I was never a believer. God seemed too much like Santa Claus and other things I knew to be nonexistent.
For me...reading the bible and prayer -- on-my-knees-pleading-seeking-searching-childlike-blood-sweating-begging, and unanswered prayer. Between the two, I could not find the god that was supposed to exist, and the one that I did "see" was not worth the time of day, nor worship for that matter.
Raised Catholic, as a child I unconditionally believed all the dogma and stories I learned in Catholic school. Then again, I also believed in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy. It was when I learned neither was real that I started to question Catholicism. Several years later, my grandparents (who were devout Catholics and brought me nearly every week to church) had passed away. By then I had so many doubts about Catholicism, and although I loved and missed my grandparents dearly I finally felt free to seriously ponder these doubts. The idea that angered me the most was the whole "believe-or-go-to-hell" ultimatum. That clinched it for me. I was not about to let some old guy in a robe, or some old ladies in penguin suits, tell me what I can and cannot believe - to use my mortality as a weapon against me. I had considered other religions and found them to be just as bad, if not worse. Ultimately, I settled on science to explain the world around me. I have also accepted my mortal fate and shed the fear of knowing I will not live forever. Now, it comforts me to know that one day my conscious mind will succumb to the eternal peace of nothingness. I can think of no construct of heaven that can beat that.
"...to use my mortality as a weapon against me."
Well said, and they certainly did it.
"...other religions and found them to be just as bad, if not worse."
I tell curious xians "Catholicism had almost 2,000 years to work out answers to some hard questions; others xianities have had much less time."
"...the eternal peace of nothingness."
I won't be in a comfy rocking chair watching those crazy humans down there? I'm gonna cry.
I too settled on science to explain the world outside. After I got a degree in math, I realized I'd chosen it because too many people had told me what to believe and I would believe nothing without first proving it. For a while I disliked even statistics.
Has anyone ever asked if you're glad you'd been born?
I reply it's impossible to know because without being born I couldn't compare.
Thank you for the kind review. No, no one has ever asked me if I am glad I was born. You are right though about the lack of a basis of comparison in such a question. The trick there is to use emotion (in this case, the perceived sanctity of birth) to make it sound rhetorical, even though there is no valid answer that could be taken as obvious. This technique is the basis of much faulty logic, especially that which is perpetrated by organized religion.
As for sitting in a comfy rocking chair watching crazy humans: don't we do that already?
Until I was about 40, I watched politics and said "A pox on both your houses!"
When politicians told me to be quiet and pay my taxes (to make some rich folks richer) I became hyperactive.
Now 82, I'm less active but I don't rock and watch; I educate, adding "People who aren't part of a remedy are part of the problem."
Watching, and not hurling an occasional thunderbolt, would drive me nuts.
I would have been a child, probably preteen. My parents, who seldom went to church themselves, but still believed, sent me to Catholic Sunday School. I didn't want to be there. I remember getting caught skipping out once and spending the collection money on candy bars. But on an occasion when I did attend the class, I heard the following story: It seems that there was once a young girl. . . no doubt a temptess, a tool of Satan, who doubted the truth of the Eucharest. After the priest placed the "Host" in her mouth, Satan must have afflicted her with doubt, because she decided to cut it in half! She took it from her mouth on her way back to her pew and actually performed the unthinkable act! Took out the scisors and cut it in half! Blood spewed from the host! No doubt she begged for forgiveness and was converted to the truth on the spot! I have no doubt that she grew up to be a nun. I have a tip for future Sunday School "teachers": Don't use this one for 12 year old boys! Blood gushing from the host, right there in church! . . . Well, the temptation was to great for me! Had to see that! So, of course I tried it. No blood. Just a soggy host. But I did learn something. Gods chosen people lie!
I've always had my doubts about all things related to God or the supernatural, even when I was a kid. Not to say I didn't have a religious phase, but that was mostly for my mother's benefit. She hated it whenever I said I didn't believe in God. Now that she's gone I no longer have to keep the charade up. But I miss her terribly.
I think the first doubts crept in during the 8th grade. I failed catechism. The group met on wednesday nights at this man's house, and it was torture for me. I didn't see the point. One wednesday, i walked into his house and forgot that it was exam day at the church. His daughter screamed, and thought i was a burglar. He told me about the exam. I went there on my bike, and was late. The test givers were pissed and put me at the edge of the room near entrance. I failed the test, and remember not being scared. What will happen if I fail catechism? I didn't get kicked out of my public school, and god didn't reprimand me. So what's the big freakin deal here? I started thinking that i can do what i want and nothing will happen.
This will sound strange, but one of the first things that got me started on the road to skepticism was an ongoing online conversation I was having with a nutjob who thought the writings of a (relatively) recently deceased minister were divinely inspired and had actually superceded the Bible, being inspired by God in English without the complication of poor translations, interpolations, etc. His arguments for his position echoed my arguments for the divine inspiration of the Bible. I was able to show he was wrong by pointing out indisputable errors and falsehoods in the supposedly God-breathed writing of his minister idol, but in the back of my head I knew that I was also proving the Bible did not live up to the standard of divine inspiration that I held it to.
I ended up rationalizing my position by changing my definition of divine inspiration, allowing for the errors and opinions of man to creep into the writing.
Took a lot more time to work my way through the rest.

