Do you understand how scary this picture is
god forbid a real person do real person things he wasnt just a robot who killed people jesus fucking christ
uh yeah its not like he killed and tortured six million jews or anything
Hold on just a tick. Listen, I'm Jewish, so I'm perfectly capable of understanding that what he did was just…..well, there are no words for it. But let's not round it up to simply Jews that got killed. It was six million people that died in those camps, not just Jews. Did you know that homosexuals were sent there, too? Yeah, I'm sure you did. They had to wear special little symbols on their clothes. Do you know what it was? It was a pink triangle.
It was six million PEOPLE.
But you let that roll over in your mind for a while and you are going to forever see this man as a monster, but that's not what he was. He was someone who thought he was truly doing something right for his nation, no matter how shitty he was doing it. Believe me when I say that I don't like him. I really don't. My grandfather's brothers died in those camps, and my grandfather escaped to Spain, then to Mexico. He was lucky.
This is not a monster holding hands with a little girl.
This is Adolf Hitler, a man, holding hands with a little girl.
Yeah. It's fucking scary. It really is. Do you know why?
It's because you're seeing that he wasn't, in fact, a monster. You're seeing in this picture that he was a man. He was a man, and that's really the saddest part of it all.
As a History major who specializes in the history of early modern Europe, I've studied a lot of dictators in detail, not just Hitler. The number one mistake anyone could ever make in history is making the assumption that only inhuman monsters are capable of doing terrible things.
Stop dehumanizing Hitler just so you can reassure yourself that "normal" humans aren't capable of doing bad things. Hitler liked children and dogs, he was a vegetarian and he cried like a little boy when his mother died. I'm not saying he was a good, innocent person, but when you stop attributing human characteristics to historical figures like Hitler, it's how you overlook people just like him in real life, and it's how people like him end up back in power.
That last statement.

Beautiful Designer Kitchens
We've gathered all our best kitchens in one place from country casual to sleek and modern. Take a look at some of our favorite kitchen designs.
By Multiple Authors
Breakfast Room
Moroccan Influences
Open shelves for display break up the cabinetry in this Lake Michigan homes kitchen. Designer Martin Horner chose blue mercury-glass pendants from Gallery L7 to pick up the color theme and the homes exotic style. English sabre-leg counter stools from the Sterling Collection.
Natural Inspiration
In this traditional North Carolina mountain home designed by Ruard Veltman, a custom-made table abuts the kitchen island to create more prep space and encourage sit-down meals. Open shelving offers plenty of storage and is also accessible from the dining room's pass-through. Metal stools, R&Y Augousti.
Pine and Iron
In this coastal Connecticut kitchen by Susan Drake, color of the finish on the cabinets changes with the light, but the gray undertones blend in with the antique iron pendants from John Rosselli and the custom rolled-steel hood. Wolf cooktop with grill. The Kensington bar stools made by Arhaus are made from reclaimed pine and iron.
Breakfast Area
