Black Metal
Aggressive underground black metal power trio, deeply influenced by the Scandinavian second wave and old school heavy metal. Neither do we give a fuck about new trends, nor do we let ourselves be limited by what the pretentious wannabe black metal elite deems to be "true." We create black art from the deepest pits of our souls, and your opinion is as irrelevant to that process as any so-called "scene." The product of art is for the enjoyment of the people, but the creative process is for the enjoyment of the artist. Live shows are essential to our perception of black art, as it is the only time these two come together. We strive to create a dense athmosphere and an intense experience for ourselves as well as for the audience. Frankincense smoke and face paint are essential to that.
We do not associate with idiots. Especially not of the far-right kind. Go fuck off, you have absolutely nothing in common with us.

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company inks agreement with US and Japanese oil firms
The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) said Tuesday it had signed an agreement with US and Japanese oil firms to extend their concessions and boost output at the emirate's biggest oilfield.
ADNOC said in a statement it signed the agreement with US giant ExxonMobil and Japan's INPEX to raise output at the Upper Zakum offshore field by around 350,000 barrels per day to one million bpd by 2024.
The agreement extended the concession of the two companies by a decade to end by 2051.
Located 83 kilometres (52 miles) northwest of Abu Dhabi, Upper Zakum is the world's fourth-largest oilfield and the second-largest offshore, containing almost half of the United Arab Emirates' proven reserves - nearly 100 billion barrels.
"This agreement is another milestone in our efforts to forge partnerships that bring technology, expertise and capital aimed at delivering greater economic value and levels of recovery from our resources," ADNOC CEO Sultan al-Jaber said.
The agreement is part of efforts by ADNOC to push UAE production capacity to 3.5 million bpd from about 3.2 million bpd currently.
Japan's INPEX began the partnership with ADNOC to develop Upper Zakum in 1978. They were joined by ExxonMobil in 2006.
No financial details were given for the agreement but the ongoing project is estimated to cost around $10 billion. ADNOC has 60 percent of the concession, ExxonMobil 28 percent and INPEX 12 percent.
ADNOC on Tuesday also signed an agreement with a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Co. (CNPC) to raise the onshore Bab field's production by 30,000 bpd to 450,000 bpd by 2020.
On Monday, ADNOC said it will float a minority stake in its petrol station subsidiary in the first privatisation of the totally state-owned oil sector.For all the latest energy and oil news from the UAE and Gulf countries, follow us on Twitter and Linkedin, like us on Facebook and subscribe to our YouTube page, which is updated daily.

Bryan Singer in Hawaii?
In all fairness I have to say that Egan doesn't look like he's telling the truth this time.
Egan tries to avoid telling what happened in Hawaii and the look in his eyes tells me that he wouldn't pass a lie detector test: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...g-emerges.html

Nickelodeon, Victor Salva, Fernando Rivas
In Edmonds, Washington, 19-year-old Jason James Murphy, an aspiring actor was working as a camp counsellor and began grooming a 5-year-old boy for sexual encounters.
In December 1995, an employee of the Hazelwood Elementary School in Lynnwood, Washington, saw Murphy kissing this boy who was now 7. The teacher notified the police who took Murphy into custody on a child molestation charge. Murphy's family posted his bail and shortly after his arrest he was released
In January 1996 Murphy abducted this boy, flew to New York City and checked into a hotel. A clerk at the hotel recognised Murphy and notified the authorities. FBI agents rescued the child and arrested Murphy. Eight months after that a federal jury found Murphy guilty of kidnapping and child molestation. He served 5 of his 7 year sentence behind bars.
Four years after getting out of federal prison, Murphy moved to West Hollywood, California where he registered as a sex offender under his legal name, Jason James Murphy. He began working as a Hollywood production assistant for Nickelodeon under the name Jason Michael Handy.
Murphy was sentenced to six years in prison in 2004 after pleading no contest to two felony counts, one of lewd acts on a child and one of distributing sexually explicit material by email, and to a misdemeanour charge related to child sexual exploitation
Murphy volunteered at a Malibu church, where he worked with 6-year-olds. His job as a production assistant at one of the prominent children's television programs, Nickelodeon, gave him access to child actors on and off the set, and allowed him to exchange email addresses and phone numbers with them.
Murphy, under the professional name Jason James, became a successful freelance child actor casting director. He worked on films such as "Bad News Bears", "The School of Rock" and "Cheaper by the Dozen 2" and "Super 8".
On May 2, 2012, a Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge dismissed the charges against Murphy because all the studio executives who used his services were aware of the casting director's true identity: http://jimfishertruecrime.blogspot.n...philes-in.html
Ezel Channel met H.D. through his godson Joey. On September 8, 2002, Channel asked the 13-year-old H.D. to help him move some furniture at his house. While sitting on the couch, Channel showed H.D. his penis and asked H.D. to show him his; H. complied. Channel showed H.D. how to masturbate and asked H.D. to masturbate in front of him; H.D. complied. At some point Ezel Channel touched H.D.'s penis and asked him to touch his (penis).
With Brian, another 13-year-old boy, Channel had a similar encounter, with Brian and Channel masturbating and Channel touching Brian's penis. Brian then jumped up, grabbed a golf club and asked Channel to take him home (which he did).
When Brandon was 13 years old: he visited Channel at Nickelodeon Studios multiple times. While driving his car Channel reached over to the passenger seat to touch Brandon's genitalia over his clothes. Brandon immediately told Channel to stop.
From November 20, 2005 on, Channel had worked at Nickelodeon Studios for some 7 months. Channel was convicted for lewd conduct on a child. Channel was placed on probation and ordered to register as a sex offender. He was prohibited from being with minors unless in the presence of other adult: http://www.leagle.com/decision/In%20...20v.%20CHANNEL
In 1989 Victor Salva directed his first film "Clownhouse", but was jailed after molesting the 12-year-old star of the flick - Nathan Forrest Winters.
Salva asked Nathan to stay behind for extra rehearsals. During these sessions, Salva forced his young star to give and receive oral sex. Salva kept the camera rolling to add to his burgeoning child porn collection. After Winters had told his parents Salva's house was raided by the cops, who discovered the tapes and sentenced Salva to 3 years in jail and a lifetime on the sex offenders register.
When Salva was released on parole in 1992, 15 months into his sentence, he laid low for a while. But then his fortunes changed when Caravan Pictures, a subsidiary of Disney, hired him to direct "Powder". Salva had even greater success with the Jeepers Creepers franchise and still makes films with the focus on semi-naked youngsters that are terrorised: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/v...der-clownhouse
Fernando Rivas graduated from the prestigious Juilliard School of Music to build a successful career in the United States as a composer, creating music for "Sesame Street" and Disney.
Behind the scenes Rivas manipulated photos in which children were depicted in violent and sexual positions. Rivas also photographed and videotaped a 4-year-old girl, naked and restrained (bound with black Velcro straps). The police arrested Rivas in April 2011 and found 2,300 images and 12 videos of child pornography in Rivas' possession. Some of these images showed children having sex with adults.
Rivas (61 years of age) was sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to creating and sending child pornography: http://www.postandcourier.com/archiv...49ae078c5.html

