Bernhardt (or Bernhard) "Ben" Klassen O.S. February 7, 1918) – August 6, 1993) was a self-described white separatist and an American religious leader who founded the Church of the Creator with the publication of his book Nature's Eternal Religion in 1973.February 20, 1918 (
At one point, Klassen was also a Republican Florida state legislator, as well as a supporter of George Wallace's presidential campaign. In addition to his religious and political work, Klassen was an electrical engineer and he was also the inventor of a wall-mounted electric can-opener.[1][2][3]
Early life[edit]
Klassen was born on February 20, 1918, in Rudnerweide (now Rozivka in Chernihivka Raion in Zaporizhia Oblast), Ukraine, to Bernhard and Susanna Klassen,[4][page needed] a Ukrainian Mennonite Christian couple.[5] He had two sisters and two brothers. When Klassen was nine months old, he caught typhoid fever and nearly died. His earliest memories were of the famine of 1921–22. He remembered his father rationing to him one slice of dark bread for dinner. Klassen was first introduced to religion at the age of "three or four". When he was five, the family moved to Mexico, where they lived for one year. In 1925, at age six, he moved with his family to Herschel, Saskatchewan, Canada. He attended the German-English Academy (now Rosthern Junior College).[4][page needed]
Klassen established a real estate firm in Los Angeles in partnership with Ben Burke. Believing that his partner was prone to drinking and gambling, Klassen eventually bought him out and became sole proprietor. He hired several salesmen, including Merle Peek, who convinced him to buy large land development projects in Nevada. Klassen and Peek started a partnership called the Silver Springs Land Company, through which they founded the town of Silver Springs, Nevada.[6] In 1952, Klassen sold his share of the company to Phillip Hess for $150,000 and retired.[7]
On March 26, 1956, Klassen filed an application with the U.S. Patent Office to patent a wall-mounted, electric can opener which he marketed as Canolectric. In partnership with the marketing firm Robbins & Myers, Klassen created Klassen Enterprises, Inc. In the face of competition from larger manufacturers that could provide similar products more cheaply, Klassen and his partners dissolved the company in 1962.[3][7]
Political career[edit]
Klassen served Broward County in the Florida House of Representatives from November 1966 – March 1967,[1] running on an anti-busing, anti-government platform.[8] He campaigned for election to the Florida Senate in 1967, but was defeated.[9] That same year, he was vice chairman of an organization in Florida which supported George Wallace for president.[2]
Klassen was a member of the John Birch Society, at one point operating an American Opinion bookstore. But he became disillusioned with the Society because of what he viewed as its tolerant position towards Jews. In November 1970, Klassen, along with Austin Davis, created the Nationalist White Party. The party's platform was directed at White Christians and it was explicitly religious and racial in nature; the first sentence of the party's fourteen-point program is "We believe that the White Race was created in the Image of the Lord..." The logo of the Nationalist White Party was a "W" with a crown and a halo over it, and it would be used three years later as the logo of the Church of the Creator.
Less than a year after he created the Nationalist White Party, Klassen began expressing apprehension about Christianity to his connections through letters. These letters were not well received and they effectively ended the influence of the Nationalist White Party.[7]
Church of the Creator[edit]
In 1973 Klassen founded the Church of the Creator (COTC) with the publication of Nature's Eternal Religion. Individual church members are called Creators, and the religion they practice is called Creativity.
In 1982, Klassen established the headquarters of his church in Otto, North Carolina. There he established a school for boys. The original curriculum was a two-week summer program that included activities such as "hiking, camping, training in handling of firearms, archery, tennis, white water rafting and other healthy outdoor activities", as well as instruction on "the goals and doctrines of Creativity and how they could best serve their own race in various capacities of leadership."[10][page needed][11][page needed]
In July 1992 George Loeb, a minister of the church, was convicted of murdering a black sailor in Jacksonville Florida.[12] Fearing that a conviction might mean the loss of 20 acres of land worth about $400,000 in Franklin, North Carolina belonging to the church, Klassen sold it to another white supremacist, William Luther Pierce, author of the Turner Diaries, for $100,000.[13]
Klassen was Pontifex Maximus of the church until January 25, 1993, when he transferred the title to Dr. Rick McCarty.[7]
Racial holy war[edit]
Ben Klassen first popularized the term "Racial Holy War" (RaHoWa) within the white racialist movement. He also consistently called black people "niggers" in public discourse as well as in the literature of the COTC, as opposed to many white nationalist leaders who use relatively more polite terms in public. Klassen wrote, "Furthermore, in looking up the word in Webster's dictionary I found the term 'nigger' very descriptive: 'a vulgar, offensive term of hostility and contempt for the black man'. I can't think of anything that defines better and more accurately what our position... should be... If we are going to be for racial integrity and racial purity... we must take a hostile position toward the nigger. We must give him nothing but contempt."[14]
In his 1987 book Rahowa – This Planet Is All Ours he claims that Jews created Christianity in order to make white people weaker, and he said that the first priority should be to "smash the Jewish Behemoth".[15]
Possibly depressed after the death of his wife, the failure of his church[16][17] and a diagnosis of cancer and considering suicide an honorable way to end his life, Klassen took an overdose of sleeping pills either late on August 6 or early on August 7, 1993.[18][19][20] Klassen was buried on his North Carolina property in an area which he had previously designated "Ben Klassen Memorial Park".[7]

