I wish to contribute to the recent awakening and movement which is trggered by heinous rape and death incident in India...
Once again a daughter is sacrificed
Tormented n wounded was she to the core
So barbarically, that she lost her life
Questioning humanity that how many more!
Once again someone has dared
Acted sinful and immoral
Beleaguered and coerced the innocent
To prove his satanic power
Once again I heard
This dark sinister laughter
My ears deafen with splitting
and piercing screams of torture
Once again I tossed n turned
Sleepless through the night
I called upon 'O God',
Who claims to be almight
You're known to be Supreme,
So where is your clout
I learnt you stood for the weak,
Protected with your shroud
We learnt from the scriptures
One pays for one's misdeeds
I haven't seen many brought to justice
Virtuous victims only recede
All that while we cry hoarse
Against the malevolent society
Why shouldn't we then question
Your chauvinistic deity
Dowry deaths, honor killings
and daily physical assaults
Or shouldn't we support the womb killings
to save the pain afterwards
Once again I have no answer
to our daughters we raise
No protection can I guarantee,
No promise I can make
My heart is torn for the sufferers,
Who fall to devils' prey
How can we be their guardians,
When You are not au'fait
How many more sacrifices
And assaults will it take
To stir You up to chasten
The sordid and depraved!

Mandeep CaurJan 13 2013: Thanks Theodore, for bringing up this point of view. It does't surprise me at all when I see our men folk living with this attitude n pass on to generations down. Today I happened to discover that even our religions n holy books promote this. Crime and disrespect against women is certainly condemned through the centuries. But solutions recommended and criticism extended only say our Women need to watch out and makeshift to resolve this social menace. So I read-
"Those who do not have respect for the women
Do not deserve to be born out of their mother.
Let their mother be always sterile."
I like the idea of those who should not be born, but again we are blaming women for bearing them and should rather be sterile!
My Question is - When our men will start taking responsibility for themselves , their conduct and the approach towards women....... Hope we will have some answers... And those answers will be my only Hope!

