text: Flatly told story of a dentist who strangled his wife but wasn't prosecuted for years. Early in the morning of August 30, 1986, 33-year old Dr. Glen Wolsieffer called his brother Neil for help. Arriving at 75 Birch St., Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Neil found his brother semiconscious on the floor, and called the police. When they arrived, they discovered Wolsieffer's wife, Betty, strangled in the bedroom. A screen was cut open and a ladder rested against the bedroom window from the outside. Wolsieffer was taken to the hospital, where he was found to have a bump on the back of his head and ligature marks on the back of his neck only. His story that he had been strangled and knocked unconscious by an intruder immediately came under suspicion due to the minor nature of his possibly self-inflicted injuries and to the ladder having been placed with the rungs backwards. In time, it was discovered that Wolsieffer had been carrying on a long affair with his dental assistant and having a sporadic fling with a woman he'd met in an aerobics class. All evidence against him was circumstantial, though, and, according to Pienciak (Deadly Masquerade, 1990), a shifting cast of D.A.'s and investigators, as well as police incompetence, kept him from trial for nearly four years. Wolsieffer finally was convicted, on circumstantial evidence, of third-degree murder; he remains free on appeal. Unfortunately, the characters whom Pienciak describes are so blandly middle class that they'll hold little interest for many readers. Wolsieffer himself is presented without color, as a golf-playing dentist bored with his profession and having lunch-time trysts at the Busy Day Motel. There's minimal character development (leaving readers unsure as to why Wolsieffer murdered), too much trivia about cops checking records, little dramatic build-up, and an unduly confusing narrative trail. True crime that's truly dull.

Everybody wants a baby. Until the baby arrives.
NBC this season is charting the stages of father-infant romance from the first stirrings of yearning to the postpartum fatigue that comes with teething, colic and dirty diapers. It's a trajectory that can be as true for new mothers as it is for new fathers, only not as funny.
Even in this day and age there is something a little incongruous and cute about a grown man wearing a teeny baby in a sling on his chest — especially when the mother is nowhere in sight.
Both "The New Normal" and "Guys With Kids" focus on the foolishness of fathers. Mothers exist, but they are secondary.
"The New Normal," which has its premiere on Tuesday, is about two successful, attractive gay men who decide to use a surrogate to have a baby. "Guys With Kids," which begins on Wednesday, offers different kinds of normal along the spectrum of fatherhood: a divorced dad; a stay-at-home dad; and a wage earner whose wife stays home with the children.
Both shows come with pedigrees. Ryan Murphy, who made "Glee" and "Nip/Tuck," is one of the creators of "The New Normal," and his is the funnier, more appealing show: it is an arch comedy with a soft heart behind its scrim of fast-paced patter.
Jimmy Fallon is the executive producer of "Guys With Kids," and some of the jokes are amusing, but the show is a traditional sitcom that looks slightly dated. The focus on today's feminized men is a little too fashionable: there are so many books and endless talk show discussions these days about the weakening of the American man. Yet sitcoms that have tried to co-opt that fascination, like ABC's "Man Up!," have mostly failed. One of the few to survive is "Last Man Standing," in which Tim Allen defiantly bucks the trend.
"The New Normal" is filmed cinematically like "New Girl," which gives it a more contemporary feel. Like "Modern Family," only more so, it showcases a gay relationship. The series is also immensely helped by Andrew Rannells, a Broadway star from "The Book of Mormon" and a quicksilver actor who can be brittle and outré one second and touching the next. He plays Bryan, the flamboyant, impulsive partner of David (Justin Bartha), who is more laid-back and butch. (David watches football, while Bryan shops.)
Bryan decides he wants a baby when he sees an adorable one while shopping at Barneys. He also wants a pair of capri pants. As he models them in the mirror, he asks the salesman, "Are you sure I don't look like Mary Tyler Moore in these?" The salesman asks if he would like to look like Mary Tyler Moore.
"Well, not the hair, obviously," Bryan snaps, adding, more pensively, "But yes, yes I do."
Ellen Barkin plays a great-grandmother — and that's not the worst thing that the show's creators have done to her. Ms. Barkin is cast as the bossy, bigoted grandmother of a surrogate mother, Goldie (Georgia King), but her racist and homophobic remarks are too crude and heavy-handed for the character. It's as if the writers were afraid that a more subtle display of prejudice would somehow make it seem benign.
There are no interfering grandparents or great-grandparents in the pilot of "Guys With Kids." Instead the immature, overburdened fathers who live in the same apartment complex rely on one another for support. The opening scene begins with these three men in a bar, their backs to the camera as they watch a basketball game on a TV mounted on the wall. When their team scores, they cheer and turn, and each has a baby strapped to his chest.
Chris (Jesse Bradford) is still being bossed around by his high-powered, controlling ex-wife and is not a confident father. He consults his friends about what he calls his dilemma: he thinks his baby should be drinking whole milk, but the bar serves only 2 percent.
"You know what a dilemma is, right, Chris?" Nick (Zach Cregger), a father of two, replies. "A dilemma is having to decide which of your rugby teammates you're going to eat to stay alive."
Gary (Anthony Anderson) is a stay-at-home father of four children, so he is too tired to give advice. His face is familiar from "Law & Order," and so are a few others. Tempestt Bledsoe plays Gary's wife, Marny, but is best known as Vanessa Huxtable on "The Cosby Show." Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who was Meadow on "The Sopranos," is now Emily, Nick's stay-at-home wife.
On both of these premieres men are the new moms. But "Guys With Kids" is an old-fashioned comedy with a modern twist. "The New Normal" is a modern comedy with a twist of old-fashioned sentimentality.

