The global warming hoax unveiled
Poor 'wooden' Al can't seem to catch a break. For eight long years they made him cover for charismatic horndog President, Slick Willie, who could make panties drop and women swoon even at a funeral.
Poor Al couldn't even keep his own wife. Then they made him run for that office, which he actually won in the popular vote in 2000 but was robbed of it by the Supreme Court. "What now?" Poor Al wondered, knowing he was still under Faustian contract to the Dark Lord and a pact with the Devil is forever.
His next assignment was even worse. They put him out front as lead spear-catcher in their latest scheme to rule the world-- "THE GLOBAL WARMING HOAX." Poor Al didn't have a choice. When the Dark Lord spoke, Al had to jump.
They thought a couple of World Wars and some fairly serious genocide would do the trick to completely subdue us back in the 20th century, but it didn't so they decided to change up their game for the 21st, and get us to voluntarily put ourselves under their yoke.
The new scheme--we'll give it code-name "Crispy Planet"--was created to manipulate world temperature data and produce the scariest ending imaginable--a world slow-roasting itself--and they would blame it all on us deplorable human cockroaches and our fossil fuels!
"It may already be too late to save yourselves," we were told by Apostle Al, "but maybe, just maybe I know a guy, who knows a guy, who can save you!"
All we had to do, we were told, was give up everything that made life comfortable or enjoyable, and hand over our God-given rights to the Dark Lord.
If we did that, these benevolent Globalist barons might save us, but we only had a few years to capitulate to their command--oh, and pay the $134 Trillion ransom under the Paris Climate deal, which was part of the scam.
Alternatively, they would let us drown in our own waste and spawn as the waters rose to engulf us, or they would let us fry to a crisp as the unyielding sun got ever hotter.
They weren't sure which, but it would be a terrible ending!
According to Washington Post journalist, Ben Bagdikian, just 15 of these Progressive billionaire wanna-be Rulers control 82% of world media and are for the most part singing in unison, whatever the topic, which I suspect is not by accident.
No matter which channel or network you turn on, they are even using the same text most days like a bunch of Mockingbirds, so it wasn't hard for this cohesive handful of Progressives to manipulate public opinion and they did a splendid job of it.
Most people in the world today now believe the Global Warming Hoax rather than what they see with their own eyes and feel on their own skin 20 years later.
A fellow Progressive of today's Globalist barons from the National Socialist German Workers Party, Joseph Goebbels, was fond of saying, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.
It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
Today's Progressives live by Goebbels' Big Lie maxim too, and the few scientists back in 2001 who stood up against this Big Lie--the Global Warming Hoax--such as Dr. Keith Briffa and Professor Phillip Jones, were quickly beaten back into submission.
Ultimately, they were forced to falsify their own data to match the Big Lie. They were threatened with excommunication from the Church of Pseudoscience and would be cast into irrelevance in Global Warming Hell if they did not do so, they were warned.
Most real scientists, however, are finally admitting that the Emperor is naked (though you don't hear much about that either), but it is true.
In fact, 31,487 real scientists--just in America--have signed a petition stating "there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane or greenhouse gases is causing, or will cause in the forseeable future, catastrophic rising in the earth's temperature."--while Al Gore and the Hole-in-the-Ozone Gang still claim "99.9% of them" are in unison that "Crispy Planet" is just a couple of Big Macs away due to farting cows and humans who like to breathe, eat, stay warm, and go places.
Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Dr. Ivar Gaiera, recently added his name and support to the Global Warming Petition, calling out the Globalist hoax to a completely deaf media--though it is one of the biggest pieces of news so far this century.
He revealed the truth about how the hoax came about back in 2001 saying that there were only 18 so-called 'scientists' who worked on this unsubstantiated allegation of human attribution in the first working group of the IPCC (Intergovernment Panel on Climate Change) report (#AR5) back in 2001.
Dr. Gaiera also revealed not only their names (listed below), but that at least three of them were just students, not scientists. I've yet to see Poor Al Gore's scientific credentials and we now know that the man behind his 'evidence' lied about his credentials.
So, let's take a look at the chart that Apostle Al and a man falsely claiming to be a "Nobel Prize winner", Michael E. Mann, used to fool the world--now famously known as "the hockey stick graph"--ostensibly showing our planet speeding to its end, 20 years ago. This chart was achieved by manipulating the data, and completely leaving out numbers that did not match their thesis, including the entire Medieval Warming Period between 950 and 1250 A.D. —during which wine grapes were being grown in Northern England—and the hottest years in recorded history such as 1910 and 1944. In short, it was a calculated fraud.
Instead of "Crispy Planet", however, data since 2000 shows that there has been no warming in 15 of those years and that the average temperature of the earth's surface has cooled by 1.4 degrees in just the past three.
The Southern Ice Cap is larger than ever, and 90% of the world's islands and atolls are larger than a decade ago, ending the claim that ocean are rising.
Some scientists are now warning of a Mini Ice Age, while Globalists still cling to the hoax in hopes of fear-mongering their way into a modern feudalism with just two classes as there were throughout most of human history--Ruling Elites and peasants--with no one in the middle (except maybe their media and political servants).
So where do we go from here?
That's the $134 Trillion question, isn't it? The hoax may have been a good thing in the long-run, as badly as I hate to admit it, as it has made all of us more aware of the consequences of our actions.
Also, I'm still very worried about real environmental problems like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch of floating plastic covering 1.6 million square kilometres in the Pacific Ocean, and the dangerous decline in bee populations.
These are actual problems in need of real solutions, but we can quit being audacious enough to think that we can destroy Mother Earth so easily with normal human behaviours.
Actual numbers show that we cannot, though we should treat our home with far more respect, and that will be my own takeaway from what has now been dubbed "Climategate."
We can also stop worrying about overpopulating the planet, as absent parts of India and Africa, populations are actually declining or in free fall.
Once these regions and societies advance even slightly--especially if the safety valve of flooding other continents with their unwanted is brought to a halt--they will quickly realize what every other maturing society has learned and be no different.
Ancient towns in Europe, such as Sambucca, Sicily built by the Greeks and voted 'most beautiful' in Italy are selling empty homes and villas for as little as 1 Euro, just to get people to come there.
Entire villages in France and Spain are uninhabited already, and the same will eventually happen throughout the world, especially if the Dark Lord loses to the Light and people outside these zones of over-breeding remain free.
The best way to save our planet is also the simplest. Adam Smith gave us a formula for the success of any nation, "Peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice."
Simple, right? But few nations have ever been true to these principles of success for long. Economic freedom, limited government, no more laws than absolutely necessary and any place on earth will thrive and stay beyond the clutches of the Dark Lord's desire to rule us.
We will escape their latest attempt at world rule as well--and I give the new President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, much of the credit for that when he cancelled his nation's participation in the Paris Climate Accord, putting the world on notice that he wasn't buying their story--and he's now been proven right. The biggest hoax in human history has been unveiled for what it was.
NOTE: These are the 18 'scientist/students' according to Nobel Prize winner and physicist, Dr. Ivar Gaiever, who started the Global Warming Hoax back in 2001. Make sure you don't hire them to work in your Donut Shoppe or for anything that requires math or integrity:

The Second Temple (, , ), later known as Herod's Temple, was the reconstructed Temple in Jerusalem between  and 70 CE. It replaced Solomon's Temple, which is presumed to have been built at the same location before its destruction by the Neo-Babylonian Empire during the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem in . Construction on the Second Temple began some time after the Neo-Babylonian Empire was conquered by the Achaemenid Persian Empire; it followed a proclamation by Persian king Cyrus the Great (see Edict of Cyrus) that ended the Babylonian captivity and initiated the return to Zion. In Jewish history, the Second Temple's completion in Persian Judah marks the beginning of the Second Temple period.

According to the Bible, the Second Temple was originally a relatively modest structure built by Jews who had returned from exile in Babylon under the authority of Persian-appointed governor Zerubbabel, the grandson of penultimate Judahite king Jeconiah. However, during the reign of Herod the Great over the Herodian Kingdom of Judea, it was completely refurbished; the original structure was overhauled into the large edifices and façades that are more recognized in modern recreated models.

After standing for approximately 586 years, the Second Temple was destroyed by the Roman Empire during the Roman siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE.

Biblical narrative

The accession of Cyrus the Great of the Achaemenid Empire in 559 BCE made the re-establishment of the city of Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the Temple possible. Some rudimentary ritual sacrifice had continued at the site of the first temple following its destruction. According to the closing verses of the second book of Chronicles and the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, when the Jewish exiles returned to Jerusalem following a decree from Cyrus the Great (Ezra 1:1–4, 2 Chronicles 36:22-23), construction started at the original site of the altar of Solomon's Temple. These events represent the final section in the historical narrative of the Hebrew Bible.

The original core of the book of Nehemiah, the first-person memoir, may have been combined with the core of the Book of Ezra around 400 BCE. Further editing probably continued into the Hellenistic era.

Based on the biblical account, after the return from Babylonian captivity, arrangements were immediately made to reorganize the desolated Yehud Province after the demise of the Kingdom of Judah seventy years earlier. The body of pilgrims, forming a band of 42,360, having completed the long and dreary journey of some four months, from the banks of the Euphrates to Jerusalem, were animated in all their proceedings by a strong religious impulse, and therefore one of their first concerns was to restore their ancient house of worship by rebuilding their destroyed Temple.

On the invitation of Zerubbabel, the governor, who showed them a remarkable example of liberality by contributing personally 1,000 golden darics, besides other gifts, the people poured their gifts into the sacred treasury with great enthusiasm. First they erected and dedicated the altar of God on the exact spot where it had formerly stood, and they then cleared away the charred heaps of debris that occupied the site of the old temple; and in the second month of the second year (535 BCE), amid great public excitement and rejoicing, the foundations of the Second Temple were laid. A wide interest was felt in this great movement, although it was regarded with mixed feelings by the spectators.

The Samaritans wanted to help with this work but Zerubbabel and the elders declined such cooperation, feeling that the Jews must build the Temple unaided. Immediately evil reports were spread regarding the Jews. According to Ezra 4:5, the Samaritans sought to "frustrate their purpose" and sent messengers to Ecbatana and Susa, with the result that the work was suspended.

Seven years later, Cyrus the Great, who allowed the Jews to return to their homeland and rebuild the Temple, died, and was succeeded by his son Cambyses. On his death, the "false Smerdis", an impostor, occupied the throne for some seven or eight months, and then Darius became king (522 BCE). In the second year of his rule the work of rebuilding the temple was resumed and carried forward to its completion, under the stimulus of the earnest counsels and admonitions of the prophets Haggai and Zechariah. It was ready for consecration in the spring of 516 BCE, more than twenty years after the return from captivity. The Temple was completed on the third day of the month Adar, in the sixth year of the reign of Darius, amid great rejoicings on the part of all the people, although it was evident that the Jews were no longer an independent people, but were subject to a foreign power. The Book of Haggai includes a prediction that the glory of the Second Temple would be greater than that of the first.  While the Temple may well have been consecrated in 516, construction and expansion may have continued as late as 500 BCE.

Some of the original artifacts from the Temple of Solomon are not mentioned in the sources after its destruction in 586 BCE, and are presumed lost. The Second Temple lacked the following holy articles:
 The Ark of the Covenant containing the Tablets of Stone, before which were placed the pot of manna and Aaron's rod
 The Urim and Thummim (divination objects contained in the )
 The holy oil
 The sacred fire

In the Second Temple, the Holy of Holies () was separated by curtains rather than a wall as in the First Temple. Still, as in the Tabernacle, the Second Temple included:
 The Menorah (golden lamp) for the
 The Table of Showbread
 The golden altar of incense, with golden censers

According to the Mishnah, the "Foundation Stone" stood where the Ark used to be, and the High Priest put his censer on it on Yom Kippur.

