GORHAM, Maine- A John Powers' (Marshfield, Mass.) goal with one second left in the first overtime gave men's lacrosse a 12-11 Little East Conference victory Tuesday afternoon at Hannford Field. With the victory the Beacons have all but secured a spot in this year's Little East Conference tournament, with only one regular season conference game left on the schedule.
Tuesday's victory also marked the seventh win for the Beacons, making it the most wins ever for head coach Tyler Low and the most victories since the 2007 season. Beacons now stand at 7-8 on the year and 2-4 in the LEC. The Huskies fell to 2-12 overall and 0-5 in the conference.
Powers game-clinching goal came just seconds after the Huskies turned the ball over on a clear attempt. The junior attackman collected the loose ball and fired it home to help UMass cap off a huge comeback.
Leading by one at the half, the Huskies added to their lead in the third quarter scoring five goals, while holding the Beacons to four to make it 9-7 with only one quarter remaining in the contest. In the final frame the Beacons put-up four goals including the tying marker from Noah Ellis (Hingham, Mass.) with only 10 seconds left in regulation.
Ryan McGoff (Charlestown, Mass.) sparked the fourth quarter comeback with his second goal of the afternoon. After a man-up goal by the Huskies to keep their lead at two, the Beacons scored two straight to tie it at 10-10 with Derek Philips and Joe Miller (Hull, Mass.) each scoring unassisted goals. The Beacons would then try to take the lead on a man-up possession, but it was the Huskies who found the back of the cage to make it 11-10 with 3:49 to play.
After going back-and-forth over the next minutes the Beacons would gain possession of the ball with less than a minute to play. With less than 30 to play coach Low called a timeout to set up his offense for one last shot in hopes of forcing the overtime.
Tommy Petitti (Quincy, Mass.) would put the first Beacons shot on goal, which hit hard off of the post. With the ball bouncing on the turf, Ellis would scoop-up the groundball and immediately fired off a shot that hit its mark perfectly.
In the overtime, the Beacons attack dominated from start to finish firing off the only four shots of the extra frame. On the afternoon, UMass Boston outshot their conference rivals 45-33 and was 3-for-8 on man-up goals.
Craig Frehill (Norwell, Mass.) continued to anchor the Beacons backline with his 10 saves, while on the attack Powers led UMass with two goals and one assist. Four other Beacons recorded two goals in the huge victory including Ellis.
For the Huskies Ryan Jurgelevich made a combined 15 saves in the loss, while Jeff Urmston scored a game-high three goals.
Lacrosse returns to action on Wednesday when they travel to Regis College for a 5 p.m. non-conference game. The Beacons will then host UMass Dartmouth on Saturday at 1 p.m. in the regular season finale at Clark Athletic Center Field.

Personally I am with Jarvis Cocker, who takes the view that 80s were quite possibly the worst decade to be young in post war Britain. AIDS, Thatcherism, looming nuclear apocalypse, Stock, Aitken and Waterman – boy did we suffer.
Still there was some great music made in the 80s and almost none of it made by fellas in frilly shirts, angular haircuts and synthesisers. Well in my opinion anyway.
And if you always prefered The Psychedelic Furs and The Bunnymen to A Flock of Seagulls and Erasure you'll probably really enjoy Wivenhoe Park, the debut 'novel' by American writer and record label supremo Ben Vendetta.
I place novel deliberately in speech marks, because this is clearly the autobiography of an anglophile American who in the middle of his University career swapped Detroit for the delights of, umm Colchester.
Exchange students…
During the 80s I met quite a few exchange students from across the pond.Most tended to be ultra conservative types decked out in crisply ironed chinos and pastel Ralph Lauren shirts, who mainly frequented the library rather than the bar as they were saving money for the big end of term blitz in Paris or Rome.
There were however a few who didn't fit the template, and these tended to be serious students of British indie music, whose passion for Psychocandy and Wilder had propelled them across the Atlantic to provincial British towns like Reading and in my instance, Lancaster. They were lovely people too and I regret the fact that I have lost touch with almost all of them.
Ben Vendetta was clearly a member of the latter group and Wivenhoe Park charts his, oops sorry, Drew's journey from Michigan based runner and chaser of teenage goth girls through to inhabitant of the Brutalist paradise that is the university of Essex in Colchester.
This is classic coming of age stuff. Drew makes friends, hangs out with bands, dates inappropriate girls, takes drugs and whole lot more. But what makes Wivenhoe Park such a joy is that Ben writes in a very engaging way. In particular Drew isn't your average John Hughes-esque teen novel fodder (I still haven't forgiven him for what he did to Ducky at the end of Pretty In Pink) . Sure does he stupid things and yes he makes mistakes, especially with the ladies, but he is also, smart, funny and blessed with a Forrest Gump style aptitude to be present at key moments in British indie history.
The Indie Forrest Gump
So he catches Bobby Gillespie on the verge of jettisoning the Mary Chain to indulge his Byrds fantasies in Primal Scream. He hangs out in the Hacienda in its awful mid 80s period, and even spots a Manc gothy band who would one day go on to make the seminal album that even 25 years on still, kind of defines the city. Along the way there are cameos from all sorts of indie chancers from The Cure through to Modern English, and even seminal Medway garage punksters The Dentists. Then there are his wonderful ruminations on the lyrics of his heroes too. Ben's take on the title of the third Psychedelic Furs album really will make you smile. Sure it all sounds a bit trainspottery, but the quality of the prose means that you don't have to be have been a fully fledged Anorak clad shambler to enjoy it
Ultimately you are left wondering exactly how much of what ben has written is true. Not that it really matters. If you ever enjoyed High Fidelity, went to a British University in the mid 80s or are counting the days until Cherry Red reissues the legendary C86 compilation (as a two disc set!) you'll love this.

The widespread cold in Southwest Colorado in recent weeks has been penetrating enough to shrivel people, but probably hasnt fazed the spruce bark beetle, foresters say.
It requires days, maybe weeks, of minus 20, minus 30 or minus 40 degrees to affect the bark beetle, which has ravaged broad stands of Engelmann spruce in many areas, including the Weminuche Wilderness north of Durango and Wolf Creek Pass to the east.
The colder it is and the longer its cold will bring more beetle mortality, said Kent Grant, the district forester in Durango for the Colorado State Forest Service. It would be nice to think it could happen, but dont bank on it.
Steve Hartvigsen, a forester with the U.S. Forest Services Pagosa Ranger District, put it this way:
The recent cold may have knocked the beetle back a little. But temperatures havent been cold enough, long enough or widespread enough to have a real effect.
The spruce bark beetle is included in a genus of the androgynous beetles that includes the mountain pine beetle, the western pine beetle and the Douglas-fir beetle.
The beetles often live in downed trees but migrate to large-diameter, standing trees when their population increases.
Spruce beetles usually have a two-year life cycle, although beetles at low elevations may live one year and beetles on cool, well-shaded north slopes can have a three-year life, a U.S. Forest Service report on forest insects and disease says.
Even prolonged cold could have limited effect on the beetle which, through a metabolic process, produces its own antifreeze from ethylene glycol, Hartvigsen said.
Whats more, Grant said, snow, which can be 4 to 6 feet deep at higher elevations, paradoxically offers insulation for the beetle, which makes its home in the cambium and phloem layers of the lower trunk.
Thats where the sugars are, Grant said.
Absent any killing cold, disease could decimate the beetle. The insect also could conceivably eat itself out of a home, Grant said.
Increased moisture could make trees healthier, which would allow them to manufacture more pitch to eject invading beetles, Grant said.
The spruce bark beetle population is such that the insect is attacking smaller trees, which it generally shuns, Hartvigsen said.
The eastern San Juan Mountains may have lost 90 percent of some spruce stands to the bark beetle, he said.
In its 2012 report (the 2013 report isnt out yet), the Colorado State Forest Service said the mountain pine beetle continued to be the most damaging forest pest in 2011.
But it added that in 2007 it identified the spruce pine beetle as the next challenge.
In 2012, the spruce beetle continued to affect mature Engelmann spruce forests in many areas of the state, the report said. The largest outbreak, in the San Juan Mountains and upper Rio Grande Basin, has spread north and now poses a threat to spruce forests on adjacent private lands.
Most of the mature spruce trees already have been killed in the Weminuche Wilderness, but active infestations continue in younger stands and in krummholz (stunted timber) at the edge of the timberline, the report said. Other bark beetles that continued to damage Colorado forests in 2011 include the Douglas-fir beetle, which killed many trees in the Sangre de Cristo and San Juan mountains.

