When we do, it's cringeworthy.
Having been all over Calgary throughout this election campaign, we've heard a lot said about a lot of things: taxes, arenas, transit, bike lanes, secondary suites and budgets. But there's one thing we haven't heard much talk about, until now.
It's not something we talk about in Calgary. Well, let me clarify that: it's not something white people in Calgary talk about. We white Calgarians generally tend to view ourselves as "colour blind" and accepting of all, and this being so, why would anyone—particularly people of colour—feel the need to bring up race at all?
Can't we just talk about something else instead?
Let's be honest: when white Calgarians do talk about race, it's usually cringeworthy and defensive. Phrases like "the race card" get thrown around so we can avoid any discomfort or self-examination.
"The race card" is a term that should have been excised from our collective vocabulary long ago. And yet take a look at the headlines coming from Postmedia's (overwhelmingly white) newsroom this week: Bill Smith accuses Nenshi of playing the race card in a bid to stir up support. Nenshi should ignore on-line haters and not play the race card.
Funny thing about the so-called "race card": it can seemingly only be played by people of colour. White people are almost never accused of it.
This is true even when we orchestrate entire election forums that don't have a single mention of Indigenous people, Treaty 7 or the Truth & Reconciliation Commission calls to action. Even when we keep the focus instead on topics like density, parking and keeping change out of our neighbourhoods.
This is white privilege at work, whether we acknowledge it or not.
Which brings us to last night's mayoral forum.
In his closing remarks, candidate Jason Achtymichuk (Gogo) requested an apology from the mayoral incumbent, saying that Nenshi had suggested that people who oppose him do so because they are hateful and racist.
This is untrue. Nenshi never said that.
It should surprise no one that racist trolls have been crawling out from under their rocks to make themselves heard online during this election campaign. Nor should it be surprising that such people support conservative white candidates over the brown Muslim one.
So remind us again why Nenshi is not allowed to talk about this?
Face it, Calgary: we don't know how to talk about race in this city. At all. The sooner we admit it, the sooner we can learn.

Gliders or Sailplanes are heavier-than-air aircraft primarily intended for unpowered flight. They have been used not only for sport but also for observations. Coming in various sizes and classes, they have been and are still flown all over the world. See also gliding and motor gliders for more details.
A "glider" is an unpowered aircraft. The most common types of glider are today used for sporting purposes. The design of these types enables them to climb using rising air instead of merely descending. This has created the sport of gliding, or soaring. The term "sailplane" is sometimes used for these types, implying a glider with a high soaring performance.
Although many gliders do not have engines, there are some that use engines occasionally. The manufacturers of high-performance gliders now often list an optional engine and a retractable propeller that can be used to sustain flight if required; these are known as 'self-sustaining' gliders. Some can even launch themselves and are known as 'self-launching' gliders. There are also touring motorgliders, which can switch off their engines in flight though without retracting their propellers. The term "pure glider" (or equivalently, but less commonly "pure sailplane") may be used to distinguish a totally unpowered glider from a motorized glider, without implying any differential in gliding or soaring performance.
Minimalist variations of gliders also occur in hang gliding and paragliding. The soaring performance is lower than a sailplane but they too can climb without using an engine.
In China, kites rather than gliders were used for military reconnaissance. However the Extensive Records of the Taiping Era (978) suggests that a true glider was designed in the fifth century B.C.E. by Lu Ban, a contemporary of Confucius. There is also a report that Yuan Huangtou, Ye made a successful glider flight taking off from a tower in 559.
Abbas Ibn Firnas is also claimed as the inventor the first manned glider in 875 by fixing feathers to a wooden frame fitted to his arms or back. Written accounts at the time suggest that he made a ten minute flight  although this is almost certainly an exaggeration of the flight's duration. Because his aircraft lacked a 'tail', he could neither steer nor land properly, and he was seriously injured in the resulting crash.
The first heavier-than-air (i.e. non-balloon) aircraft to be flown in Europe was Sir George Cayley's series of gliders which achieved brief wing-borne hops from around 1804. Santos Dumont, Otto Lilienthal, Percy Pilcher, John J. Montgomery, and the Wright Brothers are other pioneers who built gliders to develop aviation. After the First World War gliders were built in Germany for sporting purposes (See link to Rhön-Rossitten Gesellschaft). The sporting use of gliders rapidly evolved in the 1930s and is now the main application. As their performance improved gliders began to be used to fly cross-country and now regularly fly hundreds or even thousands of kilometers (km) in a day, if the weather is suitable.
Military gliders were then developed by a number of countries, particularly during World War II, for landing troops. A glider was even built secretly by POWs as a potential escape method at Oflag IV-C near the end of the war in 1944. The Orbiter vehicles or "space shuttles" do not use their engines after re-entry at the end of each spaceflight, and so land as gliders.
The two most common methods of launching gliders are by aerotow and by winch. When aerotowed, the glider is towed behind a powered aircraft using a rope about 60 meters (m) (about 200 feet (ft)) long. The glider's pilot releases the rope after reaching altitude, but the rope can also be released by the towplane in an emergency. Winch launching uses a powerful stationary engine located on the ground at the far end of the launch area. The glider is attached to one end of 800-1200 metres (about 2,500-4,000 ft) of wire cable and the winch then rapidly winds it in. More rarely, automobiles are used to pull gliders into the air or gliders are launched from sloping ground or cliffs.
More exotic forms of lift are the polar vortices which the Perlan Project hopes to use to soar to great altitudes . A rare phenomenon known as Morning Glory has also been used by glider pilots in Australia.
After climbing in lift, gliders move on to find the next source of lift, or to land. As the glider descends, the air moving over the wings generates lift. The lift force acts slightly forward of vertical because it is created at right angles to the airflow which comes from slightly below as the glider descends, see Angle of attack. This horizontal component of lift is enough to balance drag and allows the glider to move forward.
Early gliders had no cockpit and the pilot sat on a small seat located just ahead of the wing. These were known as "primary gliders" and they were usually launched from the tops of hills, though they are also capable of short hops across the ground while being towed behind a vehicle. To enable gliders to soar more effectively than primary gliders, the designs minimized drag. Gliders now have very smooth, narrow fuselages and very long, narrow wings with a high aspect ratio.

