Array I believe that a child is somewhat born evil, through the power of sight, hearing and with the human brain he or she becomes the devil. Thus, ‘the reflections of the monkey’, as we all know it, what monkey sees a monkey will do. In other ways to explain it, a child (the seed) is dependent to the things around him or her in order to survive. There will be always a child that we know as of now called the “bad seed�. Take a child walking with the mother for example; As the child sees this, the child picks the flowers too. What if the young in this case the child see the mother does something bad. For 19 years, I walked alone, and I will walk alone for 70 more years.

Astronomers have found a big, honking chunk of the missing” matter, but that doesn’t resolve the dark matter problem. For our purposes protons and neutrons are the big story, and they are an example of a type of matter called baryons. These new observations with the Chandra X-ray Telescope have detected some hitherto unseen clouds of ordinary matter, baryons to you and me. Total it all up, and we get the amount of matter in the universe, or at least, the amount associated with galaxies. we’ve got a baryon budget, and the dark matter breaks it handily. In fact, recent observations of the way the matter is distributed in galaxies suggests that you may need self-interacting” dark matter; that is, matter which doesn’t interact with regular matter (except gravitationally), but does interact with other dark matter, and that’s really weird.
The important thing to understand about dark matter is that the existence of dark matter pretty much requires some sort of exotic matter. In other words, 90% of the matter in the universe is made up of stuff that nobody has ever seen in a lab or anywhere else on earth.

-ne The Victorian Government in their response to the VCEC Final Report , Making the Right Choices: Options for Managing Transport Congestion, have come down decisively against moves to implement (or even think about implementing) road congestion pricing. for the purposes of looking after 2000 cyclists’) at the same time it levies a levy on parking in Melbourne city to do exactly that.The Government’s response states ‘Government policy on road use charging is clear on this point: the Government will not toll existing roads and will only accept the use of tolls to fund new roads in defined situations…’. arrangements that encourage citizens to drive cars rather than use public transport (Response 20) and, most importantly, it will consider off-peak fares for public transport (Response 22) and time-of-day charging for CityLink and EastLink.The opposition problems the Government has experienced over pricing traffic on EastLink have made it phobic about any form of road pricing.

In more and more cities across the continent, non-Muslims are being harassed, robbed, mugged, raped, stabbed and even killed by Muslims, yet EU leaders continue their quest to merge Europe and the Arab world by making it easier for Muslims to enter and settle in Europe.The fact that European leaders and media voice such concern for “Islamophobia” yet do very little to stop attacks against Christian Europeans demonstrates the creeping dhimmitude in Europe which has been accurately predicted by Bat Ye’or. Young Muslims justify their behaviour towards women who do not wear the headscarf, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, by referring to the Salafist teaching which says that these women are whores and should be treated as such. [Boyce’s footnote: The last Zoroastrian family left Abshahi in 1961, after the rape and subsequent suicide of one of their daughters.] It was noticeable that the villages which were left to the Zoroastrians were in the main those with poor supplies of water, where farming conditions were hard.- - - - - - - - - -Note: The following examples are all from Sweden, which is probably the most politically repressive and totalitarian country in the Western world, with virtually no public debate about immigration. Still, the muggings, rapes, beatings, murders and daily harassment described here could be from virtually any country in Western Europe, and indeed from any region in the world where Muslims are numerous enough to harass their non-Muslim neighbors: Veiled girl gang in Stockholm attacks old ladiesA group of five teenage girls have been accused of a wave of vicious attacks against old women in Stockholm… The girls, aged 17 and 18, have been remanded in custody for attacking the women in Tensta and Rinkeby, suburbs of the capital.Their victims, mostly in their seventies and eighties, were usually mugged outside their homes…In one of the muggings, the girls stole a 71-year-old’s handbag and pushed her down a flight of steps. In another case, a 78-year old woman was pushed to the ground and kicked where she lay.The girls worked in groups and wore veils during the attacks, making it harder for the police to identify them.While Sweden Slept, by Bruce BawerRecently, the city of Stockholm carried out a survey of ninth-grade boys in the predominantly Muslim suburb of Rinkeby. I guess you can say they get f***ed to pieces.”The New York Times and Sweden: The Dark Side of Paradise Ethnologist Maria Bäckman, in her study “Whiteness and gender,” has followed a group of Swedish girls in the suburb of Rinkeby outside Stockholm, where native Swedes have been turned into a tiny minority of the inhabitants due to rapid immigration… Bäckman relates that several of the girls she interviewed stated that they had dyed their hair to avoid unwanted attention and sexual harassment. Gangs of 14- and 15-year-olds raping and robbing is now common in many Stockholm suburbs… At the same time, the underfunded and undermanned Swedish police officers feel “unmotivated” to fight crime, according to a study made by police researcher Stefan Holgersson, who interviewed 2000 Swedish police officers.One person who seems to have a decent grasp of what’s happening with Muslim immigration in Sweden and Europe is Christopher Caldwell, who has written several articles about the topic, including one in the New York Times in February 2006 called “ Islam on the Outskirts of the Welfare State.” Visiting the Stockholm immigrant suburb of Rinkeby, Caldwell asked whether something like the French riots of the fall of 2005, with burning cars and rampaging gangs, could happen in Sweden. Not because they’re angry — because they think it’s fun.”One person who seems to have a decent grasp of what’s happening with Muslim immigration in Sweden and Europe is Christopher Caldwell, who has written several articles about the topic, including one in the New York Times in February 2006 called “Islam on the Outskirts of the Welfare State.” Visting the Stockholm immigrant suburb of Rinkeby, Caldwell asked whether something like the French riots of the fall of 2005, with burning cars and rampaging gangs, could happen in Sweden.