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Deserves its classic status for the transformative concept of an aging Batman returning to duty in an ambivalent city while suffering from the aches and pains associated with his age. The images are distinctive and beautiful and the overall atmosphere created by these comics/graphic novel is unique and exciting. In two of the chapters it also creates a fascinating Superman character who is an ambivalent tool of the U.S. government activated to fight cold war battles while doing minute calculations of how his actions will minimize the threats to human (and animal) life.
In telling its stories, the Dark Knight Returns traverses a wide range from Gotham's villains to the President of the United States and much in between, with large sections narrated by a Greek chorus-like device of newscasters or arguing talking heads on TV screens.
But, at least for me, it still suffers from plots that at times are overly elaborate and hard to follow, drawing on comic book mythologies I'm not familiar with, and has cartoonish set piece battles. It seems like it is just about as good as a comic book can get, but (apologies to fans of the genre), it is still a comic book.
I read this back in the early 1990s, but wanted to return to it after seeing Dark Knight Rises. Frank Miller's dystopian future Gotham is brilliantly rendered. Having gained a little perspective since my early adolescence, I was a bit dismayed at how many parallels there were to our current political atmosphere. I was also pleasantly surprised to recognize some parallels between this storyline and Alan Moore's Watchmen, which came out around the same time period.
Back in the 1990s, this may have been my first exposure to a Batman comic book. (I had the leather bound collection with Year One and one other Miller Batman story, but that has disappeared through the years.) Upon that first reading, I was confused about characters and back stories referenced here, but they were much clearer to me on this second go round.
Fans of Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise will find some of his source material here, and old comic book fans can rest assured that this classic story stands the test of time.
The Batman is old and decides to no more crime fighting... Crime on the streets is on the rise. Bruce Wayne races on a race track and Alfred is probably dead. Then a little girl shows her bravery in front of a street gang... I love the way the details are shown, drawn and are purposely made the way they are.
After the death of a Robin, Bruce Wayne has gone into retirement for some time but finds himself constantly fighting with himself to release the Batman again. Meanwhile, Commissioner Gordon is about to forced into retirement, a fact that hasn't stopped a gang of teenage mutants from threatening to kill him. Over at Arkham Asylum, Harvey Dent is getting ready to face the outside world again as a rehabilitated citizen while the Joker is quietly plotting something nefarious. And, Superman is working behind the scenes with the government, purportedly to prevent the Cold War from breaking out into a full-scale war. Against all of this backdrop, Bruce Wayne finds he cannot continue to fight the battle within him for the Batman to re-emerge and he once again take the streets of Gotham City, enacting his own sense of justice as the caped crusader.
This book is considered one of the highlights of the comics medium and has been much lauded by many. Having heard about how wonderful it is for so many years now, I was severely disappointed by it. This was not simply a matter of "oh, I see how this was groundbreaking at the time, but now it's so passé." I honestly couldn't see how this book was so great. I found there was so much going on in it that most of the subplots did not get a chance to be fully fleshed out. Bruce Wayne just seemed far too old at this point and so many years removed from the game to be able to jump so quickly back into fighting all kinds of different enemies with relative ease. Personally, the crossovers in comics has never been something that appeals to me much, so the whole addition of Superman in a book that's meant to be all about Batman/Bruce Wayne's inner turmoil just seemed out of place.
The constant use of TV news anchors delivering headlines or hosting point-counterpoint arguments about the Batman started to feel old quickly. However, they did bring up interesting points about how the Batman was viewed by the general public and in that way also serve to question the reader about how he/she should react to the vigilante's actions. This was an interesting twist, as I feel like most Batman comics just automatically assume for the reader that one should blindly root for Batman and never question his motives as anything but honorable while if a similar vigilante character were to exist, most of us would not be as fond of him as in real life as we are in fiction. But Miller's Batman here is so very dark that this question ends up becoming unnecessary. I'm not sure that many are still rooting for Batman by the end of this comic. But perhaps that is just my take on it.
Despite the addition of a female police commissioner and a teenage girl as Robin, there was such an undercurrent of misogyny throughout the book that it left a bad taste in my mouth. In some ways these more subtle cuts toward women were far worse than the almost laughable ridiculous portrayal of women in Miller's Sin City comics, where the female characters were almost always all naked or half-naked and had hardly any role to play beyond prompting the male "hero" to act.
All in all, I was disappointed by this book as I had really been hoping for something amazing. Instead, I found it rather subpar, and I would recommend a variety of other Batman comics over this one.
Although I've got a sizable collection of comics and graphic fiction, this is the only Batman title that I own. In fact, I tend to avoid the whole superhero genre but I'm pleased that I picked up this one. This book is considered something of a classic as it helped redefine Batman in the '80s. Gone is the camp of the Adam West television show, and we instead get a first look at the dark figure that will be familiar to anyone whose seen one of the dozen or so Batman movies of the last 25 years. Depictions of other canonical characters such as Robin, Superman, and the Joker are also novel and interesting.
But beyond its significance in comic and pop culture history, this book has a compelling story of an aging Bruce Wayne trying to return to the game, and an interesting style of art and layout.
"The stories are convoluted, difficult to follow and crammed with far too much text. The drawings offer a grotesquely muscle-bound Batman and Superman, not the lovable champions of old.... If this book is meant for kids, I doubt that they will be pleased. If it is aimed at adults, they are not the sort I want to drink with."

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 156389341X, Hardcover)If any comic has a claim to have truly reinvigorated the genre, then The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller--known also for his excellent Sin City series and his superb rendering of the blind superhero Daredevil--is probably the top contender. Batman represented all that was wrong in comics and Miller set himself a tough task taking on the camp crusader and turning this laughable, innocuous children's cartoon character into a hero for our times. The great Alan Moore (V for Vendetta, Swamp Thing, the arguably peerless Watchmen) argued that only someone of Miller's stature could have done this. Batman is a character known well beyond the confines of the comic world (as are his retinue) and so reinventing him, while keeping his limiting core essentials intact, was a huge task.
Miller went far beyond the call of duty. The Dark Knight is a success on every level. Firstly it does keep the core elements of the Batman myth intact, with Robin, Alfred the butler, Commissioner Gordon, and the old roster of villains, present yet brilliantly subverted. Secondly the artwork is fantastic--detailed, sometimes claustrophobic, psychotic. Lastly it's a great story: Gotham City is a hell on earth, street gangs roam but there are no heroes. Decay is ubiquitous. Where is a hero to save Gotham? It is 10 years since the last recorded sighting of the Batman. And things have got worse than ever. Bruce Wayne is close to being a broken man but something is keeping him sane: the need to see change and the belief that he can orchestrate some of that change. Batman is back. The Dark Knight has returned. Awesome. --Mark Thwaite