With each generation of materials and with the improvements in aerodynamics, the performance of gliders has increased. One measure of performance is the glide ratio. A ratio of 30:1 means that in smooth air a glider can travel forward 30 meters while only losing 1 meter of altitude. Comparing some typical gliders that might be found in the fleet of a gliding club - the Grunau Baby from the 1930s had a glide ratio of just 17:1, the glass-fiber Libelle of the 1960s increased that to 39:1, and nowadays flapped 18 meter gliders such as the ASG29 have a glide ratio of over 50:1. The largest open-class glider, the eta, has a span of 30.9 meters and has a glide ratio over 70:1. Compare this to the so-called Gimli Glider, a Boeing 767 which ran out of fuel mid-flight and was found to have a glide ratio of only 12:1, or to the Space Shuttle with a glide ratio of 1:1.

Modern competition gliders are also designed to carry jettisonable water ballast (in the wings and sometimes in the vertical stabiliser). The extra weight provided by the water ballast is advantageous if the lift is likely to be strong, and may also be used to adjust the glider's center of mass. Although heavier gliders have a slight disadvantage when climbing in rising air, they achieve a higher speed at any given glide angle. This is an advantage in strong conditions when the gliders spend only little time climbing in thermals. The pilot can jettison the water ballast before it becomes a disadvantage in weaker thermal conditions. To avoid undue stress on the airframe, gliders must jettison any water ballast before landing.
Two Seater Class (maximum wing-span of 20 metres), also known by the German name "Doppelsitzer"
See also the full gliders and manufacturers, past and present.
Gliders must be equipped with an altimeter, compass, and an airspeed indicator in most countries, and are often equipped with a variometer, turn and bank indicator and an airband radio (transceiver), each of which may be required in some countries. An Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon (ELT) may also be fitted into the glider to reduce search and rescue time in case of an accident.
Much more than in other types of aviation, glider pilots depend on the variometer, which is a very sensitive vertical speed indicator, to measure the climb or sink rate of the plane. This enables the pilot to detect minute changes caused when the glider enters rising or sinking air masses. Both mechanical and electronic 'varios' are usually fitted to a glider. The electronic variometers produce a modulated sound of varying amplitude and frequency depending on the strength of the lift or sink, so that the pilot can concentrate on centering a thermal, watching for other traffic, on navigation, and weather conditions. Rising air is announced to the pilot as a rising tone, with increasing pitch as the lift increases. Maximizing time in the best lift areas in an otherwise invisible air mass can therefore be realized. Conversely, descending air is announced with a lowering tone, which advises the pilot to escape the sink area as soon as possible. (Refer to the variometer article for more information).
Like all other aircraft, gliders are required to be painted with a national aircraft registration number, known as a "tail number" or in the U.S. as an "N-number." The required size of these numbers varies from country to country. Some countries allow registration numbers as small as 1cm in height; other countries specify a minimum height of two inches, three inches, or 12 inches, sometimes depending on the age of the aircraft.
To distinguish gliders in flight, very large numbers/letters are sometimes displayed on the fin and wings. These numbers were added for use by ground-based observers in competitions, and are therefore known as "competition numbers." They are unrelated to the glider's registration number, and are assigned by national gliding associations. They are useful in radio communications between gliders, so glider pilots often use their competition number as their call-signs.

Another—less widespread—form of gliding is aerobatics. Gliders have been developed specifically for this type of competition, though most gliders can perform simpler aerobatic maneuvers such as loops and chandelles. Aerobatic gliders usually have stronger and shorter wings than the gliders that are used in cross-country racing to withstand the high g-forces that are experienced in some maneuvers.
Some gliders are motor gliders, equipped with propellers that are either fixed, or retract into the fuselage. The motor can be powerful enough to allow these gliders to launch independently, or just powerful enough to allow the glider to climb slowly, requiring launching like unpowered gliders. A third type, termed touring motor glider, has a conventional small airplane layout with an engine and propeller on the front of the aircraft.

A sidewalk could be coming soon to Topsail Beach's central business district.
The state Department of Transportation has $35,000 for new sidewalks in the town, Town Manager Steve Foster told the board of commissioners Wednesday. The proposed sidewalk would run about 1,000 feet along the east side of Anderson Boulevard from Crews Avenue to Davis Avenue, Foster said.
The town has looked at putting sidewalks in the central business district before to make pedestrian traffic both easier and safer. But because many businesses have parking spaces close to the road, current regulations regarding the separation of the sidewalk and road would mean those businesses would lose their parking.
Foster said Wednesday he had spoken with DOT officials and been told that since the speed limit is 25 mph through that area, the separation between the road and sidewalk could be reduced from 10 feet to 6 feet. With the reduced separation, the town could move the sidewalk back to its proposed location without downtown businesses losing any parking.
While there might be an occasional bumper sticking out past the end of the parking space, Foster added, "Right now people are walking down the middle of the street."
Work on the sidewalk will likely start in the winter to ease the disruption for businesses, Foster said.
He added that the town might seek a waiver to put impervious concrete through the area, as opposed to pervious, since that area has heavier traffic and impervious would be more durable.
The board also reviewed sidewalks proposed in the DOT's Comprehensive Transportation Plan, which was approved Wednesday.
The plan includes sidewalks on both sides of N.C. 50 and sidewalks and bike lanes in other areas. Some board members raised concerns about possible conflicts between the plan and current sidewalks. But Tyler Bray with the DOT reminded the board that the it was a long-range plan.
"It's just a plan to show recommendations," Bray said. "There's nothing that says any of these programs will ever be built."
Commissioner Ray Strader said that by the time the 30-year plan is put into effect, the town's current sidewalks might need to be replaced anyway.

