Church leaders join anti-corruption march
Senior church leaders from a broad spectrum of South Africa's churches today called on Christians to join the United Against Corruption march being organised by civil society groups for 30 September.
The leaders – including those from some of the largest Christian denominations – say their plea for members to join the march constitutes their first step in becoming more involved and vocal about justice for the poor in South Africa, and in ensuring that the country remains a viable state.
The United Against Corruption march will simultaneously take place at the Union Buildings in Pretoria and Parliament in Cape Town. A list of the leaders' names can be found at the bottom of this statement.
Rev. Moss Ntlha, one of the leaders and General Secretary of The Evangelical Alliance of South Africa, today said the march represents the people of South Africa taking responsibility for themselves and for what is going on in the country.
Not the first time
This is not the first time that senior clergy have taken issue with current affairs in South Africa. Twice in 2012 similarly constituted groups of leaders wrote strongly worded letters addressing the state of the nation. This transpired at the time of the ANC's centenary celebrations and after the Marikana massacre. The letters called for integrity in politics, social justice and an end to corruption.
"Twenty-five years ago we mobilised across the board to take responsibility for our country," Ntlha explained.
"Nowadays people have simply abandoned hope as they feel powerless to change anything. We believe ordinary citizens need to take responsibility again to make sure that corruption ends in every sphere of society. This includes churches, civil society, business and government and homes where men abuse their power against women and children. This is a comprehensive call.
"Every person who marches is doing an act of repentance, and is calling others to repent."
The most trusted institution
According to the Reconciliation Barometer, published annually by the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation, South Africans last year indicated their highest confidence levels in religious institutions and the Public Protector, and the lowest in political parties and the police.
On top of this, national research has shown that 81% of the population specifically regard the church as the most trusted institution, while at least 80% of the population claims to be Christian.
"We see this march as a time for Christians to take responsibility through confession, prayer, self-reflection; to turn towards justice and away from practicing corruption."
Ntlha says the leaders are not pointing fingers. They are in fact taking responsibility for South Africans' corporate corruption as citizens of a 21 year old democracy who claim to be 80% Christian.
"We acknowledge that many of our members are corrupt. So we can't judge anybody. We have to engage in a self-critical way. That is why, for us, the march signals a call to repentance.
"But secondly, if the church does not use the trust levels that it has to call for a different way of being South African, of respect for the constitution and basic responsibility, we may lose the opportunity to stop the country's downward slide. And from that we may never recover."
Faith and action
The church leaders called all Christians and people of faith in South Africa to participate through demonstrations and prayer everywhere in the country on the day of the march, and leading up to that day.
"Beyond the march we would like to see the emergence of a responsible South Africa and we believe the march signals the start of that possibility. We dream of a South Africa where citizens are not only accountable, but hold others accountable, whether they are in business or in government.
"We realize this will be work in progress."
"I am calling on the Church that we all stand up and say we will go to prison again; we will die again if any person gets victimized because of color, or for any other reason that contradicts our commitments to justice."
- Rev. Frank Chikane, 1980′s

