This wickedly clever hoax "documentary" is a highly amusing satire on the recent spate of historical documentaries made to celebrate the centenary of cinema. Top Kiwi director Peter Jackson ("Heavenly Creatures") and film critic Costa Botes collaborated on this lavishly produced labor of love, which provoked complaints from deceived viewers when it aired on NZ television late last year. Now available on 35mm, it's a must for film fests, TV programmers and audiences interested in film history.The film deals with the career of a supposedly forgotten pioneer of international cinema, Colin McKenzie, who was allegedly born in rural New Zealand in 1888. McKenzie had been completely forgotten until decomposing reels of his films were discovered in a shed in the garden of Hannah McKenzie, his second wife, who happened to be a neighbor of Jackson's parents. According to the film, McKenzie became fascinated with all things mechanical at an early age and invented a motion picture camera in 1900 when he was 12; unlike other early cameras, this one was mechanized by being attached first to a bicycle and later to a steam engine, allowing for trailblazing tracking shots. McKenzie produced his own film stock from raw eggs; it evidently took 12 eggs to produce one minute of film. He filmed the first flight of a New Zealand aviator who, his footage now reveals, preceded the Wright Brothers. In 1908, he made an 84-minute feature, "The Warrior Season," which employed a primitive soundtrack; unfortunately, the actors were Chinese, and McKenzie had not invented subtitles, so the film was not a success. In 1911, McKenzie discovered a way to make color film stock from a type of berry found only on one of the Tahitian islands. He shot some test footage there , but some dusky, topless Tahitian maidens appeared unexpectedly in front of the camera, and when McKenzie returned to Kiwiland, he and his brother, Brooke, were convicted of exhibiting a lewd document and sentenced to six months' hard labor. McKenzie then worked on a series of slapstick comedies with a vaudeville comedian known as Stan the Man; the pair invented a type of violent slapstick involving custard pies, later copied by Mack Sennett and others. There was more trouble when Stan, who liked to attack passersby with his pies, inadvertently assaulted New Zealand's prime minister, who was not amused. McKenzie's greatest achievement was the epic "Salome," which was filmed on and off over a number of years in a remote location, where a vast set was built for large-scale battle scenes. When money ran out, funding was provided by the new Soviet government, on condition some ideological changes were made to the script. After years of frustration and heartache, McKenzie went to Spain in 1936 to cover the Civil War and managed to film his own death in 1937. McKenzie's story unfolds, in this lavishly produced effort, with total conviction. The supposedly aged film material has been created with tremendous skill and care. Footage supposedly affected by nitrate decomposition looks authentic, and scenes from "Salome" look as if they could have been made at about the time of "Intolerance"; acting styles, color tinting, use of circular frames and irises, and even the intertitles are astonishingly close to the real thing. It looks as though hundreds of extras were used during the staging of this fake footage. Several well-known personalities appear in the film. Leonard Maltin enthusiastically, and with a commendably straight face, explains McKenzie's historical importance. Harvey Weinstein lauds "Salome" as "the greatest film discovery of the last 50 years"; actor Sam Neill adds authenticity commenting on McKenzie's importance to NZ film history. The film has been made in the style of a British documentary in the Kevin Brownlow tradition, complete with helpful narration (spoken by Jeffrey Thomas.) Pic identifies none of the actors who appear in "Forgotten Silver," not even the actor who plays the mythical McKenzie, but he certainly looks the part. This exceptionally elaborate hoax will provide plenty of appreciative chuckles, especially from film buffs. Yet McKenzie's story is surprisingly tragic, giving the film a somber edge. Produced in the $ 500,000 range, this little gem is a remarkable film in its own right.