Additional funding secured for domestic and sexual abuse services in Avon and Somerset
Posted at 13:43 on 24th August 2021 in Good news
The OPCC has successfully secured £82,213 from the Ministry of Justice's (MoJ) Critical Support Fund to further support victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence across Avon and Somerset.
This funding was awarded to three local victim providers: £22,500 to Somerset and Avon Rape and Sexual Abuse Support (SARSAS), £40,189 to the Young Victim Service and £19,524 to Safelink Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVA) Service.
Across these three services, funding will be used to reduce waiting times for sexual violence counselling, provide support for children who are victims of domestic abuse and enhance specialist support for survivors of sexual abuse with learning disabilities.
During the same period, the OPCC supported Trauma Breakthrough in a successful bid of £20,897 as part of the MoJ's Male Rape Support Fund. Trauma Breakthrough is hoping to use this fund to set up a group psychotherapy programme for men who are victims of rape or sexual assault – including non-recent sexual assault.
The MoJ's Critical Support Fund and Male Rape Support Fund was made available in June, as additional funding to support victims and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, due an increase in demand in services as a result of the pandemic.
"A massive well done to the OPCC team for another successful bid to the MoJ; I know these extra funds will make a real difference to our providers who are on the frontline supporting victims and survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence.
"This additional funding will allow these organisations to continue to provide high-quality services for some of our most vulnerable victims at a critical time. With lockdown restrictions easing, more victims and survivors are coming forward to access help and we need to ensure that victim providers can respond to this increase in demand and complexity."
CEO for Safelink Sarah O'Leary said: "We are delighted to receive this additional funding as we can support more women, men and children who have survived rape or sexual assault who have a learning disability. People with learning disabilities are disproportionately likely to be victims of sexual violence. We know that with specialist services tailored to their individual needs, they can be supported to report sexual violence if they choose to, take up options such as going through the Criminal Justice Service and recover to lead fulfilling and safe lives free from abuse."
"The Young Victim service is pleased to have received some additional funding from the Critical Support Fund. This will help us to respond to the current demand and support more children affected by domestic abuse across Avon and Somerset."
Young Victim Service Head of Youth Justice, North Somerset Youth Offending and Prevention Service, and Children's Support and Safeguarding People and Communities Directorate Mike Rees
Trauma Breakthrough CEO Giles Lascelle said: "We are delighted to have the opportunity to provide this important service to male survivors of rape and sexual assault. Around one in six men and boys experience sexual assault, and most feel very alone in dealing with the short-term and long-term fallout. It takes on average 26 years for a male survivor to be able to talk about what happened to them. There are so few services able to meet these needs, so this funding will enable us to offer free specialist input to help men recover and be able to move on."
Domestic abuse can be abusive physical, emotional, psychological, financial or sexual behaviour between adults in a relationship or between family members.
If you or someone you know is at risk of domestic abuse or sexual violence, please speak to someone:
on the phone – call the police on 101 or 999 in an emergency
in person – at a police station
online – fill in the report a crime or incident form
Support for victims and survivors
Help is available whether you report to the police or not, and no matter how long ago the crime took place. Find out more about local support services.

Like life, some may say, passive (investment) strategies assumes (market) efficiency. It predicates that you cannot beat what is a determined surity for the future- a sort of fatalism I suppose. You can only move up in down with the trends and if you're properly diversified ('educated' or 'social' or 'attractive' enough) you will gain from the long term (secular) upswing. It's an unquestioned approach to both life and investments- again I make my Forrest Gump analogy. Is there a fallacy to this? To look at it from the other side, you pay more for more active (investment) management ('adventure,' 'challenge,' 'chance'); potentially gaining more by exposing your portfolio ('life': to keep the analogy) to opportunities that arise as a result of inneficiencies in pricing (i.e. it's an unpopular company so it becomes market underweighted and cheaper due to nothing other than panic and will eventually rise to its true 'intrincic' value). Do we burn out and pay a higher cost due to greater asset turnover ( again more'change,' or 'adventure' or whatever life parralel you draw) but at the hopes of a greater reward (in investment parlance you've obtained 'alpha' over the 'systematic risk' obtained by following the market blindly)? Do we simply admit our peace on the hopes of constant long term secular increases ('wealth,' 'career,' 'family,' etc), knowing that you will just gain in time? What if your 'time' is at one of those downturns and you're trying to retire? All along you may have missed the opportunities, which now appear to be worth the extra costs. Or was it? What if you guess wrong and have a set back? What is the cost to your sanity of all the extra time spent studying and being educated on how to turnover your assets at each opportunity? What choice would you make? That's for you to decide.

Near one million Indian Military troops in Occupied Kashmir fear 200 - 300 armed fighters: Report
SRINAGAR - Near one million Indian Military troops in Occupied Kashmir fear 200 - 300 armed fighters, if Indian media report is to be believed.
Occupied Jammu and Kashmir Police chief Dilbag Singh on Sunday said 200 to 300 militants are active in the state and Pakistan has intensified cross-border firing.
It revealed the entire lockdown of the Indian Military troops is to fight these 300 fighters which are still untraceable in the valley.
He said these militants had managed to sneak into the state from across the border recently even as the counter-infiltration grid scuttled various attempts by eliminating infiltrators.
"The number of active militants (in Jammu and Kashmir) is between 200 to 300... the figure usually does not remain static and goes up and down," Singh told reporters during a visit to the border district of Poonch to review the security situation, PTI has reported.
The director general of police (DGP) said Pakistan has intensified ceasefire violations.
"A large number of ceasefire violations are taking place in both Kashmir and Jammu regions. It is going on in Kanachak, R S Pura and Hira Nagar (along the International Border) and quite frequently along the LoC in Poonch, Rajouri, Uri, Nambla, Karnah and Keran," Singh said.

The 40-year-old, Uruguay legend Diego Forlan has finally put a full stop to his football career after playing for ten clubs. Forlan was named the best player of the tournament in World Cup 2010. He also helped Uruguay in winning the Copa America 2011, the last time they won this cup.
The Uruguayan tweeted about his retirement saying: " After 21 years I made the decision to end my career as a professional footballer. A beautiful stage closes full of great memories and emotions but another new challenge will begin. Thanks to all who in one way or another accompanied me on this path!"
Diego Forlan started his career at Argentine Club, Atlético Independiente at a tender age. He impressed top European clubs with his goalscoring and playmaking abilities. He was transferred soon to Manchester United for a £6.9 million deal. Forlan had a slow start at United in his first season in 2002 but was impressive in his second season. In his two years at United, he made 63 appearances and scored ten goals. Villarreal signed him in 2004, where he proved himself. He made 106 appearances and scored 54 goals.
He gained an astounding amount of following since, and Atletico Madrid came calling for him. Atletico signed him for £21 million in 2007. He scored 74 goals in 136 appearances over five years in the Spanish club. Forlan helped them with a Europa League title in 2009.
A consistent downgrading form led him for a move to Inter Milan in 2011 for a minimal £5 million fee. Then came in a spree of transfers, he enjoyed spells at Internacional, Cerezo, Osaka, Penarol, Mumbai City and Kitchee in the latter stages of his career.