Global warming: Forecasts by scientists versus scientific forecasts
AbstractIn 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Working Group One, a panel of experts established by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme, issued its Fourth Assessment Report. The Report included predictions of dramatic increases in average world temperatures over the next 92 years and serious harm resulting from the predicted temperature increases. Using forecasting principles as our guide we asked: Are these forecasts a good basis for developing public policy? Our answer is "no." To provide forecasts of climate change that are useful for policy-making, one would need to forecast (1) global temperature, (2) the effects of any temperature changes, (3) the effects of alternative policies, and (4) whether the best policy would be successfully implemented. Proper forecasts of all four are necessary for rational policy making. The IPCC Report was regarded as providing the most credible long-term forecasts of global average temperatures by 31 of the 51 scientists and others involved in forecasting climate change who responded to our survey. We found no references to the primary sources of information on forecasting methods despite the fact these are easily available in books, articles, and websites. We audited the forecasting processes described in Chapter 8 of the IPCC's WG1 Report to assess the extent to which they complied with forecasting principles. We found enough information to make judgments on 89 out of a total of 140 forecasting principles. The forecasting procedures that were described violated 72 principles. Many of the violations were, by themselves, critical. The forecasts in the Report were not the outcome of scientific procedures. In effect, they were the opinions of scientists transformed by mathematics and obscured by complex writing. Research on forecasting has shown that experts' predictions are not useful. We have been unable to identify any scientific forecasts of global warming. Claims that the Earth will get warmer have no more credence than saying that it will get colder.

The Porsche 997 GT3 may have already been replaced by a slew of newer models, including the current generation 991 GT3 , but sports cars like this are the rare kind that really lasts the test of time.
That's why a tuning company like Cam Shaft went out of its way to give the sports car quite an aftermarket program. You might notice that this 997 GT3 is wearing a pretty snazzy livery. Look closer and you'll realize that Cam Shaft, no stranger to fancy dress-ups, gave the German sports car an individually customized Martini Racing design on top of the Pearly White full-scale foil. The Martini Racing livery is the real head-turner here, complete with all the trimmings, lines and even the iconic Mattes logo on the hood and doors.
Availing of this design will cost you &euro2,400 for the Pearl White finish and &euro900 for the Martini livery. It's not exactly cheap, but ultimately, it should be worth the investment if you have the finances to do so.
But the Martini Racing dress-up isn't the only thing that makes this program stand out. Cam Shaft also gave the car's engine a little tweaking of its own, courtesy of its in-house PP performance engine optimization program. With this &euro1,899 modification, Cam Shaft was able to increase the 997 GT3's output to 435 horsepower, 20 ponies more than the standard output.
It still falls short of the current 475-horsepower output of the current 991 GT3 , but it's still a nice bump in our opinion.
Click past the jump to read about the Porsche 997 GT3
2006-2009 Porsche 997 GT3
At that time, the Porsche 997 GT3 was Porsche's most powerful naturally aspirated 911 ever. It's since been eclipsed by a number of models, but to this day, the 997 GT3 still holds the cache as one of the most impressive sports cars the German automaker has ever built.
It came with a 3.6-liter flat six engine that produced 415 horsepower while mated to a six-speed manual transmission. With that much power in tow, the 997 GT3 was capable of hitting 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds with a top speed of 193 mph. Those numbers are standard for super cars these days, but seven years ago, they were off the charts.

Press Release
Not important what to do, full-scale or partial car wrapping, coating protection foilings, car styling themes or sportive car foiling – in all five mentioned areas, the CAM SHAFT team from Kempen on the Lower Rhine is the best of all, so that this team has become one of the most requested car stylists in matters of foiling technics. The brand CAM SHAFT guarantees for quality largely beyond the borders of this land.
In the present case, the Kempen foiling specialists have given a Porsche 997 GT3 a completely new outfit. At first to be mentioned the full-scale foil covering in pearly white for 2.400 Euro. Another 900 Euro must be added for the individually customized Martini racing design, which runs, beginning in the front under a headlight, mounting upwards at the car door over the top to descend on the other side downwards. Herein, imagination and fantasy are (nearly) without any limits. Things that are in many cases not even self-evident, are for CAM SHAFT almost regularity, namely the foil wrapping of the car entrances and the visible door edges. By the way, this after all essential necessity demands another 750 Euro. But the result reached by foiling is really great.
Before the outfit change of the 3rd generation of this GT3 racing car , there was made a CAM SHAFT in-house PP performance engine optimization, enhancing the engine performance from 415 PS (= 305 kW) up to 435 PS (= 320 kW), demanding another 1.899 Euro. Furthermore, CAM SHAFT recommends to use v 3 KW coilovers – in order to enhance the driving dynamics.
And finally, the original GT3 rims for a price of 480 Euro in matt black powder-coated by AG-Felgenveredlung Krefeld, rim ennobler and cooperation partner, round out the whole picture.

