Welcome to another exciting edition of "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia," where movies and television of both past, future, and present are reviewed and analyzed by an esteemed panel of critics of all varieties broken down by age and sex – which consists of me and only me, because there's no one more broken down by age and sex as me. That joke was first told be Stephen Fry, I believe, a decade ago. So let's get started with:
Long Forgotten:
The Great Dictator (1940): If you have ever felt weird because you thought you saw an odd resemblance between Charlie Chaplin and Hitler, you are not alone. Charlie himself saw that resemblance and played the dictator in a film he wrote satirizing the regime before the start of the Second World War. Now this was a risky move on Chaplin's part, as the international community was very cautious and wary of Nazi Germany at the point of time. The film itself is an amazing early comedy filled with slapstick goofiness, but is full of heart at the same time. The premise is essentially like every switcheroo comedy of modern day, where two people unwittingly end up in each others places, except instead of a teenage daughter and a 13 year old girl, it is a Jewish man and Hitler. Actually, now that I think about it, that's nothing like every switcheroo comedy of modern day.
Missed:
Riki-Oh – The Story of Ricky (1991): My fingers tremble and my chest feels heavy with fear as I type this one. I first saw this movie about 8 years ago with some friends, and I thought I was hallucinating. I probably was hallucinating, but the movie was still weird. I watched it again just today for the purposes of this article, and it has kept every bit of its weirdness, if not gained more with time. The movie is based on a Japanese Manga, but made by Hong Kong, it features outrageously bad special effects, ridiculous visuals, and so much blood that after one scene the main actor had to take a break from filming for 3 days because his skin was dyed red from it. The premise is basically a guy named Ricky is in jail, he's basically a Mortal Kombat character, and he crushes people's heads, rips out their intestines, and knocks down walls with nothing but his fists. That's really as close to a plot as the movie gets, but who needs a plot when you've got that?
Extract (2009): Beavis and Butthead creator Mike Judge released this gem under the radar, even more so then his cult classic "Idiocracy". Starring the incredibly hot Mila Kunis, and I guess some other people, this is the tale of a man who hires a male prostitute to sleep with his wife behind his back, so he can cheat on her guilt free. When his dumb plan actually works, he figures out he sucks at cheating. Also, at the same time, a man working at his plant loses his testicles, and a lawsuit may be inevitable. Not only is this a great movie, but it's a cheap movie – I bought a copy at Wal Mart for $2.99. Who cares if 'Ma and Pa' businesses can't compete and are going out of business, that's a damn good value.
Total Recall (2012): Have you ever wanted to watch the original Total Recall with better special effects, Malcolm's dad from "Malcolm in the Middle", but absolutely no substance or anything interesting? Well you're in luck. This turd hit theaters this month and left a stench you can still catch if you really try hard. And where is Mars? Seriously… where is it? That's why NASA had to send the "Curiosity rover" out there, they saw this movie and thought Mars went missing.
Don't Trust The Bitch in Apartment 23, season 2 (2012): ABCs surprise hit returns this fall with both unreleased and brand new episodes. This show is a great alternative to "2 Broke Girls", as it's about two girls, it's about a love hate friendship, but the difference is, this one is funny, it has Krysten Ritter, and that guy who played Dawson. Follow the adventures of the lovable naïve June as she becomes socially dependant on her druggy, psychotic, morally blank roommate.
Future:
The Hobbit – An Unexpected Journey (2012): Now, I am not a fan of fantasy books, or films, or anything with ogres or elves or Gollums, but I will give this one a try. Why the change of heart? Skyrim. No respect for Tolkien, none for Peter Jackson, just some good old fashioned Skyrim changed my mind enough about all this magical forest crap long enough that I will suspend disbelief and hold of judgment 'til I actually see it, hitting theaters this December

Lewis Hamilton was close to Lauda, who was Mercedes' non-executive director from 2012.
The world champion was fond of the F1 hero and his team will pay tribute to the Austrian this weekend.
It's understood the Silver Arrows team of Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas will carry a special message about Lauda on their cars, an also a graphic on the livery of the vehicle.
F1 bosses are also expected to make his death this week at the age of 70 with a fitting tribute at the famous Monaco circuit.
A minutes' silence before the race is also likely.
Hamilton posted a tribute to Lauda on Instagram yesterday. He wrote: "My buddy, I am struggling to believe you are gone.
"I will miss our conversations, our laughs, the big hugs after winning races together.
"It's truly been an honour working alongside you over these past seven years. I wouldn't have even been in this team if it wasn't for you."

"Thank you for being a bright light in my life," added Hamilton of Lauda, who famously survived a near-fatal crash in 1976 and then made a quick and courageous comeback. "I'll always be here for your family should they ever need me".
Lauda, who was treated in hospital in January for about 10 days while suffering from influenza, had a lung transplant last August.
"His passing leaves a void in Formula One," Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff said in a statement.
"We haven't just lost a hero who staged the most remarkable comeback ever seen, but also a man who brought precious clarity and candour to modern Formula One. He will be greatly missed as our voice of common sense."

