The Cain Archives is the repository for historical records of the Mississippi Conference, United Methodist Church, and its antecedent groups. The conference was established in 1813 as the Mississippi Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, following Tobias Gibson's appointment from South Carolina to the Natchez Territory in 1799.
We also welcome you to schedule a visit to enjoy the many manuscripts, photographs and memorabilia available in the collections.
Housed in the Millsaps-Wilson Library of Millsaps College, Jackson, Mississippi, the J.B. Cain Archives Collection is named for Rev. J.B. Cain, long-time historian of the Mississippi Conference of the United Methodist Church. The collection is operated in conjunction with the Millsaps College Archives and is funded jointly by the Mississippi Conference of the United Methodist Church and Millsaps College, an institution of the United Methodist Church.
Millsaps College has been a depository for Mississippi Methodist historical material ever since the establishment of the Mississippi Conference Historical Society in 1898. The Society was organized under the direction of Bishop C.B. Galloway for the purpose of "gathering and preserving by printing or otherwise writings, prints, papers and books pertaining to the history of the Methodist Church in Mississippi or elsewhere." Although each Conference was to have its own semi-official or official Historical Society, Millsaps became the depository for both Mississippi and North Mississippi Conferences, and the successor Mississippi Conference combining the two. The Archives were established in 1982 and dedicated to J.B. Cain, their curator for over fifty years.
The J.B. Cain Archives comprise books and printed material relating to Mississippi Methodism, Church registers and records (1829-1996), a Manuscript Collection (1789 to present), the records of both Conferences' Historical Societies (1898-1977) and Commissions on Archives and History (1968-present), and the archives of the United Methodist Women (1954-2000).
The books have been cataloged in the general catalog of the Library. They cover general history of Methodism, history of the Mississippi Conference and its antecedent conferences, history of other conferences, local Church histories and biographies. The Methodist publications include Conference Journals, the New Orleans Christian Advocate and the Mississippi Methodist Advocate.
Each series is processed and inventoried. A general index (index box) and inventory notebook will facilitate research.
The Archives are open to the public from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Monday through Friday during the regular sessions of the College.
The library provides reference service during those hours and personal visits are encouraged for the most effective research. The manuscript collections may be used only under the supervision of the College Archivist. Some private papers are available to the public only with specific, written permission of the author or his estate. Some faculty, student and clergy records remain confidential. Simple requests for information received by mail will receive prompt attention. Inventories and indexes for the collections have been, or are being prepared.
The purpose of the J.B. Cain Archives of Mississippi Methodism is to collect, organize, maintain and promote the use of records and artifacts of importance to the history of the Mississippi Conference of the United Methodist Church and its antecedents. The goal of the Archives is to continue the work of Rev. J.B. Cain, longtime church historian and archivist for the Mississippi Conference, who collected the historical material which serves as the nucleus of the Archives. In 1982 the archives was dedicated to Rev. Cain's honor when the current joint organizational arrangement was adopted.
The J.B. Cain Archives is operated in conjunction with the Millsaps College Archives within the organization of the Millsaps-Wilson Library. The College Archivist serves as a member of the library staff and library staff assists in the collecting and processing of materials, as well as use of the joint archives resource. The Mississippi Commission on Archives and History, an arm of the Mississippi Conference, UMC, serves as advisory body to the College Archivist.
The J.B. Cain Archives is dedicated to promoting the effective use of its holdings to promote general knowledge of the the history of Methodism and to the broader education and knowledge which its resources may support.
The staff of the J.B. Cain Archives and the Millsaps-Wilson Library are happy to assist genealogists in their quest for information regarding ancestors; however, we are unable to perform extensive searches for searchers. Rather, we are happy to make available our resources for those who are able to search records for themselves. It should be noted that genealogy is not a priority mission for the J.B. Cain Archives and the collection is not built for this purpose. Nevertheless, some holdings are particularly useful in genealogical searches: a careful study of collections and finding aids noted on this web site may be useful in determining whether this archive will be beneficial to your work.
Genealogists are welcome to use the collections in the Archives during regular hours, and the College Archivist will assist. Prior arrangements are strongly encouraged, due to schedule variations.
For a fee of $20 per name, the College Archivist will conduct a general search of basic resources in the collection and advise on the likelihood of further information, providing photocopies when appropriate and possible. Requests of this nature may be by U.S. Mail, using a Genealogy Request Form (below).
Primary resources may be used under the supervision of the College Archivist during regular hours.
We are unable to perform extended genealogical searches.
We are unable to extend primary resource services beyond regular hours, but the use of secondary materials may be arranged after meeting with the College Archivist.
The J.B. Cain Archives holds many records of the United Methodist Church in Mississippi, including general material and in some cases information about specific churches; however, in the Methodist Church active churches hold their own records. Records of discontinued churches are transferred to the Archives by the District Superintendent's Office.
The Archives does not normally have cemetery records.
To purchase these materials, make check payable to Mississippi Methodist Historical Society.
These books and pamphlets are available to visitors at the J.B. Cain Archives in the Millsaps-Wilson Library, 1701 North State Street, Jackson, MS.
The information for the basic histories of Methodism in Mississippi has come from the annual Journal of the Mississippi Conference and its antecedents and from correspondence and diaries of prominent Methodist ministers. Most of these are indexed.