Sleeping with your partner in the same bed doesn't always make for sweet dreams. No matter how much you love them. Maybe he was used to sleeping on the left side, but so are you, and of course, there's only one of those. Maybe you snore, he's got bad "night gas" (you know what I'm talking about!). Long story short ... share a bed with a guy long enough, and you'll figure out if you REALLY love him. And you'll figure out if he's actually a good guy. The kind found in a little study done by a psychologist named Donna Dawson. According to her research, most men let their ladies win the "bed war."
This means we usually end up getting the side of the bed we want and, I'd argue, probably the space, too! (Sheets, as well? Ha!) Dawson says this probably has to do with how men are conditioned to protect us, and so they'll usually give in and let us have our way. Interestingly, Dawson notes that there are lots of reasons why we as women may prefer one side of the bed over the other.
You know, like being closer to the door to tend to a crying baby or farther from the door and potential danger. And good guys realize and respect that. (I also have always had a theory you're more likely to be comfortable enough to sleep well next to the kind of guy who would treat you like a queen ... no matter the size of the mattress!)
Personally, my back problems have made it so that sleeping on my stomach with my left leg crouched is most comfortable, and for that reason, I insisted a while back that I get the left side of the bed -- even though it was the side my boyfriend prefers, too. And he gave in! He still steals it from time to time, but that doesn't last very long. No sirree -- he knows what's up and takes good care of me. (He'll tell you he only gives in, because he doesn't want to hear any whining ... but you know men, they don't want to admit they're the softies they really are!)
Sure, I think a king bed is in our future at some point, so we can each have a lot more room. But for now, I appreciate that he makes the sacrifice and space for me. Letting me win the bed war is definitely an act of love.
Do you win the bed war with your partner?

I've only cared what side of the bed I slept on when our room was so tiny that the bed was crammed up against the wall. I was up and down all night to pee when I was pregnant and to deal with the baby after she was born, so I had to be on the outside so I wouldn't be crawling OVER my husband 4 or 5 times a night. After 19 years and 4 kids in and out of our bed, I don't care where I sleep, I just want SOME sleep.
yeah he always lets me choose what side of the bed I get, I like sleeping next to the wall
He really doesn't care. For some reason unknown to me, I always gravitate either to the right side of a bed, or to the side that's up against a wall, if applicable. I couldn't say why I prefer these. Sheets? I "cocoon" when I sleep, so... if we didn't each use our own comforters, he'd have died of hypothermia by now. Handy after dinner at Taco Bell, too...
lol, yes I always win bed wars!
We're pretty good at compromising. In our first apartment, he wanted to be on the right side of the bed, but the left side of our bed was right next to the window, on the ground floor, with a sidewalk about five feet away. And for some reason that just gave me the willies and I couldn't sleep. So he switched sides with me until we moved to a different place where that wasn't an issue, and he could have the right side again. We've kept to our sides of the bed ever since.

A Texas Equusearch team, trying to help police with a missing person case, find the remains of another victim, instead.
It happened in a densely-wooded area near the Eastex Freeway and 610 Loop.
Equusearch volunteers stumbled upon the skeletal remains in a shallow grave, while searching for clues in the case of a man who's been missing for a week.
With all the hallmarks that someone intended the victim to stay hidden, Equusearch founder Tim Miller says the discovery will bring hope to someone.
"There's many families just wondering, every day, if their missing loved one will ever be found," says Miller, "So let's hope this can bring some closure to another family."
While the original 'missing person' case remains open, police investigators will take a second day to continue searching for clues about who died in those woods, and why.

It was another swing day for Apple shares, which have bounced around in the past week as investors assessed its near-vertical 2012 run ; a federal e-book lawsuit; upcoming earnings; and the latest, Qualcomm's ability to manufacture some iPhone components.
Shares ended down 3.4% at $587.44. That means it moved at least 3% for three of the past four sessions. It's swung more than 2% for four of the past five. Its beta -- a measure of volatility vs. the S&P 500 -- is still a mild 0.9, however.

Volvo has announced plans for a 'plug-in' hybrid vehicle capable of www.celebratinglife.org zero emissions. In an innovative partnership with Saab, ETC, electricity company Vattenfall and viagra non prescription the Swedish government, Volvo plans to develop a fleet of 10 vehicles that can be recharged from a wall socket.
Initial models will incorporate standard petrol engines, but it is planned that full 'plug-in' EV's will be introduced later.
Volvo claims that its earlier C30 recharge concept car reduced emissions by around 65% compared to rival hybrid offerings currently on the market. Provided that electricity comes from renewable sources, the company is only today buy cialis in canada confident of improving this figure even further.
In launching the buy xenical propecia programme, Volvo President and CEO Frederik Arp said, "We want to be involved in setting up the rules for the future and to viagra overnight delivery help build up broad-based competence in Sweden in this vital area."