The Second Temple also included many of the original vessels of gold that had been taken by the Babylonians but restored by Cyrus the Great. According to the Babylonian Talmud however, the Temple lacked the  (the dwelling or settling divine presence of God) and the  (holy spirit) present in the First Temple.

Rabbinical literature

Traditional rabbinic literature states that the Second Temple stood for 420 years, and, based on the 2nd-century work , placed construction in 356 BCE (3824 AM), 164 years later than academic estimates, and destruction in 68 CE (3828 AM).

The fifth order, or division, of the Mishnah, known as Kodashim, provides detailed descriptions and discussions of the religious laws connected with Temple service including the sacrifices, the Temple and its furnishings, as well as the priests who carried out the duties and ceremonies of its service. Tractates of the order deal with the sacrifices of animals, birds, and meal offerings, the laws of bringing a sacrifice, such as the sin offering and the guilt offering, and the laws of misappropriation of sacred property. In addition, the order contains a description of the Second Temple (tractate Middot), and a description and rules about the daily sacrifice service in the Temple (tractate Tamid).

Rededication by the Maccabees
Following the conquest of Judea by Alexander the Great, it became part of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt until 200 BCE, when the Seleucid king Antiochus III the Great of Syria defeated Pharaoh Ptolemy V Epiphanes at the Battle of Paneion.

In 167 BCE, Antiochus IV Epiphanes ordered an altar to Zeus erected in the Temple. He also, according to Josephus, "compelled Jews to dissolve the laws of the country, to keep their infants un-circumcised, and to sacrifice swine's flesh upon the altar; against which they all opposed themselves, and the most approved among them were put to death." Following the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid empire, the Second Temple was rededicated and became the religious pillar of the Jewish Hasmonean Kingdom, as well as culturally associated with the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.

Hasmonean dynasty and Roman conquest
There is some evidence from archaeology that further changes to the structure of the Temple and its surroundings were made during the Hasmonean rule. Salome Alexandra, the queen of the Hasmonean Kingdom appointed her elder son Hyrcanus II as the high priest of Judaea. Her younger son Aristobulus II was determined to have the throne, and as soon as she died he seized the throne. Hyrcanus, who was next in the succession, agreed to be content with being high priest. Antipater, the governor of Idumæa, encouraged Hyrcanus not to give up his throne. Eventually, Hyrcanus fled to Aretas III, king of the Nabateans, and returned with an army to take back the throne. He defeated Aristobulus and besieged Jerusalem. The Roman general Pompey, who was in Syria fighting against the Armenians in the Third Mithridatic War, sent his lieutenant to investigate the conflict in Judaea. Both Hyrcanus and Aristobulus appealed to him for support. Pompey was not diligent in making a decision about this, which caused Aristobulus to march off. He was pursued by Pompey and surrendered but his followers closed Jerusalem to Pompey's forces. The Romans besieged and took the city in 63 BCE. The priests continued with the religious practices inside the Temple during the siege. The temple was not looted or harmed by the Romans. Pompey himself, perhaps inadvertently, went into the Holy of Holies and the next day ordered the priests to repurify the Temple and resume the religious practices.

Herod's Temple

Temenos expansion, date and duration
Reconstruction of the temple under Herod began with a massive expansion of the Temple Mount temenos. For example, the Temple Mount complex initially measured  in size, but Herod expanded it to  and so doubled its area. Herod's work on the Temple is generally dated from 20/19 BCE until 12/11 or 10 BCE. Writer Bieke Mahieu dates the work on the Temple enclosures from 25 BCE and that on the Temple building in 19 BCE, and situates the dedication of both in November 18 BCE.

Religious worship and temple rituals continued during the construction process. An agreement was made between Herod and the Jewish religious authorities: the sacrificial rituals, called  (offerings), were to be continued unabated for the entire time of construction, and the Temple itself would be constructed by the priests. This is the reason Herod's Temple is still counted as the Second — functioning did not stop, although it was the third building fulfilling the purpose.

Extent and financing
The old temple built by Zerubbabel was replaced by a magnificent edifice. Herod's Temple was one of the larger construction projects of the 1st century BCE. Josephus records that Herod was interested in perpetuating his name through building projects, that his construction programs were extensive and paid for by heavy taxes, but that his masterpiece was the Temple of Jerusalem.

Later, the sanctuary shekel was reinstituted to support the temple as the temple tax.

Elements

Platform, substructures, retaining walls
Mt. Moriah had a plateau at the northern end, and steeply declined on the southern slope. It was Herod's plan that the entire mountain be turned into a giant square platform. The Temple Mount was originally intended to be  wide by  broad by 9 stories high, with walls up to  thick, but had never been finished. To complete it, a trench was dug around the mountain, and huge stone "bricks" were laid. Some of these weighed well over 100 tons, the largest measuring  and weighing approximately 567-628 tons.

King Herod had architects from Greece, Rome and Egypt plan the construction. The blocks were presumably quarried by using pickaxes to create channels. Then they hammered in wooden beams and flushed them with water to force them out. Once they were removed, they were carved into precise squares and numbered at the quarry to show where they would be installed. The final carving would have been done by using harder stones to grind or chisel them to create precise joints. They would have been transported using oxen and specialized carts. Since the quarry was uphill from the temple they had gravity on their side but care needed to be taken to control the descent. Final installation would have been done using pulleys or cranes. Roman pulleys and cranes were not strong enough to lift the blocks alone so they may have used multiple cranes and levers to position them.

The project began with the building of giant underground vaults upon which the temple would be built so it could be larger than the small flat area on top of Mount Moriah. Ground level at the time was at least  below the current level, as can be seen by walking the Western Wall tunnels. Legend has it that the construction of the entire complex lasted only three years, but written sources such as Josephus say that it took far longer, although the Temple itself may only have taken that long. During a Passover visit by Jesus, he was told that it had been under construction for 46 years.