Debbie Reynolds was an actress herself, most famous for starring in "Singing in the rain" in 1952 (with Gene Kelly). Here's a photograph of Reynolds and Fisher in 2015.
Arguably the most famous child star of the 20th century is Shirley Temple.
In her memoir "Child Star" (1988), Shirley Temple describes that legendary producer Arthur Freed exposed himself to her in 1940/1941 when she was just 11. She didn't get the role of Dorothy in the "Wizard of Oz". This is an excerpt from the book:
""I have something made for just you," he continued, fumbling in his lap. "You'll be my new star!" That phrase had last been used when I was three years old in Kid in Hollywood [one of Temple's early shorts].
Obviously, Freed did not believe in preliminaries. With his face gaped in a smile, he stood up abruptly and executed a bizarre flourish of clothing. Having thought of him as a producer rather than an exhibitor, I sat bolt upright . . . Not twelve years old, I still had little appreciation for masculine versatility and so dramatic was the leap between schoolgirl speculation and Freed's bedazzling exposure that I reacted with nervous laughter.
Disdain or terror he might have expected, but not the insult of humor.
"Get out!" he shouted, unmindful of his disarray, imperiously pointing to the closed door. "Go on, get out!"" - http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2014/...onoring-artist
The French actress Julie Delpy, began acting as a teenager, and in the 1990s tried to expose the casting couch culture: "In France, when I started talking about the fact that at 13, people would hit on me — which I think is pedophilia — people were like, 'Who do you think you are?'?"Delpy says."It destroyed my career. It destroyed it. The press was against me, saying I was a bitch, basically, a horrible person to dare to accuse these directors of being bad for wanting to have sex with a 12-year-old. That was the time, you know: '80s France."
Besides that Delpy told that she "once fought off the amorous advances of a leery casting director by smashing an ashtray over his head": http://www.laweekly.com/film/julie-d...movies-2175880
The most interesting of these stories is Ben Fellows that as a child actor needed protection against the male paedophiles in the acting business. He also tells that he was given drugs and alcohol when he was very young. He was offered for sex by his agent Sylvia Young.
I just don't know if Fellows is telling the truth. My problem with his story is that he has named foreign actors like Tom Cruise and Dolph Lundgren. While this is not impossible, I would expect that (if his story is true) he would name mostly British actors. Fellows also named a famous star on Dynasty that was also a big star on the BBC.
What further hampers his credibility is that he doesn't describe any incident in detail where he was sexually abused. He describes 2 incidents in detail where he wasn't allowed to leave the room, was groped and his penis touched through his pants. He claims that Tom Cruise sexually abused an underage boy in another room (so he admits he didn't see anything happening).
According to the following Fellows is a liar: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...stigation.html
Fellows has told his story to the police, that didn't do anything against the paedophile ring, while the reporter Jack Malvern of the Times newspaper of Rupert Murdoch in October 2012 interviewed him to NOT publish the story. Fellows claims that the BBC paedophile he named stopped the article from coming out, because this was the new star of SKY Television (of Murdoch).
Fellows has testified that he was sexually abused by Member of Parliament Kenneth Clarke (at the time Chancellor of the Exchequer) when he was 14. According to the Daily Mail he was 19 at the time; if the Daily Mail is right (but how could they know?) this makes Fellows look very unreliable.
Ben Fellows also named publicist Max Clifford who was arrested in 2012 and convicted in 2014 to 8 years in prison for sexually abusing a large amount of underage girls. If Fellows accused Clifford before this became public knowledge, this would make his story more credible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Clifford
In the following video Bill Maloney interviews Ben Fellows on May 28, 2013, besides the already named mentioned perpetrators, he also names Peter Stringfellow and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Ben Fellows agrees to take a lie detector test on his accusations: https://youtu.be/hiSBYsK1iMk
Fellows also names Prince Charles and (then Prime Minister) David Cameron as part of the cover-up.

Lesley-Anne Down, Star Wars, Thandie Newton, Fiona Barnett
Lesley-Anne Down (known for her role in the TV-series "North and south") has told that "the casting couch is no myth". She claimed that she got a lot of offers for good roles in return for sexual favours but "never succumbed to any of it".
The strange is that Lesley lived with the 8 year older scriptwriter, actor Bruce Robinson from the time she was 16 for about 10 years. She doesn't say anything bad about Robinson, while this is paedophilia: http://people.com/archive/chatter-vol-7-no-11/
Also interesting to note is that she had an affair for about 6 to 8 weeks with none other than Harrison Ford when they were filming "Hanover Street" in 1979. It's hard to find blame on Harrison Ford here – he divorced in 1979. Lesley-Anne Down said about Harrison Ford "He was lovely and it lasted as long as the filming did": http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...ch-creeps.html
Here's a promotional picture of Harrison and Lesley.
Apparently Harrison Ford likes the leather look. Maybe you remember that in "Indiana Jones" he even showed his skill with a whip.
While some gay men prefer the feminine look, most gays choose the masculine look. Not many in the closet gays wear an earring. Here you can see Harrison Ford with earring and a masculine moustache.
The self-proclaimed witch John Todd (Collins) is known for blowing the whistle on freemasonry. According to his story he killed an officer while stationed in Germany for the US army; instead of being locked up, he was discharged, sent back to the USA, where he became one of the highest Masons (the Council of 13).
I will not write too much on John Todd, who said in the 1970s that all the male stars in (the first) Star Wars are gays, mostly coming from soap operas like "The Young and the Restless": https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=AXmwNWIcIqw
Harrison Ford is pictured with some pretty male actors in what could be too close for comfort for some men.
Here he is with his accomplishes on Star Wars George Lucas and Steven Spielberg in 2008.
Here's Harrison Ford with Daniel Craig (best known for playing James Bond) in 2011.
When Thandie Newton was 16 years old, she began a six-year relationship with the 39-year-old director John Duigan on the set of his film "Flirting" (shot in Australia in 1991). Newton later complained: "I was a very shy, very sweet girl. I wasn't in control of the situation. Would I have liked things to be different? Sure, but I can now value myself more for the way I got through it. I don't see myself as a victim"
She also complains about (another) casting couch experience where a director asked her to sit with her legs wide so he could film her crotch. Newton learned some time later that this director showed this tape to some of his friends: http://www.vulture.com/2016/07/thand...horrifies.html
Thandie Newton starred with Nicole Kidman in "Flirting" and next to Tom Cruise in "Mission Impossible II"
Seeing Tom Cruise being named, made me think about Fiona Barnett that accused the father of Nicole Kidman – psychologist, biochemist Antony Kidman – for the (satanic) ritual abuse of children. Most of this happened in the British colony Australia. After Barnett accused Antony Kidman in 2014, he fled the country and died very suddenly in Singapore.
Fiona Barnett also accused: Richard Nixon (US President), Dr. John Gittinger (psychiatrist of the CIA), Ted Turner (CNN), Pastor Billy Graham (US evilangelist), Gough Whitlam (former Australian Prime Minister), Bob Hawke (former Australian Prime Minister), Paul Keating (former Australian Prime Minister), Kim Beazley (Australian politician), Bob Carr (Former NSW Premier), Kim Beazley (Australian politician) and Richie Benaud (Australian cricket captain and sports commentator).
She also describes that she was sexually abused at the Bohemian Grove in California, USA: http://humansarefree.com/2016/02/sat...xposed-in.html
Fiona Barnett has made some drawings (unfortunately some have been removed) to explain what happened. She also named the (Australian) actors Bruce Spence, John Bell and Jacki Weaver; playwright John Williamson and author Kathy Lette as participants in these crimes against humanity: https://fionabarnett.org/abuse-drawings/
What makes Barnett's story convincing is the following documentary. She goes to a variety of places where these (satanic) rituals took place and describes some ceremonies in detail, including ritual torture, paedophilia, murder, cannibalism and necrophilia.
She describes a ritual murder of a pregnant "breeder" (to breed children for these ritual sacrifices). The woman's belly was cut open; then the baby inside was cut up to collect the blood in a chalice to drink. Then there was a (sexual) orgy.
Here's part 1 of the documentary "Candy Girl": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q3yH9EIPfs
This is part 2 of "Candy Girl": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soZpqrCji5c
Even the former brother-in-law of Nicole Kidman – Angus Hawley - died very suddenly in July 2016 when he was in New York for a business meeting with multibillionaire Warren Buffett: http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/cele...21-gqawnx.html
Barnett also describes that Nicole Kidman was present at these rituals. Barnett is negative about Nicole Kidman, who was a victim of the same satanic cult. Here's (from right to left) Nicole Kidman, father Antony, mother Janelle and younger sister Antonia (Australian TV-presenter).

