Published on Jan 13, 2013 :: Could a possible "executive order" be on the horizon that has an effect of your second amendment rights?  On January 19th, you all need to gather at your state capital at noon to show your despise for this blatant attempt to circumvent the legislative process that makes our Country great. Obama is acting a lot more like a dictator than he is a Commander and Chief. We must show our support for our second amendment rights, and stand clearly in the way and say "NO!" to every attempt that is made to infringe upon those rights. ||Gun Gripes Episode 56: 2013 New York Safe Act. Published on Jan 27, 2013 :: The 2013 New York Safe Act. The most unconstitutional piece of legislation I have ever seen. This is some real though police material. They are retroactively labeling you as a criminal just because you own a gun. Never mind the liberal extreme left media publishing the locations of known gun owners in the area, many of which had their home broken into as a result. I think that the gun owners of this Country have had their backs against the wall long enough. We have to fight this to the furthest reach we can. It begins with educating the anti-gun populace and making them understand that we are not a bunch of crazies. We have to promote firearms sports in a humane and positive light. We must provide expert and knowledgeable training to those that need it. More importantly, we have to get young people involved in the sport of hunting and recreational shooting, but also emphasis the fact that the 2nd amendment is not about only those things. We have to respect the 2nd amendment for what it is and what it has the potential to be if more legislation passes like it did in New York.

Now the story of the three young women who took on powerful institutions when they protested against President Vladimir Putin's close ties with the church is being told in a documentary. 'Pussy Riot - A Punk Prayer' has premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to a sold-out Park City crowd, and it's an important project according to co-director Maxim Pozdorovkin. SOUNDBITE: Maxim Pozdorovkin, co-director, saying (English): "One of the things we felt is that, whereas in the West it was understood to be mostly a political human rights story and in Russia it was understood almost exclusively as a religious hooliganism, religious hatred story. In reality the story is so much bigger and so much richer and so epic, and I don't use that word lightly." The band's performance led to their arrest on charges of religious hatred and culminated in a trial that has reverberated around the world. The court found all three women guilty and sentenced them to two years in prison, although one later had her punishment converted to a suspended sentence. The documentary follows band members and their families as they struggle through Russia's legal system. US viewers will likely see the film on HBO, which purchased the TV rights during the festival.

Cambodia HIV/Aids patients come out of isolation - 28 January 2013  :: In Cambodia, until recently, people living with the Aids virus were treated as social outcasts. Most people refused to share food with them and in many cases avoided contact all together. For people like Lay Sarin, once a relatively prosperous rice farmer who contracted the virus from her husband, her life became one of almost total isolation as fearful villagers excluded her from almost every facet of normal life. Now, thanks to the Buddhist Leadership Initiative - a joint UNICEF and Cambodian Government training scheme that places traditional Buddhist pagodas and the country's more than 50,000 monks at the centre of a redemptive healing process - life is slowly returning to normal. VIDEO journalist: Nick Wood.

"Thank you for your perception! I like your romantic side, even if I do not always comment and I'm glad that you're in my circle of friends."
(Courtesies by: Wolfgang A. Gerhardt)

Wolfgang A.Gerhardt : May be you like this Sunday collage

Cisca Zarmansyah : Before today, there never was a person doing this to me. You create a simple matter to look special. This is a special thing for me.

Cisca Zarmansyah : Thank you. I love it. I love you, my friend.

CieL- FreYa Ceastle : Hmm, he's so nice...















"I am me.
In all the world,
there is no one else exactly like me.
Everything that comes out of me
is authentically mine,
because I alone chose it --
I own everything about me:
my body,
my feelings,
my mouth,
my voice,
all my actions,
whether they be to others or myself.
I own my fantasies,
my dreams,
my hopes,
my fears.
I own my triumphs and successes,
all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me,
I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing,
I can love me
and be friendly with all my parts.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me,
and other aspects that I do not know
-- but as long as I am friendly
and loving to myself,
I can courageously and hopefully
look for solutions
to the puzzles and ways
to find out more about me.
However I look and sound,
whatever I say and do,
and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time
is authentically me.
If later some parts of how I looked,
sounded,
thought,
and felt
turn out to be unfitting,
I can discard that which is unfitting,
keep the rest,
and invent something new
for that which I discarded.
I can see,
hear,
feel,
think,
say, and do.
I have the tools to survive,
to be close to others,
to be productive,
and to make sense
and order out of the world of people
and things outside of me.
I own me,
and therefore,
I can engineer me.
I am me,
and I am okay."

VIRGINIA SATIR
(American Phychologist and Educator, 1916-1988)