How to Understand Wicca
What Is British Traditional Wicca (BTW)?
Learn about British Traditional Wicca (BTW) from Wiccan High Priestess Phyllis Curott in this Howcast video.
My name is Phyllis Curott, and I'm a Wiccan priestess. And I'm happy to talk to you a little bit about British traditional Wicca, which basically began with Gerald Gardner who was a British civil servant and who discovered the old religion of the British Isles, which is Wicca. What he referred to in the early 1950s, he called it Wicca. And that's sort of where the name comes from. Actually Wicca refers to a practitioner, a person who's practicing Wicca. He was initiated by the New Forest Coven, and mixed in with what he learned from them some ceremonial magic from the Golden Dawn, which was Lady Gregory and Yeats, a little Alistair Crowley, and some masonry, some of the mysteries of the east, the tantric mysteries of India, because he served in India for a while.
A little Buddhism from the Theosophical Society, which was increasingly popular in Britain. And you also have Alexandrian Wicca, which came along a little bit later. That's essentially the origin of what's called British, traditional British Wicca. It's an initiatory tradition. It's also frequently referred to either as the Gardnerian tradition or the Alexandrian tradition. It's quite formal. There is usually a priest and a priestess. You practice for a minimum of three years. You're usually initiated after a year and a day. And it takes at least three years to become a high priest or a high priestess. And in a certain sense, it's kind of like our historical north star, because people who practice Gardnerian or Alexandrian Wicca tend not to be too innovative. They practice it as it was taught to them, as it was handed down by Alexander in the Alexandrian tradition or by Gardner in the Gardnerian tradition, or with Seax-Wicca which is the Anglo-Saxon version from Ray Buckland, who was initiated through Gardner's lineage.
The Gardnerian tradition is part of my lineage, but I also came in through the Minoan Sisterhood which was the first women's group to break off from the Gardnerian tradition, which is traditionally both men and women. That's one of the characteristics of the Gardnerian tradition. What's like it being the north star, the constant point, which is very useful in a profound spiritual movement that is rooted in growth and transformation. It's important to remember that Gardner was very eclectic in his creation of Wiccan. He added to what he had been taught by the New Forest Coven in which he was initiated. He added a lot of additional wisdom from other traditions, which has been absolutely the trend as Wicca and the broader subject of paganism has gone increasingly public and absolutely exploded in size and popularity. So it's useful to have that constant point, and that's, I think that's one of its gifts to us.

My college experience at Woodbury has been valuable. I don't know if it is because of my major (architecture), or because the school population is very small, but in just one semester, I feel I have a second family. All of the architecture students trully do work together to support one another. I have spent nights at school working on final projects, and my fellow classmates have been more than happy to help me if I am having trouble; even if it is 4 in the morning. It is amazing to see that although we are all in a hurry to finish projects and get our work done, we never say no to help another who is having trouble. I believe that is what separates Woodbury University from other Universities.
I wish I had known the rigor required by the architecture professors. I was not prepared for such an intense work load, and it would have been nice to know before hand, so I would have expected it.
The worst thing about my school is the layout. The parking is at the opposite end of the architecture school, which is where most of my classes are located. The parking near the architecture buildings is very small, which makes no sense because the majority of the students that are always on campus, are the architecture students.
I loved college when I attended after Hight School. I have not attended since 1980. I'm a little nervous about going back, but it's necessary for my profession. I have grown children who have also attended college and they are quite proud of me going back. I have co-signed for both of my childrens student loans, this is going to make it difficult for loans for me. My husband and I own a small business as well as I work full time in a hospital setting. I learned many social things as well when I lived on campus. I am also a grandmother of 3 with another due in December and my grandchildren are also quite supportive of me going back to school. I have become quite a role model for my family. It's quite exhilerating!!! Thank you for your consideration.
What I have gotten out of my college experience and why it is so valuable to me—is simple, "I'm a first generation college student." Although my mother and father held steady jobs when I was young, it was not enough to keep us out of the lowest income bracket. That is why going back to college means so much to me. Going back to college means much more than getting good grades, it's my way of giving back to the whole community of people who have helped me on the road to acquiring knowledge, wisdom, and above all understanding. What I have gotten out of my college experience has helped me reach new heights that I was not aware of before attending college. My siblings and relatives are much more proud of me than I ever imagined. I love seeing my family's pride when I mention my continuing my graduate studies; it is my passion to strive and achieve success, all these things connected together makes earning a graduate degree highly valuable to me.
I brag to my friends about the college rank and job placement assistance upon graduation.
During the time I have attended college thus far, I have learned that dedication determination, desire are the keys to success, no matter what challenges you are presented with. Throughout my years in school, I have experienced many challenges and tribulations, both personal and environmental; however, I have ascertained that through perseverance and hard work anything is achievable. Despite the fact that that I have had to endure numerous conflicts to continue attending college, I feel that because of this I have grown morally, ethically as well as personally. When I feel that I have reached my limits and begin to become overwhelmed with situations I am confronted with, I remember the words of Vince Lombardi, "The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will".
Everyone here is nice, friendly, dedicated and most are willing to help when they can.
I have learned a lot, not just academically but also socially. I have learned about different aspecs that have to do with the "real" world that will benefit me in the future. Overall, I think that this college is giving me the knowledge academically and for my personal attitude to become someone very succesful in the future.
Someone who is not interested in a one-on-one bases with teachers, or that does not really want to work hard.
That the tutition would go up thousands of dollars for the time i was there. Woodbury is a good school but it is too expensive for middle class people.
I don't believe that the amount we pay for tuition fulfills the amount of equipment is available to us. I also believe that we need more durable computer equipment and I think that the school overcharges students on the amount we spend on plotting. The professors request many plots at every class meeting and the students spend too much money on plotting.
Woodbury University is a very friendly and educational school with lots of classes that give valuable information to students.
My school is in another state from my hometown, where I have grown all my life. I remember as a high school senior, wondering about college life in another state and how hard it would be to get used to a whole new lifestyle. The number one thing I would tell my past self, is to not be so afraid. Woodbury University is a small college with very nice people who help the students in any way possible, making the transition easier. Not only the staff, but fellow students are very welcoming and nice to you. Even though there are many students who come from other countries as well, they speak to you wanting to know your culture and will help you understand their own. Getting into a college in another state is hard, but Woodbury University makes it even easier to make the transition and get used to your college life for the rest of the time that you are at the college.
I wish I would have known that the school has many places where the students can go to either log into a computer or anything else to help with their school work.
I wish I knew about the lack of help the financial department would give and the lack of support from my advisor. I have spoken with each separately and have come to find that they both were talking about me which really broke my trust in my advisor and made me feel more like a customer than a student who needs help.
The worst thing about my school would have to be the administration. My student advisor has never "advised" me and the financial aid department has put me in tears many times. Students always complain about the staff, and it seems that very little is done about them. I have had class discussions with many students in many classes and they seem to agree with me.