Memoirs are obituaries published in the Annual Conference Journals the year following the death of a clergy member of Conference or his/her spouse. Memoirs are written by a fellow minister or family member and contain information concerning the minister's service to the denomination, church appointments, and some family information.
If no Memoir is published, it is possible the minister transferred out of the Mississippi Conference or its antecedent prior to his death. If he was not a member of the annual conference, but served as a Local Preacher, no memoir is published in the Journal, although an obituary may have been submitted to the Methodist Advocate.

In the midst of death, we are in life: the Cementerio de la Recoleta in Buenos Aires
March 29, 2015 March 30, 2015 / travelneville	/ Leave a comment
ɪɡˈz(j)uːb(ə)r(ə)nt,ɛɡ-/
adjective: exuberant
full of energy, excitement, and cheerfulness.
Can a place of burial ever be full of energy and excitement? I think the answer is yes, but only if it's in Buenos Aires.
Cemeteries tell you a lot about a city. The Glasgow Necropolis, standing high and proud on a hill, is testament to the sheer confidence and economic clout of Scotland's biggest city in the Victorian age, when it was the second city of the British Empire and the world capital of shipbuilding. The Art Deco gravestones at Vyšehrad in Prague tell you all you need to know about the optimism and sophistication of interwar Czechoslovakia. Père Lachaise's roll call of artistic greats – among them Sarah Bernhardt and Colette, Jim Morrison and Oscar Wilde – speaks eloquently of how Paris was once the world capital of intellectual and creative endeavour.
But for sheer architectural swagger, none of these can touch the Recoleta cemetery in Argentina's capital.
Laid out in the garden of a defunct convent in the early nineteenth century, Recoleta is strikingly urban; though it is in Buenos Aires' most elegant neighbourhood this is no leafy garden of repose, but rather a compact précis of the city's architectural ambition.
That ambition was grounded in firm economic foundations. Of late, the headlines would have you believe Argentina's economy is a tale of pitiful diminuendo, though it only takes a short visit to Buenos Aires to realise the quality of life is rather sweeter than the headlines imply.
But from the late nineteenth century until well into the twentieth Argentina was one of the world's tiger economies, as beef and grain powered what had been a backwater of the Spanish colonial empire into one of the world's richest nations. With wealth came sophistication, but a New World, hothouse sophistication which drew on the European traditions of Argentina's immigrant-based society to create one of the world's great cities. To walk the streets of Buenos Aires' Microcentro is to rediscover Paris in the southern hemisphere, though it's a Paris in which the buildings are taller, the domes more exaggerated, the sheer accumulation of architectural ornament that bit more luxuriant.
As with the city, so it is with the cemetery. Recoleta is an open-air exhibition of European funereal fashion, but with the volume turned up. Alongside Victorian Sentimental there is Gothic Revival of cathedral-like ambition, Beaux Arts, voluptuous Art Nouveau, Art Deco and even a hint of mid-century modernism. The overall impression is not so much one of mourning as of an affluent elite expressing the confidence of its class and nation.
Every great cemetery needs its icon. Recoleta has Eva Peron.
Located on a side avenue, the Duarte family tomb is elegant enough but by no means the most ostentatious in La Recoleta. Threaded with flowers and with small devotional plaques from keepers of the Peronist flame, it is the cemetery's major tourist attraction. Evita's route to her final resting place was famously macabre and tortuous. Her corpse disappeared for several years after her death, resurfacing under a false name in Milan and later accompanying her husband's exile in Spain before finally being returned to her native Argentina in 1974. Even then, it was a further two years before she was interred in the Duarte vault.
Though in life they might have bridled at the thought, in death the cream of Argentinian society are buried alongside the woman once regarded as an upstart by the nation's elite. They're a disparate bunch, from admirals and patriots to actors and academics, and among the illustrious families there's quite a scattering of Anglophone names – here a Campbell, there a Davison. What seems for the visitor to unite them post mortem is a shared commitment to sculptural and architectural display. And in the midst of death, there's something really rather life-affirming about that.

They couldn't be Moore close-knit! Julianne and mini-me daughter Liv go arm-in-arm with Bart Freundlich on Big Apple stroll
She may be nine years older than her handsome director husband, but The Kids Are All Right actress Julianne Moore and Bart Freundlich's marriage is one of the strongest in the business.
The loving couple were spotted with daughter Liv, who is looking more like the star every day, in the West Village area of New York on Saturday.
The doting parents both held their eleven year old's hands as they walked through the city.
Sunshine in the city: Julianne Moore, 52, and her husband Bart Freundlich, 43, took their 11-year-old daughter Liv out in the New York sunshine on Saturday
Julianne, 52, wore a black overcoat over blue jeans, with some sheepskin lined boots. She shielded her eyes from the spring sunlight with some oversized shades
Her husband, Bart, 43, was sporting an understated chic look, teaming brown jeans with a green jacket over a grey T-shirt and black puffer jacket. He completed the look with some trendy trainers.

