Great LP keep it up.
If you have the chance visit Aurum even if its miles away.
Maybe you could go and Visit the players in Nueva Noche (that's where most of them live)
Also Nueva Noche is the most developed City so far!
P.S. You're rock is looking pretty good.
Thanks! I just finished up my rock, so I'm planning on a world tour for the next few episodes.
I may start a LP, ain't got a good "commentator" voice, but worth a try
You should give it a shot, it helps you to become familiar with some video editing software and develop communication skills. haha I know what you mean, I don't think I have a good commentary voice either.
Which reminds me, I still need to fix the video I tried uploading. Went Kiershar style text overlay, but turns out it goes really fast when you play it, as opposed to go frame by frame.
Hmm, what video editing software are you using? There should be a way to elongate text. I know windows live video editor has a way to elongate the time text remains on the screen, but there isn't much of a variety of options with that editor.
As someone who rarely posts on the forums, I say this:
1. I don't mind being filmed. Heck, you could plan some antics for me to do on-camera! (This is Sparta, anyone?)
2. Yes, tour the towns. That would be awesome!
3. Though I have no say in the matter (Daniel Levy is the boss of that), I wouldn't mind the address being given. Just as long as they don't grief me.
Hopefully posting the information won't cause an influx of griefers. If anything I'll be a sitting duck if I ever hit f3 haha.
Hell sometimes it's fun to look up people's username and stick ban evidence in their application!
Very good episode. Hopefully your enjoying yourself on the server and hopefully there's more LP episodes to come. I enjoy'd watching it and was impressed by your terra-forming... nicely done
You'll have to come out and try your hand at the acrobatic arena... It would make for a funny episode... although ppl tend to get a little excited in chat while they're out there lol.
As far as the creative ppl on the server, that was a one time thing to fix the nether. It got deleted on accident so a few of us were given creative to get it back up and running with all the rails that we need.
Thanks, I'm glad it was entertaining! Ah yeah I figured the creative situation was being used to fix something. Having people in creative isn't a big deal for me if it's being used to fix something. The last server I played survival on, half of the people started to play in creative, which turned me off to continuing to play survival there. I'm definitely going to go around the server and check out all the cool stuff everyone has built so far. Drop me a message if you ever catch me on and want to show me something.
I dont mind being filmed either. Perhaps we can go caving or something
Heck yea man! Right now I'm a poor man on the server, definitely would like to go exploring and find some more resources.
Great LP keep it up.
If you have the chance visit Aurum even if its miles away.
Thanks! Definitely will try to get there sometime, just drop me a message if you ever catch me on the server and I'll try to make my way over if I'm not already doing something else
Awesome ! I like your vids and even subscribed I thing though could you keep putting ' SMP ' in the title of the video because all your vids have the same nearly title :L I dont mind giving away the ip but i wouldnt do it if you grow like 1k subs because there will be alot of people asking in here and some potential griefers . Keep doing what you are doing and have fun !

Too late for that one haha.
The IP is already out, but as it, Intxiparts has about 100 subscribers and I can't imagine all of them would apply for the server, the menial few which do apply will most likely not noticeably increase the numbers of applicants SDM overviews.
Though, SDM is probably looking for server growth, his server hovers around 5-7th place in the server list for vanilla because he has asked us to vote for it. That alone is what affects the number of applicants. Well that is my opinion at least.
You should give it a shot, it helps you to become familiar with some video editing software and develop communication skills. haha I know what you mean, I don't think I have a good commentary voice either.
I'm already a editor, I've been editing for 4 - 5 years but that's for gaming such a Call Of Duty and what not.., but yeh, I might give it a try , only doubt I got is that i aint got a "deep" voice, little bit on the high side xD
The ip is already heavily advertised on the most popular site for finding vanilla servers. not sure how you can say this would be a bad idea hawk...
It would add to the amount of apps Kaya. There was a 3 page backlog of them so anymore really isn't needed.
It would add to the amount of apps? No kidding...
Why does SDM ask us weekly to vote up the server on that site. He clearly isn't bothered by the amount of applications and wants to promote the server.
If you're still questioning it, then here's his post in this thread:

Part 2 - Fifteenmile
I know not to tense up, anxiety is only going to make my situation worse. I need to be fluid and loose, need to shift down and spin. An internal status report suggests things aren't good . At 64 miles in we're less than half way done and both the road and temperature promise to climb significantly before the day is over. I fade back, just to the left of the group. Out of the saddle and in too big a ring, I check in with each of the faces and each set of legs as they go by in a pace line. I'm looking for hints of pain and suffering, making eye contact if I can. 'Nice pull, nice effort Daniel,' says Aaron evenly and without gasp or effort. I hate it that he's not hurting and he knows it – he can see it in my eyes. Greg is next, offering a consoling head tilt. He smiles and then easily pulls through. Hahn doesn't even look up when he rolls by under the power of an absurdly high and graceful cadence. Ryan is caked in salt and looking worked but goes by smoothly nevertheless. Too smoothly. My legs, in contrast, are poorly syncopated pistons, seizing and jerking.
This much I know about myself. When I'm about to 'pop' and cramp for good, like for the rest of the day, I needlessly and wantonly attack. Like a big, dumb wild animal that has sustained fatal wounds, one that lunges recklessly at anything and everything in a pointless and counterproductive attempt at survival. Just raw, unfocused rage, panic making a last stand. Like the suspect on PCP who walks through countless police officers wielding mace and shotgun shells as if they were sprinklers on a hot day. Crazy and disconnected from reality. I know that in the moment before I crack, I'll sprint and charge and force whatever remains from my body. I'll spit and foam and cry. I'll bury myself.
And that's why I jump. Despite the grim forecast issuing from my body, despite the debilitating cramp looming on the horizon, just before lunch and the town of Dufur, on a series of long rolling hills and straights, I jump. At first, my effort is strong but the group's answers come swiftly and definitively. In less than a quarter mile on a steeper section I'm dropped, left to scramble up the road alone. On the downhill section, I catch up with a struggle and when the road levels out, I resume my attack. Once again, I start a fight I can't finish and my right hamstring begins to seize for real. This goes on for several miles. The others are laughing at me, they know. Every new attack is more diminished than the previous one, a little more pathetic. I'm riding myself into the ground. Ten miles out, inspired by my increasingly spastic and desperate desire to force pain on to the group, the others counterattack in earnest. And that's when I pop for good.