Some advice with one though is to know your Professor…is the man or woman grading this paper going to take it as a joke like you did?
This should get you thinking about what really matters to you about your country. You may also want to include whether or not you think you would be a popular President. Wednesdays are my favorite day of the week because…Dig into what has happened in your life and really why any day of the week is your favorite.

The Class of 2000 'Could Have Been Anything.' Until Opioids Hit.
By Dan Levin Dec. 2, 2019
The Class of 2000 'Could Have Been Anything'
The high school yearbook is a staple of teenage life. But for some, it reflects the devastating toll of the opioid crisis.
Tony Cenicola/The New York Times
The Minford High School Class of 2000, in rural Minford, Ohio, began its freshman year as a typical class. It had its jocks and its cheerleaders, its slackers and its overachievers.
But by the time the group entered its final year, its members said, painkillers were nearly ubiquitous, found in classrooms, school bathrooms and at weekend parties.
Over the next decade, Scioto County, which includes Minford, would become ground zero in the state's fight against opioids. It would lead Ohio with its rates of fatal drug overdoses, drug-related incarcerations and babies born with neonatal abstinence syndrome.
To understand both the scope and the devastating consequences of what is now a public health crisis, we talked to dozens of members of the Class of 2000. Many opened up to us about struggles with addiction, whether their own or their relatives'. They told us about the years lost to getting high and in cycling in and out of jail, prison and rehab. They mourned the three classmates whose addictions killed them.
In all of the interviews, one thing was clear: Opioids have spared relatively no one in Scioto County; everyone appears to know someone whose life has been affected by addiction.
'OxyContin Just
Started Showing Up'
Purdue Pharma introduced its opioid painkiller, OxyContin, in 1996, when the Class of 2000 entered high school. Some students began experimenting, often combining prescription opiates with alcohol at parties.
For many, what started as a weekend dalliance morphed swiftly into an all-consuming dependence. They swallowed opiates before school, snorted painkillers in the bathrooms and crushed up pills with a baseball on desks at the back of classrooms.
"OxyContin just started showing up at parties around junior year. People wanted to try it. It was fun. It got to where kids were doing it in the parking lot before school. By senior year it was so common."
Ashley Moore was a cheerleader and a member of the honor society. Her sister became addicted and is now in recovery.
"I started seeing a lot of pills around 15 years old and I told myself I was never going to do them. But kids were selling Oxys at school for $3 a pill. By the time I was 19, I was looking in every medicine cabinet and bathroom. All of my close friends, we all turned into drug addicts."
Jonathan Whitt was on the golf team and became addicted to painkillers when he was 16. At 28, he switched to intravenous opioid use and then heroin. He has been jailed at least 10 times and has done multiple stints in rehab. He has been in recovery for four years.
Matt Eich for The New York Times
"I had orthopedic surgery and managed to go to a home basketball game. Hanging out with some classmates, I had one kid approach me, ask about my surgery, then ask if I had pills to add to the collection. I declined and he went off to a small group and started handing out pills. I never carried any drugs with me because of the issues we had in Minford."
Christopher Henry moved to Minford when he was a sophomore and said he saw students exchanging or taking pills at church and at parties. He worked for 10 years at pharmacies and said they were often robbed for opiate painkillers. A relative from his previous marriage was addicted to opioids.
Evan Jenkins for The New York Times
"My first encounter with drugs was one day at lunch. They were snorting pills on the bleachers. I had no idea people even snorted pills. My friend said they snort them to get high faster. Then you started having people overdosing. Before I knew it, people who were in high school doing drugs just to be cool, they had a real problem."
Miranda McGinnis was football homecoming queen and still lives in Minford. Though she said she never tried drugs, a relative is in recovery.
Addiction Knows
Over the next decade, many members of the Class of 2000 spent their 20s getting college degrees and starting families. Others did anything they could to avoid withdrawal.
Friends and relatives began overdosing or getting arrested, or both. Some went to prison. Some became drug dealers and said they were now plagued with guilt at having fueled countless addictions.
In 2010, Scioto County would lead Ohio in the number of opioid prescriptions, with enough to give 123 pills to each resident.
"The consequences started happening in college. By this point I was physically dependent on OxyContin, but it was very easy to tell myself, 'I don't do crack, I don't shoot up.' That messed me up for a really long time."
Jake Bradshaw was a member of the baseball and soccer teams. His opioid addiction, which at one point cost him $400 a day, led to heroin and cocaine and continued through multiple stints in rehab and jail. In recovery since 2013, he founded the blog "Humans of Addiction" and is now working in the drug treatment industry.
"Pain management was part of treatment. I went to school and noticed if I took two pills instead of one, my day was a little bit better. The doctor kept prescribing them; I kept taking them. I was 21 when I got clean. I actually got arrested and went to outpatient treatment. I didn't want to go to prison, I didn't want to die."
Melissa Pace was in high school chorus and a class officer. She was prescribed opioids after a car accident her senior year. She is now a critical care paramedic and has treated several of her former classmates for overdoses.
"The year after I graduated, my best friend and I noticed other kids in our friend group were getting into car wrecks. She and I are the only ones who haven't been to rehab, haven't lost our kids. We look back and think, 'How did we not get addicted to this stuff?' Because every single person in our group of friends got addicted."
Jessica Daugherty was a homecoming attendant and in the school's vocational track. She said she tried opioids but didn't like the taste. Several of her cousins are addicted to drugs, including one who is now in prison for the second time.
