God Speed Tom
Legion of Doom - if you think you're sneaking up on me, you just got tagged by my wingman
Well, its been a few YEARS.You have to understand how hard it is to come back as an unknown. You all know me but in a couple months I will be invisible to 99% of the paintball world. Thats just the way it is.
just figured id point out that you are STILL the #1 "mythbuster" of paintball. And while you may not have your name on every fourteen year olds jersey, your name is still a legend among those who actually know about paintball guns. I dont know the industry tom, im ignorant of all the people that put their blood into paintball. But i know your name.
And i dont even own an automag like the rest of your junkies
Obviosly this is one little myth that hasnt come true. and i expect wont for another two generations of paintball technology (we are still in the second generation, meaning you may very well die before you cease being relevent).
You'll never be forgotten. Ever. As long as this sport is alive, your name will be alive with it. Good luck wherever life takes you
Okay you have been retired long enough! Come back and get to work!
I second the motion, now all we need is a 2/3 majority vote right?!?
stay proud, Stay mechanical!
And my feed back is at: http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1771790#post1771790
I cant understand how Tom is not having paintball withdrawls, Im sure I read somewhere that he sold all his paintball markers. That cant be true how do you sell something you invented.
I can still imagine I bet he shaved his moustache off as a discuise for travelling. If your ever in SA look me up, Cause Id kill ta meet ya!
I havent been on here much in the last year or two, but I always try to stop in and read some deep blue, or technical posts. As an ex-sponsored player of yours tom(Team Rave, The World Paintball Federation, the "alvis family" I was all part of the mentioned) I'd like to thank you for all your help in the past. allowing us to see the prototype Xmag and not to mention some of the first Emags Its hard to see you leave, but the "real" players will always remember who you are, and what you contributed to the sport. I wish you good luck in your new life.

thats like the equivalent to cci going out.

and for those of you who were wondering i got the 3.5 for like 10$
Tom, I'm a couple of years late, but thanks for your support, and your genius as a designer.
My 10 year old son will soon be using my Automag, which was one of the first ever made.
When I bought it, it wasn't even a direct feed barrel, and was operating at a high psi, and had a forked barrel!
I'm pretty sure I had the second one in Florida, behind Ed Head of the Jax Warriors.
I can remember you coming to Florida, and doing a demo of the gun for my team, Welter Skelter, which evolved into Team Sasquatch.
Good luck in your new endevours, Tom, if you are still watching.
Ya, I'm a little late, too. ^
I'm relatively new to this to this community (well, very new actually). I've been playing for almost 9 years, and bought my first Automag about 6 years ago. Ever since it's been this kind of chick-flick worthy love relationship. I sold my first 'mag for a 'cocker, then sold the 'cocker for another 'mag, then a mag for bushy, then bushy for a (I can't remember!), and so on. But anywho, I just sold my mag to build a 'cocker that meets my personal expectations, and really, I want my 'mag back. There's just something so perfect about them that keeps bringing me back to them. I seriously prefer an old Lvl.7 foamied, single triggered, classic valved, left standard fed, VL revolutioned Automag over an Angel, or an E-Bladed 'cocker, or anything for that matter because I know it's quality. That's something many companies in this industry forget about: quality. That's also something you have perfected over the years, and I will defend that statement 'till the day I die.
Although we've never met, and I hope we eventually do, you have affected me in so many ways. I want to thank you for building this Godsend of a marker (warpfeed included), this company, and most importantly, this community. Although I haven't been part of it long, I am truly thankful of it. Thank you so much for your time, money, and time away from other more important investments (especially your family), Kaye.
Thank you, and goodluck with all of your further investments and adventure, whatever they may be.
-Brandon (Lenny) Burdette
Autocockers are the greatest markers ever made.
~The greatest BACKUP markers to AUTOMAGS!!
Only temporary, get'n a new sig soon.
Hey Tom I am one of the unlucky millions never to have met you but I do know your work I own and love my automag and am working on it as we speak nothing is wrong with it but like you I can't just leave good enough alone lol. Thanks for all you have done for the sport and the community it has been a pleasure I and the rest of the paintball world wish you all the best.
mag junkie
Tom hey never met you and never heard of mags till recently. I have heard nothing but good stuff about mags. So I will soon be getting one. Thank you tom for founding one of the greatest paintball companies ever.
Yes and for founding the company that will set the standard for paintball for years to come.
Thank you for your contributions to the world of paintball.
You may have retired but that shouldn't keep you from playing.
It's 2007.......time to dust off your Sydarms! Lock and load!
I heard that! Where would paintball be without TK? I hope that your enjoying yourself Tom.
I can't feel my toes . . .
Wow, I stopped playing in the summer of 2004 and will resume playing again this spring if not before---but wow, I missed this. For all this time, I thought Tom Kaye was still in charge. Suffice it to say that this is a very late 'good-bye'--I still want to say it to a man that has meant so much to the sport. You have dramatically impacted my trust and loyalty to a paintball company. I still have the same Automag I've owned since I was an 11th grade high school student (I am currently a senior in Graduate school). I've only added to my AGD collection of paintball markers--an RT Pro ULE custom and now an E-MAG that will be here shortly. I really appreciate everything you did for the sport and would like to thank you for the loyalty you instilled in me. It's a shame that you had to leave, but I know that loyal customers like myself will keep this company going. Good luck with all your new adventures!
Best regards,

I know I'm late on this, but maybe it will assist in making a point. I'm just now getting into the mag scene, having been in paintball for over 7 years, but you can rest assured I knew who Tom Kaye was before my recent interest spawned. In the world of paintball, the entire generation that grew up knowing Tom Kaye is going to have to die off before you'll be an unknown. The people at AO may know you well, but the rest of the paintball realm has undoubtedly felt your wake. From the WGP forums on PBR, to barrel reviews, to all the research you've done in and for the industry, you've left a mark in every facet of paintball that won't be washed off just because you're no longer the president.Originally Posted by AGD
If you show up at a field, people may not know your face, but if they're serious about paintball, they'll know your name.
Don't be a stranger; to us you never will.
Its 2009, and Tom, we still remember. As long as mags still function you will be remembered, revered, and loved by all of us. AND MAGS LAST FOREVER!
I am so upset, I wasn't into paintball when this was posted. My first marker was a classic, I still have it.. All I own is AGD markers, and Tom kaye is Literally my hero.. I started out in this sport only 4 years ago, as a noob who didn't know much. I had a buddy who's been playing for 15ish years. When I first started out, he told me "Get an Automag, Tom Kaye is the smartest man in paintball". So I did. After a while I got right into Paintball, and started buying other markers, I've tryed them all, Tippmann, Spyder, Tiberius, Cockers, Bob longs, Ego's etc.. Nothing shoots like an automag.. I've sold all my other markers and now only own AGD..
What upsets me the most, is that Tom is honestly my Hero. I do not like famous people generally and TV pisses me off, But Tom is everything that I idolize. I have so many of his markers, I want so bad to send him one (or atleast a triggerframe from one) and get it signed. But it looks as if that's not possible.. Does he even play anymore, I would fly down where ever when ever just to shake his hand and get an autograph, is this even possible anymore?
The last mag I built, I named "Tom Kaye's mustache" and it rocks..
So I guess other than sniveling and whining about how I didn't get into the sport till it was to late, or how I idolize Tom. The point of this post is to see, how, if it is at all possible, Do I get an autograph from Tom? Could I just Ship him said marker or trigger frame? Could I still play a game with him? What's the deal?
You can get an authentic TK autographed photo from Big Evil's for sale thread below and at the same time help out a great charity by buying one.Originally Posted by Tym
Yeah, I'll get one or two. But I still want to get him to sign my intellaframe under the grips..Originally Posted by PumpMag
And If I could shake his hand I would be even more happy
Originally Posted by Tym

