For most of its existence the word shave did not refer to hair removal. Men have been scraping the hair off their faces (or not) time out of mind and our word shave is old too. It first appears in Old English in 725 and the experts trace its little cutting trail back through Germanic languages to a Teutonic word scab.  Our word scab goes back to Latin and Greek roots which in Latin relates to meanings of “scratch” and “itch,” while in Greek it may relate to words meaning “dig” and “spade.” Merriam-Webster thinks shave relates to these scabby Latin and Greek roots but The Oxford English Dictionary says it’s doubtful. Right from the beginning of its use in English the word shave meant to scrape away, but it wasn’t until 600 years after it came into English that it was used in reference to hair removal. A shaver can be the thing you use to shave with but the word has also been used to refer to a youngster, presumably someone who has just gotten old enough to shave. Around the time of Henry VIII the term shaveling appeared as a derogatory term. In this case though it wasn’t the young and inexperienced that were being insulted, the low social standing of shavelings had much more to do with King Henry’s desire for new wives and his break with the Catholic Church. When Henry got turned off of the Catholic Church so did his subjects. But all the while there were these monks milling around in their monasteries and old cathedrals. Since their brand of religion was out of favor so were they. These were the guys who were being called shavelings and the reason for that was that their church required them to shave the tops of their heads; a style called a tonsure. Before the word shave meant to remove one’s beard or underarm hair it was being applied to things such as the removal of a thin layer of wood. We still shave off wood with a wood-plane and some authorities think that the word shaft might have evolved because this is how people would have produced wooden shafts, by shaving away the material they didn’t need.

The term "remake" is generally used in reference to a movie which uses an earlier movie as the main source material, rather than in reference to a second, later movie based on the same source. With some exceptions, remakes make significant character, plot, and theme changes. Not all remakes use the same title as the previously released version. In the recent history of cinema, remakes have generally been considered inferior to earlier versions by film critics and cinema-goers alike, Another noteworthy (and increasingly common) development is the use of a successful (usually older) television series to be remade as a feature film. Like other film remakes, these often fare badly at the box-office and/or are considered a poor reflection on the source materialFormats available: MPEG4 Video (.mp4), Quicktime (.mov)Tags: netherlands, republic, history, wars, murder, assasination, lynching, holland

Today people are victims of injustice or fraud as well as car accidents and homicide. SPONSOR: GotoMeeting Hold your meetings online for just $49/mo. Try GoToMeeting FREE for 30 days. This is an improvement over victims of ages past that were restricted to having to have died to qualify as victims. The word victim comes to English from Latin in the 15th or almost the 16th century. The earliest meaning in English was that victim was a sacrificial animal used in some pagan religious ceremony. Back then any religious ceremony that wasn’t Christian was automatically considered suspect by English speakers. This would have been true of French speakers too who get involved in the word’s history as we’ll see in a moment. As a Latin word victima naturally made its way into French as well but the Latin roots of the word mean that it evolved in a pre-Christian time and likely among people who thought these animal sacrifices were just the thing that God wanted; or gods, or something. Most dictionaries don’t go this far back but the Century Dictionary suggests that the Latin victima was probably appled to sacrificial animals because when they were offered to the gods they would have been all prettied up, effectively wrapped in a bow. The Latin word vincire meant “bind,” or “wind” as you would do with a ribbon and the Century Dictionary at any rate suspects this has the same etymological root as victim. Though English adopted the word from Latin in a small way at first another influence on getting the word adopted into the language came about from French. I’d never known it but in the latter 1500s in Reims, France there was an English college and it produced an English translation of the New Testament. I myself think of Reims as more of a source of champagne than of vocabulary but English bibles had an influence on English vocabulary and perhaps it was the French vocabulary of the New Testament translators that influenced their generous use of the word victim in the holy book. In any case it wasn’t until 100 years later that the word became common and sometime after that when it started to soften in meaning so that death wasn’t always a prerequisite.

Hi my name is Derek Crabbe. My screen name over at Bottalk is derekwc, hence the derekwc presents. I was mainly inspired by James Rolfe and his Monster Madness Cinemasscre Reviews (also the Godzilla ones are pretty fun too!). I wanted to focus mainly on comic books adapted into tv shows and films. Kind of short synopsis and review with some historical perspectives and tangents thrown in for fun. There is a vast amount of material to cover and I probably won't have access to all of it, but I thought I'd go ahead and give it a shot. I probably won't have a part up every day and they might not all be in order (but I'll try my best). Note: I'm trying to limit my focus to comic books, maybe I'll go back and do comic strips or manga some other day. Hope you enjoy!

http://constitutionalrepublican.com/ What you are about to watch does not carry the approval of organised medicine. The Food and Drug Administration, the American Cancer Society, and the American Medical Association have labelled it fraud and quackery . In fact, the FDA and other agencies of government have used every means at their disposal to prevent this story from being told. They have arrested citizens for holding public meetings to tell others of their convictions on this subject. They have confiscated films and books. They even have prosecuted doctors who apply these theories in the effort to save the lives of their own patients. The purpose of this movie is to show that this great human tragedy can be stopped now entirely on the basis of existing scientific knowledge. The information you are about to watch marshals the evidence that cancer is a nutritional-deficiency disease, like scurvy or pellagra. It is not caused by a bacterium, virus or mysterious toxin, but by the absence of a substance that modern man has removed from his diet. That substance is Vitamin B-17, also known as Amygdalin or Laetrile. If that analysis is correct, then the treatment and prevention of cancer can be made simple. All that needs to be done is to restore that easily obtained and inexpensive food factor to our daily meals. An increasing number of doctors all over the world are now are testing and proving in their own clinics that the vitamin concept of cancer is true.
