 | | Miss Nancy Minds Their Manners (Trailer for Documentary) - 208 sec
This is a 3 minute visual and preliminary trailer/preview for the upcoming documentary, "Miss Nancy Minds Their Manners". This film by filmmakers Martha Weeks Daniel and Caroline Rumsey Paxton fMiss Nancy Minds Their Manners is an earnest and heartfelt documentary film that follows 74 year old "Miss Nancy" Rascoe through the engaging task of teaching manners to children in her 200 hundred year old home in rural Hertford, NC. It's a five day and four night summer etiquette camp like no other and the mix of activities are all rich with Miss Nancy's true Southern gentility and grace from an era gone by.
The candid and often rambunctious campers help reveal Miss Nancy as a most charismatic Southern lady who's both charming and captivating. With abundant patience, and unknowing humor, she and her vibrant camp staff share not only the finer technical points to correct etiquette, but the underlying meaning and purpose of it all as well.
When summer ends, Miss Nancy also minds the manners of third grade students at an area public middle school in the fall. Her efforts with these students give them skills and confidence in special etiquette classes where they learn dining manners, telephone etiquette, introductions and correspondence.
People from the South have always prided themselves on good manners, and Miss Nancy's endearing spirit and zest for life move beyond traditional stereotypes of formality and social class often associated with etiquette. Through her religious and character values, Miss Nancy gives the children a better understanding of how positively good manners affect others, as well as themselves. Southern hospitality shines through all the valuable lessons that the children can take with them throughout life.

| | The Plantation System in Southern Life- Part 1 (1950) - 295 sec
A Eurocentric view of the plantation system and its effect on Southern U.S. culture.
Placing the viewer in the perspective of the white tourist family, a historically preserved Southern mansion is investigated and the past system of plantation owners and slaves is re-created. The homes of the past are contrasted with the homes of the current tenant farmers and landlords. At the end, as the viewer observes a polite barbecue party of well-dressed white people as the voiceover narrates:
"Today, if we visit a social gathering in the south, we'll see some of these things. The gentle manners and courtesy. The separation of society into distinct groups. And the relationship of that society to the land, which supplies its wealth. These are some of the things the plantation system has contributed to southern life."

JAMES BURTON: Sexy Blighty girls dance to--JOHNNY B GOOD
"Some people call me an idiot, but I am The Killer."
"I can't figure it out, but it sounds great,All of it sounds great. Awesome."
'He knows smoothing', but he ain't sayin'I am being honest,"
"I appreciate you for saying that, young man," "I just want to know. I'm watching people in the room and I get real sensitive. I watch people's eyes. Now who is this guy here? Hey, who are you?
"That's James,"
"Come here, boy,"
"I'm James. I'm ..."
"OK, James. What do you think?"
James is nervous and, like many young men, southern U.S.A. and elsewhere, his discomfort summons up his manners. "I think it sounds real good, We got a lot of good vocals on there. Last night I liked everything that was on there. Tonight I love everything--"
"Do you love God?"
"it's gotta be good. He can't lie--"
"Do you love God along with Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, and other white performers who helped make Memphis the center of the pop-music univers?"
"H-e-l-l! James, "Do you love God?", 'Yes sir, I sure do," "Are you a Baptist?"
"A Baptist Christian," James responds,
"I knew you were fucked up."
"Uh oh," James says.
"You know the only thing wrong with Baptist folk?"
"What it is?" James plays along.
"They just need to get saved,"
"Oh! My grandfather was a preacher. I'm not gonna tell him--"
"Young man,I'm just putting you on."
"I know it." James swallows Baptist folks. They're good,"
"They just don't preach the full gospel."
"I'm not as good a preacher as I ought to be," James admits.
"Well, let me go back to where we started: the Book of Acts, second chapter. Read it. Pentecostal. You are what you are. You're realistic and you're real--or you're not.Now I'm watching you people in there and I know what you're thinking. I know what you're thinking, I know what you're looking at. You ain't minute."
