Posted on 12/10/2011 5:45:05 AM PST by Perdogg
Charles Holt, 62, spreads a cache of vintage government records across his trailer floor. They are the stark facts of his state-ordered sterilization.
The reports begin when he was barely a teenager, fighting at school and masturbating openly. A social worker wrote that he and his parents were of rather low mentality. Mr. Holt was sent to a state home for people with mental and emotional problems. In 1968, when he was ready to get out and start life as an adult, the Eugenics Board of North Carolina ruled that he should first have a vasectomy.

Obama voters?
Warning to the future?
Yet we have a democratic supported life style of single moms with 10 kids on public assistance.
Not surpised to see Margaret Sangers name as a supporter of this.
Note, this all started around the same time the Nazis came to power in Europe.
Throw in a few million 3d generation brood sows, random sperm donors and pedophiles and you've got a good start.
I saw something on the history channel how this was practiced by the Nazis.
this is not all a bad thing here, needing gene pool cleaned
When are the welfare slave owner/creators going to give restitution for the burden on society they create?
No, it started before, in the teens and twenties, and inspired the Nazis to some extent, who then took it to an industrial scale to the point of killing those deemed undesirable outright.
State eugenics boards were fairly common as were state-ordered sterilizations. It was regarded as a progressive, enlightened thing at the time, but is painted as being anything but now. The progressives have now progressed to just killing them in the womb, and are horrified at the actions of their ideological predecessors, feigned by the knowledgable among them, genuine among the naive.
Low mentality and masturbating in public? I thought the story was about Rosie O'Donnell there for a minute.
-——this is not all a bad thing here, needing gene pool cleaned-——
Certainly you fogot the sarcasm tag?
Are saying that what these states did was okay? I thought freepers were pro-life anti-death panels maybe I was wrong.
Everything I've read says that consent was signed, either by self or parent. They got free sterilization surgery; mine cost over $4000.
"... not all a bad thing here, needing gene pool cleaned".
Who would decide if someone was sterilized or not? Would it be some government committee? If so, do you think that rural people, people who are Christian, people who have moral values... won't be targeted? This type of power should never be given to a government nor should it be seen as a good thing. IMHO.
,,,,,,, like I said
There was actually a medical journal, "Journal of Eugenics" published in the early 1900s. One university I attended had the entire publication run of that journal in the library. I remember picking one up and thumbing through it; unfortunately, I do not remember what I read there.
Eugenics was considered the wave of the future, until the Nazis came along. Its adherents then changed its name, but the belief system is still with us.
"... consent was signed, either by self or parent".
Did you read the article? One so called "Dad" signed the permission form for his daughter. The same daughter he had been sexually abusing since 12. Were you sterilized before you had children or at 18? Or, did you willingly choose to go through a medical procedure based on your own free will and nothing else held above your head?
This has the telltale marks of Margaret Sanger thinking all over it. Nowhere in the article is the ethnic background of the subject mentioned, but given the times and the location, almost certainly he was of African descent.
Margaret Sanger was a great proponent of curbing or even eliminating the "taint" of African blood from America, and confining any who were still "tainted" to Africa. Which was probably one of the great motivations for creation of the country of Liberia on the west coast of Africa.
Liberal "progressive" ideas appear to resemble mental derangement more and more all the time.
There was a series of letters exchanged, between a contributor to that journal and the Nazi regime. I forget the names. But, there is a clear indication that the eugenics movement in the United States was regarded as a model by the Nazis, who implemented it themselves and then some, eventually to a monstrous scale of killing outright. That's why eugenics is now a dirty word among those who still advocate it, and why the name "Planned Parenthood" came into being. Look into the name of that organization before.
I'm a North Carolinian born and bred, lived here most of my life and know the family names pretty well. Holt is and was a prominent name in the Alamance County region. Textiles. If there are any black people with that surname there aren't a lot of them. They weren't notable for slaveholding in the antebellum era.
In any old, large family, even a prominent, wealthy one, there will be branches that fell into poverty, some hanging on as genteel poor but some just ground into the dirt by circumstance with the attendant ignorance, destructive behavior and all the generational consequences of that. The Civil War and the depressions that followed certainly helped the process along. So, I'm not at all certain Mr. Holt is black.
The state eugenics board in NC did not focus solely on black people. There were homes for "wayward girls" run by or affiliated with the board and the state mental institutions had a hand as well. I would be surprised if it even showed a preponderance of sterilizations among black people on a percentage basis.
NC was one of the early "leaders" if you can stomach calling it that, trying to shed the Rip Van Winkle image of the state as a sleepy backwater that time had passed by. This they did with a vengeance. But, California put the efforts of NC to shame. Many other states were avidly into eugenics as well.
"... I thought freepers were pro-life anti-death panels.. maybe I was wrong".