Matthew Kinsey says:
Joshua's new album is a breath of fresh air. He combines so many genres and influences in his music. He is the new piano based artist for this generation. While you hear influences from Billy Joel, Elton John, Randy Newma, Hall and Oates, and The Beatles he creates his own unique sound. I have seen this guy play live his ability on the piano is something you have to witness to believe. He has the chops of a McCoy Tyner while still being a pop/rock singer songwriter. He is so skilled on piano he could be known just for that. He is much more than that though. He's a composer, songwriter, pianist, singer, and showman. I highly recommend this album.
Joshua Rich has really poured a lot of emotion into this album and you feel it! Incredible pianist and vocalist his lyrics speaks volumes. Love it….. BRAVO
Mary Dailey says:
Joshua Rich makes me feel better whenever I see him perform! He is a home run – he writes his own words, his own music, sings, and plays the piano like no one else I have ever seen! I bought this CD and every time I am in my car it's on! I love his music and his performing so much!

NZ Dollar Attempts to Rise After Surprise Growth of Employment
The New Zealand dollar attempted to rally today following a surprisingly positive employment report that showed that New Zealand unexpectedly added jobs last quarter. The currency has retreated against some of its rivals by now but managed to keep gains versus others.
Statistics New Zealand reported that the number of employed New Zealanders increased by 0.7% in the March quarter, seasonally adjusted, versus expectations of a 0.2% decline. Year-on-year, employment grew by 1.6%. The unemployment rate increased from 4.0% to 4.2% but was still below the consensus forecast of 4.4%. Wage inflation in the private sector was at 0.3%, missing market expectations of 0.5%.
Yesterday, several reports were released. A report from Statistics New Zealand revealed that the number of building consents plunged by 21.3% in March after rising by 5.7% in February. The ANZ World Commodity Price Index fell by 1.1% in April after declining by 2.0% in March. The GlobalDairyTrade Price Index fell by 0.8% after sinking 4.2% on the previous reporting period.
Meanwhile, markets continue to watch developments in the US-China conflict over the origins and handling the coronavirus that originated in China and spread across the world, causing a global pandemic. US President Donald Trump claims that the virus came from the Chinese laboratory studying viruses due to mishandling. China vehemently denies such claims, while the World Health Organization and the top US epidemiologist Anthony Fauci say that there is no evidence that the virus was man-made. The spat between the world's two biggest economies can throw a wrench into the process of global economic recovery after the pandemic subsides.
NZD/USD was up from 0.6049 to 0.6073 intraday but backed off to 0.6404 by 9:54 GMT today. EUR/NZD declined from 1.7900 to 1.7862. NZD/JPY went down from 64.41 to 64.18, pulling back from the daily high of 64.62. GBP/NZD dropped from 2.0567 to 2.0481.

Ancient Olympic Games: Everything About It
By Jeremy Caroll Last updated Apr 25, 2022
The Ancient Olympic Games are an athletic festival. It originated in ancient Greece. It was resurrected in the late nineteenth century. Before the 1970s, the Games were officially restricted to amateur competitors. But in the 1980s, many events were opened up to professional athletes. Currently, the Games are open to all. Further including the best professional basketball and football players (soccer). Several of the sports that are now part of the Summer Games program.
Those were included in the ancient Olympic Games. It is which at times included events in as many as 32 different sports. The Winter Games were established in 1924 to promote winter sports. The Ancient Olympic Games have come to be recognized as the world's premier sporting event.
Origins of the Ancient Olympic Games
It is unclear how far back in history organized athletic contests were held. But they are reasonably sure to have occurred in Greece nearly 3,000 years ago. Regardless of their origins. By the end of the sixth century BCE. At least four Greek sporting festivals, sometimes referred to as "classical games,". It had gained prominence: the Ancient Olympic Games at Olympia. The Pythian Games at Delphi. The Nemean Games at Nemea. And the Isthmian Games near Corinth. Similar festivals were later held in nearly 150 cities. It further includes Rome, Naples, Odessus, Antioch, and Alexandria.

The Ancient Olympic Games were the most well-known of all the games held in Greece. Held every four years between August 6 and September 19. They were so important in Greek history that historians. In late antiquity measured time by the interval between them—an Olympiad. Like almost all Greek games. The Ancient Olympic Games were inextricably linked to a religious festival.
The city-state of Elis in the northwestern Peloponnese. They hosted them in honor of Zeus at Olympia. Coroebus of Elis. A cook, was the first Olympic champion recorded. Further winning the sprint race in 776 BCE. The idea that the Olympics began much earlier than 776 BCE. It is based on myth rather than historical evidence. According to one legend. Heracles, the son of Zeus and Alcmene, founded the Games.
Status and Competition
Apparently, there was only one event at the meeting in 776 BCE. A footrace that covered one length of the track at Olympia. But other events were added over the following decades. The stade race was approximately 192 meters (210 yards) long. The word stade also came to refer to the racetrack. And it is the origin of the modern English word stadium.
The dialog, a two-length race roughly comparable to the 400-meter race. It was added in 724 BCE. The dolichos, a long-distance race comparable to the modern 1,500- or 5,000-metre events. It was added four times later. In 708 BCE, wrestling and the pentathlon were introduced. The latter was an all-around competition with five events. Long jump, javelin throw, discus throw, footrace, and wrestling.
Boxing was invented in 688 BCE. And chariot racing followed eight years later. The pancratium (from Greek pankration), a kind of no-holds-barred combat. It was added in 648 BCE. Wrestling, boxing, and street fighting. Those were all used in this brutal competition.
Only biting and gouging (thrusting a finger or thumb into an opponent's eye) were prohibited. Kicking and hitting a downed opponent were permitted. Events for boys were introduced between 632 and 616 BCE. Additional events were added from time to time. Such as a footrace in which athletes ran in partial armor. And competitions for heralds and trumpeters.
On the other hand, the program was not nearly as diverse as that of the modern Olympics. There were no team or ball games. And the athletics (track and field) events were limited. To the four running events and the pentathlon mentioned above. The hippodrome south of the stadium. It was hosted chariot races and horse racing. It is which became a part of the ancient olympic games.
The Ancient Olympic Games and Women
Although there were no women's events in the ancient olympic games. Several women appeared as the owners of the stables of some victorious chariot entries. This was on the official lists of Olympic victors. Girls and young women practiced and competed locally in Sparta. Aside from Sparta. However, contests for young Greek women were extremely rare. They are most likely limited to an annual local footrace. However, at Olympia, the Herean festival.
It is which was held every four years in honor of the goddess Hera. It included a race for young women divided into three age groups. However, the Herean race was not part of the Olympics. It took place at a different time of year. And was most likely not established before the arrival of the Roman Empire. The girls then competed in a few other important athletic venues for a short time.