"It didn't matter what your social status was because everyone was doing OxyContin. I got into a car wreck in '99 and the doctor prescribed me liquid Vicodin. Then someone introduced me to Oxys when I was 21. I went to a bar when I was 23, high on Xanaxes, Oxy, alcohol. I got into a fight and did seven years in the penitentiary. When I got out, I stayed away from everybody. That's what saved me."
Ralph Boggs played baseball and basketball. At least 10 of his family members have been addicted to drugs.
"I don't remember a lot of high school because I was messed up on drugs. By senior year, I realized I had a problem. I had one good friend in high school who helped me through it. Once I got cleaned up, other people were getting into it heavy. I kind of stay away from the area. It's heartbreaking to even go back. For me, once you're truly recovered you have to fight to stay clean."
Melissa Kratzenberg was in the honor society, marching band and art club. She started using pain pills as a freshman and stopped after she drank nearly an entire bottle of liquid hydrocodone when she was a senior. Several relatives have struggled with drugs, one of whom died after 20 years of addiction.
Jessica Tezak for The New York Times
'We Could Have
Been Anything'
For the Minford High School Class of 2000, the opioid crisis is personal. Its members feel it daily when they remember those who died from overdoses, or those who continue to struggle with addiction.
Since this class graduated, more than 400,000 Americans have died from opioid overdoses. As many as 275 have died in Scioto County.
"I just remember getting that call. They are calling it an overdose, cocaine, which was not his drug of choice. I have a brother-in-law who died a month later, and we have another still in active addiction, we're afraid he's going to go, too. We lost five in three months. The craziest thing is we never lost anybody significant until I got sober, then everybody started dying. I have a book full of obituaries."
Dawnielle Bravo said her brother Daniel Bravo, who was a member of the language club and football and baseball teams, started using drugs when he was about 12. He spent time in prison and fatally overdosed in June 2018, leaving behind one child. The mother of his son also died of an overdose, as have many of his cousins. Several family members remain addicted, and Dawnielle has been in recovery for four years.
"I go to recovery meetings every Wednesday. I tell them stories about my addiction and how I had the will to get clean. But I feel guilt in different ways, for sharing and offering to people who I know have gone way too far with it. To this day I ask God for forgiveness."
Lee Easter played on the high school baseball and soccer teams. He started smoking marijuana when he was 9 and became addicted to opioids his freshman year. He soon began dealing drugs, including cocaine and heroin. He was 30 and high on a mix of painkillers and whiskey when he was in an accident. He has been in recovery for three years.
"When I worked at the sheriff's department I started seeing my classmates, a lot of them. When they come through here, we kind of reminisce, talk about how we're approaching 40 years old, and catch up on family. If they're really bad into drugs you can see it."
Kasey Boone played soccer and was in the school musical. He enlisted in the military but later returned to Minford and joined law enforcement. He became a probation officer in 2013, and said he has seen about 15 percent of his classmates on probation and more than 20 percent at the jail. Several of his relatives have become addicted to opioids — one is in prison and another fatally overdosed.
"I don't think there is anyone who hasn't been affected."
Jillian Salisbury was voted "Most Likely To Succeed" and became a veterinarian. Two of her cousins have been to prison for addiction-related convictions and another cousin fatally overdosed.
"I don't think I noticed how bad it was until after we graduated. We started hearing so-and-so died of an overdose, so-and-so is on drugs. Oh my God, it's a lot of my classmates."
Stephanie Twinam was in Bible club, chorus and honor society. While she never did drugs, she and her husband have permanent custody of their nieces, one of whom was born dependent on heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine. One of her cousins became addicted to drugs.
"It's been eight years and I still miss that feeling of being high. So many of my best friends are either dead or in a wheelchair from drugs. We were like a group of siblings. You just see so much sadness. We could have been anything, done anything."
Brooklyn Frazie was senior prom queen and a member of the Bible club and chorus. She first tried painkillers the summer after graduation and became a drug dealer to finance her addiction, which spiraled into injecting heroin. She spent much of her 20s cycling in and out of jail and prison, and has been in recovery since 2011. Nearly 10 of her cousins are also recovering from addiction.
Maddie McGarvey for The New York Times
"I teach English. Sometimes they write about it, sometimes I know about it because there's a note in their file, 'Dad's not allowed to pick them up because Dad's on drugs,' or they'll be moved out of home and placed into foster care."
Katie Hall was in Bible club and honor society. She does not recall seeing any drug use during high school. But she is now a high school teacher and sees the impact on her students, some of whom have parents using opioids. Two of her family members have struggled with addiction.
"We've lost so many kids, not just in my grade, all the grades around my age, because of drugs. I'm raising a niece because of the drug problem. It got real bad a couple of years after we graduated. But I never left. There are so many good people here."
Brian Slusher has several cousins who became addicted, including one who died in July, and another who took his life. Since January, he has been raising his brother-in-law's 16-year-old daughter because her parents are struggling with addiction.
The New York Times tried reaching every one of the 110 members of the Class of 2000. Of the 49 classmates — or relatives of classmates — who were interviewed, 15 reported a current or former addiction to opioids.
At least 37 have family members who are grappling with addiction or are in recovery. At least 10 said they have been arrested or incarcerated for crimes related to their addiction. And three class members died of overdoses or from drug-related causes.
The interviews were edited for brevity and clarity.