I think secretly that many so called freepers would support this type of activity today simply as a way of limiting undesirables. IMHO, what they are failing to see if the term "undesirable" is not set in stone... it can be expanded to include anyone the government doesn't want. I am all for limiting welfare so that people don't keep having children in order to obtain more government money. What I will never support is a panel or agency that sterilizes people. Planned Parenthood relies on some of the same sentiment that I read here this morning. A consent form was signed by the person or parent, and a child born to a poor person is destined to be a drain on society. Hence, some people are "better" than others and the ones who don't fall into a approved category are better off not being alive.
I used to go to a great site called "Blackgenocide.org"
I see it has fallen down the memory hole...
hold on, hold on, hold, what the frig is NC doing with a Eugenics Board? Has anyone ever heard of this? Do other states have these?
WTF......is this Nazi Germany? America should NEVER have a Eugenics board!!!!!!
Then it becomes...your not pretty enough, you don't have good grades, you are not open minded enough, you are predisposed to cancer...etc.....................................
Very dangerous
My sentiments as well...
In times past society practiced a form of "eugenics" in the fact those persons called "father" (I know archaic nowadays) would not allow their daughters or sons to marry potential "undesirables" and procreate a line of dysfunctional offspring or misfits ...I know I've tossed a few out the front door myself...
Also the lack of a massive welfare state in times past lent itself to some self control except for the really ignorant or stupid...
Giving ANY level of government ANY control over our ability to procreate is evil ...
It's not convenient for the left to highlight their historic complicity with genocide. Eugenics must be painted as right wing, and so must Nazism. And so they are.
You're absolutely right.
A more ethical solution is to require Norplant or an IUD immediately placed in any woman of child bearing age and teenaged female dependents when she seeks any food stamps, welfare or Section 8 housing. If you cannot support the children you have, you cannot be allowed to have more.
If you get off the welfare teat, the implant comes out. No abortions, no permanent sterilizations, no more "I can't work because I just had another baby".
Reverse able of course. If you later can afford to have it reversed, you will be fiscally able to support children. This doesn't stop procreation, it limits it to a sustainable rate. Uncontrolled growth is a characteristic of cancer. Over breed your resources and war, mass disease, starvation, and death are sure to follow
Is it better to prevent horrid misery on a massive scale, or just let em have at it?
Is that the same "Dad" folks want to be legally required to give permission for a minor female child to buy RU486?
(don't bite down hard on every shiny thing that floats by. I'm just playing the devil's advocate. )
I wanted to get sterilization from the moment I became aware. This was in NC. Being "unbred", I would have been required to attend several expensive "counseling sessions" that I could not afford. I had to wait some 20 years for mentality to change. In 1989 my employer's insurance company paid in full.
No child that I would have produced would have had a chance of becoming a productive member of society. I know that because I was blessed with a relatively high I.Q. Not every female has good motherhood opportunity, potential or inclination. Women who love being mothers don't seem to understand or accept that fact.
It started before the Nazis. The Germans adopted it about the same time as most everyone other civilized country. It was very in vogue as a science right then. It still exists, but no longer as a unified science.
There are two sides to Eugenics. The first is the elimination from the human genetic pool of serious defects, which is a very attractive idea to the medical community, because they are the ones who have to deal with the human casualties and suffering caused by bad genes.
For example, the last recent effort at wiping out bad genes was not done through sterilization, but by homicide, in France. Hemophilia, the "bleeding disease", is genetic, and expensive, requiring human blood clotting factor injections. So quite consciously, the head of the French medical authority exempted HIV screening from the preparation of human blood clotting factor injections.
This ended up killing the vast majority of the hemophiliacs in France with AIDS. France is now hemophilia free. The man responsible was sent to prison, but he considered his actions "worth it", to rid France of that disease.
The problem with such efforts is that they are very prone to corruption. In the US, "sterilization courts" were instantly corrupted, both sterilizing poor people with no real political representation, with an emphasis on, but not limited to black people; while those who were textbook examples of people who needed to be sterilized by the rules, but whose families had wealth and influence, would be free to keep and use their fertility.
The most extreme examples of this form of Eugenics are found in socialist and national socialist genocidal schemes, one of the more recent by Paul R. Ehrlich, whose "The Population Bomb" was an earlier version of Man Made Global Warming. He wanted to sterilize most of the people in the world, hoping to do so by contaminating food and water. He "conscientiously" decided against this idea, because it could harm farm animals, which he liked.
The other side of Eugenics is much less well known. It is the selective breeding of people to produce better people, howsoever that is defined.
One of its most successful examples was not based on science so much as by the good guesses of the leader of an idealistic commune of northwest European immigrants in western New York State in the 1840's. By distancing marriage and reproduction, he was able to breed several dozen American leaders in diverse fields before his commune disintegrated.
They were fortunate in that they had also quickly reached the saturation point for inbreeding, resulting in a bunch of bad recessive traits coming out, if they had continued.
More recently, the Chinese have attempted selective breeding among their elite classes, but this is not doing well, as their genetic pool is too small, and genetics is far from being understood well enough to intentionally breed for intelligence, strength or health, without guessing.
I'm deaf. Damn straight they didn't focus on just blacks. They focussed on 'undesireables', of which I am one.