Lord of the Rings Tattoos
Fantasy Tattoos and Lord of the Rings
Because The Lord of the Rings is probably my favorite story of all time, and one of my favorite movies, I wanted to check out what types of tattoos there would be out there in connection to the franchise.
What surprised me was there weren't as many as I thought there would be, and the most popular tattoo I found from the series was the elven script called Quenya, which was a fictional language of the high-elves of the J.R.R. Tolkien universe.
The script created was so stunningly beautiful that many consider it an art form in itself. This is probably the reason it's the most popular Lord of the Rings tattoo (my unofficial observation).
I included a musical interpretation of Into the West by someone translating it into 'Quenya,' in case you've never heard it before. Pretty well done!
Lord of the Rings fans are just like any other fans, they're committed and have been for decades in some cases. And those that were exposed to the story for the first time in the film version of the story quickly became rabid fans as well.
So tattoo designs associated with The Lord of the Rings for fans are more than just tattoos, they're part of the legend and lore of a story that will remain popular far into the future. The fans will make sure that's the case without a doubt.
White Tree of Gondor Tattoo
Black Line Gollum Tattoo photo
This tattoo of Gollum really captures the way he was portrayed in the film version of Lord of the Rings. Other than his eyes possibly being a little too friendly (although there was a brief time when that was true), I think it's a great likeness and interpretation of him.
The tower with the moon behind it in the background looks awesome.
Gollum Tattoo
Tattoo of J.R.R. Tolkien
J.R.R. Tolkien was the creative genius behind the Lord of the Rings world, language, and mythology. It's fitting to see this tattoo made in his likeness. Pretty unusual in that most tattoos are of the characters created by authors, not the author himself.
This one is of possibly the most recognizable photo of Tolkien smoking his pipe.
J.R.R. Tolkien Tattoo
Great Aragorn Tattoo from Lord of the Rings
The likeness of Aragorn is about as good as you can get with a tattoo, and captures almost exactly who he was and what he represented, along with actor Viggo Mortenson.
I like how the shadowing on the face gives the sense of the weight that Aragorn always bore up until he finally decided to become the man he was meant to be, as the Elven king exhorted him to be.
Aragorn Tattoo
Nazgul Tattoo
I really like this Nazgul tattoo, which was one of the major characters on the side of the shadow in the story. The body and wings of the creature he's riding look great, and the inclusion of the rider adds a sense of the deadly combination that searched for and sought to destroy the Hobbit heroes in the battle between good and evil.
They are probably among the more memorable bad guys in film history.
Tattoo of Nazgul Riding Fell-Beast
Another Bad Guy Tattoo - LOTR Orc
Hey, this isn't any old orc, this guy is recognizable, and done very well by the tattoo designer and artist. If you're looking for an orc tattoo from Lord of the Rings, this guy would be tough to beat.
The detail on the face of the orc is extraordinary, conveying the pure evil and hatred inhabiting their dark hearts.
Tattoo of Orc in Lord of the Rings
Memorable Gandalf Quote Tattoo
Of all the many important lines and saying in Lord of the Rings, this may be the one most remembered and liked by fans. Very cool that someone had it tattooed in this form.
It says, "I will not say do not weep. For not all tears are an evil."
Tattoo of Gandalf Quote
Saruman Tattoo
There are some really good tattoo artists working on the Lord of the Rings tattoos, and here Saruman is captured fantastically.
Saruman became the arch-nemesis of Gandalf and the fellowship of the ring before his demise in the film. In the book, he was finally defeated much later.
As Gandalf once said about himself, he had become what Saruman was meant to have become. Maybe this was a time before he turned to the shadow.
Tattoo of Mines of Moria Entry
I really like this Mines of Moria tattoo, but I wonder what's up with the Greek words below.
Too bad the decision to show the lettering lit up like in the movie wasn't made, as I think it would moved it from a good tattoo to a great one. But still a nice tattoo design depicting one of the crucial moments associated with the Lord of the Rings film.
Tattoo of Entry into Mines of Moria
Frodo Falling at the Inn
This is a must-have tattoo for looking at a Lord of the Rings tattoo gallery, as it's one of the more important events in the entire story.
It's really effective how the artist brought the gold of the ring out on the black and white background. The almost invisibility of the hand in the front is also very powerful. Tremendous tattoo.
Tattoo of Frodo at Inn
Great Quality of Lord of the Rings Tattoos
I was very impressed with this collection and gallery of Lord of the Rings tattoos. Being a huge fan myself, I'm sure some of my personal bias came through. But by any measurement, these are really good tattoos, and it doesn't even come close to revealing the large number of characters in the film and book series.
Questions & Answers
is there a meaning of the Elven script under the tree? I would be happy if you know the meaning and answer.
Hi there your is a good hub, it was interesting reading.
As you are a fan of lord of the rings, i thought you may want to look at my new hub which features my own lord of the rings tattoos
Aragorn looks like hes having a stroke.

I had a great Saturday! My Mom and I did a little shopping. We're both a little broke right now, so we went to Good Will instead of our usual places. The Good Will here is amazing. I can always find brand new clothes because a lot of area stores donate clothes to the store. So I got a brand new (with tags still attached!) shirt that is from J C Penny's. Get this...it was size XL and fit PERFECT. Ok, I know the sizing must be skewed, but I was happy!! I also found an Old Navy size XXL shirt that was in brand new condition also that I fell in love with. It's a little snug in the hip area, but I can work it! Besides, I'm going to be getting smaller. This one was long sleeves also. Guess how much both shirts cost total? $3!! Turns out they were having 1/2 price day on all of the clothing. Score!
After that we headed to the Apple Orchard. This is a Fall tradition for my hubby and I. We enjoy going there. We actually don't buy apples, no matter how messed up that sounds, because we get them for free from my in law's from their trees. But we do treat ourselves to their donuts, that's the main reason anyone goes there...they're amazing apple cider donuts. I only ate one and felt content. We had a glass of apple cider also. We picked up a few other things at the store, including dried cranberries, apple cinnamon chips, and I won't mention the other things. lol But All with moderation! Everything is very expensive there and it's always PACKED with people. But we love to go.
From there we headed out to my niece's birthday party that was in WI at a RecPlex. I wish we had gyms like that here! They had a track that was on a balcony that ran around the top of the basketball area. They had an awesome swim area, ice skating rink, and I'm sure more but that's all I saw! It's right on a lake so they have triathlons there also. The party was short, but fun to see all the little girls dress up in their princess dresses for the princess party. :) Cute! I ate a very small piece of cake there.
On the way home, we stopped at Olive Garden. I had whole wheat linguine with Portabello mushroom marinara sauce (which I ate half of), salad, and 2 1/2 bread sticks. Went a little overboard on the bread sticks. But it was delicious. By the way, they have unlimited pasta bowls (no need to eat more than one) for only $8.95. Fabulous deal! On the way home we had an ice cream cone.
I totaled out 52 points, Oops! But I still have weekly points left over, so I'd say I'm still ok. Today should be a little easier eating wise.

Photos, Keynotes, and Memories from the NASPA Annual Meeting celebratory sessions
Pre-Conference Workshop-Addressing Student Mental Health: Understanding the Past in order to Plan for the Future
Counseling services on college campuses began for a specific purpose during an era of great change in higher education—the influx of veterans into college after WWII. As student needs have changed over time, so have the models by which services are offered. Participants will learn the historical context, factors driving change and current models to inform and facilitate their thinking about meeting future needs.

Transitional Leadership: Opportunities for Visionary Interim Administrators
Student affairs leadership has never been as important as it is now in the changing world of higher education as we face the rapid transitions of campus leaders. NASPA and Keeling & Associates partner to provide opportunities for experienced senior administrators to assist institutions in providing excellent leadership during times of transition. Join us to learn if this process meets your campus or professional needs and expectations.

Strategic Thinking for Student Affairs Leaders
Planning is a fact of life for staff at all levels of an institution. A key to successful planning is soliciting open and honest feedback from all members of the campus community. If a leader is not open to hearing the truth, the plan can be developed but it is not likely to succeed. Capitalizing on their experience, the panelists will share strategies they have used to solicit information from campus groups. When participants return to campus, they will have additional tools they can use in their own planning efforts.