East to the north side of Nottingham to deliver Christmas presents and visit my aunt and uncle and stay with my aunt in Hucknall. She recommended a very good Thai restaurant and we all crashed out fairly early. Before we left in the morning, my decluttering attempts failed again when she gave me several bound copies of the National Geographic (1948 through to the 1950s). James was very keen to go the the huge Newark antique fair so we headed northeast, passing Southwell (worth another look at some point) and found the fair. It is huge and another thing ticked off in 'A thousand things to see before you die'. I was not tempted but James found a lovely vintage silk tie. The storm was approaching fast and traders began packing up as we left, with things starting to fly all over the place. We had not been tracking its progress as we had not had the TV, computer or radio on at Aunty Mary's. We decided that small roads (more likely to have fallen trees) were best avoided and headed up the A1 to our planned stop in Alnwick. Needless to say we made very slow progress until we got past the M62. Southbound there was a truck on its side but no explanation for our very slow progress northbound. Eventually we arrived to a very warm welcome. Had dinner in town and the weather had unfortunately put a chill on the late night Christmas shopping Alnwick had planned. Very few people around but, as the first customers in one shop – not only did we sip some mulled wine but they were so pleased to see us they gave us a discount on the gift we bought. Will keep quiet about what it was in case the recipient reads this. Tomorrow the spending might be more and decluttering will not apply as I hit Barter Books in the old station before heading up to Edinburgh.