Times is expected to end freestanding book reviews is but one example of a growing trend and serious issue for authors: Book review space is in decline.Author J. We actually have people advocating that review space should be devoted to books people don’t read? Let’s face it: Nobody picks up a newspaper for the review section, unless they suspect their book/play/movie/CD is going to be reviewed.What does entice people to read reviews? People read reviews of books they’re thinking about buying, or of books they’ve written, or of books their friends have written. If the review section is filled with assessments of books people haven’t heard of and have no interest in reading they’ll just move on to the next section.Now, I’m not up on the current statistics, but let’s make up some just for the sake of example. I don’t remember if this was Canada, North America, America or global, but the point is, these aren’t accurate numbers, although they are loosely based off general comments I’ve heard on the stats.)So, let’s say the sale of books breaks down like this:22% mystery22% romance17% non-fiction/resource 2% western 5% horror 5% fantasy/sci fi15% childrens12% literatureIf these are the sales figures then review space should be allotted accordingly. And if they lose the audience they’ll lose their ad revenue for their section and, ultimately, their job.You know how the newspapers know enough people aren’t reading the reviews? However, I can honestly say that most people I know will read reviews of books they’re already interested in buying. I don’t read many reviews myself, but I’ll read reviews of the new Rebus books. Therefore, I never have to consider what books are marketable and what books aren’t when I do reviews. I would certainly hope to have the liberty of inserting my own personal pick of the week, but I would expect to be assigned to review more popular books people are interested in reading about.I’ve known people who’ve read reviews, thought a book sounded interesting and then they went to look for it and couldn’t find it anywhere. If it happens a few times they’ll stop reading those reviews, because the books are inaccessible to them anyway. Same with my mother-in-law, and half a dozen others.The reality is, if reviewers are going to insist on largely covering books people have no interest in reading, it stands to reason that nobody will read those reviews either. And if it doesn’t reflect the interests of consumers it’s just an indulgence destined to go the way of the dinosaur.The moral is, if we can’t get reviewers to be relevant enough to save the review space, we have to be forward thinking. I wouldn’t be overjoyed to open up a review section that only covered Patterson, Steel, Crichton and Brown, but if I opened up a review section that had 60-70% allocated to covering popular sellers I could at least understand it. Truth is, despite picking up newspapers on a regular basis, and despite the fact that I always skim the review section, I can’t remember the last time I read a review in a newspaper.)

