Decarbonising fashion is imperative. Here's why #36
The fashion industry currently contributes up to 10 per cent of global carbon emissions, and big brands can't pay the problem to go away.
When cult Danish fashion favourite Ganni teamed up with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals accelerator last year, the aim was to create a carbon neutral capsule collection. That meant founder Nicolaj Reffstrup conceiving a line of garments that either negated the use of carbon emissions or, even better, helping to simultaneously remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere during the production process.
That work continues today with Ganni Labs, a working group driving down impact across the whole business that's led to experimenting with the rental market and shifting half of the brand's materials to recycled, organic or certified, with a target of 100 per cent within a couple of seasons. Achieving carbon neutrality remains a top priority.
"There's no discussion. We need to get there, period. For me, behaving responsibly is a moral obligation. But it's also an insurance policy. If you can't create a carbon neutral collection or better than that in 10 years, then there's no business for you," Reffstrup says.
The fashion industry currently contributes up to 10 per cent of global carbon emissions, and the Global Fashion Agenda forecasts those emissions will increase by 50 per cent by 2030. It's why carbon is a common thread of the UN's Fashion Charter and the G7 Fashion Pact; the two major fashion coalitions aiming to drive change in the industry. Both are aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050. But challenges remain over how best to implement this and whether the fashion industry should be offsetting carbon via programmes like tree-planting or doing the tougher work of looking inward and reducing their own carbon emissions.
"Decarbonisation is the only option for survival," says Laila Petrie, joint chair of the United Nations Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action and CEO of environmental organisation 2050. A zero carbon economy is both a planetary and business imperative in the context of reducing global warming and averting the climate catastrophe, she says. "It's going to be vital to de-risk and to prepare your value chains and your customer for this altered reality where resources are limited and there's increasing effects felt from climate change."

nfining clothing and bending naturally, was slender and lithesome, but full of curves which told that the bud of childhood was just beginning to open into the blossom of early maturity--about fifteen or sixteen years old, Donald guessed her to be.
At her feet lay an overturned kettle the contents from which, a simple stew, was sending up a cloud of steam from the rough floor, and explained the reason for the misty eyes and tenderly nursed ankle.
The whole picture was graven on his mind in a single glance; but, the next instant the sunniest, most appealing of smiles broke through the girl's pain-drawn tears.
"Yo' ... yo' looked so funny a-fallin' over thet thar dawg, an' a-rollin' on the floor," her words bubbled forth.
Smiles is a beautiful and engaging love story. It will take you through a gamut of emotion but mostly in keeping you misty eyed and happy. There are a couple unlikely scenarios which made the story less "real" to me like who leaves their 4 year old alone on shore in the forest while going into a river on canoe and what are the odds of moving to a new city and finding out one of your new best friends is actually a long lost sibling to you. Smiles is Eliot H. Robinson most famous work, and rightly so. It would be nice to find his other works such as the follow-up to this "Smiling Pass: Being A Further Account Of The Career of "Smiles," A Rose of…" scanned to eBook.
Lovely story, especially the first several chapters. A bit too drawn out during the war years, but with a little surprise ending to make plowing through it worth your while.


The venting is not right. The most usual mistake is the use of typical B-vent, which can quickly damage the heat exchanger due to acidic condensation.
Inspect the gas supply line. In some cases the supply line is undersized and was just connected to the existing line size. The size specified in the installation handbook has to be used.
The gas pressure is not proper. The working pressure must be from 5 to 10 1/2 inches WC for Natural Gas and 9 1/2 to 14 inches for Liquid Propane, depending upon the design.
The wrong sort of gas that is being made use of – natural gas or liquid propane. It is not possible to make use of the non-specified kind.
Water flow or temperature level variation concerns. There are numerous things we will examine to make certain they are working appropriately, like cleaning or changing the input filter, examining the check valve, inspecting the seals in the faucets and looking to see if there is a cross flow somewhere that needs to be repaired.
Hard Water Problems: In locations where the water is really hard, de-scaling will be needed occasionally.
Environmental issues. The heaters should be set up in a clean location with access to combustion air that is free from dust, lint, grease, or chemicals.

We could not communicate and gather together for over 20 hours after the devastating earthquake hit Nepal on Saturday, April 25. Despite all the practical difficulties (electricity, Internet, water etc.) and powerful aftershocks, we were able to establish a situation room on Sunday morning. Soon we established contact with Nepal Redcross through its GIS officer. We also visited National Society of Earthquake Technology (NSET) and discussed how we can help the rescue work with OpenStreetMap and data.
Coordinate the mapping work being carried out by both local and remote mappers. We are getting amazing response. As of this writing in the evening of April 27, nearly 1500 people have taken part in mapping the earthquake-hit areas. See this: http://osm.townsendjennings.com/nepal/. We are in constant touch with Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and international mapping communities regarding where to target the mapping efforts and how best to utilize their help.
We have deployed a crowd-mapping platform to enable local people to report their observation about damages and request for needed help. Our FaceBook post on this has already reached over 18,000 people and we are beginning to see the reports coming. http://www.kathmandulivinglabs.org/earthquake.
We're also releasing a set of printable maps based on hourly extracts from Geofabrik. This will provide most updated map data to rescue and relief workers. The maps are available at: github.io/quake-maps. Offline map for mobile phones is also available at the same site for free download.
We are running OpenStreetMap clinic next to our situation room from tomorrow morning. The clinic will serve other map and GIS related services as well.
We are in touch with rescue and relief agencies on the ground. Our collective mapping effort will contribute better if they are coordinated. Please get in touch with us if you are already carrying (or are interested in) mapping work.
If you are rescue/relief worker and need any support on OpenStreetMap and related technologies, we will be happy to help.
These are all for now. We will update you as things evolve. Thanks for your contribution on mapping and helping Nepalese people in this difficult time!

Yugi's legendary Dark Magician gets a big boost in August's The Dark Illusion booster set for the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME. With the first half of 2016 celebrating the Blue-Eyes cards of Yugi's rival, Kaiba, the second half of the year follows suit by powering up Yugi's monsters like Dark Magician!
Yugi's strategy relies on his famous Spells and Traps, befitting the cunning and guile of a master magician. The Dark Illusion gives Spellcasters access to powerful cards like Magician Navigation, which Summons a Dark Magician from the hand and another DARK Spellcaster of your choice right from the Deck, then goes on to negate an enemy's Spell or Trap! There's also the Dark Magical Circle, the famous "ring" seen on many of Yugi's cards, now finally made into a Spell Card in its own right.