Why I Am Agnostic (Part II)
By: Robert Green Ingersoll
From my childhood I had heard read, and read the Bible myself. Morning and evening the sacred volume was opened and prayers were said. The Bible was my first history, the Jews were the first people, and the events narrated by Moses and the other inspired writers, and those predicted by prophets were the all important things. In other books were found the thoughts and dreams of men, but in the Bible were the sacred truths of God.
Yet in spite of my surroundings, of my education, I had no love for God. He was so saving of mercy, so extravagant in murder, so anxious to kill, so ready to assassinate, that I hated him with all my heart. At his command, babes were butchered, women violated, and the white hair of trembling age stained with blood. This God visited the people with pestilence -- filled the houses and covered the streets with the dying and the dead -- saw babes starving on the empty breasts of pallid mothers, heard the sobs, saw the tears, the sunken cheeks, the sightless eyes, the new made graves, and remained as pitiless as the pestilence.
This God withheld the rain -- caused the famine, saw the fierce eyes of hunger -- the wasted forms, the white lips, saw mothers eating babes, and remained ferocious as famine.
It seems to me impossible for a civilized man to love or worship, or respect the God of the Old Testament. A really civilized man, a really civilized woman, must hold such a God in abhorrence and contempt.
But in the old days the good people justified Jehovah in his treatment of the heathen. The wretches who were murdered were idolaters and therefore unfit to live.
According to the Bible, God had never revealed himself to these people and he knew that without a revelation they could not know that he was the true God. Whose fault was it then that they were heathen?
The Christians said that God had the right to destroy them because he created them. What did he create them for? He knew when he made them that they would be food for the sword. He knew that he would have the pleasure of seeing them murdered.
As a last answer, as a final excuse, the worshipers of Jehovah said that all these horrible things happened under the "old dispensation" of unyielding law, and absolute justice, but that now under the "new dispensation," all had been changed -- the sword of justice had been sheathed and love enthroned. In the Old Testament, they said. God is the judge -- but in the New, Christ is the merciful. As a matter of fact, the New Testament is infinitely worse than the Old. In the Old there is no threat of eternal pain. Jehovah had no eternal prison -- no everlasting fire. His hatred ended at the grave. His revenge was satisfied when his enemy was dead.
In the New Testament, death is not the end, but the beginning of punishment that has no end. In the New Testament the malice of God is infinite and the hunger of his revenge eternal.
The orthodox God, when clothed in human flesh, told his disciples not to resist evil, to love their enemies, and when smitten on one cheek to turn the other, and yet we are told that this same God, with the same loving lips, uttered these heartless, these fiendish words; "Depart ye cursed into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels."
These are the words of "eternal love."
No human being has imagination enough to conceive of this infinite horror.
All that the human race has suffered in war and want, in pestilence and famine, in fire and flood, -- all the pangs and pains of every disease and every death -- all this is as nothing compared with the agonies to be endured by one lost soul.
This is the consolation of the Christian religion. This is the justice of God -- the mercy of Christ.
This frightful dogma, this infinite lie, made me the implacable enemy of Christianity. The truth is that this belief in eternal pain has been the real persecutor. It founded the Inquisition, forged the chains, and furnished the fagots. It has darkened the lives of many millions. It made the cradle as terrible as the coffin. It enslaved nations and shed the blood of countless thousands. It sacrificed the wisest, the bravest and the best. It subverted the idea of justice, drove mercy from the heart, changed men to fiends and banished reason from the brain.
Like a venomous serpent it crawls and coils and hisses in every orthodox creed.
It makes man an eternal victim and God an eternal fiend. It is the one infinite horror. Every church in which it is taught is a public curse. Every preacher who teaches it is an enemy of mankind. Below this Christian dogma, savagery cannot go. It is the infinite of malice, hatred, and revenge.
Nothing could add to the horror of hell, except the presence of its creator, God.
While I have life, as long as I draw breath, I shall deny with all my strength, and hate with every drop of my blood, this infinite lie.
Nothing gives me greater joy than to know that this belief in eternal pain is growing weaker every day -- that thousands of ministers are ashamed of it. It gives me joy to know that Christians are becoming merciful, so merciful that the fires of hell are burning low -- flickering, choked with ashes, destined in a few years to die out forever.
For centuries Christendom was a madhouse. Popes, cardinals, bishops, priests, monks and heretics were all insane.
Only a few -- four or five in a century were sound in heart and brain. Only a few, in spite of the roar and din, in spite of the savage cries, heard reason's voice. Only a few in the wild rage of ignorance, fear and zeal preserved the perfect calm that wisdom gives.
We have advanced. In a few years the Christians will become -- let us hope -- humane and sensible enough to deny the dogma that fills the endless years with pain. They ought to know now that this dogma is utterly inconsistent with the wisdom, the justice, the goodness of their God. They ought to know that their belief in hell, gives to the Holy Ghost -- the Dove -- the beak of a vulture, and fills the mouth of the Lamb of God with the fangs of a viper.


Congratulations! Sounds like a wonderful listing and opportunity for any buyer! Best wishes for a quick sale.
Hi Gerri, This looks like a great home. There are many desirable features that will attract potential buyers. I am sure you will have it sold soon.

Sudan Signs Historic Peace Deal with Rebel Groups
Sudan's transitional government has signed a historic peace agreement Monday with the Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF), a coalition of rebel groups from the regions of Darfur, Southern Kordofan, and the Blue Nile. The ceremony took place in South Sudan's capital, Juba.The agreement made after a year of talks hosted by South Sudan raises hopes of ending more than 17 years of war. It offers power sharing, integration into security forces, land rights, and the return of those displaced from years of conflict. Two rebel factions within the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM) and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) refused to take apart in the peace process. But Sudan's transitional government spokesman Fasial Salih still praised the deal. He says peace is the first priority out of ten issues the transitional government has determined to begin [addressing]. He says since last September a delegation went to Juba and announced the Juba Declaration. Salih says the transitional government is happy to accomplish this step but they are aware that still more rounds of talks will be needed with the SLM and SPLM-N to hopefully achieve a comprehensive peace. The rebels fought troops sent by former president Omar al-Bashir, who was ousted by the military in April 2019 after months of popular protest and replaced with a joint military-civilian government. Bashir is serving jail time for corruption and is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for genocide and crimes against humanity in Darfur. Sudan's delegation to Monday's signing ceremony included Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and the head of the transitional sovereign council, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan. But the deal was signed by Sudan's commander of fighters in the conflict, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, known as Hemeti, who rights groups say committed many of the abuses in Darfur.  Hemeti and Burhan were also blamed for attacks against anti-Bashir protesters in Khartoum in June 2019 that left over 120 people dead. Protest leaders agreed to a power-sharing deal with the military whereby Sudan is to hold its first democratic election in decades in 2022.