I woke up last Monday after a weekend of not much social media, and while checking my networks on the train to work I discovered that about 6m people had beaten me to watching Dumb Ways to Die, which could also be re-named as "the little train safety campaign that could".
As I type (a week later), it is sitting on a tidy 26,697,158 YouTube views. It's certainly getting a seat at the table of greatest viral campaigns ever.
That's no mean feat for a public transport authority in Melbourne, Australia, using an unknown artist, and no media spend. It seems to be targeting the youth market, and they appear to be going about it the right way.

Despite challenges and turbulence, adoption of real-time bidding (RTB) is growing and expectations are still high that RTB will be able to deliver on its promise.
One of the big questions that lingers, however, is just how big an impact will RTB have on the online advertising ecosystem outside of display. Take video, for instance. Skeptics make interesting points about RTB's potential shortcomings in the video space and suggest that RTB may not be as applicable to video.
Are the skeptics right? That remains to be seen, but in the meantime, RTB continues to make inroads in video. The latest example of that: yesterday VEVO announced the launch of an RTB platform that it will use to move unsold pre-roll ad inventory.

With an increasing number of retailers turning to the web to grow revenues and acquire customers, e-commerce competition is fiercer than ever before.
When online shoppers are browsing with intent to buy, retailers need to do everything they can to make the process informative and enjoyable, so offering the best possible browsing experience is crucial to keep customers spending.
We recently tested today's digital highstreet by surveying 1,000 consumers about their attitudes and personal experiences before benchmarking these findings against the performance of the UK's top 25 retailers.

Our Internet Statistics Compendium has seen another bumper update this month, with an impressive swathe of data focusing on the internet landscape in Australia.
The latest report released by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation (CCi) gives a comprehensive overview into how the internet has become integral to Australians as a social tool, a shopping platform and an entertainment channel since 2007.
Yet, it is the report's insight into audio and video trends which are some of the most interesting, with online perhaps not eating into consumption habits of traditional media as much as we might expect. Be sure to check out the Australia and New Zealand edition of our ISC for more from the region.

Product Description
51-Pc Max Axess Mechanics Tool Set Gives You the Power You Need
Give yourself the torque you need for a lifetime with the Craftsman 51-pc Max Axess mechanics tool set. These alloy steel pieces are rated more highly for strength than the most popular ratchet in the Craftsman line, and extension bars give you increased reach in tight spaces. The set's ultra thin profile and pass-through design let it slip easily over long bolts, meaning you won't have to carry a set of deep sockets. Despite the lean design, the ratchet is well balanced and turns easily.
With dozens of sockets, the 51-pc Max Axess mechanics tool set is not just a first set for beginners. It gives even experienced professionals the variety they'll need for most days on the job. The sturdy case makes it a great auto or on-the-go kit.
- The Craftsman 51-pc Max Axess mechanics tool set includes dozens of the most popular sockets, along with a ratchet with a rare combination of strength and low profile
- The set comes with 42 sockets in standard from 5/32 to 13/16 and metric from 3.5 to 19 mm
- It also includes a hollow shaft handle, three standard socket adapters, two extensions, two Go-Thru ratchets and a Go-Thru adapter
- The tools are alloy steel with a chrome finish
- The ultra-thin design fits over long bolts
- Adapts to all standard socket sets
- The ratchet is 45 percent stronger than the most popular Craftsman ratchet
- Comes in a briefcase-style carrying case