Thanks to Drakes drum there is now evidence to back up my claim after 5 men were arrested and sentenced to over 60 years for their conspiracy to supply the drug in the UK.These 5 individuals were caught with 6 kilo’s of Heroin which is no small amount which was collected from a Pakistani Muslim from Luton and transported to Sheffield.I hope that other people can also see the connection between Islam’s Jihad against Britain and the supply of Heroin from Afghanistan.Five men convicted of conspiracy to supply heroin at Sheffield Crown Court last week have been sentenced to over sixty years in prison.Asif Younas, Bakish Khan, Niaz Khan, Sajid Rasul and Ilyas Hanif were charged following the arrest of Ilyas Hanif in August last year as he drove back to Sheffield from Luton, having collected from Rasul six kilograms of heroin, with an estimated street value of £330,000.Mobile phone records and surveillance evidence showed that the five men had been in regular phone contact for several days before the pick up in Luton on 31 August and Rasul had met Niaz Khan, Younas and Bakish Khan in Sheffield the day before the transaction.Heroin is Al Qaeda’s Golden Sword because they are destroying Our society with it and making themselves wealthy in the process which is ploughed into extending their Kingdom and back into Jihad.full report at Drakes drum.I Hope and Pray for the sake of Our communities and country that this area of Moslem wealth and non-Moslem destruction within Britain will be stamped out.

REELING Oklahoma — Because the Sooners’ quarterbacks provided no passing threat while going 13-for-31 with four turnovers, Adrian Peterson, last year’s Heisman Trophy runner-up, was made to look like an ordinary back, and the TCU pass defense, which ranked last in the nation last season, was made to look like the 1985 Chicago Bears in the Horned Frogs’ shocking 17-10 upset of the No. Texas — Vince Young became a drop-back passer, running only seven times while completing 13-of-17 passes in a 60-3 pasting of Louisiana-Lafayette, a warm-up to Saturday’s Ohio State game. Florida — Chris Leak completed 26-of-34 passes for three TDs without an interception in his first game in Urban Meyer’s spread option offense — a 32-14 win over Wyoming for the No. RESOLUTION REQUIRED Ohio State — Ohio State coach Jim Tressel has not announced whether the starter for Saturday’s game against Texas will be Justin Zwick, who completed 17-of-23 passes in the 34-14 opening win over Miami of Ohio, or Troy Smith, who had been named the No. RANKING The top three most intriguing passing numbers from Saturday: — BYU’s John Beck completed 41 passes, but the Cougars scored just three points, losing 20-3 to No.

Again I went outside into the clear, cool night.And, in the otherwise crystalline sky, saw a single cloud — a large, diaphanous blob crossing Orion at breakneck speed. What is now Tropical Storm Ophelia had been sending bands in roughly the same direction I’d seen the lone cloud take, and the night had been breezy. Given the otherwise clear sky, it was hard to believe the Weather Channel’s claim of 100% humidity in my area.It was a scout cloud, Mary said. Another cloud, the Orion Nebula, fuzzed before us, the blurry star in the scabbard. Nearby swam the seven sisters of the Pleiades, beginning to fade as dawn gradually brightened beyond the roof.This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 License.

The next day on Friday I played football with some friends, and the rest of the day was kind of boring. I played football again after that until like 6:00p.m. and then afterwards I went inside to eat, and watched the rest of the Eagles game, they finally got a win, just hope they can beat the Seahawks next week, and I was happy that the Seahawks beat the Giants in overtime 24-21, so now the Cowboys are tied with the Giants for first in our division.