COVID-19 not slowing $1.5 million Thompson Garage expansion in Sparks
Thompson Garage Doors' expansion project, seen here Feb. 18, includes the construction of a 16,200-square-foot warehouse at its location at 171 S. 18th St. in Sparks.

SPARKS, Nev. — For many Northern Nevada companies, their blueprints to expand in 2020 have been stowed away — or outright tossed — amid the economy-crushing coronavirus pandemic.
That's the not the case for one longtime Sparks-based business.
Thompson Garage Doors, which has been serving Northern Nevada for over 60 years, is in the middle of wrapping up a $1.5 million expansion project.
Breaking ground in early December 2019, the undertaking includes construction of a warehouse and the major overhaul and expansion of its current showroom in Sparks.
"It hasn't slowed down," owner Kenneth Reyman said of the project in mid-April. "That process has been able to keep moving straight ahead and finish the project, and be able to do it within the government's guidelines. We're happy it was in the works, and that it's getting finished here in the next month."
Specifically, Thompson Garage Doors is consolidating its showroom at 600 S. Rock Blvd. in Sparks with its primary location at 171 S. 18th St. in Sparks.
The company first staked a flag on Rock Boulevard in 2014 after acquiring Berger Building Supply and started selling entry reentry doors.
After five years of manning two businesses roughly a half-mile a part, Reyman said he was motivated to improve the company's customer service by showcasing all its products in one spot.
"We realized we had customers coming into our location on 18th looking at reentry doors, or customers looking for garage doors at our Rock location," Reyman said. "We realized this is not good customer service, so we started looking at ways we could work at one location."
Construction crews work on Feb. 18 on Thompson Garage Doors' expansion project, which broke ground on Dec. 4, 2019, and has a price tag of $1.5 million.
In response, Reyman said, Thompson Garage Doors purchased an old mobile home park that adjoins its 18th Street property. There, crews have been building a 16,200-square-foot warehouse — with a 3,500-square-foot mezzanine — that will include a millwork shop, a welding and fabrication shop and an expanded storage area that will allow the company to double its inventory.
Expanding its inventory in-house, Reyman said, will drastically cut down on customer wait time.
In addition, the company is remodeling and expanding its showroom to showcase its state-of-the-art garage doors and its inventory of entry and reentry doors previously housed in its Rock Boulevard location.
Sparks-based Reyman Brothers Construction, of which Kenneth Reyman is a principal, is doing the work on the project.
"Now, customers can come to one location and take care of any doors they need to get, replaced or repaired," said Reyman, who's owned Thompson Garage Doors since 1989.

Another major benefit, Reyman said, is having his entire team working out of the same location.
"It's easier to be on the same page in terms of what we're doing, how we're taking care of customers, and making sure there are no areas we're failing in," he said. "So we're all looking forward to all being on the same lot — you get more of a team effort when everybody is at the same place looking out for one another."
When asked, Reyman said there are no immediate plans to hire more employees once the project is finished.
The Thompson Garage owner said the expansion should help increase the company's business once the Nevada economy opens back up, adding: "A lot of times people will come in looking for a garage door and say, 'Oh, you guys also do reentry doors?' and vice-versa."
To that end, Reyman said he expects the overhaul to result in an immediate increase of 10-15% in revenue. It's a boost Thompson Garage Doors — which Reyman said generated about $7.5 million in revenue in 2019 — is looking forward to coming out of the COVID-19 crisis, which has slowed down the company's business across the board.
After all, "people aren't leaving their garages, their doors aren't being used, so they don't need to be repaired by us," Reyman said. "And it's slowed down the new sales also in the sense that everybody is uncertain to when this is going to turn around, so they are more reluctant to spend any discretionary money, so it's definitely impacted us in that sense."
Throughout the pandemic, Thompson Garage Doors, deemed an essential business, has continued answering emergency calls regarding door repairs, while following CDC safety and sanitation guidelines, according to Reyman.
Once the state shutdown lifts, Reyman said Thompson Garage Doors is looking forward to seeing its customers face-to-face again.
"Before, we were very interacted with the customer because we are a very customer-oriented, friendly company," he said. "Now, it's pretty much all mechanical; that interactive that builds relationships is just not there."

And don't miss the birth of a brand new threat. (W) Robert Venditti. (A) Billy Tan, Rob Hunter, Jon Sibal. Cover by Billy Tan.