Supporting Student Mental Health Across Campus
The need for increased attention to the mental health challenges of students is well understood, and institutions are responding to the degree possible with expanded staff in counseling centers along with an increased focus on resiliency, wellness, and self-care. The panel will discuss strategies to engage administrators, colleagues in other Student Affairs units, faculty, academic leaders, and other members of the campus community in these efforts. Discussion will focus on strategies to reach out, motivate, and provide resources to those who interact with students every day and are, therefore, in a position to identify and provide a level of assistance and referral to a student in need.

World War 2
Bomber Command (1943 - 1945)
In January 1943, after the RAF had already engaged in a number of spectacular 'demonstration' raids involving up to a thousand bombers, both forms of strategic bombing were given a place in Allied strategy at the Casablanca summit and subsequently in the form of a green light for a combined (in reality separate) Bomber offensive. Though more traditional strategies would be pursued, the bomber barons would be given a chance to prove their case that bombing could win the war.
The results in 1943 and early 1944 were disappointing. Daylight raids by American bomber formations, mounted deep into German territory, suffered very high losses. The daylight raids mounted against ball bearing facilities at Schweinfurf and Regensburg in August and October 1943 saw over 20 per cent of the bombing force destroyed, and such deep raids had to be suspended. The limited damage done to German production plant, meanwhile, was quickly repaired. As for the night bombing efforts of the RAF, while aircraft losses were generally lower and the destruction on the ground much greater, the overall effect on German morale and efficiency was not as devastating as was hoped.
Under the right weather conditions and with enough aircraft, Bomber Command proved it could wreak enormous havoc in a particular city, as the great firestorm raised in Hamburg one night in July 1943 (40,000 killed) demonstrated. Yet though much damage was not all German cities proved so vulnerable, as indicated by the high losses (over 5 per cent nightly) and relatively poor effect of the campaign mounted against Berlin in the winter months of 1943-44.
Moreover, successful raids such as Hamburg were matched by disasters such as the attack on Nuremberg in March 1944 in which over 500 Aircrew were lost as against 129 Germans. Overall the key problem was that, despite great destruction and the loss of hundreds of thousands of German lives, claims that Germany was not he verge of collapse proved false. Air raid precautions combined with the tight grip exercised by the Nazi state meant that even after the worst raids civilian morale did not crack to the point of paralysis.
The spring of 1944 did, however, see an improvement in the fortunes of the USAAF. The bombers of the 8th Air Force in Britain were now joined by the bombers of the 15th Air Force in Italy. More importantly, the use of drop tanks meant that American fighters, principally the P-51 Mustang and P-47 Thunderbolt, could escort four-engined B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator bombers all the way to and from targets in Germany. Though bomber losses were still significant, attrition began to take a serious toll on the fighter arm of the Luftwaffe.
Against the will of the bomber barons the focus of the Anglo-American heavy bomber attacks was partly switched in the spring and summer of 1944 to targets in France, Principally railway yards as well as the occasional tactical target. Though rather imprecise, heavy bombers played a significant part in reducing the German capacity to repel the Allied invasion of France in June 1944. Moreover, battles with escort fighters as well as bombers over Germany meant that by this time the Luftwaffe had very few fighters to spare to defend airspace over France.
The early summer of 1944 also witnessed the start of the last and most significant German attempt at a retaliatory strategic bombing campaign through the use of missiles. More Allied success in strategic bombing was achieved over the autumn and winter of 1944-45, as USAAF attacks on the oil industry continued to generate serious shortages of fuel (especially high-grade aviation fuel). Sheer weight of numbers brought on by the Allied superiority in production and training capacity, coupled with advances in navigation and radar jamming techniques, meant that air defences over the Reich at last began to disintegrate. Bomber Command, benefiting from decreased night fighter activity, continued to strike at cities and achieved great success in the Ruhr valley where steel production slumped precipitously in the latter part of 1944. Whether the RAF's destruction of Dresden one night in February 1945, or equally indiscriminate American bombing of Berlin and other cities by day through cloud, materially hastened the end of the war.
The strategic bombing was more cost effective, heavy bombers like the Lancaster or B-17 Flying Fortress were very sophisticated and thus comparatively expensive weapons requiring a significant of high-end Allied resources, both material and human, to produce and maintain bomber forces of well over a thousand aircraft.