Court of the Gentiles
The Court of the Gentiles was primarily a bazaar, with vendors selling souvenirs, sacrificial animals, food. Currency was also exchanged, with Roman currency exchanged for Tyrian money, as also mentioned in the New Testament account of Jesus and the Money Changers, when Jerusalem was packed with Jewish pilgrims who had come for Passover, perhaps numbering 300,000 to 400,000.

Above the Huldah Gates, on top the Temple walls, was the Royal Stoa, a large basilica praised by Josephus as "more worthy of mention than any other [structure] under the sun"; its main part was a lengthy Hall of Columns which includes 162 columns, structured in four rows.

The Royal Stoa is widely accepted to be part of Herod's work; however, recent archaeological finds in the Western Wall tunnels suggest that it was built in the first century during the reign of Agripas, as opposed to the 1st century BCE.

Pinnacle
The accounts of the temptation of Christ in the gospels of Matthew and Luke both suggest that the Second Temple had one or more 'pinnacles':

The Greek word used is  (), which literally means a tower, rampart, or pinnacle. According to Strong's Concordance, it can mean little wing, or by extension anything like a wing such as a battlement or parapet. The archaeologist Benjamin Mazar thought it referred to the southeast corner of the Temple overlooking the Kidron Valley.

Inner courts
According to Josephus, there were ten entrances into the inner courts, four on the south, four on the north, one on the east and one leading east to west from the Court of Women to the court of the Israelites, named the Nicanor Gate. According to Josephus, Herod the Great erected a golden eagle over the great gate of the Temple.

Pilgrimages

Jews from distant parts of the Roman Empire would arrive by boat at the port of Jaffa, where they would join a caravan for the three-day trek to the Holy City and would then find lodgings in one of the many hotels or hostelries. Then they changed some of their money from the profane standard Greek and Roman currency for Jewish and Tyrian money, the latter two considered religious.

Destruction

In 66 CE the Jewish population rebelled against the Roman Empire. Four years later, on 4 August 70 CE (the 9th day of Av and possibly the day on which Tisha B'Av was observed) or 30 August 70 CE, Roman legions under Titus retook and destroyed much of Jerusalem and the Second Temple. The Arch of Titus, which was built in Rome to commemorate Titus's victory in Judea, depicts a Roman victory procession with soldiers carrying spoils from the Temple, including the Menorah. According to an inscription on the Colosseum, Emperor Vespasian built the Colosseum with war spoils in 79 CE – possibly from the spoils of the Second Temple.

The sects of Judaism that had their base in the Temple dwindled in importance, including the priesthood and the Sadducees.

The Temple was on the site of what today is the Dome of the Rock. The gates led out close to Al-Aqsa Mosque (which came much later). Although Jews continued to inhabit the destroyed city, Emperor Hadrian established a new city called Aelia Capitolina. At the end of the Bar Kokhba revolt in 135 CE, many of the Jewish communities were massacred and Jews were banned from living inside Jerusalem. A pagan Roman temple was set up on the former site of Herod's Temple.

Historical accounts relate that not only the Jewish Temple was destroyed, but also the entire Lower city of Jerusalem. Even so, according to Josephus, Titus did not totally raze the towers (such as the Tower of Phasael, now erroneously called the Tower of David), keeping them as a memorial of the city's strength. The Midrash Rabba (Eikha Rabba 1:32) recounts a similar episode related to the destruction of the city, according to which Rabban Yohanan ben Zakkai, during the Roman siege of Jerusalem, requested of Vespasian that he spare the westernmost gates of the city () that lead to Lydda (Lod). When the city was eventually taken, the Arab auxiliaries who had fought alongside the Romans under their general, Fanjar, also spared that westernmost wall from destruction.

Jewish eschatology includes a belief that the Second Temple will be replaced by a future Third Temple in Jerusalem; Eastern Orthodox Christians contend that the Third Temple already exists in every consecrated and canonical church through the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

Archaeology

Temple warning inscriptions
In 1871, a hewn stone measuring  and engraved with Greek uncials was discovered near a court on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and identified by Charles Simon Clermont-Ganneau as being the Temple Warning inscription. The stone inscription outlined the prohibition extended unto those who were not of the Jewish nation to proceed beyond the  separating the larger Court of the Gentiles and the inner courts. The inscription read in seven lines:

Today, the stone is preserved in
Istanbul's Museum of Antiquities.

In 1935 a fragment of another similar Temple warning inscription was found.

Place of trumpeting
Another ancient inscription, partially preserved on a stone discovered below the southwest corner of the Herodian Mount, contains the words "to the place of trumpeting...". The stone's shape suggests that it was part of a parapet, and it has been interpreted as belonging to a spot on the Mount described by Josephus, "where one of the priests to stand and to give notice, by sound of trumpet, in the afternoon of the approach, and on the following evening of the close, of every seventh day..." closely resembling what the Talmud says.

Walls and gates of the Temple complex
After 1967, archaeologists found that the wall extended all the way around the Temple Mount and is part of the city wall near the Lions' Gate. Thus, the Western Wall is not the only remaining part of the Temple Mount. Currently, Robinson's Arch (named after American Edward Robinson) remains as the beginning of an arch that spanned the gap between the top of the platform and the higher ground farther away. Visitors and pilgrims also entered through the still-extant, but now plugged, gates on the southern side that led through colonnades to the top of the platform. The Southern wall was designed as a grand entrance. Recent archaeological digs have found numerous  (ritual baths) for the ritual purification of the worshipers, and a grand stairway leading to one of the now blocked entrances.

Underground structures
Inside the walls, the platform was supported by a series of vaulted archways, now called Solomon's Stables, which still exist. Their current renovation by the  is extremely controversial.

Quarry
On September 25, 2007, Yuval Baruch, archaeologist with the Israeli Antiquities Authority announced the discovery of a quarry compound that may have provided King Herod with the stones to build his Temple on the Temple Mount. Coins, pottery and an iron stake found proved the date of the quarrying to be about 19 BCE. Archaeologist Ehud Netzer confirmed that the large outlines of the stone cuts is evidence that it was a massive public project worked by hundreds of slaves.