Not to long ago I organized an Autograph signing with Tom here on AO, he signed like 70 autographs I had sent him took a picture of it called it the sweat shop, it was awesome! My suggestion to you is to not be shy, Tom has a website with his email go email him and tell him how you feel don't be shy, 90% chance he will sign it, he is really a great person to correspond with as far as all that fan stuff goes!Originally Posted by Tym
Yeah, and he actually took the time to look at one of my first (and horribly drawn since it was done in a study hall period) marker designs. I can't remember exactly how it worked, but he basically told me what i expected and feared. Then i talked to him again about interviewing him for a project. He really is a great guy.Originally Posted by Automagsam

A week of life is missing from Marcus Uribe's memory.
The Columbine High School graduate awoke last November in a hospital bed at the University of Texas, a machine controlling his breathing via a tube in his throat.
The Marine, burly from a weight-training regimen, struggled to free himself upon regaining consciousness, an early show of hope that he might recover from the brain injury he sustained when he was run over by a speeding truck days before.
He was a hero — or so people tell him.
With no recollection, Marcus has only others' accounts of the incident, including an apparent flash decision on his part to jeopardize his own life to potentially save others.
Shortly after returning home from seven months in Helmand Province in Afghanistan, where the 22-year-old, a former tight end on Columbine's state championship football team, drove large supply trucks, he made a trip to Texas.
"I went down to meet with some buddies. When we were in Afghanistan, we always planned on going and getting a beach house down where they live in Surfside, Texas," he said.
At a party, a group of unwelcome guests arrived, apparently causing trouble.
"When they showed up, they were being disrespectful to my friend's mother. They weren't welcome there, and so they ended up getting kicked out," he said. "They didn't like that."
One of the men got into his truck. Rather than leaving, he allegedly began running down party guests in front of the house.
As the truck approached, witnesses said, Marcus began pushing people out of its path.
The vehicle narrowly missed a friend, but Marcus, then on the ground, did not have time to get out of the way. Four people, including Marcus, were hit before the driver allegedly sped away.
"I fell from pushing him and almost immediately got run over," he said, relaying his friends' accounts. "That day to about a week after, I don't recall anything."
But for his parents, South Jeffco residents Jeff and Katie Uribe, the memory of that day remains vivid.
Their nightmare began in the early hours of Oct. 30, with a phone call from police.
"I always tell people the story by starting out that on Oct. 30 at 3 a.m. … Katie's phone and my cell phone rang at the same time. And we both sat up in bed and went, 'Oh, no,' " Jeff said. "The experience was pretty traumatic I think for everybody, because initially, the tone that the responding officer took was, 'You need to get here, immediately.' I don't think that she believed he was going to make it."
Hours later, the two were on a plane, anxious to learn of their eldest son's fate.
At first, the news seemed grim. Among other injuries, Marcus suffered a fractured skull and a brain hemorrhage.
"What I'm concerned about is ultimately what happens with the rest of his life. Because we've seen the MRI," Jeff said. "He's got black spots all over his brain."
The black spots indicate areas where neurons no longer connect — diffuse patches that may never regenerate. But with the brain's ability to delegate viable cells to take over the lost functions, Marcus has hope.
"It's not so much the long-term memory. It's more the short-term memory. … I can sometimes remember stuff from yesterday, but most of the time it's like, 'What'd we talk about 10 minutes ago? I don't know," he said. "Processing, thinking about what I'm going to say, it's gotten better, but the headaches and my back hurt every day. … I'm just thankful to be alive."
After his initial treatment, Marcus spent two months in a rehabilitation program at Craig Hospital in Englewood.
Doctors have said he could recover within a year, though that is too long for Marcus.
"It's been slow to me, because I just want to get better," he said. "The doctors at Craig are saying that I'm recovering faster than normal."
With Marcus now well into the recovery process, he and his family are not afraid to fit a few laughs into an otherwise austere situation.
"We didn't realize how hard a head he had," Jeff said. "He took on that kind of injury. But we're so glad he's alive. That's the most important thing."
Notable too, Katie said, is that Marcus had returned home from Afghanistan in the best physical shape of his life. Months of slow recovery have eroded a bit of his muscle mass, though the Marine had additional concerns.
"I lost my tan, too," he said, inducing chuckles in all.
As an extension of his rehabilitation, Marcus is being stationed at the Wounded Warriors Battalion at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, Calif. Doctors will continue to re-evaluate him every three months, until he can be determined fit for deployment or other operations.
With two years remaining in his enlistment, the lance corporal said he hopes to remain in the Marines, and might even sign on for an additional hitch.
But if he is honorably discharged for medical reasons, he said he hopes to find a career that embodies the same discipline, structure and camaraderie he loves about the Marines.
Particularly, he said, he would consider taking classes in criminal justice, with the goal of a law-enforcement job.
Currently, Marcus is uneasily dealing with the experience of being labeled as a hero. On March 4, he was given the American Red Cross Military Lifesaver Award at the local chapter's Breakfast of Champions.
As for the incident he can't remember, he attributes his training as a Marine and a football player in guiding a decidedly altruistic reaction.
"It's an honor and everything, but … I feel like I didn't really do anything. I just kind of reacted and did what anybody would've done," he said. "It just kind of happened. … I'm not used to it. I'm just a normal guy that just gets through the day."