Daniel Cowart and Paul Schlesselman (and Jim Perren)
Update (April 16, 2010) : Arkansas man sentenced to 10 years for Obama plot, (AP). JACKSON, Tenn. — A white supremacist has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for conspiring to kill then-presidential candidate Barack Obama and dozens of other black people. U.S. District Judge J. Daniel Breen on Thursday sentenced 19-year-old Paul Schlesselman of Helena-West Helena, Ark. He had pleaded guilty in January. Twenty-one-year-old co-defendant, Daniel Cowart of Bells, Tenn., also pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing. Authorities have described the pair as white supremacist skinheads who hatched a plan to go on a cross-country robbery and killing spree that would end with an attack on Obama in 2008. Their plan was to kill 88 African-Americans and behead 14 others before trying to take out Obama. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist movement.
Daniel Cowart and Paul Schlesselman:
…planned to dress in all-white tuxedos and top hats and die in the attempt to shoot Senator Obama from the windows of a speeding car.
But authorities say while they had guns, the plot never got close to getting off the ground and they were probably too disorganised to carry it out.
Among their blunders: they drew attention to themselves by etching swastikas on a car with chalk, they knew each other only for a month, they couldn't pull off a house robbery, and a friend reported them to authorities.
Schlesselman's sister, Kayla, revealed yesterday she had spoken to her brother and he had expressed regret. She doubted the plot was serious.
"He said he's sorry about everything he's done," she said. "He just believes that he's the master race.
"He would just say things like 'white power' and 'Sieg Heil' and 'Heil Hilter'."
[And stuff like this:]
Why does this story bring to mind Jim Perren? Oh yeah: because he's got guns and is a neo-Nazi supporter of Dr. Jim Saleam's Australia First Party. Drop Jim a line at [email protected]
Officials said the two plotted to kill 88 people, decapitating 14 of them. Both 88 and 14 are numbers significant in bonehead culture.
Schlesselman's page on MySpace, the social networking site, displayed the phrase "i slap jigaboos" and included a photo of himself in blackface with the caption: "Me as a n – – – – -."
A spokeswoman for The Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization, said Schlesselman's site is typical of racist language found across the Internet.
"Most of that stuff that he spouted off is very common on racist Web sites," said Heidi Beirich of the Alabama-based group. "That stuff is all over the Web. It's sad to say there are so many racist MySpace pages that you can barely keep up with them."
Beirich said most people will never do more than post racist speech, but Schlesselman's gun video was cause for alarm.
"There are a lot of racists out there who will never act on their beliefs, but weaponry is a good start to capability," she said.
Stay proud brothers and sisters.

Kadet says:
Heh, Daniel Cowart looks like he'll last long in prison.
No… although that also depends on a range of other factors. Presumably — hopefully, for his sake — he'll be kept in protective custody of some sort. I doubt he understood that his shit-talking and Master Race phantasies might one day — say, in the run-up to a US Presidential election — be taken seriously.
"The men were arrested Wednesday [October 29] soon after writing numerous racially motivated words and drawing a swastika on their car, the ATF said."
A Gape says:
skinheads…sadly boneheads…most assuredly
Indeed. Today they got charged:
Suspects in plot to kill Obama plead not guilty
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Two white supremacists have pleaded not guilty in an alleged plot to kill President-elect Barack Obama and dozens of other black people.
Twenty-year-old Daniel Cowart of Tennessee and 18-year-old Paul Schlesselman of Arkansas spoke only to give their pleas Thursday morning in a Memphis courtroom.
They face federal charges of threatening a presidential candidate, possession of a sawed-off shotgun, planning to rob a gun dealer and taking firearms across state lines.
The seven-count indictment says the men hatched the plot for the killing spree sometime between Sept. 1 and Oct. 22. Court records indicate their scheme fell apart quickly.
Their arrests were made public Oct. 27 and they are being held without bond.
Richy says:
hahahahahaha – sucked in to these guys!!
Theyre worst nightmare is about to turn into a reality – getting raped by a black man!
good luck faggots!
Um… leaving aside the question of whether the pair deserve to be raped, by anyone, I don't imagine the Tennessee prison system to be much fun in any case.

The Olympic Games and the welfare state
Imagine a midnight flit from the Balkans to southern Russia, for the sake of a lucrative job on an Olympic building site that never pays anything at all. Unpaid wages, confiscation of passports, police abuses, lack of housing, extreme working hours, absence of contracts: these are only some of the allegations made by migrant construction workers in Sochi. Human Rights Watch claim evidence of seven hundred specific complaints. It is one of the scandals of these Olympics.
All this looks like globalization: migrant workers who lack employment rights building the facilities of a global jamboree. Sochi, presumably, is scarcely unique. One can find hints of similar things even in the Soviet Union in the run-up to the Moscow Olympic Games of 1980. But in the 1970s, there was also a different ideological element at play: not globalization, but welfarism.
Back then, of course, the economy was centrally planned. In 1978, 9,330 skilled workers were supposed to be sent to Moscow from the union republics, from places such as Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, to work on Olympic construction. Only half this number were on site by December of that year. Although managers seem to have been desperate for labour, they probably found unregulated ways of making up the shortfall, perhaps taking on chancers from outside the city limits, giving them the most miserable of company housing and not providing the residence documents that would have given them access to welfare. This was simply part of how industry worked. We have plenty of evidence that managers did this kind of thing in earlier periods of Soviet history, and they did so too in the 1970s on another blue riband construction project, the Baikal-Amur Railway (BAM) in the Far East.
In Estonia, where preparation was underway for the Olympic sailing regatta, the labour shortage was especially acute. In May 1978, the highest ranks of the Estonian Communist Party wrote to the Central Committee in Moscow with an appeal for the allocation of an extra 600 workers. They were given 200. Perhaps that was what they were aiming for: the correspondence has the spirit of a ritual bureaucratic negotiation. As negotiators, the Estonians appealed to the central authorities not on the basis that the country faced international disgrace if it failed to complete on time the new Olympic buildings, such as a hotel and a press centre. Instead, their trump card was to claim that permanent building workers would have to be diverted from constructing housing, kindergartens, schools and hospitals if sufficient migrant labour was not drafted in. Whether this was a winning negotiating card to play or not is unclear, but the Estonian party authorities certainly thought that it was. Of course, it was scarcely an expression of true belief. But it still suggests that, for them, welfare rather than international prestige was at the heart of how the Soviet Union understood itself.

The Bible used to justify slavery? What nonsense! Abe Lincoln, a Christian, was the leader who abolished slavery. The Bible was the first book he learned to read. And William Wilberforce, a Bible-reading convert to Christianity, was the one who led the abolishing of slavery in England.
Todd in DC
Read your history, and do try READING. The bible justifies slavery
Abolitionists also used the Bible to justify their position.
Danny Denton
The Bible never justifies slavery. Jesus did not come to correct every earthly wrong. He did not come to be an earthly king (John 6:15). He came to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to save mankind. The scriptures tell people who are enslaved to live a sacrificial life in order to convert their masters. The scriptures give direction to those who find themselves in a state of slavery. This does not equate to a justification of slavery.
Mr. Blake,
When Satan came to tempt Jesus, the main weapon he used was a twisted view of scripture. You have followed his lead. I will not argue the fact that Southerners used a twisted view of scripture to support slavery, but how in good conscience can you forget to mention that slavery was ended primarily because of the work of true Christians who had the correct view of scripture. Inspired by his devotion to God, William Wilberforce spearheaded the Abolition movement in England. After its success there, the movement spread to the United States. Ever wonder why South Carolina seceded even though Lincoln said he would not emancipate the slaves? It was because they had seen what had happened in Britain and they were afraid that it was about to happen here. Read the lyrics of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic". This song summarizes the spirit of the Christian Abolitionists and correctly prophesied the coming of God's wrath against the evils of slavery. I am sure you know all this Mr. Blake. Given that, how could you write such a twisted account? Nazi propaganda chief, Joseph Goebbels, another follower of Satan, would be proud of your report.
So Christians during the times of slavery have the only correct interpretation of the bible? Nice attempt at spin to sweep the demons under the rug, but even an 8 year old knows better.

Only Nazis make references to Nazis.

