"Courtney Love hired a PI before Kurt Cobain was found dead..."

"...convinced he was trying to leave her. When his body was found news of the suicide spread worldwide. However, Love's hired PI doesn't buy Love as the mourning widow nor the death a suicide."


Top voted Reddit comment:
Yes. I always knew Courtney Love was a criminal mastermind capable of getting away with perfect murder.

'Italian restaurant owner hand-builds theme park in his spare time'

"Hidden among the trees of an Italian forest," Romero explains, "Bruno has been building swings, slides, seesaws, gyroscopes and roller-coasters for the last forty years. They are his passion and a way to attract clients to Ai Pioppi, the restaurant he runs with his family. 
Throughout this short documentary, his hand-powered toys move alongside his thoughts about existence and death; and why he spent more than half of his life creating rides."

 
 
"It's funny because I didn't expect it. I didn't imagine it would be such a great success.'
In the documentary, he ruminates on the future of his beloved park as he contemplates retirement.
He said: 'I wish it would keep running like this.
'There's an Italian proverb that says, "you shouldn't change a winning horse", but I can't impose my ideas on my successors, because everyone has a different point of view. I will leave it up to them."

Photos of the park can be seen on Flickr.

"The mind can be blank and it still be going"

"This Op-Doc is part of a suite of short films collectively titled “Translating Edwin Honig: A Poet’s Alzheimer’s,” completed in 2010."



"It is the chronicle of a man who, though he may have lost his memory, his relationship to the past and his command of language, still retained his wit, his sense of humor, his scholarly demeanor and the bearings of a deeply poetic soul."

Who is he with, really?

"Like almost everyone else in the crowd of fellow travelers and detractors who come out for and against him — sometimes both — [Brandon] Darby is more unreliable narrator than cynic. Certainly he comes across as a grandiose believer in his own propaganda, whether as the founder of the militant grass-roots aid movement Common Ground, created as a response to support survivors of Hurricane Katrina, or as the disillusioned turncoat and FBI plant who egged on, then turned in a group of young hotheads plotting to disrupt the 2008 Republican Convention in Minneapolis."

According to a former associate, it was Darby's savior complex that moved him to rush south to aid a Katrina-imperiled friend, then stay in New Orleans to help out other survivors and found the Common Ground relief collective. And perhaps his difficulty with father figures caused him to tell a police officer who asked what he was doing in the area that "I'm trying to foment social change" — then later bond so deeply with an FBI handler that he readily sold out an amateur cell of would-be terrorists trying to rig up Molotov cocktails using tampons.
To his mostly embittered associates on the left, Darby is variously a fallen hero, an attention-seeking egomaniac and a full-on Judas. Absolutist that he is, Darby now excoriates the FBI for insufficient vigor in prosecuting child prostitution. Today he's a Tea Party darling and a passionate columnist for the website Breitbart.com.