Dive-in movies
When the Ritz-Carlton Beijing, Financial Street opened last year in China, it boasted many exciting design features. But its best has to be this: a swimming pool with built-in movie theater. Watch classic movies like Casablanca and Breakfast at Tiffany's while you swim lengths of the 20m heated pool. Relax poolside between spa treatments and request screenings of your favorite satellite TV show. We think that sounds pretty cool.
The spa occupies an entire floor of the hotel and, in addition to the cinematic pool, boasts plunge pools, steam and sauna rooms, relaxation lounges and loads of treatment rooms, including a couple's suite with soaking tub. Seems like it'd be easy to forget about the Forbidden City and spend your entire vacation in here, getting pampered and watching movies. The best films to watch in a swimming pool? Try The Big Blue, Swept Away (the original version), and of course Jaws. RM

up short
By Phillip R. Thune 92
Photo: Taylor Northrup 02s kicking has been one of the few bright spots for the Tigers. (Beverly Schaefer)
Taylor Northrup 02 stood at midfield with his hands on his hips, staring in disbelief at the goalpost. The rest of his teammates had already jogged off the field, but Northrup stayed put, unable to avert his gaze. His 57-yard field goal attempt had just hit the crossbar and bounced back onto the field, one foot too short.
That one image and the drive that led to what would have been the longest field goal in Ivy League history sums up Princetons 2001 season and most of the 17-game tenure of Coach Roger Hughes.
The field goal attempt, which came with seven minutes left in the Cornell game on October 27 in Princeton Stadium, would have tied the score at 1010. Instead, Princeton (16, 14 Ivy) lost 107 to the Big Red, who entered the game without a win. The following week in Philadelphia, Penn overpowered Princeton in the fourth quarter, winning 2110 to remain unbeaten.
In both games, the Tigers displayed flashes of the talent they clearly possess, but made fatal mistakes in crucial situations. It is a formula that gives both the formidable and laughable among Princetons opponents more comeback opportunities than Michael Jordan.
For example, while Northrups attempt was impressive, he should have been 20 yards closer (he is a perfect 8-for-8 this season inside 40 yards). Princeton had marched 50 yards to the Cornell 20-yard line, but two penalties and a sack pushed Princeton back, just out of Northrups reach.
Hes hit 65-yarders in practice, said Hughes, who is now 413 as Princeton head coach. And I thought with the wind there would be no problem. We hurt ourselves; we were in great field goal range. We got a motion penalty, and then we got a holding penalty and a little bit of a sack. Taylor did everything he could to overcome our mistakes, but it was just a little bit short.
I did hit it clean, I guess I just didnt crush it, said Northrup, who connected on his 36th career field goal at Penn, tying him with Alex Sierk 99 for the Princeton career record. You stand there, you watch the ball go toward the uprights I never could have imagined that it could hit the crossbar. I thought it was good.
Northrup has had several games rest on his foot. At Harvard the week before, Northrup just missed a 49-yard, game-winning attempt at the buzzer. A year ago against Cornell, he slipped and failed to hit an extra point that would have tied the game with two seconds left. And against Penn, Northrup missed a 51-yard attempt that would have given the Tigers a 137 lead early in the third quarter.
Nonetheless, Northrup is narrowly missing from distances that others can only dream about. His three field goals of more than 40 yards this year match the combined total of the rest of the leagues kickers. And scouts from several NFL teams have attended Princeton games this fall solely to watch Northrup, who is also the teams punter.
After growing up as a soccer star, Northrup tried football in his junior year of high school. By his senior year, he was All-State in Florida as both a kicker and punter. The top schools looking at me were Penn State and Tennessee, recalls Northrup, an anthropology major who is willing to play anywhere to keep kicking professionally. But even though I was a good recruit, I was never the top on anybodys list because I was a newcomer. The name they gave me was the sleeper kicker, because no one knew about me because I started playing football so late.
The Cornell game was sleep-inducing. The teams combined for 12 punts, with the only impressive play coming at the end of the first half. Sophomore quarterback David Splithoff engineered a 98-yard touchdown drive, running for 24 yards and connecting on all three of his passes, including an 8-yarder to tight end Mike Chiusano 03 in the back of the end zone.
The Big Red answered immediately with a 78-yard touchdown drive of their own. A 40-yard field goal by Cornell early in the fourth quarter capped the scoring.
At Franklin Field, Princeton surprised Penn by running a no-huddle, spread offense. The Tigers drove for a field goal on their opening possession, and led 107 at the half. Princeton had a great opportunity to extend the lead to 10 points late in the third quarter, but failed to score on a fourth-down play from Penns two-yard line.
The Quakers offense was too much for Princeton in the final quarter, scoring touchdowns on two back-breaking drives, and putting the game out of reach for the Tigers, even Northrup.