Women were prohibited from entering Olympia during the actual Games. According to the 2nd-century-CE traveler Pausanias. Nonetheless, he noted that the law and penalty had never been used. His account later contradicted itself by stating. That unmarried women were permitted to attend the Olympics as spectators. Many historians believe that this passage of Pausanias'.
Text was simply copied incorrectly by a later scribe. Nonetheless, the notion that all or only married women were barred. From participating in the Games persisted in popular writing on the subject. Despite the fact that the evidence regarding women as spectators remains unclear.
The Olympics' Demise
In the middle of the 2nd century BCE. Greece lost its independence to Rome. And support for Olympia and other competitions declined. Significantly over the next century. The Romans despised athletics, believing that stripping naked. And competing in public was degrading. On the other hand, the Romans recognized the political value of Greek festivals. And Emperor Augustus staged games for Greek athletes. In a temporary wooden stadium erected near the Circus Maximus in Rome.
And established major new athletic festivals in Italy and Greece. Emperor Nero was also a big fan of Greek festivals. Still, he disgraced himself. And the Ancient Olympic Games by entering a chariot race. Further falling off, and then declaring himself the winner anyway.

The Romans did not train for or participate in Greek athletics. The Ancient Olympic Games and Greek athletics had nothing to do with Roman gladiator shows and team chariot racing. The main difference between Greek and Roman attitudes is reflected. In the words each culture used to describe its festivals: contests (Agnes). For the Greeks and games for the Romans (Ludi).
The Greeks originally planned their festivals for competitors. While the Romans planned them for the general public. One was primarily about competition. While the other was about entertainment. Because of the festival's pagan associations. The Roman emperor Theodosius I or his son abolished the Ancient Olympic Games around 400 CE.
The modern Olympics were created as a result of the ideas and efforts of many people. Pierre, baron de Coubertin, was born on New Year's Day, 1863, in Paris. He was the most well-known architect of modern Games. Coubertin's family tradition pointed to a career in the army or possibly politics. But at the age of 24, he decided that his future lay in education. Particularly physical education.
In 1890, he traveled to England to meet Dr. William Penny Brookes. He is who had written some educational articles that piqued the Frenchman's interest. Brookes had also attempted to resurrect the ancient Olympic Games for decades. further drawing inspiration from a series of modern Greek Olympiads held in Athens beginning in 1859.

No, not in the snowy mountains of South Lake Tahoe, or beachfront in Maui.
*SIGH* But, now that i'm all depressed about not owning a home in either Tahoe or Maui, let's talk just a minute about Therapeutic.
I started a new blog to highlight my product reviews and giveaways. I've been approached a lot lately to test out products I feel my readers would enjoy, and bonus giveaways with some offers as well.
Check it out. It's a smaller, cozier place, nice lighting. Good location. Think of it as my "guest quarters." While you're there, 'follow' me so you can be up to date with my latest news and great contests. Therapeutic's sidebar offers a sneak-peek to what i'll be talking about in the weeks to come.
All my neuroses will be all tucked nice and gently into this blog, no overflow into the second house. Vice-versa as well, I won't be posting my reviews or contests here anymore. Deal.
EXCEPT FOR TONIGHT. I'll be drawing the two winners of the Chicken Soup books and will be posting them here and on Therapeutic.
Now I must get back to dreaming of spending my future Christmases on a beautiful island, sand between my toes, sipping a Mai Tai, extra Tai.
Hi there! Just surfed in here and wanted to let you know I <3 your blog!!
You don't have a second home? Hmph! I do...a nice little cabin in my head, um, the woods. It's great!
You are so versatile! And talented! And beautiful! Buy me a drink while you are at the bar, ok?
yay! can't wait to follow your new one! Sounds like a great idea... does that get me brownie points for the books?
I saw it yesterday- good for you! Eventually it will lead to the second home and you can put me up for a week or two or three.
I have been doing give-a-ways and looking into reviews. It is a lot of fun..... a second home is a good idea when it gets really popular.
How fun. What a great idea.
Love your new place. Great decor and fun freebies. Thanks for inviting us over!
Thanks for the invite. I am on my way over right now!
I sure miss the beach.
Wonderful idea. I'll hop on over and check it out.
yay! i will have to go and check it out, it sounds awesome!
Congrats on your new site - what fun it is! And what a great new header you have there. My you're a talented lady!
That is so cool about the reviews and such...You are on your way blog woman!
Yay new blog! I checked it out - very nice.
Good idea. I like the new site.
For some reason, your house in Tahoe reminded me of your family travels to my neck of the woods, and had to tell you that we hit the casino for a work party a couple nights ago! AND we won $45 on the slots. Whoo hooo!
Yay for more bloggy goodness! I think it's so cool that you've gotten enough offers to need a whole other blog! Woot woot!


The quality 'majestic' of cheese slices S. Jorge PDO is here represented by the involvement of color. Keeping the connection to the original labeling present on the whole cheese. Representation through the wheel image of cheese, provides consumers with the guarantee and the identification of its origin. The differentiation between the various cures is made, in addition to the appointment, by creating a color zone associated with the original whole cheese colors.
The premium cures of 12 and 24 months, are represented by the use of a different color - black - instead of gold on the outside of the label positioning this product in a higher category. The interior follows the time of their healing, making the necessary differentiation. The language used makes a clear distinction between the cures of 3, 4 and 7 months. The logo in all references retains its identity and comes in a single color.

Even though Steve and I have become pretty open about the pregnancy with our friends, I'm still keeping it a secret at work. I'm not sure why, exactly; it seems like that's what you're supposed to do.
Unlike some people, I'm not really worried about how they'll react. I'm fairly sure that I'm an important member of the team (so I won't be shuffled off to obscurity). Also, Jobster is quite a family-friendly place, even though none of its female employees have yet been pregnant while working there. See this blog entry by one of my colleagues for his perspective on the Jobster family culture.
In any case, I'm laying low for the time being. I go on vacation at the end of August, and I'm going to see if I can wait until my return to give the news. I think that's the best way. Now, if I can only keep from showing too much for the next couple of weeks. I seem to have plateaued in that respect, so I might well make it.
Also complicating things is the question of if and when I'll return to work. I don't yet know what I'll do, so it's hard to tell Jobster anything with certainty (although I know the right wording is, "yes, I'm definitely coming back." I need to tell them that to get paid maternity leave. I'm sure they offer maternity leave (though it's not legally mandated), but I don't know how much I get, or who to ask without tipping my hand.
I'm not sure I'll know for certain whether I'll return to work until the baby's born. I know that so much can change then, that I feel like I should leave things open (in my mind at least). My preference would probably be to stay home. On the other hand, if Jobster continues to be as successful as it's been, it may be quite lucrative to return for a year or two (to reap some stock option rewards). Steve could be the stay-home parent at first, before switching off with me, maybe.