About the author
I've been programming C# for a litte more than two years. That's longer than the .NET technology has been publicly available. I run the site cshrp.net which is one of the largest C# portals on the Internet. This tutorial first came to mind quite some time ago, when I first noticed the tutorials forum. Since then, I've had a hard time finding time to write it but it seems I've actually found some time now.
"Why would I want to learn C#", or "Why a C# tutorial on a security site" one might ask. These are quite valid question and the best reason I can think of is that Microsoft is the biggest actor in this business. The .NET initiative is huge and very well thought. C# is the most competent language amongst the .NET-enabled languages. Thus it seems to be a good idea to learn some C#. It may actually be so that with .NET, Microsoft starts taking security seriously...
Getting started
To do any .NET development at all you need the .NET SDK or Visual Studio.NET. The latter costs lots of money so we'll just settle with the .NET SDK which can be found here. Development can be done in Notepad, Emacs or whatever you use. I do however recommend SharpDevelop wich is free and really cool. It is completly written in C# so be sure to install the SDK first or you wont get it to work. There's also Antechinus C# Programming Editor but it costs like $35 but it's well worth it.
The absolute best development platform is Visual Studio.NET so if you happen to have an MSDN subscription you might want to use it instead. Be sure to only install what you need though or it will eat disc space like crazy.
Oh well. Once you're happy with your choice of editor and you've installed the SDK you can start fiddle with .NET and C#. csc.exe is your C# compiler and ildasm.exe is your CIL dissasembler. I'll make heavy use of them both throughout this tutorial.
About the Microsoft.NET initiative
The .NET initiative was first presented at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference in Orlando in June 2000. Bill Gates held a speach and showed some nifty stuff. Since then the .NET-framework have gone through several versions. First the PDC one, wich we weren't all that many to get our hand on. About three months later came Beta1 which was publicly available. Beta2 came sometime around last fall and the RTM (Release To Manufacturing) came in february this year. So the actual framework in its complete form has only been around for 5 months at the time of writing. One very important thing to note here is that Microsoft released beta software more than a year before they released the RTM. This is a very important fact because it shows how badly Microsoft actually wanted to incorporate the wishes of the developers. When you look at .NET from a business strategy standpoint it is clear that this is the biggest thing Microsoft has done since Win32 and with the amount of money they're putting in .NET they're sure to succeed. It seems Microsoft have learned from some of their mistakes made in the past and actually payed attention this time. Some of the bigger changes are the open source like nature of .NET, another is the ECMA-standardisation of parts of the framework and the C# language. The actual standardisation documents can be found here.
The ECMA-standardisation also brings with it the possibility for other OS's to develop ports of the .NET framework. THere are currently a port for freeBSD developed by Corell and Microsoft. There's also the mono-project wich releases tar balls of a .NET environment for linux pretty much daily. They even have .deb packages for you apt-getters out there.
What exactly is .NET
.NET is all about loosly coupled, internet based applications that communicate via standard protocols. It sounds like buzzwords but is suprisingly the best way to actually describe .NET.
.NET is a framework for programming and compiling .NET-enabled application. This is done via the CTS - the Common Type System, the CLI - the Common Language Infrastructure, wich all .NET-languages needs to adhere to.
Basically a .NET enabled language must be object oriented, strongly typed, incorporate exception handling and support the data types in the CTS, The memory handling in .NET is done via a Garbage Collector so that must be supported too. (I can hear the sighs now, but the GC works suprisingly well).
By adhering to these strict but few rules a class can be written in on language, instansiated in another and throw exceptions to a third. The whole application can be debugged seemlessly even though it is written with three different languages. This is the absolute primary strengt of .NET, the actual cost for competence is minimal because much of what the programmer knows can be applied in .NET if the language is .NET enabled. Microsoft releases four languages with it's runtime, JScript.NET (wich is now fully object oriented, has datatypes and behaves really cool), VB.NET (wich doesn't look much like VB anymore), C# (wich is new with, and espesially developed for the .NET framework) and C++ with managed extensions. (Basically what they've done here is taken all the .NET rules and incorporated them in some header files and stuff and hooked C++ up with a Garbage Collector.) There are twenty something third party languages as well, those I can remember are:
Haskell, COBOL, Oberon, ML, Eiffel, Python, Perl, Mercury and Pascal.
C# and .NET - How do they relate
As I have mentioned earlier, C# was created for .NET. C# is a very competent language and it's fun to use (those of you who program perl will understand what I mean with the term 'fun'). C# can't however, exist or work without the .NET as it is executed within the .NET runtime, makes use of the .NET base classes and has its memory collected by the .NET garbage collector.
This is also the reason for the texts above. One has to know a few things about .NET in general before he can start fiddle with C#.
I also said that C# is the most competent .NET-language. I belive this to be more than a mere personal reflection as the language was designed with .NET in mind. It has no shortcomings due to backwards compatibility or such. There are also quite a few things in different situations that gets done implicitly for you in other languages. These have to be done explicitly in C# so the actual understanding for the .NET framework is greater with C#. Like many other .NET languages, C# have some nifty features wich can be used only in private members, ie they must never be exposed in the actual interface of the class or the cross compatibility between .NET languages will fail. If one knows however that the class will be used together with no other languages than C# he can make use of these features wherever he pleases. One of theses features is C++ like pointers for example. The same result can be achieved with the "ref" keyword but pointers are so much cooler to use, besides it will make C++ programmers feel right at home.
Your first C#-program
At this point you should have some basic understanding of what .NET is all about. You have installed the .NET SDK and you're happy with the editor you've chosen for yourself. It is time to write some code. C# in syntax, is very similar to Java. Those of you with a background in C++ or Java will immediatly recognize many keywords and access modifiers. C# is case sensitive and all members must be encapsulated in a class. Major difference from C++. Also, C# doesn't support header files because of the just stated fact. Since everything need to be put in a class, a struct or an enum there is no need for header file. Anyway, below is the mandatory "Hello world" in C#
Not very complicated but I belive it's alway better to start from the absolute basics. First line is a comment. C# support C++ style comments. ie "//" and "/**/", the latter for comments that span multiple lines. On the third line we find our "using" directive. This is not a mandatory part of the program but if we decide to use it, it goes at the top of the page. What we're saying here is just that we want to use classes in the System namespace. Console, with its WriteLine method is a class under the System namespace. The using directive in C# is the same thing as "using namespace" in C++. It just points to a logical hierarchy, a shortcut if you will. No actual including of anything takes place.//hello.cs
using System;
class Hello
public static void Main()
Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
The "Main()" method marks the entrypoint. This is where execution of out program starts. Main has to be declared "public" and "static" or compilation will fail. This makes perfect sence because "public" declare what can access said member and everyone need access to Main. "static" declares the member callable even though the class encapsulating it haven't been instansiated. Since Main marks the entrypoint nothing is instansiated yet. "void" is of course the return type of the method. It's preferable to declare members that return nothing as void although declaring them as int and returning 0 works too. It is, altough, mostly done in windows programming. At the console there is no need for it.
Console is the class representnig standard input/output and WriteLine writes a string to said class, appending a linebreak at the end of the string. Another method is "Write" which skips the line break at the end. Thus Writeline("Hello") and Write("Hello\n") are equvivalent.
Both Write and WriteLine support a nifty little way to include up to three variables in a string. It is done like so:
Where name, age, and shoeno are arbitrary variables variables. ToString() converts a value type to a string, more on this in "Variables. Value- and Reference types, .NET-aliases"Console.WriteLine("Hello {0}, you are {1} years old and have size {10} in shoes",
name, age.ToString(), shoeno.ToString());
Variables. Value- and Reference types, .NET-aliases
There are really two types of data in C# value types, which are allocated on the stack and popped when they go out of scope and reference types which store a reference on the stack to the actual data that is stored on the heap. The garbage collector traverses the stack from time to time to check if there is something on the heap that hasn't a corresponding reference on the stack. If so, the data on the heap is garbage collected.
One of the most basic things in every programming language are variables. These can be thought of as an alias for a specific piece of data and like everything else in C# they come in two different flavours - value and reference. On top of this, most of them are .NET aliases as well. Remeber that the Common Type System specifies wich variable types are available to a .NET program? Well, C# has its own name for them, but the C# variable types are really only aliases for the actual .NET variable type.
These are the value types of C#, with their .NET alias and a description:
sbyte - System.SByte - 8-bit signed integer
short - System.Int16 - 16-bit signed integer
int - System.Int32 - 32-bit integer
long - System.Int64 - 64-bit integer
byte - System.Byte - 8-bit unsigned integer
ushort - System.Int16 - 16-bit unsigned integer
uint - System.Int32 - 32-bit uninteger
ulong - System.Int64 - 64-bit uninteger
float - System.Single - 32-bit single precision floating point
double - System.Double - 64-bit double precision floating point
decimal - System.Decimal - 128-bit high precission decimal notation
bool - System.Boolean - Logical true/false, not compatible with 1/0
char - System.Char - One single 16-bit character (Unicode)
The reference types are only two:
object - System.Object - The actual root type. All other types derive from it
string - System.String - Unicode string
Whether you write the .NET notation or the C# notation when declaring variables in C# is really a matter of taste though I suggest you use the latter for consistency.
string myString = "Hello"; and System.String = "Hello"; are interchangeable.