steady on the court
By Jeremy Weissman 02
Photo: Point guard Ahmed El Nokali 02 will direct the Tigers. (Beverly Schaefer)
In the midst of all the changes that have rocked Princeton basketball over the past few years, one player has remained steady: Ahmed El Nokali 02. And this year, the Tigers are El Nokalis team. As the defending Ivy League champions prepare for their season which opened November 15 at the Black Coaches Association Classic against California, St. Josephs, and Eastern Washington they will look for leadership to the quiet point guard from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, their newly anointed captain.
On the court, my role has definitely grown, El Nokali says. With each passing year, more is expected of you.
Youve seen with Ahmed just a steady progression, agrees head coach John Thompson III 88. Hes gone from a skinny, nervous freshman to someone who was difficult to play without last year. So difficult, in fact, that El Nokali barely left the court during Ivy League play last year, averaging 38.5 (out of 40) minutes per game.
El Nokali could always handle the ball. He walked in the door as an outstanding dribbler, someone who understood that possession of the ball is precious, Thompson says. El Nokali is also remarkable for his consistency, rarely picking up cheap fouls on defense and committing few turnovers on offense given that he is the Tigers primary ballhandler. Everything about his game suggests control, even his distinctive upright dribbling posture.
Hes played that way since freshman year, consistent, balanced, the posture unchanging. But hell tell you that he sees the game differently now. My outlook on the game has really matured, he says.
Consider last season as a case in point. The Tigers were coming off a famously tough summer during which their coach, star center, and several other players departed, and most analysts expected the team to struggle. People wrote us off, El Nokali says. We believed, though, that we still had the pieces to win a title. The Tigers proved that they did, playing fundamental basketball that reminded some observers of the way the teams of the late 1980s with guard Thompson played under Coach Pete Carril.
Thompson and the Tigers will face a different kind of scrutiny and a different set of challenges this year as defending Ivy champions. Its going to be a tough league, Thompson says. Because unlike most conferences, the Ivy League does not determine its champion through a postseason tournament, the stakes in regular-season play are much higher, Thompson notes. Every game is a playoff game, he says. Every slip-up can affect you in the big picture.
When Ivy play begins in mid-January, Thompson expects the Tigers toughest challenges to come from Columbia, which is led by seven seniors, Brown, which tied for second last year and returns its leading scorers, and, as always, from Penn.
El Nokali will lead the Tigers charge, with help from fellow senior and cocaptain Mike Bechtold 02, a 6'6" forward. Besides El Nokali, the Tigers return three starters in Kyle Wente 03 and Ed Persia 04, both guards, and Andre Logan 04, a 6'7" forward. Konrad Wysocki 04 impressed Thompson with his improvement over the summer and, at 6'8", may replace last years surprise star, Nate Walton 01, in the high-post center spot. Former starters Ray Robins 03 and Chris Krug 04 also return to the team this year after time off from school.
Joining them will be a group of freshmen that Hoop Scoop, a national basketball recruiting publication, called not only by far and away the best recruiting class in the league, but also a recruiting class that will be ranked in the top 4050 nationally. The five recruits include two potential centers, Mike Stephens 05 from Napa, California, and Dominic Martin 05 from Asheville, North Carolina, both of whom stand 6'10".
Thompson promises a fluid lineup that may change depending on opponent and on the development of the freshmen, about whom Thompson maintains a coachs equanimity. We have a freshman class that has received a little bit of attention, but theyre still freshmen. They have no idea how hard it is to compete at this level, he says. One day this group will be very good, but theyre not there yet.
Princeton begins its season with a characteristically masochistic nonconference schedule, including games against Top-25 heavies California, Maryland, and Kansas. Thompson acknowledges that many of those games were scheduled a few years ago, when Princeton figured on having a 6'10" senior center who might be cocaptain now, had things had gone a little differently.
Chris Young 02 surrendered his Ivy League eligibility last summer when he signed a professional baseball contract, but not before his two stellar seasons at center earned him a spot on Princetons all-decade team and a lasting place in the memory of the Princeton program. Young is still on campus finishing his degree, conspicuously so at 6'10", and that only makes the possibility of what might have been more tantalizing.
You still have probably the best player in the league on your campus, and you see him every day, Thompson said. To ask, Do we miss him? thats an understatement.
El Nokali is not about to forget, either. He and Young have been roommates at Princeton and remain best friends. Even we talk a lot about what could have been if he had remained a part of this team, El Nokali says. Hes shown nothing but support for the team and the program.
And so El Nokali begins his final season as Princetons sole leader, the fixed point around which the program has revolved. For all the changes that have taken place, there is nevertheless a kind of balance to be found in El Nokalis career: two seasons alongside his best friend, and two seasons without him; two seasons under Carmody, and two under Thompson. But the most crucial balance is one El Nokali will fight hard to achieve: In his first two years the Tigers were league runner-up. He hopes to leave the last two a champion.

Sponsored Research
Caltech is one of the nation's most trusted investments in terms of scientific research dollars.
A wide array of grant makers provide funding for Caltech research, including the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), NASA, the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, and the U.S. Geological Survey, as well as educational and research institutions, businesses, and nonprofit organizations.
Typically, over a third of all Caltech proposals will receive funding. Success rates for proposals submitted to our leading research sponsors—the NSF and the NIH—exceed national averages for these agencies.
Why grant makers invest in Caltech:
- Caltech takes a focused, thoughtful, and coordinated approach to grant applications, proposing top-priority projects that align with both the Institute's strengths and with the goals and mission of the prospective funder.
- We have a distinguished record of research leadership. Caltech faculty and alumni have won 33 Nobel Prizes, 57 National Medals of Science, and 11 National Medals of Technology
- Our faculty work at the forefront of their fields—one in three is an elected member of the National Academy of Science, the National Academy of Engineering, and/or the Institute of Medicine.
- Funders know that research is most successful if it includes a strong educational component. At Caltech, 80 percent of our undergraduate students actively participate in Caltech research projects while pursuing their degrees.
Private–Public Partnership
Caltech uses seed funding from private donors to nurture the kinds of risky but potentially revolutionary early-stage research projects grant makers rarely support. This allows scientists to move their work through the crucial early stages to the point that it shows demonstrable merit for a larger, public investment.

Back in 2007, a group of forward thinkers at Eurocontrol raised a question: Could air traffic control safety be improved through better information sharing? They thought that if controllers across Europe had universal access to best practices, investigation results, solutions to common problems and other safety-related ATC information, it would create a safer operating environment. As they started exploring the idea, they quickly discovered that the need for information sharing existed ...

Cosmetic Contact Lenses
Eye makeup isn't just limited to mascara, eye shadow, or eyeliner anymore. Thanks to colored contacts and circle lenses, people can now even change the shape and color of their eyes.
Colored Lenses
Colored lenses have been used for some time in the entertainment industry. These lenses are tinted with color to change the color of the iris.
Back to top
Circle Lenses
Although these lenses originated from Germany, circle lenses are most popular in East Asian countries.
Circle lenses have been around since 2004 and make the eyes appear bigger. The tinted lens covers a bit of the sclera (the white part of the eye), resulting in a seemingly larger iris. Despite making the eye larger in appearance, the lens is not necessarily larger than a typical contact lens.
Circle lenses come in many different colors – red, violet, blue, green, grey, hazel, and black are the standard colors. There are colored circle lenses that are made for astigmatism and for people with perfect vision as well.
Both colored and circle lenses have been perceived as dangerous by experts. This is mainly because, like all contact lenses, these lenses need to be properly taken care of, cleaned, and not worn for excessive amounts of time.
The biggest danger posed by wearing these contacts is the fit; contacts that are not the right size may damage the eye. In addition, although circle and colored lenses can be purchased online for as low a price as twenty dollars, do not purchase them online.
There are a lot of careless manufacturers with low quality products. Consult with an optometrist and get your lenses through them. In the end, eye health comes first!
Colored lenses and circle lenses are considered to be for medical purposes by the American government. It is illegal to obtain these lenses without a prescription. All lenses must be approved by the Food and Drug administration.