Linus Chews Up Kernel Maintainer For Introducing Userspace Bug 1051
An anonymous reader points out just how thick a skin it takes to be a kernel developer sometimes, linking to a chain of emails on the Linux Kernel Mailing List in which Linus lets loose on a kernel developer for introducing a change that breaks userspace apps (in this case, PulseAudio). "Shut up, Mauro. And I don't _ever_ want to hear that kind of obvious garbage and idiocy from a kernel maintainer again. Seriously. I'd wait for Rafael's patch to go through you, but I have another error report in my mailbox of all KDE media applications being broken by v3.8-rc1, and I bet it's the same kernel bug. And you've shown yourself to not be competent in this issue, so I'll apply it directly and immediately myself. WE DO NOT BREAK USERSPACE! Seriously. How hard is this rule to understand? We particularly don't break user space with TOTAL CRAP. I'm angry, because your whole email was so _horribly_ wrong, and the patch that broke things was so obviously crap. ... The fact that you then try to make *excuses* for breaking user space, and blaming some external program that *used* to work, is just shameful. It's not how we work," writes Linus, and that's just the part we can print. Maybe it's a good thing, but there's certainly no handholding when it comes to changes to the heart of Linux.

This is the seventh challenge in a weekly series from GeneaBloggers called 52 weeks of personal genealogy and history, suggested by Amy Coffin, that invite genealogists to record memories and insights about their own lives for future descendants. Week 7 – Toys
Probably like alot of boys in the UK in the 1950's and early 1960's my toy box included Dinky and other model cars. I didn't have anything rare or unusual – although if I had kept them and still had the original packaging I guess that they might be quite rare and even valuable today.
I remember visiting my grandparents in Leeds and playing on the floor with my cars. They had a carpet with a design of squares and quite wide tram lines between the squares. These tram lines were perfect for roads and junctions.
I also had soldiers, cowboys and indians, horses and farmyard animals. They were more interesting to play with when I got my wooden fort and a wooden farmyard complete with farmhouse, stable, cowshed and pigsty.
Over the years playing with toy soldiers has become big business and there are now online forums and battle re-enactment associations.
I remember having a small train set and a Scalextric track with racing cars.
However I can't do a post about toys without mentioning the one thing that provided me and my brother with so much entertainment and drove my mother mad. The good old Subbuteo table football – although in our case we played it on the floor.
We had our own mini league – just the two of us. We had maybe four teams each, I just can't remember exactly, and had a fixture list and kept league tables after each round of games. We set up our Subbuteo football pitch on the floor behind the sofa and we would play for hours. We didn't always play to the rules – we bent them a bit. Instead of flicking the players we might shove them towards the ball. We shouted and argued with each other – all in the name of winning of course.
On one occasion our mam must have been having a bad day!! Me and my brother were having our usual heated discussions about whether there was a foul, an off side or whether one or the other of us had cheated in some way. Suddenly, out of nowhere, our mam appears complaining about our shouting and arguing. It had obviously got too much for her and she stamped all over our football pitch breaking and severely injuring many of our star players. Luckily we had other teams of players that we could use.
This incident has gone down in our family folklore and is now recorded for all to see.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Following a season-opening victory against LIU Brooklyn Friday morning, the Duke volleyball team concluded day one of the Campus USA Credit Union Invitational with a 3-0 (25-10, 25-14, 25-15) win over the University of New Orleans. The Blue Devils overpowered the Privateers in the Friday evening contest, totaling 36 kills compared to just 12 for New Orleans.
Sophomore Breanna Atkinson led all players with nine kills while freshman Jordan Tucker continued her strong play with six kills and three blocks. Duke's defense, which came up with 14 blocks, again kept its opponent under .100 hitting, limiting New Orleans to a -.078 clip.
"It was a complete team effort," said head coach Jolene Nagel. "It took a lot of communication and focus for our team to adjust as we took a look a different lineups and gave different people opportunities. I thought that our senior leadership showed itself out there. In order to make all those adjustments and keep things running smoothly, they really held us together."
Duke's service game was on point against the Privateers as the Blue Devils registered 13 aces in the match. Seniors Chelsea Cook (4 kills, 2 blocks) and Ali McCurdy (12 digs) both tied career highs with three aces each.
"We served a lot better than we did this morning," added Nagel. "We definitely wanted to come back strong on our serve and that was something we talked about."
Duke (2-0) raced out to an early 10-2 lead en route to a 25-10 victory in the opening set. The Blue Devils were in complete control and did not allow a New Orleans (0-2) kill, holding the Privateers to -.471 hitting. Tucker paced the Blue Devil offense with five kills to start the match.
Much like the first set, Duke opened the second stanza with an commanding early lead. The Blue Devils jumped out 9-0 and ultimately captured the frame 25-14. Atkinson was Duke's top target in the stanza, totaling five kills to go along with two aces.
The Blue Devils finished off the sweep with a decisive 25-15 final frame. Junior Brittney Balser chipped in with two kills and three blocks and freshman Alyse Whitaker totaled four kills and a pair of blocks to help Duke clinch the third set.
Duke wraps up the Campus USA Credit Union Invitational Saturday against No. 9 Florida. The Blue Devils and the Gators square off at 4 p.m., from the Stephen C. O'Connell Center.
- Today's match was the first meeting between Duke and New Orleans.
- Senior libero Ali McCurdy totaled 12 digs in tonight's match, bring her career total to 1,968. She is 233 digs shy of breaking the program record.
- Sophomore outside hitter Breanna Atkinson's two aces marked a career high.
- Freshman middle blocker Jordan Tucker leads Duke with 16 kills over the first two matches of the season. Tucker is also hitting a team-best .542

Atego has announced a new solution that integrates the systems and software lifecycle management capabilities of PTC Integrity software with its own Atego Artisan Studio software modeling environment.

The firms are trying to create a perfect storm of ALM with full control and traceability over requirements, models, source code, and tests.
In the face of software-intensive business systems where organizations now use model-centric processes to manage complexity, the firms have produced what they call "high-fidelity integration" of PTC Integrity and Artisan Studio to provide a centralized change process-driven approach needed for complex product development.
Atego chairman Richard Horsman says that by connecting models with other lifecycle artifacts and processes, requirements can guide design models and engineering change can be orchestrated with precision and speed.
"Engineers today must accelerate the pace of innovation and quickly incorporate changes to reduce overall development time and costs. Compliance with standards like ISO26262, DO-178B, and IEC61508 demands process control and automation capabilities with end-to-end coverage of engineering change. Achieving these goals requires the ability to work in an integrated environment where every asset in the lifecycle is connected and controlled," notes Jake Simpson, General Manager of PTC's ALM business segment.
"Model-based approaches to complex systems engineering and software development projects are rapidly becoming the norm for leading product development organizations. The adoption of the Object Management Group's (OMG) two leading modeling notations for systems and software (SysML and UML) has now outpaced traditional techniques. Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) has become the driving force for today's product lifecycles, and Application Modeling is key to the majority of software-intensive system development projects," said Hedley Apperly, VP product & marketing with Atego.