Nattassja Kinski, Melanie Griffith, Bo Derek, Brooke Shields
In 2010 Charlotte Lewis claimed that she had been raped some 26 years before by the then 50-year-old Roman Polanski in Paris when she was only 16. I call "rape" in this situation exaggerated because she continued the affair (she wanted to be a movie star) until she was passed over to the next actor: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...rector-16.html
Roman Polanski also had sex with the 15-year-old Nattassja Kinski in Paris: http://hotair.com/archives/2009/10/0...minist-leader/
While I call this paedophilia according to the French law it wasn't as the age of consent was 15.
Don Johnson (22) started "dating" Melanie Griffith when she was only 14 years: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...SNL-debut.html
Here's the 14-year-old Melanie Griffith on the arm of Don Johnson.
John Derek got Mary Cathleen Collins (later known as Bo Derek) in the sack in 1973 when she was only 16 years. They fled to Germany to escape statutory rape charges, returned to the USA - after Bo turned 18 - and got married in 1976: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo_Derek
I remember watching "The blue lagoon", which was almost soft porn. Brooke Shields was 15 at the time (according to Brooke Shields she only lost her virginity at 22 by the way).
Before that Brooke Shields had already starred in the even more explicit "Pretty baby" when she was only 13. Brooke's mother – Teri Shields – consented to all these sexual pictures: http://www.dailylife.com.au/dl-peopl...129-3licg.html
Here is Brooke Shields in "Pretty baby" when she was just 13-year-old (there are more explicit photos).
Before "Pretty baby" Brooke Shields had been photographed by Gary Gross in 1975 when she was only 10 years old in what can only be described as child pornography. These pictures show everything what could be seen in a 10-year-old girl. Here's a censored picture (I didn't do the censoring).

Wow, hard act to follow coming right behind that Brookes Shields post!
(Maybe I should have worded that differently?)
I recall an old Saturday Night Live movie short by Albert Brooks (yes, he's a Jew, for those of you how like to take note of such things). The short was called: The Impossible Truth – (October 11, 1975)
(The following was taken from: http://splitsider.com/2013/01/the-sh...albert-brooks/
The scenario is as follows:
This short, which appeared in the very first episode of SNL, is actually the one that features Brooks the least. This piece is set up like an old-timey newsreel made by The Weekly World News, and features a variety of short blackout jokes, with Brooks as the off-camera reporter asking questions to such subjects as a temporarily blinded New York cabbie who is still driving, or an adult man on a date with a elementary-aged girl after the age of consent was lowered to the age of seven in Oregon ("Although the Impossible Truth airs what it must, some things it airs disgusts it."). One segment features a press conference in which the state of Georgia and the country of Israel announce that they are going to switch places, geographically. The Israeli leader quips: "I hope that New Orleans will be easier to deal with than Cairo," and the representative from Georgia says in his drawl, "I know that my entire state is looking forward to heat without humidity!" The sketch is short, sweet, and moves very quickly.)
I had hoped to find the movie short on YouTube or something, but apparently there are no copies online nor on any of the SNL DVD sets, according to the a fore mentioned website. I recall having seen it on TV before. Brookes plays the man dining with the little girl as he tries to impress her as if she were a grown woman. The little girl had no real interest in him...as if she were a grown woman.
Anyone else recall that old SNL bit?

Rob Lowe, Errol Flynn, Elvis, James Dean
Once again a paedophile connected to the Democratic Party – one of the promising young actors of the 1980s: Rob Lowe.
When Rob was on campaign for Michael Dukakis in 1988 in Atlanta, Georgia he invited 2 girls for sex and videotaped it. One of these girls was 16 (Lowe later denied that he knew her age). According to the law this wasn't even paedophilia as the age of consent in Georgia was 16; but making a sex tape of a girl younger than 18 was a criminal offense.
These girls were so proud of catching a movie star that they stole the tape (and some money) from him and told their friends about their wild night out. They even leaked the tape; Al Goldstein sold it for £25. This didn't stop the father and mother of the 16-year-old girl to file charges against Rob Lowe. After the attorney for Lowe settled a civil suit with the father of Jan Parsons, the mother still wanted her share. Rob Lowe's didn't get a real sentence by agreeing to do 20 hours of "community service".
He was later invited to the White House by President Bill Clinton: https://www.theguardian.com/film/200...tures.magazine
Not only was Errol Flynn (best known for his role of Robin Hood) a paedophile; there's even been made a movie starring Kevin Kline and Susan Sarandon in which his sexual affair with the 15-year-old girl Beverly Aadland (for 2 years) was highlighted
At that time Flynn had already been accused – and found not guilty – of the statutory rape of 2 underage girls in 1942: https://www.theguardian.com/film/201...nn-sex-scandal
The story of Elvis Presley puts me in a difficult position, because it's not clear if he actually was a paedophile. Elvis Presley wasn't only one of the top 3 musical acts in history (together with The Beatles and - the man that married his daughter Lisa Marie – Michael Jackson) but also one of the most successful movie stars in the 1950s and 1960s.
Reuben Fine and Brent D. Taylor have stated that Elvis had close relationships with young girls that started when they were around 13 or 14 and ended in their late teens, but didn't have sex. Elvis met Priscilla Ann Beaulieu first in 1959 while he was stationed in Germany when she was 14 years old. In 1962 or 1963 (when she was 16/17), Priscilla effectively started living with Elvis in Graceland. Priscilla says in her autobiography that she and Elvis did not have sex until their wedding night. They married not when she turned 18, but when she was already 22 in 1967. They separated in 1972, and divorced on October 9, 1973: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Person..._Elvis_Presley
Looking at these stories it appears that The King didn't actually engage in any real sexual activity with these underage girls. If Elvis Presley was attracted to girls he was a sick man, but if he didn't have sex with them - he wasn't a paedophile.
The "legend" that made only 3 movies before his sudden death in a car crash (only 1 film was released at that time).
After Elizabeth Taylor's death Kevin Sessums revealed that Taylor had told him about James Dean that "When Jimmy was 11 and his mother passed away, he began to be molested by his minister, I think that haunted him the rest of his life. In fact, I know it did. We talked about it a lot. During 'Giant' we'd stay up nights and talk and talk, and that was one of the things he confessed to me": http://nypost.com/2011/03/26/elizabe...#ixzz1IZGb3AWx

What 10 year has a choice to pose like this, some nakid, forever be in the public domain one way or another.
The photgrapher should have been locked up.
What parents allowed these to be taken in the first place, it would have sent alarms bells of for me.
Thanks for putting all this here Jimmy