Relief at Suarez departure shows image is everything
What is the image of a rebel?" asked the Canon television advertisement before, in the next 30 seconds, Andre Agassi confirmed every suspicion that was then held about him as, among other things, he whipped his shirt off before throwing it towards the camera, lay in a pair of pink shorts and rubbed his hand through his mullet as he drove in an open-topped jeep.
"Image," said Agassi earnestly as he pulled down the sunglasses just far enough to reveal his eyes, "is everything."
"Overnight the slogan becomes synonymous with me," wrote Agassi two decades later in his autobiography. "Sportswriters say I have no substance, because I haven't won a Slam. They say the slogan is proof that I'm a pitchman, trading on my fame, caring only about money and nothing about tennis."
Had Agassi not subsequently won eight Grand Slams while also finishing a season as world No 1, two years after being ranked 110, "image is everything" would have been his epitaph. It was doing things, rather than trying to look good doing them, which proved his greatness.
Last week, the Premier League chief executive accused Luis Suarez of damaging the Premier League brand by his actions at the World Cup and receiving his third suspension for biting. If there was ever an insight into the mind of a marketing man in a football world, this was it.
"I can't say I'm sorry to see him go," said Scudamore. "If you spend your time trying to promote what's good about the Premier League, you're always waiting for the next thing to come along.
"Probably the time had come. . . He's a great player but an accident waiting to happen and this one in the summer, although it was with Uruguay, although it didn't directly involve the Premier League, clearly it reflected on Liverpool as one of our great clubs. And it reflected on us."
The advertising writers at Canon couldn't have put it any better.
Then, in defending the Premier League's ability to attract the world's best players by comparison to Spain, Scudamore chose to reference a man who made the money of the world's greatest players without ever being anywhere near them.
"We lost David Beckham as well, remember," said Scudamore. "Economically we've got 20 of the world's top 50 clubs now. And that to me is more important in many ways, that the matches are competitive. We've got enough stars, and we don't need absolutely every world megastar name to make this a successful league."
It's a slightly cheap shot to compare but while biting opponents certainly isn't a good example, neither is sending sexist emails, albeit not meant for public consumption, as Scudamore did several months ago but which he considered not to be a resigning offence.
The Premier League clubs, too, felt his previously unblemished record and sincere apology was enough that he shouldn't be sanctioned and so, other than embarrassment, there was no harm done. Not a mention about the image of the Premier League anywhere.
On Saturday, the league began with its usual mix of faux controversies, dreadful defending and excitement and, presumably to Scudamore's delight, a batch of competitive games between economically sound teams, who will remain in that state so long as they don't get relegated or their owners don't decide they want their money back.
The fact that several of these economically sound teams were charging exorbitant prices to fans or basing match attendances on tickets sold rather than people who actually attended is unlikely to have bothered him or the marketing men too much.
Figures released last week showed that Arsenal's average attendance - as counted by the Metropolitan Police Service who monitor the number of people actually at the game rather than tickets sold - was 53,788, which is still impressive but isn't quite as good for the image as announcing "sold out" at a 60,000-seater stadium.
So long as tens of millions in Asia, Australia, United States and everywhere else in the world are tuning in and ensuring that the next television deal is worth billions, who cares if the cheapest ticket for non-West Ham members to watch them play Tottenham comes in just over €68?
From a purely entertainment point of view the fans at Upton Park got their money's worth - two red cards, controversy and an injury-time winner from a debutant - but then, with the prices that supporters are expected to pay, those in charge of the Premier League have long forgotten that their brand is meant to be about an actual sport rather than a WWE-style sports entertainment.
It's understandable if supporters of clubs other than Liverpool were happy to see Suarez leave but, even for love of the game which may have long-since been buried, there ought to be an element of sadness.
Not so for those in charge, however, who could happily hear the sounds of televisions around the world being turned on and turnstiles whirring with hundreds of thousands of people safe in the knowledge that there might not be many great players on show but, sure, nobody would be bitten.
For the image, apparently, it's better that way.

As an independent songwriter, you have quite a few different options when signing a publishing agreement. Traditionally, a songwriter would sign over a percentage of their rights to a song - ranging from a small amount to 100% - in exchange for opportunities such as cash advances and the potential for bigger sync deals (TV and film placements).
Enticing as that sounds, it's becoming less likely for most independent songwriters to sign the kind of big publishing deals that create such opportunities. But don't fret! There is an option that is absolutely worth looking into further: become your own publisher!
It is quite common for musicians to become their own publisher and is something you should consider. In next week's article, we'll discuss a step-by-step guide of setting up your own publishing company. Until then, we're going to focus on the major benefits to owning your publishing rights.
1. Collect more publishing royalties
By the very nature of entering into a publishing agreement, you're giving away a percentage of your copyrights - and thus a percentage of your publishing royalties.
If you own 100% of the publishing on your songs, you'll be able to collect all royalties owed to you from public performance, digital (internet radio and on-demand streaming), synchronization (TV, film, and video games), mechanical royalties (sales of physical recordings and downloads).
Reminder: you'll always get the full writer's share owed to by registering your songs with a PRO (ASCAP, BMI or SESAC) - even if you've signed away all your publishing rights.
2. Maintain creative control
Aside from royalty collection, publishers look to exploit your songs through synchronization licenses. This means, they will pitch your music for placement in film, TV, video games, advertising, etc. These licenses can be a great source of income and in many publishing agreements the publisher will take a cut of all license fees. By owning 100% of your publishing rights, you'll get paid through all of those fees.
The other key differentiator comes from controlling how your music gets pitched and to whom. By owning your publishing rights, you gain the sole right to grant licenses for the use of your music in any capacity. Each time someone wants to use your music, a license (and subsequent fees and/ or royalties) are required to be cleared by you.
Of course, this also means that you have the right to not grant licenses either. This is especially important if you want to avoid certain kinds of association with your songs (e.g. ending up synched to an obnoxious beer commercial or a terrible TV show). Once a song becomes synonymous with something negative, it can be very difficult to convince anyone else to pick that song for their project.
3. Keep your options open
If you're an artist and you sign a publishing deal early, you may limit what opportunities are available on the label side as, increasingly, labels are looking to also acquire publishing rights.
If you want to compose for film/TV, but you have an exclusive publishing deal, you may not be able to do song deals with individual film and television studios to compose for their projects.
All this being said, publishers can be a wonderful addition to a songwriter's team — when it's a good fit. Like everything in life, when considering a publishing deal, it's all about relationships and having a clear and open line of communication between you and your publisher.