Miles 25-75
The Dalles is an honest and proud river town currently making the shift from 'the way it's always been' to 'the way it's gonna be.' From abandoned machine shops, depressing grocery stores and drive-thru espresso stands to micro-breweries and art galleries. Leaving the Columbia, a series of roads with names like 'Eighteenmile' and 'Fifteenmile' head south, up on to the hot rolling plains that signal the beginning of eastern Oregon. In every direction, brown, golden-green fields of grain shift, from shiny side to dull side, in the heavy oven-like winds blowing steadily out of the east. The occasional creek or stream, indicated by large oaks and tiny wooden bridges, run through the low spots where steep hills merge. From time to time, antique silos, rusty creaking windmills and schoolhouses perch at the edge of the street, watching patiently as we pass. Our advance to Dufur is steady and up, devoid of services or respite, not so much as a filling station. Mt Hood appears as a pointy white illusion, a beacon in the haze coming ever closer, growing bigger and bigger with every mile.

One more Great American Symphony
'It's very simple: we're honest composers. We've composed music that we find beautiful, that we have loved. You have to write music that will be loved. Now if that's a sentimental concept of what being a composer is, then I'm very sorry. I live in my time, I'm very aware of technology and computers, but I don't think they have anything to do with the overall big humane values. What's the point of composers writing only for each other?''
One of the last survivors of the "Greatest Generation" of American classical composers, the generation also of Thomson, Copland, Barber, Schuman and Bernstein, David Diamond (1915- 2005, quoted above in a 1990 New York Times profile) saw his music fall out of fashion in the middle of his career, then lived long enough to enjoy a major comeback. A native of Rochester, New York, Diamond trained in composition at the Cleveland Institute of Music, at Eastman, and under Roger Sessions at New York's New School. The finishing touches on his craft and style were applied, however, during this three late-30s trips to Paris, where he attended the classes of famed pedagogue Nadia Boulanger, and earned the encouragement of such great composers as Maurice Ravel, Albert Roussel and Igor Stravinsky.
Diamond's artistic high point probably came in the 1940s, when he produced his most enduring works while, ironically, living in financial hardship only partially alleviated by grants and commissions. As more dissonant and experimental music came into fasion in the fifties, Diamond moved to Europe, settling in Florence. Following his return to the U.S. in 1965, Diamond's music and career both underwent a revival, slowly at first, eventually resulting in a torrent of recordings and awards — major new works, too, in a somewhat denser, more chromatic style than before, and culminating in his valedictory Symphony No. 11 of 1991.
Indeed the symphony had by then been Diamond's central genre for fifty years . Spare and direct, impeccable in craft, though with an occasional homespun quality, and suffused with the composer's natural lyricism, Diamond's symphonies are of a piece with the works in the genre by his contemporaries, but speak with a consistent, unique voice. They (or at least those I've heard!) range from the pithy neo-classicism of the First and Fourth, to the haunting Third, with its slow, elegiac conclusion, to the grand epic of the cycle, the Symphony No. 2 of 1942-43. With its two broad slow movements, starting with a "Adagio funebre" (funereal adagio), Diamond's Second stands proudly alongside the finest symphonies by Harris, Schuman, Hanson and Copland, and will fill most of our 1:00 hour Monday afternoon on WFCR.

Devinci's Atlas combines Split Pivot suspension with the ultra-smooth ride of a 29-inch wheel platform for a ride that's made for the trail. The 29-inch wheel platform is a tire-to-ground formula that holds momentum longer while delivering a large footprint for improved stability and grip across mud, root and rocky trails. The patented Dave Weagle suspension design centers on the wheel axle to allow maximum suspension efficiency and traction without interference from pedal and brake forces. The short back end means it handles tight switchback turns better than any big wheeler, while the low slung shock and rocker keeps the center of gravity low and the ride incredibly stable. The tapered head tube up front combined with the 12x142mm thru axle on the rear provides the necessary stiffness for rough trail riding. Jump on an Atlas today and roll with the ultimate lightweight, trail destroying 29'er.

Looking for information on Charles Marshall. I know he was Lee's secretary, wrote his departing speech to the troops and was the only confederate present at the McClean house. Also, wrote a book relating to his tenure with Lee and is related to John Marshall, chief justice, and other Marshall's who participated in the civil war. Currently looking for his family background, i.e. birth place, education, etc. Doc C |

Charles Marshall was appointed to Lee's staff as an aide-de-camp. In this capacity, as a major, he served during 1862 and 1863. Later, as a lieutenant colonel, he was an assistant adjutant general (1864). He accompanied General Lee to the surrender meeting at Wilmer McLean's house in April of 1865. I believe that he was the grand nephew of Chief Justice John Marshall, but I haven't gotten into his genealogy. Here is a picture of his tombstone in Green Mount Cemetery in Baltimore: Charles Marshall (1830 - 1902) - Find A Grave Memorial Here is a book that might answer your other questions: Amazon.com: Lee's Aide-de-Camp: Books: Charles Marshall,Frederick Maurice,Gary W.