When I first saw this socket set, I knew that I had to get one. My father had an o-ratchet which I believe were the first pass thru ratchets. The craftsman max axess looks much better than the o-ratchet. Pros? What I love about this ratchet set is.... 1) go-thru feature. I have yet to have issue with any bolt/nut that fit a socket.. 2) polished ratchet style that makes it seem to be better quality over the regular craftsman ratchet... 3) 45% stronger than the regular ratchet. I can't test that but I will take their word. I believe it considering the contact points and pass-thru sockets are slighly larger... 4) All the other accessories are nice and work well. Go-thru adapters, extensions, hollow shaft handle and standard adapters are great additions... 5) Perfect carrying case. The tools can be grabbed easily as they don't click into the plastic which is a good thing but remain in their spots when case is closed. While someone else said that they could have made the case smaller, I disagree as the sockets "do a lap" around the case. It is only like 13" long so it is still very small case. Latches are nice and strong. Cons? None because the design of the tool could only do so much that it wouldn't be fair to subtract stars for something that is impossible to create. For example, the 3/8" max acess extension bar will only naturally be slightly larger than a regular extension bar. It is technically impossible to make it smaller or the same size as regular 3/8" extension bar because it needs to have a hole. That means I may not be able to fit the max axcess extension bar into a real tight spot like to get at some nut holding a cylinder head cover so don't necessarily think that you won't ever need regular long sockets. It may fit but you could really scuff up the extension bar. Also, I heard some poster complain that bolt would go through socket but not go through the ratchet. I could see that happening if one had to face a really long thick bolt and was using the handle and adapter. The handle hole is smaller but one shouldn't use a handle for such thick bolt task. You have to use the right driver ratchet for the job. For example, the 1/4" 13mm socket has a small hole while the 3/8" 13mm socket has a much bigger hole. Someone could put on a 13mm nut and actually be stopped because they simply used the wrong drive (1/4") instead of using the correct 3/8" drive. Not the tool's fault. Just look at the 2 holes and compare. The socket holes increase and get really large so it really shouldn't be an issue. The 3/8" racquet hole and extension perfectly lines up with the largest 7/8" socket hole. That has to be one huge bolt to be stopped. Someone else expected larger sockets and expected a more fine toothed ratchet? I think that is unrealistic expectations because this is a 3/8" drive ratchet and it goes upto 7/8" and 19mm and any more is a job for a 1/2" drive larger ratchet even though the 3/8" max axess drive is suppose to be stronger. How much is a really fine tooth pass thru ratchet and how much was this craftsman max axess set? I bet it is a big difference in price. Does a 3.5 degrees or over 100 tooth pass thru ratchet even exist? I never saw one. I highly recommend this socket set and you should be happy with it especially if you reasonable expectations. Just don't expect this set to completely replace your traditional set and deep sockets.

I was a bit skeptical since it is a new product but you cant go wrong with Craftsman. It gets the big job done, even though it is a small case, you no longer have to worry about not having the proper tools for the longer bolts.

I've used a similar system from Kobalt, and this is a superior product. The Kobalt wrenches crapped out on me, and these Craftsman one in this set seem way stronger.

first issue i had was with the socket release....the sockets were very hard to remove from the ratchet. Second issue was with the adapter peice that alowed me to use an existing extention and socket from another craftsman set....with minimal force the adapter bit was pushed backwards out of the ratchet as i was attemting to torque the bolt....making that set up useless.

Cottage Stripe Cotton Rug Collection by Dash & Albert
LOVE these rugs!
This is the 3rd Dash & Albert cottage stripe rug I've purchased from you. They are not only beautiful but also durable and hold up well to all our little dogs running around. Very fashionable & we
always get compliments from company.
October 28, 2013
I love this rug. The colors are great. It was on sale so it is a little spendy if you pay full price. It looks great in my entryway.
October 28, 2013
Best Rug Ever
I use this rug outside the front door. It still looks new and not even dirty after a full year outdoors. I would buy this brand over and over again. Colors are great!
September 2, 2013
Colorful and practical
This is a great addition of color by the sink and te refrigerator! Rug pads necessary, easy to clean!
September 1, 2013
pool house perfect
Purchased this for our pool house tile floor and could not be more satisfied. Nice colors, sturdy construction and looks just like it did on the web.
July 9, 2013
Brightened up our entryway!
So glad the rug has arrived and is adorning our entryway. It's much funner to come in and see how the colors warm up the aria and make it more cheerful. Water and dirt have gotten on it but water seems to ball up and brush off and the dirt I can sweep off. It's natural for it to get dirty in there so I am trying not to obsess about it. The dirt does not look too bad even when it builds up a bit. The corners curl up a little when the door opens.Wondering if I could weight them down with something.