The truth is some people are looking to the past and remaking the same mistakes over and over. 'Why?' you may ask. Simply put some people do not learn from their mistakes, some people refuse to acknowledge that their thinking is set on the wrong path. 'Wrong for who?' you may wonder. Wrong for them.
Remember that media's purpose is to sell something. Sensationalism sells. People being decent to one another...not so much. That does not mean it is not happening.
Unfortunately, even when people know that they are reliving the mistakes of their past, they are not always able to change course. It is often a long and difficult journey to move forward, filled with fear and anxiety. For those that can overcome these things, a happier and more fulfilling life awaits. If only we could all look through the dark clouds and experience the sunshine.*hugs for Xandi always*
No two humans walk the same path, so no two humans have the same experience, which makes each of us unique. I find that thought comforting. What is right for me is not right for someone else. For this fact I love Elliquiy.
I always liked this line from Wuthering Heights:'Thrushcross Grange is my own, sir,' he interrupted, wincing. 'I should not allow any one to inconvenience me, if I could hinder it - walk in!
May 2, 2012"For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are those, it might have been." John Greenleaf WhittierTo me this quote means that the 'what if's' in life can be the hardest to deal with. In life we all have opportunities and choices, how we respond to those can leave us with a 'what if' feeling. When we get older, sometimes it is hard to look back and think about what our life would have been if only we had done this or that. In hindsight everything looks differently. If we dwell in the 'what if's' and the 'it might have been', we can become very sad and depressed. I think it is important to see our missed opportunities as life lessons. Mine have taught me to stay open to new things. I believe my life, up until this very moment, has made me into the person I am now. I look at my missed opportunities, and believe me there have been many, I look at them and it fills me with determination to experience life to the full each and every day. Today's quote fills me with the 'Seize the Day' spirit. We can't change the past, so trying to live there will never make us happy. Learning from the past and making sure to stay open to new experiences in our future, that is what we have control over. My personal goal is never to live with regret. Live each day as if it were my last. Be determined to look back and be happy with the progress I have made along this journey called life. The 'what if's' are a good reflective tool, but that is all they are good for. I will not live in the past, I will strive to develop my future each and every day. This quote, I'm sure you can tell, has special meaning to me. Thank you for letting me share it with you. ______________________________________________As always Live, Love and Laugh for life is to short to do otherwise. Thank you for reading and I send you all hugs for another day.

Save more than $1 million for retirement? Are you kidding? That goal seems so daunting.
Only 46% of workers have even tried to calculate how much money they will need to retire comfortably, according to the 2013 Employee Benefit Research Institute Retirement Confidence Survey. "Most people aren't saving, and they aren't saving enough," says Ruth Helman, co-author of the EBRI survey.
A strong stock market in the past two years has helped retirement accounts, but most investors have a long way to go to reach the $1 million mark. The average 401(k) account balance is $255,000 for participants age 55 and older who have been with their current employer for 10 years, according to Fidelity Investments, one of the largest retirement plan administrators.
The National Retirement Risk Index, put out by the Center for Retirement Research, finds that 53% of U.S. households are at risk of not having enough savings to maintain their living standards in retirement. "You have to make a choice," says Anthony Webb, a senior economist at the Center for Retirement Research. "Work a lot, lot longer or save a lot, lot more."
But reaching $1 million is not impossible, even for ordinary investors. LearnVest spoke to three everyday millionaires who grew their nest eggs through thrift and investment savvy. We asked them how they did it and what advice they would give to investors looking to follow in their footsteps.
RELATED: How I Did It: Real Women, Real Retirement Savings
Laurie Itkin, 44, La Jolla, Calif.
How Much She's Saved: $1.1 million in a 401(k) plan, traditional and Roth IRAs, and a brokerage account.
How She Did It: I lived below my means; that's the number-one reason I've been successful.
I created a $1 million portfolio by the time I was 40. I started investing in the stock market in 1993 when I was 24 years old, with $1,600 my grandmother left me. You have to learn by doing with investing. I started reading The Wall Street Journal every day, like my grandfather.
I always maxed out my 401(k). I put 60% into emerging markets and 40% into growth stocks, meaning stocks that have more volatility than the S&P 500. It was higher risk but offered potentially more returns. I didn't spend one penny of my bonus, sending it straight to my retirement accounts.
As my wealth increased I still lived in a modest apartment. In my mid-30s, I lived like a college student and I was proud of it. When I was dating my husband, Dan, he couldn't believe I had my television on a used table I had bought for $10.
I also made a few decisions contrary to most people. I did not buy real estate when I could afford to, even though I had a $100,000 salary by the time I was 30, working as a telecom lobbyist in Washington, D.C.
RELATED: How to Avoid Derailing Your Retirement
The only debt I had was student loan debt that I paid back, and then no debt at all until I bought a house at 35 with my husband.
Now I live in a community in San Diego where people are overextended, with cars and houses they can't afford. My husband and I live in a 2,000-square-foot condo.
My biggest challenge was watching my friends buy beautiful things while I sacrificed for the future.
Her Advice: I don't care what you have; it's never too late to save and invest. So many people are losing money in their checking accounts because they're afraid to take risks, and money market accounts are paying less than the rate of inflation. You have to take risks in order to get rewards.
You also have to follow some tough rules. I knew from a young age to separate my wants from my needs. My thought process was this: Do I really want a new purse—or would I rather spend that money on some need I may have in the future? My biggest challenge was watching my friends buy beautiful things while I sacrificed for the future.
RELATED: Playchecks? Negative Inheritance? Your Guide to the Latest Retirement Lingo
Dominic Fleming, 61, Baltimore, Md.
How Much He's Saved: $2.3 million in an IRA and brokerage accounts
How He Did It: I hit my first million slightly before I was 50. My nephews call me "rich Uncle Dom," because I like to slip $100 bills in birthday and Christmas cards. They say I'm rich because I was a lawyer, but that's not how I made my money. I worked for the public defender's office in Baltimore, representing poor and middle-class clients. I made my money by saving and investing.
RELATED: Investing 101
Consciously, I started saving when I was 18, but one of the biggest lessons I learned was in kindergarten, when the savings and loan allowed us to open accounts with $5. I put in a few nickels and dimes, and never paid much attention. But when I was 18, it took the bank 30 minutes to update the interest. My money had grown over time—without me doing anything—to $1,000.
I bought my first stock, Baltimore Gas & Electric, almost as a joke. Every time I walked out of a room with the lights on, my father would say, "We don't have stock in the electric company." Now I did. The stock paid dividends, which I thought was a good thing, until I realized you're taxed on those dividends. So I started looking at growth stocks, and at small-company stocks that most people hadn't looked at.
I used to go to the investing section of the library to read books. I liked Peter Lynch's book, " One Up on Wall Street: How to Use What You Already Know to Make Money in the Market." He validated what I was thinking about smaller companies because he advocated investing in what you know. Now investment research is easier; everything is online.
RELATED: Compound Interest 101: How It Works
His Advice: When it comes to stocks, I'm not a big trader; I'm a buy-and-holder. I always looked at bad times as good times to buy stocks. I set up discount brokerage accounts to save on trading costs.
I kept the same lifestyle when I earned more money. When I found a neighborhood I wanted to live in, I'd buy the cheapest house. My rule was I didn't want to spend more than three times my gross income on my home. I also always saved for a new car instead of financing it.
RELATED: Saving for Retirement? Simple Steps to Get Started
Neil McCarthy, 73, Roswell, Ga.
How Much He's Saved: $2.1 million in retirement accounts plus an annuity and a pension.
How He Did It: I maximized my retirement accounts at my employers, and I invested money on my own. I worked at Union Carbine for 20 years as a research chemist and received a pension.
I started investing in stocks when I was 30. A stock broker came to the office to prospect for clients. After meeting the broker, I ended up talking to a co-worker about what stocks I should buy.
From there, I became interested in investing and did a lot of research on stocks. I often bought closed-end funds (mutual funds that you can buy on a stock exchange) that I thought were selling at a discount to their underlying value.
My wife, Maureen, worked as a first-grade teacher until my two sons, now 42 and 43, graduated college. The income helped pay for their college education.
After 20 years at Union Carbine, I moved from the New York City area to the Atlanta area to work as a financial analyst for BP Amoco in 1990. I invested my 401(k) plan in low-cost index funds. I benefited from the bull market of the 1990s, but I kept my money in the market in good times and bad.
I retired from BP Amoco in 2000 and starting managing my own money. I became a certified financial planner™. Now I offer advice to people on how they should manage their money in retirement.
His Advice: Save the maximum in your retirement plans and make it automatic. If you have to take that money out of your paycheck, you're never going to save enough. Basically, pay yourself first.