So it's been one of those weeks. Nothing I can quite put my finger on, but for some reason, this week has felt exceptionally long. It must be this weather. Or the fact that, even though we're almost through February, it still seems like spring is a long way off. Not to be a Debbie Downer or anything. But after a week like this one, I'm thinking a good mixology session is in order. And I've got just the libation you need.
You see, a few weeks back, I took a brief respite from Wisconsin winter and went on a nice little trip to the Pacific Northwest. It was lovely. And while I was there, I had a wonderful little drink (not to mention some seriously amazing Vietnamese fish sauce wings) at Pok Pok in Portland. Now mind you, I had been drinking all day at various breweries and distilleries across Portland, but this particular drink stood out because it was made with, among other things, drinking vinegar. At first, I was skeptical. Vinegar, after all, is not something I normally think of as a beverage. Nonetheless, I gave it a try, and was pleasantly surprised. The tanginess and acidity of the vinegar added another dimension to the drink that was absolutely fantastic.
So of course, it seemed like a good idea to try to create my own version of this drink at home. Now, not having any of Pok Pok's delicious drinking vinegar lying around, I knew I was going to have to come up with something of my own. And while it's pretty easy to make your own flavored drinking vinegar, it does take some time. In a pinch, I decided to try making a quick version of a shrub - a vinegar-based beverage popular during the colonial era comprised of fruit juice, sugar, and vinegar. In this case, I used grapefruit juice, honey, and some good quality apple cider vinegar. Mixed with a little lime, some gin, sparkling water, and a dash of Campari, and my concoction was complete. Deliciously refreshing, with just the right amount of alcohol for a good post week beverage. I'd say the weekend is off to a good start.
1. Combine grapefruit juice and honey, stir until honey is dissolved. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and lime juice.
2. In a 12 oz glass with ice, pour in the gin, grapefruit juice mixture, and a dash of Campari. Top off glass with sparkling water. Stir to mix. Taste drink - if more sweetness is desired, add a little more honey. Garnish with lime slice, and enjoy!


Why am i surrounded by idiots???
It may APPEAR silver, but it may just be BLUEING.
Ya got me why it is silver and gold. My friend doesn't know either. Here's another pic of the cap. Sure is purdy. I hear it calling- "eat me."
I have no clue. My buddy says it's an Aussie or an Orissa. He's not sure which kind. No one has tried 'em.

Three Incumbents, No Challengers Announce for Town Board
Judy Silberstein, posted on June 4, 2009
Three incumbents – Valerie O'Keeffe, Ernie Odierna and Nancy Seligson – are running for re-election on the Mamaroneck Town Board – at this point without opposition.
Valerie O'Keeffe, 66, announced on Tuesday, June 2 that she would run again for supervisor. An attorney, Ms. O'Keeffe has been on the council since 1993 and the supervisor since 1999. She is the sole Republican on the board.
Ernie Odierna, 73, was first elected in 1998 and was re-elected without opposition in 2001 and 2005. He runs his own technology company, Com/Peripherals. He and his wife, Camille Odierna live in the unincorporated area of Mamaroneck Town. Their son, daughter-in-law and three grandchildren live in Mamaroneck Village.
Nancy Seligson, 48, was appointed to the board in 2000 to fill Ms. O'Keeffe's unexpired term. Ms. Seligson ran unopposed later in 2000 and again in 2001 and 2005. She is the co-chair of the Citizens Advisory Committee of the Long Island Sound Study, which works with federal, state and local governments on restoration and protection of the Sound. Ms. Seligson lives in Larchmont Village with her husband, John Feingold, and a son who is finishing 9th grade at Mamaroneck High School. She has three stepdaughters.
Valerie O'Keeffe, Ernie Odierna and Nancy Seligson are seeking re-election in the Town of Mamaroneck.
Non-Partisan Cooperation?
In her announcement, Ms. O'Keeffe cited her good working relationship with the board. (See complete announcement.)
"Our present Town Board has been very productive and worked in a cooperative, non-partisan manner which has led to many accomplishments, especially in the areas of land use, the environment, and enhancement of recreation programs."
Mr. Odierna and Ms. Seligson did not disagree with Ms. O'Keeffe's characterization. However, they both said they would like to see new leadership.
"It's reasonable that a change would be good for the town – change is in the air," said Ms. Seligson. "A different person, planning and vision for the future would be good."
Ms. Seligson said it was not a good time in her own life to run for supervisor. Further, the bulk of her work is focused on Long Island Sound and on environmental initiatives, she said, and she "can do a lot of good in the environmental arena" as a council member.
Mr. Odierna already ran for supervisor against Ms. O'Keeffe in 2007, losing by more than 2 to 1. Tom Murphy, a Democrat on the Mamaroneck Village Board, had stepped up to the plate in April to challenge Ms. O'Keeffe. However, last month, Mr. Murphy abruptly withdrew from the race and later resigned as trustee, citing unspecified personal reasons.
There is still time for someone else to come forward. Nominating petitions are not due until July. "We're still considering several candidates," said Roz Weinstein, chair of the Mamaroneck Town Democrats.
However, given Ms. O'Keeffe's long-term electoral success in a town where Democrats significantly outnumber Republicans, it may be hard for the Democrats to find a viable challenger.
Work Done, Work Left to Do
In her announcement, Ms. O'Keeffe listed a number of accomplishments of the past two-year term. These include: introducing use of bio-fuels to heat municipal buildings and operate two sanitation trucks; consolidating senior programs for the Village of Mamaroneck with those for Mamaroneck Town and Larchmont Village; and working with Westchester County and neighboring municipalities on flood mitigation.
Ms. O'Keeffe also cited new medians on Myrtle Boulevard and new traffic signals at the nearby intersection with North Chatsworth along with the soon to be completed parking deck. Timing of the lights and new fees for parking have generated considerable controversy in the past two years.
Ms. O'Keeffe mentioned also that she had been elected president of the Westchester-Putnam Association of Town Supervisors.
Ms. Odierna said, going forward, a focus will be on services consolidation to save money. "I don't know if there is enormous savings to be had or any low hanging fruit, but it's worth looking at and exploring with the two villages."
He would also like to see more recreational programs in the unincorporated part of Mamaroneck, such as kayaking at Gardens Lake. He said he has not given up on the idea of developing a teen center in the Highway Department garage. (See ).