A common thread provides the bond that draws three diverse couples together, ultimately leading to a friendship through which they explore the foibles of life and love in `Married To It,' an engaging look at contemporary relationships and perspectives, directed by Arthur Hiller. There's John and Iris (Beau Bridges and Stockard Channing), a jaded social worker and the wife of many years who sees him through it all, has given him two children (now preteens) and only of late has come to realize that he's given up on her and on life in general; Chuck and Nina (Robert Sean Leonard and Mary Stuart Masterson), an ambitious investment broker and his wife, a school psychologist; and Leo and Claire (Ron Silver and Cybill Shepherd), a toy manufacturer and his second wife, a sophisticated woman of society who is unable to make a connection with his daughter, Lucy (Donna Vivino). A school function and commitment to a committee bring them together, and they soon find that although they each compete in different arenas of life, they are in the end not so different from one another after all. In fact, they soon come to depend and rely upon their newly founded friendships more than any of them could ever have imagined possible. Hiller has crafted an emotionally stirring study of want, need and expectation that will be readily identifiable to just about anyone who has taken part in the game of life. And it's skillfully delivered through an outstanding ensemble cast, highlighted by the exceptional work of Stockard Channing, a gifted actress who seems to thrive in a project like this. She brings Iris to life from the inside out and creates that necessary connection with the audience that spills over onto the rest of the cast, all of whom deliver dynamic performances as well, most notably Cybill Shepherd as the aloof sophisticate who finally realizes what is really important in life. But what really makes this movie work is the depth of character that each of the actors involved brings to the core of the story. It's as if the derive energy and incentive from one another; and when actors can give as much as they receive, as they do here, it shows in the polish of the finished product. That they all worked so well together also reflects the skill of the director, and Hiller obviously did a fantastic job of creating an atmosphere in which his actors could excel. Rounding out the supporting cast are Don Francks (Sol), Jimmy Shea (Marty), Nathaniel Moreau (Kenny) and Diane D'Aquila (Madeleine). One of the great things about the video revolution is that terrific movies like this one, that for whatever reason go largely unnoticed in theatrical release, get a second life and with any luck the attention they so justly deserve. `Married To It' is a sleeper you should shout about from the rooftops; it's a well made movie with exemplary performances, a great story and a terrific ending. A film as good as this simply cannot be ignored, because this, my friends, is what movies are all about. This is one you have to see and tell your friends about. I rate this one 9/10.
Don't understand why critics hate this movie so much. Great cast, great
acting (excluding Cybill Shepard, but what can you do?), and different
angles used to show how marriage is different things to different people.
As a lifelong bachelor (no, I'm not gay), this movie gave me additional insight into marriages (besides the ones I've observed in real life), and sometimes reflected my experiences I have been through in long term relationships.
I really like this movie.
I loved it. But then you have to love this KIND of movie to enjoy it. It's not an epic motion picture, it isn't CGI laden, it's just a movie about people and the relationships and camaraderie they can form in spite of their vast differences. This is one of those movies where at least one of the characters is so you, someone you can really relate to. Sure it's not for everyone, but I enjoyed it.
This movie was a genuine attempt to bring people down to earth about
good old family values in a world where they seem to be less and less
relevant. The characters are seen to work real hard to deal with the
ups and downs of everyday life - The nuts and bolts that wear out as
time goes by. It is truly touching the way they end up supporting and
helping each other during tough times.
I give this movie a thumbs up because its characters have a sense of morality, I wish they had a bit more depth though. Over all the movie is a wonderful experience, for the whole family to enjoy. But it is not for everyone. This is one of those movies that some people will like and other will hate. Whether you like it or not will most likely depend upon what your parents taught you when you where kids. So give it a try. The 'f***' word is used at one point but I do not feel it makes the movie any less enjoyable for the family.
I have always been delighting Arthur Hiller's films and particularly such movies as "See No Evil, Hear No Evil", "Author! Author!" and "Outrageous Fortune". His comedies are kind and timeless and they can raise my mood always. "Married to It" is not typical Hiller's comedy. It's a film about relationships between people, about conceiving of a friendship between strangers, about differences between us and resemblances. It's very vital and clever story, here is very much funny and serious things, that we can to wonder. I very liked characters who play remarkable actors Beau Bridges, Stockard Channing, Robert Sean Leonard and Cybill Shepherd, they are real, charismatic and lovely.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I don't know what to make of this movie. Dubbing it into French might
help because it superficially resembles films by Éric Rohmer, except
that those films celebrate intelligent dialog that contrasts with the
contradictory behavior of the protagonists. There is nothing
intelligent in the speech of these characters.
Further, Rohmer uses movement in his films; this movie moves from set piece to set piece. The cast is terrific but trapped in a bad screen play with indifferent direction. That is a shame because Mr. Hiller directed some splendid films, including the great "The Americanization of Emily", the entertaining "Silver Streak" and the winsome "Romantic Comedy", all well worth seeing. That last film is witty, ironic, and playful the way a Rohmer film is.
The children's play around which the story emerges is a splendid interpretation of the enchanting song "The Circle Game" by Joni Mitchell. I wish the rest of the film had that charm. My rating is high because of that sequence.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I was lurking around my local rental store, and came across this. The
plot looked interesting, and the cast is what really intrigued me; what
a disappointment! This is a movie Tyler Perry would be foaming at the
mouth to do. I can't begin to tell you how stagy this feels. It didn't
feel like a movie; everyone felt phony to me, and I really couldn't
empathize with most of the characters. Most of them are very selfish
and abrasive people who I'd have no interest in spending time with what
so ever. The character I empathized the most with is probably a three
way tie between Ron Silver, Stockard Channing & Mary Stuart Masterson.
Most of them have problems that most marriages do. But the way they go
on about it is incredibly annoying. Beau Bridges and Cybil Shepherd are
the worst, though. Beau fantasizes about someone else's breasts whilst
Cybil can't understand children. Marriage is supposed to be about
honor, loyalty, trust, and respect among other things. It's one of the
reasons I am probably never going to get married because a lot of
married couples forget why they fell in love the first place. This
movie does a poor job of explaining it, but it still reaffirms my
thoughts about marriage. All the actors do well, but I couldn't
sympathize with most of them. The subplot between Nina (Masterson) &
Lucy (The daughter of Silver's) is probably the most likable thing in
the film. And of course there is the biggest cliché in the book. The
happy ending!
Final Thoughts: I got through it OK, but it's definitely a flop for a reason. It's unlikable, pretentious, and wastes an excellent cast. If you have nothing else to watch, maybe give it a go, but even then; that's pushing it...
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Three more or less happily married couples with absolutely nothing in
common except for their Manhattan zip code meet by chance and become
good friends. The numbskull title and corny scenario (each couple
survives a crisis which prompts them to re-evaluate the vow 'for better
or worse') ought to be enough to frighten off any self-respecting film
buff, but within the TV sit-com material is a modest and disarming
(light) comedy, with a well-chosen cast doing credit to roles which
could easily have become stereotypes.
Former Woodstock hippies Channing and Bridges fare best; 20-something yuppies Leonard and Masterson leave less of an impression because their characters are so unbelievable squeaky clean; and the talent of Ron Silver is mismatched to a lack of the same in Cybill Shepard, who at least delivers some great lines, providing evidence to the questionable notion that a bad actor never yet defeated a good script. The film is an optimistic, if entirely conventional, celebration of monogamy, friendship, family values, and happy endings, with the expected sentiment becoming too explicit only during the sappy, self-conscious climax, at a children's school pageant dedicated to the Summer of Love (complete with a freeze-frame peace sign finale).
Chuck and Nina Bishop grew up together in Iowa and have moved to New
York City, and they are the cutest couple. He is successful in the
investment world (though not too successful, since they can't afford
nice furniture yet), and she is a school psychologist. Chuck has to
compete with Jeremy, who is charming and cares more about money and
success than rules (which is truly ironic since Paul Gross later
impressed us as the impeccably straight mountie in "Due South").
John and Iris Morden were hippies and part of the 60s culture that protested injustice. He works in the welfare department and seems to have lost his enthusiasm. Former Mayor Ed Koch misses Iris but never says exactly what she did. She seems to work in some arts-related job now. The couple has two sons who appear relatively normal, though one has hair like Bart Simpson.
Leo runs a toy factory and apparently gave that a higher priority than his first wife Madeleine, who seems to despise him. He spends some time with daughter Lucy, who hates Leo's new wife Claire, a spoiled rich ... rhymes with witch.
These very different couples are brought together by a common interest--Lucy and the Morden boys attend the same exclusive school where Nina works.
All three couples have their problems, and for two of the couples the difficulties become serious enough to require lawyers.
I enjoyed this movie when it was funny, which was most of the time. I especially liked seeing Cybill Shepherd being obnoxious, acting like the whole world must cater to her every need and expressing surprise that not everyone has all the comforts and advantages. Donna Vivino was adorable as Lucy. Most of the leading actors gave good performances.
Where the movie had problems was in getting too dramatic. This would not be a bad thing for everyone who watches is, but I was watching to laugh. The ending, however, was satisfying.
Overall, I was happy.
Stockard Channing is the best actress in this film. Her character (Iris) develops a trajectory during the film: first is the help-line for the rest. Try to solve all the problems that everybody have but her own problem. After, Iris thinks about herself and look for a solution for her situation.The dialogues in the Town Hall party, explaining her feeling and demanding proper attention with "you are f***ing me but never kiss me" are very good. I recommend this film, with romantic but realistic point of view.