Like Luther, I present 95 theses or in my case, 95 faith observations drawn from my 64 years of living and practicing religion and spirituality. I trust I am not alone in recognizing these truths. For me they represent a return to our origins, a return to the spirit and the teaching of Jesus and his prophetic ancestors, and of the Christ which was a spirit that Jesus’ presence and teaching unleashed.1. God is both Mother and Father.2. At this time in history, God is more Mother than Father because the feminine is most missing and it is important to bring gender balance back.3. God is always new, always young and always “in the beginning.”4. God the Punitive Father is not a God worth honoring but a false god and an idol that serves empire-builders. The notion of a punitive, all-male God, is contrary to the full nature of the Godhead who is as much female and motherly as it is masculine and fatherly.5. “All the names we give to God come from an understanding of ourselves.” (Eckhart) Thus people who worship a punitive father are themselves punitive.6. Theism (the idea that God is ‘out there’ or above and beyond the universe) is false. All things are in God and God is in all things (panentheism).7. Everyone is born a mystic and a lover who experiences the unity of things and all are called to keep this mystic or lover of life alive.8. All are called to be prophets which is to interfere with injustice.9. Wisdom is Love of Life (See the Book of Wisdom: “This is wisdom: to love life” and Christ in John’s Gospel: “I have come that you may have life and have it in abundance.”)10. God loves all of creation and science can help us more deeply penetrate and appreciate the mysteries and wisdom of God in creation. Science is no enemy of true religion.11. Religion is not necessary but spirituality is.12. “Jesus does not call us to a new religion but to life.” (Bonhoeffer) Spirituality is living life at a depth of newness and gratitude, courage and creativity, trust and letting go, compassion and justice.13. Spirituality and religion are not the same thing any more than education and learning, law and justice, or commerce and stewardship are the same thing.14. Christians must distinguish between God (masculine and history, liberation and salvation) and Godhead (feminine and mystery, being and non-action).15. Christians must distinguish between Jesus (an historical figure) and Christ (the experience of God-in-all-things).16. Christians must distinguish between Jesus and Paul.17. Jesus, not unlike many spiritual teachers, taught us that we are sons and daughters of God and are to act accordingly by becoming instruments of divine compassion.18. Ecojustice is a necessity for planetary survival and human ethics and without it we are crucifying the Christ all over again in the form of destruction of forests, waters,species, air and soil.19. Sustainability is another word for justice, for what is just is sustainable and what is unjust is not.20. A preferential option for the poor, as found in the base community movement, is far closer to the teaching and spirit of Jesus than is a preferential option for the rich and powerful as found in, for example, Opus Dei.21. Economic Justice requires the work of creativity to birth a system of economics that is global, respectful of the health and wealth of the earth systems and that works for all.22. Celebration and worship are key to human community and survival and such reminders of joy deserve new forms that speak in the language of the twenty-first century.23. Sexuality is a sacred act and a spiritual experience, a theophany (revelation of the Divine), a mystical experience. It is holy and deserves to be honored as such.24. Creativity is both humanity’s greatest gift and its most powerful weapon for evil and so it ought to be both encouraged and steered to humanity’s most God-like activity which all religions agree is: Compassion.25. There is a priesthood of all workers (all who are doing good work are midwives of grace and therefore priests) and this priesthood ought to be honored as sacred and workers should be instructed in spirituality in order to carry on their ministry effectively.26. Empire-building is incompatible with Jesus’ life and teaching and with Paul’s life and teaching and with the teaching of holy religions.27. Ideology is not theology and ideology endangers the faith because it replaces thinking with obedience, and distracts from the responsibility of theology to adapt the wisdom of the past to today’s needs. Instead of theology it demands loyalty oaths to the past.28. Loyalty is not a sufficient criterion for ecclesial office—intelligence and proven conscience is.29. No matter how much the television media fawn over the pope and papacy because it makes good theater, the pope is not the church but has a ministry within the church. Papalolotry is a contemporary form of idolatry and must be resisted by all believers.30. Creating a church of Sycophants is not a holy thing. Sycophants (Webster’s dictionary defines them as “servile self-seeking flatterers”) are not spiritual people for their only virtue is obedience. A Society of Sycophants — sycophant clergy, sycophant seminarians, sycophant bishops, sycophant cardinals, sycophant religious orders of Opus Dei, Legioneers of Christ and Communion and Liberation, and the sycophant press–do not represent in any way the teachings or the person of the historical Jesus who chose to stand up to power rather than amassing it.31. Vows of pontifical secrecy are a certain way to corruption and cover-up in the church as in any human organization.32. Original sin is an ultimate expression of a punitive father God and is not a Biblical teaching. But original blessing (goodness and grace) is biblical.33. The term “original wound” better describes the separation humans experience on leaving the womb and entering the world, a world that is often unjust and unwelcoming than does the term “original sin.”34. Fascism and the compulsion to control is not the path of peace or compassion and those who practice fascism are not fitting models for sainthood. The seizing of the apparatus of canonization to canonize fascists is a stain on the church.35. The Spirit of Jesus and other prophets calls people to simple life styles in order that “the people may live.”36. Dancing, whose root meaning in many indigenous cultures is the same as breath or spirit, is a very ancient and appropriate form in which to pray.37. To honor the ancestors and celebrate the communion of saints does not mean putting heroes on pedestals but rather honoring them by living out lives ofimagination, courage and compassion in our own time, culture and historical moment as they did in theirs.38. A diversity of interpretation of the Jesus event and the Christ experience is altogether expected and welcomed as it was in the earliest days of the church.39. Therefore unity of church does not mean conformity. There is unity in diversity. Coerced unity is not unity.40. The Holy Spirit is perfectly capable of working through participatory democracy in church structures and hierarchical modes of being can indeed interfere with the work of the Spirit.41. The body is an awe-filled sacred Temple of God and this does not mean it is untouchable but rather that all its dimensions, well named by the seven charkas, are as holy as the others.42. Thus our connection with the earth (first chakra) is holy; and our sexuality (second chakra) is holy; and our moral outrage (third