It may be difficult to impossible for a single mom to stay at home and do nothing as Gary Foreman explains, but it isn't impossible for her to stay at home and bring in an income. Working at home has been gaining in popularity over the last decade with both employees and employers, but faster growing than that is the segment of moms who start their own in home business. Besides doing child care, which is quite popular, bookkeeping, copywriting, proofreading and typing for college students, running errands for the elderly and more, can bring in enough money to live on. Couple that with the stay at home benefits, like not having to buy gas to drive to work, not having to have a work wardrobe, not having to pay for childcare and so on, and almost any woman (or man) can make staying at home work. It's not too hard to come up with something to be done without working a regular job once your mind is set on it, but if you're still stumped, here are some ideas: Write at home for content sites. Some people make very good money this way. Content mills often provide residual income based on page views, so you must know a little about promoting your work. Some sites broker content so that you don't work directly for the consumer, but for the company. Work in customer care. You will need a computer but they will usually pay for your internet. You log into their site and/or use software they provide to chat live (with a script), answer emails or take phone calls. Some companies set your hours and others will allow you to work when you can. Sell on eBay or something similar. You can make good money if you're alert and pay attention to what is selling and where to get it. Design crafts. If you're the least bit crafty, you've probably made at least one thing out of your head. Write it down and find an appropriate market for it online. Craft sites are always needing fresh content. There are many more, but hopefully, this will give you some ideas. If you want to work from home, try it! You might be very pleasantly surprised.

This website is dedicated to the crew of R.A.A.F 460 Squadron Lancaster EE138 Coded AR-E2 E for "Easy"
The crew of 8 men in EE138 managed to steer the damaged Lancaster away from the village of Stadil before it crashed on the edge of the Vest Stadil Fjord.
"My mother stood watching the plane crash, and it flew low above the farm. If the pilots had not kept it in the air until it was free of the houses, I might not have been here today..." - Mr Anders N Andersen, September 2013.
To this day, all but one of the men remain within the fuselage of their plane, buried in the soft ground of the once marshy perimeter of the fjord.
In October of 2004, the crash site was visited by a crew member's relative. At that time it was very evident just how much appreciation and care was shown in the immaculate presentation of the garden, the memorial stone and surrounds at the EE138 crash site. This was in stark contrast to a degraded information plaque which had been erected nearby in 1993 as a part of the 50th Commemoration. This plaque was not only out of place, but contained totally inaccurate information about the demise of EE138.
Again, in the middle of October 2004 another crew relative visited the Svinø cemetery where the only recovered remains of an EE138 crew member is interned, the poor state of repair of that grave site and headstone prompted a request to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission for the grave and stone to be repaired.
As a result of the 2004 visits, a project was initiated in Australia to have the accurate, officially documented historical facts surrounding the loss of EE138 presented in 3 languages at the crash site, and to include more detailed information about the crew of EE138 and 460 Squadron. This project was finally realised with the support of the Australian Government and Danish officials in time for the 65th Commemoration in September 2008.
The Hon. Alan Griffin MP, former Australian Minister for Veterans' Affairs said the story behind the Stadil memorial in Denmark was a powerful reminder of the courage of Australians who served and died overseas.
"The Stadil memorial was built by the local community 65 years ago, and was dedicated to the eight airmen who died when their Lancaster Bomber was shot down near the town."
The airmen, four of whom were Australians, managed to steer the damaged Lancaster away from the village before it crashed, saving many lives, but not their own. As a mark of gratitude and respect, the local community erected a wooden cross at the crash site, and later a plaque, which they have tended over the years."

"May this memorial stand as a tribute and a site of reflection for all families of air force personnel and service people who did not return from conflicts abroad.

There are moments in every NFL season when bad things happen, and how each team responds to it can determine a lot about who they are.
So once David Garrard made the horrible decision to throw a screen pass that St. Louis Rams defensive end Leonard Little intercepted and returned for a touchdown, and after the Jaguars quarterback was done "cussing" in frustration over his faux pas, a team pushing so hard to attain league-wide respectability faced a bit of a crossroads.
Do the Jaguars allow that shocking turn of events, which gave the winless Rams a 17-13 lead with 4:36 left in the game, to become a potential season killer? Or does this young team find some resolve, maybe use this opportunity to show people that the Jaguars are growing up faster than anybody thought possible?
Sunday afternoon, before the smallest announced crowd (42,088) in franchise history, the wealthiest Jaguars became even richer. Garrard and Maurice Jones-Drew, with contract extensions worth a combined $91 million, were money when the Jaguars needed them in a desperate situation.
"One thing football will do is test your manhood," said Jaguars general manager Gene Smith. "It was nice to see, with all the adversity through the course of the game, us hang in there as a team.
"Oooohh! We needed that."
What the Jaguars got was an improbable 23-20 overtime victory at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, a win that required some luck - from getting the ball to start overtime (St. Louis mistakenly calling tails on the coin toss), to the Rams dropping two interceptions in regulation - and a lot of clutch performances out of the team's high-profile offensive players.
And just in time, too, because the Jaguars spent the first three quarters looking like they couldn't get out of their own way. Two turnovers in the red zone. Six total points against a Rams' defense that gave up almost 30 a game.
After a week of so much angst surrounding this team, the last thing it needed to swallow was another loss from an NFL bottom-feeder.
The Jaguars were coming off the worst loss of the Jack Del Rio era, a 41-0 debacle to the Seattle Seahawks, and Jones-Drew's rant about offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter's play-calling at midweek left no doubt about the tension felt inside the Jaguar walls.
"Maurice [Jones-Drew] just said what everybody else was feeling," Koetter said. "Everybody felt horrible about what happened in Seattle. His frustration boiled over into saying what he said, but that's no different than what David [Garrard] felt or Torry [Holt] felt. I was frustrated, too."
So if they responded by becoming the Rams' first victim, and dropping to 2-4 heading into a bye week, no telling what kind of unwanted drama that might have produced.
Fortunately, thanks to a 492-yard output by the offense, and Garrard not coming undone when Little's interception could have ruined everybody's day, the Jaguars are breathing so much easier this morning.
Del Rio called the win "a little carrot," but everyone knew it was so much bigger.
"There were so many variables going into this game and as we were playing it. ..." Garrard said. "I'm telling you, I've just never had as much joy as I do right now after a ballgame just because we needed it so much.
"You could feel after last week that fans were really getting frustrated. There was a lot to deal with."
For the longest time, the Jaguars didn't deal with it all that well. They muffed a critical extra point. They kept moving the chains without scoring any points.
But eventually, the dam broke in the fourth quarter. Jones-Drew ran for 97 of his 133 yards after the Jaguars trailed 10-6 and ended up scoring all three touchdowns. Garrard answered the Little touchdown by leading a 75-yard scoring drive, keyed by his 13-yard scramble and a 26-yard, play-action pass over the middle to Mike Sims-Walker.
"You don't want to try to do everything yourself, even though that's how you feel [after that Little interception]," Garrard said. "It wasn't just me, it had to be me and my teammates. That's part of keeping your composure, making plays and not trying to be super Garrard."
When everyone finally exhaled after Josh Scobee's 36-yard field goal won it in overtime, the Jaguars could take solace in what may be a defining moment for them. An offense that stunk it up just a week ago exploded at an ideal time.
The Jaguars had a 300-yard passer (Garrard), two 100-yard receivers (Holt and Sims-Walker), and a 100-yard rusher (Jones-Drew) in the same game for only the third time in history.
A young team still searching for some kind of identity found maybe the most important NFL component of all - finding a way to win when things looked bleakest.
"All right, I still have some hair remaining, I think," Del Rio said. "I felt like it was going to fall out out there."
In the postgame Jaguars locker room, the song "Wasted" from rapper Gucci Mane was blaring from safety Gerald Alexander's sound system, prompting a few defensive players in one corner to begin gyrating in celebration.
For a while Sunday, it looked like the Jaguars might waste an opportunity to show the NFL that a young team in transition doesn't have to be an afterthought.
Today, all that matters is the Jaguars are 3-3, and a season full of promise is still in front of them.