Read an Excerpt
Silk Dreams
By Diana Groe
Dorchester PublishingCopyright © 2007 Diana Groe
All right reserved.
Chapter OneThe Byzantine slave market buzzed like a swarm of drones in search of a new queen. The fresh shipment of potentials docked at the Imperial Shipyard in the sheltered recess of the Golden Horn. The women were driven from the relative safety of the caïque that had borne them to Constantinople, to be pinched and prodded up the winding alleys toward a pristine marble colonnade. Mindful that even drones have stingers, Valdis Ivorsdottir resisted the urge to scream when a bystander's inquisitive fingers brushed her body as she walked the narrow way.
The Frankish girl in front of her wobbled on her feet. Valdis reached out a hand to steady her. Last night the Frank's twin sister had died, whether from sickness or merely from willing herself to leave their floating Hel, Valdis could not be certain. When their Moorish captors consigned the dead body to the deeps of Middle Earth's great inland sea, the living twin had to be physically restrained from following her sister into the water. One of the traders seemed content to let her go, Valdis surmised from his animated speech, since her value as half of a matched set was severely diminished. But cooler heads prevailed, and the girl was kept from harming herself.
Now the Frankishmaiden stumbled toward the auction block, pale and drawn, obviously wishing for death, the poor remainder of a pair of pretty playthings. Valdis pitied her, but though she shared the girl's fate, she would not emulate her.
Valdis wanted her freedom, and to win that she had to live.
"Courage," she whispered, knowing the girl couldn't understand her. The Moorish traders had purchased Valdis on the wharf at Birka in the far North, and then wended their way along the continental coast, cherry-picking other pale blossoms as they traveled south. Her captors forcefully discouraged conversation among their prisoners. Still, a silent bond was forged. Tremulous smiles and small kindnesses knit the band of women together in their captivity.
After the first degrading intimate inspection to determine her purity, no one molested Valdis. Her captors provided opportunities for her to regularly wash herself and offered abundant food and drink. In fact, several women noticeably gained flesh during the long passage to Miklagard.
Valdis did not.
When she realized they were trying to round her sharp angles, she refused any more than was necessary to retain her health. If they compelled her to eat, she later slid a finger down her throat and emptied her stomach into the waves, letting her captors blame her illness on the pitching sea. As a daughter of the seafaring Norse race she suffered no such infirmity, but she would not allow herself the burden of excess.
The leanest runner travels swiftest.
But there was no place to run. All her life, she'd heard of the glories of Miklagard, the fabulously wealthy city in the sybaritic south. Now she saw only its squalor. Strange scents from the cramped streets of the Byzantine capital suffocated her, as the cloying sweetness of a decaying corpse mixed with the spicy pungency of Asiatic cooking. Bewildering sounds pierced her ear, the cacophony of endless tongues wagging in a babble of languages and the braying of Imperial horns.
Worst of all was the press of people.
She never imagined so many existed in all the nine worlds, let alone within the confines of this fortress city. Men of every imaginable color, black as jet, pale as moonstone, and every hue in between; turbaned, shaved bald as a brown egg, dark eyes overhung by brows that met in the middle, jaws fringed with curly beards dyed impossible shades of scarlet, or male faces as smooth and hairless as her own-there were too many variations to count. She confined her gaze to the slender back of the Frankish girl in front of her, but the bizarre images wormed their way into her mind through the corners of her eyes.
Valdis was hemmed in on all sides, kept wearily in line with the others.
There will come a time to run, she promised herself. Valdis let her eyelids sink briefly and imagined she was back in the Northlands, a fresh breath of snow from the mountaintop washing over her and the blue fjord shimmering in the land's deep green embrace. Perhaps Ragnvald's dragonship would be sliding into the harbor....
Her toe caught on a paving stone and she stumbled. Valdis snapped her eyes open. No more dreaming. It might bring on another fit, another nightmarish interlude in which she knew not where or who she was. She dared not risk it. By the Thunderer, the last one upended her life.
Ragnvald would never come for her again.
She took the Frank's icy hand and squeezed. The girl smiled thinly at her, gripping her as if Valdis were her only tenuous hold on this world. Valdis gained strength from bearing up her weaker companion and slid an arm around the girl's shoulders as they neared their destination. The women were bundled into the colonnade, separated into groups and penned like beasts with females from other vessels. Fat, smooth-faced keepers with curved blades dangling from their hips stood silent watch over them.
The Frankish girl was forced to the block first. Valdis hoped she wouldn't faint dead away. The trader rattled off a stream of words in praise of her charms, but he had to shout to be heard over the din. One after another, the women were sold like prize heifers at market.
Valdis couldn't watch. She sank in a heap and let the cool marble seep into her bones. If she allowed herself, she would weep for days at the shame of it.
No, she told herself with sternness. When her captor motioned her to the dais, Valdis straightened her spine. Whatever happened, she must be strong. She must not let anyone see. Her strange weakness had expelled her from her home.
If it were discovered here ... she didn't think there was much farther a body could fall.
Damian Aristarchus flicked the lion-tail whisk across his broad shoulders. It was a good thing the market opened early. By midday, the biting flies were vexing this close to the wharves.
He looked around at the other buyers, calculating the probable weight of their remaining coin. He'd made a few bids early on to drive up the prices without burdening himself with an actual acquisition. A signal from the emperor's chief eunuch excited other buyers and made them image qualities in the merchandise that weren't readily apparent. Damian merely wanted to lighten their purses so he'd have less competition by the time the auctioneer trotted out his most valuable specimens.
"See anything you like?" Publius asked, fingering the black pearl that bobbled from his left ear.
Publius kept watch over the harem of Habib Ibn Mahomet, a wealthy silk merchant from Cordoba who was visiting his wives and concubines at his sumptuous house in Constantinople at present. In the past few years, Mahomet had achieved a near monopoly on the lustrous fabric throughout the Empire and amassed the attendant prosperity such a coup brings. The silk magnate bore close watching.
What other intrigues has the Cordoban spun for himself? Damian wondered.
As serpentine as Mahomet's plans might be, Publius, by contrast, was easy to decipher. The fat eunuch always sought to ingratiate himself with his employer by procuring a new diversion for him.
Damian edged away from Publius. Even though Damian was himself a eunuch, he had little use for the unfortunates he dubbed "fat aunties." So often, those who'd been stripped of their manhood let the satisfaction of their bellies substitute for the lost pleasures of the love-couch. Each time he saw Publius, it seemed the man had ballooned even further. Publius was so grotesquely fat, Damian suspected he'd never be able to find his balls even if he still possessed them.
It had been ten years since Damian fell under the castrating knife, but he'd been a soldier before his unmanning. He prided himself on maintaining rock hard musculature and a flat belly. He knew it was a senseless conceit, especially as it took more effort with each passing season, but it appeased his vanity. If Damian couldn't act the man, at least he could still look it.
