After seeing that horrific husband of hers in Nazi gear,I was wondering if Sandra Bullock was anything like Jesse James.I mean,she is German after all.But,it appears that she is not a secret Nazi lover.Maybe her husband is into collecting Nazi memorabilia,but I don't think she's into that at all.Sandra wouldn't have chosen the beautiful,black baby that she is gazing adoringly at on the cover of People magazine if she were a xenophobe.
I love the fact that she adopted a baby that was from America.Instead of going to another continent,Sandra Bullock found a little angel right in New Orleans.There are plenty of children that are in need right here in the United States of America. I'm glad to see that Sandra realizes that.And kudos to her for getting rid of Jesse James for good.They are getting divorced.
Here's more from Essence:
"Sandra Bullock has had one heck of a year thus far. First the Oscar for "The Blind Side" then her husband Jesse James' scandalous affairs and now the revelation that she adopted a Black boy from New Orleans in January. She named him Louis Bardo Bullock. Cute name, and a great move for Sandy.
Bullock joins a small group of Hollywood celebs who have adopted Black children, like Steven Spielberg (son, Theo), Tom Cruise (son, Connor), Brangelina (daughter Zahara) and Madonna (son and daughter, Mercy and David).
Though they've been ridiculed (remember the debate about Zahara's hair?) and their motives questioned (do Black children really belong in a White household?) these celebs are really going against the grain of adoption trends."(END OF EXCERPT)
Since this discovery involves a evangelical Christian filmmaker,I have my doubts about the validity of the claim that Noah's Ark has finally been found.But,that's what filmmaker,Yeung Wing-cheung,says.He is 99.9% sure that is the case.I say that it would be cool if it is true.I am a lover of all great archaeological finds.And,I daresay,this would definitely be one of the most important historical discoveries ever.
Here's more on this interesting story from The Daily Mail:
"As believers in the literal truth of the Bible, they knew it was there.Even so, the explorers who say they found seven large wooden compartments beneath snow and volcanic debris near the peak of Mount Ararat can be forgiven their excitement.
'It's not 100 per cent that it is Noah's Ark, but we think it is 99.9 per cent that this is it,' said Yeung Wing-cheung, a filmmaker working with the 15-strong team of fundamentalist Christians exploring the Turkish mountain.
Noah's Ark
In the Bible, the story of Noah's Ark appears in chapters six to nine of the Book of Genesis.
It tells how God, spurred by the wickedness and corruption of man, vows to send a great cleansing flood. Deeming Noah to be the only righteous man worth saving, God commands him to build a vast ship, the ark - capable of saving himself, his family and a representation of the world's animals.
When Noah has completed his task, and God has sent 'two of every sort' of animal to the Ark, the flood waters rise until all mountains are covered and life (except fish) is destroyed. When the flood subsides, the animals leave the Ark and God vows to never again send a flood to destroy man.
The story can also be found in the texts of Judaism and Islam. Although considered a historical event, most scholars and archaeologists do not believe in a literal interpretation of the Ark story. The vessel was said to measure '300 cubits, by 50 cubits, by 30 cubits', which translates to up to 515ft long, 86ft wide and 52ft high.
They said wood taken from the site, which is more than 13,000ft above sea level, dates to 2,800BC. If it is the ark, the discovery would be the greatest in the history of archaeology and bear out one of the most famous stories in the Bible.
The team of Turks and Chinese researchers from Noah's Ark Ministries International in Hong Kong say they made the discovery on Ararat - the biblical resting place of the ark - in October
At a press conference yesterday to announce the discovery, another team member, Panda Lee, said: 'I saw a structure built with plank-like timber.
'Each plank was about eight inches wide. I could see tenons, proof of ancient construction predating the use of metal nails.
'We walked about 100 metres to another site. I could see broken wood fragments embedded in a glacier, and some 20 metres long.'
The structure had several compartments, some with wooden beams, the team said.
The wooden walls of one compartment were smooth and curved while the video shown by the explorers revealed doors, staircases and nails.
The team said the wood appeared to be cypress although, according to the Bible, the ark was built from gopher.
The group ruled out identifying the find as a human settlement, saying none had been found so high up in that area. They are keeping the exact location secret.
Four years ago and following a decade of research, U.S. national security analyst Porcher Taylor claimed a satellite image revealed a baffling 'anomaly' on the mountain's north-west corner that he believed to be the remains of the Ark.
But Mike Pitt, a British archaeologist, said the evangelical explorers had yet to produce compelling evidence.
He added: 'If there had been a flood capable of lifting a huge ship 4km up the side of a mountain 4,800 years ago, I think there would be substantial geological evidence for this flood around the world. And there isn't.'
I support boycotting Arizona because I think that immigration law they passed is quite racist.Despite what Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer says,this will open the door to legalized racial profiling.Anyone that has an accent in the state of Arizona better watch out.Especially if you are Hispanic.
I think that there has to be a better way to control illegal immigration than this.And until Arizona figures out what the right method is,I believe that we should all stop doing business with Arizona.
Boycott Arizona!
Here's more from CBS News:
"Lawmakers in San Francisco today will vote on a citywide boycott of the state of Arizona, in protest of its new illegal immigrant law that has spurred a backlash across the country.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday signed into law a measure that would require immigrants to carry documents verifying their immigration status. It would also require police officers to question a person about his or her immigration status if there is "reasonable suspicion" that person may be illegally in the country.
Activists and politicians in Arizona and elsewhere have vowed to continue fighting the law. While it is sure to face legal challenges, Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva (D) has also called for a boycott of his state's goods, services and tourism. In his call for the boycott, Grijalva cited an Arizona boycott in the 1990's that persuaded the state to recognize Martin Luther King Day.
Following that logic, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors today will consider a resolution that would call for the city to end any and all contracts with Arizona-based companies and to stop doing business with the state, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
"We want to send a message," Supervisor David Campos reportedly said to a rally gathered in front of San Francisco City Hall. "There are consequences when you target a whole people."
Campos said it's still unclear how exactly a boycott would impact San Francisco, the Chronicle reports, but he added, "We do know that we won't be sending any city employees to conferences in Arizona."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