While some men are content with dating their significant other for years, there comes a time when marriage seems the next logical step. However, if your man hasn't shown any interest in marriage, you may need to do research to figure out if he is going to propose. Men who do not want to marry exhibit signs, both subtle and overt. Taking time to carefully notice these may help you understand where your marriage future lies with your guy.
He Avoids the "M" Word
Communication, both verbal and non-verbal, is always a good indicator of how well a relationship is faring or what your boyfriend is thinking. If he is uncomfortable when the topic of marriage is brought up in a conversation or if he is constantly ducking questions about where he sees the relationship going in the future, this may mean he is not going to propose to you any time soon.
He Won't Introduce You to His Family
If you have been dating your beau for a long time and he still has not introduced you to his family yet, this could be a portent that he does not intend to marry you. He may wish to avoid the pitfall of allowing his relatives to bond with you to such a degree that they'll be just as hurt as you will when he decides that the relationship is over and that it is time to move on.
Relationship is Emotionally Unstable
Looks for patterns of emotional instability, which can be a strong indicator of where your relationship stands as far as marriage commitment is concerned. If your man is very affectionate and loving one day, then avoids you for several days afterward, there is a good chance that he is not ready for marriage.
No Interest in Your Family and Friends
A man who is interested in marrying is usually eager to win over your parents and friends. Forging strong bonds of affection is an important step in preparing the way for a successful marriage and blending the two families. If your boyfriend has been dating you for some time and has not even broached the subject of meeting your family or close friends, he is not likely to get down on one knee and surprise you with an engagement ring.