Top searches Portugal and Madeira
Portugal has a wide variety of landscapes, from the mountainous north east to the flatter areas near the coast and in the south. The continental part of the country, south west of the Iberian Peninsula, occupies a relatively small area. Generally speaking, the altitude decreases from the Spanish border towards the Atlantic and from north to south; the Tagus (Tejo) divides a mountainous region in the north from an area of plateaux and plains in the south. The archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores out in the Atlantic are a distant volcanic playground, enriched by a variety of flowers, geology and history.
Geological formation
In the Primary Era the north of Portugal was affected by Hercynian folding which resulted in the emergence of hard granite and shale mountain ranges. These were worn down in the Secondary Era to form a vast plateau out of which rose erosion resistant heights such as the Serra de São Mamede. In the Tertiary Era, the raising of the Alps and Pyrenean folding led to a brutal upheaval of the plateau, dislocating it into a series of small massifs such as the Serra do Marão and Serra da Estrela. The massifs were separated by fissures near which emerged thermal and mineral springs and, especially in the north, metal deposits. The upheavals were accompanied in some cases by eruptions of a volcanic nature which formed ranges such as the Serra de Sintra and Serra de Monchique. It was at this point that the Tagus and Sado basins were formed and the coastal plains folded into the low ranges of the Serra de Aire, Serra do Caldeirão and Serra da Arrábida. This zone of faults in the earth's crust is still subject to geological disturbance as shown in the earthquake which destroyed Lisbon in 1755 and even more recent tremors.
The coastline became less indented in the Quaternary Era through erosion of the Estremadura and Alentejo cliffs and alluvial accumulation in the Aveiro and Sines areas.
The Cantabrian Cordillera extends westwards into Portugal, north of the Douro, where it takes the form of massive mountain ranges separated by heavily eroded valleys.
Between the Douro and the Tagus, the Castilian sierras extend into Portugal as particularly high relief. Monte da Torre in the Serra da Estrela is Portugal's highest mainland peak (1 993m/6 539ft). The Mondego and Zêzere valleys surround the ridge. South of the Tagus lies a plateau that drops towards the sea. Its vast horizons are barely interrupted by the minor rises of the Serra de Monchique and Serra do Caldeirão.
The 837km/520mi of coast offer incredible variety, with beaches of fine sand sheltered by rock cliffs, creeks, and promontories such as Cabo Carvoeiro, Cabo Espichel and Cabo de São Vicente. Wide estuaries are occupied by the country's main ports: Oporto on the Douro, Lisbon on the Tagus and Setúbal on the Sado. Fishing harbours like Portimão have developed in bays, or, as with Peniche and Lagos, in the protection of headlands. However, most of the coast consists of flat sandy areas sometimes lined by offshore bars as in the eastern offshore Algarve and along Ria de Aveiro.
Regions and landscape
The areas described below correspond to the old historical provinces which closely reflect the country's natural regions. Portugal's present administrative divisions, known as districts, are also given.
The North
The old provinces of the Minho and Douro are green and heavily cultivated while the inland regions of Trás-os-Montes, Beira Alta and Beira Baixa are bleaker and drier.
The Minho (Districts: Braga and Viana do Castelo) and the Douro (District: Porto)
The region is part of the tourist area around Oporto and Northern Portugal. The greater part of the Minho and Douro provinces consists of granite hills covered with dense vegetation. The exceptions to these are the bare summits of the Serra do Gerês, Serra do Soajo and Serra do Marão, which make up the Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês, and are strewn with rocky scree. The fields, enclosed by hedges and climbing vines, sometimes produce two crops a year. Vineyards, orchards and meadows contribute to the rural economy. Olive, apple and sometimes orange trees grow on the sunniest slopes. Main roads tend to follow lush river valleys like those of the Lima and the Vez. The region, with Porto (in Portuguese, Oporto) as capital, is an active one and has more than a quarter of Portugal's population.
Trás-os-Montes (Districts: Bragança and Vila Real)
Trás-os-Montes means "beyond the mountains". True to its name, this province of high plateaux relieved by rocky crests and deeply cut valleys, stretches out beyond the Serra da Marão and Serra do Gerês. The moorland plateaux, dominated by bare summits and covered with stunted vegetation, are used for sheep grazing. Remote villages merge into the landscape. The more populous river basins around Chaves, Mirandela and Bragança, with their flourishing fruit trees, vines, maize and vegetables, seem like oases in the bleak countryside.
The Alto Douro region in the south contrasts with the rest of the province by its relative fertility. The edges of the plateaux and the slopes down to the Douro and the Tua have been terraced so that olive, fig and almond trees can be grown, and particularly the famous vine that produces the grapes for port wine and vinho verde.
The Beira Alta (Districts: Guarda and Viseu) and Beira Baixa (District: Castelo Branco)
This region, the most mountainous in Portugal, is geographically a westward extension of the Spanish Cordillera Central. The landscape consists of a succession of raised rock masses and down-faulted basins. The mountains, of which the principal ranges are the Serra da Estrela and Serra da Lousã, have thickly wooded slopes crowned with rocky summits. Occasional reservoirs fill the sites of ancient glaciary corries or gorges hollowed out of the quartz.
The greater part of the population lives in the Mondego and Zêzere valleys. The Mondego valley, a vast eroded corridor and a main communications route, is rich arable land; with vines extending up hillsides in the vineyards of the Dâo region. The Upper Zêzere valley, known as the Cova da Beira, specialises more in livestock, wheras the main town, Covilhã, has an important wool industry.
The Centre
The Beira Littoral (Districts: Coimbra and Aveiro)
This low lying region cut by many water courses corresponds approximately to the lower valleys of the Vouga, the Mondego and the Lis. There are rice fields in the irrigated areas around Soure and Aveiro. The coast consists of long straight beaches and sand dunes anchored by vast pinewoods such as Pinhal de Leiria and Pinhal do Urso, while at Aveiro, the ria or lagoon provides an original touch to the scenery. Inland, the cottage gardens of wheat and maize are bordered by orchards and vines. There are some beautiful forests, including Mata do Buçaco. The region's two main centres are Coimbra with its famous university and Aveiro with its ria and salt-pans.
Estremadura (Districts: Leiria, Lisboa and Setúbal)
In the past, this was the southern limit of the lands reconquered from the Moors, hence the name Estremadura which means extremity. Today, the region, which includes the Lisbon area, contains a third of the country's population.
Between Nazaré and Setúbal the countryside is gently undulating. Villages of single storey houses are surrounded by fields of wheat and maize. Olives, vines and fruit trees grow between clumps of pine and eucalyptus.
Along the coast, where tall cliffs and sandy beaches alternate, there are many fishing villages. The Serra de Sintra is a pleasant wooded range near Lisbon, while the Serra da Arrábida, south of the Tagus, provides shelter for small seaside resorts.
The region's activities are centred on Lisbon, the political, administrative, financial and commercial capital.
The Ribatejo (District: Santarém)
The Riba do Tejo, or banks of the Tagus, is an alluvial plain formed in the Tertiary and Quaternary Eras. On the hills along the north bank farmers cultivate olives, vines and vegetables. The terraces along the south bank grow wheat and olives.
The plain is covered with rice fields, market gardens and acres of grassland for rearing horses and fighting bulls. The region, with its main centre in Santarém, is renowned for its Portuguese-style bullfights known as touradas .
The South
The Alentejo (Districts: Beja, Évora and Portalegre)
The Alentejo, meaning beyond the Tagus (Além Tejo) , covers nearly a third of Portugal. It is a vast flat plain, except for the Serra de São Mamede. There is almost no natural vegetation. However, in spite of the difficulties of irrigation, the land is seldom left fallow. The Alentejo, Portugal's granary, is also the region of the cork oak, the ilex (holm oak) and the olive tree; in addition plums are grown around Vendas Novas and Elvas, while sheep and herds of black pigs are still reared on the poorer land. The vast stretches of open countryside dotted with old villages make this one of Portugal's more attractive regions.
Traditionally, the region has been one of huge estates centred on a monte or large remote whitewashed farmhouse, built on a rise. The other local inhabitants live in villages of low houses with big chimneys. The situation changed after the Carnation Revolution when the land reform of July 1975 split up the estates into smaller co-operatives . As this has not been very successful, there has been a return to medium and large scale properties.
The coast is generally uninviting although several seaside resorts are beginning to develop. There are few harbours apart from Sines, which is well-equipped.
There are no large towns; Evora with its 35 000 inhabitants acts as the regional capital but lives mainly from tourism.
The Algarve (District: Faro)
Portugal's southernmost province takes its name from the Arabic El Gharb meaning "west" for this was in fact the most westerly region conquered by the Moors. The Algarve, separated from the Alentejo by shale hills, is like a garden: flowers grow alongside crops and beneath fruit trees, allowing one to see geraniums, camellias and oleanders, cotton, rice and sugar cane as well as carobs, figs and almonds. Many cottage gardens are surrounded by hedges of aloes (agaves). The villages have brightly whitewashed houses with decorative chimneys. To the west rises a mountain range of volcanic rock, the Serra de Monchique, covered in lush vegetation. The coast is very sandy. The Sotavento stretch east of Faro is protected by offshore sandbanks, while the Barlavento section to the west consists of beaches backed by high cliffs which form an impressive promontory at Cabo de São Vicente.
Over the last few years the Algarve has undergone extensive tourist development, sometimes to the detriment of traditional activities such as fishing, canning, horticulture and the cork industry. Most of the small fishing villages have become vast seaside resorts. The main towns are Faro, Lagos and Portimão.
Parks and reserves
There are several conservation areas in Portugal to protect the beauty of the landscape and local flora and fauna.
National Park
Portugal's only national park is that of Peneda-Gerês (72 000ha/ 177 919 acres) in the north.
Nature reserves
Among Portugal's specially protected areas are the nature reserves of Montesinho near Bragança , Douro Internacional in a grandiose setting of natural beauty, Alvão near Vila Real, and Serra da Estrela . Near Fátima are the nature reserves of Serra de Aire and Serra dos Candeeiros , which form a beautiful limestone landscape with many caves, Sintra-Cascais , nestled between the ocean and surrounding forest, Serra da Arrábida , Serra de São Mamede , the Guadiana valley alongside the river of the same name, Sudoeste Alentejano and Costa Vicentina , and Ria Formosa (18 400ha/45 468 acres), an ecosystem which is home to a variety of rare sea birds . All these nature reserves are in mountainous regions with the exception of the last two, situated in the Algarve, where the aim is to protect coastal areas from the harm caused by mass tourism and the rapid erosion of this coastline.
Conservation areas
Many areas have been singled out for the protection of their flora and fauna. Among them are mountainous regions like Serra de Malcata , swamps such as Paúl de Arzila and Paúl do Boquilobo and river estuaries which have a particularly rich birdlife, including the Tagus estuary , the Sado estuary and Sapal de Castro Marim-Vila Real de Santo António in the Guadiana estuary. Dune areas, including the São Jacinto dunes in Ria de Aveiro and those on the Berlenga islands off the coast of Peniche, have also been designated as conservation areas . Most of the beauty spots in Madeira and the Azores are now classified as conservation areas.
Protected landscapes
Some of Portugal's coastal areas have been declared protected landscapes to prevent uncontrolled building development. They include Esposende (440ha/1 087 acres) and the Costa da Caparica as well as a number of other listed sites around the country.
The diversity of plants in Portugal is a visual reminder of the contrasts in climate and types of soil found here.
The robur and tauzin oak , together with chestnuts , birches and maples, grow on the wet peaks over 500m/1 500ft. South of the Tagus and in the Upper Douro valley where summers are very dry, there are dense woods of ilex (holm oak) and cork oak , which grow beside heaths and moorlands sparsely covered with cistus, lavender, rosemary and thyme. Cork oaks are particularly abundant in the Alentejo. Portugal is the world's leading cork producer.
Eucalyptus mainly grows along the coast together with maritime pines and umbrella pines, which form vast forests beside the beaches near Leiria, Coimbra and Aveiro. Aleppo pines dominate in the Serra da Estrela. Eucalyptus and pines are being planted on ever-increasing areas of land.
Mediterranean plant species acclimatise well in the Algarve, where one may see aloes (agaves), as well as carob , almond , fig , orange and olive trees.