Chris Spivey – paedophilia whistleblower
You must have heard about our right of "free speech".
Chris Spivey is one of the persons that investigates paedophilia and puts stories on the internet to expose what's happening. In my opinion Spivey has even more problems with distinguishing between reliable and unreliable statements.
I used some of his stories as a starting point for my own investigation (it shows what information can be found) but didn't put links because there's too much fiction in between the facts; Spivey has amongst others claimed that Lady Di was a Computer Generated Image…
The censored Brooke Shields picture comes from Spivey.
So what can we do when the state media are under control of the same elite that continue to indulge in the most horrible crimes against humanity? While the elite paedophiles are protected by a legal system that protects organised crime Spivey has been repeatedly harassed by "law enforcement". They accused him of possession of child pornography and bestiality...
I'm (almost) as smart as the police and when I saw the censored pictures on the site of Chris Spivey - I figured out that he had seen the uncensored versions. So they accused Chris Spivey with possessing child pornography and putting it on his website (check the censored picture of Brooke Shields for yourself).
I'm not really sure about what the mentioned cause was for the (illegal) arrest of Chris Spivey (or if there were 2 separate cases). If I understand correctly he wasn't arrested for child pornography (in his possession or on his site) but for "Suspicion of harassment", because he (supposedly) posted offensive messages on Facebook.
These cops have such a wonderful sense of humour: they arrested him in a raid at 2 am on the 30th of July 2014 while his 18-year-old daughter and 1-year-old grandson were in the house. When Spivey refused to open the door they used force (not surprisingly this caused damage to his house).
They also tried to take the custody for his grandson away from Spivey's daughter; while Spivey knows that child "care" does a lot of harm to kids.
The charges of possessing child pornography were dropped after it was found out that this collection had been on display at London's Tate Modern as part of a set of iconic images from the 1920s and 1950s. That's according to Spivey - but if he was charged with harassment this cannot be the reason.
Spivey claims that the British legal system has already spent millions of pounds harass him, which sounds a bit absurd to me.
Here you can read the story from Chris Spivey's point of view; undoubtedly the state media will tell a different story: https://butlincat.com/2016/12/14/chr...ive-14-dec-16/

They weren't shocking so much as just sad, and massively inappropriate. Kiddie porn for the masses. She was 10 or 11.... and of course that's the time she lost her virginity, if not younger. She may have had voluntary sex with someone for the first time when she was 22, but that kid was screwed, chewed and tattooed at a very young age.
Great thread Jimmy, keep up the good work friend.

It would be good if Meryl Streep had used her time on that stage to give a speech on this topic instead of embarrassing herself and dropping other people into it without their permission.
Unlike a lot of other people, David walks the talk. Be careful who you trust in this alternative media and research.
Please don't feed the trolls.
When I LIKE a post, it does not always mean I agree, it can also just mean I think a valid point has been made.

It would be great if ANY of the "stars" in Hollywood spoke out about this issue. But not holding my breath, kids.

Excellent thread St Jimmy.
Corporate media's rape problem: Supporting the stars, ignoring the charges
Excerpt from Salon (2013):
"Next, let's get up to speed on director Roman Polanski, whose crime — and continued embrace by the film industry and the entertainment press — bears striking resemblance to the story of Kelly and his treatment by the music industry and press. In 1977, on the pretense of a photo shoot for Vogue Homme, the 43-year-old Polanski brought a 13-year-old girl to Jack Nicholson's house, fed her alcohol and a Quaalude, refused to take her home when she asked him to and then forced her to have oral, vaginal and anal sex with him against her will. The victim pressed charges, the director was indicted on six felony counts, including rape, and he spent 42 days in jail before pleading down to one felony count of unlawful sex with a minor. Before he could be sentenced for his conviction as a child rapist, Polanski fled to France, where extradition laws don't apply.
In the 36 years he has evaded justice, the director has "been able to make what he's wanted. He's enjoyed creative freedom and final cut. He has a diverse career," his agent once assured the Los Angeles Times. (He's also been able to do whomever he's wanted, enjoying the freedom to have sex with a slate of underage girls in France, including a relationship with actress Nastassja Kinski when she was 15.)
One career capstone was his critically acclaimed Holocaust film "The Pianist," for which he won the Academy Award for Best Director in 2002. Polanski wasn't able to accept his Oscar in person because as a fugitive from justice, he was still a wanted sex offender in Los Angeles. As that city's district attorney said at the time, "You don't get a pass for longevity." (That's a concept not understood by actors such as Variety's Peter Bart, who've pressured L.A.'s district attorney to drop Polanski's prison sentence because, you know, it's been a while, and he's just so talented.) Not to worry, though: Harrison Ford accepted the prestigious statue on his behalf and presented it to him later at a French film festival where those pesky U.S. courts couldn't touch him. The Directors Guild of America has been similarly accommodating, allowing him to avoid arrest by teleconferencing into their conference."

Mark Dice:
Hollywood liberals celebrate child rapist
Meryl Streep gives a standing ovation to admitted and convicted pedophile Roman Polanski. Others including Jack Nicholson, Martin Scorsese, Kim Catrall all admire one of the most dispicable men in the history of Hollywood. Here's the story the mainstream media won't tell you about Meryl Streep.

Dice says Harrison Ford "looks shocked and disgusted" that Polanski has been nominated for the award he is presenting. Imo Harrison Ford looks happy and pleased. Here he is again presenting the Oscar for The Pianist (Holocaust film no less) to Polanski in France:

Jeffrey Epstein – BBC
I started my research on the paedophilia in the film industry after I saw several Hollywood names connected to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein ran a child sex ring that was connected to amongst others the Clintons and Donald Trump.
I have found an affidavit by Virginia Roberts that was sexually abused in the child sex ring of Jeffrey Epstein starting when she was 15 years old (from 1999 to 2002). She testified that she had many sexual encounters with Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Alan Dershowitz. She also witnessed many sexual encounters with other underage girls and that they made child pornography. Roberts doesn't name all that were involved with Epstein: http://images.politico.com/global/20...sdershaff1.pdf
Roberts describes 3 sexual encounters with Prince Andrew.
"There was a lot of legal discussion about Andy and his ex-wife ("Fergie"). Then the discussion turned to me. Maxwell said "guess how old she is." Prince Andrew guessed 17. (…)
38. After the picture, Epstein and Maxwell kissed me and said to "have fun." They left Andy and me alone upstairs. We went to the bathroom and bedroom, which were just steps away from where the picture was taken. We engaged in sexual activities there. Afterwards, Andy left quickly with his security. (…)
40. When I got back from my trip, Epstein paid me more than he had paid me to be with anyone else – approximately $15,000. That money was for what I had done and to keep my mouth shut about "working" with the Prince.
41. The second time I had sex with Prince Andrew was in Epstein's New York mansion in spring 2001. I was 17 at time. Epstein called me down to his office. When I got there, Epstein was there, along with Maxwell, Johanna Sjoberg, and Andy. I was very surprised to see him again. Epstein and Maxwell were making lewd jokes about "Randy Andy".
42. I had the impression that Andy had come there to see Epstein and to have sex me with. There was no other apparent purpose for Andy to be there.
43. I was told to go upstairs with Andy and to go to the room I thought of as the "dungeon" (the massage room, but it is really scary looking). I had sex with Andy there. I was only paid $400 from Epstein for servicing Andy that time.
44. The third time I had sex with Andy was in an orgy on Epstein's private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. I was around 18 at the time. Epstein, Andy, approximately eight other young girls, and I had sex together. The other girls all seemed and appeared to be under the age of 18 and didn't really speak English. Epstein laughed about the fact they couldn't really communicate, saying that they are the "easiest" girls to get along with. My assumption was that Jean Luc Brunel got the girls from Eastern Europe (as he procured many young foreign girls for Epstein). They were young and European looking and sounding."
Roberts also described the involvement of Jean Luc Brunel in the child sex ring of Epstein and that she had sex with Brunel many times.
"47. I also had sexual intercourse with Jean Luc Brunel many times when I was 16 through 19 years old. He was another of Epstein's powerful friends who had many contacts with young girls throughout the world. In fact, his only similarity with Epstein and the only link to their friendship appeared to be that Brunel could get dozens of underage girls and feed Epstein's (and Maxwell's) strong appetite for sex with minors.
48. Brunel ran some kind of modeling agency and appeared to have an arrangement with the U.S. Government where he could get passports or other travel documents for young girls. He would then bring these young girls (girls ranging in age from 12 to 24) to the United States for sexual purposes and farm them out to his friends, including Epstein. (…)
51. Jeffrey Epstein has told me that he has slept with over 1,000 of Brunel's girls, and everything that I have seen confirms this claim."
Jean Luc Brunel leads back to the movies…
Brunel ran a "model agency" - MC2 - which included many underage girls and was founded in 2005 with $1 million from Epstein. Brunel reportedly recruited underage girls for the sex ring of Epstein. Both Brunel and his partner, Jeffrey Fuller, denied their involvement with Epstein - but Brunel did visit Epstein in jail repeatedly.
Brunel specialised in "recruiting" young girls from South America, Europe, and East Europe. Brunel paid money to the parents to bring them to the USA. Brunel got US passports for girls as young as 12 — then passed the minors off to perverts like Epstein.
Jean Luc Brunel claims he launched the careers of models such as: Sharon Stone, Christy Turlington, Jerry Hall, Milla Jovovich, Sessilee Lopez , Candace Swanepoel, Marina Lynchuk, Natalia Chabanenko, Elisa Sednaoui (Tel Aviv), Ginta Lapina (Latvia), and Liu Dan (China).
Diane Sawyer investigated Jean Luc Brunel in 1988 for "60 Minutes". The program interviewed nearly two dozen models who had been sexually assaulted by Brunel and/or his fellow agent, Claude Haddad. CBS spoke 5 models that had been drugged and raped by Brunel and/or his friends. Producer Craig Pyes said that "Hundreds of girls were not only harassed, but molested": http://jezebel.com/5603638/meet-the-...-girls-for-sex
A former male model - Pedro Gaspar – died in New York in 2012 under suspicious circumstances (official cause of death: cocaine and alcohol). Who knows what Gaspar had seen as he had an apartment directly above the office of MC2 and also mingled with lots of models: http://www.thedailybeast.com/article...llionaire.html
Unfortunately River Phoenix never got the chance to tell the full story about the paedophile sex cult "The children of God" (later renamed to "The Family") and his brother Joaquin hasn´t told much about it (maybe he was too young). This cult is not restricted to the USA but also operates in Europe.
Natacha Tomey wrote a book about her experiences growing up in this sex cult. She was also sexually abused from the age of 4. She was made to believe that the world would end on December 31, 1999. Tomey has told that she "escaped" from the cult when she was 18: https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/re...e-age-of-four/
Actress Rose McGowan also spent some years of her childhood in "The children of God" in Italy. She confirms the sexual activity, but was never molested because her father protected her (he was the head of the chapter), before her family escaped: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...side-cult.html
Garth Ancier was (at least financially) involved in the DEN paedophile sex ring. Ancier oversaw the launch of Fox television and also served as president of BBC Worldwide America.
For many years the BBC has covered up the perversities of not only Jimmy Savile, but also of other paedophiles in high places (for example Prince Andrew). Lots of actors that have worked for the BBC also made a name for themselves in the movies. Because of censorship in Britain it is impossible to find out how widespread the sexual abuse of children in the quarters of the BBC really is.
Prince Andrew leads directly to Crown Prince Charles and his good friend Jimmy Savile. Savile was such a good friend of the family that Charles put Savile on his short list to be the godfather of Prince Harry: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...savile-5868110
When you look on the internet Savile is pictured with many celebrities. Savile was repeatedly photographed with the Royals. Here are some pictures of Jimmy Savile with Prince Charles, Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana.

Re: Sametime Configuration Validator
The Download link doesn't work, I use to get a refused access message...
We've addressed a number of the problems posted here in comments. We are working to get the new changes made available to everyone as soon as possible. Please watch this site and the Sametime Blog for additional informaiton coming soon.
Trying to run this against my older Sametime standalone server, I have added da.nsf.txt, names.nsf.txt, notes.ini, sametime.ini and stconfig.nsf.txt. However, while loading configurations, I get a slightly different error from Rob Kirkland's "An internal error occurred during: "Domino Structured Text". String index out of range: -1"
Seems to be the names.nsf.txt file that's causing the problem. Not sure what to look for in the text file for what might be "out of the ordinary" per your answer back to Rob.
I am able to run validation against my environment with my community server added and the ssc deployment manager websphere configuration file. But I have 2 (or 3) issues:
1) If I add my Gateway configuration file or my BWM configuration file (individually or together), they do load successfully, but I get "An internal error occurred during: "Validating Configuration". java.lang.NullPointerException"
2) I have added an additional Domino server which is my LDAP server, with the notes.ini file and exported da.nsf and names.nsf. In this case, the load of the configuration fails with basically the same error - "An internal error occurred during: "Notes.INI". java.lang.NullPointerException"
Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
Very minor comment on the validator for a future fix.
Sametime L3...Actions > Open Configuraiton Analyzer - just needs spelling correction to "Configuration"
Cheers and thanks for the tool.
Fabien, try unchecking "Group items by category" and then make sure you select all of the Features listed. I tried to reproduce this but was unsuccessful.
I followed the procedure but when try to add the location of the validator it shows "There are no categorized items" in stead of having Sametime Servibaility that I should check (page 19, point 7)
Not a bad tool. I can see the benefit of using this to assist with finding problems and taking a proactive approach. Could be used to compliment Sametime health checks for customers. Would like to see a little more flesh on the installation notes. One thing that I'm not sure about is the "server types." DB2 is listed, what data is required for that? Also in the same drop down Domino is listed as well as LDAP. What heading do I use for the Domino LDAP server that Sametime is looking up to?
I get this error while reading configuration from backup file.
An internal error occurred during: "WebSphere Configuration".
New Update
The latest version addresses the challenge of BIRT being installed. This has been split out as a seperate step for setup.
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software currently installed: Sametime Configuration Validator 126.96.36.199205311543 (com.lotus.sametime.serviceability.feature.configuration.feature.group 22.214.171.124205311543)