Why don't we just pay for their abortions?
So let me ask you a personal question. If you didn't want to be a mom, why did you need an operation to get yourself fixed?
Well, no, to fall into the chillingly blunt, utilitarian language of those times, you would have been termed a "defective."
"Undesireable" pertained more to behavior.
That, btw, is what made me a Christian. I read Darwin's essay on human sex selection, he spares no bones about how my defect should be purged from the gene pool. What matters little is the how, only that it was done.
Good to know who your enemies are, but gosh if that wasn't a wakeup call.
"Not every female has good motherhood opportunity, potential or inclination".
What you chose may be good for you. However, YOU chose this. No government group or state board of "undesirable eliminators" chose for you. You weren't "selected for sterilization" based on race, religion, I.Q., family history, medical predispositions etc... "Women who love being mothers don't seem to understand or accept that fact".... I do. I understand that motherhood/fatherhood isn't for everyone. However, that decision should be made by the individual NOT by another group.
"A more ethical solution is to require Norplant or an IUD immediately placed in any woman of child bearing age and teenaged female dependents when she seeks any food stamps, welfare or Section 8 housing. If you cannot support the children you have, you cannot be allowed to have more.
If you get off the welfare teat, the implant comes out. No abortions, no permanent sterilizations, no more I cant work because I just had another baby."
You gotta have sex with me. Even if you get preggers, the state will just give you contraceptives, and support you. What's the downside?
Great policy, btw.
It's really Machiavellian, the way the left is going about these things in the wake of having the curtain pulled back on them during the Nazi era. Now, it's all subterfuge, beneath the radar, say one thing and do another. Trying to collapse the hated existing order with elaborate and costly accomodation regardless of logic or consequence and turning to kind euphemisms in order to create the impression of actual support for those with physical handicap, while all the while advocating the abortion of infants with any indication of those same handicaps.
Yes, they want to destroy people with limitations, but are restrained by public opinion. That opinion is being successfully shaped, though. We're witnessing the extension of this nihilist philosophy, from abortion to euthanasia, from euthanasia to withholding medical care from the aged, and food from the incapacitated. The day is coming when political and religious belief will be in the crosshairs as well. It certainly has been in the not-so-distant past.
Well the religious will get the crosshairs for standing up to the state and for the weak and the helpless, because the left knows that if we rely on God, then we don't rely on them.
I remember growing up, how unusual it was that I was even schooled, because the thinking at the time was that I was better off not being educated. My mother had to fight for years just to get me admitted.
Now I'm not sure she made the right decision, but I am thankful for my education. I think I would have done better at home, but my sacrifice helped my brothers and proved that folks with disability could be integrated successfully into the classroom.
But I won't say that it wasn't a struggle. I think they only time I was ever HAPPY was when I was in grade 11 and 12, when I finally got taken out of the regular folks and put in the equivalent of advanced placement. They said they would consider anyone based on merit. This was a huge way out for me.
This view, however, is becoming more prevalent as time goes on. I'm seeing increased hostility towards anyone 'rising above their station'. People are happy with the disabled folks stuck in a little box off to the corner. They are LESS happy seeing one use his God-given talents to help other people in a very visible fashion.
The Nazis actually admired the American version and mainstreamed it.
Some history here.
I've met several at the door while wearing a well-filled shoulder holster -- and no jacket.
For undesirable suitors, that was usually the last visit. The "winners" greeted me with. "Hey, is that a H-K?" '-)
They did not have the intellectual capacity to understand the procedure. I would suggest you read all of the article to se that they were threatened, were you?
There are a multitude of REAL Issues/Problems related to this subject, some of which are:
(1) irresponsible behavior by certain people leading to unplanned/unwanted/unsupportable pregnancies tends to be passed on to their offspring, thereby creating even more unplanned/unwanted/unsupportable pregnancies
(2) not having an inverse relationship between number of unplanned/unwanted/unsupportable pregnancies and public provided financial support nor any sort of serious prevention procedures has created a whole sub-culture of baby factories for $$$ ("welfare") which is promoted by those well meaning but mentally deficient liberals who have legislated increasing benefits vs number of unplanned/unwanted/unsupportable pregnancies (ie "reach the threshold of 3 kids and we'll upgrade your housing allowance from a two bedroom apartment to a three bedroom house").
(3) I fail to understand how reproducing is a fundamental human right, if it is going to infringe seriously on others. If a person has no obvious ability, (mentally, morally or financially), to successfully create a productive, contributing member of our society, who will NOT need assistance from the rest of us for their entire life, then why should we NOT have the ability to withhold that activity for the sake of us all?
There was a time when frivolous procreation was frowned upon and even discouraged. The great Liberal movement of the 20th century eliminated those restrictions and now we live in a society that freely kills millions of human beings annually.
Isn't it a FAR better thing to PREVENT unplanned/unwanted/unsupportable pregnancies than it is to kill millions of unplanned/unwanted/unsupportable HUMAN BEINGS?
We're already doing that. I prefer to prevent unwanted uncared for fertilizations BEFORE they happen
Why bother? Isn't the outcome the same?