It is religion which requires a willful rejection of reality and proven fact - in other words, delusion, the most dangerous form of mental illness. Atheism is a sign of mental health.
I can see. It made you delusional.
Please avoid bumper-sticker posts and try to write a sentence or two and then work yourself up to a paragraph.
btw If I read the read the word delusion and its variants one more time I'm going to puke.
Believing that doesn't make it true.
Where was all this hand-wringing about hypocrisy when Romney took multiple positions on virtually every issue, and when the Republicans slammed Obama about 15 times for pushing programs which Republicans actually supported? CNN has become a joke - you're just doing the GOP's job for them. In an election year.
mslisac363
This is a waste of time. The black church doesn't care about this bull.. And no they want let this stop them voting for a black. White people are so stupid. No I'm not black but no lots of them.
CNN you are nitwits. What are you singling out the black church for when this is a sin in every Christian church, not just the black church you idiots.
The BIBLE says its OK to own slaves....... The BIBLE says it's ok to beat your slave as long as they don't die within 2 days..... BACKS are HYPOCRITES

Answer–because black or white, or pink with purple polka dots, we are all at heart people, with the same inherent flaw. We always want an other, and at our base, we can only define ourselves by what we are NOT. Religion does not change that; it intensifies it. There is no enlightenment in religion, just a different set of blinders
A black church judging equality?? Wasn't it Supreme Court laws that help the inequalities of the blacks in 1957 Brown vs. Board of Education; Plessy vs. Ferguson; 1963 when Gov. Wallace refused blacks the right to register and obtain an education – when civil rights were the issue for blacks and all of America? Why would blacks not afford the same equalities to all men of creed or color, including gays and civil marriages.... Martin Luther King must be rolling in his grave.
This is what the LGBT lobby fundamentally misses: MLK didn't get conservatives to change their view of the Bible; he appealed to them from WITHIN their existing view of the Bible.
it was precisely that MLK could appeal to conservatives WITHIN their own understanding of the Bible that made the civil rights movement effective – appealing to the Hebrew prophets & passages like Gal.3:28 & Philemon.
There are no such passages for the LGBT cause – which is why the many in the African American community who are socially progressive but theologically conservative cannot side with the LGBT.
Read David Chappell's "Stone of Hope." It exposes the mistaken premise of this article.
johnfrichardson
The civil rights laws weren't passed by appealing to conservatives. The conservatives opposed them all the way through.
Meanwhile, the Old Testament says that prost-itutes should be stoned, but Jesus befriended them. Conservative Christians are the Pharisees of the modern day and do not follow Jesus's actual example at all.
The correct term would be Republican not conservative.
@ johnfrichardson: we can argue the politics of it, but you can't argue this...
1) conservatives who still hold to the SAME view of the Bible have a different view on civil rights. MLK did effectively reach them WITHOUT getting them to change their view of how to interpret the Bible (hermeneutics). Cone is wrong there – at least.
2) Jesus welcoming prost.itutes did not mean he affirmed prost.itution. He still called people out of their sin. And if one thing is clear, the LGBT does not want *that* kind of affirmation.
@ James: I disagree. Conservative theologically is not the same as conservative politically. Jesus was absolutely conservative theologically (even appealing to singular words as fully authoritative from the OT) – but he was a radically progressive socially.
The problem for conservative Christians is that they've allowed partisan politics to wag the dog – when Jesus calls them to a much more nuanced position.
I guess gay marriage supporters think that if they tell this lie loudly and often enough, people will start to buy it. The fact is, the form of "slavery" that the Old Testament regulated and tacitly condoned was nothing like the slavery of the American South. It was much more like indentured servitude. It was a way of discharging a debt obligation in a time long before bankruptcy courts and credit ratings. In addition, the Old Testament stipulated that slaves be set free every 7 years. This isn't a "modernist" reading of scripture. It's there in plain black and white for anyone who cares to read it, and there were biblical scholars in the 19th century who pointed it out.
@Adam,
The plain black and white you mention is only for Israelites. For non-jews, slaves were personal property and permanent.
"You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly." (Leviticus 25:45-46)
@Adam You can tell YOUR lies again and again till you beleive them, but you aren't fooling anyone.
markdonna7
@ Adam God bless you. You are right stand for truth.
sethyee
Funny every liberal will scream how they are not racist, but the second us uppity minorities don't know our place and dare disagree, you see another side of people. Please CNN tell minorities what we need to think about social issues.
Your brain is constant spin. You need to be studied for your mental illness.
Really-O?
@sethyee-
You don't see the gay rights as a civil rights issue?
What "place" are you talking about? The article, correctly I think, asks the question as to whether black churches are being hypocritical? Disagree, if you want, it's a question. Why do you disagree?
With your use of the word "liberal" and "screaming" both in the same sentence it sounds as though you are already being told what to think on social issues by the FOX news media
Give your hatred of liberals a rest. The article isn't about liberals, and if you're a Christian such mean-spirited comments are only further evidence Christianity is a fraud.
Im voting for ron paul, even if i have to write him in im tired of the democrats and republicans who are both bought and sold by the banks
this whole gay marriage thing is a non issue to get people to take their focus away from the REAL issues, like the federal reserve robbing us all.
its time to shatter the false left/right paradigm
Someone's conservative views have direct correlation with their broad worldly view and intellectual depth which are the result of combinations of education, individual's sense of curiosity which forces them to seek answers rather than regurgitated norms. This is what I like to prefer to breaking from one own's bubble.
I am Somalian, and looking at the education level of many people in my country, it is almost hopeless to make them question some Islamic teachings, so they are conservatives for most part.
Blacks, which I am part off are generally more conservative, the reason why I believe blacks don't go for the GOP is simply weighing the racist agenda of the GOP party and the conservatism views blacks have.
One speaks directly to survival, ideological comfort comes second to a party that adopts policies to genocide you...
tsoho
I'm curious ...
What exactly is the "racist agenda of the GOP party"?
And what GOP policies are aimed at genociding anyone?
tsoho: I wouldn't say the GOP has a racist agenda as a party, but people who seem to have issues with blacks seem much more likely to be Republicans than Democrats. Many of them like the idea of whites being in control of the country, and they seem utterly unconcerned when issues affect blacks disproportionately. Racism within the GOP is a subtle and complex issue, but it's clearly an issue.
JOhn Holmes
LOL. Liberals did it again. They made the election about gay rights. An issues only 2% of the pervs care about. Guess it gets peoples mind off the fact that Obama destroyed the country and nobody is working.
one word for you....IDIOT
Kandric
Actually, over 50% of Americans support it, but sure, round down to the nearest 2%. That's valid...
That sounds like a Romney Repeat. Can you tell me how Obama caused the problems we are in? Just because those who are rich say, give us more money and we'll help you out, doesn't mean you have to believe them. Like a marriage, it takes two, hence it takes more than just Obama to have driven our country to where it is. If the economy (water) rises too fast, you are bound to have a dike or two break. Slow and steady (like a diet) will last much longer and cause less lasting problems.
Right-wing troll does it again in attacking liberals instead of discussing the issue.
The bible never endorses slavery or teaches that slavery is good. Slavery was firmly entrenced in past cultures and the new testament bible was not concerned with destroying cultures, but redeeming the soul. The very essence of Jesus teaching, however, does transform the individual which in turn can change culture.
Just keep lying to yourself.
sudarsha
We all require the right to live our lives in a way that does not limit the rights of anyone else. Whose rights are being limited by same gender marriage? Who benefits? Who is put at risk?
Perhaps it is time to examine what is going on in our own heart before we endeavour to minimize the heart of another.
But it makes some people feel... uncomfortable. 🙁 Therefore it must be illegal.
Cinchy
On a completely – sorry – unrelated note... when will CNN provide tools that allow for the searching and sorting of blog posts? They are way behind.