Designer Kay Douglass chose overscale willow basket lights from South of Market to help define the breakfast area in this large Atlanta kitchen. Tones of gray reappear in the curtain fabric by Lewis & Sheron Textiles and the Dual Seat Counter Bench by Lee Industries. Faucet by Waterworks. Sub-Zero refrigerator. Mirror from South of Market.
Gorgeous Gray
The kitchen is a favorite place to host casual lunches and dinners. "The mahogany-topped island can easily fit 12 stools," says Parrish Chilcoat, who designed this masculine Southern California home with Joe Lucas. "In a room this big, with east and west exposures, all this gray is grounding," Lucas adds. To set the cabinets and island apart, the designers painted them two different shades: Farrow & Ball's Down Pipe, a warm gray, on the cabinets, and Benjamin Moore's cooler Chelsea Gray on the island. Antique industrial pendants and a custom stainless-steel hood add sculptural focal points. The backsplash is acid-washed Seagrass limestone from Classic Tile.
Chalkboard Bar
One of the homeowners of this California beach house became obsessed with finding just the right vintage stove; he spotted this Chambers range on antiqueappliances.com. Designer Erin Martin added a blackboard on the breakfast bar for an opportunity for an intriguing quote. Subway tiles by Heath Ceramics remind owner Kim Dempster of the inside of a shell. Gemini ceiling lights from Alfa. Paint throughout the house is Benjamin Moore's Snow on the Mountain.
Punch of Pattern
For the kitchen of this Charlotte, North Carolina home, designer Lindsey Coral Harper made a Roman shade in the same fabric as the kitchen sofa, Thom Filicia's Prospect in Shadow for Kravet, to carry the ikat pattern across the room.
Swedish-Style Kitchen
All-White Kitchen
Designer James Radin chose the black Windsor chairs for contrast — "like a punctuation mark" — in the creamy, all-white kitchen.
Pop of Color
The 2010 Kitchen of the Year
Old World Charm
New Traditional Kitchen
Dual Islands
Texture-Rich Kitchen
Understated Electric
Timeless Design
A Kitchen for a Collector
Vintage Meets Modern
With modern amenities and vintage touches, this kitchen has old pendant light fixtures, no-fuss zinc countertops, and chairs rescued from a friend's basement and painted a sunshiny yellow. Designed by Ruthie Sommers.
Yacht-Inspired Kitchen
French Brasserie
Unusual Layout
Outrageous Color
Mirrored Kitchen
Clean and White
The owners of this Georgia beach home wanted a Nantucket-style kitchen even though the house's exterior is Spanish Revival.
To accompany the white cabinetry, designer Jim Howard topped counters and the island with Breccia Imperiale marble. "Its aubergine and cool green veining hides everything," he says.
Disappearing Cabinets
Casual and Classic American
Belgian Kitchen
Modern Makeover
By keeping the U-shape layout but updating the appliances and cabinets, Pine Cone Hill's Annie Selke remodeled her ranch house kitchen without spending too much time or money. She also kept durability in mind when selecting building materials, like the stainless-steel kickplates under the cabinets that help prevent scuff marks.
Modern Oak
Think Upward
High-Ceilinged Kitchen
Casual Country
Seaside Kitchen
Simple Farmhouse Kitchen
Spare Aesthetic
Blue and White Kitchen
Antiqued Kitchen
Marble and Wood Island
Carole Lalli, former editor in chief of Food & Wine magazine, designed this butcher-block-and-marble island in her Connecticut kitchen. "The really large island is because my daughters cook with me when they visit, and my husband is America's best prep cook."