I've purchased 8,000 shares in the last few days. Looking for a great return on investment here.
If you really are 20 yo, you'll be a millionaire at 40 if you keep it up.Check out WSCI also $ $2.55...Nasdaq's WSCI will release its earnings report in the next few days. WSCI is a consistently profitable, low-float, dividend-paying small company with huge upside. Its precision machining business is booming lately, particularly in the recreational vehicle area. WSCI reminds me a lot of HURC which has gone from $3 to $13 in six months. WSCI moves explosively with even a minor buying pressure because of its very low, and tighly-held float. Take a look at the big jump in April when the company announced that it has purchased a larger manufacturing facility to accomodate current/future increased demand for its products/services. http://stockcharts.com/gallery?wsci WSI Industries, Inc. is a contract manufacturer that specializes in the machining of complex, high-precision parts for a wide range of industries, including recreational vehicles, defense and national security, avionics and aerospace, computers, small engines and other markets. *** WSCI Highlights: WSCI is Consistently profitable. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=WSCI WSCI pays Dividends. Last 2 quarters it paid $0.0375/share/quarter. Small market cap of only $6 million. There are only 2 million shares on the float Strong balance sheet with $3/share stockholders' equity. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bs?s=WSCI&annual Currently trading well below book value. As I said before business is strong lately. During the last quarter the company had its biggest orders from the recreational Vehicle industry. Winnebago, Thor industries, Fleetwood posted hefty gains on their morst recent quarterly earnings reports.