What is a Blackk Church? When I sit in church I see People. How about a church in a Blackk community? So is there a different "Blackk" Bible?
That's the first question that I'd ask too! I think all churches are green.
I understand what he means by that, and I accept that you don't.

As the year begins to wind to a close and we move further away from the incredible HollyShorts Film Festival, HollyShorts and BitPix are still working hard to bring new, talented artists to the forefront. With this month's return to the bi-monthly screenings, we get a look at some new, exciting films. A big thank you to all of the creators who were selected and are showing off their work to us this time.
Promotional Poster for "Other Bodies"
Other Bodies – A surreal and engaging film by Alyssa Loh, Other Bodies is a story told through the eyes and words of its protagonist, Mark. A student of literature, Mark shapes his outlook through the classics of the past, using them as a tool to find others that share his odd habits. It's here that he finds someone, a person who wants to let him in. It's a bit of an ephemeral film, told both through Mark's words, as well as memories of his actions. This is a movie that delves into feeling, into thought, presented without context or a lot of clarity. But that's what makes it so interesting, weaving a one sided tale that's cryptic and dreamlike, echoed through the low voice of Mark, played by Ian Cramer. Joining him in this is Eva Ravenal, who is excellent opposite Cramer.
First To Respond – Directed by Nanako Fukui, this four minute short shows the power and heroism of first responders. On average, three to four minutes is the response time to many emergencies, allowing us to get the story of the traumas that responders see on a daily basis. Traumas that are both something they react to, and something inflicted on them. In the time it takes to watch this film, which is mostly told through the words of San Francisco first responder Carla Beyer, a first responder could get a call, react and be on the scene, potentially saving a life. Hearing the stories of Beyer and how she handles a high-stress and dangerous job is inspiring and worthy of so much respect.
Swimming – An incredibly beautiful film, Swimming brings us a look at two friends who lean on one another in an attempt to deal with their feelings towards fatherhood, both in the present for one, and in a potential future in another. As they enjoy each other's company and a day at the beach, they hare, talk about their feelings, and lift each other up, showing their affections for one another in a way that most films that focus on two males in a platonic friendship rarely do. While there is some seemingly romantic tension, the love they share for one another is deep and real, exploring their emotional bond is a wonderful way. Sam Dash and Julian Elijah Martinez have chemistry that is off the charts, adding realism and intimacy in a way this film truly needed to be as good as it is. Written by Dash and directed by Shadi Ghaheri, it's a truly emotional film that takes something as simple as friends sharing with one another, and adds so much depth.
Promotional Poster for "Layover"
Layover – A film by Matthew Petti, who also stars, this short follows John, who is stuck in a hotel room during a layover. With little to do other than attempt to contact someone important, we watch John make a series of anxious missteps and flubs while trying to make plans and kill some time. It's oddly tense, but also funny, bringing surprising fascination to some very mundane tasks.
Today – Tense and violent, Today shows the cycle of abuse in a way that is hard to look away from. As a woman suffers the wills and influence of her husband, the days seem to blend together in this surreal 1960's landscape. This is an endlessly fascinating film that mixes elements of science fiction with this mundane but fraught suburban life, showing the darkness of abuse, it's destructive pull and the effect it can carry, both physical and emotional. Written by Philip Cristian Claassen and directed by Andrew Jaksch, this is a deeply powerful film that brings so much to the table, especially from the cast of Tom Farrah and Jessica Tanner.
People Person – A wild, visually stunning film, People Person is writer/director Rymalena's cyberpunk thriller, with bright, psychedelic lights, mind- warping visuals and an animation style that is underused and very underappreciated. The story follows MZ, played by Carla Hailwood, a young woman looking to escape reality. She ends up finding that solace in a VR program that obscures reality in favor of a preferred simulated environment, at least until she stumbles upon a discarded program called People Person, which instead of simulating a new reality for you, delves into your own personality, allowing for digital avatars to give you a dose of introspection. It's a fast- paced mass of energy, lights and flashing images, visuals that bend and twist. The rotoscoped feel of the animation lends itself well to the idea that everything we see is basically a filter laid upon reality itself. It's beautiful, frenetic and wild, as well as highly entertaining.
Another big thanks to the creators who have shared their film with us! Be sure to check out the screening from November 4th to November 7th, only on BitPix!

San Francisco Opera presents 'Makropulos Case' starring Karita Mattila
Finnish soprano Karita Mattila makes her debut as the mysterious Emilia Marty.
Monica Turner
Karita Mattila
San Francisco Opera announced it will present Leoš Janáček's The Makropulos Case in six performances running November 10–28 at the War Memorial Opera House.
Following her triumphs in the title roles of Jenůfa and Káťa Kabanová, Finnish soprano Karita Mattila makes her role debut in one of Janáček's most intriguing operas as the mysterious Emilia Marty. Tenor Miro Dvorsky returns to the Company as Albert Gregor and bass-baritone Gerd Grochowski makes his San Francisco Opera debut as Baron Jaroslav Prus.
These performances, which mark the premiere of this new co-production with Finnish National Opera, reunite Mattila with Olivier Tambosi, director of her triumphant Manon Lescaut at San Francisco Opera in 2006. Czech conductor and Janáček expert Jiří Bĕlohlávek, who currently serves as chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, makes his Company debut leading the San Francisco Opera Orchestra and Chorus. This production marks the fourth time San Francisco Opera has performed The Makropulos Case including its 1966 United States premiere with Marie Collier in the title role.
Internationally known for the beauty and versatility of her lyric voice as well as her intense dramatic portrayals, soprano Karita Mattila returns to San Francisco Opera for her third role debut with the Company as Emilia Marty. Mattila made her San Francisco Opera debut in 1989 as Ilia in Idomeneo and returned in 1993 as Eva in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg; in 1996 as Elsa in Lohengrin (role debut); in 2002 as Katerina in Kát'a Kabanová (role debut) and in 2006 in the title role of Manon Lescaut. In addition to her many roles by Puccini, Strauss, Beethoven, Mozart, Verdi, Tchaikovsky and Wagner, Mattila displays a unique mastery of Janáček's music. Recent credits include the title role of Kát'a Kabanová at the Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Madrid's Teatro Real, and Helsinki Opera; and the title role of Jenůfa at Los Angeles Opera, the Metropolitan Opera, the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, and the Royal Opera, Covent Garden.
Set design for The Makropulos Case
Tenor Miro Dvorsky returns to San Francisco Opera as Albert Gregor, a role he recently performed at Milan's La Scala. Dvorsky has previously appeared at San Francisco Opera as Alfredo Germont in La Traviata (2004) and Mario Cavaradossi in Tosca (2004). Other recent performances include Laca Klemeň in Jenůfa at La Scala and Hamburg State Opera, Macduff in Macbeth at Florence's Maggio Musicale Festival and Hamburg State Opera, and B.F. Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly at Teatro Verdi Trieste. Bass-baritone Gerd Grochowski makes his San Francisco Opera debut as Baron Jaroslav Prus, a role he has previously performed in Madrid and Stuttgart. Grochowski frequently appears in leading roles in Wagner's Lohengrin, Tristan und Isolde, Götterdämmerung and Der Fliegende Hollander, and has previously performed Janáček's final opera, The House of the Dead, in Aix-en-Provence, Amsterdam and Vienna. Former Adler Fellow Dale Travis, who has performed in more than thirty productions with the Company, returns as Dr. Kolenatý.
These performances are dedicated to the memory of former San Francisco Opera Principal Guest Conductor Sir Charles Mackerras, who passed away in July 2010. Renowned for masterful interpretations of the works of Janáček and Dvořák, Mackerras led the Company's most recent production of The Makropulos Case in 1993.
Sung in Czech with English supertitles, the six performances of The Makropulos Case are scheduled for November 10 (7:30 p.m.), November 13 (8 p.m.), November 16 (8 p.m.), November 20 (8 p.m.), November 24 (7:30 p.m.) and November 28 (2 p.m.), 2010.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Lobo football players started class Monday, just like the other thousands of UNM students.
But 24 hours earlier, they were on the field, getting ready for their season opener.
It's a juggling act that Coach Bob Davie understands.
"I've seen this a lot through my coaching career. You know, you just try to grind through this, get as much work as you can," Davie said.
The Lobos kick off their season against Incarnate Word on September 1.