T.D. Thanks for your help. His tombstone and location in Baltimore was a nice addition to what I already have. Have ordered his book. Has anyone read it? Of note, there were numerous Marshalls from Va. Some notables - Col. James K. Marshall (KIA leading Pettigrews brigade July 3 at Gettysburg), Col. Thomas C. Marshall (7th Va Cav, KIA Nineveh, Va). As I mentioned in an earlier posting, these individuals are related to John Buford, Jubal Early, Robert E. Lee, George W. Randolph (CSA Secretary of War), etc. On a more recent connection, this is the same lineage for George C. Marshall - chief of staff during WWII. Doc C |

Marshall brought the Stuart Gettysburg controversy to a roaring flame when he announced at the dinner party of a John Hopkins Professor that he had recommmended to Lee that Stuart be court martialed. From then until his death he was the primary foil to John Mosby in that controversy. |

John Buford's wife, Martha McDowell Duke Buford (Called: "Patsy"), was indeed related to BG (and Sec of War), George Randolph, and the two colonels who were killed in action, Thomas Marshall (7th VA Cavalry) and James Marshall (52nd NC). She was also related to: MG Irwin McDowell (2nd cousin), BG Napoleon Buford (Half brother-in-law), BG Abe Buford (3rd cousin), LTG Jubal Early (4th cousin), BG Basil Duke (1st cousin), and Colonel Louis Marshall of Pope's staff. Patsy was the grand daughter of the sister of John Marshall, the Chief Justice. Her maternal grandfather was Abraham Buford, , who served in the Revolutionary War. Through that line, she is also a cousin of her husband, John Buford. |

Thanks again TD. Have that information. Was looking for his personal history, i.e. W.P. graduate ?, etc. It's amazing the intertwining of families. But when one considers the fact that there were only a couple of ports of entry during the 17th century then it seems more plausible that there is so much interrelating of these families. Charles Marshall is mentioned in numerous books but only in brief passages with no description of his personal history. Doc C |

I don't believe that Charles Marshall ever attended West Point. However, I haven't read his book. So, I can't tell you at present where he went to college. As for Marshalls who attended West Point, there are a couple of connections. Confederate BG Humphrey Marshall of KY was a member of the Class of 1832. I believe that his great grandfather,Thomas Marshall, a friend of George Washington, was the father of Chief Justice Marshall. Humphrey Marshall was a close competitor with BG Abe Buford for the title: "Greatest Civil War General," as both weighed over 300 pounds. (I've decided to leave Winfield Scott out of the competition). Here is some information on John Marshall and his relatives: Thomas Marshall Union Colonel Louis Marshall was a member of the Class of 1849. He was the son of Robert E. Lee's older sister, Anne. His father was William Marshall. Union Major Elisha Marshall of NY was a member of the Class of 1850. He was in the 5th US Infantry. He retired from the Army as a colonel in 1867. I see no connection there. Since I find that my knowledge of Charles Marshall is inadequate, I'm going to have to look into him. <g>. |

In regards to Lee's sister Anne, she supported her son Louis and husband William Marshall of Baltimore (a "black republican") but sent a message saying she doubted the federals "can whip Robert". Nephew Louis Marshall served on General John Pope's staff. To Lee's dismay, "I could forgive Louis fighting against us, but not his joining a miscreant as Pope", Lee admitted to his sister Mary. More than once, Lee spoke of his regret that young Marshall "is in such bad company". Most of these individuals the Marshall, Buford, Early, Lee, etc. probably were unaware of their family relationships or were they? Currently looking into a potential Pickett/Marshall relationship which would link with R. E. Lee. Doc C |

Since I made my last posting, I've gone to the Stratford site, and found a nice document. (Click on it for larger image). It is the terms of surrender and was donated to Stratford by Charles Marshall, son of our Lieutenant Colonel Charles A. Marshall. So, at least we have established that he had living progeny in 1955. General Ulysses S. Grant's Terms of Surrender I don't know of any relationship of Pickett to Lee.(Which doesn't mean that there wasn't any). I believe that he was a cousin of Harry Heth. |

All these intermingled shirt-tail relatives leads me to believe that all had generations of forebearers in the same social circles -- we're talking mostly Virginians here, right? Did the same sort of society exist in, say, Charleston or New Orleans? Ole |

Ole Don't have any first hand information relating to New Orleans or Charleston, but would assume that this intemingling did exist there also. One way of keeping the property, land, money, etc. in the family was marrying within the family, also one knew of the background of the individuals. In addition, genetics was'nt really understood at that that time other than animal husbandtry. Doc C |

I got this particular quilt because I had previously used a white down comforter (ooh...I loved it so much) for many years and had to replace it. I needed to get something with a busy pattern on it since, well, let's just say I have several cats (please let your imagination take it from here). This particular quilt matched the colors of my bedroom perfectly. I was concerned that it would look too 'girlie' and not fit into an adult's room. Happily, it looks fantastic in my room! Very sunny and bright. I saw one reviewer mention that the green flowers were actually gray, but I kind of disagree. To me, they are green but just a bit muted, which actually makes them look nicer. The two shams you get match the quilt, and there is an extra rectangular throw pillow that is eggplant purple which is cute for extra flair. The quilt itself is not very heavy, which I did not expect it to be. If you want something heavier, you'll have to get a comforter or of course something with down. This quilt is mainly for decoration plus a little warmth. I ended up getting a nice warm blanket as well, and the two together along with the blanket I already had should hopefully get me through next winter. I forgot to mention, the quilt is essentially reversible, with the second side being eggplant purple (yeah, that's a LOT of purple!) for a change of pace (or to hide a stain on the other side). I'm very happy with my purchase, especially since it is pretty good quality and I actually fell pretty quickly for the off-the-hook sunny and bright pattern when I wasn't sure I would. Who knew a quilt could make you smile!
this was raved about all night long by the 13 yr old girl who received this as an early x-mas gift....she "abhors anything pink", but loves purple...the photo makes the other flowers look greenish; this is misleading the actual colours are grape purple, light charcoal grey and black with the white background, the underneath/other side of the blanket is white...the construction of the quilt, 2 matching shams and the cute little grape coloured pillow with 3 silver dollared sized white pearlized buttons was "da bomb"...if anyone still says that!!! but it was and still is a big hit with the 13yr old....
Only problem I experienced was the twin set was not large enough to fit the twin bed, and had only one sham (tried to find another matching one but nothing that came close), ordered the full size and did get the fit I was looking for with the additional sham.
I was very pleased with the quality of the fabric and quilting. The product looked just as it did in the photo.
This is the second set I have purchased from Overstock. The quilt is so soft and just the right weight. Colors are beautiful and it washes like a dream!! I wish I had more beds so I could buy more of these sets!!!
We redid my 11 year old daughter's room and purchased this spread. She just loves it! The spread is cute without being juvenile, is well made and really makes the room "pop". This is not a heavyweight spread, but we have a down comforter that she uses in cooler weather, so not a concern--but you should be aware that this is not a heavy winter-weight item.
This bedspread is very pretty! The material is very soft and lightweight. Great for bedding during the summer. I like that it is thinner than comforters and easy to wash. It is a little small for our queen bed, you definitely need a bed skirt.