I'm over it. I really am… but when it happened yesterday I wasn't okay. At first my feelings were hurt… After about an hour of that, I got angry. I'm slowly letting that go today – but I dislike that a 10 second interaction I didn't ask for can waste my time and energy in this way.
It's happened before – the headshake. (I wonder if other interracial couples have encountered it?)
What is "The Headshake?" – It is, in my own experience, something older white males do when they see a white woman with a non-white man.
Carlos has never seen the headshake. The headshake is always targeted at me, as if older white males have the right, the authority, or even the duty, to let me know that they disapprove of my relationship. Funny, they don't have the cojones to let Carlos know they disapprove. They may be ignorant but they aren't stupid. Apparently they don't want to get their ass kicked.
This is how it happens. Carlos and I will be in a public place – usually shopping. We're holding hands. An older white male will make eye contact with me, and I will feel cold all of a sudden, because this isn't the kind of eye contact that precedes a smile, nor is it a simple curious glance from a fellow human being. The stare is one that makes me feel immediately ill because the negative energy is palpable. And then, keeping eye contact, the man will shake his head as if chastising a naughty child.
Carlos will turn to see what I'm looking at – the man will look away … usually even walk away – disappearing within seconds. Again, where are your cojones? If you've got something to say, say it to my husband's face… In fact, say it to my face because though I usually would promote a non-violent solution, if you catch me on the wrong day, I have no qualms about setting things straight if needs be.
So here is my question – If you're an intercultural, interracial, or an otherwise "non-traditional" couple, have you ever experienced "The Headshake?" If you have, how did you respond? Do you think such an individual should be confronted or ignored?

Ken,I have exchanged messages with the President of IGO over my concerns with the new IGO cache "Tagging" process. Below I have provided my thoughts and would like to know your opinion and how in practice you use this process.
I believe this will not enhance geocaching (to the contrary) and that a proper, open method already exists to accomplish the desired result. In effect, this creates two parallel systems. Publicly, you, the administrator or other Groundspeak volunteer, warns the owner and they generally have 30 days. The open system, governed by geocaching.com/Groundspeak, provides if someone publicly abuses the "Needs Maintenance" or "Needs Archived" logging, the system will be self-correcting. However, the underground, anonymous system, is not self-correcting and is without benefit of public exposure to the point of not requiring the "tagger" to have personally posted a "Needs Archived" log. Further, it appears that archiving is instantaneous.
While I share everyone's frustration with caches that are not maintained, I believe this "cure" is worse than the disease. It will result in accusations, retaliations and misunderstandings. If one is concerned about caches needing justified attention – use the "Needs Maintenance" or "Needs Archived" logs. The IGO tagging will be influenced by individual personal bias and opinions of what geocaching is supposed to be – bias that we all carry. Even with the purest of intentions, hard feelings will be the result.I believe we have enough squabbles and misunderstandings in the caching community. We simply do not need more fuel for the fire. While at times we all feel the need to be the geo-police, it is ill-advised to give in to the temptation. I further submit there is a better system already in place that is reasonably impartial and is certainly in the open.RLowtek/John
My response:
Thanks for your feedback.
A few responses...
First of all, archiving a cache is not a death sentence for a cache.
It's simply another method to take it off the books until the owner decides to do something about the DNFs, Needs Maintenance, or SBA logs. If, after archiving, the owner truly wants to keep the cache going, he or she needs to be prompt about getting it fixed before another cache takes its place. In most cases it can be brought back to life with a simple email to me explaining that it has been maintained and is ready to be unarchived.
Second, I agree with you that there is already a system in place for dealing with caches that need attention. I don't view the IGO tagging process as a replacement for the geocaching.com system of logs. Rather, it's a useful supplement to that system because it gives the elected organization leaders a way to notify me about caches they feel need to be maintained. I view it as a useful aid to help me monitor caches that may be in need of TLC.
Regarding whether there was a Needs Archived log on a cache before it is archived, I agreed that there should be. In fact, I pointed this out to the IGO board -- requesting that they not forward to me requests for archiving unless there has been a SBA log posted on it for a reasonable amount of time -- say two weeks -- without a response from the cache owner.
I hope this clears up the situation and the current interaction I have with IGO about its tagging system and how I respond to it.

KQED World: Sat, Jun 6, 2015 -- 5:30 PM
Now more than ever, American citizens are discontented and disillusioned with national politics, with approval ratings for Congress consistently ranking low regardless of the party in power. Senior politicians also note the disappearance of the collegiality they once shared with peers of differing political ideologies. As a result, the ability to discuss issues from varying points of view and negotiate solutions, appears to be fading from the American political process.
Among many topics, this program addresses the decline in civil discourse and the news media's role in it, partisan gridlock, gerrymandering, vanishing commitment to reasonable compromise, the vilification of moderates and declining civic engagement. It relies on interviews with a broad range of political experts and observers from journalists, academics and political strategists to senior elected officials. They include: journalist Bob Schieffer (CBS News), Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Susan Collins (R-MA), Fmr Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN), Fmr Sen. Alan Simpson (R-WY), Fmr Sen. John Warner (R-VA) .