"Early education in music actually wires the brain for learning, particularly in spatial and mathematical content. Research also proves that students who are involved in the arts both stay in secondary school and score higher on college entrance exams and other assessments."
Among many designations March is also know as 'Music in our Schools Month' (MIOSM).
It's been a busy month for the St. James Schools, music programs. The month began with the 7th and 8th grade and high school vocal concerts which were held at the Armstrong Auditorium on March 5.
The choir activities are continuing with the large group choir rehearsals at GHEC High School.
On Monday the Instrumental Music Department just held its Spring Concert. The hour and one half program was performed at the Armstrong Auditorium. St. James students between 8th grade and 12th played before family, friends, teachers and community members.
Students who performed solos were Megan Lahti, Ashley Lahti, Michaela Nordby, Cassidy Chapek, Connor Engel, Bethany Carlson and Alejandra Trapero.
Julia Boeve and Liz Reckow preformed a xylophone duet.
Singers in one of the concert band performances were Callie Coleman, Shelby Haseman, Clare Lepp and MacKenzie Miest.
Student recognition noted in the concert program Boeve and Reckow for a March 14 ensemble contest and 18 concert band students who received 18 superior ratings and five excellent ratings.
A contest on March 7, saw seven superior and three excellent ratings for varsity band students.
Since 1985, March has been filled with sound as 'Music in our Schools Month' is celebrated around the nation. Sponsored by the National Association for Music Education, the event focuses the nation's attention on the need for and benefits of quality music education programs.
Northside Principal Karla Beck said this about music, "Music and all arts in our schools is not just important; it is imperative.
"Early education in music actually wires the brain for learning, particularly in spatial and mathematical content. "Research also proves that students who are involved in the arts both stay in secondary school and score higher on college entrance exams and other assessments."
Principal Beck's comments are reaffirmed by the Children's Music Workshop. Some of the benefits of music education are:
Early musical training helps develop brain areas involved in language and reasoning. Recent studies have clearly indicated that musical training physically develops the part of the left side of the brain known to be involved with processing language, and can actually wire the brain's circuits in specific ways. There is also a causal link between music and spatial intelligence (the ability to perceive the world accurately and to form mental pictures of things).
Students of the arts learn to think creatively and to solve problems by imagining various solutions, rejecting outdated rules and assumptions.
Recent studies show that students who study the arts are more successful on standardized tests such as the SAT. They also achieve higher grades in high school.
A study of the arts provides children with an internal glimpse of other cultures and teaches them to be empathetic towards the people of these cultures.
In music, a mistake is a mistake; the instrument is in tune or not, the notes are well played or not, the entrance is made or not. It is only by much hard work that a successful performance is possible. Through music study, students learn the value of sustained effort to achieve excellence and the concrete rewards of hard work.
Music study enhances teamwork skills and discipline. In order for an orchestra to sound good, all players must work together harmoniously towards a single goal, the performance, and must commit to learning music, attending rehearsals, and practicing.
Music provides children with a means of self-expression. Self-esteem is a by-product of this self-expression.
Music study develops skills that are necessary in the workplace. It focuses on 'doing', as opposed to observing, and teaches students how to perform, literally, anywhere in the world. Employers are looking for multi-dimensional workers with the sort of flexible and supple intellects that music education helps to create as described above.