Do what you love and the money will follow.

A third way to discover our own individual action plans is to list our values, and then determine how we can demonstrate these clearly and consistently in our live. A sculptor friend of mine took a part-time job as a carpenter to pay his bills. But he soon found out that it was essential to include sculpting in his daily life. He had to keep the value of art alive for himself and stay committed to what he really was in his own eyes -- an artist.

Self-acceptance does not come about in practice overnight. Neither does learning how to be patient with ourselves. But if we have any hope of finding a dream vocation or career, we must be on good terms with our hearts, so that we can discover what it is that our inner-man of the heart (to use St. Peter's term) wants to do. For this, patience and self-acceptance are required.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of scanning multiple mice simultaneously on image quantitation, relative to single mouse scans on both a micro-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (microPET/CT) scanner (which utilizes CT-based attenuation correction to the PET reconstruction) and a dedicated microPET scanner using an inexpensive mouse holder "hotel."
We developed a simple mouse holder made from common laboratory items that allows scanning multiple mice simultaneously. It is also compatible with different imaging modalities to allow multiple mice and multi-modality imaging. For this study, we used a radiotracer (64Cu-GB170) with a relatively long half-life (12.7 h), selected to allow scanning at times after tracer uptake reaches steady state. This also reduces the effect of decay between sequential imaging studies, although the standard decay corrections were performed. The imaging was also performed using a common tracer, 2-deoxy-2-[18 F]fluoro-d-glucose (FDG), although the faster decay and faster pharmacokinetics of FDG may introduce greater biological variations due to differences in injection-to-scan timing. We first scanned cylindrical mouse phantoms (50 ml tubes) both in a groups of four at a time (multiple mice mode) and then individually (single mouse mode), using microPET/CT and microPET scanners to validate the process. Then, we imaged a first set of four mice with subcutaneous tumors (C2C12Ras) in both single- and multiple-mice imaging modes. Later, a second set of four normal mice were injected with FDG and scanned 1 h post-injection. Immediately after completion of the scans, ex vivo biodistribution studies were performed on all animals to provide a "gold-standard" to compare quantitative values obtained from PET. A semi-automatic threshold-based region of interest tool was used to minimize operator variability during image analysis.
Phantom studies showed less than 4.5 % relative error difference between the single- and multiple-mice imaging modes of PET imaging with CT-based attenuation correction and 18.4 % without CT-based attenuation correction. In vivo animal studies (n = 4) showed <5 % (for 64Cu, p > 0.686) and <15 % (for FDG, p > 0.4 except for brain image data p = 0.029) relative mean difference with respect to percent injected dose per gram (%ID/gram) between the single- and multiple-mice microPET imaging mode when CT-based attenuation correction is performed. Without CT-based attenuation correction, we observed relative mean differences of about 11 % for 64Cu and 15 % for FDG.
Our results confirmed the potential use of a microPET/CT scanner for multiple mice simultaneous imaging without significant sacrifice in quantitative accuracy as well as in image quality. Thus, the use of the mouse "hotel" is an aid to increasing instrument throughput on small animal scanners with minimal loss of quantitative accuracy.

Two-group classification in latent trait theory: Scores with monotone likelihood ratio

This paper deals with two-group classification when a unidimensional latent trait,ϑ, is appropriate for explaining the data,X. It is shown that ifX has monotone likelihood ratio then optimal allocation rules can be based on its magnitude when allocation must be made to one of two groups related toϑ. These groups may relate toϑ probabilistically via a non-decreasing functionp(ϑ), or may be defined by all subjects above or below a selected value onϑ.
In the case where the data arise from dichotomous items, then only the assumption that the items have nondecreasing item characteristic functions is enough to ensure that the unweighted sum of responses (the number-right score or raw score) possesses this fundamental monotone likelihood ratio property.

fuck me.
I haven't put myself thru
something like that in a
long time.
I'm not even looking
at reasons why.
It was a bad day compiled
by poor preperation.
These legs of Sept are not
those legs of summer.
I cracked at mile 50.
Though I got thru the
third timed section ok.
Heart revs were there,
was still ticking over the
gear, seemed good.
And then the lights went out.
There was a big battle with the
cramp monter in those dark
back alleys of slum town.
Classic stuff...
Why in the fuck,
am I doing this?
Asked a lot questions,
I didn't wanna answer.
The second 60/100 split
at Aid 3 was one of those
turns. You know there is
no good to come from
either choice.
Bail = Months of gnawing regret.
Ride on = Me pushing my fucking
road bike up a climb because I had
nothing. Kip clop, Kip clop, Kip clop.
I ain't proud, fuck it.
What a fucking day.
And the with that, all I can say
is Thank-you.
Thank you to Ralph & his crew for
putting on one hell of a series. Always
awesome to catch up with old friends.
And thanks to all the volunteers, your
loooong day is much appreciated.
And a special fuck you to the 'cakes, good stuff.

I sit here, in my back yard,
beer #6 in hand, huh #whut?
It was a very good day.
Full of doubt.
For some reason,
Today was the day.
When else, would I
consider myself
Your peers,
your friends,
you see what they do,
so why not you?
One step at a time.
Step taken today,
118 doorstep to doorstep
on those skinny tires.
All you gots to do is pedal,
same as it ever was.
Been doing it all my life.
Just pedal.