In the past two weeks, I have devoted most of my weekends to making new friends, reacquainting with old friends, and learning how to do church better (HINT: Based on my experience at these events, it appears to require a lot of dialogue, listening, singing, and eating).
Last weekend I attended the first ever Slow Church Conference hosted by the Englewood Christian Church in Indianapolis (April 3-5). This weekend, I served as a delegate for the Church of the Larger Fellowship to the first ever MidAmerica Regional Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations (April 11-12), a conference in four locations—Bloomington, IN—Topeka, KS—Wassau, WI—Ann Arbor, MI—linked via twitter and live streaming technology.
I learned valuable lessons at each event, with surprisingly similar messages resonating around the lunch table, in the hallways, and workshop rooms of each.
Here's just a few the questions still stirring things up for me:What would I learn about others and myself if I attended to both with more intention?
- How would my life be transformed if I quit spending my time or investing my time in things and people who matter to me and, rather, devote myself to them, being fully present to them?
- What spiritual practices am I willing to devote myself to in order to fulfill my role in reconciling and restoring all things (Missio Dei) from a perspective of abundance and abiding faith rather than an anxiety-ridden, often frenzied sense of urgency?
- How would our churches change if we adopted the prayer, "Spirit, run us into the people we wouldn't want to." (Willie Jennings)?
- Do I know my church's history? Why are we where we are? How did we arrive at this place? What implications does it have?What obligations do we have to the place in which we find ourselves?
- What changes must we make to live into the place we find ourselves?
- How would our response to mission change if we committed to being with people more than doing for people?
- Where can I go in the neighborhood to meet God today?
- What if changing the world really means changing our little corner of it through faithful presence?
- How do we do this all together, overcoming the terminal individualism characterized by our fragmented contemporary society?
Check out what others have said and let me know in the comments what is stirring for you?
We are lucky to have the audio of Willie Jennings' keynote address (and Q & A session) that set the tone of the Slow Church Conference Thursday evening as well as the Rev. Ron Robinson's summary of Dr. Jennings' keynote posted to Facebook. Thank you to Chris Smith and the folks who got the audio up as well as to Ron Robinson for generously sharing his thoughts on this vital topic.
I live tweeted most of my notes, so I put together a story on Storify comprised of tweets from both conferences for folks to check out at the link above or embedded below.