IRVING, Texas - Scout's Notebook for St. Louis Rams:
- It was a rough week once again for
Anthony Spencerin his attempt to get ready for the game against the Rams. Spencer is still dealing with knee issues and his availability will come down to a game time decision from the medical staff.
- For Spencer this will most likely be a situation that he will have to deal with for the remainder of the season. In his place
George Selviehas made the starts the last two weeks and has held up very well. Behind Selvie is Edgar Jones, who has a role as a core special teamer but can fill in at defensive end and my gut feeling is that he will see some extensive work there working with Selvie.
- Been hearing that
Mackenzy Bernadeauhas been getting some reps in practice at center. Bernadeau played center last season against the Redskins and did a serviceable job. I do not believe that this is going to happen but if Brian Watersmakes the start at right guard, that would most likely put Bernadeau in a swing position. That has been Phil Costa's role, but there's a chance he could also be active, considering his work as a short-yardage fullback.
- As much as we have talked about this Cowboys running game and what are the solutions to attempt to get it going, I do not see
Joseph Randlein that equation anytime soon. For this game against the Rams, the three backs that will be active are DeMarco Murray, Lance Dunbarand Phillip Tanner.
- There are issues with the trust factor with Dunbar and what they have gone through with him putting the ball on the ground but Randle is just not ready at this point in time to take on the that expanded responsibility.
- What I have noticed about the Rams cornerbacks on tape that they are an aggressive group when he comes to driving on the ball. Both Cortland Finnegan and Janoris Jenkins tend to gamble on plays at times and this will get them in trouble.
- The Cowboys have gone down the field with
Dez Bryantfor a shot or two but I would not put it past Jason Garrett and Bill Callahan to see if they can double move the corners, make them bite on a route and see if they can work the ball down the field for a quick score.
- Not a big fan of the inside three on the Rams offensive line and I feel like this is a place where maybe
Jason Hatcherand Nick Haydencan take advantage of their lack of play. Hatcher's quickness should give guards Chris Williams and Harvey Dahl problems.
- Neither one of these guards moves all that well so when they have to deal with sudden movement, it's a big issue. Hayden has some sneaky quickness and also has done a nice job of playing with power at the point. Sam Bradford likes to try and stand in the middle of the pocket to get rid of the ball quick. If the rush does not get there quick enough, hands need to go in the air because Bradford tends to throw the ball low underneath and there is a chance for a tipped ball or two.
- On defense the Rams run a four man line and they really do like to try and get up the field and attack your blocking scheme. From my experiences in the past, teams that like to attack with a four man line can also be trapped in the running game.
- Trap blocks are an easy way to take advantage of the movement of the defensive line. Some of the creative runs that the Cowboys had last week against the Chiefs were designed with pullers and down blocks. Attacking this Rams front with a more direct approach should beneficial instead of trying to string it out with zone runs. The idea is to get the back going downhill now.
- Terence Williams might have been the first man off the bench when this offense went to their three wide receiver package but expect more of
Dwayne Harrisin that role this week. This is not saying that the coaches feel any less confident in Williams but it's another opportunity to get Harris on the field, to see if they can create a situation or two with him in the open field.
- Splinting the work between Williams and Harris will allow the rookie to take a moment to collect himself and become a little more comfortable in his role in the offense.

WEDNESDAY, June 22 (HealthDay News) -- Heart damage caused by
heavy cocaine use can occur without producing any symptoms,
according to a new study.
Researchers assessed the heart health of 30 long-term cocaine
users, average age 37, who entered a drug rehabilitation program 48
hours after they last used cocaine. They had been using cocaine for
an average of 12 years and consumed about 5.5 grams of cocaine per
Snorting was the most common way of using cocaine, but 10 said
they injected intravenously and two said they smoked it (crack
More than half of the those addicted to cocaine also used other
substances -- such as heroin and alcohol -- and one in five was
infected with either hepatitis C or HIV.
Heart function was normal in all the daily cocaine users, but 12
had localized abnormalities, 83 percent had structural damage, and
47 percent had swelling (edema) in the lower left ventricle. Edema
was associated with greater cocaine consumption.
The researchers also found that 73 percent of the addicts had
heart tissue scarring (fibrosis), possibly caused by a silent heart
attack or toxic damage.
Edema is an indicator of recent damage and is reversible, but
fibrosis is not, the researchers said.
The study appears online June 21 in the journal
In about one in five cocaine addicts, autopsy studies reveal
myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, according to a
journal news release. And, among people younger than 45,
one-quarter of non-fatal heart attacks are linked with cocaine, the
authors said in a journal news release.