qwik n dirty
plans change.
plans are made.
plan j:
lose weight, get 'fit'.
vive' le Tour.
Plan h:
poach three days, missing
out on the first two.
Day 1/Stage 3:
I happily embrace my inner roadie.
I love riding road bikes, smooth,
efficient and plenty of time to take
it all in.
We climbed up Reddish, which I
was actually looking forward to.
And we got to descend out of the
saddle, double yeah hawll!
Moyer's Gap is a special spot,
nice sustained 19% ramp at the
"This is gonna take everything I got." - Buck
Then it rained, and we road a shit
ton of wet fireroad. My road bike
now hates me. Everybody ended up
numb, one way or the other.
Day2/Stage 4:
Big & Schlossy.
Tony B'town & I commuted
north, catching on the last 5yrs,
following the caravan of mtb
clad vehicles.
We ride mtn bikes north on the road,
make a few turns, settle in. Parade
up into the forest, parade some trail,
stuff the front end and bang a leg off
the bike. Ouch.
Long is timed section, big ups,
groovy down and empty at the bottom.
Regroup. Ride/hike to the overlook.
Hang out for a bit with fellow
slummers and take it all in.
Lunch, sketchy fireworks, FREEDOM!
Then on that first steepish slimey bit
of down, slow speed stuff of the front
and over we go. Bang.
Do I still have all my teeph?
Yeah? cool, I still have all my teeth.
But I am spitting out blood, neat.
Really busted my lip on that one...
Typical regroup/recovery and finally
back to steady gunning slumming'
tempo after an hour or so.
Just in time to make a wrong turn
and not realize it. Get to the bottom
and hit an unmarked T, hmmmm.
There's skidmarks, there's tracks,
there's a downed tree blocking that way,
so go the other. Left is north, right is south.
Eventually find the road, and yeah,
I'm off course. Fuck, shoulda turned left
back there, so I guess I need to turn left
on the road and head north towards
where that left pops out and wherever
the hell we're parked.
Then I made some very poor route choices,
starting with that left turn, and for the next
hour or so and went for a very long, very
lost spin on the roads up around Bryce Resort
in the exact opposite direction of where I
needed to be going. It was a long trudge
backtrack down 42 and back over the Orkney
Grade where serendipity reigned and I
was picked up quickly at the crossroads
on a hunch.
JamesK, I owe you, you too Sue G.! Thank You!
So after that 2hours of extra roadieness,
the busted lip and other additional impacts,
I was feeling kinda hollow come Sunday,
so I saw the peloton off and went home,
tail between my legs.
vive leTour'

so that was a pretty dark month,
now going on two I guess.
talk about a paradigm shift,
upheaval sort of shit. I know
there are still some angry demons
that'll rear their heads, but
pretty sure I purged a lot out of the
Finally, can't imagine swinging
thru much lower than that, good times.
Turns out that at 45 I can still
drink my face off until 2am,
sleep 4hrs and pull off a successful
event the next day.
It's almost like I intentionally tried
to sabotage the day, as some sort of
personal challenge. A complete
no fucks given attitude, because
honestly? I couldn't have. But be
responsible cuz I am, push thru it,
do the job, and it all works out.
Folks go home happy, sponsors
impressed, lookin' even better for
next year...
It all works out, that's how it works.

The conundrum of vigilante justice is one that many a movie has dealt with. It's often a staple of superhero tropes but the projects that are particularly affecting which use the themes of vigilante justice are those of real people, rather than superheroes, fighting injustice.
Kelly Dolen's John Doe: Vigilante takes the familiar vigilante tale and throws in a couple of wild cards. While typical vigilante stories feature heroes, or perhaps antiheroes?, who clean up the city in quiet, subdued fashion, the vigilante in Dolen's film seems determined to dole out as much violence as possible, often in public fashion. He's not working under the cover of night. This vigilante wants to send the message that the guilty aren't safe and along the way, this very public figure picks up a handf [Continued ...] »

Only a handful of people in the Us and Australia paid to see John Doe in cinemas last year but the vigilante thriller has suddenly become one of the most downloaded titles on torrent sites globally.
Directed by Kel Dolen (Reign in Darkness, Gates of Hell) and scripted by Steve Coates, the film stars Battlestar Galactica.s Jamie Bamber as an anti-hero who attempts to rid the community of criminals while taking out those he knows are about to commit crimes.
The film was released theatrically in the Us a year ago and the producers believe it was first pirated last July after it was released on DVD in the Netherlands.
After being launched on DVD and in a small number of cinemas in Australia last October, the film reappeared briefly on some torrent sites.
.Last Friday the Us DVD/Blu-ray was released onto the torrents and for some reason it has taken off, »

Break out the candles! The venerable Melbourne Underground Film Festival becomes a full-fledged teenager when it celebrates its 16th annual edition on September 11-20 this year.
Last year saw a stripped down Muff, focusing on local outre filmmakers and a fine selection of international weirdness — and they want more this year. The fest will also be returning to its new home, the Backlot Studios.
Sixteen years and counting, the Melbourne Underground Film Festival has shown a fierce commitment to under appreciated cinema and it's awesome to see them still kicking it. If your film is kick ass, a little bit or a lot out there and faintly uncategorizable and possibly unloved wherever "decent" people like to congregate, then Muff might be a good home for it.