It only takes three words for this museum exhibit to conjure up a whole world: "Bond. James Bond." Few artists have this kind of name recognition, let alone fictional characters. If the longevity of James Bond proves anything, it's the way a true pop culture icon not only captures the public's imagination, but also keeps us coming back for more.
The particular genius of the Bond series is the central character's ability to adapt to changing times (not to mention different actors) while remaining essentially the same.
It's up to the keepers of Bond's cinematic flame -- EON Productions, the company formed by producers Harry Saltzman and Albert Romolo "Cubby" Broccoli in 1961, and MGM, the long-time distributor of the Bond films, to keep the fire stoked.
Bond. James Bond, now on display at The Henry Ford Museum in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Mich., is an homage to Bondage, organized by England's National Museum of Photography, Film & Television along with EON. It's also priceless publicity for the veteran spy, unless the idea of a museum exhibition is too old-fashioned for a character desperate to be perceived as cutting-edge.
When Saltzman and Broccoli joined forces to bring author Ian Fleming's immensely popular James Bond spy novels to the screen, they never imagined their creation would take on its own life, or wind up behind a glass case.
The Bond formula, perfected over the course of 20 films, is a heady blend of sex and violence, beautiful women and dastardly villains, outrageous gadgets and outlandish stunts. These films are created as pure escapist entertainment, yet each manages to be solidly grounded in the attitudes, fears and hopes of its time.
Die Another Day (2002), the most recent of the Bond movies, was in production when the Bond. James Bond exhibit was being put together (the Motor City stop, open through Dec. 31, features three cars from the film). Surprisingly, the film and the exhibition share a common attitude towards the Bond legacy -- referential and innovative, reverential and cheeky.
Walking through Bond. James Bond is like stumbling into Q's secret storehouse, just as the current 007 (Pierce Brosnan) does in Die Another Day.
That scene, full of sly humor, finds Brosnan admiring objects from Bond's past exploits. Not surprisingly, these items also appear in the exhibit: the flick-knife shoes worn by Rosa Klebb in From Russia With Love, Bond's jetpack from Thunderball and the alligator submarine of Octopussy.
The fact that James Bond is the subject of a major museum retrospective raises a number of questions about the role of these once toney institutions. This year alone, Detroit has hosted exhibits featuring Titanic artifacts and the social/cultural legacy of Bruce Springsteen. Should pop culture be afforded this much attention? The administrative staff at the Henry Ford Museum thinks so.
Billing itself as "America's greatest history attraction," the museum is located in the heart of the massive Ford Motor Company complex, although it's a separate, nonprofit entity. Along with the newly restored Greenfield Village, a sprawling re-creation of the kind of provincial, rural America, which Ford's own Model T would forever alter, The Henry Ford Museum (www.thehenryford.org) is a Smithsonian-style collection of Americana. Here, education and entertainment happily coexist and the American character is explored by observing the objects that shaped our particular consciousness.
At the Henry Ford Museum, you'll find objects like the fantastical Oscar Meyer Weinermobile, an example of advertising and automotive design at its most whimsical and inventive. In sharp contrast is the fully restored Montgomery, Ala., bus on which Rosa Parks refused to relinquish her seat, the event that triggered the 1955 bus boycott which became a touchstone in the Civil Rights movement. Then there's R. Buckminster Fuller's groundbreaking Dymaxion House, a circular, aluminum-sheathed marvel created as a model of compact, affordable, environmentally conscious post-war housing. Fuller's vision for humanistic design for the masses never made it past the prototype phase. Fleming's creation, 007, on the other hand, became a global phenomenon.
Happily, the creators of Bond. James Bond offer more than a wax statue of 007 under glass. They effectively display sketches of set designs and detailed storyboards to illustrate the preparation needed for these massive productions. Three galleries put visitors into Bond's shoes. There's a detailed re-creation of M's wood-paneled office and a nuclear reactor control room, which noisily simulates a meltdown. More adventurous visitors can climb a piece of the Golden Gate Bridge to simulate the climax of the 1985 film A View to a Kill.
But what makes Bond. James Bond a truly 21st-century exhibit is the show's interactive element. The exhibition's entrance tunnel echoes the famous gun-barrel opening of the films and is flanked by a replica of the graffiti-coated Berlin Wall. Cold War newsreel footage is projected on the wall, putting the creation of the quintessentially 20th-century James Bond in historical context.
Before entering the tunnel, each visitor is issued a personal spy card, a sliver of plastic that looks like a simple credit card with a magnetic stripe. All spies-to-be can swipe their cards and test their Bond knowledge on touch-screen kiosks scattered throughout the exhibit. The card reveals their MI6 rating at the show's end and grants the visitor special access later to the "classified" section of www.jamesbondexhibition.com, a site created to complement the exhibit. This component of the experience shows what the keepers of the Bond legacy have wisely learned: In our information age, a movie is just not enough.
Movie tie-ins have always been a forte of the Bond series, but the extras audiences now demand is information. In addition to this exhibit, EON Productions maintains a detailed history of the Bond films and their spin-offs (including merchandise and gaming software, like the forthcoming James Bond 007: Everything Or Nothing) on their Web site, www.007.com.
MGM, in addition to being the Hollywood provider of new Bond movies, controls the Bond library (www.jamesbond.com). MGM Home Entertainment, the largest provider of theatrical catalogue releases on DVD, has seen to it that Bond films have kept up with the times. Their initial Bond DVDs were bare bones, but special editions with commentary tracks and tailor-made documentaries soon followed.
What's interesting about MGM's approach is that while they give individual attention to each Bond title, they also see the series as a whole.
The first seven Bond DVD set came out last fall. Scattered throughout the DVDs are documentaries about Ian Fleming, Cubby Broccoli and other essential creators of the Bond mystique. Only true completists would have everything, and that's the point behind their box sets. The black sheep Bond film, Casino Royale (1967), isn't included, but it did make it to MGM DVD last October, with the 1954 television production as an extra.
Now MGM has announced that the remainder of the Bond titles will arrive in two new box sets available on Nov. 18, and then go into a moratorium. This is the same device Disney has employed to spurt sales: After a certain date (for Bond films, it's Jan. 19, 2004), these library titles will no longer be available from the studio.
It's a bold move for MGM, but they're looking forward. The exception to this forced obsolescence is Die Another Day, their first two-disc Bond release, which contains a host of extras (including DVD-ROM/internet content) and showcases how this Cold War dinosaur is being reinvented for the digital age.
Today, after four decades of being shaken and stirred, the resilient Bond looks no worse for the wear. Even in our volatile world, few things are more certain than the promise placed at the end of every film: James Bond will return. Who knew that reliability would become Bond's greatest asset of all?