Beastie Boys Not Letting Goldieblox Off; Launch Massive Countersuit
from the that's-unfortunate deptThought the GoldieBlox vs Beastie Boys fight was over? Nope. While Goldieblox had posted a blog post effectively conceding that it would drop the lawsuit and stop using the song, it appears that they made no move to actually drop the lawsuit (and given how quickly they filed the original lawsuit, it would seem that they could have dismissed it equally quickly). So, now the Beastie Boys have filed their response and countersued on a variety of theories.
Now, I know that many people who initially sided with Goldieblox "switched sides," arguing that this was all a publicity stunt by the company. I think there are two separate issues: whether you like this as a publicity stunt and whether or not the use of the song was infringing. Unfortunately, many people are conflating the two. I agree that it's crass and quite lame to use the legal system as a PR tool, and it certainly doesn't reflect positively on Goldieblox as a company. It's pretty clear they were itching for a legal fight and probably pulled the trigger on filing for declaratory judgment too quickly (though, contrary to the claims of some, filing for declaratory judgment when someone suggests you infringed on their rights is a fairly common practice, and there are plenty of good reasons to do so). But I think that's a separate issue from whether or not the use of the song was infringing -- and it's very important to keep the two issues distinct in thinking about the legal issues here.
Given a variety of factors it's not at all surprising that the Beastie Boys have countersued. They were clearly angry about the use of the song (since they have made it explicit they don't like their music used in advertising) and about how the whole situation went down with the declaratory judgment request being filed so quickly, after their lawyers had sent a basic inquiry. That said, it's still disappointing to see the Beastie Boys decide to ramp up the legal effort here, and it still seems like their case is not a strong one. We've already discussed how the Goldieblox use can be fair use, and that there are multiple legal precedents that support that position. The Beastie Boys counter that this is not fair use at all. If this doesn't get settled (and I'd bet good money that it does get settled), a ton of arguments will get thrown back and forth on this point. I can make what I believe is a very strong argument that this is clearly fair use, while others can counter with arguments why it's not. As with so many fair use cases, unfortunately, the end result is often the emotional decision a judge makes about whether it "feels" like fair use, and then works backwards to make the fair use factors fit the preconceived idea. It's a bit of a crapshoot, even as I think it should clearly be fair use.
The Beastie Boys don't stop there however, adding trademark infringement, unfair competition and publicity rights claims to their counterattack. Frankly, all of these seem incredibly weak. It is true that the original Goldieblox video did put "The Beastie Boys" in the title of the video, which some have suggested may have lead to confusion over whether or not the Beastie Boys supported the campaign. This is mainly the basis for most of these additional claims, but it seems rather weak. There's no denying that the song was a take-off on The Beastie Boys' song "Girls." The question is whether or not it was infringing and whether that take-off is a parody. Stating accurately what the take-off is based on isn't trademark infringement, unfair competition or a violation of the band's publicity rights, as it didn't suggest support or endorsement by the band. It just, accurately, noted that the song was a Beastie Boys song. If the use of the song was fair use, then it's perfectly reasonable, as well, to highlight where the song was from.
Two other interesting points from the lawsuit. First, the Beastie Boys highlight that Goldieblox had created ads doing similar take-off parodies (though, obviously they don't call it that) on other popular songs. But, again, if they are fair use then that doesn't matter. Making the case that this is a pattern of activity only makes a difference if it's not fair use. Second, the Beastie Boys are not messing around when it comes to the remedies sought. Not only do they want an injunction, but they're also asking for an "accounting" of how much Goldieblox made as a result of this campaign, and using that to argue for actual damages from Goldieblox.
We talk a lot about "statutory damages" in copyright law, because that's what most copyright holders seek, in part because they claim it would be too difficult to figure out "actual damages," but mostly because the statutory damages numbers are insanely high (up to $150,000 per infringement). Here, however, it appears that the Beastie Boys and their lawyers smell blood in the water, and recognize that if they can convince the court that the money Goldieblox made from people buying its products after seeing the ad are a form of "damage" to the Beastie Boys, they could potentially collect significantly more money -- all of which they are arguing should be handed over to the band (while reserving the right to go for statutory damages if the end result of that is more):
For an award of the Beastie Boys Parties' actual damages and lost profits they have sustained as a result of GoldieBlox's unlawful acts of copyright infringement and to recover from GoldieBlox the gains, profits, and advantages GoldieBlox has obtained as a result of the wrongful conduct alleged herein, in an amount to be determined at trial, or, at their election, an award of statutory damages...This seems fairly extreme again. Even if we accept that this was a giant publicity stunt, and even if it drove a bunch of sales, to argue that all of the gains and profits belong to the band is pretty crazy. People didn't buy the toys because of the music. It may have helped draw attention to the toys, but it was the toys themselves that people were buying (and let's leave out the separate debate over whether or not Goldieblox's toys are actually any good -- that's an irrelevant tangent here).
In the end, it can reasonably be argued that Goldieblox poked the Beastie Boys with a legal stick as part of a publicity campaign, which is increasingly looking like a major strategic miscalculation (perhaps both on the PR side, since there's been so much backlash, and now on the legal side). The Beastie Boys have now hit back hard. This isn't surprising.
Still, even if you think that Goldieblox's actions are reprehensible from the stunt side, if you believe in the importance of fair use, it's disappointing to see the Beastie Boys make this move. As we've noted, the band itself relied on fair use for quite a bit of their own work, and a ruling in this case in their favor would tragically reduce fair use and limit the ability to parody, something that would truly be a loss for culture and society.

4 easy ways to make your skin look its best
Thanks largely in part to the Internet -- think YouTube tutorials, Instagram how-tos and tons of product reviews -- you're pretty savvy regarding all things beauty. But while mastering the perfect cat eye is as simple as tuning in to a one-minute video, getting great skin requires a long-term commitment.
Your skin starts out close to perfect -- hydrated with great elasticity, wrinkle-free and, of course, smooth as a baby's ... well, you know. Though your genetics are responsible for things like pore size, skin tone and skin sensitivity, plenty of other offenders can cause your skin to act up. For instance, a rise in hormone levels can bring on breakouts no matter what type of skin you have, and the sun shoulders most of the blame for wrinkles.
As a millennial gal, you should start practicing healthy skin care habits now to help avoid the need for problem solving when you're older. Here are four skin-saving tricks you should incorporate into your routine:
1. Wear Sunscreen to Prevent Dark Spots
News flash: Age spots have nothing to do with your age and everything to do with sun exposure. These permanent pigmented marks are the result of skin that has been repeatedly bombarded with ultraviolet rays. So whether you're celebrating your 18th birthday or your 30th, the only way to prevent age spots is with daily sun protection in the form of -- you guessed it -- sunscreen. You can't go wrong with a sheer lotion like Advanced Suncare Silky Sheer BB Face Lotion 50+.
2. Go Hands-Free to Avoid Breakouts
You probably know by now that you shouldn't pick a blemish. Unless you're employing a surgical-style hand-washing regimen, your fingers are likely spreading harmful bacteria to other pores and creating even more blemishes. However, keeping your skin clear goes beyond just washing your hands. Brace yourself -- what you're about to read may rock your world. Between texting, tossing it from purse to purse and shoving it in the pocket of your pants, your phone is a major source of bacteria. The last place it belongs is near your face. An easy solution: Invest in a great pair of headphones.
3. Cleanse Daily to Banish Large Pores
Because the size of your pores is determined by genetics, you can't physically shrink them. That's the bad news. The good news is that you can help prevent them from getting larger and even help make them appear smaller. Cleansing your face regularly with an exfoliating wash will help keep pores dirt- and oil-free -- clogging is the main culprit of stretched-out pores. The best way to help minimize the appearance of your pores is with a topical treatment. Look for a lightweight cream with perlite (an ingredient that helps absorb oil) and a high concentration of Perline-P (an ingredient that strengthens the pore walls). Our favorite is Youth Code Texture Perfector Pore Vanisher.
4. Eat Super Foods to Get Your Glow On
Revamp your diet to include foods that will boost your anti-aging efforts. Watermelon and mangoes are high in carotenoids, which help guard against sunburn. Blueberries are a natural antioxidant and will help protect you from premature aging. Wild salmon (not farm-raised) is another wonder food. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, it will help keep your skin supple and moisturized.
Now that your skin care regimen is set, check out the tools you need to enhance your summer glow.

Used in a wide range of automation equipment, including directional control valves and temperature control equipment, actuators are responsible for determining how and when a mechanism will function. All that an actuator needs to function is a control signal of some kind and an energy supply, typically an electric current. When the device in question receives its predetermined control signal, the actuator responds. It usually does this by process of changing the energy received into a mechanical motion, such as opening a valve. Where an electronic system is using an actuator, software can also be used to guide the function and this is especially useful for more complex operations like those used by robots or industrial machinery. An example of an actuator which is manufactured for use within industrial systems is a shock absorber. These are rated according to the maximum impact force they can handle as well as the energy consumption they require to run. A number of shock absorber accessories are also available, such as stopper nuts and foot brackets. Another type, solenoid actuators, work like any electromagnet to create a field when current is passed through it. They, therefore, allow electric systems to do physical work and are rated by their lifting force in Newtons. Holding solenoids and rotary solenoids are other versions which are also frequently used in industrial settings.

Billings. Mont.-based dealership Metra RV Center has been sold, according to a report in the Billings Gazette.
Jim and Mileen Vandeberg, who started Metra RV in 1999, wanted to retire. So, three years ago, they started trying to sell their business and property. One would-be buyer made an offer.
"They just couldn't raise the capital," Jim Vandeberg said.
The new owners, Doug and Debbie Becker of Laurel, Mont., paid an undisclosed price for more than 100 RVs sitting on nine acres. Before buying the Lockwood business, Debbie worked in the insurance industry and Doug worked as distribution manager for Coca-Cola in Montana and Wyoming, plus running a Laurel utility trailer business with his dad.
All Metra RV's employees are staying and their skilled service will continue, Doug Becker said.
The Beckers appear eager to learn from the Vandebergs, but they have their own ideas for boosting Metra RV's sales.
"We're looking at some specialty trailers built for the oil fields, low-temperature ones," he said. "We have one here that's good to 50 below."
Oil field business was just one reason the Beckers bought the business. But Vandeberg said that makes sense to him.
"I think Doug is going to do a lot of business with the oil folks in the Bakken and we hear Roundup is getting going with oil activity, too, so that's bound to help them," he said.
Jim Vandeberg will stay on until fall as a consultant to help the Beckers learn the business. Then the Vandebergs plan on heading south to Arizona for the winter in, what else, their RV.