We have made an HI mosaic of the central 200 pc of the Galaxy using an angular resolution of 15'' (0.6 pc at the Galactic center) and a velocity resolution of 2.5 km s-1. This study provides, for the first time, high enough angular resolution HI data to compare with the many high resolution observations which have been made of Galactic center sources over the past ten years. Information on the velocities, relative distances of sources and HI column densities will be presented. Such data serves to clarify the nature of physical associations between the unique radio continuum features in this region and the atomic and molecular components. In particular, we are interested in the arrangement of sources in the active Radio Arc region: the atomic, ionized and molecular gas in addition to massive stellar clusters and magnetic filaments.

Trust me you don't wanna waist your money buying RW: Paris. That fight is proably 1 of the best, only and exciting things that happen on that season.
Oh, I thought that was suppose to be a really good season.Quote:

1. Austin. From what I'm reading, it's not the best season, but from the seasons I watched it is. I felt for Danny when he got his bone next to his eye broken then had his mom die. But then he found Melinda. I'm just disappointed by what they turned out to be; I heard from the other Fresh Meat cast (when they went on the After Show) that they kept talking about their engagement, and couldn't stop talking about it. They also said they were naive.
2. Key West. I don't know why this season is bashed a lot. Maybe because there were barely any romances; actually, this is the only season that had no castmates have a relationship with each other. Someone that really made this season good for me is Tyler. He was so... cruel. I mean if I had someone treat me like he did with Svetlana, I would ask for him to be taken out of the cast like they did with Puck in San Francisco.
3. Philly. I can barely remember it. I almost barely remember the blonde girl, who's name is Melanie, but I always think it's Melinda. The only thing that stuck out for me is when Landon picked up a knife and was walking toward Melanie. But then Karamo stopped him midway. That's the only interesting thing I can remember.
I can't really rate San Diego (because I only watched some of it) and Denver (because it's not finished yet).
And what do you guys think about Las Vegas, Chicago, and San Diego? I heard that they're the highest rated seasons ever. So there must be something interesting about them. I know that Chicago was filmed during the time of 9-11 and that Trishelle was pretty interesting, but that's it.
I loved me some San Diego. My favorite season. It was one of the hilarious one's IMO. My favorite episode was probably the one when Both Brad and Robin getting arrested on the same night, Brad was so funny, Randy drunk as hell didn't know what was going on, Frankie walking in the street barefooted. Then when the roommates find out, they feel bad but they also make a joke of it.
Yeah, I seen that happen, Brad and Robin were so drunk. Robin looks alot better back then I think.Quote:

I actually liked Paris. Alot of people hate on it though, I think it's definately underrated.
New York-The most "real" season but it does get boring at parts (An entire episode dedicated to Julie befriending a homeless woman?? :wow ). But the cast was incredibly diverse and entertaining, and some of the things they included were hilarious and would NEVER be shown on today's sex/alcohol/fighting packed episodes (Norman yelling at his roomates cause they forgot to tape Star Trek :lol ).
L.A.-Entertaining, but definately the least likable cast. This season was just filled with nasty people (I did like Aaron and Beth A. though) being mean to each other. :nono And don't even get me started on Beth S. She's like herpes, she'll never just go away. :ohno
San Francisco-Got boring at parts, but also had some of the most interesting "storylines". It's funny that he's one of the most mentioned things from this season, cause I think it would have been alot better had Puck not been cast.
London-One of the least interesting seasons. The cast was pretty blah. Not as bad as people claim it to be, but still not really that great either.
Miami-Best. Season. Ever. I adored this season. These people were so dysfunctional and fun to watch.
Boston-Another excellent season. This and Miami are arguably the RW's high points. The Miami cast was kind of immature (but still pretty damn entertaining!) and it was refreshing with this cast because they were all very level headed, intelligent individuals. These two seasons occuring back to back were fun to compare and contrast.
Seattle-Boring at parts, really great at others. This season is kind of meh to me.
Hawaii-The phenomenon starts. RW slowly morphed into something else during this season. This season is great in a "Jerry Springer" type way.
New Orleans-A really great season. Very interesting cast.
Back To NY-Enjoyed this season as well. Although I REALLY wish Mike and Coral had not been cast. So sick of seeing them on challenges.
Chicago-The last REALLY great season of the Real World when it actually seemed somewhat real.
Las Vegas-This is the season where the RW went from being real to be totally about drinking, sexing, and fighting. The turn started with Hawaii but it was this season where it was finalized. Okay season, I enjoy it but it gets tedious (Way too many episodes about Irulan/Alton and Steven/Trishelle) at points.
Paris-This season is one of the most hated and I really don't get why. It's not one of the best, but it still isn't terrible. Just like Miami/Boston this season was filled with fairly intelligent people much unlike the Las Vegas bunch. But MTV had struck gold with Las Vegas' endless supply of drinking and sex so they tried to focus on these things WAY too much with this season. I think this season would have been much better and appreciated much more had it occured before Las Vegas.
San Diego-Great season. Definately the best season to occur in the last three or four years.
Philly-Pretty bad. It had few redeeming qualities and was one of the lowest points for RW.
Austin-Awful. Nuff said.
Key West-Interesting and had some of the good qualities from RW's earlier season (topical subjects) but lost steam towards the end. This season, like Seattle is kind of meh, I enjoyed it but it's nowhere near my favorite.
If you can get your hands on Miami, Boston, New Orleans, Chicago or San Diego through E-bay I'd definately reccomend it. :)
That was one of my favorites from that season. Brad was blitzed. He left that message on the answering machine all slurred, "Randy, PICK ME UP!" I just remember the other roommates laughing about it. What was it he kept calling jail, the drunk tank or something? :lolQuote:

Austion is underatted. I can say like during the late epsidoe's it was getting boring due to the SBSW job and the Danny/Melinda storyline for 3 or 4 epsidoe's straight. It had some good and shocking moments that other season's [since Chicago] didn't have.
I would buy the London, original NY, San Fransisco and Los Angeles seasons if they had them on DVD.

When was the last time you did something courageous?
Take a moment to think about that question.
I was asked this question earlier this week and my mind instantly went to the fear I felt when I left my daughter in the hands of the surgeon for her major operation. It felt different from her other operations because this one was the 'serious' one, things could happen, things I didn't want to happen. She could have been left brain damaged, she could have been left paralysed, She could have died. We were told all this before the operation and had to sign a form to say we understood. We could have not signed, not risked all of that and just let her live her life deformed and in pain. It was the most courageous thing I have ever done, letting her go, not knowing what would happen, trusting her life and well being into the hands of someone else.
She came back safe. It was worth it. Our biggest fears revolve around losing those we love.
Now, on a smaller scale I was set to thinking of what scared me in my every day life. I don't like spiders but I wouldn't say I'm scared of them anymore. I have built up my courage slowly and now I can catch them in my bug catcher and put them outside.
I'm also scared of conflict. It happens a lot in my life and I'm the peacemaker. I need to keep things calm, I can't bear it if it isn't. I'm frightened of the consequences of violence and hatred. Even if it's only verbal it can be just as bad as physical. I hate violence of any kind and I will admit to being afraid of it. I feel that sometimes I let my fear of conflict get in the way of expressing my true feelings. That's not very brave is it?
With my illness I fear that I may never get better. I'm afraid of living the rest of my life not being able to walk, not being able to run or climb or do the things I used to do. However, this is one fear I can calm. Yes, I'm frightened but my positivity and love of life itself gets me through this. I'd rather be here and disabled than not be here at all. Most of all my positivity gives me hope. I can accept being disabled even if I fear it, but I can't let the fear stop me from getting better.
That sounds paradoxical and it probably is. I fear not getting better, but I also fear the things I have to do to get better. It's scary getting to my feet and walking in a body that no longer responds naturally. It's scary letting other people see me try. It's scary when I think about falling either inside or outside. If I fall I know I won't be able to get back up alone, and it will be so painful having someone lift me up. I've been so lucky not falling so far, I've had a lot of near misses in the house. but not actually fallen yet. There is always something to lean on to stop me from going down.
This week I faced up to a fear and I was really courageous.
This week I walked outside! I walked out of my front door and up the garden path to the street. Our path is about 3 metres long and a slight incline. I've not walked on an incline before. I have walked the path with my crutches, but this time I walked alone, no crutches, no sticks. My partner walked with me, there to catch me if I fell.
I didn't fall or stumble, I concentrated very hard and walked unaided to the end of the path. It was slow, it was scary, it hurt, but I wasn't frightened, I felt brave. I did not worry about the neighbours seeing me. I know I walk funny and I do feel embarrassed. I don't want to be laughed at or pitied. I just want to be me, be normal.
I think I might do it again sometime.

A NEIGHBOURHOOD watch group has been set up to help tackle a dangerous playground.
Residents in the new Greenfield Park estate near Toll Bar have formed a campaign group to try and get repairs carried out on a children's play park, which they say 'is an accident waiting to happen.'
Saleem Memon, who is organising the group, said: "It is really dangerous because there is standing water gathering all over the park.
"Some of it is really deep and a child could fall in and injure themselves or drown.
"The other day there was a little girl who fell through the gaps on the rope bridge and landed in the water - she could have been seriously injured.
"About half of the people living here have children and we do not want anyone to get hurt there."
When visiting the playground with the Free Press Mr Memon measured the water level at almost 18cm deep in a trench running alongside play equipment.
Parents living in the new estate have also raised safety concerns about the lack of lighting around the playground and about sharp wire around the play area's boundaries.
They have complained to the developers who came to the site to carry out checks, but residents still do not think the park is safe.
Mr Menon added: "It looks like some of the holes have been filled with rocks, but there is still water.
"We just can't understand it, the playground looks like it hasn't been finished."
The site was developed by Ben Bailey Homes, who completed the 73 homes last year.
A Ben Bailey Homes' spokesperson said: "Following successful completion of the Greenfield Park development, an integral part of the scheme was the formation of a public open space for residents living on the development.
"All work on the public open space was completed to the approved scheme specification in November 2011, which included the full provision of play equipment and landscaping of the entire area.
"However, we acknowledge that winter weather conditions have resulted in the accumulation of standing water in certain areas of the public open space. We are currently working to address this issue as a matter of urgency and incorporate additional land drainage."
The Neighbourhood Watch group held their first meeting at the Toll Bar Community Centre and are trying to encourage support in their campaign across the new estate.