Authorities need your help finding two suspects who are accused of stealing a rifle from a Millbrook Walmart.
Central Alabama CrimeStoppers say surveillance video shows a suspect walked into the Walmart on February 24 and stole a Smith & Wesson MP-15 22. Caliber rifle from a locked display case.
The video shows the unknown man as he tampered with the case over the span of about an hour, making sure to avoid contact with store employees. Investigators say the second suspect acted as a lookout.
Once the suspect opened the case, he pulled the rifle from the display and hid it on a nearby shelf. He came back later, put it under a coat the second suspect gave him, and walked out the door.
Video shows the suspects leaving the parking lot in a black sedan that investigators have not been able to identify through make or model.
The rifle Serial Number is #HBX4185
If you have any information that could help authorities track down these suspects, contact CrimeStoppers at 215-STOP immediately. You may be eligible for a cash reward.

In our Memorial Days: We perceive The Faith of Christ -And the evidence of it- is what we see, and need to focus on. Faith, Hope and Charity bring Peace and should be the Focus of every Christian. Though a highly Morlistic one.
[1John 5:3]
"We need to read, to seek, we need to know exactly who we are dealing with." Pastor Ulysse. Message: A Faith-Crowned Life. Sunday Morning Service, 9/21/08.
Thank you for the moments you've spent looking up this topic. Jesus guarantees you will not be disappointed by this chapter.
These next ten years we have a chance to alter forever the direction this Civilization wants to go. We can crucify the Flesh and allow God to purge us of our worldly desires and we can move into the next millennia in such a fashion that Satan and all his Angels will find themselves helpless until the return of the Great God manifest as Jesus.
These People we remember on this day, are a people that no matter what did not die in Vain. This Country is still here. It's system still runs. ?Sure there are disagreements. and untill Christ comes there better be some, otherwise everyone would consider themselves wise and of this world and then there would be a bigger problem.
Revelations 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
John 9:40And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? 41Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
1 John 1:8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Though no flesh of this world can get into the next without being translated: We who live in Christ have hope that we will not need to taste death. Until Christ Comes personally again, or perhapse never.
Hebrews 11: 5By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
1 Thessalonians 4:17. 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Matthew 16:28Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
So those who have as we should call it: Passed from this world (For the sake and cause of Liberty) are on this Memorial Day, remembered. God Has not forgotten. Nor should we. Though we are imperfect beings, we must still struggle towards perfection.
"We think our cause is just; therefore hope God will be on our side. We do not take up the hatchet and struggle for honor and conquest; but to maintain our civil constitution and religious privileges, the very same for which our forefathers left their native land and came to this country."

James 1: 22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
2 Corinthians 3: 17Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Luke 12: 6Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? 7But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. 8Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
James 1:10For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. 13For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath showed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
The Whole Goal of the Christian that seeks to help any one should be to create Peace, Faith, Hope and Charity. Mercy and Liberty naturally follow as will the fruit of the Spirit.
Matthew 5:9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
I Corinthians 13: 13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
"The United Nations (UN; pronounced /yu?.?n/, yoo-en) is an international organization whose stated aims are to facilitate cooperation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress, human rights and achieving world peace. The UN was founded in 1945 after World War II to replace the League of Nations, to stop wars between countries and to provide a platform for dialogue. "
United Nations: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: United Nations Charter 26 June 1945: Ratification of Charter: 24 October 1945:
The Original Plan of the United Nations was just that simple. High Morals are Truly the end result Of the Christians efforts.

I've heard some claims that there are people getting MoP beta access that do not have an Annual Pass, have not been playing since early WoW days and are not press. The impression I got from info released by Blizzard about the beta was that people entitled to access through the Annual Pass would be granted this in waves. I'm curious how much truth there are to these claims and whether or not you think it's something Blizzard will address

Remarkable: Turning Plastic Cups Into Pencils
- Location: multiple locations
- Website: remarkable.co.uk
Based out of Worcestershire, Remarkable is a UK company that turns recyclable materials into useful products, like pencils, notebooks and rulers. Their products have a little bit of fun about them, proudly advertising their origins ("I used to be...retail packaging!") in celebration of their new, eco-friendly and functional lease on life...
The company was started in 1996 by Edward Douglas Millerin. He got the idea of trying to turn a plastic cup into a pencil, just to see if it could be done. (Check out their How Do We Make Our Pencils? tutorial, but don't try it at home!) They aim to "[make] products that instill a sense of fun and intrigue... [and] evoke a feeling of purpose, passion and excitement. By highlighting what an item was in its previous life...[they] are generating a positive interest in recycling and environmental issues."