Mr. STEWART'S bill [H. R. 23] to amend Section 27 of an act concerning roads and highways, so as to permit of the working out of road tax in the same manner as the law provided previous to 1881, was read the third time.
Mr. STEWART explained that the bill simply amended Section 27, by providing that both poll and property tax may be paid in work, and that the Supervisor should issue certificates to such persons, which certificates the County Treasurer shall receive in payment of such taxes. He thought this bill should pass and not run the risk of another bill passing which would include the same provision.
Mr. JEWETT thought the passage of this bill might embarrass the passage of regular road laws and he would, therefore, vote against it.
Mr. MOODY said: I am opposed to the present road law, and my people, without any exception, are opposed to the law. During my entire campaign I heard no voice raised in favor of the law, and for this reason I am in favor of any measure that will relieve my people from the effects of the present odious law. I voted two years ago for the present law upon the understanding that the bill was amended just as this bill proposes to amend it. In fact, I refused to vote for the bill two years ago for the reason that the law would not permit persons to work out their road tax upon the highway if they desired to do so. An amendment was then proposed and agreed to, or rather a proviso, which gentlemen will find in Section 27 of the present law, that was intended to apply to Section 10 of the law instead of Section 16, enabling parties to work out their tax instead of paying the money by applying to the Superintendent. The present law is not what we want, and gentlemen say to vote for this amendment will defeat the Senate and House bills prepared on this question with great care, and for that reason we should vote against this bill. If I knew that the Senate or House bill would be passed, then I would not care for this amendment; but how can we defend ourselves before our constituents if we defeat this bill, which, if passed, will cure the most obnoxious feature of the present law, and neither of the other bills is passed? I promised my people all over my County to do all in my power to repeal the dog law, the decedent act, the road law, the oats bill and the proposed prohibitory amendment tot he Constitution, and I have done all in my power to carry out this pledge. I do trust that this bill will pass; and then, if we can pass the House bill, which is claimed to be an improvement on the present law, well and good, and if they fail, we can have the consolation at least, of knowing that when the opportunity presented itself to better the present law we did not fail to embrace it.
Mr. HEFFREN did not think it best to take favorable action on this bill. He favored having the Committee report at once on the road bill passed by the Senate, and take action on that bill without further delay.
Mr. SMITH, of Tippecanoe, was in favor of this amendment, and then he would favor a general road law.
Mr. BEESON thought that, in the interest of the people, this bill should not be voted down. He was in favor of passing the amendment to the present road law.
The bill passed the House by yeas, 69; nays, 26.
Mr. Muck entered a motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill passed.

Fresh and CleanWednesday, 14 March 2012
The best feature about this hotel is it's location, whcih is in the heart of the city and walking distance to everything. The May is very new and this is always a big plus.
The May is well situated, clean and new, it has all the facilities you expect and the overall experience was good. This hotel I felt was catering for the package tour market. The room we had was what you expect, but it was not spacious. Cons - On arrival the receptionist was very rude but on reflection my dealings with other staff were fine so I think this was someone having a bad day.
- Travel Tip: Great location and I would stay here again.
Ideally LocatedWednesday, 14 March 2012
Very new & clean, staff service efficient
Advantages: Ideally located on a quiet street within a bustling district. The famous Dong Khoi Street and Nguyen Hue Boulevard are just a short walk away. Hotel lobby is simple yet nice. Room is very new and clean, marble flooring so there's no carpet odour. Staff service very efficient. Disadvantages: No in-room safe and no kettle Overall, a very pleasant experience. The hotel is rated 3-stars but is more like 3.5 -4 stars. A little pricey though. What we're paying for is the location and the cleanliness of the place. Cons - A little expensive for its class, no in-room safe and kettle
- Travel Tip: Apocalypse Now, probably Ho Chi Minh's most famous disco, is located on the same street.

The German Church under Attack.
When Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany in January 1933, most Americans were more concerned about the collapsing domestic economy than what he might do with or to the German people because of their ethnic backgrounds or religious views. But the vigorously antireligious Nazi movement made it clear that German religious communities would face challenges to their beliefs and actions. In 1933 Paul Tillich, already recognized as one of the most distinguished German theologians, was dismissed from his position at the University of Frankfurt. He was invited to teach at Union Theological Seminary in New York, eventually becoming an American citizen and continuing his contributions to theology. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, another distinguished German theologian, had studied at the Union Theological Seminary in 1930-1931. His friends in the United States also invited him to accept a visiting professorship in 1939, and he traveled to New York intending to remain. But after two weeks he decided to return to Germany to work with and guide his fellow Germans in the anti-Nazi German Confessing Church. He was imprisoned and killed before the war was over. Catholics also found the antireligious actions of the Hitler government offensive but found some comfort in its anticommunism. The Left developed a deep suspicion of the relations between the Vatican and the fascist governments...