I recently moved and I needed a recommended builder in Ealing, West London to refurbish my newly purchased home. I found LSI Building Services in the Yellow Pages and very quickly found they were the right people for the job – I commissioned them on the first meeting.
I watched in appreciation as the existing interior was returned to its former period glory whilst I remained in residence. This included removing the ground floor ceilings, walls and floor as well as the kitchen.
The object was to achieve timeless elegance using as many reclaimed materials as possible; we achieved a finished article which to this day brightens the greyest of London skylines.

Die Burg Hornberg war nach ältesten Urkunden eine Gaugrafenburg und später eine Ritterburg auf einem steilen  hohen Bergsporn über dem Neckartal oberhalb des Ortes Neckarzimmern zwischen Bad Wimpfen und Mosbach. Die Spornburg bestand ursprünglich aus zwei eigenständigen Burganlagen mit gemeinsamer Vorburg, die erst später durch eine Mauer umfasst wurden. Götz von Berlichingen lebte 45 Jahre auf Burg Hornberg, für die er sich schon als Jugendlicher begeisterte. Das zur Burg gehörende, nach Urkundenlage zweitälteste noch bestehende Weingut der Welt betreibt unterhalb der Burg auf Steilterrassen traditionellen Weinbau.

Die Burg wurde von der Denkmalstiftung Baden-Württemberg zum Denkmal des Monats August 2013 ernannt.

Geschichte

Gründung und Ersterwähnung

Die Anfänge der Burg liegen im Dunkeln, jedoch scheint sie spätestens im 11. Jahrhundert gegründet worden zu sein. Die erste urkundliche Erwähnung der Burg weist im Jahr 1184 die Grafen von Lauffen als Eigentümer aus, die bereits 1011 mit dem auf der anderen Neckarseite gelegenen Ort Haßmersheim begütert waren und die Aufsicht über die Neckarschifffahrt innehatten. In der Urkunde von 1184 kamen die Brüder Boppo (V.) und Konrad von Lauffen darin überein, dass Boppo die Burg Hornberg künftig im Alleinbesitz hatte und sein Bruder Konrad ein Gut in Grensheim (auch Grenzhof) als Ausgleich erhielt. Mutmaßlich war das Lauffener Territorium zuvor nach dem Tod ihres Vaters Boppo (IV.) zwischen Boppo (V.) und Konrad aufgeteilt worden, wobei Boppo die südöstlichen und Konrad die nordwestlichen Gebiete zugefallen waren und die Burg Hornberg durch ihre Lage in der Mitte des Herrschaftsgebiets geteilt worden war. Durch ihre zentrale Lage könnte Hornberg in der Spätphase der Grafen von Lauffen die strategisch wichtigste Burg gewesen sein. Nach dem Aussterben dieses Geschlechts 1216–1219 gelangten die Herren von Dürn (Walldürn) durch Einheirat über Boppos (V.) Tochter Mechthild in den Besitz der Anlage. Im Jahr 1259 verkauften die Herren von Hornberg die Burg an den Bischof von Speyer, und 1263 verzichteten die Brüder von Dürn und Graf Ludwig II. von Ziegenhain zugunsten des Bischofs von Speyer auf ihre Rechte.

Die zwei Burgen Hornberg
Damit war das Hochstift Speyer Eigentümer der Burg Hornberg mit den dazugehörigen Dörfern Neckarzimmern, Steinbach und Haßmersheim. Die in der Folge häufig wechselnden Besitzer mussten sich von Speyer belehnen lassen. Bereits 1283 trat mit den Pfauen von Hornberg ein neues Geschlecht in der Gegend auf, das sich später Hornecke von Hornberg nannte, jedoch zu dieser Zeit als Besitzer der Burg nicht nachweisbar ist.

Im Jahre 1330 sah sich Bischof Walram von Speyer (1328 bis 1336) aufgrund seiner starken Verschuldung gezwungen, die Pflege seines Hochstifts samt seiner Besitzungen dem Erzbischof von Trier anzuvertrauen. Dem Nachfolger Walrams, Gerhard von Ehrenberg, gelang es sehr schnell, die Schuld an Trier zu bereinigen, so dass bereits 1338 Burg Hornberg und alle anderen Besitzungen wieder in den Besitz des Bistums Speyer zurückkamen, das von nun an die Lehnsherrlichkeit über die Burg sowie der dazugehörenden Dörfer Neckarzimmern und Steinbach bis 1803 innehatte.

Nachdem das Dorf Steinbach im Jahr 1341 durch einen der Herren von Helmstatt, die im 14. und 15. Jahrhundert Burg und Dorf als Lehen hatten, befestigt worden war und das Stadtrecht erhielt, hatten die zwei Burgen Hornberg (Duo Castra Horimberch), wie sie damals in Urkunden erschien, als Schutzfestung eine besondere Bedeutung für das Bistum Speyer. Bis Mitte des 15. Jahrhunderts fungierte sie als östliches Bollwerk des Hochstifts. Um 1430 ist überliefert, dass Pfalzgraf Otto eine Hälfte der Burg Hornberg besaß und sie an Hans von Berlichingen verkaufte, der sie aber vermutlich später wieder verkaufte. Zwischen 1263 und 1464 waren sehr häufige Besitzerwechsel auf Burg Hornberg; bis zu dreimal im Jahr. Die Ursache hierfür waren neben den häufigen Verpfändungen der Burg auch, schon mit der ersten Urkunde über den Besitz der Brüder von Lauffen beginnend, dass immer wieder vom Besitz der halben Burg zu lesen ist, zeitweise also verschiedene Personen bzw. Familien die untere Burg mit Steinbach und Haßmersheim bzw. die obere Burg mit Neckarzimmern zu Lehen hatten.