"I'd never try to," James says, once again on the defensive. "You've been around long enough to read me the Book."
"Now that boy's got a little more sense than I thought he had. That's good."
James goes on, too nervous to stop now. "He's got us jumping in there so fast we ain't got time to think."
"Now if I could just recall this dude back here for about fifteen minutes,we could show you a trick."
"Never be another Elvis Presley. He had that something. Dynamic, you know, something that would make you want to drive ten thousand miles to see him if you only had fifteen cents in your pocket. You'd get the money somewhere to go. Ain't nobody could outdraw Elvis Presley."
"Well, we had some good times right here in this old studio out here. He told me, he said, 'Wh-what's goin' on?' Wh-why did you, you didn't have to go into the Army?'
'Shit, I never was that crazy."
"He got a little upset about that,But he was some man. He served his time, he done it. He was so far ahead of his time. He was so great."
"Landlord ringing on the front door bell B-b-b-baby, baby, b-b-baby."
"Well, he had something different, didn't he? He was a real gentleman, son. I'll never forget--I know people don't want to hear this bullshit I'm talking about--he pulled out right here and parked, he had that 1956 Lincoln Mark I, I believe it was, I think it was. White one. When he got out of the damned car, I wanted to see what he looked like. He rolled out of that car and he walked in and he looked just exactly like he looked--dangerous. We had some times. But those days are going, aren't they?"
"And they can spot you a mile off if you've got a shot of Demerol or something. They can detect it just like that." He snaps his fingers. "Whiskey's bad enough, but that other kind of stuff…man. Brother, I don't mean to be getting into that, it's just a pleasure talking to somebody. You're one of the sharpest people I've talked to."
"People talk to you somehow, they talk to me, they get so, I don't know, they just talk in circles. They think they're fooling me, they're trying to put something over on me and I can't hear a prayer."
"Weeds die and roses bloom, but I can't figure out what to do with that fucking wife."
"She really made me mad this trip. I told her she ought to go back to her daddy, her manager, Bob McCarver."
"Well, I'm hotter than fresh-fucked sheep!" "Woo! That broke me out in a sweat. Lord, you're gonna pay for what you did wrong, you know that."
"Don't go, around come around, what come goes around'll tell you'll get married if I live three thousand years, eleven feet to the ceiling to God's the truth! Mark my word on that! I'm still a living, a living motherhumper."

Surrounded by heavy male laughter
Teenagers with cheese burgers
Chinese being shouted down my ear
So aggressive a hubbub of north London life
Foreigners making bacon sandwiches instead of couscous
An English breakfast no longer being cooked by the English
And I my head spinning a southern soul among stone age manners
Were desires rule the minds and minds walk the streets
I cannot bear to be here any more..... adu

| | Virginia Tech Awards Posthumous Ph.D. - VOA Story - 158 sec
The university in the southern U.S. state of Virginia where a student killed 27 other students and five faculty members last month held graduation ceremonies last week.
Among the graduates were those students who died in the shooting rampage. Virginia Tech awarded posthumous degrees to 18 undergraduates and five graduate students. A promising young man from Indonesia was among those to receive advanced degrees.
It was a touching moment for the Lumbantoruan family, accepting a posthumous Ph.D. diploma on behalf of their slain son, Partahi Mamora, better known as Mora, who died in the Virginia Tech shooting in April.
It was Mora's intelligence and good manners that left a deep impression on Professor Gutierrez, who plans on creating a web site in honor of his beloved student. "People should not remember the way he died, but the way he lived, the way he tried to improve his life, and I hope that he will remain as a model for many young people who want to study and improve their lives, because it's by studying that you become a better person," said the professor.

| | Tribute to Zdzisław Beksiński - 188 sec
Zdzisław Beksiński (24 February 1929 -- 21 February 2005) was a renowned Polish painter, photographer, and fantasy artist.