"The Nubian's a pretty piece," Publius said, working his way close to Damian again. "I'm surprised you didn't bid on her. You've been free enough with the emperor's coin today, though I notice you haven't actually bought anything yet."
"Don't worry," Damian said. "When the right one appears, I will." The stock was thinning, so he was sure the best was soon to come.
When Damian looked toward the dais again, the dusky Nubian was being led away with a majestic roll of her monumental hips. It might have been a mistake to miss her. Women of that country were reputed to possess unusual amatory skills, sly tricks of tiny muscles that could drive a man to his knees.
A new girl took her place.
"Too tall," Damian murmured. She'd easily be able to look him in the eye.
She towered above the Arab auctioneer, but despite her height, there was a fragile quality to her slender limbs. Her pale arms were already pinking in the hot sun.
"Too skinny. There's not enough flesh on that one to tempt a half-starved stray," Publius said with a snort.
"That's easily remedied." Damian shouldered past him to get a closer look. Straight as a horse's tail, the girl's hair fell to her waist, a cascade of ripened wheat. That alone accounted for her favored placement in the lot.
Experts could lighten a woman's hair, of course, but the result was usually a brassy hue that fought with the woman's skin tone and no matter how often she washed, Damian always fancied he caught a whiff of sheep urine wafting about the coiffure.
But this woman's hair was obviously natural, for it perfectly complemented her ivory skin and pale brows. Her face was far too angular to meet the standards of feminine beauty popular in Byzantium, but her features were at least harmonious and well-balanced. Her eyes were downcast, seemingly fascinated by her own long toes peeping from beneath the thin linen palla.
Then she suddenly raised her head and he was startled by her eyes. She looked out on the world through one eye as dark as the Nubian's, while the other was a pale blue tinged with violet.
Two souls in one body? Damian wondered. He'd heard of such things, but this was the first woman he'd seen with this unusual feature. Light and dark, angel and demon, such a one might be just what he required. From the corner of his eye, he caught Publius making the sign against evil.
That settled the matter. He would have this one, whatever the cost.
Erik Heimdalsson leaned against the marble column, bored with the market. Though it would be some time till the sun reached its zenith, he was already thirsty. It had taken him a while to develop a taste for the Christians' strong red wine, but now it called to him with regularity. He frowned with impatience at his friend. Erik and Hauk had squired the emperor around his holdings near Thessalonica for the past month, always on the alert for a threat against the divine presence. Now that Erik was back in the city, he had some serious drinking to catch up on. He resented Hauk for dragging him to this interminable auction.
"Why do you want to spend your silver on a woman, Hauk?" Erik demanded. "A whore is much cheaper, and you're not taxed with her keeping once she's fulfilled her purpose."
"Mayhap I'm tired of whores." Hauk signaled his willingness to part with more bezants for the girl than Erik would pay for one of those blooded Arabian stallions he'd been considering. "Besides," Hauk said with a shrug, "that one has the look of the fjords about her."
Erik cast a glance at the tall girl on the dais and then looked away. Against his will, his gaze was drawn back to her willowy form. The palla draped about her was thin as a butterfly's wing and the morning sun rendered it all but transparent. She stood ramrod straight, her high breasts full, nipples showing taut through the linen. There was a pleasing contrast between the girth of her waist and hips, and the outline of her long legs was shapely. He could see why Hauk was willing to part with his hard-earned coin for her.
His lips drew together beneath his pale mustache. A bed-slave might be fine for Hauk, but Erik had learned the hard way that a permanent attachment to a woman was a weakness a man could rarely afford. It had certainly cost him dearly.
"Careful, friend," Erik cautioned as Hauk's bid soared higher. "Better a clear, no-nonsense agreement with a willing woman of light virtue. No one gets hurt and everyone emerges from the tussle with exactly what they bargained for."
Hauk shook his head. "There comes a time in a man's life when he wants something more."
Erik had once had more. Or thought he did. Whenever Erik was tempted to try for more again, he remembered who he was and why he was in Miklagard.
He was Erik Heimdalsson, convicted murderer and banished son of the North. In this southern city, through his own valor he'd risen from the status of lowly tagmata to the rank of centurion in the Varangian Guard, the Byzantine emperor's elite force. Erik feared no man.
And trusted no woman.
Someone in the throng called out that the girl's high price demanded proof that her hair color was genuine.
"Oh, no, girl," Erik said under his breath as the young woman gripped the edges of her garment and struggled away from her captor. "Don't fight them."
The auctioneer reached again to remove the girl's palla and met with strenuous resistance. She backhanded the little man and sent him staggering. Erik smiled despite himself. Whether in warhorses, fierce hunting dogs, or the beautiful and cruel kestrel he'd bound to his fist and bent to his will, he admired spirit wherever he found it.
But this girl's spirit was going to earn her a beating. Erik's jaw tightened as a pair of eunuchs grabbed her arms and bore her away for discipline.
"A thousand pardons," the auctioneer stammered to the assembled buyers. "I beg your indulgence while this ungrateful odalisque is brought to a more biddable frame of mind."
The crowd fell into light gossip, awaiting the first blow, the first delicious shiver from the first spine-tingling scream. The traders wouldn't countenance their merchandise being spoiled by the lash, but cruel practice had presented them with a punishment designed to inflict maximum pain without damaging the appearance of the victim. Erik heard the stinging slaps of the bastinado and the grunts of the eunuchs who delivered the blows to the bottoms of the girl's feet. From the girl herself, he heard not a peep.
Erik ground his teeth as the punishment wore on. He'd seen grown men reduced to incoherent sobs by this type of beating, but the girl still didn't cry out. Erik fingered the handle of his battle-ax and imagined feeding the spineless worms who were abusing her to its sharp edges. The thought gave him pleasure, but the action would land him in prison. And a Miklagard gaol was far worse than banishment.
"Cry out, girl," Erik muttered. "It's what those cursed fuologi are waiting for."
The sounds of leather on flesh ceased and Erik guessed she'd passed out. A gasp rose from the assembly when the girl reappeared, visibly shaking, but walking under her own power. She mounted the dais, leaving a trail of slim bloody footprints on the rose-veined marble. White-lipped, she resumed her position in the center of the dais.
The auctioneer moved toward her, but she stopped him with a glare, her dark eye spitting fire and the pale one cold venom. He stutter-stepped back. Erik could almost imagine the girl a practitioner of seid craft, the way she shoved the man away with just a look. Then she turned her gaze on the crowd. Her contempt rolled over them in palpable waves.
She drew open her palla and let it float to the ground, pooling on the dais by her tortured feet. Her pale arms raised in a gesture that didn't have a smidge of submission in it. She dared them to look on her.
So Erik did. She was well worth seeing. From the crown of her head to the curve of her ankles, he found no blemish. Of course, the Byzantines liked their women rounder, but the triangle of pale curls on her mound would be novelty enough to pique their interest.
She certainly piqued his.
He forced himself to ignore the way his body quickened to her. No good could come of this, he told himself. Then she looked directly at him and held his gaze for the span of several heartbeats.
"Help me," she mouthed in the tongue of his homeland.