Effective Lincecum pleased with latest outing
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Royals hitters made plenty of contact against Giants ace Tim Lincecum in his three innings on Friday afternoon.
None of it was the good kind -- and that's all that matters to Lincecum.
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Royals hitters made plenty of contact against Giants ace Tim Lincecum in his three innings on Friday afternoon.
None of it was the good kind -- and that's all that matters to Lincecum.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner needed just 35 pitches (26 of them strikes) to get through the three frames, an efficient outing that he hopes typifies his 2014 season. Lincecum allowed two hits and did not record a strikeout or a walk.
"I had a few swings and misses here, which is something I'm looking for," Lincecum said. "It would have been nice to get them on the third strike, ... but outs are outs, and hopefully I'll be able to turn those into strikeouts later."
Lincecum's fastball velocity stayed around 90 mph for most of the game -- a number he expects to increase as camp goes on. Still, velocity isn't at the top of Lincecum's spring checklist.
"I'm hoping it will [increase], just as I get my arm strength up and as I get extended a little more and get a feel for myself on the mound during a game-time atmosphere," Lincecum said. "I'm not really too worried about trying to get it up, or where it's at. It's all about placement, and I know if I just set my sights low [in the zone], I'm better off."
Lincecum said there has been a noticeable difference in his command when he has fallen behind in the count this spring. He has been effective within the strike zone, inducing weaker contact.
Lincecum pointed to a return in confidence, related to his offseason regimen, which was much more intense than in past winters.
"I did all the work, I put in the time that I needed to this offseason, which leaves me in a better mental state when I go out there," Lincecum said. "I'm not wondering if it's a mechanical issue, and if it is a mechanical issue, I can fix it quickly."
Lincecum's outing Friday continued a dominant trend for the Giants' staff. In 21 Cactus League innings, San Francisco starters have allowed only four runs -- three of them earned. The projected starting five has tossed 23 frames and allowed just one run.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- In his heart of hearts, Eli Manning knows this was a winning season in record only. He knows he had a chance to do something no New York Giants quarterback had ever done, a squandered chance that might haunt him for the balance of his career and beyond.
Out of the playoffs and out of luck, stripped of his shot at being the first Giant to lead his team to back-to-back championships, Manning knows why his 9-7 feels more like 7-9. He's playing against NFL history now, trying to join the ultra-exclusive club of Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw, Troy Aikman, and Tom Brady as the only men to win at least three Super Bowl rings.
And if he never gets there, if he ends up stuck on two forever, 2012 will be one that keeps him awake at night. No, the career-high five touchdown passes he just threw in a 42-7 rout of the Philadelphia Eagles won't comfort him in the dead of night.
"It hurts," Manning said.
As it should.
"There's no enjoyment," he said, "in not going to the playoffs. ... Each year you want to make the playoffs to give yourself the opportunity to win a championship. 9-7 last year was good enough. It wasn't good enough this year, and we knew it wasn't going to be."
The Giants had no good excuse to miss the postseason tournament, an unforgiving truth they will take to their graves. They had the requisite leadership and talent at the positions of head coach, quarterback, and pass-rusher, and though they suffered their share of injuries, so did everyone else and then some.
Hakeem Nicks wasn't Hakeem Nicks, but the Giants still had enough playmakers to win the NFC East, or to at least secure a wild card. That's the shame of this playoff-free season, Manning's third in four years. It didn't have to go down like this. The Giants should've never ended up hoping and praying for the 4-11 Lions to beat the Bears, a desperate bailout plan if there ever was one.
The Motor City was the place where this New York season officially went to die, no matter how much Eli and friends tried to wish away the inevitable. The Giants did a ton of scoreboard watching Sunday, and when Detroit cut Chicago's lead to 20-17 in the third quarter, and cut it again to 26-24 in the fourth, the MetLife crowd let go of its most hopeful roars of the day.
The Giants were just trying to make it alive until the later games, but counting on the Lions was counting on a lost cause. Manning and teammates didn't get the word until they were in their locker room, word, Eli said, "that it wasn't going to work out the way we wanted to."
Of course, the season was thrown away in Atlanta and Baltimore, where the Giants were beaten by a combined score of 67-14 and where two ring-free upstarts, Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco, badly outplayed the two-time Super Bowl MVP. Manning didn't even throw for 165 yards in either blowout, punctuating a late-season fade -- interrupted by the big games against Green Bay and New Orleans -- that mocked the early-season campaign for Eli as league MVP.
Nobody's saying it was all Manning's fault. The offensive line buckled more than it had in the past. The stars on the defensive front, Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora and Jason Pierre-Paul, were a shell of what they were across last year's charmed championship run, and when the Giants don't get to the other guy's quarterback, they don't win.
But Tuck, Umenyiora and JPP aren't face-of-the-franchise players, and they aren't working under $100 million contracts, either. (Just ask Osi.) Manning rightfully got most of the credit when the Giants won their two titles, so he deserves most of the blame for fumbling away a division his team should've locked away a month ago.
It's something for the quarterback to think about when he blows out the candles Thursday on the occasion of his 32nd birthday.
"Each year," Manning said, "especially as I get older and guys, teammates, get older in their careers, you don't know how many opportunities you're going to have to be on a team that has the talent to possibly win a championship, the talent to make the playoffs and give yourself a chance to make it a special season.
"I feel like we have that talent here on this team. Obviously there's not a whole lot of changeover from last year. We had the ability to make the playoffs, and we're disappointed that we didn't play up to our ability each week."
The last time the Giants failed to repeat as champs, they had a fairly unique reason. Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg in a Manhattan nightclub over the extended Thanksgiving weekend, and Tom Coughlin would eventually admit to ESPNNewYork.com that his team couldn't overcome "losing a player of that magnitude."
With no such drama or trauma this time around, the Giants were left with no acceptable answers for what happened in Atlanta and Baltimore, and for failing to match the 2008 team's trip to the postseason. Sunday, when he was done handing Andy Reid and (most likely) Michael Vick their final defeats as Eagles, Coughlin said he planned to ask his players, "What in the world was the last two weeks all about?"
He probably wasn't going to be satisfied with the responses. "I usually figure it out myself," the coach said, "but this one's a little tougher."
Actually, this tale of two 9-7s -- good enough for a championship one year, bad enough for a flameout the next -- isn't as difficult to figure out as Coughlin might suspect. Manning elevated the 2011 team when he absolutely needed to, and he failed to do the same for the 2012 team.
"I don't think it's a lack of hunger or focus," the franchise quarterback said of the losses to the Falcons and Ravens. "We just got outperformed."
Eli got outperformed above all others. He's still very much an elite quarterback, still a future Hall of Famer, still the kind of long-baller you want at the plate in the bottom of the ninth.
But the Giants had enough talent to reach the playoffs, and Manning didn't maximize that talent. In the end his 9-7 season was, in fact, a losing season, a wasted opportunity to enhance his legacy in the race against his own biological clock.