Irony! The story identifies a significant problem in its lines and a real solution between its lines.
Too much government, too few qualified candidates. Too little real thinking, too many personal agendas. Too long politics as usual.
The low hanging fruit is the consolidation/elimination of the multiple government bodies in the three municipalities of the Town and its villages. Then onward from there for service improvements, cost savings and lower taxes.
To rework an old phrase, "No representation without a real election!"
Because the law does not require it … not a very good reason!
Somebody asked the Board tonight at its meeting why only portions of Mamaroneck Town Board meeting were broadcast on LMC-TV and/or LMC-TV.org and why other portions were held outside the range of the cameras.
The response was that the law did not require any portions of the meetings to be broadcast and that the portion that was chosen by the Board to be broadcast was broadcast.
Does anybody know if the law prohibits broadcasting the entire meeting or are there just parts that are made less convenient for residents to see and hear.
Perhaps the candidates running for office can respond and those who feel it is appropriate, can commit to support the broadcasting of the entire meetings.
Does the public need to be left in the dark by its local government or is this not the 21st century?

New Teaser Trailer for Star Wars VII
[Source: Yahoo!Movies] A new teaser has debuted for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," featuring John Boyega's character, Finn, wielding a blue lightsaber as he appears to face off with Adam Driver's Kylo Ren in a continuation of the much-discussed scene from the first "Force Awakens" trailer, which introduced the concept of a crossguard lightsaber to a galaxy far, far away.
The video dropped on Instagram as a demonstration of the platform's newly introduced landscape and portrait orientation options for photos and videos.
Driver's enigmatic character has inspired plenty of speculation in the lead-up to the release of "Episode VII," with reports revealing that his character is not a Sith in the vein of Darth Vader or Darth Maul — instead, Kylo Ren is a member of an order known as the Knights of Ren, who built his unorthodox weapon from scratch.
"The movie explains the origins of [Kylo Ren's] mask and where it's from, but the design was meant to be a nod to the Vader mask. [Ren] is well aware of what's come before, and that's very much a part of the story of the film," director J.J. Abrams recently explained.
Ren works under Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis), described by Abrams as "a powerful figure on the Dark Side of the Force," who provides the ominous voiceover for the Instagram teaser.
"The Force Awakens" bows in theaters on Dec. 18. "Jurassic World" helmer Colin Trevorrow was recently announced as the director for "Star Wars: Episode IX" during Disney's D23 Expo, with Rian Johnson previously confirmed as the writer and director for "Episode VIII," which is scheduled for for release on May 26, 2017. "Episode IX" is scheduled for release in 2019, while a Han Solo origin film, directed by "The Lego Movie" and "21 Jump Street" helmers Chris Miller and Phil Lord, will bow in theaters on May 25, 2018. The first standalone film in the franchise, "Star Wars: Rogue One," will debut on December 16, 2016, and is directed by "Godzilla's" Gareth Edwards.

This trinket will have situational uses for many boss fights, probably well into Cataclysm.
Im thinking that this would suggest something about the fight with arthas. Maybe a huge magical damage spike on the Main Tank of all schools?
This will surely be best in slot until cataclysm.
The 239 resistance will come on top of any other effects you have, and pvp'ers only compensate for those effects right now. If you have 239 resistance after enemy spell penetration, you're looking at about 40% reduced damage (average) and chance to catch magic based CCs. I suspect this trinket will be a serious headache in arenas when trying to burst an enemy down.
This is a pain suppression against spell damage and a very high resistance against spell effects on a one minute cooldown, along with a ton of stamina. I could see this being useful for defensive healers in the arena, or any primary target in a 5's team. I wonder if it is off the GCD like the battlemaster trinket?
415 is the cap for Resistance at lvl80.
Beautiful trinket to tank with, should stack with resist rings such as Runed Ring of Binding + Signified Ring of Binding.
Where does this trinket come from?
Would be nice to have for a lot of fights as a bear, what with our terrible magic mitigation. And the stam is nothing to sneeze at.
I think the name of the buff is pretty stupid though, makes no sense to use the frost drake's Fang only to gain the Aegis of Dalaran.
Free Anti-Magic Shell for every tank FTW!
Also HUUUUGE amounts of stamina here, which is always good.
Together with Incanter's Absorption (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=44396) this might come in handy for pve mages.
Finaly we get a "On-Use" effect on a stamina-trinket which is useful for encounters in which you want to stack stamina over other stats: in combats with heavy magical damage incoming.
I suggest to all tanks to take a pair of trinkets for melee encounter with armor, dodge and parry block, and a pair of trinkets with heavy stamina like this one.
I think it's kind of stupid to stack stamina only versus hardhitters and its also useless to stack avoi or on-use avoid against magical damage.
In my honest opinion this would be the best for DK tanks or Paladin tanks seeing how a paladin with MULTIPLE element resistances 130 + 239 = 359 Resistance. To Frost Shadow or fire. A DK has Acclimation. Though i'm not very fond of finding DK tanks spec'ed into said talent.
Also take note this would work for all tanks - althoguh if it stacks with the talents / auras it would be best for my posted classes.
A stam trinket is already the best choice for tanks involved in a heavy magic damage fight.
But a stam trinket with a powerful anti-magic damage on-use effect?
This is an amazing trinket, I definitely want it on my DK.
Once I get it, I won't have to worry about losing in PvP to casters, which is a nice bonus.
This will still be an insane trinket in Cataclysm since Resistance doesn't scale.
you can use this to survive the Reaper at lich king.
and so on, its realy great for it.
Tanking Keleseth in princes - We usually use one of our main tanks for it (usually me on my druid, chuck a lacerate on the orbs ) and this could maybe be used to mitigate the empowered bolts?
I'm sure theres many more uses that i havn't thought of randomly!
This is obviously desirable to all tanking classes, and maybe I'm just being a troll, but it seems like a bear trinket. Bears can have issues with magic-using bosses, and that massive chunk of stamina would run through large multipliers in Dire Bear form, making it even more relevant.
I tested this on the Lich King tonight, and throughout the entire fight (Roughly 9-10 Soul Reapers) I did not resist ANY of the damage with this trinkets on-use effect up. So, unfortunately one of the best implications for this trinket doesn't actually work. The only fight I think this trinket could be useful on is possibly Sindragosa, no other fight in ICC has enough magic damage to really make it worth it.
yes the stamina is a large part of its usefulness but the resistance is imba in some very key fights.
4. using just before a few is due and theres flames on floor.
pvp wise though its a tough choice and one i rarely take.
your normal trap/fear/stun trinket ( Medallion of the Alliance) is needed more and will save you life more often than you can get the fang activated.
and i find the Corroded Skeleton Key + Medallion of the Alliance is a far better combo.
i've tried fang and medallion and key and fang and personally the option to remove a fear or stun and then absorb 6.4k og dmg far better.
nethertherless fang+key is the best tank combo for a druid tank and many other tanks too.
althoug using 2 trinkets identical trinkets would be nice i like having options for both caster and any type dmg.
Gives out about 28.85% resistance to Arcane, Fire, Frost, Nature, and Shadow at 85 - pretty decent if you really dont have anything else (even like Désespoir plombé ) but again, for certain fights and if you dont have tol barad trinket.
A patch 5.1 hotfix pretty much ruined this item past Cata levels. "Now provides 15% less resistance per level beyond level 85."