chakra) is holy; and our love that stands up to fear (fourth chakra) is holy; and our prophetic voice that speaks out is holy (fifth chakra); and our intuition and intelligence (sixth chakra) are holy; and our gifts we extend to the community of light beings and ancestors (seventh chakra) are holy.43. The prejudice of rationalism and left-brain located in the head must be balanced by attention to the lower charkas as equal places for wisdom and truth and Spirit to act.44. The central chakra, compassion, is the test of the health of all the others which are meant to serve it for “by their fruits you will know them” (Jesus).45. “Joy is the human’s noblest act.” (Aquinas) Is our culture and its professions, education and religion, promoting joy?46. The human psyche is made for the cosmos and will not be satisfied until the two are re-united and awe, the beginning of wisdom, results from this reunion.47. The four paths named in the creation spiritual tradition more fully name the mystical/prophetic spiritual journey of Jesus and the Jewish tradition than do the three paths of purgation, illumination and union which do not derive from the Jewish and Biblical tradition.48. Thus it can be said that God is experienced in experiences of ecstasy, joy, wonder and delight (via positiva).49. God is experienced in darkness, chaos, nothingness, suffering, silence and in learning to let go and let be (via negativa).50. God is experienced in acts of creativity and co-creation (via creativa).51. All people are born creative. It is spirituality’s task to encourage holy imagination for all are born in the “image and likeness” of the Creative One and “the fierce power of imagination is a gift from God.” (Kaballah)52. If you can talk you can sing; if you can walk you can dance; if you can talk you are an artist. (African proverb and Native American saying)53. God is experienced in our struggle for justice, healing, compassion and celebration (via transformativa).54. The Holy Spirit works through all cultures and all spiritual traditions and blows “where it wills” and is not the exclusive domain of any one tradition andnever has been.55. God speaks today as in the past through all religions and all cultures and all faith traditions none of which is perfect and an exclusive avenue to truth but all of which can learn from each other.56. Therefore Interfaith or Deep Ecumenism are a necessary part of spiritual praxis and awareness in our time.57. Since the “number one obstacle to interfaith is a bad relationship with one’s own faith,” (the Dalai Lama) it is important that Christians know their ownmystical and prophetic tradition, one that is larger than a religion of empire and its punitive father images of God.58. The cosmos is God’s holy Temple and our holy home.59. Fourteen billion years of evolution and unfolding of the universe bespeak the intimate sacredness of all that is.60. All that is is holy and all that is is related for all being in our universe began as one being just before the fireball erupted.61. Interconnectivity is not only a law of physics and of nature but also forms the basis of community and of compassion. Compassion is the working out of our shared interconnectivity both as to our shared joy and our shared suffering and struggle for justice.62. The universe does not suffer from a shortage of grace and no religious institution is to see its task as rationing grace. Grace is abundant in God’s universe.63. Creation, Incarnation and Resurrection are continuously happening on a cosmic as well as a personal scale. So too are Life, Death and Resurrection (regeneration and reincarnation) happening on a cosmic scale as well as a personal one.64. Biophilia or Love of Life is everyone’s daily task.65. Necrophilia or love of death is to be opposed in self and society in all its forms.66. Evil can happen through every people, every nation, every tribe, and every individual human and so vigilance and self-criticism and institutional criticism are always called for.67. Not all who call themselves “Christian” deserve that name just as “not all who say ‘Lord, Lord’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven” (Jesus).68. Pedophilia is a terrible wrong but its cover-up by hierarchy is even more despicable.69. Loyalty and obedience are never a greater virtue than conscience and justice.70. Jesus said nothing about condoms, birth control or homosexuality.71. A church that is more preoccupied with sexual wrongs than with wrongs of injustice is itself sick.72. Since homosexuality is found among 464 species and in 8 percent of any given human population, it is altogether natural for those who are born that way and is a gift from God and nature to the greater community.73. Homophobia in any form is a serious sin against love of neighbor, a sin of ignorance of the richness and diversity of God’s creation as well as a sin of exclusion.74. Racism, Sexism and militarism are also serious sins.75. Poverty for the many and luxury for the few is not right or sustainable.76. Consumerism is today’s version of gluttony and needs to be confronted by creating an economic system that works for all peoples and all earth’s creatures.77. Seminaries as we know them, with their excessive emphasis on left-brain work, often kill and corrupt the mystical soul of the young instead of encouraging the mysticism and prophetic consciousness that is there. They should be replaced by wisdom schools.78. Inner work is required of us all. Therefore spiritual practices of meditation should be available to all and this helps in calming the reptilian brain. Silence or contemplation and learning to be still can and ought to be taught to all children and adults.79. Outer work needs to flow from our inner work just as action flows from non-action and true action from being.80. A wise test of right action is this: What is the effect of this action on people seven generations from today?81. Another test of right action is this: Is what I am doing, is what we are doing, beautiful or not?82. Eros, the passion for living, is a virtue that combats acedia or the lack of energy to begin new things and is also expressed as depression, cynicism or sloth (also known as “couchpotatoitis”).83. The Dark Night of the Soul descends on us all and the proper response is not addiction such as shopping, alcohol, drugs, TV, sex or religion but rather to be with the darkness and learn from it.84. The Dark Night of the Soul is a learning place of great depth. Stillness is required.85. Not only is there a Dark Night of the Soul but also a Dark Night of Society and a Dark Night of our Species.86. Chaos is a friend and a teacher and an integral part or prelude to new birth. Therefore it is not to be feared or compulsively controlled.87. Authentic science can and must be one of humanity’s sources of wisdom for it is a source of sacred awe, of childlike wonder, and of truth.88. When science teaches that matter is “frozen light” (physicist David Bohm) it is freeing human thought from scapegoating flesh as something evil and instead reassuring us that all things are light. This same teaching is found in the Christian Gospels (Christ is the light in all things) and in Buddhist teaching (the Buddha nature is in all things). Therefore, flesh does not sin; it is our choices that are sometimes off center.89. The proper objects of the human heart are truth and justice (Aquinas) and all people have a right to these through healthy education and healthy government.90. Godlink