Does the 8x10 have only 4 blue stripes with ivory/white sections surrounding or are there more blue stripes on the larger rug?

The print size does not vary by rug size. So an 8x10 has the same pattern size as a 2x3. There will definitely be more stripes!Age: 25-34

text: At the end of each year we look forward to presenting our annual Petits Travaux, 'smalls' show, featuring over 300 unique artworks from 34 artists, each measuring 25cm x 25cm. This is our chance to showcase some of our most popular artists from the year in miniature form and at matching miniature cost, and introduce you to some new faces. This year people loved Simon McLean's quirky illustrations and humourous text, which sold out within a few hours. Other favourites included Craig Martin's whimsical paintings, Mia Taninaka's works on wood and Susan Gorley's retro inspired screenprints.

Hey guys
Im wondering if there are any spots in the CH area to buy a real tree for a reasonable prices?
I know there are trees sold in front of the keyfood on flatbush but would like somewhere a bit closer.
Any recommendations for part time daycare? Thinking about enrolling our 17 month old in some kind of afternoon daycare preferably in the neighborhood.
Just read that Bill Bratton has been named the new police chief. I'm sure he'll do the great job that's expected of him since it's his third time around in New York.
Okay, so I've all but decided to cut cable, but cannot decide which of these three to go with. I've got a Mohu leaf, which I'll set up once I've bought a converter box. I have an Apple Macbook Air. I don't feel a strong urge to have it "connected" to my TV, although I recognize there are obvious advantages to that. From what I've read online and gathered from more savvy (read: younger) coworkers, I should go with Apple TV or Roku.
Here are my specs: I don't watch tons of TV/cable shows. I'm a news junkie. I like interesting documentaries, usually on PBS. I am a Mad Men fan. I would like to get into House of Cards. I would like to have good access to sports, mostly major events. I do like movies, not so much blockbusters, though I wouldn't mind streaming random stuff (though probably not that often) off the internet. Thoughts or advice?
Does anyone know about a reasonably priced electrician? Thanks!
Preferably in Brooklyn or below midtown in Manhattan.

I noticed that there was construction going on around in the old WAMU bank (across from Bergen Bagels on Fulton)/next to old Sister's Hardware. Although the windows are covered in paper, I peeked in this evening and noticed supermarket shelving, and large refrigerators. Was kind of surprised that a food market like place was going to be at this spot. Does anyone know more?

