Whitwell, TN is a small, rural community of less than two thousand people nestled in the mountains of Tennessee. Its citizens are almost exclusively white and Christian. In 1998, the children of Whitwell Middle School took on an inspiring project, launched out of their principal's desire to help her students open their eyes to the diversity of the world beyond their insulated valley. What happened would change the students, their teachers, their families and the entire town forever… and eventually open hearts and minds around the world.

April 15th, 2007 - Please take a moment to remember those countless millions lost, those who fought to put this attrocoty to an end and those who are working hard to make sure we never forget.
The
haunting words of George Santayana reminds us that the lessons of
history are invaluable in determining the course of the future: "Those
who forget the past are condemned to repeat it."
The
Holocaust was the systematic annihilation of six million Jews by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis during World War 2. In 1933 approximately nine million
Jews lived in the 21 countries of Europe that would be military occupied
by Germany during the war. By 1945 two out of every three European Jews
had been killed by the Nazis. 1.5 million children were murdered. This figure includes more than 1.2 million
Jewish children, tens of thousands of Gypsy children and thousands of
handicapped children.
The Holocaust is a history of enduring horror and sorrow. It seems as though there is no spark of human concern, no act of humanity, to lighten that dark history. Read the story of Rivka Yosselevska, the story of the children of Bullenhuser Damm or the story the children of Izieu.

The
Pulp.Net: Long before TV, when movies were silent and radio was
rarely heard, the pulp magazines burst onto the scene. The cheaply
produced magazines offered an eager populace with a past time that
carried them to far–away places on adventures far beyond their everyday
lives.
Those stories live on in the brittle pages of the aging pulp magazines. Collected on these virtual pages of The Pulp.Net are articles and information about the pulps and scores of links to sites with even more details.
Steven Gray's "Reality Redefined."
What
do I mean when I say "Reality: Redefined?"
When I take photographs, I don't just want them to show what
happened; that's what photojournalism is for. I want to capture emotion. I want to show the happiness of a wedding, the glory of
a sunset, and the triumph of a graduating student. Real life often
brings you down, but I want to create photos that will make you
smile every time you see them. That is the reality I offer you.
My style is my own, a conglomeration of techniques learned from
every form of visual art, from photography to filmmaking. I am a
self-taught digital photographer, using high-quality Canon products
and Adobe software to give you the best images possible.
No assignment is too large or small. I specialize in portraiture,
band photography, landscapes, and events, but am also open to (and
very much enjoy) custom projects and assignments.
If you are interested in having me take photographs for you, please
contact me via
email for a list of prices and further contact information. I
will respond promptly!
Highest Regards, Steven
Fantastic Planet -
René Laloux's mesmerising psychedelic sci-fi animated feature won the Special
Jury Prize at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival and is a landmark of European
animation. Based on Stefan Wul's novel Oms en série [Oms by the Dozen], Laloux's
breathtaking vision was released in France as La Planète sauvage [The Savage
Planet]; in the USA as Fantastic Planet; and immediately drew comparisons to
Swift's Gulliver's Travels and Planet of the Apes (both the 1968 film and
Boule's 1963 novel). Today, the film can be seen to prefigure much of the work
of Hayao Miyazaki at Studio Ghibli (Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away) due to its
palpable political and social concerns, cultivated imagination, and memorable
animation techniques.
Fantastic Planet tells the story of Oms, a human-like species, kept as
domesticated pets by an alien race of blue giants called Draags. The story takes
place on the Draags' planet Ygam, where we follow our narrator, an Om called
Terr, from infancy to adulthood. He manages to escape enslavement from a Draag
learning device used to educate the savage Oms - and begins to organise an Om
revolt. The imagination invested in the surreal creatures, music and sound
design, and eerie landscapes, is immense and unforgettable. This release
includes the early LaLoux short The Snails.
Special Features: English Language version, Original Subtitled version, photo
gallery, trailer, Fantastic Laloux, the new 26 minute documentary on director
Rene Laloux, short animated film Les Escargots (The Snails), an animated segment
of Sean Lennon's music video for "Would I Be The One", inspired by Fantastic
Planet.