He was born in the town of Sanok, in southern Poland. After studying architecture in Kraków, he returned to Sanok in 1955. Subsequent to this education, he spent several years as a construction site supervisor, which he hated. At that time, he became interested in artistic photography and photomontage, sculpture and painting. He made his sculptures of plaster, metal and wire. His photography had several themes that would also appear in his future paintings, presenting wrinkled faces, landscapes and objects with a very bumpy texture, which he attempted to emphasize (especially by manipulating lights and shadows). His photography also depicted disturbing images, such as a mutilated baby doll with its face torn off, portraits of people without faces or with their faces wrapped in bandages.
Later, he concentrated on painting. His first paintings were abstract art, but throughout the 1960s he made his surrealist inspirations more visible. In the 1970s, he entered what he himself called his "fantastic period", which lasted up to the late 1980s. This is his best-known period, during which he created very disturbing images, showing a surrealistic, post-apocalyptic environment with very detailed scenes of death, decay, landscapes filled with skeletons, deformed figures and deserts. These paintings were quite detailed, painted with his trademark precision (particularly when it came to rough, bumpy surfaces). His highly-detailed drawings are often quite large, and may remind some of the works of Ernst Fuchs in their intricate, and nearly obsessive rendering. Despite the grim overtones, he claimed some of these paintings were misunderstood; in his opinion, they were rather optimistic or even humorous.
His exhibitions almost always proved very successful. A prestigious exhibition in Warsaw in 1964 proved to be his first major success, as all his paintings were sold. In the 1980s, his works gained on popularity in France due to the endeavors of Piotr Dmochowski, and he gained significant popularity in Western Europe, the United States and Japan.
Beksiński eventually threw himself into painting with a passion, and worked constantly (always to the strains of classical music). He soon became the leading figure in contemporary Polish art.
Before moving to Warsaw in 1977, he burned a selection of his works in his own backyard, without leaving any documentation on them. He later claimed that some of those works were "too personal", while others were unsatisfactory, and he didn't want people to see them. The 1980s marked a transitory period for Beksiński. His art in the early 1990s consisted mainly of a series of surreal portraits and a series of crosses. Paintings in these series were much less lavish than those known from his "fantastic period", but just as powerful. In the latter part of the 1990s, he discovered computers, the Internet, and digital photography, a medium that he focused on until his death.
Beksiński always executed his paintings and drawings in either of two manners, which he respectively calls "Baroque" and "Gothic". The first is dominated by representation, the second by form. Among the paintings produced during the past five years, those executed in the 'Gothic' manner have become more and more frequent, so much so that pictures in the other style have almost disappeared.
The late 1990s were a very trying time for Beksiński. His wife, Zofia, died in 1998; a year later, on Christmas Eve 1999, his son Tomasz (a popular radio presenter, music journalist and movie translator) committed suicide. Beksiński discovered his son's body. Unable to come to terms with his son's death, he kept an envelope "For Tomek in case I kick the bucket" pinned to his wall.
On 21 February 2005, he was found dead in his flat in Warsaw with 17 stab wounds on his body; two of the wounds were determined to have been fatal. Robert Kupiec (the teenage son of his long time caretaker), who later pleaded guilty, and a friend was arrested shortly after the crime. On 9 November 2006 Robert Kupiec was condemned to 25 years of prison, and his accomplice, Łukasz Kupiec, to 5 years by the court of Warsaw. Before his death, Beksiński refused a loan to Robert Kupiec.