Cinema as an image machine exhibits a vast abundance of archetypal characters, motifs, and qualities, which in astrology are embodied by planets, constellations and the signs of the zodiac.
Once a month Vesna Ivkovic will draw the connections offering insight into the cinematic representations and forms of expression for the current zodiacal sign.
Did you ever have to wink away tears in a theatre or even use up a bunch of tissues because a movie moved you to tears? Then you have experienced a typical Cancer-moment, as Cancer in cinema is always zeroing in on our emotions – no-holds-barred. It might be "Bambi" (D. Hand et al. 1942), the mother of all soppy Disney movies, "Amelié" (J.-P. Jeunet, 2001) and her fairy tale world, or "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" (S. Spielberg, 1982), longing to "phone home". It could just as well be a deeply emotional melodrama dealing with painful family ties like in "East of Eden" (E. Kazan, 1955) and "The Color Purple" (S. Spielberg, 1985)…
Cancer is a water sign, representing sentiment and soul, sensitive receptivity, intimate connection and the openness to be deeply emotionally touched, as well as the resulting desire for emotional safety. The ability to fearlessly and uninhibitedly open your soul to deep emotion and to venture all the way to the bottom of your feelings is a Cancer-characteristic and so is the need for protection, comfort and care on an emotional level by people who are near and dear to us [1]. Emotional closeness, intimacy and comfort as well as the longing for it are the main Cancer-themes, which can be found in various cinematic genres and motifs: Whether it's fantasy and fairy tale, family drama, coming-of-age-movie or some story about cute animals, the typical Cancer-features, beside a wide range of emotions, are predominantly simple archetypal images mirroring ancient emotional and spiritual contents, mainly without any hint of irony and relativization. These contents are often incorporated in naïve or at least deeply romantic stories, characterized by rather childlike sensation and a world view of great emotional innocence (in the original sense of unconsciousness and ignorance). Sentimental simplification is preferred to rational complexity, and all available tools are introduced to make the audience identify with the events on screen, thus appealing directly to our emotions and obliterating any awareness or meta-level right from the start by compassionate sympathy.
Music plays an important role as emotional catalyst in Cancer-cinema, protagonists are more or less modelled after the classical scheme of childlike characteristics ("Kindchenschema": big, round head and eyes), main characters are often children or animals, as well as persons with physical or mental limitations and disabilities. Plots are revolving around loss and longing, sad twists and blows of fate, family conflicts and resulting emotional injuries, suffering orphans, lost homes and tales of heroes finding their way back through all the emotional tempests…
Audiences bursting out "Oh, it's sooo cute!" referring to a character, a scene or a story, can be considered safe evidence for the Cancer-quality of the character, scene or story – and more often than not also for kitsch. But what exactly is kitsch? Where is that fine line between embarrassing mawkishness and truly heartfelt emotion?
As a child I almost couldn't bear to watch the pet-movie-classic "Lassie Come Home" (F.M. Wilcox, 1943), because I was moved to tears by the bond between the famous movie-dog and his human friend. Until today watching only a trailer of e.g. "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" (L. Hallström, 2009), the story of a dog's unswerving loyalty to his deceased owner, I have to fight emotion although I am fully aware of the utilized manipulative mechanisms. It is much easier for me, when the story is about humans instead of animals: The conventional depiction of abandonment, needy childishness and family relations, which Steven Spielberg employed in "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" (1982) and "Artificial Intelligence: AI" (2001), making ample use of the "Kindchenschema", is met by a quizzical dislike from my Aquarian IC – and accused of being kitschy.
The term "kitsch" basically characterizes the approach to the narrative, the manner of expression in dealing with a certain issue or story: If emotional states are presented by outworn and trite images (and phrases), if they determine the story in a clichéd way, the picture wouldn't be convincing, it would not move us and would therefore be dismissed as kitsch. Yet what can touch us and move us to tears depends on the nature of our very own Cancer-energy. Calling something "kitsch" might sometimes also suggest, that a particular expression of emotion appears to us as far too excessive – or maybe we are just nestling deeper into that rational and intellectual coat, that gives shelter to our sensitivity and our feelings.
A huge and important chunk of movies featuring Cancer-quality consists of sentimental plots about people with seriously restricted physical or mental abilities, highlighting their greatness of heart and mind. The Cancer-characteristic "weakness" (due to neediness and/or dependency) undergoes an equally Cancerian transformation by expressing feelings and thus becomes strength. The famous actor Daniel Day Lewis gained his first Oscar for his role in "My Left Foot" (J. Sheridan, 1989), starring as writer and painter Christy Brown who was able to work only with his left foot because of spasticity. Tom Hanks was awarded an Oscar for his portrayal of "Forrest Gump" (R. Zemeckis, 1994), a modern take on the old tale of the simple-minded fool making his luck despite of, or rather because of his intellectual plainness and his unsophisticated kind heart. The film was a huge success. Although less well-known, "I Am Sam" (J. Nelson, 2001), starring Sean Penn as a mentally retarded father fighting for custody of his little daughter, as well is making a point of emphasizing the importance of heart and emotion over mind and intellect. Even if one might consider this naïve it certainly is touching…
During the last decade a whole slew of films about seriously physically handicapped men were shot, one of them being "The Sea Inside" (A. Amenábar, 2004). A man who was paralyzed from the neck down in a swimming accident, played by the fabulous Javier Bardem, is fighting for his right to legally end his life while at the same time inspiring a positive attitude towards life in the people supporting him. One of last year's most popular films was "Untouchable" (aka "The Intouchables" by Nakache/Toledano, 2011), based as well on a true story: When a quadriplegic millionaire employs an ex-con to take care of him and the two become friends, his daily routine gets exciting and his zest for life returns.
Shallow soap operas too make use of stories like these, just as well as they thrive on the material popular tear-jerking melodramas from the 50ies were made of. Their plots were barely different from today's TV-soaps and telenovelas, however, e.g. Douglas Sirk's exceedingly emotional movies about family dramas became classics of film history. Spielberg's adaptation of "The Color Purple" (1985), a sad Southern story about an abused woman of colour and her torn-apart family, was nominated for numerous Oscars, and Fellini's "Nights of Cabiria" (1957), revolving around a naïve prostitute and her hapless pursuit of love and happiness, is considered as cinema's high art. Because of its mother-daughter-motif Sirk's "Imitation of Life" (1959) is an especially great example of Cancer in cinema: When a struggling actress with a six-year-old daughter moves in with a black housekeeper and her light-skinned daughter, difficulties emerge quickly as it transpires that the light-skinned girl rejects her mother, so she could pass for white. Deeply hurt feelings, emotional dependency, children's needs, motherly self-sacrifice, tears and pain – a whole arsenal of Cancer-motifs is brought up and if you forget the tissue-box you will end up with soaked sleeves… Motherly dedication again has an important part in "All That Heaven Allows" (D. Sirk, 1955), where a rich widow falls in love with a socially inappropriate and younger man, whom her children are not willing to accept [2]. Such stories rarely make it to the theatres today, since they are on the daily menu of both shallow TV-shows and the latest adaptation of some Pilcher-novel.
Yet now and then there is grand cinematic emotion in small films, daring to bring some hard stuff, some emotionally challenging twists of fate to the screen without any kitsch or stereotyped images. They invite us to share in the ups and downs of their eccentric and likable characters, acting out their range of feelings uninhibitedly and thus very Cancer-like. The latest example of this kind of movie is the recently released Belgian drama "The Broken Circle Breakdown" (F.V. Groeningen, 2012), a tale about the love and dreams of a couple living an unconventional life. They both already have had their shares of difficult times and lost their innocence long ago, so that probably because of that, they enjoy love and happiness with each other even more dearly when they are actually blessed with a daughter. What happens to them, after the girl is diagnosed with Cancer and finally dies is depicted in an emotionally convincing manner without shying away from the various and different ways of expressing deepest pain. Illustrating all of it, the film is never kitschy but thoroughly touching. Again music is an important part of it and in its particular approach of the lively and emotional sound of bluegrass-music it perfectly corresponds to the Cancer-quality of the movie.
To accept and welcome all the emotional ups and downs that life can present you with is not always easy, especially so when you're young and inexperienced. That is what many coming-of-age films are about, with stories of troubled kids, teenagers and youngsters. A classic in this genre is Ingmar Bergman's "Fanny and Alexander" (1982), a lengthy family saga about the fears and joys of childhood, narrated in an imaginative style.
"The Squid and the Whale" (N. Baumbach, 2005) has us commiserate with two brothers struggling with their parent's divorce, wishing more than anything that mum and dad would get back together again and on top of that having to cope with their own adolescent emotional commotions. The central character in "Thumbsucker" (M. Mills, 2005) has to deal with these commotions too, yet he additionally is addicted to sucking his thumb while already being a teenager – that alone makes the Cancer-quality of the movie perfectly clear. And "Juno" (J. Reitman, 2007) is a 16-year-old girl (played by the brilliant Ellen Page), discovering that she's pregnant after she slept with her best friend. Without moralistic finger wagging and in a refreshingly light tone, the film illustrates the emotional rollercoaster the likable and cheeky heroine is in for, while having to decide about the possibility of abortion and in her subsequent search for adoptive parents for her baby.
A marvellous little movie about the joyful as well as the bothersome aspects of family life is illustrating, that a dysfunctional family with problems like adolescent misanthropy, suicidal crisis and drug addiction can be depicted without weepy dismay: "Little Miss Sunshine" (Dayton/Faris, 2006) is about little Olive, who has made it to the finals of a children's beauty pageant, when everybody in her family seems to be stricken by some personal disappointment. Struggling with their difficulties and breakdowns they nevertheless go on the road together, supporting and encouraging the little girl to pursue her dream. Once again it is human weakness and the quirky yet compassionate treatment of perceived failure, which gives the movie a touching, however almost not sentimental Cancer-character…
1. This is different from Taurus' need for physical and substantial security and being well provided for, things he can take care of by himself.
2. This is a frequent plot device in Cancer cinema: the conflict with Capricorn-energy, e.g. the social requirements restricting someone's free expression of feelings.