Around 4 pm on Sunday, Dec. 1st there was a shooting at the corner of Pacific and Nostrand Ave. Then last night (Monday, 12/2), around 6:15pm, six shots rang out on Pacific near Nostrand (I live on Dean, and heard them from Pacific)...VERY loud. On Sunday, I did not hear them, but there was a huge police presence at the corner deli there, cops driving up Nostrand the wrong way...didn't seem that anyone was hit. This is exactly where the NYPD placed their "tower of fun" this summer, after two shootings nearby. It seems this area is in need of an increased police presence. Anyone have any more info? Thanks,
Question, generally is it acceptable for construction to take place on holidays and Sundays? I live right by the billiards factory being converted to lofts on St Marks and they did pretty loud construction on Thanksgiving day and this past Sunday. The construction this past Sunday was super loud around noon and unbearable so I had to leave my apt.
I looked at nyc.gov and they mention special permits to work off hours. Is there a way for me to look up these permits? I am just wondering what a reasonable expectation is for Brooklyn residential construction.
specifically directy @ Mr. Whynot:
you know the rumor you posted that a sizeable entity was interested in the corner shops, provided the bodega was willing to vacate?
just walked by last nite-- they've moved to president street.
and speculation in 3,2,......
Please join me in celebrating Brooklyn teen and talented photographer, Nahshon Outten, in his first solo show, taking place on Sat. 12/7 at Nimba from 6-9.
The show will feature his cinematic portraits of daily life for the often overlooked and underestimated youth of Brooklyn, New York. Reminiscent of Jamel Shabazz's street photography documenting urban life in the late 20th century, Nahshon offers a fresh perspective on today's youth culture.
Complementary wine will be provided. Dough donuts and additional pastries available for purchase as well.
This is a great opportunity to support local business, authentic art, and our city's talented youth all at once!
Attn readers who frequent Kingston-
This restaurant has apparently applied for a food permit change.
It is presently a coffee shop. However, an entity named J and H Restaurant may soon take over the space.
Admit it, you want to go ice skating with us on January 12th.
The change on Nostrand will make the one on Franklin look minor
I should've been on this sooner, I know. I'm working from home 1-7, but thought why not grab Thanksgiving brunch or early afternoon meal. Anyone know of any decent or interesting (but not necessarily expensive) restaurants open tomorrow that would fill the bill?
My daughter doesnt have cello class for another 10 days (her teacher normally tunes her cello) and her cello is absolutely out of tune. Almost every time I try to tune it I break a string! I need someone who knows how to tune a cello to help out so that she can continue to practice over the holiday break. I can travel anywhere in Brooklyn on Thurs 27 Nov or Friday 28 Nov. Please call or text 347 673 3212 thanks

While spelling it Sundor for the reason you stated above makes sense- that's what the original toy was called/spelled- I thought I'd seen in all the official announcements and listings that his toy was spelled Sunder. I could be wrong, though.

Heavy storms, a collapsed sewer line, and a sewage pump malfunction have made for a bad combination in one Northside neighborhood.
Following last week's storms, raw sewage backed up on Sheffield Drive, covering residents' lawns and getting within 100 yards or so of a nearby preschool.
Jackson city officials were on the scene minutes after resident Ryan Annison contacted Ward One Councilman Quentin Whitwell.

Well made fight shorts.
By BH from MA

About Me Trendy/Stylish Dresser
These shorts look great and perform well when I roll in them and during MMA. The only complaint I have is that they seem a bit big in the waist. I usually purchase size 34 waist for all of my shorts and pants so I bought a size 34 in these. I am thinking about purchasing a size 32 as well, just to see if the waist will fit a little better.

I only have a couple rifles, and nothing too expensive so I've never felt the need to spend much on optics. My favorite though I got as a gift is a Burris Shortmag 3-12 I believe with the ballistic plex reticle on my Win Model 70 in 270WSM. It's a hefty round for where I use it in small woods, but with that scope if I ever took a trip out west for Elk or something I would have to worry. It's clear, bight, short and light weight.
The newest one I bought after I bought my first muzzle loader last year, a CVA Optima Elite. I also got to pick a centerfire barrel and got a .243. Again I didn't want to spend much, but found a Simmons Prosport 4-12 with an quick adjustable objective and eye piece. For $100 bucks, you can't beat the features. I haven't taken it to the range yet though.