Floor tiling from courts
More recent findings from the Temple Mount Sifting Project include floor tiling from the Second Temple period.

Magdala stone interpretation
The Magdala stone is thought to be a representation of the Second Temple carved before its destruction in the year 70.

Second Temple Judaism

The period between the construction of the Second Temple in 515 BCE and its destruction by the Romans in 70 CE witnessed major historical upheavals and significant religious changes that would affect most subsequent Abrahamic religions. The origins of the authority of scripture, of the centrality of law and morality in religion, of the synagogue and of apocalyptic expectations for the future all developed in the Judaism of this period.

Yup, you read that right. The beloved Gilmore Girls star Lauren Graham is thisclose to joining the cast of the next installment in the Scream saga, according to a source close to the production. The actress better known to millions of rabid TV fans as Lorelai is the latest high-profile name attached to the self-referential slasher franchise. The series' original writer and director, Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven, are on board, as are the original trilogy's stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette. Graham would join Scream newcomers Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Rory Culkin, Lake Bell, Nico Tortorella, Anthony Anderson, and Marielle Jaffe. The film will start shooting in Ann Arbor, Mich., at the end of this month and is scheduled to hit theaters on April 15, 2011.
With all of that obligatory casting news and speculation out of the way, let's take a step back and put this question to all you Gilmore Girls fans: Would you be more excited about Lorelai on the big screen or bummed that she might end up as part of the film's bloody bodycount?


We all have our desires in life. We have a preferred way we would like to be treated by others. Many times people fall short of those expectations leaving us discouraged and/or wanting more. Your actions inspire how other people treat you. If you want to receive love, give love. If you want more friends, show yourself friendly. People won't magically meet your needs (and no single person will be all that you want), but you can reap a harvest of what you want by sowing those actions into other people.
It's hard to give when you feel your tank is empty. It's even harder to give the things you want to receive when you feel you gave them already and they weren't returned.
What you do inspires other people's actions. Be the person you want other people to be to you, regardless of how you feel. Why? Because at the end of the day you will be remembered for the good that you spread and how you made people feel. You may not always be in the best of spirits, but I'm sure you'll find joy in lifting the spirits of others.
So if you're in a relationship and caught in constant arguments, just treat the other person how you want to be treated. If you're working and having problems with your boss, continue to treat your boss how you expect them to treat you. Don't alter your mood based on their actions, but have them alter their actions based off of yours. You can change the course of things by putting out what you expect to receive… whether you receive it or not.


Kristina Elyse Butke: Keeping busy. Here's an update!
Well, first things first: I had to withdraw my panels for Ohayocon. I'm pretty bummed about this, but at the same time, I'm somewhat relieved. Let me explain: I had a negative experience at the doctor's office early this morning, and after much discussion we pretty much determined that I need to pull back from several things and take care of myself...which hasn't happened for a few months.
Once school started up for me in August, I stopped paying attention to myself as well as my health, because I've been so busy with everything (and majorly stressed out). So it was decided I withdraw from a few things.
I hadn't heard anything from programming on my panels yet (neither rejection or denials), so I didn't think my request to pull my panels from the submission process would be too inconvenient, but who knows, honestly. Ohayocon programming had over 400 panels submitted, and if they were on the verge of notifying me of an acceptance, I'll feel kind of bad. But the relief comes from not having to worry about the panels anymore...or spending the large amount of money needed to create a lot of the things I would need in order to present them (which required a lot of audience participation and activities). It looked like there was a genuine interest in the panels (based on the forums), so I feel a little guilty for dropping out, but I have to pull back and take care of myself more. Unfortunately I prepaid for everything for the convention, and it's non-refundable...so I'll probably still try to go, if I'm able to. That would be a lot of money spent for nothing, yikes.
I got some lovely things for Christmas, and I already started preparing for the new semester by ordering the books I'll need for my Readings in the Genre classes. As for the progress on the novel, I've surpassed 80,000 words a while ago, but I have a bit of a block right now. I wrote eight pages the other day, except it was rewrites of the first chapter. Nothing new seems to have come into my brain, and that isn't good. My personal goal was to finish the book by January 18th, but once again, I don't think I can make my deadline. So...this semester will be really crazy.
I hope you guys had a good holiday! For the time being, I'm trying to update this website (my sub-pages haven't been touched in forever) and clear out my inboxes. Then it's back to the drawing-board with my book.
Life is so ridiculously short...do whatever you need to do to make it good for you. I'll be thinking of you!

Carina Round est une auteure-compositrice-interprète britannique originaire de Wolverhampton situé dans les Midlands de l'Ouest de l'Angleterre.

Jeunesse
Carina Round est née en 1979 en Italie et a découvert la musique à travers le tourne-disque qui lui fut offert à son cinquième anniversaire. Elle fut élève en primaire à l'école catholique Saint Mary ainsi qu'au lycée Heath Park.

Carrière
À l'été 1996, à la suite d'un concert dans un club acoustique au sous-sol de Wolverhampton, Round a reçu un soutien de trois nuits au club de Ronnie Scott à Birmingham. Cela a conduit à soutenir des machines à sous avec des artistes comme David Gray, Miles Hunt, Ben Christophers, Mark Eitzel,  Cousteau, Elbow, I Am Kloot, Turin Brakes, Ed Harcourt et Ryan Adams, qui après l'avoir soutenu dans Birmingham, l'a invitée à être son invitée à ses spectacles à Londres. Lors de ces spectacles, ils ont de nouveau interprété leur chanson co-écrite "Idiots Dance" et "Come Pick Me Up" en rappel. Les mois suivants ont vu Round rejoint par Simon Jason Smith à la contrebasse, Marcus Galley à la batterie et le guitariste Tom Livemore. Leur premier concert ensemble était un soutien spécial pour Coldplay au Birmingham Songwriters Festival.