I am not able to install this tool with steps mnetioned in pdf. BRIT does not appear , i only see Validator while installing via eclipse and it too fails.
Vera Nentwich - There are currently no install details for installing this into the Notes 8.5 Environment. This has not been tested. For now this does require a stand-alone Eclipse environment.
Rob Kirkland - Rob, which database were you exportering? Can you look at the generated text file and see if there is anything out of the ordinary. We have not encountered this problem before.
Aditya Chaganti - Try just selecting the "Indigo UpdateSite" to install the BIRT Framework first, then repeast and install only the Sametime Configuration Validator. If your not able to load the "Indigo UpdateSite" can you access "http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo" with your browser?
Sjaak Ursinus - Thank you I have entered that bug in our tracking database. We are working on a better solution to this.
I have found a programming mistake/error in the export agent of the "Sametime L3 Tool Database" you have to use the browse button in the "Database open" dialog otherwise the export will file because the code can't find a valid path to write the output/dump file to.
Further , getting the below error :
Missing requirement: Sametime Serviceability 126.96.36.199205311543 (com.lotus.sametime.serviceability.app 126.96.36.199205311543) requires 'package org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api 0.0.0' but it could not be found
To: com.lotus.sametime.serviceability.app [18.104.22.168205311543]
I cannot see the BIRT framework appearing in the list of available software that can be installed and also the sametime preqreuisities are failing.
I am unable to install the validator tool , BRIT is not appearing , i only see Validator while installing via eclipse and it too fails.i also get the below errors very often :
Some sites could not be found. See the error log for more detail.
Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.7/content.xml.
Software caused connection abort: connect
Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/content.xml.
The Sametime L3 Tool Database Exporter isn't working for me. I run it. I add the file created by it to the list of configurations. I run Load All Configurations. I get the following error: "Problem Occurred. 'Domino Structured Text' has encountered a problem. An internal error occurred during: 'Domino Structured Text'. String index out of range: -2"
good idea, but how should it be installed in a Lotus Notes 8.5 eclipse based environment? It doesn't make sense to install eclips separatly again.

Have you ever seen So Random on the Disney Channel? It's kind of like Saturday Night Live for kids. And it can be pretty funny. There's a character named Rufus, a kid with tons of excuses that always begin with "you're not going to believe this."
Watch just 30 seconds of this to get the idea and hear what Rufus sounds like. Watch the whole clip for a lot of laughs.
And so I open this post with a "you're not going to believe this" in Rufus' voice.
Maybe that shouldn't intro my post if it needs such an explanation. But it just sounds so good in my head. We use Rufus' line a lot around here.
For many years, the most coveted Christmas gift in our family was a roll of toilet paper.
|I have no idea the story behind this photo, but it's pretty awesome.
I'm completely serious.
There is a cute mountain town about 90 minutes from San Diego that we went to a lot as a kid. We developed a tradition that lasted several years of going to Julian to celebrate my youngest sister's birthday, which usually fell days to a week after Thanksgiving. My parents would often let us Christmas shop for each other while we were there.
One of the first years we were there to celebrate Ali's birthday, my parents bought some Christmas toilet paper. It actually looks more like crepe paper, and I imagine it would NOT be comfortable to wipe with. It says Merry Christmas all over it in red and green
We thought it was pretty funny too and it became a family joke. That year when I was opening my gifts on Christmas morning, one was several boxes nestled in each other—and deep inside was the Christmas toilet paper. A gift I was definitely NOT expected. We all laughed SO hard.
When the next Christmas rolled around, everyone began to speculate who would get the toilet paper that year. When we unpacked our holiday decorations it was always fun to find the Christmas toilet paper. We determined that last years recipient would gift it the following year.
That toilet paper went around the family many times. Creatively packaged and wrapped and I think it was even given to some of our pets also. Anytime we had a guest with us on Christmas (roommates, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends etc) they usually got the toilet paper. Bean got it early on in our dating or married years and I think we've given it to Miss Rose now too. I think this year Gracie is old enough to appreciate it—so this may be her inaugural year of the Christmas toilet paper. She loves words like fart and poop.
Yup. The toilet paper lives on. In fact just this weekend as I was unpacking Christmas stuff, my youngest sister was here and spotted the toilet paper. "You still have that?" It even still has the plastic wrap around it.
Does your family have any fun gag gift traditions? I'd love for you to play along with my 12 Days of Christmas! Share your story in the comments or if you're feeling super inspired, write your own blogpost and share the link the comments.

Let's just file this under craziest sounding combo but most delicious dinner that we scarfed down in record time. I mean, nachos for dinner, who wouldn't go nuts? But why stick with regular nachos (not that they aren't awesome too!)? But these? These are loaded up with chicken that tastes like some sort of combo of your absolute favorite crispy and soy saucy Chinese dish and biting into a juicy pineapple all at the same time. Kinda salty, kinda sweet, kinda crispy and plenty juicy! Top it all off with a creamy melted cheese sauce. Then a crunchy sweet creamy coleslaw with large chunks of sweet and summery pineapple and finished off with a cool creamy and a tiny bit spicy Sriracha sour cream. Um, yes.
If I ever realized my dream of owning a food truck (not really, sort of, maybe?), this would be the first thing on the menu. It would sell out everyday, mostly because my family would be there to eat it. I mean you should have seen how quickly this platter of nachos was descended upon and destroyed!
Okay, now it's time to walk you though all the options here. I will explain how you can keep it super simple when in a time crunch and still have an awesome dinner to how a few extra minutes can help you take it through the roof crazy good.
Option 1: The easiest and quickest finish is to remove cooked chicken from slow cooker, shred, then drizzle with just a bit of the cooking liquid from the crock and discard the remaining. Top with shredded cheese along with the slaw and Sriracha sour cream (those two items are a must!).
Option 2: Thicken the cooking liquid on the stove (directions in recipe) and use as a drizzle or toss chicken with sauce and then serve with shredded cheese and the slaw and sour cream.
Option 3: Go all out. Thicken the sauce, toss some of it with chicken, broil chicken to make it crispy. Make a melty (easy!) cheese sauce (worth it!) and then finally, of course, top with the pineapple slaw and Sriracha sour cream.
Check out the full directions in the recipe at the end of the post.
You can add a few sliced jalapeños on top, some fresh cilantro, really whatever you can think of that puts your own stamp on it. How will you serve your nachos for dinner?

I never enter contests. Sometimes someone else just throws me in the mix. This one is sweet because I was being juried along with three photographers I look up to, William Eggleston and Richard Misrach and JR. I would have been pleased not to have received this team effort award had any of those three been chosen. Aperture and Steidl in particular are publishers I admire deeply. None of us at BurnBooks thought we could have possibly been chosen over the aforementioned…Yet we will take our moment in the sun, because we had no agenda on the book but to make the best damn book we could from shooting to final art object. And this is what we are being honored for. This opens new doors of course, but none of us at Burn want to be more than a small boutique..Our proudest moment will be of course when (based on a true story) is passed out for free as a super hi quality newspaper version in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. Only a small gesture of pay back pay forward to the Cariocas who made Rio feel like home.
This award is not for me. This is for Bryan and Eva and Candy and Diego and Michelle and Tonico and Haik and Panos and Kim and Anton and Susan and Chris and Roberta and Renata and Kamila and Viviane and Marjorie and Alejandra and Andrea and Mike and Michael and Claudia and Beto and Mira and Magnum and Mr. Skater and Fernanda and Vi and Sue and Erin and Marcela aaaaand Mom!!
This little boost allows BurnBooks even more opportunity to publish the books of unknown photographers and icons alike. A bunch of stuff is in the works. To be announced. Yet I can tell you for sure we will publish the very best quality books for both the famous and the not so…..We cannot be all things to all people. Everything we do is just but a token. My place on the planet is in Hemingway's Clean Well Lighted Place. Good not big.
Were it not for this audience none of this would be happening. We give to each other. Pretty damned clear even if you are the worst pessimist in the room. The chemistry of this audience is not the norm I don't think. We ain't perfect but collectively we actually ARE something special. Some of this online chat WILL be part of a book someday. Now if only we could find a publisher…hmmm
My congratulations to all in my audience. YOU are the award winners here. Not a doubt in my mind.
A big warm hug to all of our esteemed colleagues and honored nominees in our same book category:
APERTURE for "Petrochemical America" (photographs by Richard Misrach)
STEIDL for "Chromes" (photographs by William Eggleston)
HARRY N ABRAMS INC for "Women are Heroes" (photographs by JR)
21st EDITIONS for "The Prophecies of William Blake" (prints by Mitch Dobrowner)

Diversity Scholarships
Earth Activist Training is committed to increasing the diversity of the global permaculture movement. We can offer a limited number of pay-what-you-can scholarships for people of color working in environmental and food justice areas.