Film Festival - Reel China: Six Nights of New Chinese Documentaries
At UCLA every Wednesday, October 13 - November 17, 2004
Wednesday, October 20, 2004
1422 Melnitz Hall
The Critical Studies, Department of Film and Television at UCLA presents Reel China: Six Nights of New Chinese Documentaries. This screening series is part of the ongoing fall 2004 REEL CHINA: New Chinese Documentary Festival in New York and Boston.
It is perhaps not until late 1980s when documentary filmmaking in China started to realize the medium's major raison d'etre as social expression and critique in the most grassroots way possible. The appearance of such new documentaries - termed as the "New Documentary Movement" (xin jilu yundong) in China - is the combined result of a number of factors: a general mixed sense of hope and loss amidst an era of dramatic change; greater freedom in the economic sector plus technological advancement in digital media that makes independent and amateur filmmaking increasingly possible, etc. This is a movement that does not have a conscious manifesto but has doubtless grown out of the collective psyche of China around the turn of the century.
The films selected for this screening series thus contain a variety of visions on the Chinese reality, almost always individual on the surface but collective in depth. Here you will see the daily life and worries of migrant workers in a small town near Guangzhou, brilliant amateur filmmaking by some villagers in Jiangxi, a retired barber in Beijing, two railway station chiefs, dancing farm workers, homeless adolescents on the railway and self-armed Chiru protectors on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, etc. All these lives and their backgrounds, their laughter and tears, their hopes and misfortunes, provide an intimate glimpse at the real contemporary China.
An extended function of these screenings might be that they could serve as a comparing or contrasting basis for other modes of contemporary Chinese cinema, be it Zhang Yimou's extravaganza piece of cinema technology "Hero," or the seemingly already dated group of recent Sixth Generation filmmakers. The big picture of contemporary Chinese cinema is doubtless painted with diverse colors, so diverse that one still does not know how to satisfyingly categorize them all. However diverse and personal the pictures are, we can attempt to achieve a certain circumspection on them by bearing C.G. Jung's words in mind: "A collective problem, if not recognized as such, always appears as a personal problem." That leaves one to ponder to what extent these individual films on individual Chinese reflect that bigger entity called China.
Houjie Township (2002, 80m, dir. ZHOU Hao)
The story takes place in a small town called Houjie near Guangzhou. It has transformed from a rural village to an industrialized and commercialized town. It all follows the massive ventures of Taiwan and Hong Kong in the 1980's. The story relates the precarious position of those migrant workers who build Houjie to the forever risk of being laid off and being the first victims of post September 11 economic slowdown in globalization.
Grandpa Jing and His Old Clients (2003, 55m, dir. SHI Runjiu)
Grandpa Jing is about to celebrate his 87th birthday. He is the most constant man. For so many years, he has been living in the Shishahai District, the heart of the old Beijing where he has been a barber for 70 years. He had already owned a small barber shop in a commercial street of Di'anmen before 1949. Today, in spite of his senility, he still continues to cut hair and shave beards. But instead of working his scissors in the barber shop, he offers in house service for his clients.
DV China (2002, 92m, dir. ZHENG Dasheng)
Since the early 90s, the villagers in Jindezheng, led by Zhou Yuanqiang, creative director of the local cultural center, have learned all the techniques of film production: script writing, casting, shooting, montage and even special effects. With great enthusiasm they have already produced 18 serials although they lack equipments and are short of budget. The energetic director Zhou Yuanqiang initiates a new challenge for his enthusiastic and amateur actors: their first Kung-fu serial. This documentary follows the production of this new serial and their difficulties of fund raising, resolving the technical problems and interpersonal relations among themselves.
Walk-on Roles (2002, 75m, dir. ZHU Chuanming)
There are a gang of urban young loafers. They proclaim themselves as movie walk-on roles, but always kill time before the gate of Beijing Film Studio. Then they go back to their rented shabby cabin on the outskirts, spending whole nights flirting naive girls with filthy jokes, playing cards or watching blue video. Li Wenbo, Bao Hehua and Wang Gang are inclined to dreaming of success of their movies and millions of dollars. But every time when they give a thought about their next meal or their rent, they sink into the stark reality.
Out of Phoenix Bridge (1997, 110m, dir. LI Hong)