Ce groupe a enregistré son premier album The First Blood Mystery aux Magic Garden Studios avec son ami et producteur Gavin Monaghan. L'album a été enregistré et mixé en dix jours, et sorti au Royaume-Uni via Animal Noise en 2001. Round a ensuite fait une tournée au Royaume-Uni avec Glenn Tilbrook.

Elle revient en 2003 avec The Disconnection, à nouveau enregistré aux Magic Garden Studios avec Gavin Monaghan. L'album est sorti au Royaume-Uni avec une pochette d'Anoushka Fisz (épouse de Dave Stewart de Eurythmics qui l'a soutenue depuis), puis sorti en 2004 avec un autre, moins visuellement photo de couverture inquiétante, sur Interscope aux États-Unis. L'album a été comparé à Björk, Jeff Buckley et Robert Plant. Round a promu The Disconnection avec une tournée au Royaume-Uni à la fin de 2003, et une autre tournée en janvier 2004. Cela a été suivi d'une tournée d'un mois aux États-Unis avant de retourner au Royaume-Uni pour une autre tournée avec Damien Dempsey et James Blunt.

Round a déménagé à Los Angeles en 2005 pour produire Slow Motion Addict avec Glen Ballard, qui présentait un son plus accessible et agrémenté d'électronique. La sortie de l'album a été retardée d'une année complète, mais a finalement été publiée aux États-Unis en 2007.

Cette même année, elle est apparue sur "Cruel Melody", la chanson titre de Cruel Melody de Black Light Burns, un groupe dirigé par le guitariste de Limp Bizkit Wes Borland . Toujours en 2007, Round a été choisie comme première partie  d'Annie Lennox pour sa tournée américaine, qui a été suivie de dates au Royaume-Uni plus tard cette année-là et au début de 2008.

Le 12 mai 2009, Carine a sorti un EP de cinq titres intitulé Things You Should Know. Le EP est disponible en version numérique générale, avec des copies physiques disponibles uniquement lors de ses spectacles. Les précommandes du EP numérique étaient accompagnées de deux titres supplémentaires - des versions acoustiques de "Do You" et "For Everything a Reason". Une vidéo et un remix sont disponibles pour le premier titre du EP, "Backseat".

À l'automne 2009, elle est devenue un membre en tournée de Puscifer, Maynard James Keenan's Arizona projet basé sur Arizona, travaillant sur leur album Conditions of My Parole et a commencé en première partie de la tournée.

Pendant ce temps, Carine a également chanté sur l'album  Dynamite Steps  des Twilight Singers . Elle a également travaillé à nouveau avec Ballard et le compositeur nominé aux Oscars John Debney sur une chanson composée pour le film Valentine's Day. Elle a écrit avec le nominé aux Oscars Marco Beltrami, et a terminé un album avec son projet parallèle alt-country Early Winters, qui a été auto-publié plus tôt dans l'année.

Ses chansons For Everything A Reason et Do You sont présentées dans la série FX American Horror Story.

En octobre 2011, il a été annoncé que Carina serait à nouveau en tournée avec Puscifer. Elle a ouvert pour Puscifer lors du spectacle d'ouverture Seattle, Washington de la tournée nord-américaine Conditions of My Parole le 7 novembre 2011. Cela s'ajoutait à la performance en tant que membre de Puscifer.

Carina Round a sorti  Tigermending , un album de 11 titres produit par Round et Dan Burns le 1er mai 2012 via Dehisce Records et distribué via The Orchard. Les collaborateurs incluent Dave Stewart et Brian Eno ("The Secret of Drowning") et Billy Corgan ("Got to Go (2000 Years BC Mix").

Elle apparaît également en tant que chanteuse invitée sur Valleyheart, l'album de 2013 de l'auteur-compositeur-interprète canadien Justin Rutledge, qui est l'un des compagnons de groupe de Round dans Early Winters. Elle a également contribué au chant de la chanson "Turn Around" de son album "Early Widows".

En avril 2013, elle s'est produite avec Puscifer à Coachella et Lollapalooza au Chili et au Brésil.

En février 2014, elle apparaît en tant que chanteuse invitée sur le morceau "I Feel" de l'album "Good Soldier" de Sierra Swan, produit par Billy Corgan. Elle est également apparue comme chanteuse sur les morceaux "In My Room" et "The Truth Is..." de l'album "Girl Who Cried Wolf" de Sierra Swan et a collaboré avec Sierra Swan en plus de Joel Shearer, Blair Sinta et Curt Schneider sur un projet appelé "Pushka", contribuant au chant.

en 2014, elle a collaboré avec Aiden Hawken sur la chanson "Come Undone" de l'album Making Patterns Rhyme: A Tribute to Duran Duran.

Elle a fourni des voix d'invité sur "Tower" sur l'album "All This Time" de The Beta Machine.

En 2016 et 2019, elle a tourné avec Tears for Fears, aux chœurs et au chant sur "Woman in Chains". Elle a également interprété des chœurs sur quatre chansons du dernier album de Tears For Fears, The Tipping Point, sorti en 2022.

It includes a complete cutting assembly and a lid that fits snugly with the container to prevent leaks during operation. The patented Talon asymmetrical blade operates at 4 different angles, creating a vortex that smoothly blends whole fruits and vegetables, which saves prep time.
As a thermal control unit, this 56 oz. blender jar keeps products cold to enhance customer experience.

The lid also features a removable center that allows you to add ingredients without removing the entire lid. In addition, the lid has an embedded measuring cup so you can add pre-portioned ingredients during use.


THE inclusion this year of air racing champion Matt Hall and other new features means the Old Station Flying Club's fly-in and show is not to be missed.