Burg Hornberg im unrechtmäßigen Eigentum der Pfalzgrafen
Schließlich verkaufte Speyer die gesamte Burg Hornberg (samt Neckarzimmern, Steinbach und Haßmersheim) im Jahr 1464 an Lutz Schott von Schottenstein. 1470 erhielt Schott auch das Lehen für seinen neuen Besitz. Schon 1474 jedoch eroberte Kurfürst von der Pfalz Friedrich der Siegreiche, nach einem Zwist mit seinem Dienstmann Schott wegen der morganatischen Ehe des Pfalzgrafen, die Burg Hornberg. Nach einem weiteren militärischen Konflikt um die Burg am 12. September 1480 gelang es dem Sohn von Lutz Schott, Conz Schott von Schottenstein, im Zuge der bayerischen Fehde im Jahr 1504, den Hornberg sowie die zugehörigen Orte mithilfe von 60 befreundeten Reitern (vermutlich sind Ritter gemeint, sowie für jeden Ritter drei bis fünf Knechte) für die Familie Schott von Schottenstein zurückzuerobern. Zwei danach ausgetragene Prozesse bestätigten ihn auch als rechtmäßigen Besitzer und verurteilten den Pfalzgrafen zur Zahlung von 1800 Gulden als Entschädigung, für die Zeit, die er der Familie Schott die Burg unrechtmäßig entzogen hatte. Mit diesem Geld begann Schott sofort mit dem Ausbau und der weiteren Befestigung der beiden Burgen, indem er beispielsweise die beiden Burgen und die gemeinsame Vorburg mit der noch heute vorhandenen Umfassungsmauer zu einer Burg vereinte.

Burg Hornberg – der Wohnsitz von Götz von Berlichingen

Im Jahr 1517 kaufte Götz von Berlichingen, der Ritter mit der eisernen Hand, die Burg mit Steinbach und Haßmersheim für 6500 Gulden von Conz Schott von Schottenstein und lebte auf dieser, zusammen mit seiner Familie, bis zu seinem Tode 1562. Götz benannte sich seitdem nach seiner Burg, führte den Namen "von Berlichingen zu Hornberg" und begründete die Hornberg-Rossacher Hauptlinie. Vom Bauernaufstand des Jahres 1525 blieb Burg Hornberg verschont, da Götz von Berlichingen vorübergehend erzwungenermaßen Hauptmann bei den Aufständischen war. Wegen seiner Teilnahme am Bauernkrieg wurde er 1528 nach Augsburg bestellt und für zwei Jahre gefangen gesetzt. Erst nachdem er Urfehde geschworen hatte, den Bezirk von Hornberg nicht mehr zu verlassen, Schadenersatz zu leisten und keine Rache zu üben, wurde er freigelassen. Ein Anklageverfahren vor dem Bundestag des Schwäbischen Bundes endete kurze Zeit später mit einem bedingten Freispruch, die Urfehde wurde 1541 von Kaiser Karl V. aufgehoben. Auf der Burg diktierte der Ritter seine Lebensgeschichte, die Johann Wolfgang von Goethe als Vorlage für seinen "Götz von Berlichingen" diente. Im Jahr 1562 starb der "Ritter mit der eisernen Hand" im Alter von 82 Jahren. Nach dem Tode von Götz ließ einer seiner Enkel, Philipp Ernst, ab dem Jahr 1573 die bereits zuvor begonnenen Um- und Erweiterungsbauten forciert durchführen und Verbesserungen an den Festungswerken vornehmen. Schon 1594 aber bewogen ihn finanzielle Schwierigkeiten und Prozesse bzw. Klagen, die seine Untertanen gegen ihn, bis hinauf zum kaiserlichen Gericht, führten, zum Verkauf an Hans Heinrich von Heußenstamm. Dieser erhielt sie im Jahr 1602 auch zu Lehen und errichtete in der Vorburg das Bandhaus, auch Wingerthaus bzw. Weinmeisterhaus genannt.

Im Jahr 1612 kaufte der kurfürstlich pfälzische Rat in Michelfeld, Reinhard (der Gelehrte) von Gemmingen, Burg Hornberg mit Neckarzimmern und Steinbach. Bis heute ist, nunmehr mit Dajo Freiherr von Gemmingen-Hornberg in der zwölften Generation, die Burg Hornberg im Besitz der Reichsfreiherren von Gemmingen. Bald nach dem Kauf verlegte die Familie ihren Wohnsitz jedoch vom Berg ins Tal, wo 1615 das Rentamt und 1657 das Neue Schloss (das heutige Rathaus von Neckarzimmern) entstanden. Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg wurde die Burg mehrmals besetzt und geplündert (1634, 1645) und im Pfälzischen Erbfolgekrieg (1689) von den Franzosen verwüstet und geplündert. Jedoch war die Anlage, obwohl nicht mehr dauerhaft bewohnt, bereits um 1700 wieder instand gesetzt.

Ab 1738 blieb die Burg bis zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts unbewohnt und dem Verfall preisgegeben sowie teilweise als Gutshof und Schafstall genutzt. Schließlich ließ um 1780 ein Burgverwalter in Abwesenheit des Burgherrn die vermutlich stark sanierungsbedürftigen Dächer der oberen Burg abdecken und machte damit diesen Teil der Burg zur Ruine. Das seitdem stark der Witterung ausgesetzte Schloss wurde im Zuge der Burgenromantik ab 1825 teilweise wieder instand gesetzt. Die abgegangenen Fachwerkaufsätze auf den Türmen und die Treppe im Bergfried wurden wieder aufgebaut, der auch ein neues Dach und neue Fenster erhielt. Der romanische Turmpalas der unteren Burg wurde um mindestens eine Etage auf die heutige Höhe abgetragen, dann wieder überdacht und in der nun obersten Etage eine Verwalterwohnung eingerichtet, die zunächst von Verwaltern bewohnt wurde.

Heutige Nutzung
Ab der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts erfolgten umfangreiche Restaurierungsmaßnahmen. Zunächst wurde im Turmpalas der unteren Burg weiterer Wohnraum für die Eigentümerfamilie geschaffen, die seit den 1930er Jahren wieder auf dem Hornberg wohnt. Danach wurden zunächst die ehemaligen Stallungen der Vorburg zu einem Panorama-Restaurant mit weitem Blick über das Neckartal umgebaut. Später wurden in über den Ställen gelegenen Knechtsstuben Hotelzimmer eingerichtet, so dass sich in Teilen der Vorburg auch ein komfortables Hotel umgeben von Weinbergen präsentiert, das von einer Nebenlinie der Burgeigentümerfamilie betrieben wird. Ein Museum wurde 1968 von Hans-Wolf Freiherr von Gemmingen mit Beständen aus eigenem Besitz und Neuerwerbungen im Turm und der ehemaligen Küche der oberen Burg eingerichtet (es wurde 1998 in den Weinverkauf in der Vorburg verlegt). Gezeigt werden neben Artefakten aus älteren Epochen Waffen und Rüstungen aus dem Mittelalter, darunter die Originalrüstung Götz von Berlichingens, sowie eine Dokumentation zur Geschichte der Burg. Neben der Burg kann auch der historische Weinkeller besichtigt werden. In einem später entstanden Schafstall befindet sich heute der Ticket- und Weinverkauf, in dem vor allem Erzeugnisse des zur Burg gehörenden Weingutes angeboten werden.

Die obere Burg ist der Öffentlichkeit für Besichtigungen zugänglich, auch Burgführungen werden hierfür angeboten. Gelegentlich wird sie auch für Veranstaltungen, Ausstellungen und Filmaufnahmen genutzt. 1949 etwa diente die Burg als Kulisse für den Film Königskinder von Helmut Käutner.