Volume 1 Number 1, 1993
The aim of this newsletter is to present a forum for practitioners and parents to discuss information, questions, concerns, opinions, and share their experiences.
SAIT was founded in St. Louis in January, 1992. Twenty-three practitioners, soon-to-be practitioners, and parents met during a conference on facilitated communication and auditory training to share their enthusiasm as well as concerns about the future of auditory training in the United States. These founding members met three different times during the two-day conference to discuss these issues, and concluded that an organization was much needed to help set policies, standards, and ethics policies for practitioners as well as to distribute objective information about this relatively new intervention. During the meetings, the founding members decided to change the name 'auditory training' to 'auditory integration training' or AIT. The members felt this name change was necessary since there is another form of treatment called 'auditory training' for people with hearing loss. The word 'integration' not only distinguishes AIT from AT, but acknowledges its relationship to sensory integration. (Thank you Dr. Rimland for this suggestion.) Rimland also nominated Dr. Stephen Edelson to be the president of SAIT, which was seconded; and he was subsequently elected; the elected co-vice-presidents were Sally and Walt Brockett, the elected secretary was Sabra Gelfond, and the elected treasurer was Lucinda Waddell.
The founding members in St. Louis also wrote a mission statement for SAIT: `The Society for Auditory Integration is dedicated to the enhancement of the quality of life for individuals with special needs through auditory integration training.'
After these January meetings in St. Louis, many of the founding members worked throughout the year on a set of guidelines, standards, and ethics policies; and in December, 1992, we felt ready to incorporate as a non-profit organization (501) (C) (6).
The first Board of Directors includes (in alphabetical order): Sally Brockett (practitioner, CT), Carol Cloud (parent, Idaho), Dr. Margaret Creedon (researcher/practitioner, Illinois), Monica Doben-Stevens (practitioner, Ohio), Lynda Huggens (parent, Louisiana), and Deborah Woodward (practitioner, North Carolina).
It is very important that the membership be active in determining SAIT's future policies. If you have any suggestions to further SAIT and/or would like to participate on a committee, please write to SAIT at 2207 B Portland Road, Newberg, OR 97132.
We hope this will pave the way for SAIT to arrange for individual liability coverage for its professional members. Edelson is now working closely with an insurance broker to obtain insurance coverage for SAIT's members.
Although this is an exciting time for everyone involved in this field, many people have been frustrated by the lack of communication between practitioners as well as some procedural inconsistencies across programs. SAIT was established to address these issues by establishing procedures for setting standards and ethics; and providing information about the current state of the art of AIT. Moreover, SAIT encourages researchers to study this relatively new form of treatment for autism and developmental disabilities.
Like all new organizations, SAIT needs your support and encouragement .
The focus of this newsletter is to provide information to AIT practitioners and parents. There are numerous questions and concerns; and we hope to provide a forum for these issues.
Please let us know if you have any suggestions you feel SAIT should address.
Again, welcome to SAIT.
Stephen Edelson, Ph.D. President
The conference will include talks by various practitioners on current procedural and research issues as they pertain to AIT. Results from the large research study being conducted in Oregon by Drs. Edelson and Rimland will also be presented in the evening session. The research examines many issues in the AIT process, such as the use of filters, comparison of the Audiokinetron with the Audio Tone/Enhancer Trainer (BGC), and changes in the audiogram.
There is no charge for members and a $10 charge for non-members. There will be a no-host dinner-break from 5:30 to 7:00 P.M.
The SAIT conference date is the day prior to the Autism Society of America (ASA) conference (July 14 to 17) in Toronto.
Please complete the form on the last page if you are planning to attend this one-day conference. We hope to see you there.
The Board feels that it is important for Professional members as well as non- practitioners, (Associate members), to be involved in the election process. Since the SAIT examination will not be administered until the fall, the Board decided to allow practitioners who have passed the initial review process to be able to vote for Board members. However, the letters of references for many of the AIT practitioners who have applied to SAIT are being sent to SAIT at a slow rate, and it was felt best to wait until more applications from practitioners are reviewed so practitioners can be well-represented in the voting process. (Practitioners were asked for three letters of references when applying for professional membership.)
The election ballots will be sent to SAIT members about August 1, 1993; and the deadline to receive the completed ballots is September 1. If you would like to nominate a practitioner, other professional, and/or parent to be on the Board of Directors, please send your nomination to: Board Nominations, SAIT, 2207 B Portland Road, Newberg, OR 97132. The deadline for nominations is July 15, 1993.
On the evening of the first day, many AIT practitioners gathered at dinner to share their enthusiasm as well as their concerns about SAIT. It was a very productive meeting, and there were many good ideas. Peter Stehli announced during the meeting that the Georgiana Organization will work together with SAIT.
Dr. Bettison is using the BGC Audio Tone/Enhancer Trainer, and Drs. Rimland and Edelson are consultants on this study.
If you are conducting an empirical study on the efficacy of AIT, please tell us about it.
According to Berard, AIT improves one's auditory sensory system. If a person wears headphones to listen to music after receiving AIT, a person's hearing may return to where it was prior to receiving AIT. Berard believes that it is acceptable to listen to spoken words at a low to moderate level using headphones.
Berard states that using headphones to listen to AIT music is therapeutic and is not harmful to the listener's hearing system.
Loud Concert Halls Post-AIT: A Matter of Concern?
There have been three reports of people who attended loud concerts after receiving AIT whose behavior regressed to what is was prior to AIT.
If you know of a similar case, please let us know so we can share this information. Send us as much documentation as possible, such as age of listener; environment, degree of sound sensitivity before AIT, after AIT, and after the loud sound exposure.
If there are other issues you would like to share with SAIT members, please write.
1. Dr. Berard tells us that AIT requires filtering certain peaks present in a person's audiogram. This kind of individualization precludes the use of standard tapes. In addition, after five hours of listening, one's hearing needs to be reassessed. If new peaks become evident, then audiotapes with new filter settings would need to be used.
2. A second reason was given by Bill Clark, the inventor of the BGC device. Audiocassette tape recorders/players have built-in circuits to minimize sound distortion, and these circuits would diminish the modulation that is essential to the AIT process.
These reports support Dr. Berard's principle that "hearing equals behavior." That is, the infection (or just fluid) interferes with the transmission of auditory signals, which in turn, affects the way the child behaves.
More importantly, it gives rise to concerns about the impact of ear infections on behavior, and the potential reversal of the benefits of AIT. If there is a relationship between ear infections and loss of AIT benefits, it becomes more important to learn what is causing the infections and to treat the cause in order to prevent future illness. In general, the present procedure is to simply diagnose and to treat the infection. However, the question arises: Does the infection cause auditory dysfunction and can it "undo" the AIT results? Research is needed in this area to reach a conclusion.
Meanwhile, what should parents do? If your child has a history of recurrent ear infections, you should learn about causes of infections and how to prevent them. An excellent resource is a book titled Childhood Ear Infections by Dr. Michael Schmidt. It can be ordered for $12.95 by calling 1-800-359-9051. Books by William Crook, such as The Yeast Connection, may also be helpful. If your child has improved after AIT and loses these gains following ear infections, the training can be repeated to correct auditory dysfunctions again.
Dr. Berard has recently stated that if a person with tubes has AIT, there may be some risk of an ear infection. This is only a theory and needs further investigation. At this time, it is recommended that AIT not be not done until the tubes come out and the ear drum is healed. Editor's Note: Antibiotics are frequently prescribed for viral infections such as ear infections. While many individuals appear to respond well to these drugs, many others do not. Two articles follow which detail some possible risks associated with antibiotic use.
Cantekin's paper, based on a study of the effects of amoxicillin treatment on secretory otitis media (painless accumulation of fluid in the middle ear, resulting from obstruction of the eustachian tube), was a dissenting opinion written after his co-researchers– who were funded by the pharmaceutical industry– had interpreted their data as favorable to amoxicillin, and had published their conclusions in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 1987. JAMA originally rejected Cantekin's dissenting paper, but — in a surprising turn-around — published it in 1991, saying that the journal had erred in rejecting it earlier.
Cantekin criticized the diagnostic and statistical methods used by his co- researchers, and said objective measures showed that at four-week follow-up, "only 30.7% of the children treated with amoxicillin or amoxicillin with decongestant – antihistamine had improved hearing, compared with 32.8% of those in the placebo group." Further, while fluid accumulation decreased in children treated with amoxicillin and decongestants, Cantekin et al. note, "four weeks after treatment … the recurrence of effusion in children treated with the antibiotic treatment was two to six times higher than in children treated with placebo." They add that side effects such as diarrhea, rashes, irritability or sedation were much more common among those receiving antibiotics (especially when combined with decongestants and antihistamines) than in the placebo group.
Cantekin et al. note that another large scale study found that the antibiotics Pediazole and cefaclor also were ineffective in treating secretory otitis media.
Cantekin notes in the June 1992 issue of JAMA that while his findings related only to non-acute otitis media, "several recent studies (Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Israeli, and multinational) show that antibiotic treatment for acute otitis media is not effective." In addition, he says, "the acute otitis media study conducted at the Otitis Media Research Center in Pittsburgh showed that amoxicillin was not effective in clearing severe episodes of acute otitis media."
In a letter in JAMA, John Wilson, Jr., says that "Cantekin confirm what many of us in primary care have observed: namely, that chronic and recurrent otitis media does not respond to antibiotics." He cites studies indicating that children with chronic secretory otitis media who were treated for food and inhalant allergies showed significant improvement, and suggests that "the common practice of prescribing antibiotics freely for children … be replaced by a more thoughtful approach that addresses and treats the initial environmental triggers causing this condition."
(This article was reprinted from the Autism Research Review International, 1992, Volume 6, Number 4, published by the Autism Research Institute, 4182 Adams Ave., San Diego, CA 92116.)
If a child is prescribed an antibiotic for an ear infection, parents may want to ask their physician, pharmacist, or use the Physicians Desk Reference to find out if the drug is ototoxic.
In November, 1990, I heard Ruth Sullivan speak; and she said that some very interesting research was being done on how persons with autism actually hear. In December, a family friend brought me an article in Reader's Digest called 'Fighting for Georgie.' The article was an excerpt from a soon-to-be published book by Annabel Stehli titled The Sound of a Miracle. The article read like fiction but curiosity led me to read the book. I even called Annabel on the telephone, and she put me in contact with other parents who had traveled to France to obtain AIT for their autistic children.
When Jon received AIT, I decided to keep a diary of any changes noted in his behavior. Since receiving AIT, the most significant change has been an overall calm in Jon's demeanor. His father and teacher both first noted this after speaking with him by telephone during the 10 days of listening sessions. Since receiving AIT, I have noticed many changes in his style of communication. Jon is not so anxious in his conversations, and he interrupts other's conversations less frequently. Jon completes sentences for others; before he did not seem to understand another person's thoughts well enough to do that! Previously, most of his conversation was echolalic and pertained to what he had just heard. He began to comment on things said an hour earlier.
Sounds that he previously did not like are now often amusing to him. Jon did not like to be near our dog and hated for him to bark. He now goes to the patio door and asks Spot to "Speak"! In the past, he would cover his ears and say "turn it off" when his choir teacher rewound a tape recorder used to record class practice. After AIT, Jon thought the high-pitched screech of the rewinding was amusing. His singing in choir is now in correct volume and mostly on key.
Some of the other changes I noticed in Jon are: less distracted by noise, less incessant talking, less pronoun reversals, responds more appropriately and more spontaneously, his thought processes appear to becoming clearer and more complicated, increased vocabulary, laughs more appropriately, and handles disappointment better.
Like many parents who pursue AIT for their child, I secretly prayed for a major miracle for my son as a result of the training. But as I told Lucinda Waddell before Jon ever received AIT, if it did nothing but increase his attention span so that he could learn better, I would consider it successful. AIT did not result in that prayed-for miracle, but it has made significant and positive changes in Jon's life. Would I do it again? You bet I would.
Dr. Guy Berard has, for some time, insisted that AIT not be given to children under 4 years of age. There is reason for this limit, since the very sensitive auditory system is not yet matured before age 4.
We asked Dr. Binet, the first person to offer AIT in North America, about this age issue. In general, he prefers seeing clients 4 years of age and older; however, he will give AIT to a younger child if his/her autism is getting worse, such as the case when a child appears to be withdrawing further.
There is much support for the effectiveness of early intervention on children with developmental disabilities; and some practitioners feel that AIT should be given to children as young as possible. However, it is not clear at this time whether AIT should be classified as a form of early intervention. Many young children around the country have received AIT, and some parents have reported positive findings; however, the long-term effects are not known at this time.
We are now contacting some of the top researchers who study auditory stimulation and its effects on development, and we are asking them for their opinion on this issue. Please let us hear from you about your experiences.

