Why are they only now holding the Balibo inquest?
http://au.news.yahoo.com/070503/2/13bwb. html
Those journalists were killed decades ago… I don’t understand why it is in the news again.


While there are still families of the journalists and while fresh evidence keeps coming up.. there needs to be an inquest. For the longest of time, nobody ( but those in the know) knew exactly what happened….

I was in grade six when they went missing … I remember Shirley Shackleton, the wife of Greg Shackleton being on the news often speaking about how anguished she was .. One of the lads was the same age as my brother and I think that is why it has stayed so strongly in my mind ..
the length of time between an event occuring and the inquest doesn’t matter if there are still people who NEED and WANT answers

I do think though, despite the man having had one of this nation’s greatest minds, having poor OLD Gough Whitlam having to testify is a little harsh. BUT perhaps there is no other way .

Baader Meinhof Complex, The
Baader Meinhof Complex, The (2008)

IMDB rating: 7.40

Plot: Germany in the 1970s: Murderous bomb attacks, the threat of terrorism and the fear of the enemy inside are rocking the very foundations of the yet fragile German democracy. The radicalised children of the Nazi generation lead by Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Ensslin are fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment, many of whom have a Nazi past. Their aim is to create a more human society but by employing inhuman means they not only spread terror and bloodshed, they also lose their own humanity. The man who understands them is also their hunter: the head of the German police force Horst Herold. And while he succeeds in his relentless pursuit of the young terrorists, he knows he’s only dealing with the tip of the iceberg.

Finding a location in Berlin?
Hi

Is anybody Local to Berlin; or knows Berlin very well? I am travelling there in a few weeks and need to track a location down.

Ive seen the film "The Baader Meinhof Complex" and would like to see Ulrike Mienhof’s gravestone.
Ive been on Google Maps and tracked the location to:

Heilig-Kreuz-Kirchhof, Mariendorf,
Cemetery, which I believe is North of Tegel Airport.
Ive found U-Bhan stations around the area although they look a distance away. Does anybody know if the cemetery is in realistic walking distance; and how long it would take to walk from the nearest U-Bhan Station?

Also is the cemetery large; is her grave easy to locate. Ive tracked down its in "Zone A"? Does anybody know where that is in the cemetery?

Any help would be much appreciated
BT
UK


In reality Ulrike Meinhof is burried in the city of Stuttgart not in Berlin so you won’t find her gravestone there.
The burial was very controvers at the time the major of Stuttgart defended the right of the terrorists to get a burial place and said that with the dead even terrorists aren’t to be considered as public ennemies anymore

Lookout, The
Lookout, The (2007)

IMDB rating: 7.40

Plot: An admired high school hockey player (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) with a bright future foolishly takes a drive in the night with his girl friend and two other friends with his headlights off with devastating results. The former athlete is left with a brain injury that prevents him from remembering many things for extended periods of time. To compensate, he keeps notes in a small notebook to aid him in remembering what he is to do. He also lives with a blind friend (Jeff Daniels) who aids him. Obviously, with the mental incapacitation, he is unable to have meaningful work. Thus he works as a night cleaning man in a bank. It is there he comes under the scrutiny of a gang planning to rob the bank. The leader (Matthew Goode) befriends him and gets him involved with a young woman (Isla Fisher) who further reels him in. After they get close and after reeling him in with his own failures, the bank plan unfolds. Confused but wanting to escape his current existence, he initially goes along with the scheme. After realizing he is being used, he attempts to stop the robbery, which of course immediately goes awry. Bruce McGill and Alberta Watson also co-star as the young man’s parents, who still search for the person that was there before the tragic crash.

First chapter of my novel, rate please.?
"Don’t be late OK?" His mother said, David said no problem and went to his car, a Subaru Imprezza WRX that had been fully pimped out where his mates Tony, Alex and Kane waited. They were going to drive around and pick up a few chicks along the way and the mother said to her friend Alexa that she sometimes worried about David but Alexa said that he’ll be fine.