Anlage

Die Burganlage liegt auf einem  hohen schmalen Bergsporn und erstreckt sich über eine Länge von 170 m. Sie bestand ursprünglich aus zwei getrennten Burganlagen, die jeweils für sich alleine wehr- und verteidigungsfähig waren. Zwischen ihnen lag die gemeinsame Vorburg. Um 1510 wurden von Conz Schott von Schottenstein beide Burgen samt der Vorburg mit einer gemeinsamen Mauer als zusätzliche Befestigung umschlossen.

Untere Burg

Die untere Burg besteht aus dem ältesten Gebäude der Anlage, dem heute von der Eigentümerfamilie bewohnten romanischen Turmpalas (in alter Literatur fälschlicherweise auch oft als Mantelbau vermutet). Er stammt wahrscheinlich aus der Mitte des 12. Jahrhunderts. Das Gebäude mit einer Grundfläche von 12 × 25,5 Metern weist durchgehende wehrhafte Mauerstärken von 2,70 Metern an der Nordseite und 1,50 bis 1,80 Metern an den restlichen Seiten auf. Das 15 Meter hohe Gebäude ist so stabil ausgeführt, dass es ursprünglich wohl noch mindestens eine weitere Etage besaß. Der Bau war für die damalige Zeit außergewöhnlich groß und übertraf in seinen Dimensionen das in derselben Epoche erbaute Steinhaus der Kaiserpfalz Wimpfen. Die besonders dicke Nordwand ist als Angriffsseite zu verstehen, an die sich ein heute verschwundener Halsgraben angeschlossen haben könnte, während die Südseite wohl durch weitere Befestigungen geschützt lag. Der Palas wies drei romanische Zwillingsfenster auf, die mit Rundstab, Hohlkehle und Diamantstab verziert sind und deren Mittelsäulen von Würfelkapitellen mit Darstellungen von Weintrauben und Reben bekrönt sind. Ein derart reicher Bauschmuck weist das Gebäude als repräsentativen Wohnturm aus. Durch verschiedene historische Umbauten ist die ursprüngliche Fenster- und Türsituation nur noch fragmentarisch zu erkennen. Wo sich der ursprüngliche Zugang zum Gebäude befand, ist nicht bekannt.

Sogenannte Schildmauer in der oberen Burg

Über die gemeinsame Vorburg erreicht man über einen Zwinger das obere Torhaus (Nordtor) mit dem alemannischen Fachwerk und die Obere Burg. Zur oberen Burg gehören neben einer sogenannten Schildmauer, Bergfried, Burgkapelle und Palas noch weitere Wohnbauten.

Die "Schildmauer" im Norden der Oberen Burg erreicht heute eine Höhe von 7,50 Metern und war ursprünglich sicher noch höher. Ihre Mauerstärke beträgt im Zentrum rund 7 Meter, zu den Seiten hin noch etwa 5,50 Meter. Nach Westen hin endet die Mauer sehr unregelmäßig – möglicherweise ein Hinweis darauf, dass die Mauer einst noch ein Stück nach Westen fortgeführt war. Diese massive Mauer stellt heute, wohl ebenso wie der auf ihr stehende Bergfried, eines der größten Rätsel der Burg dar, da sie nicht sicher datierbar ist und möglicherweise bereits lange vor der Zeit, in der Schildmauern üblich wurden, bereits stand. Selbst sehr gründliche Burgenforscher, wie Adolf Zeller, der um 1900 die Burg aufwendig mit den damals modernsten Mitteln vermaß und untersuchte, fanden keine Erklärung. In Chroniken des 17. Jahrhunderts spricht Reinhard von Gemmingen gar von einer römischen Mauer; allerdings lässt sich dies auf Grund der überaus grob behauenen Steine und anderer Merkmale heute sicher ausschließen. Für diese grobe Mauerarbeit wurde bisher noch kein weiteres Beispiel in der weiteren Umgebung der Burg gefunden. Auch die Lage der Mauer und ihre Dimensionen wollen nicht in ein Konzept passen, zumal wenn man dies im Kontext mit dem umliegenden Gelände und der zu jenen Zeiten verfügbaren Waffen sieht. Die Eigentümerfamilie vermutet, dass es sich hier um ein vor romanisches Bauwerk handeln könne, welches eventuell in Verbindung mit der Notburga-Sage oder mit Ungarnwällen zu sehen sei. Für Letzteres spräche auch die Lage und Ausdehnung der Burganlage.

Bergfried der oberen Burg

Vorbei am Pulverturm mit einem Abtritt in schwindelerregender Höhe betritt man die obere Burg. Dort ist der Berlichingensche Palas noch als Ruine erhalten. Der schlanke, zur Angriffsseite hin halbkreisförmige und an der Rückseite (Südseite) abgeplattete Bergfried steht an der höchsten Stelle und ist ca. 33 m hoch. Der Unterbau unterhalb der romanischen Pforte wird seit dem 17. Jahrhundert immer wieder als vollkommen massiv angenommen; wohl weil beim Betreten des Turmes dies der erste Eindruck ist. Jedoch sind keine Untersuchungen bekannt, die dies sicher nachweisen bzw. nachweisen, dass dies auch schon von Beginn an so war. Und auch das Alter des Turms ist ungewiss, hatte die frühen Burgenforscher um 1900 gerne das 10., spätestens das 11. Jahrhundert als Bauzeit genannt, gehen aktuellere Untersuchungen von der Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts aus, weil die Mauer darunter nun als Schildmauer gedeutet wird, deren Art erst gegen Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts aufkam, und deuten die diese Ansicht störende romanische Pforte als zweitverwendet. Jedoch fehlen auch alle zu dieser Zeit üblichen baulichen Merkmale, die mit den Kreuzzügen auch in Deutschland verbreitet waren. Auch die Art des verwendeten Mörtels lässt einen Bauzeitpunkt, laut Krieger, nach 1200 sehr unwahrscheinlich erscheinen. Ungeklärt sind auch der äußere ovale und der innere rechteckige Grundriss, denn üblicherweise haben diese Türme innen wie außen denselben Grundriss. In die beiden Untergeschosse sind Holzdecken eingezogen. Die einzigen Lichtöffnungen bilden schmale Schlitzfenster auf der Rückseite. Die Wände des obersten Turmzimmers sind von sechs unterschiedlich großen Fenstern durchbrochen, die Aussicht nach allen Seiten gewähren. Der ursprüngliche Eingang befand sich in einer Höhe von etwas über 15 Metern. Der Bergfried wurde von den Berlichingen, in der Absicht die Burg in ein Renaissance-Schloss umzubauen, um einen Treppenturm ergänzt. Ein Söller verbindet den oberen Ausgang des Treppenturms seitdem mit dem Eingang des Bergfrieds und ermöglicht einen leichten Aufstieg zur Aussichtsplattform.

Hauptbereich der oberen Burg
Hinter dem Bergfried steht die Burgkapelle aus dem 15. Jahrhundert, ein eher schlichter Bau, in dessen Inneres man durch ein spitzbogiges Portal mit Wappenschild gelangt. Der Innenraum wird von Kreuzgewölben überspannt. Unter der Kapelle befindet sich die Familiengruft derer von Gemmingen. Die Zwinger wurden im 13. und im 15. Jahrhundert ergänzt und geändert. Ein weiterer Zwinger und der große Berlichingensche Palas folgten im 16. Jahrhundert.