Electric Vehicles
Electric Vehicles (or EVs) are an exciting option for drivers and our environment. As these new vehicles hit the road, Minnesota Power is here to help with answers to common questions.
What is an Electric Vehicle?
An electric vehicle (or EV) is a car that uses electricity as fuel. Batteries in the car store electricity which is used to propel the vehicle. When the batteries run low, they can be recharged.
There are different types of EVs:
- Battery electric vehicles (or BEVs) run entirely on battery power. They are recharged by plugging the vehicle in and their range is limited by the amount of electricity the batteries are able to hold. The Nissan Leaf is an example of a BEV.
- Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (or PHEVs) use a combination of batteries and an internal combustion engine to extend the range of the vehicle. They can also be plugged in to directly recharge the onboard batteries. The Chevy Volt is an example of a PHEV.
Why choose an EV?
EVs produce fewer greenhouse gases and other pollutants than standard vehicles.
EVs cost less to operate than gasoline-powered vehicles.
EVs reduce America's reliance on foreign oil by operating on domestically-produced electricity.
Where do you charge an EV?
NEW Solar Electric Vehicle charging station now open in Duluth's Canal Park - Read the details here.
EV owners currently have two options for charging their vehicle:
- Level 1 charging uses a 120-volt circuit and allows a vehicle to be charged anywhere a standard electric outlet can be found. Most EVs can be charged this way in 8 to 10 hours.
- Level 2 charging uses a 240-volt circuit like the kind used for an electric clothes dryer. Most EVs can be charged this way in about 4 to 5 hours.
How can Minnesota Power help?
Minnesota Power is actively researching EVs and has determined that our electric system is ready to support EV charging.
We are ready to guide you through the setup of your charging location and can provide a list of electricians in your area to help with any wiring work that may be required.
Minnesota Power's standard controlled-access rate also applies to EVs. To see if this would be a good fit for you or if you have any other EV questions, please contact us by email.
We added two electric vehicles to our fleet

San Francisco Chronicle
September 4, 2012
Written by Jill Tucker
In the first hour of the first day of school Tuesday, the sixth-grade Oakland boy was sure he was in trouble for goofing off.
His teacher, Peter Wilson, had stopped his lesson in mid-sentence and turned his attention to the African American preteen, who now wore an uh-oh expression as he braced for a rebuke.
"Did you eat breakfast this morning?" Wilson asked quietly as the confused boy shook his head no. "Your actions are telling me you're hungry."
The teacher, also African American, then promised to bring fruit and granola bars the next day and returned to teaching. The boy's behavior immediately improved.
That might not have been the result at other Oakland middle schools, where a third of black males were suspended at least once last year.
But at the 100 Black Men Community School, a new all-male public charter school, educators and organizers say they refuse to accept those odds – or any of the other statistics associated with black boys that include higher dropout rates, lower test scores and disproportionate placement in special education programs.
The school, started and financially supported by the Bay Area chapter of the 100 Black Men nonprofit organization, is open to all male students, but it was created specifically for issues facing black boys – including difficult family lives, street culture, community violence and lack of male role models outside professional sports and the music industry.
"We know our children can perform as well as any other children," said Dr. Mark Alexander, an epidemiologist and chairman of the board for the local 100 Black Men. "We're going to create a culture that hopefully will be stronger than the streets."

There is no excuse for not buckling up
Updated 7:56 pm, Friday, March 1, 2013
With a few limited exceptions, Texas law requires everyone in a motor vehicle to be secured by a seat belt, yet every day thousands of Texans ignore the law. The consequences for disregarding the law are often tragic and sometimes deadly as we witnessed last month. Five area residents, three of them teenagers, lost their lives in three separate automobile crashes because they were not wearing seat belts, according to investigating law enforcement officers.
Texas motorists and passengers have come a long way in the more than 10 years since Texas became a participant in the national "Click It or Ticket" seat belt awareness campaign.
When the state first became active in the program only three out of every four Texans buckled up when they got into a vehicle. Today, seat belt use in Texas is 93.7 percent, placing the state seventh in the nation overall. But there is still much room for improvement.
In 2011, nearly 3,000 died in fatal collisions in Texas, almost half were not secured in their seats, according to the Texas Click It or Ticket website. The National Highway Traffic Administration estimates 13,000 lives could be saved in the U.S. each year if people obeyed seat belt laws.
Many of those who choose not to buckle up believe air bags will prevent serious bodily injury, but air bags are designed to work best when they are protecting drivers and passengers who are properly buckled in their seats. They are not a substitute for seat belts.
Statistics showing that seat belt use can decrease the number of death and injuries in vehicle crashes by 50 percent are difficult to ignore, but even with this data it is difficult to achieve 100 percent buy-in from the general public.
No one likes to be nagged or lectured, but Texans can do their part to help improve the numbers by requiring anyone who rides with them to do the same even for the shortest of trips. It is the law and helps save lives.

'Cedar Rapids': Can Ed Helms pull off a leading-man role? [Trailer]
Until now, Ed Helms has largely been an endearing but supporting character on both the small and big screens: as a correspondent on "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," as the whipped boyfriend in "The Hangover," as a sweet but slightly pathetic salesman on "The Office."
But Helms finally gets his turn as a leading man in February's "Cedar Rapids," in which he again plays what's becoming his stock-in-trade character of the lovable loser.
In the newly-released trailer for Miguel Arteta's film, we meet Helms' character Tim Lippe, an up-the-middle, uptight Midwestern insurance agent whose company sends him to a convention in Cedar Rapids. There he meets a group of agents with a penchant for partying (played by John C. Reilly, Anne Heche and Isiah Whitlock Jr.).
The movie, which will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, seeks to augur a comeback for Arteta ("The Good Girl") after his ambivalently received "Youth In Revolt" this year.
In a way, Arteta's new film almost seems like an indie version of "The Hangover," except that the cast of zany characters here seems more square. (Helms' character is the kind of person who finds that the car he's rented is a run-of-the-mill Chevy and seems genuinely tickled.)
The movie hinges on the idea that Tim attends the conference as a last-ditch effort to save his struggling company. Instead, he becomes distracted by his new wild cohorts and a budding romance with Heche's character. The stakes don't seem all that high, but there appear to be plenty of enjoyable moments.
While Reilly is as amusingly over-the-top as he was in "Step Brothers," it's Helms who shines. He's reprising the entertaining role of naive goofball , and, fortunately, this time we're getting a lot more of him.