An 18th-Century Trades Sampler
a photographic essay by 1999 Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute participants
Introduction /

Founder /

Printer & Bookbinder / Shoemaker / Silversmith / Wigmaker / Summary
By the beginning of the 18th century, the economy in Virginia was becoming stable. Tradesmen and investors saw the potential for profit in the local production of goods, just as there was money to be made through owning land. As the 18th century progressed, towns were established, and people accumulated enough wealth to support more than the most necessary local trades. During the third quarter of the 1700s two hundred twenty-eight identifiable artisans worked in Williamsburg in 44 different occupations. In 1775 about 25% of the white male population over the age of sixteen were skilled workmen. There were also many slaves, apprentices, indentured servants and free journeymen who never appear in the records but worked with the identified tradesmen. However, labor remained in short supply, Virginians still imported the vast majority of the products they needed from England, and tradesmen frequently invested in land while continuing to practice a trade.
Labor in Virginia, especially skilled labor, was scarce and expensive. Rapidly increasing demand far exceeded the production capabilities of the few local artisans. Despite the county court's power to review accounts and inspect completed work in cases of disputed value, prices for Virginia goods remained much more expensive than their English counterparts. The scarcity and high cost of labor led some wealthy Virginians to encourage English artisans to immigrate to the colony and engage in work for them. The lack of a guild system meant that many tradesmen undertook work in related trades as well as their primary trade.
While many skilled workers in rural areas gave up their trade to pursue lucrative tobacco farming, many tradesmen in town continued to practice the "arts and mysteries" of their trade and own or speculate in land at the same time. James Geddy, Sr., a gunsmith, and his son William both owned land outside of town. Richard Charlton, a Williamsburg barber-wigmaker, owned several thousand acres at the falls of the Ohio River. Alexander Craig, a saddler, may have speculated in land. Skilled tradesmen found profit in owning businesses, and the profits allowed them to acquire more wealth through purchasing and cultivating land or buying other businesses.
Some successful artisans acquired the title of gentleman, and some served in government posts. Twelve Williamsburg tradesmen served on the city council. They often served on grand juries, and several acted as justices of the peace in the county courts.
Virginia's 18th century economy was fueled by the growth of tobacco. As planters realized greater profits from their fields, the demand for English and colony made consumer goods increased. Artisans successfully practiced a wide variety of trades in the city and served customers from the countryside as well as those in the capitol. An advertisement in the Virginia Gazette provides insight into the economic opportunity that was available in Virginia:
"Wanted immediately, A Journeyman Shoemaker that understands the Business well in all its Branches. Such a one, that can come well recommended, for an honest, industrious, sober Man, will meet with Encouragement to his Satisfaction, a good seat of Work and his money paid every Saturday Night if he chooses it."
|This trades sampler was compiled from digital camera pictures taken by participants in the summer 1999 Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute. The sampler is not intended to be an exhaustive study of 18th-century trades or the trades practiced today in the Colonial Williamsburg historic area. It is our hope that this sampler provides basic information and entices you to explore further.

Biographical/Historical note
The Womens' Recreation Association (WRA) was set up to fulfill recreational needs and desires of women students on campus. It had three parts: recreational clubs, intramurals, and co-rec. Intramurals gave the women opportunity to compete based on living groups. There was an intramural board which consisted of the vice president of the WRA and two appointed WRA members. The board selected a manager for each activity. The activities included badminton, volleyball, co-ed volleyball, swimming, basketball, bowling, skiing, gymnastics, track and field, archery, synchronized swimming, co-ed golf, tennis, and softball. The Crimson W program also fell under the WRA. The Crimson W, an honorary athletic organization for women, encourages good sportsmanship and sponsors athletic enterprise on the campus. To earn a Crimson W, the women had to participate in a variety of activities within the sports department and earn 900 points.
Scope and Contents note
The collection was maintained in its original order, with the scrapbooks moved to the end. Box 1 consists of the two notebooks and folders with photos and papers relating to meetings, and "Crimson W". The second box consists of three scrapbook albums which include news clippings and photographs. The third box contains the three scrapbooks added in 2010, removed from their bindings and foldered.

|Assemble and operate your paper moving model kit.
|Level 7 - Challenging
|Automaton, Keith Newstead
|Approx. 16 x 13 x 25 cm
|Cardboard Envelope Box
Product Description
It's not true that all cats are afraid of water. This seafaring kitty was formerly a pirates's pet. An expert oarsman who knows every nook and cranny along the coast, he now makes a fine living by smuggling stolen treasure.
Paper automata are not just toys. They are works of art and demonstrations of science. A lot of thought goes into the design of every model. Pull the levers, turn the crank and watch with delight as the model springs into life.
They are constructed from paper rather than plastic. Paper is lightweight, strong, easy to work with and environmentally friendly. The models require no tools for assembly. They also teach the mechanical principles of levers and gears.
About the designer: Keith Newstead, born in 1956 in the U.K, was fascinated with penny arcades during his childhood. The machines he saw there inspired him to become an automata designer.
After decades in the field, Keith Newstead has become a worldwide master automata designer. His works are very artistic and many famous brands have asked him to work on creative collaborations. His automate can be seen in the British Museum, the Tower of London, and the U.K.'s National Gallery.

The Washington Redskins introduced some new throwback uniforms for 2012 and they are pretty cool. But just how cool? We'll reserve final judgment until we see them in action.
So for right now, let's take a look at six coolest throwback uniforms in the NFL right now.
The Bills, of course, will be left off this list because they did the right thing and went with the old look. These teams should do the same.
Honorable mention: Detroit Lions
The first thing the Lions should do is rid themselves of any black in the uniform. Those black-tinged uniforms only remind me of the Joey Harrington era in Detroit. Or worse, Matt Millen. Why not go back to an era of the Lions winning to welcome a new era of the Lions winning this year? Oh yeah, the Lions are going to the playoffs this year.
Honorable mention: Atlanta Falcons
There could be a case made for the truly old-school Falcons look with the black uniforms and red helmets. But why not go back to the Steve Bartkowski/William Andrews/Alfred Jenkins era with the red uniforms and red helmets?
No. 6 Seattle Seahawks (road)
The Seahawks had one of the best color schemes in the NFL, and they had to go out and ruin it. And then the club further started thumbing its nose at the team's fans by going to a lime-green alternate uniform. Why would the Seahawks ever want to shy away from this classic look? Plus this makes for a good fashion matchup against other teams.
No. 6 Seattle Seahawks (home)
NFL Films recently showed Emmitt Smith breaking the all-time rushing mark, a moment that was ruined because the Seahawks were wearing some horrific dark uniforms. At some point, I figure the NFL Films crew will have to re-edit the footage to put the Seahawks in their proper royal blue uniforms with the silver pants. Silver pants and silver helmets work great with white uniforms.
No. 5 Houston Oilers (road)
As evidenced by the Bills throwbacks (and later in this list), the AFL really knew what they were doing when it came to uniforms. The goal, obviously, was to stand out on television, something that would be huge with new high definition televisions. You could just about put every AFL team on the list, but these handsome uniforms really need to return to the NFL full time. The socks rock on this, too.
No. 5 Houston Oilers (home)
Here's my gripe, though. How come the Texans didn't get to participate in the AFL throwback party? Bud Adams should have forfeited the Oilers name (like Art Modell did with the Browns) when the franchise moved to Tennessee. The football franchise in Houston should not only be the Oilers, at the very least, the Texans should have adopted these uniforms.
No. 4 San Diego Chargers (road)
The Chargers continue to get closer to the uniforms that everybody wants to see with each passing uniform design. The current Chargers uniforms are not offensive, and do work somewhat. But nothing beats these classic all white uniforms. And really, it is hard to beat an all-white uniform with a white helmet. Come on Chargers, do the right thing!
No. 4 San Diego Chargers (home)
There have been different variations with the powder blue. Some of the Lance Alworth era had gold pants. But nothing is better than the white pants here. And to belabor this point again, the fans have overwhelmingly said they want those powder blue uniforms back as evidenced by the number of fans who wear those jerseys at Qualcomm Stadium. Do the right thing, Chargers.
No. 3 Philadelphia Eagles (road)
The Eagles have had a number of great uniforms in the past, but this 1970s version of the road uniform is awesome. Those sleeves really make the uniform, though it might not work considering that most players now tuck their sleeves underneath their shoulder pads. Maybe it could work in conjunction with some striped undershirts.
No. 3 Philadelphia Eagles (home)
While we go back to the 1970s for the road uniforms, the Eagles should go back all the way to 1960 for its home uniforms. This shade of green really needs to come back for the Eagles. And besides, why not pay homage to the Chuck Bednarik era? If this was good enough for Concrete Charlie, then it is good enough for the current Eagles.
No. 2 New England Patriots (road)
Let's start with the logo. Replacing Pat the Patriot with the flying Elvis was worse than the Tuck Rule. But again, the thing that makes the road uniforms sing are the all-white uniforms with a white helmet. And let me make the general point that no team should ever wear solid-colored pants with a white jersey.
No. 2 New England Patriots (home)
Again, the 50th anniversary of the AFL only served to remind everybody that teams used to have really awesome uniforms. In the Patriots' case, red is a much more menacing color that not enough teams take advantage of. Besides, if the Bills are doing the right thing and going back to their old-school uniforms, how long before the Patriots make this the full-time look. Do the right thing, Patriots!
No. 1 Los Angeles Rams (road)
You know what makes this uniform great? The yellow sleeves. I was almost willing to go with the Fearsome Foursome era blue and white, but the yellow makes it. Plus, as Dave Dameshek is quick to point out, the gray facemask is much more superior to the blue helmet. The team did go to the blue facemask during the Eric Dickerson era, but that never quite looked right.
No. 1 Los Angeles Rams (home)
Probably the best uniform in NFL history. What's cool about the Rams' classic look is that the only white on the jersey is on the nameplate. However, the current St. Louis version of the team should not revert to these uniforms. Instead, if the Rams ever moved back to Los Angeles, what a fitting way to welcome the team back than to bring back this classic look?