Liv, 11, wore leggings with some fashionable high heeled trainers, keeping warm with a navy puffer jacket, and shielded her eyes with gold rimmed shades. She accessorised with a large watch and green earrings.
Baby it's cold outside: The trio wrapped up warm against the chill of the New York air
Julianne, who starred in cult movies The Big Lebowski and Boogie Nights, met Bart in 1996 when he directed her in The Myth of Fingerprints.
Bart was 26 and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle star was 35. They quickly fell in love and their son Caleb was born the following year.
Julianne has said: 'We have a very solid family life, and it is the most satisfying thing I have ever done.'
Julianne recently opened up to InStyle on how she keeps her second marriage sexy: 'I think you need to be away from your children,' she said.
Natural beauty: The 52-year-old's trademark red hair blew in the wind as she made her way through the West Village with her husband and daughter
'Doing the mommy stuff does sort of squash that area of your life.' The award winning actress added: 'I can feel [sexy] when I'm alone with Bart or when we take a trip.'
But the Boogie Nights star says that the only reason she got married was for her children: 'I had a therapist who said marriage is really a container for a family, and that made sense to me,' she explained.
Her first marriage to actor John Gould Rubin at age 22 lasted 10 years but she hinted to The Daily Mail that her work caused the split: 'I spent a lot of my twenties concentrating on my profession and neglecting my personal life.
'You reach a point where you say to yourself, "Wait a minute, I want a life".'
Solid couple: The pair, pictured here at New York Fashion Week last month, met in 1996 and had their first baby, Caleb, a year later
Today, Julianne works harder to maintain that work-life balance and make time for her husband and kids.
'I wouldn't call it a struggle. I wouldn't say that it was easy,' she said. 'I think it's what anybody I know who has a family and a career deals with. It's a challenging balance.'
The actress is set to star as Carrie's mother, Margaret White, in the much anticipated reboot of the 1976 horror movie later this year.

Kings Walk Shopping Centre is a single-storey indoor shopping centre in Gloucester, England. Built between 1969 and 1972, it is part of the Kings Quarter development that includes an outdoor pedestrianised area.

Beneath a trapdoor in the centre is the Kings Walk Bastion, the remains of a 1,900 year old Roman city wall and tower.

History

Before it became a shopping centre, it was called Kings Street. This was primarily an industrial area and included a factory, which was built in 1873, for the printer John Bellows. This area was gradually commercialised with a lot of rebuilding done after the first world war between the 1920s and the 1930s. The north part of Kings Street was demolished in the 1920s when Kings Square was built. One of the largest commercial developments took place between 1927 and 1929 and involved the creation of The Oxbode and Kings Square. It also involved the demolition of the many buildings in St Aldate Street, Kings Street and New Inn Lane, making room for new commercial buildings. Kings Square was enlarged in the 1960s and the space was made for the Kings Walk Shopping Centre to be developed. In a large redevelopment of central Gloucester between 1969 and 1972 which involved Kings Street, Kings Square, Dog Lane and Clarence Street, shops were built on both sides of Kings Street and it was covered becoming pedestrianised indoor area called Kings Walk. Eastgate House, an Adamish stone fronted building, was demolished when the shopping centre was developed. A rooftop car park was built over the shopping centre. A pedestrian footbridge on the second floor spanned over Eastgate Street to link the Eastgate Shopping Centre and Kings Walk however, this has now been closed off.

In June 2016, the investment firm Vixcroft made a bid to buy the shopping centre from Aviva Investors, who have owned the shopping centre since 1969, for £25 Million. However, due to a clause in the contract regarding Brexit the deal fell through. In July 2017, Reef Estates approached Aviva Investments and successfully completed a deal to buy the shopping centre.

In March 2018, it was announced that £12 million would be invested to reface the shopping centre and remodel shopfronts in Kings Square and Eastgate Street. The work is planned to be completed by 2020.

Kings Walk Bastion

The Kings Walk Bastion is a 1,900 year old Roman city wall and tower, located beneath a trapdoor in the Kings Walk Shopping Centre. The earliest part of the bastion is thought to be a Roman fortress built around 60AD. Originally the bastion consisted of a sand and clay rampart with a wooden tower and a defensive ditch. At the end of the first century, the fortress was decommissioned so a new city could be built. This was intended to be a Roman Colonia. Stone parts of the bastion were built in the 3rd and 4th centuries, from Cotswold limestone. This wall was approximately five metres high and three metres wide and made part of the wall that surrounded the whole city at the time. The fourth century sections of the wall consist of massive blocks of stone with small rectangular holes on the inside where scaffolding would have been set. A semi-circular tower was added in the thirteenth century on the outside of the wall.