Good Morning and Happy First day of Spring!
I had a great weekend. I drove my parents to the airport which was super early but I was able to crawl back into bed at 3:30am. On Saturday we celebrated St. Patrick's day which some green food & beers. And on Sunday we painted the hallway, which was pretty laid back.
This year is going by so fast. I cannot believe it is the first day of spring. I'm glad winter is officially over, I'm excited for the warmer weather!
What I Used:
Base: Essie Full Steam Ahead
Flowers: Revlon Electric, Sinful Colors Let's Meet ad Wet'N'Wild Black Creme.
I free-handed the sunflowers using a small thin paint brush. I used the Revlon polish first then added a bit of sparkle with the Sinful Colors polish.
Thank you everyone for stopping by. I hope spring like weather is coming with the start of the season. Have a great week!

Almost forgot to post about what we made for Valentine's Day! The little guy was in a kids' made Valentine swap and made these super sweet valentines:
In exchange, he received valentines from five different kids from various parts of the country (all valentines were made with natural materials).
He also made a few little gifts, too. The heart hanging decorations were made from paper clay, using cookie cutters for the outside heart and star shapes, rubber stamps to create an image, then watercolors to add color.
For me, he made this super sweet Valentine of "footprints making a heart in the snow." We read the book Snowy Valentine and he was apparently quite taken with the ending where the bunny creates a heart shape in the snow as he is walking to find the perfect Valentine.
To finish off our Valentine crafts, we made a heart shaped beeswax candle and ornament.
It was all very lovely!

The back to school season is a busy one for teachers and parents alike. Whether you are a classroom teacher or working with young learners at home, these free back to school printables are a quick and simple, no prep way to have some fun learning those first days back!
They go along great with our huge back to school bundle!
Back to School Printables
Learning how to identify and spell their name is a hugely important skill for our young learners. This fun printable invites students to search for and color the apples that have letters found in their name. While they can surely use any color they want, it is fun to pick out some "apple" colors – we could add yellow too!
When learning the alphabet, it is important to make it fun! Spinner games are a hit and super easy to play. All you need is a pencil and a paperclip. In this spinner game, you spin the spinner, then find and color an apple with the matching letter.
Counting objects one at a time is something that also takes practice. Building up that one to one correspondence can be done in a lot of ways, and I recommend playing a lot of hands on counting games as well. This printable works well as a review and adds in some fine motor/pencil grip practice if they color the images.
Going along with counting objects one at a time is being able to identify numbers and know that they mean something. Knowing that a number represents a quantity is an important skill that goes beyond number identification. This printable invites students to read the numbers on the apple trees, then take it one step further by adding that many apples to the trees.

My clients have ranged from single men and women fresh out of college to young couples just starting out to families or individuals moving to or from other states to older couples looking to down size after all the children have left the nest. Whether you are buying or selling your home it can be very stressful. My goal is to take some of that stress from my clients. Making these major life changes is tough enough. I am available to my clients not just during business hours, but after the office is closed and even weekends if I am needed. I want my clients to know that they are not alone and I am there to help. I specialize in representing my clients in the purchase and sales of single-family residences in all price ranges. I am active in the cities of Jackson, Alamo, Bells, Medina, Humboldt, Maury City, Bemis, Henderson and Lexington. I keep record of all transactions in these areas, and I am a skillful negotiator with full knowledge of the market. To put it simply, I know how to get the job done! My designations include (CRS) Certified Residential Specialist, (ABR) Accredited Buyers Representative and (GRI) Graduate Realtors Institute. I am also a member of the Multi-Million Dollar Club, Platinum Club, RE/MAX 100% Club and 12 time Readers Choice award winner for Best Real Estate Agent.

FC: German food | Conrad Mervine 3B
1: Germany is located in Central Europe, stretching from the Alps, across the North European Plain to the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Germany has the second largest population in Europe and is seventh largest in area. Germany's climate is temperate and marine, with cool, cloudy, wet winters and summers and in the south occasional warm winds. Germany's cold winters and short summers led to many hearty dishes of pork, gravies, breads, potatoes, dumplings, sausages and their beloved "Senf" (mustard-hundreds of varieties of it).
2: In the flat terrain of northern Germany and especially in the eastern portions, cereals and sugar beets are grown. Elsewhere, on more hilly terrain, and even on mountainous land, farmers produce vegetables, milk, pork, or beef. Near almost all large cities you can find fruit orchards and vegetable farms. River valleys in southern and western Germany along the Rhine and the Main, are covered with vineyards. | Over 80 percent of Germany's land is used for agriculture and forestry. Chief agricultural products include milk, pork, beef, poultry, cereals, potatoes, wheat, barley, cabbages, and sugar beets. In some regions wine, fruits, and vegetables, and other horticultural products play an important role.
3: German beer is world-renowned and is produced mainly, but not exclusively, in Bavaria.
4: Germany is located in western Europe, bordering the North Sea between France and Poland. Germany is slightly smaller than the state of Montana, with a total area of 357,021 km sq (137,847 mi sq). Germany shares boundaries with Denmark and the Baltic Sea (north), Poland and the Czech Republic (east), Austria (southeast), Switzerland (south), France (southwest), Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands (west), and the North Sea (northwest). Germany's boundary length totals 6,010 km (3,734 mi), of which 2,389 km (1,484 mi) is coastline. Germany's capital city, Berlin, is located in the northeastern part of the country. The official language of Germany is Standard German, with over 95% of the country speaking Standard German or German dialects as their first language. This figure includes speakers of Northern Low Saxon, a recognized minority or regional language which is not considered separately from Standard German in statistics.
6: The history of Germany can be traced to the times when the nomadic tribes dominated the region of the present day Germany. The region, however, was never considered as a nation or kingdom till the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire. It was known as Germania, Holy Roman Empire, and Prussia, during the course of its evolution as a nation.
7: Popular Christmas Traditions: A common belief proclaims that on Christmas Eve wine can be tasted through the river waters, the animals start speaking, precious gems can be found from the mountains and the church bells can be heard only by those who have the purest of hearts. | There are many German etiquettes to follow when visiting Germany. Some of which are similar to ours. Some are as followed: . If you are invited to a German's house, bring a gift such as chocolates or flowers. . Yellow roses or tea roses are always well received. . Do not give red roses as they symbolize romantic intentions. . Do not give carnations as they symbolize mourning. . Do not give lilies or chrysanthemums as they are used at funerals. . If you bring wine, it should be imported, French or Italian. Giving German wines is viewed as meaning you do not think the host will serve a good quality wine.

16: Bay leaves have a savory, slightly bitter taste.Their fragrance is herbal and slightly floral. They are used both fresh and dried, although fresh bay leaves are hard to find. Bay leaves add depth and richness to foods. They are most often added to soups, stews, casseroles, roasts, and other long-cooking dishes. They are usually added whole, then removed before the dish is served. Bay leaves should be used sparingly as they are very potent. | Caraway is a member of the parsley family. Although they are called "seeds", caraway seeds are actually the small fruit of the caraway plant. They are sweet yet strong and have a taste similar to anise. Caraway seeds are most often added to cabbage dishes (especially Sauerkraut), sauces, quark, meat dishes, breads, and potato dishes. | Parsley leaves are dark green and are fresh, flavorful, and slightly bitter. There are two types of parsley. Flat leaf parsley has smoother, flatter leaves than the curly leaf parsley, which has more crinkled leaves. Flat leaf parsley has a more intense flavor.
17: Thyme leaves are elongated, oval, and dark green. Their stems are short, green, and woody. It is most often added to roasts and spicy meat dishes, as well as to soups and salads. | White pepper comes from the fully ripened peppercorn. White pepper is less hot and aromatic than black pepper. Pepper is added to almost every dish that also has salt, as the two seasonings compliment each other very well.