A WEEKEND of amazing spectacle and machinery is coming up as The Old Station Flying Club hosts its popular fly-in and heritage show.
THIS 'N' THAT: We've heard a lot about fishing this weekend, but there are some fish so amazing they deserve to be left in the ocean.
WORK has finally started at the vacant site next to Agnes Water Shopping Centre after more than 12 years, and locals are excited.
OPINION: Anyone who thinks it's okay to stand on an embankment and throw rocks down at passing vehicles is an idiot.
THIS 'N' THAT: My cousin's 72nd birthday on Anzac Day was a significant event, given his father was killed in war just after he was born.
THIS 'N' THAT: I really enjoy a bit of convenience, especially when shopping, and the faster the better.
OPINION: Gladstone's harbour festival would be nothing were it not for the host of volunteers who keep the show running.
THIS 'N' THAT: The harbour festival is one of the great highlights of living in Gladstone, and this year will be no different.

"We are holding this session in the open Chamber today after a series of reported chemical attacks in Eastern Ghouta within the last month, as the Assad regime continues its merciless bombing and killing of civilians. Over the weekend, there was a further allegation of use of chemical weapons in Idlib, as well as airstrikes by pro-regime forces which reportedly hit three hospitals, leaving doctors scrambling to remove premature babies from their incubators to move them. I cannot say move them to safety because the reality is that, for the citizens of Idlib and Eastern Ghouta, nowhere is safe. Mr President, we are appalled by this violence and the reported deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure and call upon all parties to the conflict to uphold International Humanitarian Law and protect civilians…. i.e. let's invade and kill at will."

A merger!
'There is at present, a political appetite for progress in European defense. If that is to be capitalised on, post-Brexit, proposals for an independent, permanent operational planning HQ seem inevitable; while proposals have already been put forward by the EU High Representative to create a longer term finance mechanism for CSDP operations. The extension of PESCO into full spectrum capabilities, should it prove successful, is also likely to be on the cards.
And yet, windows of opportunity such as this often prove to be short-lived. National interests must remain in sync amid broader global challenges, and the EU at 27 must all have a unified view on what they want CSDP to be, and to achieve. Without the UK Brexit undoubtedly offers opportunities, but equally national interests will dictate progress and further integration in EU defence matters is not without other sceptical EU Member States. It has taken decades of negotiation to get CSDP this far, achieving a common European Defence Union is, arguably, likely to take decades more with or without the involvement of the UK.'

Audi debuts e-tron GT: 293 mile range, 155 MPH top speed, 590 HP, $99,900 starting price
German automaker Audi has unveiled its newest all-electric vehicle: the e-Tron GT. The e-tron offers between 269 and 293 miles of WLTP-estimated range with several different variants, a top speed of 155 MPH, and a 3.3 second 0-62 MPH time. The new e-tron will start at $99,000.
Audi unveiled the e-tron during a live event on February 9th, detailing the exterior and interior design, as well as the vehicle's specifications and performance figures. The e-tron GT aims to bring world-class performance to an all-electric platform as Audi begins to transition to a more broad offering of EVs for the future, with plans to offer more than 30 cars by 2025. Audi says 20 of these cars will be fully-electric.
A new era of thrill is about to begin.
Like this tweet to be among the first to see the all-new, all-electric #etronGT, launching February 9th at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT.
— Audi USA (@Audi) February 8, 2021
Audi e-tron GT: the embodiment of Audi
The introduction of the e-tron GT "perfectly embodies Audi's innovative and pioneering spirit," Hildegard Wortman, Member of the Board of Management of Audi AG for Sales and Marketing, said. The e-tron will offer four-wheel steering, along with torque vectoring for improved handling.
With range offerings between 269 and 293 miles (433 and 472 kilometers), the e-tron will offer plenty of driving range for travelers far and wide. Additionally, Audi stated that the vehicle's 95 kWh battery pack would have the ability to charge from 0 to 80% in less than 23 minutes when plugged into a 700kW station. Audi focused heavily on aerodynamics to complement the range ratings, and stated the vehicle has a .24 drag coefficient.
Audi e-tron RS GT: the most powerful Audi ever
Audi's premier, top of the line GT variant will be the RS. Its 0-60 MPH in 3.1 seconds is lightning fast and will compete with some of the quickest electric cars in the world. Additionally, a top speed of 155 MPH gives it a face-melting maximum rate of travel, although it will rarely be reached by the traditional driver.
Niko Rosberg, a former Formula One World Champion noted that the RS GT's performance was one of a kind. The four-wheel steering system combined with the performance specifications offered one of the most unique driving experiences from a production car he's ever experienced. Rosberg spoke highly of the GT's performance variant, adding that it was unbelievable to drive an all-electric powertrain with the power, acceleration, and speed that was reminiscent of his F1 days.
Sustainable interior materials for unmatched environmental consciousness
One of the main focuses of Audi moving forward is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions during the vehicle's life cycle. This begins with the manufacturing process, which Audi detailed in its goals to be CO2 neutral by 2025. The e-tron GT's manufacturing facility is fully-powered by renewable energy, making the production process Earth-friendly.
Additionally, Audi looked to use sustainable materials within its interior. One focus was to eliminate waste within the vehicle by using sustainably-sourced materials that could be recycled when the car reaches the end of its cycle. The seats within the e-tron GT use around 99% of zero-waste materials, making it one of the most sustainable interiors in the automotive market.
The 2022 Audi e-tron GT starts at $99,900 plus destination fees, which haven't been defined by the automaker yet. The RS e-tron GT will be $139,900, Autoblog says. The car is expected to begin sales later this summer.
Audi's full unveiling of the e-tron GT is available below.