Archaeologists began investigations in Kings Square in 1934, where they found the corner of a Roman city wall and remains of a medieval tower 2 to 3 metres underground. The site under Kings Street and Kings Square was fully excavated by archaeologists between May and June 1969 before the redevelopment of Kings Street. In 1975, the site was opened to the public however it had to be closed in the mid-1990s due to underground flooding. In 2016, the Gloucester city council restored electricity to the site, installed a pump and lighting. Then on the 8 September 2016 the site was reopened to the public. It is thought that the remains of a Postern Gate are also located under Kings Walk but the exact location of the gate is still unknown.

I was at the book launch of The Hizbullah Phenomenon: Politics and Communication written by Lina Khatib, Dina Matar and Atef Alshaer.
After I had asked my question Dina Matar said "I knew you were going to ask that" and Lina Khatib waved the book at me and said "Why don't you read it?"
The book explains how Hizbullah has been successful in staying relevant since its 1982 inception by adapting itself to changing situations and communicating these adaptations through various means such as poetry and social media.
Hizbullah are poets? Who knew.
One can imagine: "To kill a Jew, or not to kill a Jew. That is the question."
So, according to the authors, Hizbullah's 1980s narrative was one of "victimisation" to attract Lebanon's marginalised Shia Muslims.
During the 1990s it was one of "resistance" against Israel and connection with "Palestine".
From 2000 onwards it was focused on "defence" after Israel had left south Lebanon with Hizbullah disseminating the narrative that the Lebanese army is not strong enough to defend Lebanon from Israel.
Now Hizbullah is back to a "victimisation" theme after being implicated in the murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri and others by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and also due to its fighting alongside Bashar Assad in Syria.
Dina Matar said that although Hasan Nasrallah has lost some credibility because of Syria he is still popular, and people in the Arab world listen out for his speeches.
She said there's a sense that Nasrallah is "just like us, he's approachable, he speaks the language of the people, he's funny, he jokes and he's humble in appearance".
If this is true then it is a sad indictment on the Arab world that with Hasan Nasrallah complicit in the deaths of over 200,000 innocent Syrians he is still thought so highly of.
I wasn't trying to be controversial when I asked whether this is a pro-Hizbullah book. I was concerned by this comment by Lina Khatib at the beginning of her presentation on the book to the large student audience:
"Books on Hizbullah seek to frame Hizbullah as a terrorist movement. This is primordial. We have evidence to the contrary. But this is the dominant discourse in America."
Khatib lives in America. One might forgive Americans for thinking such a thing with the murder of 241 of their fellow citizens by Hizbullah in Beirut in 1983.
And what about the 200,000 dead in Syria and Hizbullah's attacks on the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aeries in 1992 (29 dead) and on the AMIA builing in Buenos Aeries in 1994 (85 dead), the Burghas Airport bombing in Bulgaria in 2012 (6 dead) and Hasan Nasrallah, true to his word of going after Jews worldwide, is now targeting Jews in Peru.
This book is worth reading (if you can stomach the 30 page chapter on Hizbullah poetry) but only with a view to finding out how a modern day Nazi group, totally funded by Iran, portraying itself as a positive force continues to hold a beautiful country like Lebanon to ransom while bringing death and destruction both to Lebanon's citizens and to Syria all with the final objective of destroying Israel and the Jewish people that live there.

Palestinians destroy children's summer camp, Israel to blame.
John Ging is 2nd from right (ph: thejeruselamfund)
Exactly three years ago Hamas' violent ousting of Fatah from Gaza left the terrorist group a free hand to create an Islamist entity where no dissent is allowed.
As Sarah Honig has noted the anniversary came and went with scant critical appraisal anywhere.
"Nobody demands even a modicum of good behaviour from it (Hamas). Hamastan gets such pampering press that it seemingly cannot set a foot wrong," she writes.
The latest expression of this involved the recent destruction of a United Nations children's summer camp in Gaza, which was attacked by two dozen masked Palestinian armed men. This is the second such attack in just over a month.
Islamist Palestinians in Gaza accused the United Nations of corrupting Gaza's youth with its summer programme of games, sports and human rights lessons for 250,000 children.
Hamas would prefer the children to attend their own "summer camps" with their sinister military training side.
John Ging, the director of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency in Gaza, came out with an implausible statement. (UNRWA is responsible for 70% of Gaza's 1.5 million population).
While going through the motions of condemning the attack Ging went on to cite it as further evidence of growing levels of extremism in Gaza and called for a change in the circumstances on the ground that generate such extremism.
What he meant is that Israel has caused Hamas et al to act like this because of its blockade of Gaza. Ging has repeatedly called for the blockade's complete lifting, which would inevitably lead to a further rocket onslaught on Israel.
Time after time we have seen influential people like Ging allow Hamas to get away with brutality.
It seems that there is nothing that Hamas or the Palestinian community are forced to take responsibility for whether it be voting for a terrorist group like Hamas in the first place (it was said that the Palestinian people had no choice due to the corruption of the incumbent Fatah regime), suicide bombings (according to many, including Ken Livingstone, there wouldn't be suicide bombings if it wasn't for the occupation), firing thousands of rockets into Israel (the defence to this being the rockets are ineffective and haven't killed that many Israelis) and now repeatedly destroying another children's summer camp (but if the blockade was lifted this might not happen, apparently).
The list of excuses reeled off for the Palestinians is exceedingly long.
It does the Palestinian people no credit in implying that such acts of barbarism are all just a reaction to anything Israel does. Suicide bombings, firing rockets into civilians areas in Israel and destroying children's summer camps are wrong and should be condemned outright instead of letting the Palestinians repeatedly off the hook.
Ging and Livingstone etc. cannot, or do not want to, grasp the true nature of Hamas. What Hamas does is not because of the occupation or the settlements or the blockade. They would commit such barbaric acts if such situations did not exist. That is the nature of an Islamist group.
Hamas answers to a higher power alone.
Even the brutal Hamas takoever of Gaza and the accompanying massacres of Fatah activists were blamed on Israel and America.
According to B'Tselem 660 Palestinians have been murdered by Palestinians in the last ten years. No doubt these atrocities are also pinned on Israel.
At least in Beirut Palestinians are taking responsibilty for their actions and doing something they are not allowed to do under Hamas' rule; protest against their rulers.
On Sunday outside the United Nations building in the Lebanese capital some 6,000 Palestinians demanded basic civil rights 62 years after they first arrived in Lebanon.
The 400,000 Palestinians that live in Lebanon are not allowed to own property and are excluded from 72 different forms of employment.
It is ironic that while there are more flotillas destined for Gaza to try to alleviate a non-existent humanitarian crisis, Palestinians living in Lebanon in dire conditions are virtually forgotten by the international community, including the flotilla activists.