The Prisoners' Rights Program works to improve conditions in Texas prisons and jails through litigation and advocacy. Over 200,000 people are incarcerated in Texas on any given day, and most do not have any access to attorneys. Prisoners tell TCRP horrific stories of wrongful deaths, denial of medical care, violations of due process, and excessive force every day.
TCRP only has the resources to represent less than one percent of the hundreds of prisoners who contact us each year for help. The Prisoners' Rights Program concentrates on cases that will have broad impact by changing a policy or creating other systemic relief.
Success Stories
"You handled everything so wonderful. You was even able to sooth my broken heart. May God bless you." – Former client whose daughter committed suicide in county jail.
Represented four children who were physically and sexually abused in the Texas Youth Commission in a suit where TYC paid clients $625,000 and agreed to make extensive changes to facilities outlined in a nine page document;
Filed suit on behalf of a magazine publisher in a suit where a large county jail banned inmates from receiving magazine Prison Legal News, forcing the jail to change its policy;
A mentally ill man committed suicide in a county jail after he was arrested for threatening to kill himself. The Prisoners' Rights Program won a substantial monetary settlement for his surviving family and required the jail's policies and training undergo a review by an independent expert;
A seriously mentally ill immigrant from Iran was arrested following a misunderstanding at a convenience store. During the months he spent in jail, he was denied treatment for his mental illness, and ultimately assaulted by two jail guards who punched him in the face and shaved off the beard he was growing for religious reasons. The Prisoners' Rights Program won an $80,000 settlement;
An African-American prisoner was shocked in the back with a cattle prod by a guard yelling racial epithets. TCRP secured a settlement favorable to the client;
A prisoner suffered a fatal asthma attack while prison guards mocked him rather than summon medical attention. TCRP won a settlement favorable to his brother and grandmother.
In most cases, before TCRP can provide a prisoner legal assistance, the prisoner must use the grievance process for the facility they are incarcerated in to comply with the Prison Litigation Reform Act. Though many grievance systems are ineffective, an inmate must at least try to resolve a problem through the grievance process in most cases before legal action can be taken. Before contacting TCRP, make sure to submit grievances that comply with the prison or jail's policies, and file any required appeals.
For inmates in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice: complete a Step 1 and Step 2 grievance, being careful to follow TDCJ's grievance rules. Only address the issue you want assistance with, as each grievance can only address one issue. Make sure to file your grievance within 15 days of the event you are complaining about, or as soon as possible. Consult your TDCJ Offender Handbook for more information about how to file a grievance.
Family of TDCJ inmates can also contact TDCJ's Ombudsman. Speaking with the Ombudsman does not exhaust administrative remedies under the PLRA. If you wish to take legal action, you must also make sure Step 1 and Step 2 grievances have properly been filed in most cases.
For inmates in county jails: Every county jail in Texas has different grievance procedures. Knowing the procedures is important because an inmate cannot file a lawsuit challenging jail conditions without first filing grievances. Through open records requests, TCRP has obtained grievance policies and procedures for various county jails around the state. We are making the policies available on this website. We have also re-written the policies into easy-to-read step-by-step instructions. The step-by-step instructions on how to file grievances are available here:

All county jails are inspected annually by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. To report a problem to the Commission, you can complete an online form here. Contacting the Commission does not exhaust administrative remedies under the PLRA. If you wish to take legal action, you must also make sure to follow the applicable policies in jail in most cases.
For inmates in the Texas Youth Commission: there are several options to file a grievance.
For children in TYC custody, grievance forms are available from the grievance clerk on each dorm. Request a form, complete it and place it in the secure drop box on the dorm. TYC has 15 days to respond to the grievance
For parents, guardians and other youth advocates: grievances can be submitted to TYC's Incident Reporting Center.
If TYC does not satisfactorily respond to the grievance within 15 business days, the grievance must be appealed. Ask the individual facility who grievance appeals should be addressed to. If the appeal does not resolve the problem within 15 business days, another appeal must be filed with TYC's executive director at TYC's central office.
For more information about TYC's process, see TYC's website.
Children, family and youth advocates: can also contact the Office of the Independent Ombudsman, an independent watchdog agency supervising TYC. Speaking with the Ombudsman does not exhaust administrative remedies under the PLRA.
If you wish to take legal action, you must also make sure the above described grievance procedures have been completed in most cases.

A Butte High football player plans to honor his friend and former teammate this Friday.
Bo Taylor, a former Butte High School Bulldogs football player, died last week in a construction accident in Idaho. Taylor and another construction worker were overcome by toxic fumes and died while working in a sewer system in Bear Lake County.
Butte's football team practices for Friday's big game against Helena Capital, but the loss of a friend and former teammate is on one senior's mind in particular.
"He's just a kid who would always light up the room with stupid remarks, funny remarks, he'd always find a way to make people laugh," said Dalton Daum.
Daum said he and Taylor knew each other when they were younger but their friendship really grew on the football and track fields.
"He was a warrior; Coach told him to play a position and he'd play it no matter what. He was one of the hardest working kids on our team," said Daum.
Daum showed us Taylor's old high school football jersey, No. 35. It's the same number he plans to wear at Friday's football game.
"I have to go out there and play my heart out for him," said Daum. "He'd love it, so I'm pretty excited."
Daum won't be the only one honoring Taylor.
"Each week, whoever plays like Bo did, who plays with passion, who plays with energy, and emotion and everything, the guy that most replicates what Bo was like will be the guy that wears the jersey that week," said head football coach Arie Grey.
For Grey, it's about bringing the team together to make sure Taylor is not forgotten.
"Always had a smile on his face, always was excited to be out there." said Grey. "Just great energy, just the ultimate team player, just a tremendous young man and he's definitely going to be missed."
And Grey said when this season is over, the team plans to retire the No. 35 jersey.
"We'll put it in the coaches' office with a memorial with Bo on there," said Grey. "And basically what we'll do is while I'm here, no one will wear number 35."
But until then, Grey said Daum deserves to be the first to wear the jersey after playing as tough as his friend last week.
"For him to get the opportunity, there's no doubt in my mind that Dalton will go out there and make Bo proud," said Grey.
"I'm sure he'll be right down there on the field with me," said Daum.
Funeral services will be on Thursday in Blackfoot, Idaho.

