil and the Freedom Orchestra, a group of prisoners serving life sentences, recorded in Dueul Prison in Tracy, California. Lucifer Rising constitutes Kenneth Anger's glorious vision of the dawning of the Aquarian Age. 29 minutes, COLOR. Out of print. VERY LIMITED SUPPLY! US shipping $1 first class.

Anger The Unauthorized Biography of Kenneth Anger (Book) By Bill Landis. Known worldwide for his bestselling Hollywood Babylon books, Kenneth anger is an underground filmmaker whose tremendous influence has been acknowledged by directors as diverse as Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and Dennis Hopper. As the father and most highly regarded member of American cinema's avant-garde, Anger made three films now considered masterpieces: Fireworks, Scorpio Rising, and Lucifer Rising. More than forty years later his aesthetic ripple is still being felt in contemporary mediums such as rock videos.
Beginning with anger's life as a child actor in Hollywood (he was featured in A Midsummer Night's Dream with Mickey Rooney), Bill Landis's biography takes the reader on a wild journey from the beginning of the underground film movement in the United States and Europe through the equally underground gay world of the '40s and '50s to the '60s in London and San Francisco, when Anger was at his peak of fame, and up to the present. It's a trip filled with drugs, sex, rock & roll, and more than the usual dose of occultism. On the way, we encounter characters as diverse as Aleister Crowley, Anton LaVey, Dr. Alfred Kinsey, Anais Nin, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, Marianne Faithfull, and Bobby Beausoleil, the Manson murderer who was Anger's protege and a star of Lucifer Rising. With his unparalleled knowledge of this country's cinematic and cultural history, Bill Landis has achieved what few contemporary biographers have: a book that will prove to be as controversial as its famous subject. HarperCollins Publishers � 1995, 290 pages.
Bill Landis has written for the Soho Weekly News, Fangoria, Variety, the Village Voice, and Film Comment. His writing on AIDS and intravenous drug use have been reprinted in the books Beyond Crisis and the ACLU's Needle Exchange: Harm Reduction and HIV Prevention in the Second Decade. This is his first book.
Hollywood Babylon - I (The Movie) Docu-Drama. Renowned as the author of the scandalous best-selling book Hollywood Babylon, Kenneth Anger is a legend in his own time. The mythology that has grown around him has many sources, from his involvement with the occult, astrology and the pop world of Jagger, Marianne Faithful and Jimmy Page, to the announcement of his own death in the pages of the Village Voice, and the destruction, loss, and banning of his films. At the heart of all this mythology is a filmmaker of prodigious talent, whose skill and imagination create films of great visual force, influencing filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese, David Lynch and RW Fassbinder.
In both Europe and the United States, Anger became considered the most original, influential, and truly independent of all American film artists. This was the first docudrama based on his best-selling books by the same name.

Hollywood Babylon - I (The Book) by Kenneth Anger. � 1975 Kenneth Anger. Straight Arrow Books - Distributed by Simon and Schuster. 292 pages. "Hollywood Babylon is much more than a Who's Who of the movie capital. Its basic thrust is Who did What to Whom - and When and Where - and how much the piper had to be paid. Through these illustrated pages flitter and glitter, whirl and twirl, in public paradise and private hell, the faces and forms of fantasy figures - who may have been born in Squeedunk, Iowa as Norma Jean Slurp, Bertram Wartfish, and the like but who as Movie Stars were pressed into the service of our dreams by the great Hollywood Studios, the variegated caterpillars emerging as Jean Harlow, Ramon Navarro, Wally Reid, Rudy Valentino, Mabel Normand or Lana Turner. This fascinating books is not merely another expose, rather an affectionate and bittersweet backward glance at the fabled and foibled stars in their orbits, its intermittent black humor nearly always tinged by rose-colored glasses. Yet Hollywood Babylon is not nostalgia. Originally written in French and published in Paris in an edition long since out of print, the book was conceived years before the current nostalgia craze engulfed us in a neurotic flight from harsh realities.

Here is more down-and-dirty Tattletale Talk from Tinseltown, illustrated with hundreds of hitherto unseen photographs, by the man who turned filmland gossip into an art form. In Hollywood Babylon II you will read about "Closely Watched Blondes" which reveals some naughty going-on between Alfred Hitchcock and one of his favorite stars, Grace Kelly. Not merely another expose, Hollywood Babylon II, like its famous predecessor, is a bittersweet glance, past and present, at the fabled and foibled stars in their orbits.

Ana�s Observed A Portrait of Ana�s Nin. A film by Robert Snyder. Ana�s Nin is remembered for her surreal novels, her extensive diaries and her deep friendships with artists who helped shape modern consciousness. Hers was "the art of the person," an inner journey that she pursued through dreams, psychoanalysis and an awareness that embraced all aspects of the human character. An exponent of a distinctly female sensibility, she revealed her observations with unswerving grace and generosity. This portrait captures the life and philosophy of one of the most influential figures writing in America, a woman ahead of her time.
It shows Nin at work, at home, and talking with and about her influences: D.H. Lawrence, Otto Rank, Henry Miller, Lawrence Durrell, Martha Graham, Noguchi, Kenneth Anger, Maya Deren, Edmund Wilson, Lou Andreas-Salome and others. Her intelligence and femininity shine through in every frame.