On a Fundraising Ethic- A Message from Starhawk
EAT is a program of both practical skills and consciousness change. Permaculture, nonviolence, wilderness awareness, and magic all teach us to look at the world upside down and sideways, to see patterns and relationships, not just things. When we do, we go through the personal transformation we call "empowerment."
We want to not just teach about that transformation, but to embody it in every aspect of what we do, beginning with how we approach the cost of this program.
We're asking you to take an active role in the fundraising work. One of the principles of permaculture that you'll learn about is "stacking functions": one element of a project provides multiple benefits. In sharing the efforts of fundraising, we all gain.
- Asking for help can be hard. But changing the world is essentially a process of asking for help. No one can do it alone. So our personal process of transformation begins.
- Fundraising is a vital skill for organizers, permaculturalists, and activists. Every project you want to do that extends beyond your personal means will require fundraising of some sort. We will all learn from the experience you gain in contributing to this program.
- If you invest your time and energy to make this happen, it will belong to you, not us, and you'll get more out of it.
Personal Fundraising Ideas and ways to reduce your costs
We strongly encourage every applicant to take an active role in generating your own scholarship through creativity and personal effort. There may also be ways to reduce your costs. Here's some suggestions to get started:
- Are your friends and family out shopping for your holiday or birthday presents? Could you ask them to gift you with money towards this training instead?
- Would your community or organization support you to come? In return, you might offer to do a presentation when you return and teach something of what you learn. This really stacks functions and extends the impact of the learning you receive.
- Would your community support a second person to come with you? If two of you can co-train together, you'll have support and be more effective.
- Would your friends help you do a fundraising event: a garage sale, a raffle, a concert, a public ritual, a silent auction, a potluck, a formal tea party, a video screening, a bowling tournament, a guided herb walk, a poetry reading, a theater event, a ___?
- Do you make crafts or art items that you could sell? Grow veggies or flowers? Have access to herbs you can dry for teas or potpourri? Can you offer tarot readings, foot massages, fresh cookies, live music? Get a booth at your local market or fair. Add a donation jar and attractive sign to your booth, telling why you're fundraising. EAT alumni have successfully sold organic pancake mix at Quaker Meetings, and (extending into the cyber-fair) sold dolls of political figures, complete with pins, on e-Bay.
- Online fundraising can be very effective if you have a large network of friends who might help you get to EAT. Not all such sites allow fundraising for individuals, but Give Forward does, at minimum fee. Remember, such a campaign takes time, so start early.
- Some people work in mainstream jobs where their employers contribute half the costs of "continuing education." Ask. Do you have vacation coming? This might be the time.
- Your tuition may be tax deductible as an education expense (if you itemize taxes and/or file taxes as a small business). If you are someone's tax dependent and they pay for your tuition, it may be a deduction for them.
- Some colleges have paid the fee for their students to attend EAT. If you are currently enrolled in college, contact your financial aid counselor to see if there are any funds for specialized training needed for your degree. Ask your professors and/or department secretary about school programs that might contribute. Talk to your student organizations, too.
- Some people may be able to sublet their normal living space, while away at the two-week EAT session. Can you offer someone a two-week vacation in a desirable location?
- Remember that we will feed you for the two weeks you are in EAT, so your food budget is halved for the month.
" I know that some people probably are disappointed when they read that you expect them to raise some of their scholarship. I was a little apprehensive about asking friends. My friends rushed to support me. Even a man who was only an acquaintance came to me and asked could he help, because he felt that what I would bring back to our community is what is needed. … My faith has grown! In the future I will be able to encourage others to raise money and keep their hopes up along the way.… It feels so good to know as I write my letter that my money is making its way there. A peace and an accomplishment! I look forward to meeting you! I am so grateful to have found EAT and to know I will be a part of it!"
– Karen Jenkins, Portland, Oregon. January 2006 EAT
"The EAT training changed my life and has allowed me to hold a positive vision of the future. After the EAT training in January 2002, a fellow EATer Abi and I converted an '82 diesel VW van to run on veggie oil and traveled all throughout the US and Canada talking about permaculture and alternative fuel. The Earth Activist Training is a training like no other."

Nothing could be easier. No final fees, no listing fees.

- Alter your pricing structure to suit your needs
- List auctions for services only when you need more work
- Close all auctions when you are busy and fully booked up.
- You build up a feedback rating much like eBay – the more you do, the better it becomes, the more business you get long term.
- You can have a store, showcase yourself
When you need more money, advertise your listings and wait for the orders to come in. Job done 🙂
The beauty of this website is that you can build up credible feedback that other people can instantly use to assess your work, and how you communicate with people.
This builds trust in your services and ultimately keeps you busy.
When you want more money, upload another auction and wait for the orders.
The fun bit:

So come on, get stuck in! Visit Marketers Marketplace a real Flippa alternative.
Please note, we do not allow any "nasty stuff" – this includes pornography, hate, illegal stuff or material that can be defamatory in nature(look that up if you don't know what it means) – simply put if you are not sure, ask us and we will happily give our opinion.

And God said, "Let there by light," and there was light – Genesis 1:3
It's amazing how certain scripture passages I've heard my entire life can take on new meaning. I suppose that's why people read the Bible over and over again; they constantly find new depths and implications – that's how rich this book is.
What struck me reading the beginning of Genesis yesterday was God's intricately structured design in creating the world. Everything is perfectly balanced and all elements have their counterparts: light and darkness, water separated from dry land, the sky and the earth, the sun and the moon and stars, birds that fly in the air and fish that swim in the sea.
It's beautifully designed. Symmetrical and self-sustaining. He commanded that the land produce vegetation with seed bearing plants and the trees to produce fruit with seeds. He commanded the creatures inhabiting the earth to be fruitful and multiply in number. It's a complete system. A well-oiled machine. Functional as it is beautiful. Steve Jobs, who is renown as an innovative inventor who appreciates beautiful design, has absolutely nothing on God.
God was the first true artist. The first true innovator and creator. Genesis 1:31 – God saw all that He had made, and it was very good.
I suppose that's why we are intrinsically drawn to beauty. That's why I love living in southern California – there are ample beaches, mountains and hiking trails. Here, I'm able to experience nature – God's creation – in a way I wasn't able to while living in New York City.
Have you ever been lost in a deep forest surrounded by nothing but trees and the sound of wind and birds? Or seen a vivid sunset that's so stunningly vivid that your heart literally aches at its beauty? Spent hours gazing in wonder at the nighttime sky and pondered the vastness of the universe? It's moments such as these that I become aware of God the Artist. The Creator. Witnessing such beauty evokes a sense of deep longing, reverence and worship.
This world – this creation and and everything in it – is a perfectly designed miracle. And it's "very good," as God proclaimed. And I'm reminded that our Heavenly Father has entrusted us to take care of this beautiful world He created.
Me: Father, thank you for the beauty of this world You created. What is our responsibility as stewards of the earth?
Him: Genesis 1:26 – Let us make mankind in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.