Arriving after a spectacular ferry trip, Bellagio is a village perfectly situated lakeside at the junction of all three legs of Lake Como, and the Hotel Silvio is the perfect place to stay. We had a well-appointed room with a private balcony overlooking the lake, where we enjoyed a spectacular sunset each day with a glass of red in hand. The restaurant was superb, starting with a welcoming Ciao and breakfast buffet each morning that was hard to beat. So much so that we found ourselves returning night after night to enjoy the evening's dazzling dining experience, and chef's recommendation. The village is an easy and picturesque walk lakeside, so it was great to leave the hassle of driving/parking behind and just enjoy all that Bellagio delivers: great local shopping, traditional italian coffee in the morning and Aperol Spritz & snacks in the afternoon at the many cafes and restaurants that line the shore. The staff at Hotel Silvio's were always friendly and helpful with any enquiry. What a spectacular introduction to the location!

Texas Rangers starting pitcher C.J. Wilson and catcher Taylor Teagarden were scratched from Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Indians because of food poisioning, the team announced.
Right-handed pitcher Colby Lewis and backup catcher Matt Treanor started in their places against the Indians. Relief pitcher Darren O'Day also has food poisoning, but his availability is unknown.
The Rangers said Matt Harrison will start Thursday against Cleveland, with Wilson possibly returning to the rotation Friday against the New York Yankees.
"I'm feeling a little better than yesterday but obviously not fanstastic," Wilson told ESPN 103.3 FM on Wednesday. "I've probably lost six to 10 pounds in the last 36 hours, so that's not good.
"It's kind of a freak thing. Five or six guys all ate some bad chicken sandwiches or something like that at the stadium. What do you know? Everybody enjoyed their off day. ... Our trainer did some investigating, and found out the common link. A couple of other guys are sick."
Rangers assistant general manager Thad Levine, who is with the club in Cleveland, told ESPNDallas.com that a few players and staff members had "symptoms consistent with food poisoning" on Tuesday morning. He said all of them are better, but that the team wanted to be careful with Wilson in particular because of the demands of a starting pitcher.
Wilson is coming off his first start since 2005 in which he pitched seven scoreless innings. He gave up five hits and struck out nine in a 3-1 loss to Toronto.
"We haven't determined when he gets reinstated into the rotation," Levine said. "... As much as I think he's willing to gut it out and go out there, we're eight games into the season and we've had an off day, so we can adjust to what we need to."
Richard Durrett covers the Rangers for ESPNDallas.com. You can follow him on Twitter or leave a question for his weekly mailbag.