Using landscape as its unifying concept, this engaging book explores orchestral music that represents real and imagined physical and cultural spaces, natural forces, and humans and wildlife. Spanning continents and centuries, David Knight links contrasting forms of music through unifying themes of time and space; waterscapes; mythic spaces; extreme landscapes; and realms of death, survival, and remembrance. Orchestral works are rarely perceived in geographical terms, but the author, himself an accomplished geographer and musician, offers a deeply satisfying approach to interpreting and appreciating a wide range of music. Comparing classic masterworks from Europe and Russia alongside more recent compositions from the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, and China, this innovative study offers a fresh understanding of the links between music and the worlds around us.

"He's determined to create more Democrats". You go girl! Hopefully Annie will help pound the stake into the GOP, aka The Grossly Outdated Party
Apparently she didn't get the Memo:
Immigration plan 'is not amnesty in any sense of the word.'The first objective: banish "amnesty" from the conversation.
Ann Coulter is doing what she does best for the GOP; throwing shit to the wall for them to see what sticks.
The only chance that the GOP has at making any inroads in picking up Hispanic Votes; who aren't Cubans, is to either lead the way, or to be equal partners in finding a solution to our Nation's Immigration Problems.
But go ahead Ann, throw Marco Rubio under the bus, and you can be the poster child of why the GOP should remain a party of "Angry white MEN."
Favorite comment quote read on Youtube: "My Laptop fell off the back of the boat, and now I have a Dell Rolling in the Deep."
While I'm no fan of Coulter, she did pretty much predict that Romney would lose. As for Rubio, he deserves her wrath. Being in Florida, I can tell you that Rubio has done ZERO to advance immigration solutions here (or anything else) and really needs to learn that the Hispanic community is not only about the Cuban people.
The immigration problem is the immigration. With millions of Americans unemployed and underemployed, we need a moratorium to give our people a chance. The reason the Democrats want immigration "reform" is that they want to rush illegals to voting status to join the class/race war and vote Democrat. Their idea of Democracy is that if the American people don't want the party's socialist agenda, flood the country with poor immigrants who will vote socialist.
i dont think romney lost all by himself. the gop never had much of a chance to begin with. im actually stunned that the republican candidate got as many votes as he did, who are these people who want to take our country backwards?
Is Coulter even relevant? She's just a shock queen... says whatever she needs to to get her name in the press and sell books.
It wasn't difficult to see that Romney would lose. He wasn't a very good candidate, his people ran a shitty campaign, they picked an idiot for Veep for him. His entire campaign was a joke and now they're trying to erase the memory of it as fast as they can. It's like it never existed.
Republicans want a halt to illegal immigration. Others, with substantial immigrant numbers in their states are afraid to oppose the Democrat agenda.
on the topic: I actually spent years worried that the upcoming large Latino voter base might swing Republican because of their traditionally conservative and Catholic social views. I can't even tell you how many Prop 8 support bumper stickers I saw on cars here in California where every other bumper sticker was in Spanish. Republicans are sticking hardcore to the idea that their message isn't out of touch or to blame, just the implementation of disseminating it and obstructing the vote for non white males. As far as I'm concerned they can keep running on that platform, and lose monstrously again in 2016.
And this is why nothing will be done. RUbio can see the writing on the wall. Thankfully far more in his part can't.
Benvolio -- when immigration reform is passed I will fully expect you to post pictures of your tear stained pillow case. Kick your legs sweety it will make it all better.
Ann Coulter is a demonstration of how far the republicans have to go to go around their own 'braintrust' base of ideology. They have built their hole so deep climbing out and becoming a part of America will be difficult.
FYI the eastern bloc border patrols were set up to keep people in, not to keep people out.
As for shoot to kill, why not? If someone is breaking into your house, you are within your rights in shooting them.
Breaking into your country is no different.
The Tea Party is a movement devoting itself to the needed task of developing a genuine spirit of American patriotism. Tea Party members are to be examples of pure patriotism. They are to organize the patriotic sentiment of native-born Americans for the defense of distinctively American institutions. Tea Party members are dedicated to the principle that America shall be made American through the promulgation of American doctrines, the dissemination of American ideals, the creation of wholesome American sentiment, the preservation of American institutions.
To me Ann Coutler is nothing more then Rush Limbaugh in drag without the lard.
When they cross the border illegaly, they are breaking the law and should be sent packing.
Of course, the survival of the democrat party rests on there being a permanent underclass in this country, which explains their unwillingness to act.
Typical Republican mindset. Reality doesn't reflect my worldview so let's change reality to fit the worldview. Mexicans are now not hispanic because I choose to recognize only hispanics of a certain worldview that I agree with.
That we are capable only of being what we are, remains our unforgivable sin.

There's not a huge "immigration" problem in Puerto Rico that last time that I was stationed there.
Unless you're a Columbian on your way to an American Prison.
Puerto Ricans are a lot like Native Texans; if you have a heritage that predates U.S. Government Involvement, then that history tends to supercede.
So far I'm not reading much that indicates that you have a leg to stand on in that argument.
Wait!Your sophomoric argument won't wash.
Between the two parties, which of the two do you think are going to die out first?

Favorite comment quote read on Youtube: "My Laptop fell off the back of the boat, and now I have a Dell Rolling in the Deep."
QUOTE: HenryReardon
Actually, if you go back to the "seed people" - those who came "to America" in colonial (and pre-colonial Sixteenth Century) times - they were coming to a land where the concept of Nation-State was not really known. Therefore, the concept of "illegal immigration" likely didn't even exist. The closest to "illegal" would have been for the original inhabitants to be suspicious of newcomers, and perhaps try to chase them away.This county was not built by illegal immigration. If people want to come here, let them wait in line. It's that simple.
As I understand it, though, the aboriginal peoples usually welcomed the newcomers openly - much to their detriment - which they did not foresee or imagine. Pogroms such as forced relocations or wholesale exterminations were also concepts which weren't commonly practiced in the Americas "in 1491" and I doubt the natives were prepared for such egregious human behaviour, but such stuff was already something which was already commonly practiced across much of Europe for many centuries prior.
And, as far as WAITING IN THE IMMIGRATION QUEUE, there is **no reason** why the necessary background checks, etc. should need to take more than THREE OR FOUR WEEKS. Perhaps much more of the immigration would be LEGAL-and-documented if the bottlenecks were resolved. With ubiquitous computer bases and such, this should be entirely fast and streamlined. This is the damned 21st Century. It shouldn't take DECADES for applications to be processed. This is entirely absurd. I was very happy to actually hear Obama talking about the awful delays, which I don't believe I ever heard mentioned by anybody in the discourse before this year.
"Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking." -The Scarecrow, WIZARD OF OZ, 1939

Do you notice the anger and desperation coming from the right wing since President Obama was re-elected? It appears they aren't having a very good time.