The British Columbia Produce Marketing Association Host a Spring Annual General Meeting and a Fall General Meeting.
Both General Meetings are often held at Burnaby's Executive Inn, where the central location is convenient to the majority of its members.
General Meeting, Fall
If the Spring meeting mainly pertains to local issues and items affecting the industry in BC, certainly the Fall Meeting provides a window into the world of produce on a national and international scale.
The highlight of this important get-together is the CPMA Chairman's Vancouver appearance on his cross Canada tour. The Chairman, in annual rotation from Quebec, Ontario, Calgary or Vancouver, updates the Association on the coming CPMA convention and on issues facing the other regions of the country. The CPMA President, Ron Lemaire, who is based in Ottawa, also takes advantage of this opportunity to provide the latest news regarding industry relations, changes, and advances dealing with the federal government. As well, updates on vital programs such as Mix It Up!, trade issues with the USA and other countries, and food safety give this meeting a can't-miss spot on your calendar.
Dinner Format, and is provided gratis by the BCPMA to its members
Both meetings offer BCPMA members important opportunities to bring forward questions, ideas and suggestions regarding all of the various activities of the Association. It is through the keen interest of its members, the generous support of its sponsors and the assistance of its hard working Advisors and volunteers that will continue to fuel the growth of the BC Produce Marketing Association.

Orania | Homeland for Whites in South Africa
Comments "Orania | Homeland for Whites in South Africa":
Author: Shasholike if you want this separation to happen
Author: Vunrishttps://swebbtv.se/images/sidbilder/FNs_Global_Compact_p%C3%A5_svenska-_Swebbtv_C.pdf
Author: NelkreeThis is beautiful. I have no doubt that this community will thrive as any other white society in history. I only pray for as small white bloodshed as possible in the coming war in SA.
Author: VudosidaLauren Southern did a little segment about this town in her movie Farmlands
Author: Shashicagehttps://refugeesmigrants.un.org/sites/default/files/180713_agreed_outcome_global_compact_for_migration.pdf
Author: MalazragoreLove the Orania idea.
Author: KajijarMinority government was not unsustainable. It was the western world that forced its downfall, just like it forced Germany into expansionism - by trade boycuts. Liberals and communists would go to shopkeepers telling them not to sell South African products in the beginning, by the end, it was governments and nations that wanted white South Africans to live in the rape and murder capital of the world.
Author: KekThe place is isolated and surrounded by hostile populations. It would be very difficult to supply this isolated outpost in case of war. Also, it would be almost impossible to evacuate the civilians. The town is not fortified and the population is not large enough to raise a substantial defense force or to establish a defense perimeter. Also, most people live on farms, which is even worse. Te entire community is small, but it covers a huge area, which makes them more vulnerable than people in Gauteng they mentioned. It would be great if the town had at least an airport and if there were obstacles and road blocks. A location near the coast or even in south Namibia would be a better choice.
Author: TebeiA town in South Africa where all the infrastructure works! Prime target for expropriation without compensation.
Author: GorgVery nice and informative video. But this needs to be said... the former leaders of Apartheid-era South Africa were incredibly short sighted and ignorant. They should've known that white minority rule was not gonna last forever. They should've laid the ground works for a white majority state somewhere in South Africa (preferably along the coasts to have sea port and be able to trade and have foreign investments). They could've done so sometime between the 1950's and 1960's. While Orania seems to be just doing that, it seems to be too little too late, as the white population is greatly divided (ideologically) and scattered. With those who are poor unable to make their way to Orania, and those who are rich who don't give a damn.
Author: TojallPlease keep it White, and also remember that Cultural Marxism is seeping slowly into a society. First there's this brown guy who can play soccer, and hey, he's one of us! Then there is this gay couple who want to get married, and of course they should! Then you fast forward 30 years and your nation is in ruin.
Author: SamumOrania is just beautiful, congratulations from argentina
Author: GroktilarTack Jonas återigen för grymt reportage! Fortsätt gör din grej det blir bara bättre och bättre! Swishar ett bidrag som tack för din uppoffring!
Author: NikinosI still would like to see this Orania eventually grow and become an independent and self sufficient state. But it will require lots of work and more people (anywhere from 10,000-100,000 would be great). But the question also would be, is it possible for them to maintain their racial and cultural identity long term? What Orania is aiming for can easily be ruined the moment white LIBERALS hijack the leadership. So please, don't ever let white liberals into your land. They have ruined not only South Africa, but much of the Western world. So stay strong, vigilant, and don't leftist liberal ideology (like feminism, same sex, transex crap, etc...) poison your children's minds.
Author: DaijasIt's alright to be white... but apparently --- the devil hates us.
Author: TautaurIt is not just for "kill". Blacks have BIG mouths, they cannot fight like men with their fists. The Boer will not stand back. The school std in Orania is acceptable, its definitely not a 30 percent pass rate.
Author: DigoreAn Afrikaans government like Orania should just secede and govern the western and northern cape territories of SA. South Africa (Afrikaans' homeland) would be in a much better shape if this were to happen.
Author: GoltigisBless Oranje and its people.
Author: Mazulmaranthere is a reason tribes living near megalithic sites are not capable of building anything like those megaliths, its probably because they are the invaders that exterminated the megalith builders.
Author: TojakoraWell produced and informative documentary. Thank you.
Author: GardazahnBasically, it shows that Verwoerd correctly assessed the situation that the only way South Africa could co-exist is through separate development. Cape secession is the only answer.
Author: GalkisThank you for this video. I visited Orania last year and it felt like how SA was when I was a child -SAFE. It is a wonderful place and God bless them. One-day I hope to live there
Author: TumDetta är vad "Det fria Sverige" kan bli i framtiden. Ett eget samhälle för Svenskar då den demografiska utvecklingen i landet är som ett svart avgrundsdjupt hål, som det ser ut just nu i alla fall och med tanke på Sveriges undertecknande av Global Compact.
Author: BashakarThis is what "Det fria Sverige" can be in the future. A separate society for Swedes, as the demographic development in the country is like a black abyss, as it looks right now and considering Sweden's signing the Global Compact.
Author: ZusarOur family arrived almost 3 months ago, it's a paradise. Our quality of life is a hundred times better than in Pretoria. Thank you for the positive approach of this documentary.
Author: GardalkisThis seems to be the only peaceful solution for whites. Move to your own area. Build your numbers and declare independence. They will have to build a substantial military because once the Bantu destroy the rest of SA they will make a try for the white only areas.