Asian Influences
Choose Chairs Without Arms
Simple Storage
Aspen Kitchen
Casual Feeling
Rustic Kitchen
Kitchen Chimney
Working Kitchen
Modern Mix
Light and Dark
Designer Waldo Fernandez mixed light and dark in this somewhat traditional kitchen. He stained the sleek cabinetry brown-black, and installed a light charcoal-gray soapstone countertop on the island.

Sensual Neutrals
Original Charm
Classic Modernism
White Florida Kitchen
Custom Range
Theatrical Kitchen
Nantucket Kitchen
Candy Land Kitchen
Wood-Paneled Kitchen
In this Sonoma country house, designer Jay Jeffers paneled the kitchen, including the dishwasher and refrigerator, and added red accents for contrast. "Paneling makes a kitchen feel more like a real room than strictly a work space."

Chuck Thurston: Living the pond life
As we gobbled down our lunch, my mother used to warn my brothers and me that "You'll get cramps and drown if you go swimming right after you eat!"
Good advice, perhaps, but likely wasted on us. Our peanut butter sandwiches had probably distributed themselves throughout our hyper-active systems in the 15 or 20 minutes it took us to get ready for a summer afternoon swim.
Getting ready didn't involve any more than putting on cut-off jean swim trunks and hiking up to the small pond on a hill above our farm house.
The pond was bull dozed out below a spring that had evidently been known to travelers well before us. More on that later.
Whatever its history, it fed our swimming hole, although our efforts barely qualified as swimming.
The pond was not very large – perhaps 10 yards across at its widest – and not very deep.
Two or three strokes could propel a swimmer from one side to the other.
It was not even absolutely necessary to expend your energy this way, since you could wade across if you wished.
When our dad had it excavated, he kept the water level at around 4 feet.
We even built a raft of sorts to paddle across it — a short voyage by any measure, but we never seemed to make it.
Our raft was an old door. We had added boards as gunwales around it and caulked the seams with clay.
Although we paddled mightily, it would slowly sink beneath us just a few strokes from shore.
We had devised all manner of water sports and entertainments.
"Swimming lessons" were an early favorite, and our household pets were the pupils.
The educational process simply involved throwing them in. Could dogs swim? Of course. Pretty well, too, although some breeds— shepherds, for instance — had to be coerced. Beagles, on the other hand, often jumped in of their own volition and frolicked with us.
It was not unusual to be doggy paddling around and have a smiling hound pull alongside.
Cats were another matter. They could swim OK, but one lesson generally sufficed. After that, they ran away – soaked and bedraggled – and were tough to catch for further experiments.
Fortunately, most farms had plenty of "barn cats" to keep the rodent population down, so there were usually a few who were ignorant — and therefore unwary — of this tutoring. These were fair game for further testing.
The pond got a lot company when not put to our use. We frequently saw the tracks of deer, foxes, raccoons and assorted small game on the pond banks.
The usual compliment of frogs, toads, salamanders, minnows, water snakes, mosquitoes, dragon flies, gnats and other assorted wildlife filled out this ménage.
The pond had a mud bottom and 5 or 10 minutes of activity turned it into a murky mess — absolutely useless for bathing.
I don't recall that it ever totally cleared up during the years of our usage.
An occasional cow also visited the pond. These animals often, in the hottest days of the summer, waded in and stood there, and…need I say more?
We now and then had to shoo one away to gain access to our pool. After an afternoon of play, our mother made us hose each other down with a garden hose before we were fit to shuck our trunks and come inside to get dressed.
Fun continued long after summer was done and the leaves had fallen.
Although the spring continued to trickle up from its source, the pond froze over solid during the cold Pennsylvania winters.
We all had clamp-on ice skates, and played a primitive sort of ice hockey.
We had no idea of the rules of this game. "A stick was used to push a puck into a goal" pretty much defined our knowledge of the sport.
Our first equipment consisted of sticks and smooth, flat stones, but at some point, our Christmas wishes for hockey sticks and a genuine rubber puck were granted, and we played in real style.
The pond went through many lives. Reeds and water plants invaded it from time to time and created a swamp useless for paddling around.
It silted up and had to be dredged out a couple of times. During long summer droughts, it dried up into a large puddle.
The pond is still there. My brother has fenced off all but a small part of the shallow end to give cows some drinking access.
A large stand of oak, 2-3 feet in diameter now surround the site. I once took a botany class that described the evolution of a climax forest and this seems to be the case here. In the midst of this vegetation, the spring seeps up from its depths to feed the pond.
We have found genuine arrowheads in its vicinity.
Had hunters – with their spears and bows stopped there to refresh themselves? Had they dug out the heavy blue clay for their pottery?
One senses that there will be other lives awaiting this small rising aquifer. Someone may log off the grove of oaks to harvest the timber. The oaks might return.
The pond may revert to swamp, or be dug out for another pond in the future. Someone can return the land to pasture and livestock will once again wade in it. It may be fenced off or opened up. Children can splash in it once more.
For the ancient spring has never quit.
It was an oasis for the weary hunter and the thirsty deer.
Later it was the water source for the colonist and his stock.
Later still, it filled the swimming hole of whooping farm boys.
It is there today, burbling out of the ground just as it must have in the days of the fierce Andastes – long before our history of the New World began.
The ghosts of centuries are surely hovering over its murmuring trickle.

Henry Graham Greene, OM (October 2, 1904 April 3, 1991) was a prolific English novelist, playwright, short story writer and critic whose works explore the ambiguities of modern man and ambivalent moral or political issues in a contemporary setting. Although Greene objected strongly to being described as a mere "Catholic novelist", his religion informs most of his novels, and many of his best works (e.g. Brighton Rock, The Heart of the Matter and The Power and the Glory) are explicitly Roman Catholic in content and preoccupations.

They span some of the most awe-inspiring places on earth, taking cars, cyclists and pedestrians across once-impassable river gorges and even underneath massive lakes. Some were built in a matter of months, while others took more than a decade to complete.
Our look earlier this year at the world's most amazing roads inspired a closer look at the bridges that connect them, many of which were accomplished with feats of architectural imagination that continue to astound decades and centuries later.
Even a few millennia later, like the ancient Romans who built France's Pont-du-Gard.