Fisk/Hari
Posted on March 15, 2010 | 34 comments
It was a good old Independent doubly-whammy to nicely finish off International Israel Apartheid Week.
Last Friday (12 March) Johann Hari had a piece Palestinians should now declare their independence.
On Saturday (13 March) Fisk recommended books to help you understand the Middle East.
Fisk recommends and quotes from George Antonius's The Arab Awakening:
"The cure for the eviction of Jews from Germany is not to be sought in the eviction of the Arabs from their homeland …"
Fisk sees this as "the first truly eloquent warning of what was to come".
He didn't recommend Benny Morris' The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem but he mentioned it in passing:
"Benny Morris was the most prominent Israeli researcher to prove that it was indeed Israel's intention to evict the Palestinians from their homes in their tens of thousands in 1948 – the fact that Morris has since gone completely batty by claiming the Israelis didn't ethnically cleanse enough of them does not detract from his seminal work."
But Morris did not prove any such intention!
Morris, for starters, quotes Ze'ev Jabotinsky, leader of a right-wing Zionist movement, who said in 1931: "We don't want to evict even one Arab from the left or right banks of the Jordan. We want them to prosper economically and culturally."
If anything it was the 1937 Peel Commission, which was under the auspices of the British government, that first recommended transfer of the Arab population out of areas earmarked for the Jewish population on partition.
Morris' view is that there was no specific Zionist policy of transfer although there had been unofficial "transfer thinking" that preceded the war. But it was only once the Arabs rejected the 1947 UN partition resolution, civil war between the Palestinian Jews and Palestinian Arabs and then the full-scale Arab invasion of Israel ensued that "Jewish hearts hardened towards the Palestinian Arabs who were seen as mortal enemies, and should they be coopted into a Jewish state, a potential Fifth Column".
To be fair to Fisk has lived in the heart of Beirut for 30 years and so he is highly biased out of necessity.
Johann Hari does not live in the heart of Beirut and so has no such excuse for his bias (or is it just ignorance?).
Johann Hari
Hari suggests the Palestinians should declare their own state forthwith to concentrate the minds of the West and he narrates his own version of the Arab/Israeli wars including, like Fisk, that of 1948:
"Until 1948, the Palestinians were living in their own homes, on their own land – until they were suddenly driven out in a war to make way for a new state for people fleeing a monstrous European genocide."
Again there is no mention of the total Arab rejection of UN partition resolution 181, the consequent civil war started by the Palestinian Arabs against the Jews and the Arab invasion after Israel declared independence on 14 May 1948.
For Hari one side is evil while the other side is totally innocent. He continues this theme throughout the piece.
He quotes Golda Meirs' "there are no Palestinians". Well to Meir there were no Palestinians 40 years ago just like there were no Palestinians as such to the Jews that came to Palestine 100 years ago because they did not view the Arabs living there as a nation. But that doesn't mean to say there is no Palestinian nation now. There is and one deserving of a country.
But it is a common anti-Israel tactic to take an ancient quote of an Israeli or Jewish leader and put it in today's context to make the speaker look evil.
Hari also writes of "some heroic Israelis who argue back", so painting the rest of Israel's citizens as weak, ignorant and cowardly.
But Hari thinks he has found the answer to why there are so few "heroic Israelis":
"It may be that surviving the most horrific atrocities doesn't make you compassionate, but more often makes you hard, and paranoid. It may make you see the ghost of your murderer even in your victims: Adolf Hitler in a Gazan child."
For Hari Jews are still so obsessed by the gas chambers that every one of us, apart from his "heroes", has turned into our own self-contained irrational killing machine.
Not for Hari do Israelis fight back against thousands of deadly Kassam rockets fired by Hamas from Gaza towards Israel's southern towns or against Katyushas hitting nothern Israel from Hezbollah bases in southern Lebanon.
And Hari thinks that Hamas, "the ugly fundamentalist group", tacitly accepts a two-state solution but how ignorant can one be.
Accepting a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza, as Hamas does, is not the same as accepting the existence of Israel.
But Hari has fallen for Hamas' rhetoric hook, line and sinker.
Hari finishes off urging the Palestinians:
"They should declare independence. Then it is up to us – the watching billions – to pressure our governments to make it real, rather than a howl in the dark."
Hari doesn't understand that Palestinian society is in no state to declare independence. While building consruction is swiftly taking place in West Bank towns the hatred that persists between Hamas and Fatah will mean that civil war, bloodshed and revenge killings would not be far away.
Hari hasn't thought the consequence of his logic through but, then again, for Israel's haters the demonisation of Israel and Israelis far outweighs any concern they really have for the Palestinian people.

