...Hayden Liljenquist ENG 102 Dr. Pegram July 31, 2012 Team Effort: The Communities Created Through Sports Introduction Within today’s society, a number of small, unique communities exist. Communities can range from social, to religious, to occupational. In order to be considered a separate and distinct “community,” the group needs to share common characteristics or interests and be perceived as distinct from the larger society as a whole. Sports teams provide a particularly good example of a community. They separate themselves by the games they play, even by the name they call themselves. The entire world of sports itself can seem confusing to someone who doesn’t understand the rules. Behind each game is a complex realm of jargon, hierarchy, and guidelines. In order to play, you need to learn. And hopeful members work to earn their spot on the team. Through personal participation, as well as observation, one can witness for themselves just how the community created by a team functions. The team experience resonates with a lot of people, and has attracted film makers with stories of motivation, hope, and overcoming the odds. Many of the most well-known sports movies are often even inspired by true stories. In all of these films, similar themes can be found, demonstrating just how much the feeling of community within teams is shared throughout all areas of sports. Teams have a goal, face a challenger, and overcome obstacles, all in the hope of...

...Angelina Jolie Tattoos Tattoos are an art form normally make on the human body with inedible ink in the dermis layer of the body to change the pigment. Few tattoos are permanent and can’t be removed whereas few can be removed with the help of some acids. Tattoos are in the fashion these days and many celebrities are having them on their body these days. Angelina Jolie tattoos have been the talk of the town ever since she started having them on her body. Angelina Jolie tattoos have been a depiction to its sensuality and exotic nature.

Angelina Jolie tattoos started all the way back in 1993 which stated “Death”. Since then, they have been coming thick and fast till they have become 13 in number. Every Angelina Jolie tattoo is having a story or some lesson to the general public. 2nd Angelina Jolie Tattoo was in Japanese language which means courage but was later removed by the sultry actress and was replaced by Arabic word which means “Power of Will”. Then she had roman “XIII” on her left arm to show that she is not a superstition but later this number has been changed to “XIII V MCMXL” which means 13 May, 1940 which is basically the date on which Winston Churchill gave his famous speech.

...Bloodlines of Illuminati by: Fritz Springmeier, 1995 Introduction: I am pleased & honored to present this book to those in the world who love the truth. This is a book for lovers of the Truth. This is a book for those who are already familiar with my past writings. An Illuminati Grand Master once said that the world is a stage and we are all actors. Of course this was not an original thought, but it certainly is a way of describing the Illuminati view of how the world works. The people of the world are an audience to which the Illuminati entertain with propaganda. Just one of the thousands of recent examples of this type of acting done for the public was President Bill Clinton’s 1995 State of the Union address. The speech was designed to push all of the warm fuzzy buttons of his listening audience that he could. All the green lights for acceptance were systematically pushed by the President’s speech with the help of a controlled congressional audience. The truth on the other hand doesn’t always tickle the ear and warm the ego of its listeners. The light of truth in this book will be too bright for some people who will want to return to the safe comfort of their darkness. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I deal with real facts, not theory. Some of the people I write about, I have met. Some of the people I expose are alive and very dangerous. The darkness has never liked the light. Yet, many of the secrets of the Illuminati are locked up tightly simply because secrecy is a way...