Church Unions and Reunions
A Decade of Mergers.
The 1930s saw a series of unions among Protestant groups, usually bringing together people of different ethnic backgrounds who shared a religious tradition. In 1931 members of the Lutheran Synod of Buffalo joined the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Iowa and the Evangelical Lutheran Joint Synod of Ohio to form the American Lutheran Church; in 1934 two groups from the Calvinist tradition joined to create the Evangelical and Reform Church out of the Reformed Church in the United States and the Evangelical Synod of North America; and in 1931 two theologically liberal and congregationally organized denominations, the National Council of Congregational Churches and the General Convention of Christian Churches, joined to form the General Council of Congregational and Christian Churches.
The Methodists Merge.
The most impressive and important merger of the decade took place in 1939, when three branches of American Methodism finally reunited after more than a century of separation. In 1830 the Methodist Episcopal Church split over questions of organization, and a small splinter group, the Methodist Protestant Church, emerged. In 1844 a more serious split occurred, this time over slavery, which resulted in the creation of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The sectional division proved the most bitter and intensified during...

"The Humanist Manifesto"
The May—June 1934 issue of the New Humanist contained what was called "The Humanist Manifesto," a statement that sought to offer an alternative for people unwilling to rely on religion for an explanation of life and its meanings. The signers of the manifesto included distinguished figures such as Harry Elmer Barnes, Robert Morss Lovett, Charles Francis Potter, Llewellyn Jones, and, most important, philosopher John Dewey.
Science over Supernaturalism.
"The Humanist Manifesto" sought to focus attention on the evidence science gave about nature and life in order to encourage people to reject supernaturalism. It included such points as the need to recognize that the universe was "self-existing," not created, and that humanity was a part of nature and had evolved as part of a continuing process. The manifesto rejected the old question of the duality of mind (or soul) and body by incorporating the mind and its functions as a part of the body. Religion, it insisted, was a product of human development and changed according to historical changes. In its fifth point the manifesto insisted that "the nature of the universe depicted by modern science makes unacceptable any supernatural or cosmic guarantees of human values.. , . Religion must formulate its hopes and plans in light of the scientific spirit and method." Having eliminated God...(The entire section is 413 words.)
The Movies and the Churches
Guardians of Morality.
From the days of the early nickelodeon, conservatives and protectors of morals had been concerned about motion pictures and their impact on their viewers, particularly the young. In the first decade of the twentieth century, Chicago, New York, and later other cities established local censorship boards to review films to ensure that their content did not corrupt the morals of the young. A variety of censoring boards with a variety of views came into being, but none was able to impose a national standard on the movie industry.
The Hays Office.
This situation threatened to change when a series of scandals, including rape, murder, drug use, and general sexual misconduct, swept through Hollywood in the early 1920s. In the face of demands for some sort of government regulation, in 1922 the industry created the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA), later the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), and hired Postmaster General Will Hays to serve as its head in an effort to block attempts to establish a national censorship agency. It was assumed that this Presbyterian elder and member of the Warren Harding administration was familiar enough with sin to be able to know it when he saw it on the screen. The Hays Office, as it was called, established and published a code for the industry in an...

"Never Again."
In the early years after the Great War of 1914-1918, a sense of revulsion swept over the Western world as the cost of that war in men and money was reckoned. Americans in particular felt they had been pulled into a conflict of little direct importance and of little positive consequence. A strong mood of "never again, never again war" developed. War itself was the enemy, since it resolved little and destroyed much. This antiwar mood intensified in the first half of the decade, when domestic issues dominated the American consciousness and when conflicts raged in Asia, Africa, and Europe in the second. The antiwar mood in the United States was not just an opposition to wars that did not affect American interests but to war itself. Pacifism became a deeply held conviction, particularly in religious circles.

Prohibition and the Churches.
Even as the Depression that followed the stock-market crash of 1929 deepened to unprecedented lows, Americans were preoccupied with the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibited the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages. That amendment, which had been ratified in 1919, was the result of long, dedicated effort by reformers, many of them active in Protestant evangelical groups. The Women's Christian Temperance Union reflected the links between the effort to dry up America and the Protestant churches. The Anti-Saloon League, with strong ties to the Methodist Church, called itself the Protestant church in action.

Religious Response to the Spanish Civil War
In July 1936 military officers, led by Gen. Francisco Franco, declared war against the government of the Republic of Spain and launched a four-year civil war between his rebels and the loyalists supporting the republic. The Spanish Republic was created in 1931 after King Alphonso XIII left the country and initially had fairly wide support. But monarchists were soon joined by opponents of the republic's policies, which affected large landowners, the wealthy, and the institutions of the Roman Catholic Church. The military also became disaffected, and many troops followed Franco into revolt. The Spanish Civil War, which lasted until Franco's Flangist forces won in 1939, was a foretaste of the approaching world war.
Divided Opinions in the United States.
As the war dragged on, American religious communities were sharply divided in their attitudes toward the competing armies and their actions. The rebels were vigorously supported by most American Catholics and Catholic clerics, who had...

Buchman, Frank N. D. 1878-1961
Founder of the Oxford Group Movement.
A Pennsylvania-born Lutheran minister, Frank N. D. Buchman founded the Oxford Group Movement in 1921 in an effort to organize a "God-guided campaign to prevent war by moral and spiritual awakenings." In the following two decades he and his followers sought to change people through the use of home meetings where people came together to explore religious issues and make contact with God. The Oxford Group, as it came to be called, believed that those who experienced a conversion, the Change, would surrender their lives to God's control and that gradually the world would come under divine direction.
The Oxford Movement aroused much controversy as it attracted increased public attention in the 1930s. The house parties, the informal format Buchman used to spread his movement, were held in large homes and expensive hotels in the United States and Europe and so gave the appearance that the movement was snobbishly directed toward the upper classes. Buchman, however, justified this target, insisting that if the world's leaders were brought under "God-control" through the Change, their nations would move under God-control, and so political problems, including war, could be resolved. A controversial aspect of his God-control was his insistence that his followers use...

