On this night of August 21st the men of the Nazi party were in celebration. That day they had signed a pact with Russia that in effect had paved the way for Hitler’s next conquest; Poland. As Adolf Hitler and his entourage stepped on the terrace of this mountain retreat they were greeted with a rare display of the Northern Lights dancing in the sky. Albert Speer would later reflect on how these lights bathed everyone on the terrace with an eerie red glow....

A woman seduces you, leaves you naked and takes off with your valuables, including your car. Police say that's just what Ashley Dawson did to an unsuspecting man. The alleged victim, Andrew Scarbrough, says it appears he went looking for love in all the wrong places, including the Internet. He hoped he'd found love when he met a woman on MySpace. The two met in person, and they went back to his place. He says they began to get intimate, and shedding their clothes. That's when things went wrong in... 2news.tv http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2418849/posts#comment Fri, 1 Jan 2010 07:22:40 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2418844/posts Welcome To....

IDG News Service said at least five iPhone software programs related to the Tibetan spiritual leader are unavailable in Apple's China App Store along with one related to Kadeer. IDG, publisher of Macworld, Computerworld, PC World and other magazines, said the move would make Apple the latest US technology giant to censor its services in China.

The CIA said on Thursday a further six agents had been injured in the attack. Claiming credit for the attack, a Taliban spokesman said the bomber was "an Afghan national army officer wearing a suicide vest".

If the previous committee was "too politicized" to permit its continued existence -- its big sin was to press for establishing universal, easily understood, quantifiable academic standards -- then what are we to make of way the Obama administration is loading up the newly formed NACIQI with diversity advocates and left-wing activists?

According to a blog post by former Google China president Kai-Fu Lee, Apple plans to produce nearly 10 million tablets in the still-unannounced product's first year. Lee worked for Apple more than ten years ago and left Google earlier this year, according to published reports. That figure--10 million--seems awfully high for a consumer product that's charting unknown territory. The tablet (or iSlate or iPad, if you prefer) would target an untapped market, if rumors of the device's form and...

This once-every-ten-years benchmark presents a great opportunity to not only launch a new direction for the coming year but also for the whole new decade as well. The direction we would like our lives to take and the pathway we are preparing are going to be largely determined by the composition of the matter we journey over as well as the faith we will need to live by over the next 120 months. Faith is the DNA ingredient that Christians possess and is therefore a powerful transformative force for good in...

The Council’s acceptance of the Goldstone Report condemning Israel for self-defence adopts the Islamic view in which jihadist attacks are commended but the resistance of those aggressed upon is taken to be aggression against Allah’s rights. Having lost its legitimacy according to the permanently...

Arch’s son Arch Hall Jr. would star in six of his father’s productions from 1959-1964. These films would be completed before Arch Hall Jr. turned 21. After starring in his father’s films, Arch would leave the film industry to become a pilot. Yet, the films he acted in would remain cult classics. In the first three films Arch did for his father, Arch would not only act, but also sing and play guitar in them as well. In 1962’s Eegah, Arch gets... http://jeffcramer.blogspot.com/ http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2418772/posts#comment Fri, 1 Jan 2010 03:05:21 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2418762/posts PINGING THE COMRADES and SICK TWISTED FREAKS and those of THE ILK!
