Inside the Cinefamily Theater in Los Angeles, CA. Notice the portraitof Louise Brooks on the wall!"There’s a reason the name Louise Brooks elicits sighs every time it’s mentioned at the Cinefamily: her ferocious charisma and otherworldly beauty cemented her status as an icon well before she retired from the silver screen, at the age of 32. From her comic role opposite W.C. Fields to multiple turns as troubled, willful heroines in the films of legendary German Expressionist auteur G.W. Pabst, Brooks shines as an actress capable of endless nuance and versatility — as she understood the impact both her inner and outer beauty could bring to the screen. Here, in her second and final collaboration with Pabst, Brooks gives a delicately restrained performance as the naive daughter of a prosperous pharmacist who stuns her clan by becoming pregnant. After being put through the repressive reform school ringer, she escapes to a brothel where she becomes liberated and lives for the moment with radiant physical abandon. Pabst’s escalating nightmares are heightened by Brooks’ sensitive portrayal of a truly lost girl whose hard-earned redemption is as beautiful a vision as the star herself. Dir. G.W. Pabst, 1929, 35mm, 116 min. - See more at: http://www.cinefamily.org/films/the-silent-treatment/#the-silent-treatment-louise-brooks-in-diary-of-a-lost-girl"

July 29, 2013(CBS News) Pope Francis frankly discussed topics that have historically been controversial for the Catholic church aboard his flight back to the Vatican Monday, including homosexuality within the priesthood and the ordination of women as priests.When questioned on what his response would be upon learning that a cleric was gay, though not sexually active, the Argentinian-born pontiff said he wouldn't judge gay priests and explained, "You can't marginalize these people.""If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?" he said.The conciliatory comments represented a shift from his predecessor Pope Benedict XVI, who signed a document in 2005 saying that men with deeply rooted homosexual tendencies shouldn't be priest.However, he insisted that the ban of female priests will remain in tact, telling reporters the question was "definitively" answered by Pope John Paul II.Pope Francis was returning from his first foreign trip to Brazil. He told a crowd gathered for the farewell ceremony at the airport in Rio de Janeiro, "I leave with a soul filled with happy memories."On the tarmac Sunday night, the pontiff said his final goodbyes and gave one last blessing after delivering an open-air mass to three million Catholics gathered on Copacabana beach earlier in the day.The faithful were gathered in Brazil for World Youth Day, a bi-annual gathering of young Catholics from around the world -- the group performed a flashmob to welcome the pope as his helicopter landed."The homily was so amazing and so touching," California resident Kayleigh Lembke told CBS News' Adriana Diaz. She added, "So simple but so profound."Vatican officials are calling the trip a success and are hoping it will help invigorate the Catholic church.Accompanying video at http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505263_162-57595894/pope-francis-on-gay-clergy-who-am-i-to-judge/© 2013 CBS Interactive Inc.

He is the Pope. His role is make judgments. He might have exercised his authority as judge to determine that the gay clergy deserve a better deal. Doing that would indicate he is using the brain that God gave him and he intends to use it.Why do we have a Pope? We don't need really need one. Actually, why do we have priests?

It is come to my attention that in the past few weeks or since i announced V2.0 of this blog i have been mainly writing about Samsung topics. So today i would like to adjourn this matter and in the coming weeks i will write about other topics so stay tuned. Also in the end of the month there are also some very interesting articles which are being planned for. Going up to the statement in hand today, i am here announcing that in the coming weeks i am going to release two in depth articles about both the HTC One and Galaxy S4. Actually at first this article was just a 1 part article but then i thought than between these two device i really can't crown a better device overall so i decided to break the article up and these articles will direct you to why one device is better than the other, so its a win win situation of the fans of both devices. Additionally, before i can write anything out i must have my hands on with the HTC One so it can be fair as i already had my hands on with the Galaxy S4. This will take some time as i will be busy the whole of next week so, i'll just have to sneak some time off to go to the HTC store and try out the HTC One.

http://youtu.be/fokIZnsmBNYSo to sum up where the drug-warriors are now the people who are in favor of the War on Drugs. Even though they've admitted the War on Drugs is not working. Is that if we legalize marijuana, cocaine or heroin would be next. Even though there's no polling data that suggests, except for maybe if you poll. Cocaine or heroin dealers that if we were to legalize marijuana, that there would be a move to legalize cocaine or heroin next. Another argument that I heard from Jason Taylor was that if we can't stop thieves and other types of crimes not relating to drugs. We might as well just legalize those activities as well because we can't stop them. From a women on the panel that, if we legalize marijuana it would be available to kids and now kids would start getting high. Apparently unaware that if we were to legalize marijuana it would be regulated like alcohol. That you would have to be twenty or over to possess, purchase or use marijuana in this country. So if you think marijuana would be too available to kids, why don't you look at alcohol and tobacco as well.The whole opposition to the marijuana debate is similar to the opposition in the Gay-marriage debate. In that they do not seem to be able to come up with an intelligent and persuasive argument against them. Other then that they just do not like them. The Conservative argument about marijuana would be a states-rights or Federalist one if you are actually a Conservative. This is not the Federal Government's business, besides the War on Drugs is not working and we are spending billions of dollars every year. Fighting a so called war that is simply not working and we have better things to do. Which is why the marijuana and Gay-marriage debates aren't about Liberal vs Conservative and to a certain extent. Left vs Right but more of just Pro vs Con, the Pros being a mixture of Leftists and Rightists, Liberals and. Progressives, as well as Conservatives and Libertarians vs Prohibitionists and Paternalists on the Right and Left who think that. The people shouldn't be allowed to make their own decisions of these issues.I forget her name but the women in this video whose against marijuana-legalization apparently. But then admits that the War on Drugs is not working sums up the contradiction in the drug-warriors argument. Perfectly she doesn't need anyone to contradict her because she's already taking care of that herself. Why continue to support something you know is not working and maybe now is the time to change course. And try something else.