A ChucksConnection Film Review
Katherine Langford wears black high top Converse "Chuck Taylor" All Stars in the film.
by Hal Peterson
Mara is excited about her budding romance with Dylan.
Mara (Katherine Langford) is looking forward to her final semester of high school, along with her best friend Tess (Hayley Law), expecting it to be filled with fun times and experiences on the way to graduation in June. But her idyllic outlook on life is shattered when one day in class, a fellow student literally explodes, leaving her and her classmates covered in blood and gore. The filmmakers are careful that viewers don't actually see the person exploding, but rather the immediate aftermath of splatter and shocked reactions. Thus starts the somewhat unusual story line of Spontaneous, which is really a cleverly plotted coming of age film. Clearly such a strange development will change one's outlook of life, and we see the first effect of this soon after, when Mara and Tess are seated at a restaurant and approached by Dylan (Charlie Plummer) who tells Mara that he had been eying her for several years now. Dylan explains that the recent event at school made him realize that he should act on his impulses, something that nonpluses Mara but at the same time flatters her that someone mostly unknown to her has a romantic interest in her.
Dylan and Mara are rounded up by a government haz-mat team.
The two start to connect and Mara discovers that Dylan has a witty and self-deprecating manner that she finds enjoyable and intellectually stimulating. Dylan's enthusiasm and genuine interest soon breaks through Mara's cynicism about high school boys, and the two start having a serious relationship. For Mara this couldn't occur at a better time, as the explosions continue to plague the senior class. Dylan's steady hand and light manner is just what she needs in a world that suddenly makes no sense at all. Dylan's presence is especially needed when the explosions start occurring outside of school. The most egregious of these incidents is when Mara is riding in a vehicle with two other friends, Jenna and Joe (Laine McNeil and Clive Holloway). Joe is driving when he suddenly explodes. There is a struggle to gain control of the car which ultimately crashes. Mara manages to escape from the car, then runs in the woods towards a river to clean herself from the blood and gore. Dylan drives up to the crash site, and when he figures out that Mara was in the crash, hurries after her to provide much needed comfort.
Dylan responds to Mara after she presents him with a play room.
As the story progresses the film takes a different twist as the government takes over and confines the seniors to a research facility. There is a faction of town residents blaming the students as a tool of the devil. The students themselves are in shock as their boyfriends and girlfriends are randomly taken away, leaving them and their parents fearing that they will be next. There is an ongoing parade of memorial services as the faces of the victims flash by on the screen. The government has no real success in figuring out what causes the explosions, and eventually releases the students after giving them blue pills. Mara is very grateful to be free again. Now realizing that her time could be up at any moment, Mara goes all out in her relationship with Dylan, a real coming of age moment for her. There are still many twists and turns in the story to come, but these are best left to viewers seeing Spontaneous for the first time.
Dylan and Mara dance together.
Based on Aaron Starmer's novel, writer/director Brian Duffield has given us not only a dark comedy with some truly funny moments like the ET scene in the government facility, but also thought-provoking drama. This is so unusual in the context of a horror movie, but Spontaneous is so much more. Many of the plot elements relate to events of today, even ones happening later than when it was produced. The film has many surprises that will keep you entertained. It's not a family film but older teens and adults will find it quite interesting. Excellent performances by Katherine Langford and Charlie Plummer get the viewer immediately engaged in their relationship, and there is a lot of character development, especially for Mara. You can view Spontaneous on Prime Video, Blu-ray or DVD. It is definitely worth checking out.
Mara contemplates her future after the many tragedies.
Best Chucks Scene
Mara's high top chucks are covered in blood after the first explosion.
Katherine Langford in her role as Mara wears black high top chucks in most of the scenes of the film. She did have on a pair of white high top chucks in the first explosion scene, most likely to better show off the impact of the blood and gore. There are also a number of good scenes of her in her black high tops at school, like when she brings Dylan to their playroom, and they dance together to celebrate their romance.

Parliamentary Watch: Parliament calls for strong life-long learning systems and action on poverty in EU Semester
The European Semester is a yearly exercise to coordinate the Member States' economic and budgetary policies and has a wide impact on social policies as well. The European Commission is starting the cycle by defining common priorities in the Annual Growth Survey, published in autumn 2015, and followed by country-reports in February, highlighting the challenges each country has to address. Based on these priorities, the Member States highlight their reform efforts in National Reform Programmes, published in April and the European Council adopts country-specific recommendations in June.
The European Parliament has adopted two positions on the Annual Growth Survey. In its reports, the European Parliament comments on the Commission's priorities which were published in autumn, which are to re-launch investment, to pursue structural reforms and "responsible" fiscal policies. The Parliament broadly welcomes these priorities, addressing recommendations on which policy areas to stress concretely.
The reports call repeatedly for investment to be directed into life-long learning and long-term care infrastructure. It also calls for decisive actions to fight long-term unemployment and to step up the fight against poverty, re-affirming the social targets the EU has set itself in the Europe 2020 strategy. It also emphasises the importance of social fairness in conducting reforms.
Fight long-term unemployment and start investing into life-long learning
Regarding older workers, the Parliament highlights the fact that employment rates are very low for this age category and that they are at a higher risk of long-term unemployment. The Parliament also highlights discrimination against long-term job-seekers and low hiring rates of older workers. Several calls are made to promote an investment strategy for the full cycle of education, including lifelong learning, work-based and workplace learning, and formal and non-formal education. The need to make education systems inclusive for all age groups by focussing on adult education and vocational training, especially to increase digital skills, are highlighted. The Parliament also called for coherent validation of non-formal and informal knowledge, mutual recognition of skills and qualifications.
Poverty target re-affirmed
The Europe 2020 poverty target, aimed to reduce the number of people living in poverty or social exclusion by 20 million by 2020, has also been reaffirmed. The Parliament calls for stronger action on poverty and to re-link the Europe 2020 strategy to the European Semester and invites the Commission to present an integrated anti-poverty strategy for the EU. It asks for including indicators for the quality of employment, poverty and inequalities in the Semester.
Pension reforms: reconcile adequacy and sustainability
In light of demographic change, the Parliament also raises the question of promoting active ageing and the importance of maintaining adequacy of first pillar pensions and minimum income schemes. Several references are made to adequacy of income support throughout the lifetime, all while maintaining the sustainability of public pension systems, the principle of subsidiarity in this regards.
Support carers, measure access to health care, invest in long-term care
The need for investment into formal and informal care resources is highlighted as well as the importance to improve the situation of informal carers. The Parliament reminds the principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which should be respected in the Semester process. In terms of health care, the Parliament encourages to measure the access and quality of healthcare with a view of reducing health inequalities.