But right now it is a rather sad day for me because I am waiting for a moment to arrive which I know is inevitable and is also the one that I have dreaded my entire life. And how will life be without her? The lessons she imparted throughout my life have been engraved upon my heart as those words upon her ring. Worked on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach during the Depression of the 1930’s, and she met my father during World War II at a USO dance in Bayfront Park. Her life hangs by a thread. My father, five years her junior, waits on her hand and foot. The example of their love has set the tone for my life. I do not claim to understand this thing called Life. This moment is as much a part of Life as birth.

Agency Censors Document Despite Public CIA Speeches, Testimony, Statements For more information Contact: Thomas Blanton 202/994-7000 Washington D.C., 9 July 2004 - The CIA has decided to keep almost entirely secret the controversial October 2002 CIA intelligence estimate about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction that is the subject of today’s Senate Intelligence Committee report, according to the CIA’s June 1, 2004 response to a Freedom of Information Act request from the National Security Archive. In the report released today, the CIA’s censorship includes the entire discussion sections that follow the Committee’s conclusions that the CIA misled Secretary of State Colin Powell for his February 2003 United Nations speech (pages 253-257), and that the CIA’s unclassified presentation of its Iraq WMD findings in October 2002 misled the public by leaving out the caveats, hedged language, and dissents in the underlying intelligence (pages 295-297).

Somebody give this guy an Honorary Oscar already. I think I hear the hearse pullin’ up around the bend.Thanks, Bill.I used to think you were a good guy. Maybe you’ll prove me right again some day. Then again, maybe you’ll just write The General’s Daughter Part 2.This guy gets the Billy Madison award for being (not only a pompous ass) but also for making one of the most insanely idiotic arguements I have ever had the displeasure to read.Principal: Mr. Madison, what youve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.” ps: I left out that he also gave us the screenplay for Maverick (94) with Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster and Memoirs of an Invisible Man (92) with Chevy Chase.

-ne I don’t remember how I learned about art film actress Catherine Deneuve but from the first time I saw a photograph of her icy, regal, unabashed feminine beauty, I was going to get hooked. If you crossed Ivoire, Private Collection and the original Armani Femme with the attitude of a gorgeous crossover Oriental-Chypre like Ysatis, you might get Deneuve, but Deneuve is still in a class all its own. Some people compare Deneuve to leathery Chypres such as Balmain de Balmain and Miss Dior but Deneuve doesn’t venture into the angular leather realm, at least not to my nose.