| | Israel is not the Ashkenazi homeland - 439 sec
The Ashkenazi Jews who lived in Russian and Central Eastern Europe and later on migrated to Western and Southern Europe, are of Khazar origin and were converted to Judaism in the 9th century A.D. The Khazar Jews have no ethnic or historical connection with Palestine. The Ashkenazi Jews who migrated to Palestine during the British Mandate and who committed the crime of genocide against the Palestinian people are descendants of the Khazars. The Jewish Encyclopaedia refers to the Khazars and their conversion to Judaism:
A people of Turkish origin whose life and history are interwoven with the very beginnings of the history of the Jews of Russia. The kingdom of the Khazars was firmly established in most of South Russia long before the foundation of the Russian monarchy by the Varangians (855) ... Driven onward by the nomadic tribes of the steppes and by their own desire for plunder and revenge, they made frequent invasions into Armenia ...
In the second half of the sixth century the Khazars moved westward. They established themselves in the territory bounded by the Sea of Azov, the Don and the lower Volga, the Caspian Sea, and the northern Caucasus ... In 679 the Khazars subjugated the Bulgars and extended their sway further west between the Don and the Dnieper, as far as the head-waters of Donetz ... It was probably about that time that the Khaghan (Bulan) of the Khazars and his grandees, together with a large number of his heathen people, embraced the Jewish religion ...
It was one of the successors of Bulan, named Obadiah, who regenerated the kingdom and strengthened the Jewish religion. He invited Jewish scholars to settle in his dominions, and founded synagogues and schools. The people were instructed in the Bible. Mishnah, and Talmud ...
From the work Kitah al-Buldan written about the ninth century, it appears as if all the Khazars were Jews and that they had been converted to Judaism only a short time before that book was written ... It may be assumed that in the ninth century many Khazar heathens became Jews, owing to the religious zeal of King Obadiah. "Such a conversion in great masses says Chwolson (Izvyestiya o Khazarakh, p. 58), "may have been the reason for the embassy of Christians from the land of the Khazars to th Byzantine emperor Michael ...
The Jewish population in theentire domain of the Khazars, in the period between the seventh and tenth centuries, must have been considerable.,
The Russians invaded the trans-Caucasian country in 944 ... This seems to have been the beginning of the downfall of the Khazar kingdom ... The Russian prince Sviatoslav made war upon the Khazars ...( c. 974) the Russians conquered all the Khazarian territory east of the Sea of Azov. Only the Crimean territory of the Khazars remained in their possession until 101 6, when they were dispossessed by a joint expedition of Russians and Byzantines ... Many were sent as prisoners of war to Kiev, where a Khazar community had long existed ... Some wentto Hungary, but the great massof the people remained in their native country. Many members of the Khazarian royal family emigrated to Spain... (252)
Professor Graetz describes the Khazar kingdom as follows:
The heathen king of a barbarian people, living in the north, together with all his court, adopted the Jewish religion ... Their kings, who bore the title of Khakhan or Khaghan, had led these warlike sons of the steppe from victory to victory ...
It is possible that the circumstances under which the Khazarsembraced Judaism have beenembellished by legend, but the fact itself is too definitely proved on all sides to allow any doubt as to its reality. Besides Bulan, the nobles of his kingdom, numbering nearly four thousand, adopted the Jewish religion. Little by little it made its way among the people, so that most of the inhabitants of the towns of the Khazar kingdom were Jews ... At first the Judaism of the Khazars must have been rather superficial, and could have had but a little influence on their mind and manners...
A successor of Bulan, who bore the Hebrew name of Obadiah, was the first to make serious efforts to further the Jewish religion. He invited Jewish sages to settle in his dominions, rewarded them royally, founded synagogues and schools. caused instruction to be given to himself and his people in the Bible and the Talmud, and introduced a divine service modeled on that of the ancient communities ... After Obadiah came a long series of Jewish Khaghans, for according to a fundamental law of the state only Jewish rulers were permitted to ascend the throne... (253)
According to Dr. A. N. Poliak. Professor of Mediaeval Jewish History at Tel Aviv University, the descendants of the Khazars - "those who stayed where they were, those who emigrated to the United States and to other countries, and those who went to Israel — constitute now the large majority of world Jewry."