Cannon, Bishop James, Jr. 1864-1944
Behind Prohibition.
James Cannon Jr. was elected a bishop of the Methodis t Episcopal Church, South, in 1918. The election reflected an esteem for his work in the denomination as president of Blackstone School, a women's college in Virginia. It also reflected enthusiasm for his efforts as editor of the Richmond Virginian, which served as a voice for the Virginia Anti-Saloon League, an organization he also led, and his work as chair of the Southern Methodist Board of Temperance and Social Service. Cannon served as the major voice of the Prohibition movement in the South. His work culminated with the 1919 ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages in the United States.
In the 1920s Cannon became the effective head of the national Anti-Saloon League....

Coughun, Father Charles E. 1891-1979
Early Career.
Father Charles E. Coughlin was born in Hamilton, Ontario, to an American father and Canadian mother, which raised questions about his constitutional eligibility when his more zealous followers urged him to run for president in the 1930s. In 1926 the bishop of Detroit appointed the newly ordained priest to the new parish of the Little Flower, named in honor of the recently consecrated Saint Therese of Lisieux, in suburban Royal Oak, Michigan. In an effort to attract people, Father Coughlin began a series of Sunday-evening broadcasts of his sermons on a Detroit radio station in a program called the Radio League of the Little Flower,
From Religion to Politics.
Father Coughlin's engaging voice, speaking skills, and message attracted a large audience, and his parish grew quickly. In the early days of his radio ministry he focused on...

Day, Dorothy 1897-1980
After spending her young adulthood in nonreligious, left-wing circles in New York City, Dorothy Day was received into the Roman Catholic Church in 1927, shortly after the baptism of her illegitimate daughter. Although the American Catholic Church tended to adopt conservative political and religious views in the first half of the twentieth century, Day continued her work for peace and religious meaning while criticizing capitalism. In 1932 she met Peter Maurin, a French immigrant, who introduced her to his ideas about Christians taking personal responsibility for living a Christian life and thus creating a Christian world.
Catholic Worker.
After being persuaded by Maurin's ideas, Day took responsibility for publicizing them and putting them into action. In 1933 she began publishing the Catholic Worker, a name that became associated with the movement she and Maurin started. He presented his thoughts in the Catholic Worker; which competed with the Communist Daily Worker, and...

Devine, Father 18777-1965
God or Man?
One of the most colorful religious personalities of the decade, Father Devine challenged religious convention, distributed food to the needy, and conducted healing services. Although his followers often confused Devine with God, few outside his church did. His charity and preaching of interracial tolerance nonetheless won him many admirers and made him the most well known of Harlem's many preachers.
Gaining a Following.
In the dark years of the early Depression, increasing numbers of people took advantage of Father Devine's charity. The crowds swelled around his Sayville, New York, home, and the number of his followers expanded. In 1931 protests from his neighbors led to charges that, because of the crowds and traffic problems, he was disturbing the peace. While the community insisted they were concerned with the large crowds Father Devine attracted, his followers believed part of the opposition came from the fact that whites, especially white women, attended his services and joined his group. He was convicted of disturbing the peace and given the maximum sentence, one year in prison. Two days later the presiding judge died, and Father Devine was alleged to have remarked, "I hated to do it," The remark became legendary among followers certain that Devine was God incarnate. His...

Fosdick, Harry Emerson 1878-1969
Prominent Protestant.
Harry Emerson Fosdick was one of the major voices of liberal Protestantism in the middle of the twentieth century. As pastor of the spectacular, nondenominational Riverside Church in New York City and as the leading Protestant speaker on radio, he helped to define the personality and meaning of mainline Protestantism for thirty years.
Early Recognition.
Fosdick was born in upstate New York and entered the Baptist ministry after graduating from Union Theological Seminary in New York. His talents and abilities were quickly recognized. He became professor of practical theology at Union in 1911 and taught there until he retired in 1946. In 1918, even though he was a Baptist, he was called to the pulpit of the First Presbyterian Church in New York City. In 1922 he attracted national notoriety when he preached a sermon called "Shall the Fundamentalists Win?," which entered him in the battle between modernists and fundamentalists that splintered many Protestant denominations in the 1920s. The furor over the sermon led to efforts to move him from a Presbyterian...

Holmes, John Haynes 1879-1964
John Haynes Holmes was a leading political and religious liberal in the first half of the twentieth century. He was ordained in the American Unitarian Association in 1904 and in 1907 moved to the Church of the Messiah in New York City, where he remained until he retired in 1949. He was deeply disturbed by World War I and helped organize the American branch of the pacifist organization the Fellowship of Reconciliation. He was a leader in the American Union Against Militarism, an umbrella organization that opposed American involvement in World War I. The controversy over his pacifist views caused him and his church to leave the Unitarian Association, and the name of the congregation was changed to the Community Church. Following the lead of Holmes, the Community Church remained one of the most active liberal groups in the nation.
Civil Liberties.
After the United States entered the war in 1917, Holmes helped to create an organization to protect the rights of pacifists to resist conscription into the military. After the war the Civil Liberties Bureau became the American Civil Liberties Bureau, later the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Holmes remained active with the ACLU and its efforts to protect the constitutional rights of free speech throughout his life.

Ryan, Father John A. 1869-1945
Father John A. Ryan was born in Minnesota to an Irish immigrant family. While attending a Christian Brothers school he decided to become a priest, and during his training he was deeply influenced by the publication of Pope Leo XIII's encyclical Return novaruniy which spoke for social justice and condemned both the excesses of capitalism and the dangers of socialism. He was also impressed by the ideas of Archbishop John Ireland of Saint Paul, who sought to acculturate the Roman Catholic Church to the United States without compromising any of its essential qualities.
Reforming Capitalism.
Ryan was ordained in 1898 and earned a Ph.D. at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. His dissertation, published as The Living Wage (1906), presented his belief that capitalism should be reformed to accord with Christian concepts of brotherhood and community. In 1915 he returned to Catholic University for a lifelong teaching career. When the National Catholic Warfare Conference proved successful in coordinating Catholic efforts during World War I, American bishops decided to create a permanent organization to direct Catholic charities. Ryan became head of the Social Action Department of the new National Catholic Welfare Conference and quickly moved into the public eye.