Seems like each week gets more and more exciting!
I'm happy that I was able to stand on the sideline last week and witness history, as the Bulldogs won their first division title in 28 years and first in Division 1-4A. This team has come a long way from when I started at the Gazette in 2008, and I believe it's because the right men are in charge of this program.
Ron Price and his staff have done a tremendous job over the last two seasons in building this program into a respectable one, and they are doing it the right way, instilling values and teaching lessons that will benefit the kids both on and off the field.
There's no team more deserving of the recognition and attention, and I'm proud to have the opportunity to cover them every week.
But let's be honest, any time a team is winning, it makes my job that much easier.
I thought back earlier in the week about each school and how I've had the chance to cover championship teams throughout my almost two and a half years in Union County.
Every school has won at least one championship since 2008, and that's an astounding statistic considering the number of schools here and the level of talent they compete against. It should also be noted that these kids are not only achieving athletically, but academically as well, which is pretty awesome and rare to see a good combination of both.
Now, I'm not trying to jump the gun and crown this team a champion just yet, but they are in good shape to make a legitimate run in the playoffs. I, like so many, have Nov. 19 circled, hoping that, if all turns out well, New Albany will face off against Lafayette in the third round.
But that's three weeks away, and that's three opponents the Bulldogs would have to face before that can happen, starting with Tishomingo County on Friday.
Twenty-one football seniors, along with others from cheerleading and band, will be honored before the game, and this is a special night for the community. Not only will the 'Dawgs try to end the regular season at 11-0, but everyone will have the opportunity to celebrate the careers of the kids being honored.
It's sure to be an exciting night at Kitchens' Field and I'm willing to bet it will be another great crowd in attendance to watch the Bulldogs achieve yet another one of their goals for the season.
The coaches have said to take it one game at a time and with that mentality, maybe we'll find ourselves in Jackson in another month, cheering on a champion.
Honoring seniors and champs
Seems like each week gets more and more exciting!

As the new president of The Wilderness Society, I'm visiting Alaska's Arctic to get a first-hand look at the landscapes we're working to protect and the role oil drilling has on Alaska's Arctic and its people.
A recent video from CBS news reports that the time kids spend outdoors has dropped 16 percent in just the past five years. And the average American child now spends an astonishing 53 hours a week using technology, according to report.
The PBS Nature series is currently featuring these awe-inspiring creatures in a three-part documentary titled "Bears of the Last Frontier."
Preliminary results of a new study suggest that prolonged time in nature can boost mental abilities significantly.
Every time you escape into wilderness, you will likely spend money on outdoor goods and services. If you're not dropping bucks on things like gear and equipment, there's a good chance you're spending money at local businesses, outfitters or lodging near outdoor recreation areas.
Several members of Congress and Senators were honored as America's Great Outdoors Congressional Champions during Great Outdoors America Week or GO America Week (June 26-June 28, 2012 in Washington DC).
A diverse group of people from across the country came together to honor and celebrate America's Great Outdoors Champions during Great Outdoors America Week (GO America Week). These Agency champions were honored for their on-going work to protect America's wild places
One of the most important landscape photographers of the 20th century, Ansel Adams is renowned for his iconic black and white photographs of the American West.
For the vast Sierra Nevada, it's more important than ever to see the forest for the trees.
Alaska's Tongass National Forest is an amazing landscape of rainforest-covered mountains and islands that provide habitat for salmon, bear, deer, wolves, and the Alaska people who have spent decades seeing the forest as a source of income from logging.

The men's and women's 100 metre freestyle swimming races are set to be two of the most glamorous events of the London 2012 Olympic Games. Much has been made of the swimming events for London 2012 because the previous 2008 Beijing Olympics saw an unprecedented number of new world records, due to the use of controversial swimsuits. So how do these suits improve performance?
If you look at the pattern of rowers in a racing four or eight rowing boat then you expect to find them positioned in a symmetrical fashion, alternately right-left, right-left as you go from one end of the boat to the other. However, the regularity of the rower's positions hides a significant asymmetry that affects the way the boat will move through the water.
Recent discoveries have made it possible to control computer games by thought alone, or work out what kind of item someone is thinking about from their brain signals. And that's not all. Researchers were able to use brain scans to reconstruct what someone was looking at. In these experiments the scientists were literally able to see what people were thinking. A worrying thought, perhaps. But how did they do it?
Some things are so familiar to us that they are simply expected, and we may forget to wonder why they should be that way in the first place. Sex ratios are a good example of this: the number of men and women in the world is roughly equal, but why should this be the case? A simple mathematical argument provides an answer.
The Jerusalem Chords Bridge, Israel, was built to make way for the city's light rail train system. Its design took into consideration more than just utility — it is a work of art, designed as a monument. Its beauty rests not only in the visual appearance of its criss-cross cables, but also in the mathematics that lies behind it. So let's take a deeper look at it.
The number 1 can be written as a sum of unit fractions, that is fractions with 1 in the numerator. But how long can we make such a sum?