Four girls from countryside live in a tiny crammed room in Beijing. Long hours of hard work and miserable living condition turned out to be their happiest years of their lives when they enjoy the most freedom. The prize-winning film follows the rising and falling of hopes and dreams as they reluctantly return to the closed world of their hometowns and future husbands. This film won the Ogawa Shinsuke Award of Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival, Japan, 1997,.
TBA: Following the screening is a discussion with Prof. LU Xinyu, Fudan University, author of Documenting China: The Contemporary Documentary Movement in China (2003).
Along the Railroad (2001, 126m, dir. DU Haibin)
It was winter 2000 in Baoji City, Shanxi Province. A group of waifs and strays were playing on the dump ground of the railway station. These new peripheral people of modern China came from all over the country. In the daytime, they wandered in the city and in the evening they slept along railways. To make a living, they gleaned and collected scraps or empty bottles to sell for a few bucks. Among them, Zhou Fu drifted to Baoji because he had lost his money and ID card; Li Xiaolong and Huo Hongchang had escaped f! rom the Detention Center For Street Kids; Little Yunnan had been maltreated by his former boss; Feng Xiang had decided to run away from home because of forced marriage imposed by his parents. They spent the first Chinese Lunar New Year in the new century with such a big family reorganized along the railway.
San Yuan Li (2003, 44m, dir. OU Ning and CAO Fei)
This is a case study of a typical village-amid-the-city phenomenon in the process of the urbanization of Guangzhou. It is presented by Ou Ning and Cao Fei under the commission of the 50th Venice Biennale. This work samples San Yuan Li Village. The crew penetrates San Yuan Li Village as "City Flaneur", rethinking back into the depth of its history, the confrontation and reconciliation between the process of modernization, and the patriarchal clan system as well as the rural community system in Guangdong. The bizarre architectures and views of humanity have been captured, all encapsulated into this black-and-white cine-poem.
The Happy Life (2002, 90m, dir. JIANG Yue)
Zhengzhou Railway Station is China's largest rail hub. Massive migration population bustle and flow in the station where no order can be permanently maintained. Two characters of the story: Mr. Fu Jiansheng and Mr. Liu Yongli, both work in the station. Since his wife's death, Fu Jiansheng lives in the past, all his hopes turns to memories. While Liu Yongli is not an idealistic man, nor a man driven by his dreams, he only waits and hopes to lead a modern life. This story recaptures the scenes of their daily concerns and their desires. We, as audience, will have deeper understanding of their spiritual and material lives today and their unrealistic confrontation with reality.
Dance with the Farm Workers (2001, 57m, dir. WU Wenguang)
The film is about an unconventional performance withr the same title. The project involved not only actors and dancers, but also 30 Beijing farm workers from poor regions of Sichuan Province. Both the rehearsal and the performance took place in a production hall of a former textile factory that could soon be torn down as part of Beijing's rapid modernization, like thousands of such production halls. Those strong farm laborers, who ca! me to the city after losing their hopes in their hometowns, are the supporting pillars of the modernization. The performance was initiated and organized by choreographer Wen Hui, artists Song Dong and Yin Xiuzhen, and filmmaker Wu Wenguang. They invited 10 professional dancers and actors as well as 30 farm laborers working on the building sites in Beijing whose only wishes were to get paid 30 Yuan a day. It was only later that they discover that the lowest of "the lower class" would be standing at the center stage and making a statement.
Equilibrium (2000, 150m, dir. PENG Hui)
The beautiful and rigid Kekexili region on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a main habitat of Chiru, a rare and first-grade animal under state protection. The region is a well-known wild life protection zone in China. In 1980's, groups of poachers, driven by greediness, swarmed into Kekexili and killed Tibetan Chirus. Ten years later, the number of Chirus decreased by two thirds. Su Nan Da Jie, the head of the party Committee of the county, who was in charge of environmental protection in the area, was killed by 18 poachers in an effort to arrest poachers. To succeed his undertakings, Zha Ba Buo Jie, Su Nan Da Jie's brother-in-law and who is also a good hunter, resolutely resigned from his position in the Prefecture People's Congress and organized a "Western Wild Yak Team" for wild animal protection. However, when various communities were extending their helping hands to "Western Wild Yak Team" and when Zha Ba Du Jie was set to begin his big undertaking, he suddenly disappeared in the vast wildness along with the back-view of a flying eager.

