So sorry for the last days offline. Our site has a virus (which I still don’t know how we got it) and it was needed a full clean up. Fortunally, the gallery wasn’t affected and I didn’t lost any files. But in other way, we lost our forum. It was extremely hard to upgrade, and after a day trying to recover it, I decided for deletion.

Of course, if you’re still interested in it, I’ll install again. Just let me know here in our comments and I’ll reinstall it again. Of course, we’ll need to start from scratch;

I have two “The Philanthropist” updates to do, and will do it tomorrow. I’m sorry again.

Also, I want to install a media session here, for videos, but I don’t know what should be better: display the videos for download or like “Youtube”, to watch it online. What do you prefer?

Take a sneak peek of The Philanthropist episode 2 “Myanmar” airing this Wednesday, July 1 on NBC (10-11 p.m.)

Episode Synopsis: The Maidstone-Rist Company is outed by a human rights organization as having ties to businesses in Myanmar, also known as Burma, where there is oil and gas exploration using forced labor. Teddy (James Purefoy) decides the only way to conclude whether to continue their business activities in the country is to get advice from Daw May Lin Wai, a revered Burmese democratic leader who has been under house arrest in the country for nearly two decades. During his search for Lin Wai, Teddy meets a young girl, desperately in need of a kidney transplant. The girl’s father is a suitable donor but he’s being kept at a forced labor camp and it is feared that he won’t get to his daughter in time to save her life. Back in New York, Philip (Jesse L. Martin) and Olivia (Neve Campbell) desperately try to explain Teddy’s behavior to an irate board of directors. Michael Kenneth Williams also stars.

Teddy risks his life to rescue a small boy and finds that even after he returns to New York, he cannot settle back into his routine as a billionaire bon vivant. After a few manic moments and a meltdown on CNBC, Teddy returns to Nigeria, intent on hand-delivering food and supplies to the boy’s village. (more…)