For years, women were denied the right to box in the Olympics on the grounds that pre-menstrual tension made us all "unstable".
But this year, ladies, we can compete in the 2012 Olympics and have the same right as men to willingly open ourselves up to brain injury, pulverised noses and black eyes: hooray for equality!
Personally, I'd have to be suffering from PMT 365 days of the year to even contemplate getting into a ring and punching the bejasus out of an opponent.
And the opponent would have to be someone who I felt had properly wronged me: a snippy shop assistant, maybe, or someone who cut me up on a roundabout without raising a hand to say sorry.
I'd have thought that PMT would be an absolute bonus when you're in a boxing ring, offering you the opportunity to channel all those "why is everyone getting at me? Why is life SO UNFAIR? Why is everything so totally and utterly WORTHLESS?" feelings into a series of mindlessly violent lobs and lunges.
In fact, the only issues I can see being a problem are making sure your boxing matches are carefully timed to happen at the right moment during a 28-day window.
Only a few decades ago, women were banned from taking part in marathons because the powers-that-be thought their wombs would fall out (no, really) because "of constant jarring".
When it was proven that wombs didn't fall out – although I'm fairly sure that if I ran a marathon mine would, along with my liver, lungs, heart and toenails – women were given the green light to compete, although it took until 1984 until they could participate in the marathon at the Olympics.
In 1896, Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympics, described the concept of women participating in the games as: "impractical, uninteresting, ungainly and improper" (I wonder if he had access to a time machine and had watched me taking part in PE lessons at school).
In the true spirit of the Olympics, I will be honouring Coubertin by not even watching the games in case it makes me ungainly or improper. It's what he would have wanted.


Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question.
You have to answer them instantly.
You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately. OK?
Let's find out just how clever you really are.
You overtake the second person.
then you are absolutely wrong!
you take his place, you are second!
don't take as much time as you took for the first question.
then you are wrong again.
You're not very good at this!
Now add 30. Add another 1000.
Today is definitely not your day.
Maybe you will get the last question right?
1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono.
There is a mute person who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
got the answer…… ……… ….
I'm not an air force pilot.
If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal. It's been said that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are expected to go for at least 2 minutes.
(or forward it to someone you want to frustrate)!!
Don't get frustrated – and don't spend all day trying to beat the 18 seconds – most of you are suppose to be working – only retired people can keep trying all day.
This is bizarre – after you find the guy – it's so obvious.
After you find the man in the beans forward the e-mail to your brainy friends.

Child discipline referendum will not give clarity
Press Release: Caritas Aotearoa
Caritas says child discipline referendum will not provide clarity.
Catholic social justice agency Caritas says the upcoming referendum on child discipline will not provide clarity on the issue. "Funding for the referendum could have been better used on family education," says Director Mike Smith.
Caritas supports the 2007 amendment that was eventually made to Section 59 of the Crimes Act, and wishes to see the legal status quo maintained, regardless of the referendum outcome.
The debate leading up to the law change was always about balancing child protection and family subsidiarity – the ability of families to make decisions for themselves without undue government interference.
"Caritas submitted in 2006 that Catholic social teaching required that both be taken into account. In our opinion, that meant giving greater protection for children, and also defining the threshold for prosecution," says Mr Smith.
"The final wording of the amendment regarding police discretion not to prosecute for 'inconsequential' acts met our concerns. It was also in line with the New Zealand Catholic Bishops Conference 2007 statement on the issue: Children are precious gifts, which also sought a solution between polarised extremes of the debate at that time."
Mr Smith says the upcoming referendum will not provide clarity on the question of child discipline, because it is possible to support the 2007 amendment while voting either Yes or No to the referendum question: Should a smack as part of good parental correction be a criminal offence in New Zealand?
However, Caritas recognises that in the political context of the referendum, a 'Yes' vote is seen to be a vote for the status quo, while a 'No' vote is seen to be a vote against the 2007 amendment.
"In this context, we recommend a 'Yes' vote, as we believe the status quo is close to the position that we recommended to the Select Committee. However, the wording of the question is so ambiguous, many New Zealanders who support efforts to reduce violence against children, may in good conscience still feel obliged to vote 'No'. It will be hard to understand what the outcome of the referendum may mean," says Mr Smith.
He says Caritas will be writing to the Prime Minister and other relevant politicians, expressing concern that the ambiguous nature of the question will result in an outcome that cannot be understood as either supporting or opposing the 2007 amendment.
"We will make it clear that, whatever the outcome of the referendum, we support the 2007 amendment to the Crimes Act. This was the best compromise able to be found at the time which increased child protection, while also taking into account the subsidiarity of families and preventing unnecessary prosecutions."
Mr Smith says protecting children from physical violence requires action in many other areas, including parental education on alternatives to physical punishment. "In the best interests of families, we would like to see parents able to increase their knowledge of options they have to control their children's behaviour. That's where funds could have been better used."
Caritas Aotearoa New Zealand is a member of Caritas Internationalis, a confederation of 164 Catholic aid, development and social justice agencies active in over 200 countries and territories.