Suspect in Mo. deputy shooting death apprehended
MINERAL POINT, Mo. (AP) – A man shot and killed a sheriff's deputy in Missouri early Saturday as emergency workers loaded an unconscious person into the back of an ambulance, authorities said.
Christopher Parsons, who became a deputy in October, was shot and killed while responding to a call around 2 a.m. about an unconscious person near Mineral Point, a community of roughly 350 residents about 80 miles southeast of St. Louis, said Missouri State Highway Patrol Trooper Juston Wheetley.
"As they were loading (the unconscious person) into the back of the ambulance they were ambushed," Wheetley said. He said investigators don't know of any motive.
Wheetley said the shooting suspect, Gary Sancegrow, 30, of Mineral Point, was taken into custody without incident at about 5:15 p.m. He said people who knew Sancegrow brought him to a checkpoint that law enforcement had set up in the Mineral Point area.
The suspect had run into a heavily wooded area after the shooting and was wearing camouflage clothing, Wheetley said.
Wheetley said Sancegrow was the only suspect being sought in the death.
Several law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service, had joined in the search, which had been going on all day Saturday. The sheriff's department also had put up a $2,500 reward for information leading to Sancegrow's arrest.
Wheetley said it was unclear if the reward prompted Sancegrow's arrest.

text: Profit from Dow 55,000 As I mentioned before, Dow 55,000 isn't a price target for next year or the year after. It's a very long-term target that's based on the runs stocks have made in the last two similar periods to today. But now is absolutely the time to get your portfolio positioned for the upside. The simplest way to profit from Dow 55,000 is to buy stocks as a group. Major index exchange-traded funds such as the SPDR S&P 500 ETF ( SPY) or the PowerShares QQQ Trust ( QQQ) may not be very sexy, but they give you instant exposure to a diversified equity portfolio with very low fees. That said, this is very much a stock picker's market. Aside from general stock buying, one of the best ways to play this trend is by honing in on fundamentally solid names that everyone else hates. Heavily shorted stocks have the potential for a short squeeze as sentiment turns, and that's more than just an old wives' tale; my research shows that buying heavily shorted large and mid-cap stocks (the top two quartiles of all shortable stocks by market capitalization) and rebalancing monthly over the last decade would have beaten the S&P 500 by 9.28% each and every year. That's some material outperformance during a decade when decent returns were very hard to come by. That makes names such as Garmin ( GRMN), Intuit ( INTU) and even high-flying Chipotle Mexican Grill ( CMG) look pretty attractive in the years ahead. I'm the first to admit that Dow 55,000 sounds like a crazy price target for stocks right now. But with so many factors lining up to suggest another generational buying opportunity for stocks right now, it'd be just as crazy not to position your portfolio for it in 2013. -- Written by Jonas Elmerraji in Baltimore.

Soprano hits high snobby note
Regarding the Dec. 21 article, "Brightman cancels Everett gig, to perform in Seattle instead": I get the feeling that Ms. Brightman's (formerly Mrs. Andrew Lloyd Webber) March concert cancellation at Comcast Arena in favor of a later appearance at the Paramount in Seattle, after giving it a little thought, feels that Everett is just too much of a "hick town" to appreciate her musical talents. Just my opinion... .