Smith, Gerald L. K. 1889-1976
Early Ministry.
Gerald L. K. Smith was born in Wisconsin and ordained when he was eighteen in the denomination that modestly called itself the Christian Church. After successfully serving a series of churches in Indiana, he moved to Shreveport, Louisiana, in 1928 to give his ailing wife a better climate. There he led the largest church of his denomination in that state. Smith quickly recognized the usefulness of radio and developed a large local following with the broadcasting of his sermons, which focused on reform topics.
From Preaching to Politics.
In the early days of the Depression Smith began to attack the actions of important business leaders of Shreveport, including members of his own congregation. These people joined others in his church who charged that he was neglecting some of his pastoral responsibilities. The dissension in his church and his personal ambitions made Smith responsive to a chance to join Huey Long's organization. By 1934 Long was ready to challenge both the New Deal and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. That year he established Share Our Wealth, which proposed a massive redistribution of individual fortunes and massive taxation of high incomes. Smith left his congregation in Shreveport to become the national organizer for Share Our Wealth and rapidly...

Ward, Harry F. 1873-1966
Varied Career.
Harry F. Ward was probably the best-known fellow traveler of the Communist Party among American Protestant clergy in the 1930s. He was born in England in 1873 and came to the United States in 1881. He was ordained in the Methodist Episcopal Church, the norther n branch of the Methodist denomination, and quickly became active in reform movements in the early part of the century. He was one of the principal authors of "The Social Creed of the Churches," the most widely circulated expression of the Social Gospel, which attempted to articulate the social ethics of Christianity. In 1907 he organized the Methodist Federation for Social Action (later the Methodist Federation for Social Service). After teaching at Boston University, he joined the faculty of Union Theological Seminary in New York City, where he taught social ethics until his retirement in 1941.
There is no evidence that Ward ever joined the Communist Party, but he was a prominent supporter of organizations associated with the party during the 1930s. He criticized the actions of the both the American Communists and the Soviet Union from time to time but had little difficulty in following the general shifts in Communist positions through the turbulent decade of the 1930s. He served as president of...

Wise, Stephen Samuel 1874-1949
Productive Career.
Stephen S. Wise came to the United States as a child when his father, also a rabbi, accepted a congregation in New York City. He graduated from the City College of New York and took a Ph.D. at Columbia University. He served a series of congregations, including one in Portland, Oregon. He returned to New York and in 1907 founded the Free Synagogue of New York, where he spent the rest of his career as a leading rabbi in Reform Judaism and a leading reformer in New York politics, He founded the Jewish Institute of Religion, now a part of the Hebrew Union College.
Wise was one of the first Reform rabbis to champion the cause of Zionism, the return of Jews to Palestine. He helped found the Federation of American Zionists in 1897 and served as its first secretary. He also helped organize its successor, the Zionist Organization of America,
Against Nazism.
When Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933, Wise attempted to encourage and organize opposition to the Nazis' anti-Semitic actions. In March 1933 he organized a mass meeting in Madison Square Garden that attracted an estimated twenty-two thousand people inside the building and another thirty thousand outside. The meeting was addressed by Wise and former governor of...

Important Events in Religion, 1930–1939
- Charles E. Fuller, perhaps the most popular evangelist to appear on the scene between Billy Sunday and Billy Graham, begins his long-lived radio program The Radio Revival Hour, later called The Old Fashioned Revival Hour. On October 3, 1937, he moves to the Mutual Broadcasting Network, where he developed one of the largest audiences ever for religious programs.
- On February 26, The Green Pastures, a controversial depiction of African American religiosity by white playwright Marc Connelly, opens in New York. The play, written in 1929 and based on Roark Bradford's sketches Ol' Man Adam an' His Chillun (1928), wins the Pulitzer Prize for drama.
- On July 4, in a speech to supporters in Detroit, W.D. Fard (later known as Wallace Fard Muhammad) announces that he is the Mahdi, the chosen messenger to Muslims, and institutes the Nation of Islam. During his short ministry, Fard would teach that African Americans are members of a Muslim "Lost-Found Tribe of Shabazz" and that separation from whites, self-knowledge, and self-help will restore them to their proper place in the world. He founds a Temple of Islam, a University of Islam, and the Fruit of Islam (a self-defense organization) before his mysterious disappearance in 1934. His follower, Elijah Muhammad, continues the development of the Nation of Islam.

