  1. The Premier Compendium of Sufism in the English Language
    Seyyed Hossein Nasr is a rare phenomena in these days of religious decadence, earth-ravaging materialism, and all around despair. Nasr's sober call to return to our religions, not to the truncated and diseased state into which we've reduced them, but to their still beating hearts which are...
  2. A beautiful Book
    This review was originally written for this book, but somehow found itself linked to Dr. Nasr's collected papers, edited by Chittick. "The Garden of Truth" is an absolutely beautiful book. Although it might be called a primer, it is deep and rich and filled with sentences that make you stop and...

The Chaser's The Unbelieveable Truth goes into production for Seven

Channel Seven is pleased to announce the comedy panel show about lying, The Unbelievable Truth, will go into production this week.

Brought to you by Julian Morrow, Craig Reucassel and Andrew Hansen (The Hamster Wheel, The Chaser’s War On Everything) and British comedy guru Graeme Garden (The Goodies), The Unbelievable Truth is a game where comedians try to trick each other into believing lies while smuggling unbelievable but true facts past each other.

Craig is in the host chair, while Andrew and Julian feature as regular liars amongst an array of guest comedians both familiar and new.

“The most bizarre fact in the entire series is that Channel Seven have agreed to make a show with us involved,” said Executive Producer Julian Morrow. “But I suppose it is called The Unbelievable Truth.”

Seven’s Head of Production, Brad Lyons said: “I liked it better when Seven was getting injunctions to stop these guys being on TV”.

The Unbelievable Truth begins filming this week, and will add to a busy 2012 for Giant Dwarf’s TV production commitments.

This caller said Hurley noted that the cut they were doing in parts of Atlantic County along the Parkway, and was very concerned that they would begin to do the same thing to the south.