I'v seen the movie's and I'm looking very much forward for the game.
However, in one of the movies was shown the attack on the Monte Cassino. But I didn't notice any troops of polish origin (or indian ghurks either)...
Could any one do any thing about that? Polish troops took great casualtis during the attack, especially polish tank division, engineers and infantry troops. It would be really nice of the programers to include such information in the game (more than the standard date & result info).
It would be also a nice idea to create sub profiles for each of the sides, for eg. the Reich would divide in to Germans, Italians, Japan, Vichi troops (which fought with the US during Torch operation, and whos navy was a grat use for the Reich) and the Alliance would divide in to Russia, US, England, Poland (which was the 4th fighting force at the side of the alliance according to Norman Davis and many other historicians).
Another thing that crossed my mind, is the guerilla tacits, which would suit this game perfectly (ambushes from forests, destruction of supply lines, railroad tracks, bases and so on). It would be really nice to include episodes about Polish, Jugoslavian and French resistence during WWII. Especially the Uprising of Warsaw in '44 would be a great idea for a mission (or a small campaign).
And now for the tactis, or "RUSE's" in towns, that would suit infantry in towns:
1)Disguise the infantry as enemy troops, so they will be uncovered only in a small proximity or by attacking the enemy
2)Use of the sewers - the infantry could take short cuts thru the sewers to get to a different region of a town, however, the sewer entrances could be mined or, the sewers could be attacked with battlegas
3) Misdirect - place a homing beacon next to enemy drop zone to intercept enemys supply drop
4) Basement hide - hide troops in the basement, rendering them very hard to detect and harm, but they have no fightin power, and are vunreable during evacuation from the building (and if the building is destroyed, then they'r all dead)
5) Remote detonation mine - place a big mine underground, disguise it and place a remote detonation device, so it can be detonated at any poitn, but will not detonate on proxmity of enemy (good for destroing the suply trucks or commanding/supporting vechicles)
6) Sand/tree cover - make the infantry duck and crawl from cover to cover in the shown direction, makeing the harder to spot
7) Tracer rounds - use them to show the enemy, from where Your unit is fireing, to guide them in to a trap (but watch out for airstrikes and artilery )
These are just some of my Ideas, that all are based on German and Polish tactics from Warld War II during the underground fighing of AK (Polish Resistance).
If You have any other ideas concernig this topi, please write them here.
And please drop a comment on my ideas

Sandwell Community History and Archives Service
'How d'you know that?'
Summary of the project
Heritage Lottery funding enabled Sandwell Community History and Archives Service (CHAS) to commission a play for Black History Month, written for secondary pupils and performed in the search room with archives as props.
The play 'How d'you know that?' was based on Malcolm X's visit to Smethwick's Marshall Street in 1965, during a period of community tension over immigration and housing. Professional actors of Afro-Caribbean and Asian descent played an archivist, a witness to Malcolm's visit and two angry young men; in the play the latter are spellbound and calmed by a moving local history lesson.
The performances were followed by workshops, with pupils handling and using CHAS's archives to find out more, led by CHAS staff with help from teachers. Two performances were filmed by a professional film company; the DVD will be premiered in March 2013; free copies will be supplied to all Sandwell secondary schools as teaching aids.
The project launched two longer term service objectives: improved engagement with black and minority ethnic (BME) communities and local schools.
How did you work in a partnership?
The project was funded by Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and delivered in partnership with Sandwell MBC's education service's advisers, local schools, Sandwell Library & Information Service's Chief Librarian, a professional playwright, director and four actors.
What were the challenges?
- The initial bid was rejected by HLF after the Borough Archivist who had written it had left post. The archive service was advised to re-submit the bid so the original bid was revised
- Delivering the programme without the original Borough Archivist being present to interpret and flesh out the original plans
- Releasing and supporting the project manager from other CHAS duties to have sufficient time to manage and deliver the project
- Schools cancelling bookings at short notice; staff in schools not responding or replying to communications; rapid staff turnover in schools
- Working successfully with people who were unused to the constraints of local government environment
- Presenting history as it was, confronting difficult events and issues from the relatively recent past head on, but with tact, sensitivity and balance
How were these addressed?
- Developing a practical plan based on the bid, and using all avenues to engage with schools and communities
- All staff at CHAS worked hard to support the project manager by taking on extra duties
- Working with staff in the Education department to raise awareness of the project with head teachers and teachers in schools
- Working with the actors, director and dramatist in conjunction with library staff to support their needs wherever possible
What were the opportunities?
- To redress CHAS's low level of engagement with minority ethnic groups and re-engage with younger people and schools
- To get secondary school pupils enthused about their area, and their history using original sources
- To advertise and promote the service through an innovative approach, and demonstrate that a historically small and modestly staffed and funded service can still be cutting edge
- To showcase CHAS as the place in Sandwell to discover and understand local history
What were the outcomes?
- 193 people watched the 16 performances. These included secondary school pupils and teachers, community groups, local history groups and general members of the public
- Positive comments from school staff and students, who praised the drama and the way it was presented in the archives. This enabled students to gain an insight into the rich source of materials about the history of Sandwell at the archives
- Raising the profile of Sandwell Community History and Archive Service within the council and senior staff who have then talked about the project to arts groups and within other local authorities
- Staff developed their planning skills and increased their confidence in dealing with different community groups, students and staff
- The majority of the audiences had never visited an archives service before, or were unaware that CHAS existed. Many teachers and pupils stated they had previously known nothing or very little of the local history of 1960s racial tensions, or that Malcolm X had visited Smethwick. Quote from feedback form: 'I didn't think a little place like Smethwick could have so many famous things happen here.'
What did you learn from the project?
- The project went better than the archives service expected
- Working with members of management within the Education department greatly helped gain support from schools
- The subject matter did not seem to interest some community groups and it was felt speaking directly to the groups might have been more successful
- Need to involve representatives from schools, schools advisers and community groups through a steering group formed at the very beginning of the project
Will there be any future developments?
- Working with schools advisers and schools, the archive service are going to develop a programme of themed visits to the archives, to include workshops, and programmes relating to aspects of curriculum
- Engaging with BME communities at their clubs and meeting places to raise awareness of the history of their area, and how the archive service can work with them, as well as using development work with schools to engage with these communities