"Yo, Davo this is a fully sick ride mofo," Tony said and then Alex said "Yeh man" and Alex and Kane tended to agree with what Alex said cause he was a pretty cool guy and they said yes too. "We gonna be pimpin’ tonight boys," David said, who was originally from Italy but his parents moved to California when he was three years old.
"Hey man, let’s pick up Kellie, she’s up for anything," said one of the boys.
"Totally, man, I hear she’s up for bonin’ tonight," said another.
"Yeh, I heard it’s somethin’ to do with their climax ay."
"What the eff man, that’s wrong," said Alex, making a disgusted like face.
"I know, ay, shit’s dirty man. I don’t wanna wake up with a blood stained tool." smirked Kane disgustedly.
"You guys are idiots," said David, interjecting them, "that stuffhappens after. We’re right as rain boys!" Laughed David.
The boys got excited and beat the roof of the car in the heat of the moment.
"It’s going down like chinatown," said Kane and drummed on David’s headrest.
"Quit that, man," David commanded.

At Kellie’s house, Kellie was standing on her porch in a cocktail dress and all made up to look pretty.

"Hey beautiful," said David, as his car roared faintly.
"Hi!" Waved Kelly.
"You wann ride with us, girl?" Asked Alex. Kane was poking at his grabs which was making him smile like an idiot.
"Where you guys off to?" She asked.
"Wherever. We gonna party all night."
"Might as well," she said.

All the boys looked at Kellie as she approached their car, her breasts jiggling nicely in the warm Summer air.

"Move over Kane," said David.
Kane moved over and Kellie sat on the right.
"You sure you don’t wanna sit in the middle?" Asked Alex, who was sitting on the far left, between him was Kane and Kellie was on the right.
"No thanks, I’m good." And with that David sped down the quiet street, hoping for cop free streets.


wow you are really good Very talented i think you should like publish it online it would be a really good idea keep going. the first chapter means everything!!!!!!!! xoxo
JANE!!E | Feb 10, 2010


Honestly, people don’t talk to each other like that. If they did, they’d be the lamest group of friends.
Other than Kellie, all of your characters have the same personality – which means you haven’t really tried to define your characters.
To me it seems all of your characters talk in the same way.
Also you seem to scramble your describing words. "ROARED faintly" first you put the image of a roaring engine in my mind, then its only doing it quietly. Something like, the engine hummed. Also smirked Kane disgustedly. Kane smirked would’ve done well by itself.
Also the jiggling boobs shit? You stereotype males even tho (i think) you ARE one. If she’s all pretty in a cocktail dress she’s probably got nice hair, her figure is shown off in the dress, or a sweet smell to her. Remember to use all five of your sense, not just your dick and your eyes.
If you want to write a good story with characters that like to party all night in a car that (and I’m assuming they’re all young adults) is probably way outta their price range since they spend all their money on booze by the sounds of it, try and make your characters realistic, give them a personality other than your own and don’t make nor the girls or boys too stereotypical.
If your passionate about story writing, you’ll put your head into the real world, into the heads of your characters all of whom probably have experienced totally different things in their life time and work on your grammar and vocab, you’ll have what it takes.
Hope I didn’t seem too harsh. ;) Its constructive criticism.

Constant, yet random images of gore and blood?
I used to be very fascinated and obsessed with anything related to gore when I was a kid. After high school I was more obsessed with metaphysics than anything else. Now, anything that is linked to gore, even a dead animal on the street will get to me and almost cause me to have a mental break down.

These thought forms are random. I could be jumping around in a tub of candy and the thoughts will still come to haunt me!

Here’s what happened not too long ago when I was in the bathroom, I’d got flashes of thought forms that take over my vision, I was in the bathroom, but I can see what is in front, side and behind me, and a demon manifests through the wall like having you hand pushing through a white plastic bag, I get back to seeing with my eyes and then the flash takes over again and there is blood and body pieces everywhere in the bathroom. This is just small stuff. But still I hate it. I would have loved it as a kid.

I do not wish to be stuffed full of medications and I do not wish to be locked away in a mental institution. I’ve been there, done that, no use.

I want to know what I can do about this, and if this disorder has a name. Thank you.
I have been having a few mental breakdowns and panic attacks a day because of this.


You might have just traumatized your brain with those kind of thoughts, and need to work it through to yourself that those aren’t your normal thoughts.

You might actually need some therapy with this one, just for how deeply lodged it is in your brain.

I’m not sure what disorder this would be…