Der imposanteste Bau der oberen Burg ist der Palas mit dem Wendelstein. Er wurde von Jakob von Berlichingen im 16. Jahrhundert erbaut. Die Räume des Untergeschosses dienten als Küche, Backstube und Abstellräume. In der Bäckerei sind noch Reste zweier Backöfen zu sehen. Die Küche wird von einem gotischen Kreuzrippengewölbe überspannt, dessen Schlusssteine Wappen zieren. Ein großer Raum im Obergeschoss ist der sogenannte Rittersaal. An der Ostwand ist zwischen zwei Doppelfenstern ein alter Kamin zu sehen. Der Wendelstein, ein sechseckiger Treppenturm, ist der jüngste Bauteil der oberen Burg. Erbaut wurde er 1573 von Philipp Ernst von Berlichingen. Besonders kunstvoll ist das Portal gestaltet: Neben dem rundbogigen Eingang erheben sich über zwei Fratzengesichtern geschwungene Halbsäulen mit reicher Ornamentik, bekrönt von Kapitellen, Akanthusreihen und Engelsköpfchen. Über den Kapitellen führen Pilaster weiter nach oben bis zum Kranzgesims. Den oberen Abschluss bildet eine giebelbekrönte Steinplatte mit dem Wappen derer von Berlichingen. Der Wendelstein führt zum Hocheingang des Bergfrieds hinauf und bildet zugleich den Zugang zum Museum im Palas.

Gemeinsame Vorburg
Die von der oberen und unteren Burg gemeinsam genutzte Vorburg liegt zwischen den beiden historischen Burgarealen. Hier befanden sich frühere Wirtschaftsgebäude wie der Marstall (heutiges Restaurant), das Wingerthaus (auch Bandhaus oder Weingärtnerhaus genannt), die Waschküche (heutiges Kühlhaus) und der erst im 18. Jahrhundert erbaute Schafstall (heute Hotel und Weinverkauf). Sowohl über den Stallungen als auch im Wingerthaus waren jeweils auch Wohnräume für das Dienstpersonal. Vermutlich gingen diesen relativ spät errichteten Steinbauten Holzgebäude voraus, welche die Burg schon vor dem Errichten der Umfassungsmauer von außen besehen als eine geschlossene Anlage erscheinen ließen.

Wasserversorgung
Die Wasserversorgung der Burg war wohl immer ein Problem. Sie erfolgte zunächst mittels eines heute noch erhaltenen Eselsweges im Osten der Burg, der zu einer dritten, etwas kleineren Pforte in der Ostmauer führte. Im 15. Jahrhundert wurden zwei Brunnen erwähnt, deren Lage jedoch heute nicht mehr sicher erkennbar ist. Bei einer Bestandsaufnahme der Burg um 1610 wegen des bevorstehenden Verkaufs an die Herren von Gemmingen war von einer alten Leitung aus Ton die Rede, die zu einer Quelle oberhalb der Burg führte. Als gravierender Nachteil wurde angemerkt, dass diese bei Kriegshandlungen leicht mit einem Beil hätte zerstört werden können.

Burgfriedhof
Oberhalb der Burg befindet sich ein Burgfriedhof mit einer 1884 von Eisenlohr und Weigle erbauten Gruftkapelle. Nach Plänen der Architekten fertigte Maler Loosen aus Nürnberg die Ausmalung des Innenraums der Kapelle, die Glasfenster fertigte Karl de Bouché aus München.

Weingut Burg Hornberg

Schon mit der Ersterwähnung der Burg Hornberg im Jahre 1184 wird auch von den zur Burg gehörenden Weinbergen berichtet. Es gibt viele Anhaltspunkte, die bereits einen Weinbau seit der Römerzeit in Neckarzimmern nahelegen. Der frühere Mitbesitz an den Weinbergen unterhalb der Burg Hornberg durch das ehemalige Kloster Billigheim legt nahe, dass zumindest sehr früh mit dem Weinbau nach Abzug der Römer wieder begonnen wurde und somit eine etwa 1500-jährige Weinbautradition besteht. So erklärt sich auch, dass die Biphoren im romanischen Turmpallas der Burg Hornberg, welches zur Zeit der Ersterwähnung bereits stand, reichlich mit Motiven des Weinbaus verziert sind. Das Weingut Burg Hornberg gilt heute nach Urkundenlage als das zweitälteste noch existierende Weingut der Welt und das älteste Weingut in Baden-Württemberg. Auf den Lagen Götzhalde und Wallmauer wird eine Vielzahl von Weinen auf circa 10h Fläche in Steilterrassen angebaut. Darunter auch historische Rebsorten wie Muskateller und Traminer. Der von diesem Weingut ebenfalls angebotene Sekt erinnert wegen der sehr ähnlichen Klima- und Bodenverhältnisse stark an die Erzeugnisse aus der Champagne. Von alters her bis in die Gegenwart gehören zu den Kunden des Weingutes diverse europäische Kaiser- und Könighöfe. Das Weingut liegt auf badischem Gebiet an der Grenze zu Württemberg und galt bis in die 1980er Jahre als badisches Weingut. Seitdem wird es als württembergisch geführt, weil die Weine eher typisch württembergisch als badisch sind. Auf Burg Hornberg befindet sich ein Weinverkauf des Weingutes.

Sonstiges
Neben dem Weingut gehören zur Burg auch umfangreiche Acker- und Waldflächen in der unmittelbaren Umgebung zur Burg. Unterhalb dieser Flächen wurde ab dem frühen 18. Jahrhundert bis etwa 1925 ein Gipsbergwerk betrieben. Den in etwa drei Kilometer Entfernung von der Burg gelegenen Stockbrunner (auch Stockbronner) Hof erwarb einst Götz von Berlichingen als Wirtschaftshof zur Burg und er gehört bis heute zur Burg Hornberg. Auf diesem Hof gibt es verschüttete Reste einer römischen Villa Rustica. Über die zur Burg gehörenden Flächen verlief einst der römische Limes. Knapp unterhalb der Burg wurde 1829 ein keltisches Grab in einem gemauerten Gewölbe freigelegt. Es wurde um 400 v. Chr. angelegt und enthielt Überreste mehrerer Personen und Schmuckbeigaben.

 Mit der Burg Hornberg ist eine Variante der Sage um Notburga von Hochhausen verknüpft. Notburga soll die Tochter eines auf Hornberg regierenden Königs gewesen sein.
 Die in der Novelle Das Bild des Kaisers von Wilhelm Hauff vorkommenden zwei Burgen haben ihr Vorbild in den sich über den Neckar in Sichtweite gegenüberstehenden Burgen Hornberg und Guttenberg.

Aurora City Councilman Bob FitzGerald today turned in his resignation and plans to work as a prosecutor in the criminal division of the city attorney's office.
FitzGerald has been on the council for eight years. In that time, he worked to pass a pitbull ban, held banks accountable to upkeep homes that were in foreclosure and help in the Prairie Waters Project.
"I enjoyed my time on the council. It was a great honor and privilege," FitzGerald said.
FitzGerald, 60, has a desire to be a judge one day and said he needs several years in a prosecutor's position to help make that dream come true.
The Aurora City Council will select his replacement to fill the remaining 18 months left on FitzGerald's term.