A social enterprise which provides sanitary towels for women who cannot afford to buy their own has secured a deal with a major retailer.
Hey Girls is now available on shelves at Asda Bridge of Dee, Aberdeen Beach and Portlethen.
Celia Hodson, founder and CEO at Hey Girls, said: "This is a very exciting opportunity for us and we're delighted to have launched our sanitary products in Asda Bridge of Dee, Aberdeen Beach and Portlethen."
The brand continues to tackle period poverty through its Buy One Give One model, so every time a customer buys a packet of towels for themselves, they also pay for one to be donated to someone in the local area who is struggling with these additional costs of living.
It aims to sell one million pads in stores across the country.

For the second part of our journey through Southwest USA (Check out Part I), we drove to the town of Moab. With two of Utah's mighty national parks located close by, hippie Moab was the perfect base location to easily access Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, as well as Dead Horse Point State Park and the Colorado River. Katie, Sarah and I, set out to explore the "out-of-this-world" red rock landscapes and endless canyon scenery of eastern Utah.
Everlasting Canyonlands
Less than an hour's drive from Moab, will get you atop Island in the Sky and its spectacular, awe inspiring views of the Green River in Canyonlands National Park.
Feeling like you're on top of the world is an understatement. The vast and endless canyon landscapes that unfold below your feet are mesmerizing. Its impossible to capture their grandeur in photographs.
The landscape seems to go on forever and the sense of scale is completely lost. We loved that when we went there, even though it's a known location, it feels off the beaten track. No more crowds and annoying tourists. Just you, a couple of other chill photographers and the sunset. You can't put a price on that when you're visiting some of the most famous Parks in the US.
Our next stop: Arches National Park
Arches of Outer Space
The overwhelmingly beautiful Arches National Park was high on my list of places that I wanted to photograph and explore during our Southwest trip. This landscape photographer's haven is for sure one of my favourite places in Utah. Endless photo possibilities and compositions, stunning sandstone formations and windows. An all-round geological beauty!
The first time we got there was just in time for the sunset after a long day of driving. What a stunning sunset it was, seen from the Elephants Parade and the Garden of Eden. Arches got us off guard and we were completely thrown by the gorgeous scenery so trying to capture it in a photograph was a challenge for the three of us, a tough one.
We returned the following morning and hiked the Park Avenue Trail surrounded by the classic, movie-like western landscapes. But the best experience was waiting for us that night at a moonlit Double Arch. I wanted to get some night shots of the arches and we knew time was limited, so after a long day of exploring and driving around, we headed out late at night to Arches once more. The girls were not as thrilled about it, we seriously were exhausted, but I was determined to get my photo there.
We arrived at the planned location, and thankfully there were not many photographers or people in sight. When we got to Double Arch, the guys there left and we had it all to ourselves. So lighting and creating the images we wanted was easier that way.
The night was very bright and clear, the cold diminished and the stillness reigned. The experience felt surreal, an outer space adventure in a far away planet.
We were able to get the shots we wanted and all the time I was there, I felt grateful and honoured. Nature was smiling at us and we were smiling back, blessed to be there.
Photography has taken me to many incredible places in my life so far and I feel the need to portray them in the best possible way I can, to capture what I felt when I was there. It's important not to take for granted the opportunities that life gives you, and value their worth, not many people get that chance. To travel is the best gift you can give yourself in a world so chaotic and stress driven, an encounter with nature might be all that you need.

STOCKTON - The heart of downtown Stockton may soon have one fewer vacancy if developer Dan Cort manages to pry the historic B&M Building from the clutches of bureaucracy.
STOCKTON - The heart of downtown Stockton may soon have one fewer vacancy if developer Dan Cort manages to pry the historic B&M Building from the clutches of bureaucracy.
On Tuesday, he won approval from the City Council to buy the historic building. Today, he awaits another key vote, clearing the way for the sale. Cort said he has a good feeling, but it hasn't always been easy.
Once in his possession, Cort plans to rehabilitate the three-story building, constructed downtown in the 1860s and located between the Hotel Stockton and the cinema.
The first floor will be a cafe, wine bar and specialty grocery store under the proposal. The Stockton Convention & Visitor's Bureau plans to take the second floor for at least 10 years.
"Once projects like that happen, let's open the floodgates," he said. "Let's open our creative souls a little bit, and let's start talking in positive terms."
Despite Cort's cash offer of $209,400, the building last year became entangled in a statewide fight over redevelopment agencies, like Stockton's, which bought the B&M in 2001 for the market price of $570,000.
The city and Cort's firm, Cort Cos., had struck a deal, and the sale went into escrow when officials in Sacramento froze it, along with all the activity of California's redevelopment agencies statewide.
Local governments like Stockton used redevelopment for decades to spruce up blighted areas. State officials struggling to balance California's budget chose to redirect the taxes that cities and counties had captured for this purpose back to the schools and other state-funded entities.
Stockton's former Redevelopment Agency owned 26 pieces of property, some more desirable than others. A question of how to handle the prized Bob Hope Theatre and Children's Museum - two properties still in limbo - has yet to be resolved.
The B&M, named from the owners of the 1930s, Joseph Breidenbach and Alexander McDonald, has sat vacant for about a decade.
Stockton's Redevelopment Agency bought the building under the same plans that created the cinema and renovated the Hotel Stockton.
At least two other firms with designs on the B&M failed to make a deal. In 2007, high-end furniture chain Black Sea Gallery tried, and in 2009, JAM Factory proposed turning the building into a nightclub.
Wendy Saunders, the city's director of economic development, said Cort may have to spend up to $1 million to renovate the building. Cort said he has a lower estimate.
In yet another step in the process, the Stockton Successor Agency Oversight Board today is expected to approve the sale. State finance officials will have 60 days to overturn the deal.
"We hope they don't do anything about it," Saunders told the City Council.
Mayor Ann Johnston praised the project as "long overdue."
In a long career, Cort has renovated more than 1 million square feet of downtown Stockton space. The B&M appears to be the next addition to that legacy.
"No matter what they say in Sacramento," Cort said, "we can't halt life as we know it in California."

Objectifs :
The field of Nonlinear Computational Mechanics has grown very rapidly during the last decade. Due to the dramatic power increase of computers and workstations, research is very active. On the other hand, the development of robust and user friendly engineering softwares allows a wide range of applications in industry. The course presents an overview of the classical models and of the numerical methods used in the area, and shows how they can be applied in practical cases. Theory includes material and geometrical nonlinearities, and the numerical implementation in computer codes. Applications are taken from classical domains like aeronautical, spatial or car industry, but also from microelectronics, the field of energy for sustainable development, biomaterials, etc...
Contenu :
Computer training is scheduled in the course. Students will be invited to choose their style: as developpers, they will have the opportunity to introduce new features in a selected finite element code; as user, they will have to perform finite element analyses on simple case studies involving material and/or geometrical nonlinearities.
Expected results: After the course, attendants should have a good knowledge of some basic aspects in mechanics of material, including the material constitutive equations, the numerical algorithms and the finite element procedures. They will have the ability :
to choose a material model and the proper procedure to identify the material parameters from experiment;
to perform calculations of the stress or temperature fields in nonlinear cases, and to successfully manage the iterative processes associated to nonlinearities;
to deal with contact problems;
to evaluate the quality of a FE result obtained with a nonlinear computation (mesh sensitivity, numerical integration).