I've got a 5.1 setup at home and yet on the amp there is a sticker that displays it's 7.1 ready...the Amp can only hold 5 speakers plus the sub.
So what does that mean 7.1 ready???
Can some please explain it to me...thanks
5.1 obviously is front left; front right; centre; surround left; surround right and subwoofer.
If your amp says it is 7.1 ready then it must have 2 extra speaker connections for the surround back left and right channels.

Aventurine to collaborate with John Tesh for upcoming expansion soundtrack.
Denmark, CA: Indie video game developer Aventurine announced plans to collaborate with New Age genius John Tesh on the soundtrack for their upcoming new expansion that goes only under the single code word: "Glitter."
"We got the Tesh, what can we say?" said Aventurine owner/head developer Tico Torres. "He's going to be a perfect fit for our new player experience, which we announced recently." Tico spoke proudly about the new up-and-coming changes to the new player experience for their hardcore PvP MMORPG called Darkfall.
"As we've mentioned before we're happy to see an ever-increasing number of new players entering the game and we're also about to introduce several initiatives and special offers to further increase these numbers." Tico continued, beaming. "We're introducing a new feature possibly as soon as the next patch which provides optional protection against player attacks to brand new players. This functionality is very limited and only lasts a few hours but it should be enough to allow someone logging into Darkfall for the first time to learn to control his character and to get his bearings while still having proper access to the live game. "
Some of those features include a special "Welcome Basket" that can be claimed by any new account holder upon entering the game for the first time. Inside the basket the 19 year old man would find a battle-axe, some incense and a blank journal to keep track of his exploits. Also, the new player will find himself welcomed home by the sound of glittering silver trumpets every time he logs in.
The changes are not without controversy, however, as the official forums for the game hosted post after post of poorly worded threats and entire paragraphs that warned, in detail, of what we think is death. Or disco, we can't tell.
We reached The Tesh for comment, on break from his whirl-wind 50 city/2 year "Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em" world tour:
While the exact date of release for this new expansion is not known, many fan-sties are estimating it's arrival some time in the spring.
(No, I don't think Darkfall is turning into a Candyland. I just thought this was funny.)

Currently, the site is lightly used and it is a good idea to check conditions before you go to ensure there is enough snow to play in.
Crossing the highway to the Fuji Creek Road (FS Rd 5894) leads the fit and prepared skier uphill (3 miles) into the Island and Birthday Lakes ski trail system and the Fuji Shelter, a three-sided structure with a wood stove, and a loft for overnight camping.

My Dad is turning the big 5-0 this month and I needed to make him a card. I thought since I was on a roll with the earthy colors I would try to create a masculine birthday card. I DREW A BLANK. I needed some inspiration, so I went to Split Coast Stampers which has an amazing gallery of cards. I found one that was just perfect and decided to case it. You can view it here. I don't love mine as much as the orignal. I don't have any number stamps so I had to use my Best Friends Alphabet Set from SU for number. I used my Stamp of Authenticity set that was FREE when I signed up for SU during Sale-A-Bration. I love this set and I love it with this color combo. Chocolate Chip, Kraft and Almost Navy. Very masculine colors but really sophisticated too. I used so square brads I had to attach the navy strip on the card. I hope he likes it!!
Products Used For This Card: All products are Stampin Up unless otherwise stated.

Sanded Background Stamp

Now I went back and checked the numbers for the past 50 years and didn't find a single case of a recession—as calculated by the National Bureau of Economic Research—that started with or contained two straight quarters of positive GDP growth, much less three quarters. In a recent interview with the Financial Times, former Federal Reserve Chief Alan Greenspan admitted he was puzzled that the economy hasn't fallen off a cliff, given the housing crisis, credit crunch, and oil price surge. He told the FT: "A recession is characterized by significant discontinuities in the data.... It started off that way—there was a period of sharp discontinuity from December to March. But then it stopped.... No one knows how this tug of war will end—specifically, whether the financial crisis will end before it drags down the real economy." — James Pethokoukis

text: I got my roadbike mid-april. I've ridden about 5 or 6 out of every 7 days since. I started out at about 2 miles and I'm up to 23 now. The last couple days I have added 3 miles to my ride each day. It seems like a lot to me but I didn't have any problems with it. My speed is also increasing rapidly. I'm averaging about 19 or 20 mph whereas when I started I was averaging about 13 mph. Does it seem like I may be adding miles on too soon or is that normal? I am toying with the idea of doing the Ride to Kaiser, or at least the shortest leg of it (60 miles I think it is, and 3500 feet). My ride has very little climbing in it so far. I'm planning on doing some hills on Friday with a friend who knows some good ones. I'm I going to kill myself or am I doing fine?