The Marcus Bonna Single Clarinet Case is a perfect case for transporting your clarinets without having any pressure on the instrument's keys. It begins with a fiberglass shell and comes standard covered in nylon or can be ordered in leather for an additional charge. One removable shoulder strap comes included with the case.
The story of Marcus Bonna Cases begins in São Paulo, Brazil in 1990. Marcus Bonna, a horn player in the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra since 1982, suffered an accident and injured his back. Most of the cases for instruments at that time were bulky and heavy and so he developed a case for himself that was lighter and more compact while still offering a high degree of protection. His colleagues noticed his case and asked for cases as well, and so the MB-1 Horn Case was born.
The Munich Philharmonic Orchestra was playing in São Paulo in 1991 and their horn players were very impressed by Marcus' cases and asked where they could get one. In order to be able to facilitate these requests, he formed Marcus Bonna Cases. Today The company has 45 employees and sends around 480 cases per month all around the globe. All cases are handmade with painstaking attention to detail. Marcus Bonna cases fit a wide variety of instruments and are made to last a lifetime.
Other colors are available by special order (see specifications tab) and there will be an upcharge for any leather case. Contact us to place orders for these items.


Hello friends! Leigh here, to share a new letter size layout that is simple to recreate. I used a tag shape three times on the layout, and also used the brand new Watercolor Markers from the Color Kaleidoscope Collection.
I love the 8.5x11 letter size, since it has an editorial feel. I have always loved creating this size layout, and thought I would throw it back to a simple layout I made years ago. The new Watercolor Markers are amazing!! They are so saturated that you only need one drop to make the watercolor on this page.
To start, I added one drop of each color from the Watercolor Marker, to an acrylic block. Then, I added more water from the Vicki Boutin Water Brushes, and splattered it on the page. I let each color dry before starting the next color. Use a heat tool to speed up the process. I stamped the title with the brand new Color Kaleidoscope Stamp Set, after all the watercolor layers were dry.
Two patterned paper tags, and one photo tag were added to the left side of the page. Layer your embellishments from the Color Kaleidoscope Sticker Book, and Die Cuts pack. The journaling die cut made for a quick and easy way to add my hand-written journaling to the layout.If you look closely, you can see the smallest flower from the new Stamp Set, was stamped near the magenta watercolor splatters. I added the stickers to a piece of white copy paper and trimmed around them so they could stand up off the page.
Add the floral Die Cuts down the left side to soften the straight lines of the tags. I love all the pretty die cuts in this collection, and you get 50 in each pack! I added some die cuts underneath and some over the tags. The tags all have the black and white pattern from the Color Kaleidoscope Collection punched as the hole reinforcer.
Close-up, you can see the dip-dye effect I created on the tag bows by using the Watercolor Markers. I colored the very end straight from the marker, then added water with Vicki's Water Brushes to soften the color as I went up . The new Watercolor Markers are amazing! What ideas do you have for using them?