Times were different then — very different. I can't speak for the girls, who back then lived on another planet, but the activities in which we boys entertained ourselves were a far cry from those in use in the 21st century.
Iowa weather permitting, we were outside for hours at a time — playing any type of game imaginable from hide-and-seek to steal the bacon.
That's not counting the sports activity, which was primarily seasonal. I recall playing basketball in gloves and heavy coats while outside on a snow-packed driveway and football late in the fall with the white stuff on the ground. Snowball fights also were popular, as was tearing down the hills at the golf course on our sleds.
Pulling on boxing gloves enabled us to burn off our excess energy. I can't recall anyone getting mad — or hurt.
And we made things. Miniature planes and boats came in boxed kits that required only sandpaper and lots of glue. We didn't sniff the latter, knowing it would sting the nostrils.
Every house had a basement, and in ours were my dad's hand tools, of which I claimed half-ownership. There, we used various handsaws, a jigsaw and various shaping tools to construct all sorts of neat objects. Our specialty was small wooden boats, which we floated in the gutter for blocks after heavy rains.
And we rode bikes everywhere. All over town, out to the river a mile away, and when a little older to neighboring towns as far away as 20 miles over gravel roads. We even painted our bikes different colors, repaired our own flats, and staged races around the block — sometimes racing as many as 15 laps.
Someone came up with the idea of taking a bicycle wheel, removing the tire and the spokes, and, with a T-shaped stick of wood, rolling the rim down the street in a competitive foot race. It wasn't until years later that I saw a photo of that popular activity in about 1900. Heck, I thought we had invented the sport.
When it was really nasty outside, we entertained ourselves inside. Sometimes it was down in the basement with the lights off, sending Morse code with flashlights. Or something simple, such as working on jigsaw puzzles, either alone or with friends.
Today's youngsters have grown up in different times. Their toys are many, and yet most dwell on electronic gadgets that require no physical activity or mental input. Sitting on a soft couch while staring for hours at a screen is about as far from you can get from our activities so many years ago.
And yet I think we had more fun.
Back to class
Readers regularly using this column to enhance their level of education have told me they want more information that will encourage philosophical meditation. I'll do my best.
•Just two days from now, tomorrow will be yesterday.

From the mail bag
Mr. Swift: You recently wrote about Patterson's population growth and the problems such growth creates. Are you opposed to further growth in our fair city? — Perplexed
Dear Perp: First, let me thank you for using the prefix. The informality of our small community has seldom required the use of the term "mister." I'm used to answering to "Hey you!" and other salutations not printable in a community newspaper.
No, I'm not opposed to growth, as long as we don't delude ourselves into thinking that bigger is necessarily better. I don't happen to believe it is.
My contention is this: We need to make Patterson the best it can be NOW, without relying on growth to improve it. Because growth simply might not do the job.
And where do we need improvement? Everyone has his or her own list, and many who have shared their feelings with me have put improved public safety — make that a crackdown on crime — at the very top.
Growth certainly won't make us more crime-free without some real commitment from both local citizens and City Hall.
Just what we need
Californians have every reason to be pleased as punch over action taken this past year by our state Legislature.
One of the notable bills passed in 2012 was the selection of a state marine reptile. The lucky reptile is the Pacific leatherback sea turtle, obtaining this notable distinction as of Jan.1.
Remember this fact. It might someday appear on a test.
Email of the week
They just keep coming. Bob Vizzolini sent this one.
A Sunday school teacher asked, "Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark?"
"No," replied Johnny. "How could he with just two worms!"
Now, I think that's funny.
For the sports fan
Alex Smith is a very, very good pro quarterback. That is a given.
But somewhere along the line, 49er coach Jim Harbaugh figured that Colin Kaepernick was even better. After all, the coach has a better vantage point, better instincts for such matters, and probably his gut feeling operates at a higher level than that of the average fan.
Last weekend, Kaepernick proved his coach right. Kaep definitely is the better quarterback, and before he's done, he may well redefine how the game of football is played.
I haven't run across super Niner fan Steve Reza recently, but I'll bet he's more nervous — no, make that hyper — than usual this week.
On another subject, the saints came marching in. The other day, St. Anselm beat St. Rose 88-78, but of course you basketball fans already know that.
And finally…
Patterson native Rita Simas writes from out of town that she is saddened with the demise of the Knights of the Square Table, as detailed in last week's Fast Talk.
She termed the KOSTers "movers and shakers" and suggests the dice cups and payment record for coffee (more than $46,000 since 1984) be turned over to the historical society for perpetual memory.
Being the last secretary of KOST as well as curator of the local museum, I'll get on that.