There are carbon dated campfire sites in South America that go back 60,000 years.
If that still qualifies as "just immigrants", then there's no such thing as a native anyone practically.

It's so easy to just say, "shoot them, kill them. Keep them out. Their deaths will solve the problem." Do you actually understand the weight of your words?

Shooting people on sight as a policy is appalling. We've got to make things easier on legal immigrants, and allow a path to citizenship for illegals that have been here and have made families...self deportation or forcible for that matter runs the gamut from imparactical to ludicrous. Unbridled amnesty, or failure to control borders isn't acceptable either, though to be fair to the Obama Administration many undocumented illegals coming from other sources than the southern borders have been returned to their counties of origin in the past four years.
Delicate balance is needed, as overall immigration is a boon for Americans as a whole as well. If the GOP listens to the Ann Coulters, they indeed will be signing their effective death sentence in the coming years.
It's Ann Cunt-er, enough said...
Favorite comment quote read on Youtube: "My Laptop fell off the back of the boat, and now I have a Dell Rolling in the Deep."
What works effectively isn't tied down to uncritical ideological purity in the real world.... governing by mere sound bites and obstructionism (whatever the party) just isn't in the best interests of Americans, period. The GOP has gone further in an ideological direction than the Democrats have and if they want to remain relevant nationally, they have to accept the responsibility of governing a complex country in term of demographics. Easy to say no and always point to cartoonish villains than to be responsible and work hard to do diligently the people's business. Party that does it best is poised to move America forward and despite some Republicans getting the memo it has escaped the fervent base.
Some Republicans have stated recently the party has to stop being one of stupid comments and reflexive anti intellectualism. It still has a long way to go in that regard!
And I've had the honor of rubbing elbows with you while sharing a beer, face to face, and this debate isn't it.
Our Media, and many in this forum want to see our country as "divided."
Those of us who "think" and aren't afraid to share our ideas and thoughts with each other, who aren't willing to hold a grudge because we disagree, because we love our country, and respect each other as friends and neighbors, should always matter more.
It's never as bad as some would want us to believe.
There isn't an "us and a them."
We are the "them."
I'd rather make fun of you because your team lost, or take jibes from you because my team did, than to allow hucksters to divide us over politics, or any issue of the day that really effects us.
Favorite comment quote read on Youtube: "My Laptop fell off the back of the boat, and now I have a Dell Rolling in the Deep."
If you were to substitute Catholic, Jewish, Irish, Italian, for Hispanic or Latino, our right-wing JUB posters would have fit right in with the KKK of the 1920s. They seem to forget that vehemence of the anti-Catholic and anti-Jewish hatred for immigrants of the last century.
By labeling as racist and xenophobic any one who questions it, the liberals have foreclosed discussion of the broader questions, including poverty and unemployment. How can we every overcome poverty and unemployment when we are faced with a virtually unlimited influx of more poverty?

Frequently asked questions
Products > Special Options
ordered a report in my mother tongue. Can I get the same one in
a different language at a lower price?
Yes, you can. We handle a change of language like any other correction which may be necessary due to customer error. This means, we only charge 25% of the regular price for such copies of reports, plus full shipping cost.
Please, send an e-mail to email@example.com, and give the order numbers of the reports you have got already. The number can be found in the front page window, in small print.
Is the price reduction also valid if I order the same report for the same birth data in two languages straight away?
Yes, it is the same. You pay 25% of the regular price for the second copy.
- Is
it possible to choose a particular house system when ordering a
No, it is not. Our authors used their own techniques, and this implies the choice of house systems. But you do have the possibility to print out chart drawings with different house systems:
Free Horoscopes -> Extended Chart Selection.
- Can I order
report without having the exact birth time?
No, you can't. The calculation and interpretation of the chart includes fast moving planets or points like the Moon, Ascendant and the house positions. These factors change so quickly that an unreliable birth time can result in completely wrong interpretations. There is no option in the programme to use only factors which don't change for a whole day.
It could be a real waste of money for you and bad for our reputation. People may think that the interpretation is wrong when in fact the interpretation was done for a wrong birth time.

A high school sports cooperative agreement with West Prairie will move forward in the Bushnell-Prairie City School District, but extra-curricular budget cuts were tabled until the regular B-PC board meeting May 15.
During a special meeting Monday night, the board listened to public comments on the sports co-op before unanimously accepting it. Several people spoke out in opposition to the co-op name – BWP — under the agreement because it does not include the name of Prairie City, and others questioned why West Prairie will be the host and administrator of football.
That was the concern of Prairie City Mayor John Oakman, who said he supported the co-op but B-PC has better football facilities and "the established" football program.
Under the sports co-op agreement, B-PC and West Prairie will share football, boys baseball and girls softball starting with the 2014-15 school year. West Prairie will serve as host and administrator of football and softball, while B-PC will be host and administrator of baseball.
The school districts already co-op for boys and girls track; under the new co-op, B-PC will continue serving as host and administrator.
Athletic Director Stan Prentice said the co-op will benefit both districts because both have the problem of low sports enrollment number.
"Our numbers are down at this point, we're going to struggle next year fielding a football team, West Prairie's going to struggle," he said. "So next year we'll be able to put them together. Same with all the other sports. We already do track, and it benefits both programs by having more student athletes to be able to participate and field a team."
A copy of the B-PC-West Prairie cooperative intergovernmental agreement is posted on the B-PC School District website, www.bushnell-pc.k12.il.us.
Other business
In other business, the board tabled action on $47, 600 in budget cuts to extra-curricular programs for the 2013-14 school year and will give the B-PC community until the next regular board meeting on Wednesday, May 15, to present a fundraising plan to prevent the cuts.
Cuts under consideration include: The elimination of all field trips from kindergarten through high school, junior high football, junior high girls volleyball, freshmen football freshmen boys basketball and boys and girls indoor track.
Also on the potential chopping block is the reduction of one tournament from boys and girls basketball and girls volleyball, the reduction of two "away" athletic contests in all sports except high school football, and the elimination of all professional development except for those which are funded by a grant.
Interim Superintendent Mike Dickson said the cuts are necessary because of continued declines in state revenue. For the 2013-14 fiscal year, the school district will receive $561,000 less in General State Aid than it did this year.
Public comments included pleas to give the community a chance to raise the funds to prevent the cuts. James Groutage of Bushnell stepped forward to offer his own money to prevent the loss of boys and girls indoor track, which has only three meets at a cost of $500.
"I will pay for the indoor track meets," he said to applause.
Travis Hiel of Prairie City encouraged the board to "think outside the box" during and give the community a chance to raise the money.
Marlin "Muggs" McGinnis, a retired administrator of the school district, said he understood why the board might be reluctant to allow the community to raise the funds, given the time they must follow when preparing the next year's budget.
McGinnis also said it might be time for the school district to consider a referendum for a tax levy increase.
"Either we have to cut or we have to raise our taxes, so that we don't have to worry about cutting junior high football. What's going to happen five years from now?"
During one exchange, board member Mary Mendenhall responded to a comment about fundraising and said, "We can't operate on a promise," to which John Slater of Bushnell responded, "But you're already operating on the state's promise."
Mendenhall then responded, "That's the way our budget operates."
Board member John McCleery made a motion to set May 15 as the deadline for the community to come together, with help from the B-PC Athletic Boosters, and present a fundraising plan. If that plan isn't acceptable to the board, they can take action on the budget cuts at the May 15 meeting.
McCleery's motion was unanimously approved.
"I thought it was important to give the community a chance," McCleery said following the meeting. "We had a lot of people here tonight, so we should give them that chance."
He also said he was willing to make the tough decisions if the community can't present a viable plan.
"If they can't present a plan we can approve," he said, "then we will have no choice but to make the reductions."