From corny horror to convoluted swear words. This guy's career is seriously something to marvel at. Welcome to WatchMojo UK and today we're counting down our picks for the Top 10 Peter Capaldi performances.
For this list, we're looking at the acting highlights of Scottish writer, director and actor Peter Capaldi.
We start with one of the most famous faces on this list, and an example of Capaldi's early character acting. Okay, so the film as a whole was a bit pants, but there are some redeeming qualities, one of which is Capaldi's take on Harrison. He's got the hair and the accent to suit, but it's Capaldi's ability to portray the increasingly frustrating and toxic atmosphere within the band that really sells it. Plus, Capaldi as a Beatle? Yes please.
Sketch shows. It seems any Brit who has gone on to do anything remotely comedy-related has been in one at some point, and Peter is no different. Appearing alongside Alexei Sayle for a series of different sketches, it's a great example of Capaldi's ability to tackle absurd topics, and be hilarious while doing so. And it's his drunk dabble in time travel that he has become best known for in the show. Now, where have we seen that before?
Good, evil, snakes, vampires and lots of really weird stuff in between. That pretty much sums up "The Lair of the White Worm". In this hilarious horror, cheese is turned up to 11 and we're along for the ride with Capaldi's Angus Flint to try and make sense of some strange gothic goings on - oh, and Hugh Grant's in it as well. An early effort that shows our man knows how to toe the line between drama and comedy, it's probably a performance he'd rather forget, but we love it all the same.
Dropping his Scottish tones for cockney, Capaldi plays Paddington's grumpy neighbour Mr. Curry in this live-action adaptation. Ultimately manipulated by Nicole Kidman's taxidermist baddie Millicent Clyde and helping to capture Paddington, he's pitched early on as a villainous accomplice. However, Capaldi helps show us that maybe Mr. Curry isn't as bad as he seems, and that under his irritable shell lies a softer, caring man. We'd have Curry as our neighbour any day.
Although it may look a little dated now, "Local Hero" offers an incredibly compelling story about the oil industry and the integrity of one man in particular who is won over by the residents of a small Scottish village. Peter Riegert takes the leading role, but Capaldi gets a story arc of his own, as the young, slightly naive Danny, who becomes infatuated with Jenny Seagrove's Marina. It's one of his very first movie roles, and a real gem for any Capaldi fanatic.
After seeing Capaldi sport a magnificent mustache and play a machiavellian Cardinal, it's a wonder he doesn't always play the villain. Stealing the show in the first series of "The Musketeers", Capaldi plays the backstabber role brilliantly, interrogating and condemning anyone who gets in his way. Unfortunately, he didn't appear in the second series - but any screen time he did get, he absolutely bossed!
The word tragic doesn't quite cut it here. Acting as the government's middleman to an alien invasion that threatens the future of Earth's children, Capaldi's John Frobisher is forced to make the ultimate, soul-crushing decision. Unlike some dramatic performances that peak towards the end, Capaldi's turn as Frobisher is engrossing, and exhausting, from start to finish. He's convincing to the point where it's difficult to watch. John Frobisher was indeed a good man.
To another multi-layered performance and one that sees Capaldi's Head of BBC News Randall Brown go through a rollercoaster of emotions. When he's not trying to steer the ship with his professional hat on, he's trying to keep things together and find his daughter, doing anything necessary to do so - blackmail included. Capaldi nails the desperate parent role, with some heartbreaking scenes that see him completely fall apart, only to put on a brave face moments afterwards. Powerful stuff.
It's tough to play a character that is equally despicable and loveable, but Capaldi manages it gloriously as political spin doctor Malcolm Tucker. Always on hand to flatten potential media frenzies, and whoever gets in his way in the process, his insults and boiling rage almost poetic, well, sort of. Portraying the character in both "The Thick of It" TV series and later in a feature-length spin off "In the Loop", Capaldi is flawless as Tucker, popping veins and all.
Frequently touted as one of the top Time Lords to take the reins of the TARDIS, Capaldi managed to merge many of the qualities we'd come to love about previous incarnations. With his witty one liners, intelligible put downs and ability to keep his head in even the stickiest of situations, Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor oozes wise, war-torn traveller, and yet he's never afraid to be a bit childish. Capaldi's had some outstanding performances over the years, and with the Doctor now behind him, who knows what's next!


If there is one factor on this world I do know that I can never get sufficient of it's food. Preheat the oven to 200 levels C (390 degrees F) and line a baking sheet with greased foil. This beautiful roast salmon with chickpea dukkah recipe is a good way to feed a crowd, topped with a mixture of chickpeas, blended nuts and seeds for scrumptious texture.
Be aware, as a result of this sauce comprises soy, I'm not constructive that it could qualify as a gluten free dinner recipe. Cook dinner the salmon till opaque all through and golden brown, four to 5 minutes per side. Our Asian sticky salmon and our ginger and lemongrass salmon make for a slight more unusual dinner party deal with however are completely scrumptious.
There are a lot of forms of salmon in the market, wild caught, farmed, in different cuts. Versatile and simple for a midweek meal or weekend dish, our simple salmon recipes give prompt inspiration if you're in a rush – plus, they're full of wholesome nutrients for higher long-term well being.
A chef's trick is to leave the knife in the flesh for 20 seconds, take away and touch the knife tip to your lips; if it is cold then your salmon needs a little more cooking. Our Japanese-style salmon with noodle stir-fry , or our salmon teriyaki with soba noodles or our stir-fried salmon yakitori are only a taste of the thrilling new methods we have now for you to attempt with salmon.
I do hope you enjoy your grilled salmon and I will share more seafood recipes with you within the coming weeks and months. The high warmth and quick cooking helps to seal within the moisture particularly when you've the skin left on the salmon. Once more, bake the salmon within the oven on excessive heat for about 10 to 12 minutes or till completed, simply test to see if the center is cooked via.