In an AP news report:Malaysian authorities have announced new funds to upgrade schools attended mainly by students from the ethnic Chinese minority, in a bid to curb concerns that such schools receive inadequate government support.Education Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said late Saturday the government has approved an allocation of about 2.1 million ringgit (US80,000) to improve 96 Chinese-language schools nationwide.The decision proves that the government is taking care of the welfare of such schools, Hishammuddin said in a statement carried by the national newsagency, Bernama. Hishammuddin said the approval was the result of a recent heart-to-heartmeeting that he held with the Malaysian Chinese Association, the country’s main ethnic Chinese political party, on efforts to boost multiracial harmony.Chinese schools - which use Mandarin as a medium of instruction and emphasize Chinese tradition and culture - are a sensitive issue for ethnicChinese, who comprise a quarter of Malaysia’s 26 million people.There are some 1,200 Chinese schools, whose teachers’ salaries are generally paid by the government.

I have a 17 year old son, junior in high school, who is extremely bright. Last year, he was functioning, well below his potential …He brought home his Pre ACT and Pre SAT scores and went …Oh my goodness …. I just might be a smart kid! hmmm I think I’ve heard that before? His first practice test of the ACT had composite score as a 25. (you need a 17/18 to get into most colleges) you need a 25 to get into IVY league colleges. He took this test, 5 weeks into his Sophomore year in high school, after having been homeschooled through the 8th grade. Mamma, was pretty proud. More importantly, Samuel, realized that he was sliding by with his accepting being the smartest in the room. It was time to work. *whew* (Prayers answered!) The school he went to, had the kids fill out interest forms. In addition to the Pre SAT and Pre ACT testing, they would give some career suggestions based on interests and scores. The top career suggestion for Samuel … Forensic Medical Examiner/PathologistHis eyes lit up like a Christmas tree! I can do that? To him, anything like that, was out of his reach, because we are a financially strapped family. Samuel, youre a smart kid …if you work, were not paying for college, your brain will pay for college! oh. I didnt realize that!” He sat there quietly for a few minutes and then suddenly he was like a new kid. He got excited … and he had a goal. Life was in front of him. Being the smartest in the class wasnt just enough, he needed to be his best. He started to work to succeed. This year, hes gotten a bit lackadaisical (SP?) and settling again … and just in time … another practice ACT score walks through the door … composite score of 29 this time …with a science score of 32. His Percentile ranking for the state … Composite 96%ile …for the nation … 95%ile. His Percentile ranking for science … for the state … 99%ile … for the nation 98%ile.Hes realizing again, he needs to work, and hes got a gift he should not waste. His future is dependent on his ability to apply himself. Im a proud mamma.

The CD containing the voices of Langston Hughes, Ogden Nash, Robert Frost, Gwendolyn Brooks, and many many more people reading their own poems. It’s not going to grab you by the tie when you first glance at it, but this here “Poetry Speaks To Children” may just be what the doctor ordered when you find you have a child (or class of the little buggers) looking expectantly to you to teach them what poems are all about. Spotted with illustrations by Judy Love, Wendy Rasmussen, and Paula Zinngrabe Wendland, the book is good at bringing together both children’s poets and the rare childish poems of adult poets, for the appreciation of all. A CD with 51 of the poems read, sometimes by their own poets and sometimes by others, round out this poetic undertaking. In that particular book the poems were nice and all, but the average reader would have been shocked at how dead, white, and male the whole thing felt. Maybe a bit of variety in the kinds of poems wouldn’t have been too out of place. You may love a particular artist with all your heart, but asking them to illustrate a book consisting of 96 poems is just cruel. As it stands, the illustrations and poems complement one another and make the book infinitely accessible to the young browser, whosoever that might be. Additionally, each poem that appears in the book AND on the CD has a useful track number placed noticeably but not gaudily at the top of that poem’s page. Many time two poems will appear on the same page and it would have been so easy for the book’s designers to just play hooky and leave both poems with similar fonts. Then the readers would have been particularly confused by which poem was which. As it is, I did have a slight beef with the fact that someone thought it a bright idea to sometimes place the title of a poem at the end of its stanzas rather than at the beginning. On the other hand, when two poems grace the same page and it looks as if they might run into one another, the font color or font itself may change to distinguish the two. This book may have some of the big names and fun poems in it, but THAT book actually knows the difference between a sonnet and a senryu.