In a exhibition held in Moscow, Russian officials have exposed a piece of a skull that is supposed to be of Adolf Hitler, who allegedly committed suicide on April 30, 1945. Over the years the disclosure of some facts, the publication of some works of credible and reputable researchers access to the alleged forensic evidence saved by the Russians meant that if you opened the door on the theory that Adolf Hitler did not in fact died in Berlin in 1945 . In fact as you will see later in the official version of events leaves many doubts as to its veracity.
I invite you to reed the official version of the death of Adolf Hitler below.
The final moment
On April 29, was the day of the final meeting. General Weidling, military governor of Berlin, and commander of the LVI Panzer Corps, also raised the possibility of an attempt to escape through the Soviet lines, but dissuaded Hitler. Had neither troops nor equipment or ammunition to any type of operation. The option was to stay and die!
The Führer then formally saluted of the closest people that have followed im so far. those who were in the bunker reacted in an unexpected way. Many, after putting records on the phonograph, began to dance and happily got along with others, as if a crushing weight, suddenly, had been lifted off them. The allure of sorcerer that Hitler exercised over them ceased as if by magic.
After lunch, on April 30, locked up with Eva Braun in his chambers. There was only one shot. When the close colaboraters entered they found him with his head shattered by a bullet and the gun lying on the lap. Opposite him, in the languor of dead, Eva Braun, with no visible injuries. She ingested cyanide, a very powerful poison. It was 15:30 hours! Quickly the two bodies, were wrapped in a tarp, removed to the courtyard and, with the help of 180 gallons of gasoline, fired, a vigorous pyre. Around them, a silent fascist salute paid them the ultimate tribute.
Suposed last foto of Adolf Hitler in the Bunker on the day of its dead
On May 2, the last German defenders of Berlin capitulated before the Soviets. The Red Army entered the bunker where Hitler's were in retreat since January 17. They found the charred bodies of Joseph Goebbels, his wife Magda and their six children who had been poisoned. In the same place, the corpse of a man with a mustache, made the soldiers believe for a moment that was Hitler. In a detailed observation, concluded it was a lookalike .. Arose the suspicion that Hitler had fled, eliminating its double.
This body was discovered by the Russian contingent in Berlin and assumed to be Adolf Hitler. It is actually Gustav Weler, Hitler's doppelganger (body double), who was executed with a gunshot to the forehead.
Doubts about the death of Hitler would last for decades. Two charred bodies were buried and found in a crater three feet from the door of the bunker. Secret autopsies are done to the bodies that were supposed to be those of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, who would have committed suicide moments after getting married. The obscure operations of the Soviets and the omission of facts, had created doubts about the death of Hitler. For over a decade the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), service of American intelligence, undertook a hunt around the world, chasing false information that said that Hitler was living with a new face in the United States, Japan, Brazil, Colombia, and further investigated the hypothesis, Argentina. Unaware of autopsies, Stalin himself believed that the Nazi leader was alive. The final conclusions would only end with the Soviet Union in 1991, when secret documents were presented to the world. In 2000, the top of a skull, attributed to Hitler, was the attraction of an exhibition held in Moscow to commemorate the 55 years since the end of World War II. Some historians have doubted the authenticity of the skull, which they said could only be confirmed through DNA analysis. Legends, lies, obscure facts, the death of Hitler was a disappointment for the Allies, who had no visible body of the dictator for public viewing. Hitler's death left many suspicions and misunderstandings. Hitler, the man who for decades had become the most feared and powerful of the world could still be alive.
Mystery Quest - Hitler`s Escape
Here I leave a few lines of an excellent book on this subject that I advise everyone to read
"Hitler's Escape There always have been doubts as to Hitler's alleged suicide in his bunker in Berlin on April 30, 1945. The most authoritarian doubter was the Russian Dictator Joseph Stalin who was convinced that Hitler escaped to Spain in April of 1945. We now have a serious and well researched book by Ron T. Hansig entitled "Hitler's Escape" in which he makes a very convincing case that Stalin was correct in his statements to his western Allies in 1945, telling them that Hitler (and Eva Braun) were still alive. One of Hansig's starling revelations is, that the man present in the last days of April inside the bunker was, in reality a double of Hitler. There even is a photograph of the corpse of the double taken by Russian investigators.
Hitler's death, at the end of World War II, assumed to be by his own hand, remains unproven. This assumption was the result of, what many conceive as, a conspiracy by the Western Powers, bowing to political pressures and to fight nazism, to come up with Hitler's suicide story. This then would explain Hitler's disappearance from Nazi Germany after Germany's defeat.
Even if one takes the submitted Russian report on Hitler's autopsy at face value, there still remains the fact that there was no trace of the corpse of Eva Braun, Hitler's mistress and later wife. This alone disproves the double-suicide theory now part of German history.
Based on the well-documented revelations, this book can rightfully be called "the biggest detective story of the twentieth century".
In 1952, Dwight D. Eisenhower said: "We have been unable to unearth one bit of tangible evidence of Hitler's death. Many people believe that Hitler escaped from Berlin." When President Truman asked Joseph Stalin at the Potsdam conference in 1945 whether or not Hitler was dead, Stalin replied bluntly, 'No.' Stalin's top army officer, Marshall Gregory Zhukov, whose troops were the ones to occupy Berlin, flatly stated after a long thorough investigation in 1945: "We have found no corpse that could be Hitler's." The chief of the U.S. trial counsel at Nuremberg, Thomas J. Dodd, said: "No one can say he is dead." Major General Floyd Parks, who was commanding general of the U.S. sector in Berlin, stated for publication that he had been present when Marshall Zhukov described his entrance to Berlin, and Zhukov stated he believed Hitler might have escaped. Lt. Gen. Bedell Smith, Chief of Staff to Gen. Eisenhower in the European invasion and later Director of the CIA, stated publicly on Oct. 12, 1945, "No human being can say conclusively that Hitler is dead." Col. W.J. Heimlich, former Chief, United States Intelligence, at Berlin, stated for publication that he was in charge of determining what had happened to Hitler and after a thorough investigation his report was: "There was no evidence beyond that of HEARSAY to support the THEORY of Hitler's suicide." He also stated, "On the basis of present evidence, no insurance company in America would pay a claim on Adolph Hitler." Nuremberg judge Michael Mussmanno said in his book "Ten Days to Die," "Russia must accept much of the blame [to the extent that it still exists] that Hitler did not die in May 1945." However, Mussmanno STATED that he interviewed Hitler's personal waiter, his valet, his chauffeur, his two secretaries, pilots, top generals, etc., and they all 'agreed' perfectly that Hitler committed suicide. He said they could not have gotten together afterward and made up a story that agreed in perfect detail without one flaw anywhere, so they must be telling the truth and he was absolutely convinced that Hitler committed suicide.
We are almost certain that the story we want to sell over the death of Adolf Hitler is a hoax, if so, if his death didnt happened that day to where was he supposed to escape and how?
Now focus on the facts that we consider evidence that Adolf Hitler didnt died in Berlin in 1945
-The Gestapo chief Heinrich Mueller told his US CIC interrogators in 1948, that he arranged Hitler's escape from Berlin and that Hitler together with Eva Braun flew to Barcelona, Spain on April 26th, 1945.
-Soviet Marshall J. Stalin in 1945 told many Allied Leaders that Hitler escaped from Berlin.
-There never was an identifiable corpse of Adolf Hitler nor of Eva Braun.
-The whole suicide story of Hitler rests solely on the testimony of four loyal Nazis.
-The Russians found the buried (and un-burned) corpse of the double of Adolf Hitler near the bunker
If in fact Adolf Hitler managed to escape from Berlin in 1945 a question apears, HOW? For years i read many different theories most of which do not deserve much credibility but remain a few who actually opens the door to the possibility that this issue is something real.
Theory 1 The evasion Tunnel
We will start by the theory of the escape tunnel and consequent escape by U Boat to Argentina, Antarctica or theMoon.
In fact there is a real possibility have been an escape route in the underground of Berlin, integrating Germaniaproject (Project for the World's great new capital to be raised after the final great victory of the Reich),