These would make cute gifts for students who are nerdy about their supplies. Bookmarked!
I have one of these folders (red) and it really worked well for me until the closure broke. The slot w/ "hook" or "loop" just doesn't hold up well.
Mine is a bit older, apparently. I definitely don't like the direction they're going by putting such a giant logo on all of the product. My folder says only "I used to be retail packaging..." all in Helvetica (or something close to it).

Greetings, I was curious about the man named Ezra on roller skates. By chance do you have his last name? When was the above photo taken? My grandfather was an elephant trainer and worked in the circus. I also know of a story where he assisted in calming an elephant namd Madoc down after the elephant had escaped; I'm wondering if this is the same Ezra? I did want to add that I love the circus and attend reularly. Excellent post, Latonya Peterson, Author
Dear Ivan,
The famous sway pole artist Bruce Anderson is our friend – he was not only an amazing circus performer but a classical singer with a superb basso profundo voice. We visited him about a year ago but have since lost track of him. If you have any information we would be grateful to know how (and where) he is.
Best wishes,
Vicky Brago-Mitchell
I hope all is great since we last spoke and look forward to speaking with you again – Robert

My name is Lauren Kramer and I am a 7th grader at Kirksville Middle
School in Missouri. I live in Lancaster, MO and when we had to choose
our National History Day topic, Hall's legacy intrigued me.
This year's theme is: Turning Points in History, People, Events, Ideas
and I decided to create a website.
I won first place at the regional level, and I will
advance to state on April 20. Before submitting my site for judging, I
need to update and revise the site.
I have already visited Buckles Blog and been to the CHS, If you
wouldn't mind, I would love for this to be posted for everyone to see
and enjoy. And, if anyone has anymore insight or information about
Hall – that would be great too!

Hi Ivan,
I just happened upon your circus blog and wonder if you would like some pics from the 1950s-60s/ If so, please give me the approx file size desired and e-mail address.
Also, do you recall anything about a wire walker (vintage 1950s – Shrine Circus?), named "Du Val"? Don't recall where I came up with the name, but act very similar to Harold Alzana, and I almost wonder if it Harold?.
Hi Ivan, I understand that Empress was sold to a "third party," who then sold Empress to a Circus in Mexico where she died. Do you have any information on how or when she died.

Hello Ivan,
My name is Dan Carrell, and my great uncle, Leo Carrell, used to own a Monkey Circus that traveled with different carnival shows, and at least one online article indicates that in the late 30s he was traveling with the Cetlin and Wilson Carnival. My great uncle's most famous chimps were Susie and Cheetah (who he took into his care after he retired from the Tarzan movies). I have family pictures and postcards of Susie, Cheetah, and my great aunt and uncle along with several of their close carnival friends including the Bearded Lady.
Since I'm the last one who will continue the Carrell family name, I'm always interested in piecing together the significant and interesting parts of my family's past. Let me know if you are interested in learning any more or have any information to share.

I'm looking for resources to find my great-great aunt who traveled with Ringling Bros. Circus World Museum was unable to find any info for me. Her name was Maizy Gray (not sure of spelling) and she rode the horses, and was one that the elephant put his foot on. My grandmother used to carry around pictures of her to show off to friends, so she's been unable to find any that have 'survived' since then (she's now almost 82). I appreciate any help!
Hi Ivan,
My parents, Joe & Shirley Carpini, along with Ray & Daisy Marian, were the Four Sky Devils. They did a high trapeze act for Tom Packs Shrine Circus, 1952-1954. I have a picture of them that I would like to send, but cannot figure out what digital address to use. To my knowledge, it is the only remaining picture due to a family fire. I would love to have it be part of circus memorabilia and not lost forever. Both of my parents are still alive, in their 80s. Ray & Daisy have both passed. They stopped the show in 1954 when Daisy fell 100 feet during the show when the ropes broke.
Wondering if you can put me in touch with anyone that knows some history about the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus, especially about Mr Wallace.
Hi Ivan,
This is Larry Ford from the early 60s on Seibrand Circus. I worked for Nick Thomas on the flat stores. Do you remember ? Do you remember the time in Great Falls Montana, when you showed me your portfolio and I was so impressed, and when I revisited and The Diamonds were on stage and I met you in the bar. Remember when we took the Jag out for a test drive? Wouldn't Galickio be proud. It would be nice to reconnect, this is a friend's computer, I only use snailmail but you can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com
You were a good friend and your chimp act is still the best,
Ivan, Happy new year and I hope it is a good one for you. I just shared a link for you and want to hear your comments on how likely this is that someone could do this. Dave
Ivan, my name is Marlene Large. I am originally from Montana. I am using my friend's e-mail as I do not have one. My aunt and her husband, Gertrude "Gertie" Craig and Max Craig worked for the Gil Gray Shriner's Circus. Do you have any memorabilia for them? To my limited knowledge, in their younger years, she performed on the rope. Max was kind of a jack-of-all-trades. They are both deceased. Gertie died last year. Max died in 1988 both in Texas.
They had two children: Darrell and Kandra. Kandra has a photoviewer picture that shows her (Kandra) at age 4 or 5 riding an elephant.
It would be fun for the family to see any pictures that you might have.
Thank you so very much for your time and trouble.
Ila Wakley for Marlene Large, niece of Max and Gertie Craig
Mr. Henry,
I found your blog while researching the J. E. Henry Shows. My great-grandfather, Albert Barry, was with the J. E. Henry Show in 1914 and possibly for a few years earlier. Albert was a tattoo artist and a contortionist around that time. If you have any more information on your family's show from the early 20th century I'd be very interested.
Thanks for maintaining this blog, and thanks for your help.