Daily objects turned upside down
By Kwon Mee-yoo Anti-mosquito coils create funnel-shaped sculptures while enlarged egg-like objects are set on a slope. Wooden fences in the gallery make visitors wonder what is inside. This is a part of the 13th Hermes Foundation Misulsang (art award) exhibition at Maison Hermes Dosan Park in southern Seoul. The three candidates for the 13th Hermes Foundation Misulsang — Koo Dong-hee, Jackson Hong and Lee Mi-kyung — present unusual ways to look at everyday life. The works on exhibit blur the traditional concept of art and daily objects. Koo, who works with multimedia including photo, video, sculpture and installation, experimented with the theme of "Helter Skelter." The term refers to spiral slide fairground rides, and is also the title of a song by The Beatles. Notorious criminal Charles Manson also referred to the song title in his vision of a race war and it inspired Koo to create four artworks. "Helter Skelter" is a 160-centimeter tall spiral-shaped object made from mosquito coils and a parasol. It looks like a weird parachute and Koo said she tried to resemble the shape of spiral slides. "Shelter" combines technologies with everyday things such as pen, buttons and cosmetics on a QR code printed on OHP film. When examined closely, photos of Manson with his believers are hidden in the code. Such unfamiliar images diffuse the viewers' senses and thoughts as helter skelter also means chaotic or lacking of order. Hong worked with the concept of "Mass Production" by making familiar objects one-and-a-half times their original size. Large eggs fall from a blue paper carton ("Proving Ground") and a vacuum cleaner sucks in a mannequin instead of dust ("Shopping Mall"). A small angelic statue faces a black vacuum cleaner box instead of the visitors ("Untitled"). Hong said he captured a slice of mass production, a legacy of commercialism in the 20th century, in his works. "I chose the bigger size because that is the most weird and unfamiliar size," Hong said. Lee's "Fence" overturns viewers' expectations totally. The 177-centimeter high fences, which are usually seen at construction sites, encase a square space of the gallery and visitors can step on the stool to look inside. However, they find nothing but an empty space. Lee compares the idea of expecting something behind the fence to the significance of contemporary art. "Everyone expects to see something when they visit an exhibition, but sometimes it might be different from what they expected. Though futile, visitors who saw my work should say they saw nothing," Lee said. Begun in 2000, the Hermes Foundation Misulsang aims to support creative and capable Korean artists and the foundation provides expenses for three candidates to prepare an exhibition. Artist and winner of 2001 award Kim Beom, University of California, Irvine studio art professor Min Yong-soon, Nam June Paik Art Center director Park Man-u, Busan Biennale 2012 artistic director Roger Buergel and independent curator Cristina Ricuperro are this year's judging committee. The winner will be announced on Sept. 13. The exhibit runs through Sept. 25 and admission is free. For more information, call (02) 544-7722. |

In the 25th year of their career together, a famous string quartet receives some devastating news. Peter, their cellist, has been diagnosed in the early stages of Parkinson's disease. This bombshell interrupts the steady pace of their work and exposes personal issues that have long remained latent.
"A Late Quartet" does one of the most interesting things any film can do. It shows how skilled professionals work. I knew about string quartets in general. Now I know more about them in practice, especially about how they require four talented individuals to form into one disciplined voice. I suspect any serious music lover will be convinced that Yaron Zilberman's film knows what it is talking about.
One of the pleasures here is to see familiar and gifted actors forming an ensemble of their own. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christopher Walken and Catherine Keener join with a newer face, Mark Ivanir, to play the members of the Fugue String Quartet, a world-famous ensemble based in Manhattan. Walken is Peter Mitchell, the cellist, who is the wisest and most thoughtful member of the group. Hoffman and Keener are Robert and Juliette Gelbart, the second violin and viola, who are married. The first violin and youngest member of the group is Daniel Lerner (Ivanir).
Peter notices a weakness in the fingers of his left hand, consults a specialist (Madhur Jaffrey) and is startled to learn that even before a blood test and a brain scan she can tell him, on the basis of a few simple physical tests, that she suspects Parkinson's. He reveals this quietly to his fellow musicians. In this moment and throughout the film, Christopher Walken reminds us that although he often plays caricatures and joins in kidding his mannerisms (see the recent "Seven Psychopaths"), he can be a deep and subtle actor, particularly good at suggesting deep intelligence.
His character's announcement inspires a bright idea by the second violinist, Robert, that he and the lead violinist, Daniel, could begin to switch chairs. Since the loss of their cellist doesn't require a rearrangement of the violins, it's clear that this idea has been long smoldering in his mind. It is quickly shot down and precipitates other buried issues, including a situation of adultery, and another unsettling revelation that Daniel has been having an affair with young Alexandra (Imogene Poots) — who is the daughter of Robert and Juliette.
These melodramatic themes are intercut with knowledgeable scenes showing the Fugue Quartet in rehearsal and performance; they're preparing to present Beethoven's String Quartet No. 14, Op. 131, itself a late work by the master with a certain funereal air. Peter believes it could provide his farewell performance, and so it does in an unanticipated way, allowing Walken to display the great depth and dignity of his character.
How much does one need to know about classical music to appreciate this film? Not very much. Like all masterful films, it contains what is needed to appreciate it. All that is needed is an interest in human nature, which during the quartet's period of crisis is abundantly revealed. Actors such as Keener, Walken, Hoffman and Ivanir are frequently seen in roles that don't really test them. That's the nature of the commercial cinema. What a pleasure to see them sounding their depths.

New program will help small businesses impacted by the government shutdown
NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Due to the U.S. government shutdown, the efforts of small businesses nationwide to secure Small Business Administration (SBA) backed loans have been put on hold. As a result, World Business Lenders, a New York based small business lender, has initiated a new program in an effort to continue funding small businesses and to help fuel our economic recovery.
Even though it has only been in effect for eleven days, the government shutdown has frozen all SBA backed loans, impacting small businesses across the U.S. In its normal course of business, the SBA guarantees over $90 million in loans every business day. The government shutdown and SBA freeze has caused substantial problems for thousands of small businesses which were counting on their pending SBA loan to sustain, grow, or expand their businesses. The combination of the government shutdown and a lack of other financing options has resulted in hardship for small businesses nationwide.
World Business Lenders has launched a new product which is immediately available to all eligible small businesses with SBA applications. World Business Lenders' "Government Shutdown Loan" is a three to six month bridge loan. Qualified borrowers who submit a one-page application and six months of business bank statements can receive funding in as little as 48 hours. Doug Naidus, the Chief Executive Officer of World Business Lenders, stated, "Our goal is to help small business owners in the U.S. in every way possible. We expect substantial demand for our Government Shutdown Loan."
About World Business Lenders
Based in New York City, World Business Lenders (www.wbl.com) is a lender specializing in serving the small business community. The company was founded by a group of successful international entrepreneurs with extensive experience and background in financial markets. Its mission is to help the underserved small business sector and satisfy the growing need for small business capital.