Skip to comments.Elizabeth Edwards dead at age 61
Posted on 12/07/2010 2:03:45 PM PST by jern
WRAL News has learned that Elizabeth Edwards passed away late Tuesday afternoon.
(Excerpt) Read more at wral.com ...
beams to her family.
At least she's out of her miseries
Rest in Peace.
God rest her soul.
May the Lord be with her....
Very sad. Condolences to the Edwards family.
God bless her and her children.
RIP and prayers for her children.
Don't care about her politics or who she was married to - I am sorry to hear about another person taken by this monster.
I lost a close family member to breast cancer two years ago, and I am hate hearing about it getting ANYONE else.
Just such a sad ending to a tragedy filled life.
Prayers for her children.
Wow, that happened a lot faster than I thought it would, I figured next week would be the end. I'm glad she's out of her misery. Prayers for her children and all who love her.
Very sad. Cancer is a hard tragedy.
Condolences to her family.
Prayers for her family.
Better now than closer to Christmas.
And may John be reflecting right now on what a pig he was to her.
I pray for peace for her and her children.
God rest her soul. And prayers for her family. (...but not for her slimy husband.)
I hope she died with some peace.........the last year or so was not kind to her.
Prayers for her family.
Wow - that was fast — I thought when they said "weeks" they meant at least a few....................
My cousin lasted about six weeks with hospice at home though had different type of cancer —
RIP — yes, she is out of her miseries - multiple miseries. Very sorry for her children! My cousin left young ones like that, too.
RIP...may her family find some comfort in knowing that her suffering has ended.
How can one not feel pity for this woman? Yes, she was on the wrong side of every argument and she married a horrid man whose narcissism was consuming. I'll never forgive her for blind-siding Ann Coulter, but really, to be humiliated by your husband when you needed him most in the public eye, in my opinion she died last year. Her body just failed today.
That is sad. Her family can, at least, be consoled by he fact she is no longer in pain. RIP
This is so very sad. Prayers for her family including her x husband...
Go to a better place m'lady, you've earned a respite.
RIP Elizabeth. Cancer is a horrible horrible disease. May she rest in peace
Wow. That was fast. Just yesterday, we were told she had mere weeks. God rest her soul and prayers for her children.
What I'm thinking about John Edwards, I'll keep to myself.
Go with God. Man I HATE f&@king cancer
No more pain.
Rest in peace, Elizabeth.
Rest in Peace Elizabeth. God bless you and your family.
May she rest in peace, and may her family mourn briefly, and live on with fond memories.
I guess this means Johnny is free to date around now. The bass terd.
RIP and may God be with her. Very sad.
I suspected it would be soon, although didn't think quite this soon.
Rest in Peace, Elizabeth. May God comfort your children, family and friends in their hour of sorrow.
Rest in peace, Elizabeth.
Prayers for her children.
You and me both. Watching my Dad die was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. OMG... I feel so much for her family. I know just how they feel. God bless and comfort them.
God Bless her soul and prayers for her family.So sad.
Just heard on Cavuto. Go with God.
Very sad. Im terribly sorry for her children.
Just heard on Cavuto. Go with God.
Just heard on Cavuto. Go with God.
May she rest in peace, and may God console her children.

(Beyond Pesticides, May 2, 2016) A study published online last week has examined the effects of three neonicotinoids (neonics) on bumblebee colonies, from live bee kills to changed sex ratios.

There will be fewer valid excuses for being late to
class for Kavanagh College technology pupils from this week,
after they constructed their own clocks shaped like cartoon
The clocks were made from wood, and resemble characters such
as Eric Cartman, from South Park, a Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtle, and Calvin, from the cartoon Calvin and
Hobbes, which appears in the Otago Daily Times.
The cartoon clocks were created by year 11 pupils as part of
their NCEA level 1 hard materials technology class this week.
And for 15-year-old Shaun Tatley, it proved a timely project,
because he planned to give his clock to his father for his
birthday. (Sorry for spoiling the birthday surprise, Mr
Shaun said he built a clock shaped like both Pacman and a
ghost because it was his father's favourite video game when
he was growing up.
''It killed two birds with one stone - dad's present and my

This is one of my favorite casual fragrances. I found it in Palm Springs as a sample, and knew I was going to try it. I did and loved it. It's a very mild smell which I like and can be worn at any time of the day. I like it a lot.

I'm new to Archlinux but I've studied some tutorials and read the install, getting started and beginners guides.
I have installed a basic Arch Linux on a virtual box machine.
The machine seems to run just fine and I'm very happy with that.
However, while booting, a segment of the boot messages is just random garbled text.
Should I worry about this? Where do these messages come from? How Do I fix it?