Page 4 of 6
GANGS OF NEW YORK (R) Though Martin Scorsese's historical epic has a more conventional plot line than his more morally ambiguous, violence-soaked films, Gangs of New York is no small feat. A vortex of crime and corruption based on the real life mire of 1800s Manhattan street gangs, Gangs is a smarter than average epic, though far short of Scorsese's best work. Its greatest saving grace is a brilliantly charismatic, psychopath leader of the Native gang, Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day-Lewis) whose often justified guttersnipe rage far outshines the milquetoast heroism of his Irish gang rival played by Leonardo DiCaprio.--FF
GODS AND GENERALS (PG-13) Ted Turner Pictures offers a would-be epic of the first two years of the Civil War that feels like it was shot in real time. Gettysburg writer-director Ronald Maxwell does a fine job at battlefield reenactment, especially for the extended sequence of Fredericksburg, but has no clue how to make such figures as Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson (Stephen Lang) into intriguing characters. The film's tedium is easier to forgive, though, than its whitewashing of the institution of slavery, which here merely seems like a bad career choice.--CH
HEAD OF STATE (PG-13) If there was ever a time when we could use a raucous political satire to shake things up, this is clearly that time. Unfortunately, Head of State clearly isn't that movie. Rather than grab the political bull by the horns (think Bulworth or Bowling for Columbine), Chris Rock is content to make a comedy that could easily play on network TV as a pilot for a proposed sit-com. (My Big Fat Freak Election, anyone?) Still, for a movie that traffics in timidity rather than temerity, this offers a handful of inspired gags, as well as charismatic roles for Rock and Bernie Mac as siblings who run for the Oval Office. -- MB
HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS (PG-13) Kate Hudson's magazine columnist puts her ideas about feminine dating mistakes to the test with Matthew McConaughey, who believes he can win any woman in 10 days. Though predictable to a fault, the romantic comedy wrings a certain charm out of the formula and takes a couple of well-placed stabs at the genre in the process.--TB
THE HOURS (PG-13) Stephen Daldry's splendidly literate film uses Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway to unite three women, cutting between the day Woolf (Nicole Kidman) is writing it, a 1950s housewife (Julianne Moore) is reading it, and a 2002 book editor (Meryl Streep) is somehow living it. The film's increasing reliance on theatrical monologues means the pay-off doesn't equal the brilliant set-up, but its nevertheless a lush, rich film experience, with Kidman donning a prosthetic nose and being more liberated as an actress than she's ever been.--CH
THE HUNTED (PG-13) A U.S. trained assassin (Benicio Del Toro) starts giving hunters a lethal taste of their own medicine until his old mentor (Tommy Lee Jones) tracks him down. Supposedly a trip-wire killing machine, del Toro instead seems bored and skeptical, as if he can't believe this is the best he could do after his Oscar for Traffic. Jones gives an unexpectedly vulnerable performance, but his presence and the unimpressive stunts only make us pine for The Fugitive. "Be vewy quiet. I'm hunting Dew Towo."--CH
IMAX Whales (NR) Follow orca, blue, humpback, right whales and dolphins through oceans around the globe in this doc narrated by Patrick Stewart. Through May 23. Coral Reef Adventure (NR) Ocean explorers Howard and Michele Hall journey to some of the world's largest, most beautiful and most endangered coral reefs. Through Sept. 1. Fernbank Museum of Natural History IMAX Theater, 767 Clifton Road. www.fernbank.edu.
IRREVERSIBLE (NR) Gaspar Noe's technically accomplished exercise in brutality is like watching a one-hour snuff film with a final third of "normal" behavior. A la Memento, we see the major scenes in reverse order, including a nine-minute rape of a beautiful woman (Monica Bellucci) that may be the ugliest such sequence ever shot. Noe's cheap misanthropy proves a weak justification for such unsparingly repellent material, which ultimately rests on such thin ideas as "Revenge is self-defeating" and "Hindsight is 20-20."At Lefont Plaza Theatre.--CH
THE JUNGLE BOOK 2 (G) Disney continues to make unnecessary sequels to its classic cartoon features, with Mowgli (Haley Joel Osment) returning for another rumble in the jungle. John Goodman is a natural choice to replace Phil Harris as the laid-back Baloo, but what's next? Sleeping Beauty Hits the Snooze Button?
THE LIFE OF DAVID GALE (R) A reporter (Kate Winslet) races the clock to learn whether a condemned "death penalty abolitionist" (Kevin Spacey) was framed for murder. The preposterous sleuthing provides a weak vehicle for the film's anti-capital punishment boilerplate. The flashbacks about how the Spacey character's life was ruined by false accusations and politically correctness play better, but the actor still hasn't rediscovered the icy charisma that drove his work before his American Beauty Oscar.--CH

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Oct 01st, 2005
Running Time: 101
Director: Jeff Phucksum
Company: Trashy Entertainment
Cast: Raven Black (II), Amber Wild (I), Richard Mann, Sarah Jay
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Pro-Am
The concept of white wives riding big black dicks to cuckold their husbands is a good one, though unfortunately the execution here isn't so good. Only the opening scene starring Sara Jay and Richard Mann actually features the cuckolded husband watching helplessly as his wife gets nasty, which definitely adds a dramatic kink to the affair.
In the other three scenes, the girls merely talk to the camera as if they are cuckolding the viewer. Two scenes feature the striking Raven Black; the first is pretty good and climaxes with the old "cum in a glass" routine, but for the second she's briefly in a threeway when Parrish joins in, but then he disappears before the pop shot?!? Amber Wild wears a dog collar and licks cum from a doggie dish in another scene where a decent concept is torpedoed by weak acting. Poor editing and production values don't help either.
Retailing: Stock with interracial titles.

Hello, I hope someone here is willing to help me out with my sql problem.
I've got three tables, each table is linked with each other by the field product_id.
I want to select all unique product_id's from Table1 which have been generated between two certain dates (dates are in Table2).
So far no problem, I wrote this sql statement:
But I also need to retrieve a certain field ('Pr_orderid') from Table3, I haven't got a clue how to retrieve this field though since I allready have a select statement in my sql query.Code:SELECT DISTINCT product_id From Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table2.product_id=Table1.product_id INNER JOIN Table3 ON Table3.product_id=Table1.product_id where DATE(Table2.date_added)>='2014-02-01' and DATE(Table2.date_added)<='2014-03-01' Order by Table2.date_added DESC
How can I build in an extra select statement for this Table3 field ?