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, is historically the busiest retail shopping day of the year. Many consider it the "official" beginning to the Christmas season. Most retailers will open very early and usually provide massive discounts on their products, and offer doorbuster deals to draw people to their stores.

You might become the victim of petty actions, Cancer. Someone else only wants to think for herself, and you will be blindsided. Her behavior just wasn't what you were expecting. Though she disappoints you, perhaps you saw her as too idealistic of a person? This is a life lesson: Strive to see the best in people, but temper that with also seeing them for who they truly are.
Week of October 7–October 13
Venus (the planet of love) makes an early and rather unusual entry into Sagittarius on Monday, which is the larger-than-life constellation presided over by Jupiter. In the last 50 years, her arrival in the sign of the archer has only coincided a handful of times with the sun in Libra—ruled by her as well. It's worth noting that in the sixties she made three similar early-autumn entrances. Certainly, this was a moment of redefining relationships while the Sagittarian Venus sought independence from Libra's notions of commitment and marriage, launching into an era of free love. Since then, Venus has not had very many October visits—once in 1973, and then not again until 1997. And now.
In Sagittarius, Venus is a glamorous free spirit, with a fresh-faced, sparkling allure. Her motto in this philosophical, fun-loving sign is more: more champagne, more music, more adventure! With this amplified Venusian influence, we can expect love trysts and temptations aplenty. Sagittarius has a rollicking, freedom-loving side, and personal independence is a tenet of the archer's ethos. Because Sag loves opulence and glittering games involving high stakes, our tendency over the next four weeks will be to play hard and fast, especially with love and money. It's go big or go home.
Tempering some of the playtime will be Mercury—which is rather moody in Scorpio—meeting with stern Saturn. On Tuesday, they will hold the first of their scheduled summits. During the next six weeks our thoughts can turn to darker themes and we may find ourselves pondering life's tougher lessons. We should acknowledge that achieving happiness requires tremendous hard work. This pensive mood is a prelude to what will occur later this month when the sun joins Mercury and Saturn in Pluto's dark realm of death and transformation. We would do well to cultivate a positive outlook, balanced with responsibility, and take things in a workmanlike way—one day at a time.
But for now, the stars will instruct us to bid farewell to worry, and embark upon an exotic escapade. Venus asks that we direct our desires toward finding a relationship that not only delivers a wonderful mix of intellect, warmth, and wit, but also expands our consciousness. She suggests that our ideal traveling companion be unencumbered and free from emotional entanglements, and along with a devil-may-care smile, shares a love of the serendipitous. As Venus aims her arrow straight for our hearts, she wishes us to know that with love, anything is possible.

Biker seriously hurt in horsebox crash on A168 near Topcliffe, Thirsk
10:20am Friday 21st September 2012 in News By Dan Bean, firstname.lastname@example.com
A MOTORCYCLIST is in critical condition in hospital after a crash in North Yorkshire.
The collision happened at 10.20am yesterday on the northbound carriageway of the A168 between Topcliffe and Thirsk near The Grange turn-off, and involved a motorcyclist riding a black Kawasaki, and
a white Ford pick-up which was towing a horsebox.
A police spokesman said both vehicles were on the northbound carriageway and collided when the pick-up and horsebox attempted a manoeuvre. The motorcycle came to rest in the central reservation.
The motorcyclist, a man in his 50s from County Durham, sustained serious injuries and was airlifted to James Cook Hospital in Middlesbrough where he remained in a critical condition.
The driver of the pickup, a man in his 30s from Doncaster, was arrested.
The northbound carriageway was fully closed until 2.45pm, while the southbound carriageway was partially closed to allow the Yorkshire Air Ambulance to land.
Police are appealing for anyone who was travelling north or south wards on the A168 and who saw either vehicles before the crash, or witnessed it, to phone Traffic Constable Neil Cholmondeley on
101, or email email@example.com

The 37-year-old actor says he is reaching the end of his screen hunk status and it's up to younger actors to take over the mantle.
He said: "I think it will be interesting to be old. It involves a lot of possibilities. The future doesn't frighten me at all. On the contrary, I am looking forward to it. (Kate: Ok a bit less of 40 being old, please ;-P)
"If I have a look around at the moment I feel great relief because finally others are entering the limelight. Men like Robert Pattinson must now play the Adonis. For me it was always a restraint, a restriction."

What a great series of books! After reading them myself, I decided to buy them for a friend. I was thinking about getting him the first one only, but then remembered how eager I was to start the second and third when I was reading the books myself, so decided to go with the trilogy. I gave them to him a week and a half ago and he's already in the middle of book two, so I'm glad I did! It's nice that they come in a box as well, to keep them together - it ties the whole gift together. I sometimes prefer paperback, but the last two books are not in paperback yet, and the hardcover makes for a nicer gift. Oh, and by the way - I'm not a teenager, even though this is "young adult fiction." I'm in my mid-20s and the person I bought them for is 38...
I received the books today. The price was good and I received them in plenty of time for Christmas.
My son is really enjoying these books, he has already read two of the books and is fixing to start the third. He has been very happy with this product.
My kids read all of them in the same weekend they arrived
I have seen the hunger games movie and it was very good and people at work said read the book it is better so I bought the trilogy and have started to read the first one and it is very good and I plan on reading them all and I know the movies I think are coming out for the other books too. it is worth purchasing and reading