Hitler's Underground Lair
It search for means of escape from Berlin at the end of the war comes without doubt the mysterious flight out ofBerlin in a light aircraft of German pilot Hanna Reitsch that flew a small plane in and out of Berlin at least as late as 4/26/45 so even at the end of the Reich it was possible to escape from Berlin.
Born in Hirschberg, Silesia, (now Jelenia Góra, Poland) Hanna Reitsch became Germany's leading woman stunt pilot and later chief test pilot for the Luftwaffe. She worshipped Hitler and the Nazi ideology and became the only woman to win the Iron Cross (first and second class). Hanna Reitsch spent three days in the Bunker just before Hitler's suposed suicide on April 28, then flew out with the newly appointed Chief of the Luftwaffe, General Robert Ritter von Greim, who's orders were to mount a bombing attack on the Russian forces who were now approaching the Chancellery and the Führerbunker. Hanna Reitsch survived the war and died on August 24, 1979 in Frankfurt, from a heart attack. Von Greim was arrested and while awaiting trial committed suicide in a Salzburg hospital on the 24th of May, 1945.
Of course, this pilot would undoubtedly someone indicated to remove Hitler out of Berlin, or she or another becausethere were at least four excellent pilots in the bunker on the last days, three of them disappear forever during the fall of Berlin, is here so open the second possibility of escape ... the airway and then Uboat.
many researchers say that Hanna Reitsch took off downwind in her Fi 156 Storch, from the Tiergarten adjacent to the Führerbunker in Berlin on 28 April 1945, then flew Hitler and Eva Braun to Norway, where they joined a flotilla of submarines that sailed to Argentina or the Antartica
Others believe she took them to Jugoslavia, then under the military governorship of Sepp Dietrich head of the Waffen SS, who arranged for their secure tenure in that country, whence they left for Argentina in 1947.

So everyone on this site knows that you just can't reason with some people. Even when the evidence is in their face they will blatantly ignore it. So lets say that tomorrow Jesus comes down to earth and preforms miracles and without a doubt it's him and he says that the Catholics are right. What effect would this have on other religions ? on atheism ? You don't have to look at it like that maybe some evidence turns up and proves that no matter what anyone thinks their is no god and nothing can change it (Because sadly reason just doesn't do the trick). What effect would this have on other religions ? Would those at it's core still be committed to their cause and be ignorant as they are now even if the topic is completely un-debatable (even more so then now). Also think about the difference in location. If Jesus came down in Israel how would it be different from Sweden or USA. It's just something i came thought about while watching the episode of family guy where Jesus returns to earth and I'm hoping to get interesting replies.

The non-existence of god, or gods, can never be disproved - it just can't, so give up on that notion. To disprove it, you'd have to get the theists to state, exactly and unequivocally, how their god manifests itself so that you'd know what to look for and how to measure it, and they're in no hurry to do that.
However, there is hope. Gods like Thor simply stopped being credible, and the more science fills in the gaps in our knowledge, then the current crop of non-entities will also just stop being supportable. What they'll be replaced with is anyone's guess, but let's hope it's science and rational thinking.
It may take a while though. I'm not expecting to see it in my lifetime. There's too much vested interest to make that likely.
To me, the claim, or even proof, of divinity is not a justification for worship. Even in your hypothetical situation where it was proven beyond a doubt that Cathoicism is true, it still leaves a lot of questions. Way too many for me to just suddenly proclaim my love for God and Jesus.
Right. Just because Catholicism could be proven true, that doesn't make it right. Bottom line, what is the truth of Catholicism – Worship and love Jesus/God/Holy Spirit or burn in hell forever. So it doesn't matter if it's true or not. It still wrong to worship. So maybe there wouldn't be any atheist anymore, there would still be anti-theist. I would imagine most of the other religions would convert to Catholicism. There would be an obvious opposition community who for various reasons would come together to resist the ruling Catholic reality. And I would be a member.
True. If the Christian god is even anything remotely like in the Bible, I certainly wouldn't worship him. Acknowledge him sure, but I still have no reason to submit to his childish whims

NORTH MANCHESTER, IND. – The first of two clashes between Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference rivals Manchester University and Anderson University produced a tale of two halves Wednesday, Jan. 15.
The host Spartans continued their recent strong play of late in the first 20 minutes. MU hit 16-of-25 from the field which included going three-for-four from beyond the arc to grab a 41-25 halftime lead. However, the visiting Ravens (3-11 overall, 3-4 HCAC), also coming in with a recent hot streak on the court, answered with a 56-point second half. It was highlighted by a 19-of-30 overall and eight-of12 three-point field goal shooting display that rallied them to an 81-71 win.
"We knew Anderson had some good shooters," Coach Brad Nadborne said. "We emphasized not leaving them. Our first half effort was great holding them down to minimal numbers. In the second half, they got away from us.
"Ultimately, we need to get better defensively throughout the game," he added. "We're not where we need to be right now. We're working on it and trying to improve that area."
Junior forward Jon Thompson (Rushville, Ind.) continued his torrid offensive play. His 26-point effort, which included a masterful 11-of-11 effort from the free throw line, guided the Spartans (2-12 overall, 1-5 HCAC). He also blocked two Raven shot attempts and was one of five players with a steal. Junior guard Caleb Jackson (New Castle, Ind.) added 10 points off the bench, while fellow junior guard Grant Newlin (Muncie, Ind.) just missed a double-double with nine points and eight rebounds and also dished out a team-high five assists.
MU takes to the road for a 3 p.m. tipoff at Hanover College Saturday, Jan. 18.
NOTES: Thompson reeled off his sixth straight double-figure scoring game. He's been at-or-above 20 points in four of those contests … Sophomore forward Jarod Schrock (Logansport, Ind.) ended with two blocked shots marking his third time with multiples in a game … Newlin's assist and rebound numbers were each personal single-game season highs.

My right to bear Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles
Like many around the world, I am always astounded by the astonishing cultural paranoia that fuels Americans fetish for guns.
Can anyone take the NRA seriously by wanting to arm teachers? Their solution is MORE GUNS? If there was a walking advert for why mothers shouldn't drink during pregnancy, it's the bloody NRA.
Add fear of one another from a if-it-bleeds-it-leads crime porn mass media with the numbness and desensitization of ultra violent one person video games with an unresolved historical angst from slavery that causes a violent neurosis that demands weapons with a willfully ignorant misreading of the Constitutional rights of owning firearms with a domestic arms industry that has made about $3.5billion in annual domestic sales since the mid 1990's and you get this bizarre societal mutation for firearms that is driven by a deep seated and monetized cultural brain injury.
Americans are fucking crazy for guns. There are 311million Americans, there are 300million guns and every time there is a hint of gun regulation, the crazy bastards rush out and buy more of them.
Guns sales soar in America after every mass shooting because the vested corporate interests that see $3.5billion per year in new gun sales alone will always tweak the emotional raw nerves of Americans for maximum returns.
The profits from the domestic arm of the Military Industrial Complex have trapped America in an unending zombie nightmare they will never be allowed to wake from.
Freedom to own an assault rifle doesn't seem to be much of a freedom.