In this recent tragedy, the Commonwealth of Virginia can be sued for negligent highway design, and the driver for negligent driving.
By C. James Williams III, Principal attorney, Hopewell, Midlothian.
When I advise clients about the laws governing motor vehicle accidents, I am occasionally asked: Can the government be included in the claim against the driver? This question usually comes up when someone believes that the roadway could have been more carefully designed. The answer to the question is: Yes – under the right circumstances. This week's Prince George County bus accident tragedy is a good example.
In most motor vehicle accidents, human error is the lead factor. No matter how safely a car is designed, a driver's mistake is usually the key element in causing the victim's injuries, and in personal injury law that driver is held responsible for the damages. But in some cases, design flaws in the vehicle can cause an accident, in which case the car company may be held responsible for a victim's injuries, as Audi was in the "sudden acceleration" cases in the mid-1980s.
Somewhat similarly, mistakes in highway design can cause accidents, or be an additional cause of an accident, along with driver error.
My family's roots are in Prince George County, dating all the way back to before World War II, which means that I'm familiar with just about every corner of the county. I frequently drive past and on the exit where this week's bus accident happened, and I remember being confused the first time I took it. My confusion came from the fact that Exit 45, as you approach it, appears to be a ramp for interstate I-295, not an exit to a secondary county road. It would be easy for anyone to make the mistake of approaching the exit at an unsafe speed if the route was unfamiliar.
The facts of this accident are still being collected, but from the information reported in the newspapers, in my opinion it seems that not only is the driver potentially at fault for speeding, but so is the Commonwealth of Virginia for creating an unsafe situation with confusing signage. The bus driver may not have slowed sufficiently because (like many of us before him) he believed he was merging onto another interstate highway rather than slowing for a sharp turn to a county road.
All of this means that if you are involved in a highway truck accident, or car accident that is not your fault, you should be sure to ask your attorney whether highway design might have contributed to the accident. If it was a contributing cause, you may have a federal or state tort claims act to pursue – in addition to any claim you may have against the driver responsible for the crash.

Willow Creek Church Says No Rules Were Broken in Hiring Tullian Tchividjian

Responding to public criticism concerning his hiring of Billy Graham's grandson, Tullian Tchividjian, senior pastor of Willow Creek Church in Winter Springs, Florida, Kevin Labby, said Wednesday that no church rules were broken in hiring Tchividjian who was deposed by the Presbyterian Church last month.
"As a member of the Presbyterian Church in America, I proactively reached out to the South Florida Presbytery through the chairman of the committee overseeing Tullian's care and discipline process. I wanted to make sure that we were pursuing this course decently and in good order," wrote Labby in a letter sent to blogger Tony Arsenal, a graduate of Bethel University and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, who remains opposed to Tchividjian's hiring.
Willow Creek Church recently announced Tchividjian's appointment as director of ministry development on its website. This coming less than two weeks after he filed for divorce from his wife, Kim, about three weeks since he was deposed by the Presbyterian Church, and about two months since he resigned from Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Florida due to an extramarital affair.
The announcement caused consternation in some church circles but Labby sought to tamp down those concerns in his letter on Wednesday.
"We received an encouraging word that while Tullian was indeed deposed from the office of teaching elder, he was not excommunicated or given further censure. I was very clear in our intent, and nothing in the conversation led me to believe that we were circumventing the South Florida Presbytery's decision," explained Labby.

"We proceeded in good faith. If we were mistaken, it was a joint error. However, and more importantly, I am confident that our system of government can accommodate the error and correct it in a manner that promotes Tullian's growth in grace and the peace and purity of Christ's Church — all with gentleness and respect," he continued.
"The position offered to Tullian is a non-ordained, support position. Recognizing his deposition from office, it does not involve any functions unique to the office of elder in general or teaching elder in particular. It provides him a community of grace in which to work and worship; the means to provide for his family; and an opportunity to display his repentance before the body of Christ. For these reasons, we are overjoyed and eager to welcome him into our church family," added Labby.
On Aug. 11, about two weeks before Tchividjian filed for divorce, the South Florida Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in America voted to depose or strip Tchividjian of his ordination credentials due to the turmoil in his personal life. This move prevents him from performing duties as a minister of the Gospel.
"While Pastor Tullian Tchividjian was deposed of his pastoral credentials, the South Florida Presbytery is committed to continuing to offer him pastoral care. Our goal in doing this is to both protect the integrity of the Church from which his credentials were given while, at the same time, wrapping Tullian in the grace offered by Jesus Christ to all those who confess sin, pursue repentance and desire restoration," the Presbytery noted in a statement on their decision.

The Handmaid's Tale was the feminist dystopian drama that made headlines in 2017, plunging viewers into a world where women have been stripped of their voices, identities and control over their own bodies.
So it may have felt a little too close to the bone when Elisabeth Moss – who played titular handmaid, Offred, in the show – found herself censored during her acceptance speech for Best Actress in a Drama at Sunday night's Emmy Awards.
When Moss stepped up to pick up her gong, she made a point of thanking Hulu, the academy, her fellow nominees, the cast, and the crew – essentially, everyone who has supported her during her years in the film industry (she has been acting since she was eight).
Moss then went on to single out her mother, delivering a powerful and heartfelt thank-you to the woman who raised her.
And it was at this point that the actor found herself bleeped out.
For those still wondering, Moss' exuberant message to her mother included a curse word, which is why CBS made a point of silencing her.
"Thank-you for teaching me that you can be kind and a f**king badass," she said – a sentiment well worth sharing, in our humble opinion.
She added that she swore only because her win had taken her completely by surprise, explaining: "I was just trying to remember everybody. And you really do have a weird out-of-body experience. It's always a surprise.
The Handmaid's Tale cleaned up at Sunday night's awards show, earning five honours, including best drama series and best directing for Morano.
Which means that, yeah, it's well worth watching if you haven't done so already. To your televisions, all of you!

A Writers Dilemma during a Classical Music Concert
