TACOG Dialogue Transcript
1 TAKING A CHANCE ON GOD Transcription for Subtitles Mike Wallace (The Homosexuals): 00:04 Most Americans are repelled by the mere notion of homosexuality. The CBS News survey shows that two out of three Americans look upon homosexuals with disgust, discomfort or fear. Anita Bryant: 00:16 If homosexuals are allowed their civil rights, then so will prostitutes or thieves or anyone else. Jimmy Swaggart: 00:21 I've never seen a man in my life that I wanted to marry. And I'm gonna be blunt and plain. If one ever looks at me like that I'm gonna kill him and tell God he died. In case anybody doesn't know, God calls it an abomination. It's an abom-NATION! It's an abom-NATION! Titles: 00:55 Silence To Speech Productions Presents A Film by Brendan Fay Taking a Chance on God Phil Donahue 01:19 You are now about to be bounced from the Jesuits. They’re the smartest, you study the longest, you’re the most powerful and now you’re being bounced. Larry King 01:30 How early on in life did you discover your own homosexuality? Bishop Gene Robinson: 01:36 There is nothing so powerful as one person living a life of integrity. That's exactly what John McNeill has done. That's what Harvey Milk did. I mean, name all of the great heroes of our movement and that is what is changing the world. 2 Andy Humm: 1:54 And it's not just among the Catholic church. -

CdRTER HflRRISON'J flSSflSSIN/ITION Giving a full account of his Tragic Death, with a Detailed Synopsis of his Eventful Life. COMPILED BY A MEMBER OF THE CHICAGO PRESS. WITH AUTHOR'S INTRODUCTORY. FROM THE PRESS OF A. THEO. PATTERSON, PROGRESSIVE PRINTER INTRODUCTORY. (BARTER HENRY HARRISON is no more, save in memory. A cruel assassin took his life at a time when fair Fame upon him smiled her sweetest. As Mayor of the World's Fair City, together with his brilliant talents and past political achievements, ]ie had won the admiration of the World. This little book is not a biography such as should do full justice to the memory of the late Mayor Harrison. Such a work will no doubt be published, but its inevitable high price will place it beyond the reach of the masses of the people. This brief compilation, which I have put into book form, contains all the main facts connected with the tragedy, and other information worthy of preservation. If tf\\* book shall reach the masses of the people and be pre- served by them as a memento of the man who owed his great success to their loyal political support, then the author's desire shall be attained. THE AUTHOR. fttayor Jtoison Assassinated. "Carter H. Harrison, five times elected Mayor of the City of Chicago, was assassinated at his home on the night of October 28, 1893. -

ARCHIVES and SPECIAL COLLECTIONS QUEEN ELIZABETH II LIBRARY MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY, ST. JOHN'S, NL Mary Schwall Photograph Collection COLL-206 Website: Archives and Special Collections Author: Bert Riggs Date: 1996 Scope and Content: This collection consists of 135 photographs taken by Mary Schwall or her companions while on excursions to Newfoundland during 1913 and 1915. They are a pictorial record of a journey by ship from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland, a train trip from Channel to St. John's, and a trip from St. John's north around the coast to St. Anthony, across the Strait of Belle Isle to Labrador and down the west coast of the Great Northern Peninsula. There is evidence that the photographs were taken during two trips to Newfoundland, as two photographs have the date 1913 on the back with the caption, while another has the date 1915. The photographs provide visual documentation of Mary Schwall's vacations, but they also provide valuable information on Newfoundland communities during the early years of the twentieth century. Vernacular architecture historians have attested to the fact that several of the photographs show buildings only previously known through oral accounts. As well there is visual documentation of people, especially children, which can provide information on lifestyle, dress, nutrition, disease, and a host of other subjects.In addition, there are 56 postcards with images covering much the same geographical area as the photographs, leading one to believe that they were purchased in larger communities during stopovers, or possibly in St. John's. Most of the postcards were produced for the St. -

What is the biggest barrier to communities engaging in the development of an Asset Management Plan? Cost is not always a barrier; most plans are relatively low cost. Land ownership is an issue in most, if not all communities. 2. How much funding can a community attain from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) for the development of a plan? FCM offers up to $60,000 to successful municipal applicants. -

Northeast Historical Archaeology/Vol. 41, 2012 1 The Seventeenth-Century Brewhouse and Bakery at Ferryland, Newfoundland Arthur R. Clausnitzer, Jr. and Barry C. Gaulton In 2001 archaeologists working at the 17th-century English settlement at Ferryland, Newfoundland, uncovered evidence of an early structure beneath a mid-to-late century gentry dwelling. A preliminary analysis of the architectural features and material culture from related deposits tentatively identified the structure as a brewhouse and bakery, likely the same “brewhouse room” mentioned in a 1622 letter from the colony. Further analysis of this material in 2010 confirmed the identification and dating of this structure. Comparison of the Ferryland brewhouse to data from both documentary and archaeological sources revealed some unusual features. When analyzed within the context of the original Calvert period settlement, these features provide additional evidence for the interpretation of the initial settlement at Ferryland not as a corporate colony such as Jamestown or Cupids, but as a small country manor home for George Calvert and his family. -