Hey Ivan, I had a request to do some decals for the Ringling bros '76 bicentennial scheme. I've only got one photo showing a white passenger car. Do you have any photos?thanks Matt
Fred Dahlinger indicated I should contact you. I have a photo of six men on the back of an elephant and believe that two of them are my great uncles Ed C. and Oscar Walton. I would be pleased to send you a copy of the photo. Mr Dahlinger wrote:
". . The "J. E. H." on the elephant blanket indicates that this is a photograph of the J. E. Henry Circus. They had a well-known band on the back of the elephant [named Gyp, I believe] and later had it in a small bandwagon. If those are Waltons in the photo, then there's something of a connection between the Waltons and Henry. Perhaps after closing the Walton show they went and joined the Henry operation?. . "
I have been researching Cobby the Chimp from a TV Show Cobbies Hobbies circa 1960s. I came across a photo of him from the Jimmy Troy Trapeze Act circa 1950s it says but could have been 60s as well. He was owned by Murray Hill at the time. Have you heard of Cobby? Wondering if he was part of any other Circus Acts.
Thank you for any information you or your readers may be able to provide.

Dear Mr. Henry,
I am writing to inquire about the use of one of the images on your blog for an upcoming article to be published in the Circus Historical Society's Bandwagon. We will be running a story about the American Circus Corporation shows first season under RIngling management. Since much of this article relies on correspondence from Pat Valdo, the image you published at:
would be a great fit. Is this part of your personal collection? Would you be OK if we ran the image in the journal, giving credit to you and your blog?
I look forward to hearing form you,
Jennifer Lemmer Posey
Editor, Bandwagon
I'm related to Harriet Evans, Clyde Beatty's second wife, she is my great aunt. If anyone has information about her, I'd love to hear about it as I am working on my family tree. Thanks so much!
Hi Ivan,
It's been a while since I checked your site, and I'm very happy you've showed no signs of slowing down. I know you had some health issues, and I hope you and your family are doing well. As I get older, I find myself thinking more and more of my younger days. I have such wonderful memories growing up on the road during the summers and all the friends I made, including you. I have such vivid memories of you teaching (or trying to teach) us kids to break boards with our hands. Your section on the Siebrand Show has been awesome, and I think Pete and his family would be very happy with the site. Take care and I hope you have many more years of health and happiness.
Thanks so much.

Hi Ivan I just discovered you and your blog yesterday while researching my family tree. I know this is not a circus question but I was wondering if you could email me so I can ask you questions about your mother Mary Annie. Her father was my dads grandfather as well. It would be great if you could fill in a few blanks i have about your family. I also think this is so cool that I have a relative who was a circus performer.

Hi Ivan….
I have a photo of 40 horse driver, Jake Posey, taken in 1957 I'd like to post. Can you give me an email address where I can send it?

Hi Ivan,
My mother Patricia Henry King is your cousin, and I believe that Glen Henry (my grandfather) would be your uncle. My mother is a little older that you and remembered that as a kid they called you "Ivan the terrible" and you always seemed to get in trouble. On one occurrence she remembered that you ran down the midway completely nude. I can remember my aunt (Shirley Henry Atyde) mentioned you several years ago as well. I can remember Bertha and Bum (Arthur) vaguely as a child.
In any event, I have enjoyed viewing your website! I have several 8×10 photos of Glen, Ethyl, Patty and Shirley when they performing in one of the many circuses they were in, and a few of Gary. And if you would like I could send electronic versions of them if you could provide me with your e-mail or another way to upload them you your site. I also have several of my Father (Billy Woods) when we was a trapeze flyer on several shows.