Chausson was the kind of book-collector with the means to possess a copy of Les Fleurs du mal by Charles Baudelaire in the first edition of 1857. The poem L'albatros stands near the beginning of that great work, the second of the section entitled Spleen et Idéal. Chausson might have known Duparc's L'invitation au voyage at this early stage of his career (La vie antérieure, Duparc's other great Baudelaire setting had not yet been written) and he might have been spurred to set this poet by Faure's publication of his two Baudelaire settings, La rançon and Chant d'automne, which appeared in 1879.
This is a grotesquely pessimistic text for a young composer. It talks of clumsiness and handicap and ugliness (although Chausson excises the poem's third strophe where the albatross is tortured by the sailors) and one senses that Chausson, even at the tender age of 24, before he has suffered any actual musical setbacks, identifies all too easily with Baudelaire's agonised analogy of the artist in society.
Of course the song is a failure, as most settings of this poet are doomed to be, but at least it is an honourable one. The sombre tonality of the original key of E flat minor is awkwardly written in an ineffective tessitura. The wide-ranging arpeggios of the accompaniment suggest a large bird in flight, and there is a certain liquidity in the vocal melody—not exactly a memorable tune—which glides effectively from one key to another as if restlessly seeking a place to land. As long as the song deals with sea and bird pictures Chausson, awash with chromatic idées reçues, manages somehow. The real failure of the piece is the last verse where the poet draws his moral. At 'Le Poète est semblable au prince des nuées' the accompaniment switches in to high-flown triplets which underpin a march-like melody in a mode of sublime triumphalism. One understands that Chausson is aiming for something prince-like and regal, but this music is puffed u p and platitudinous, the fate of most song composers when they attempt to make a philosophical point. The interest of the setting is that it shows us that between May 1879 (when Le rideau de ma voisine had been written) and October of the same year (when he grappled with L'albatros) Chausson had decided to ditch Massenet as a teacher: the song carries the signs, for better and worse, of the recent convert to César Franck and that composer's 'sublime' style.
The ship as it glides through briny depths.
Trail piteously beside them like oars.
His giant's wings prevent him from walking.

Director of "The Exorcist" Says Psychiatrists Can't Explain Real Exorcism
On lists of scariest movies and scariest novels ever, "The Exorcist" is one of the few that appears at or near the top of both. The film's director, William Friedkin, has just released a documentary in which he filmed an actual exorcism that he has previously admitted was "terrifying." However, he's now revealed something that seems to terrify him even more … science can't explain what he saw.
"There are many things, like radioactivity, that we knew nothing about for the longest time. And now it has a name and it's a field of study. And maybe some day they'll find some medical or other term for possession. I don't know."
In the meantime, Friedkin remains shook up by both the real exorcism that he witnessed and by the response he received from the doctors and psychiatrists who watched the video in his new documentary, "The Devil and Father Amorth." Father Armorth is the late Italian priest and experienced exorcist Gabriele Amorth, who allowed Friedkin to witness his exorcism of a 46-year-old Italian woman in 2016. While Friedkin admitted that being just two feet away from the act terrified him, that terror eventually turned to empathy for the woman. It also convinced him that, if he were to make the movie today, it would be quite different.
Both Father Amorth and Friedkin admitted that the common view of exorcisms is based on the movie, which is much different from the real thing. In fact, the late author William Peter Blatty admitted that his novel "The Exorcist" was not the result of any personal witnessing on his part of a real exorcism. Instead, he based the priest, Father Merrin, on British archaeologist and Dead Sea Scrolls hunter Gerald Lankester Harding, and the exorcism itself on an account of an exorcism in 1949 of a 14-year-old boy (identified by the pseudonyms Robbie Mannheim and Roland Doe) performed by Jesuit priest Fr. William S. Bowdern. Later investigations referred to "Robbie" as "disturbed" but not possessed.
Friedkin might disagree with that diagnosis, especially after talking to brain surgeons who viewed the filmed exorcism. He explains in an interview with Huffington Post:
"Now, these were guys who have done over 5,000 brain surgeries each. So I took it to them, and they all to a person said: We don't know what this is. It's not epilepsy; it's not a lesion in the temporal lobe. We would not know what to remove from her brain to solve this."
Then, as he tells NPR, he showed it to psychiatrists.
"And the psychiatrists told me, to my astonishment, that psychiatry now recognizes it as something called dissociative identity disorder - demonic possession."
Dissociative identity disorder was previously known as multiple personality disorder and it's a controversial diagnosis because many believe its cause is childhood abuse. It has also been blamed on genetics and even on the psychiatrists or hypnotists who are attempting to determine its origin. While demonic possession is not on the list of causes, religious beliefs are and that's where the beliefs in demons and possession have their roots.
Friedkin admits to being closer to Christianity than the Jewish faith he was born in, but neither have an answer to questions about possessions and exorcisms.
"People can have faith or belief, but we know nothing. Not the Pope, not Bertrand Russell, or the greatest thinkers really know the answers to these questions."
Does that make "The Exorcist" even scarier?