A lightning rod is very simple -- it's a pointed metal rod attached to the roof of a building. The rod might be an inch (2 cm) in diameter. It connects to a huge piece of copper or aluminum wire that's also an inch or so in diameter. The wire is connected to a conductive grid buried in the ground nearby.
Lightning rods provide a low-resistance path to ground that can be used to conduct the enormous electrical currents when lightning strikes occur. If lightning strikes, the system attempts to carry the harmful electrical current away from the structure and safely to ground. The system has the ability to handle the enormous electrical current associated with the strike. If the strike contacts a material that is not a good conductor, the material will suffer massive heat damage. The lightning-rod system is an excellent conductor and thus allows the current to flow to ground without causing any heat damage.

Video: Cop rescues mother, children in Kenya mall attack
A plainclothes officer guided the terrified family to safety as terrorists are heard yelling in the background
By Anthony Bond
The Mirror
NAIROBI, Kenya — A woman and her children were playing dead on the ground after gun-wielding terrorists stormed the Nairobi shopping center and began killing shoppers.
A police man inside the building spotted the trio and bravely decided to rescue them. As he gets close to the mother, he taps her on the shoulder. But clearly terrified and shocked by what she has witnessed, she is reluctant to leave.
Eventually, the man persuades the woman to go with him. As the children get up from the ground, one of them looks directly at the camera in tears.

I have a question about HTML. I know that there is this mechanism that wouldn't allow users to get a direct access to a web-page unless they enter a password and a name. What's the HTML code for that?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
There's a manual section in PHP describing how to output HTTP headers that force an HTTP Auth. You can't do it with HTML alone.
Personally I'd prefer the
PS: Getting pretty cold 'round here.
HTML is used to format information and present it, not do logical operations like authentication. For this you need to configure server settings (google .htaccess permission) or use a scripting language like PHP etc.
As others have answered, you would have to do your work server-side for authentication. I saw that you mentioned that you "bumped into an HTML code" that was doing password "stuff." Are you sure you weren't referring to the HTML Password Field Form? This is a field to hide a password that is being typed. However, as Devin said, this is only for presentation. The real work has to be done elsewhere.

An Ulysses Light Mover. This one is MAXED out on the weight limited. Yet she still runs like a CHAMP!
Satisfied Customer Video
A customer put this video up! It's not only colorful, but you can see an AgraMover Light Mover at work!
This is what the description of the video entailed.
Garden with Twister, Pineapple fields, Huckleberry Kush, THC Bomb and Tutankhamon. Perfect Sun 1000 uses 520 watts but outputs equal or better PAR than a 1000W hps. This light has a great spectrum and puts out a nice white light. Spectrum is complete including IR and UV, heavy on blue and really heavy on red. Check out the spectrum at the growpotcheaply link. I received this light to demo a grow and was given no other instruction. So any words or opinions are mine and I stand by them. The light intensity is too high unless mounted far enough away, so I chose a light mover. This allows decent coverage and a higher light intensity hanging the light about 18″ above the canopy. After this vid I shifted the plants to better use available light.
This particular video is just an intro with no words. Other video will be added to show different features of the light and the grow room progress. The light to the right is a 600W hps and the LEDS to the left are Eshine 3W x 150 LEDs (265W draw)

Here's a job we recently completed, it was for moving lights over the pool at The Toronto Aquatic Sports Center.
When the architects that were designing the Pan Am Aquatic Sports Center in Toronto Canada, they approached us about designing a system so they could move the lights over the huge pool to a cat walk.
*The idea is to enable their crews to change bulbs from the catwalk without having to rig up scaffolding etc.*
Since AgraMovers run on strut channels, we were able to come up with a system that could do the job and could be easily adapted to their structure with standard fittings and procedures.
Many colleges and universities have employed our systems into their greenhouses and indoor warehouse growing facilities. The University of Minnesota that wrote the textbook for self contained ecological system has not only used our systems, but based a study on them.
AgraMover made its way over to Russia. We did a project for a guy in Moscow. Here are a few of the pictures.

I ordered this rug on Sunday, it was delivered on Wednesday! The rug is great. The background in the picture appears a bright off white - it's actually much darker but that works well against the light tile floor. No shedding, nice and thick- highly recommend this rug.
It is a beautiful carpet, but not what I was looking for so had to return it. It is thicker and heavier than it looks so don't be fooled. Not for a lighter style.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
From our August issue: Clinical-Style Validation,...
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) obtained exclusive, worldwide rights to Idenix Pharmaceuticals' Phase II HIV treatment with an initial payment of $34 million. Idenix will be eligible to receive up to $416 million in development, regulatory, and sales milestones.
Under the terms of the license, GSK will assume all development responsibility and associated costs for IDX899. If successfully developed and commercialized, Idenix will receive double-digit, tiered worldwide royalties.
The $34 million up-front payment by GSK to Idenix was split evenly between cash and the purchase of Idenix common stock at $6.87 per share. Idenix closed yesterday at $6.45 and opened trading today at $6.74.
IDX899 is a novel non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. To date it has demonstrated high potency with low milligram doses, a high barrier to drug resistance, favorable risk/benefit profile, and the convenience of once-a-day administration, according to the companies.
This transaction will allow Idenix to focus on its HCV assets, which include drug candidates from the three major classes of direct-acting HCV antivirals. IDX184 is a nucleoside polymerase inhibitor in Phase I/II studies. IDX136 and IDX316 belong to the firm's protease inhibitor discovery program and will soon begin IND-enabling pharmacology and toxicology studies. IDX375, a non-nucleoside inhibitor, is also in IND-enabling studies.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?