I have used Glory Beach Resort once or twice a month for many years now doing workshops. I have used many resorts and hotels not just in Port Dickson but many other AROUND THE WORLD. I consider this hotel as THE BEST RESORT HOTEL FOR SERVICE AND FOR SECURITY IN THE WHOLE WORLD!
Yes, it is a huge statement from me...yet remember it is a 3 Star Resort Holtel only. I rather be in this 3 Star Resort Hotel than even in a 5 Star one (having use such Resorts/Hotels before). From top management (Mr. Isaac the General Manager, Mr Gana the Food and Beverages Manager, Ms Sheila the Marketing Manager to Housekeeping and Maintenance - I know just about all of them on first names. They are all very extremely hospitable and friendly. They will go the country mile to ensure that my group(s) and I are as happy as can be.
Comostan's comment is to me unrealistic. It depends if top management is around, for example. I do know that around her time of writing, Mr Isaac had leave to attend to family problems, that Mr Gana and Ms Sheila were on holidays etc. It is not that I am making an excuse for them, it is a fact!
During my time, often either my own organisation or participants had their belongings left behind and all were either promptly solved or given time. Let me relate an incident when the organisation's very important video that had footages of events over the weekend were left behind in the hall. When informed they immediately looked around and could not find it. It was nearly 5 days later when one of the tables were moved to another spot that it was found under it. Glory Beach Resort staff immediately rang Pauline (my organiser) and kept it in safekeeping before we went over to take it back.
There was another occasion when Janet, a participant left her expensive camera behind. One call later and it was found and returned. What else can I say?
Housekeeping staff had been in and out of the apartments and I am proud to say that none of my valuables were stolen or taken by any of them - even the participants were in awe at the honesty and wonderful housekeeping staff. In fact as I write this I salute them for a service well done.
I would like, on behalf of the 1000s of participants who had gone through Glory Beach Resort and from YongiWay, to thank all Management and Staff of Glory Beach Resort - the best resort for SERVICE AND SECURITY in the world!
With a last comment here, I like to know which staff would fit into this perso's pants with belt - clean? I wonder which staff would lose their job over an insignificant pair of pants. Hehe!

News The Global Warming "Debate"
A new report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences concludes that global temperatures have climbed to levels not seen in thousands of years. According to one of the authors of the study, "If further global warming reaches 2 or 3 degrees Celsius, we will likely see changes that make Earth a different planet than the one we know. The last time it was that warm was in the middle Pliocene, about 3 million years ago, when sea level was estimated to have been about 25 meters (80 feet) higher than today."
A second PNAS report concludes that human activity is almost certainly the cause of the majority of ocean warmingthe main cause of increased hurricane intensity. Substantial research shows that hurricanes have gotten far fiercer and more devastating in the past 30 yearsa pattern that can't be explained by natural fluctuations.
It's unclear what policy implications might come out of the study, although it will probably add to growing pressure from environmentalists and some legislators to pass laws limiting the release of carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas, from power plants.

"Kinderdijk, windmills in multiple choice" Top 5 Page for this destination Kinderdijk by Pavlik_NL
Kinderdijk Travel Guide: 105 reviews and 335 photos
Nowhere in the Netherlands you will find such a dense cluster of windmills, yes, even nowhere in the world. Once throughout The Netherlands there were several thousands of windmills (some records say even over 7.000), but as they became modernized and replaced more and more by (steam)machines, now-a-days ?only? 1.700 are left. Spread over the country you will ? traveling through it ? see them for sure, but Kinderdijk has 19 windmills that are in close proximity to one another. In 1997 the windmills of Kinderdijk came into the UNESCO list of world heritage.
The windmills of Kinderdijk are there for one single reason: to keep the water out of the polder in which they stand. Lined up along a canal they pump water from the lower ditches and finally into the main rivers that run to the North sea. This purpose is widely spread throughout the Netherlands and also the reason why in the swamp that we call home so many mills were and are there. For centuries we use the power of the wind to tame the water.
The windmills at Kinderdijk date back to the 18th century, but have been restored ever since. The mills are til the day of today fully operational, which is also necessary to keep dry feet in the "Alblasserwaard", the name of the polder that Kinderdijk is situated in.

Thank you for the inquiry, you would need 2 different numbers for front and rear since the offset in the rims are different from front to back.
You would need TRA3773 (chrome) or TRA3773A (Blk Chrm) for the rear and then # TRA5576R (chrome) or TRA3776A (Blk Chrm) for the front.