Check out an online tool that allows you to design your own transit system and prioritize spending at BoulderTransitDesign.com.
The results will be analyzed at the end of June to be incorporated into city transportation planning, though the tool will remain open and may be revisited for some time to come.
Whether you drive an hour to your job in Boulder or exclusively use the bus to get around town, city officials want to hear your opinions on how to improve transit in Boulder and around the region.
An online tool, "Design Your Transit System," asks people to allocate money for various transit improvements in accordance with their priorities. If they go over their budget, they'll have to redo their rankings. The tool asks about service, fares, access and amenities.
Already, more than 500 people have used the online tool, but city transportation planners are hoping for a larger response by the end of June, when they'll analyze the results.
The tool is just one piece of a larger outreach effort around transit. Planners have also held mobile workshops outside grocery stores and on the University of Colorado campus with the intent of capturing the views of people who aren't always engaged in city planning efforts.
The results will be incorporated in the transportation master plan and used to negotiate with the RTD for expanded local and regional service. It will also be part of the feasibility study of a communitywide or even countywide Eco Pass program, said city transportation planner Cris Jones.
"This is Boulder," he said. "We should decide what we want from transit, and then we should approach RTD and see what they think they can do."
Jones said planners want to hear from people who don't usually ride the bus, as well as from bus commuters, because they hope to figure out how to get more people out of their cars.
They'll be able to compare existing commuting habits to what those survey participants prioritized, to see which users would be affected by which service changes.
"When we think about the types of behaviors we want to impact, we can see what the priorities are of different types of commuters," he said.
Jones said transportation planners also would like to hear from Boulder Valley School District parents and students, because the city wants to reduce driving to school.
The online tool will remain up beyond June, and planners will look for additional results later in the year. However, they hope as many people as possible fill it out before the end of the month so that the analysis will be thorough.
Transportation planners hope to finalize the plan and present it to the City Council for approval in early 2014.

- Apocrypha
The Bible is the name used by Jews and Christians for their differing but overlapping canons of sacred texts. The Bible is believed to be the inspired word of God by Christians and Jews alike.
The Jewish and Christian Bibles are actually collections of what were originally a number of independent books. The overwhelming majority of Christians refer to the Bible as the combination of Hebrew Scripture, known to Christians as the Old Testament or First Testament; and the New Testament, which describes the life and message of Jesus. For Roman Catholics, the Eastern Orthodox, and some protestants, the Deuterocanonical books — various writings important in the Second-Temple period of Judaism (often regarded by many protestants as the (or part of the) Apocrypha) — are considered to be part of the Old Testament and as such part of the Bible, although they are rejected by many protestants and are not in the Hebrew Bible as accepted in modern Judaism. Some books considered deuterocanonical by Orthodox Churches are considered apocyphal by other Orthodox Churches and/or Catholics. For Jews, the term refers only to the Hebrew Bible, also called the Tanakh, which includes the Five Books of Moses (the Torah) as well as the books of the Prophets and Writings. Both Christians and Jews regard the Bible as the revealed word of God, with widespread variation on its accuracy, interpretation and legitimacy.
Christian perspective
Fundamentalists believe that the Bible is both inspired and inerrant. They claim that every word of the Bible is literally true, except for the parts which are intentionally written as allegories or parables. It is free of contradiction and error. So for example, a Fundamentalist would most likely believe in six-day creation because he believes in the literal truth of Genesis.
Liberal Christians take a more open view of the Bible, often believing that it is "inspired by God" but not inerrant. They may believe that, while the Bible is a good spiritual guide, it is not necessarily meant to be taken literally.
Atheist perspective
Atheists regard the Bible as just a period piece of literature. Its authors may have been sincere when they wrote it, but they were nomadic sheep herders with a narrow perspective on the world. In that sense it is little different than any other ancient text such as The Odyssey: an interesting perspective on the mindset of early cultures, but of questionable accuracy, especially those passages that refer to supernatural events.
The Bible was also written well over a thousand years before the discovery of science, which means that the Bible is nearly irrelevant to any scientific discussion. Not only is the literal story of Genesis completely at odds with modern cosmology, but there are many other scientific errors in the Bible. For instance, there is the Biblical value of pi and the assertion that hares chew their cud.
Additional perspectives
There is an excellent resource available at The Skeptic's Annotated Bible.
Unsuitable reading
The Bible contains passages that many people would consider inappropriate for children. The Skeptic's Annotated Bible has topical summaries.
- Cruelty and Violence in the Bible
- Injustice in the Bible
- Intolerance in the Bible
- Bad Family values
- Bad treatment of womenr
- Sex in the Bible
- Bad Language in the Bible
- Depiction of Homosexuality in the Bible

Legacy Family Tree has release blank US Census Forms (page1 | page2) for the 1940 US Census. April 2nd is coming, are you prepared? Is Ancestry.com prepared?
At #RootsTech 2012, the 3rd keynote was an Ancestry talking-head panel. They joked about whether the website could withstand the crush on April 2nd. Let's see how this experiment goes.
This is the first US Census to be released in an all digital format.
