Key Findings
The results of this effort indicated that S&T faces a significant challenge in marshaling the resources of multiple federal agencies to work together to develop a homeland security-related strategic plan for all agencies. Yet the importance of this role should not be underestimated. The very process of working across agencies to develop and align the federal homeland security research enterprise around a forward-focused plan is critical to ensuring that future efforts support a common vision and goals, and that the metrics by which to measure national progress, and make changes as needed, are in place.

Whereas Shakespeare's Puck was a mischief-maker in long ago times, the Mony Python troupe (John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin) are the pranksters for our age. They have poked fun at our foibles and lampooned our beliefs on their television series and in a number of very funny movies. The Meaning of Life is their most outrageious, accessible and zany work to date.
A short feature about some aged insurance clerks in revolt against their young bosses turns into a phantasmagorical pirate story. An ancient British office building is transformed into a ship that sails into Manhattan's financial district ready for battle. This imaginative bit sets the pace and the tone for what follows.
There are two clever sketches on "Birth." The first satirizes the medical establishment's adoration of technology instead of the miracle of new life. The second features a Catholic Yorkshire laborer who loses his job and contemplates selling his hundreds of children for medical experiments. It ends with a hilarious musical number entitled "Every Sperm is Sacred."
This broadside on the Catholic view of contraception won't win the Python troupe many friends in that audience. The Moral Majority will wince at the skit in which a no-nonsense teacher in a boy's school demonstrates the act of intercourse with his wife while the youths squirm nervously in their chairs. A sketch about an organ transplant and send-up of gluttony are gross-outs calculated to test the limits of our appreciation for slapstick. A Grim Reaper sequence is right on target with its apt insights into varied human responses to death.
The Monty Python troupe understands that comedy operates in a zone between the serious and the absurd. Although they tilt their satire more in the direction of the ludicrous, they are bright enough to ask the right questions about modern medicine, religion, business, sexuality, education, war and death. And in times when the so-called serious people are giving all the wrong answers that's quite funny indeed.

"Why the hell are you here in winter?" This is what a guide in Iceland asked me on our third day. And after only been there for two days I was able to say: "Why the hell not?"
Iceland is known as a very cold country. A country, where you know, that you won't have a warm, sunny and tanning holiday, no matter what time of year you're going. This didn't bother me at all, especially since the country has been on my list forever. And when my friend suggested November for it, I didn't have to think for even a second. I was in. But of course, going in November takes some other planning than going at a warmer time does.
One of the first things we did was book a car. Naive as we were, we booked a tiny little car at first, especially since it was cheap, but the more we read about traveling in Iceland around this time of the year, the more sure we were, that a 4WD was the best car to get. So we did. We booked it via Blue Car Rental and payed around 340€ for 6 days.
Tipp: If you get to KEF airport, you have to take a shuttle to the Blue Car Rental station, which leaves outside the building. It only takes around 5 minutes though.
Packing is the second thing that's very different to any other trip I've done so far. Important things to remember (next to warm clothes, obviously) are:
- Warm socks
- Rain trousers
- Rain jacket
- Hiking boots
- Gloves, Scarf and Hat
Another thing my friend packed, which was very clever, was a thermos bottle which we filled with hot tea every morning and drank from all day. It was super useful when getting back into your car after shooting photos in the freezing cold. On top of that, a normal reusable water bottle is great as well. You can easily drink the tap water in Iceland, so just filled it up in your guesthouse.
Since food is pretty expensive around Iceland, buying stuff at the supermarket and eating it in your car or anywhere else on the road is a cheap(er) way to get around. If that's your plan, remember to bring some reusable cutlery with you. (We, for example, always bought Wraps, Hummus and different toppings such as Tuna or Feta.)
Most people who go around this time of the year expect to see Northern lights. And we did. Here are some things you need to know for it: (Keep in mind, I am not expert though!)
- You might need to stake out somewhere. We got really lucky and saw some Northern lights on a long drive along the East Coast. But normally you should stake out at a certain place with as little artificial light as possible.
- You need a good camera or a steady hand. I didn't try to take photos but my friend did and you definitely need a steady hand and some knowledge about exposure etc.
- You shouldn't expect a sudden green cloud in the sky. I kind of did at first. But in the end, Northern lights are only turning crazy green when you photograph them. There are stronger and weaker ones, so obviously the color varies with that, but they don't have to be as green as photos sometimes make them out to be.
Check offered tours in advance. There are so many crazy things you can do around Iceland (which obviously varies with the seasons) so make sure to check in advance, which activity might be interesting for you. Hiking, Horseback Riding, Whale Watching, Snorkeling, Glacier Hiking and so on. The possibilities are endless and unfortunately time never really is.
This paragraph is as relevant for summer as it is for winter tourism, but it's an important one: Money. When we got to Iceland first, we got some cash out of an ATM, just to be sure. And we rarely needed it. There were some Hot Springs where we payed cash and I didn't see a card machine but everywhere else we were able to pay by card – gas stations, parking lots, restaurants, museums… So don't even bother to take out too much money if any, since I had definitely had some trouble getting rid of it.
When it comes to accommodations, I have no real tipp for you. We booked most of our guesthouses two weeks in advance and payed between 30 and 40€ a night per person. Since it was low season, we didn't really have any troubles finding places to stay at all. Just make sure to book places along the Route 1 and not too far off, since some streets, that are not paved, can be blocked by snow and ice.
Tipp: Most guesthouses offer breakfast as well and it's not only a great way to save money but you can also try the most delicious typical Icelandic dishes there!
That's it. A blogpost with all my important tipps when planning a trip to Iceland in winter. I hope it didn't discourage you to go because trust me, it is so abso-fucking-lutely worth it!!!

They are METALLICA, most influential heavy metal band for almost 30 years and they will play at UŠĆE on 8th of May.
Live Nation, Adria Entertainment and Arena Beograd proudly presents you best event of the year. METALLICA are coming back to Serbia and will perform "Black Album" in its entirety. The album contains songs such as Enter Sandman, Sad but True, The Unforgiven, Wherever I May Roam, Nothing else matters. The band will also perform songs from other albums, but it is "The Black Album" that will have the focus this evening in May.
"The Black Album" reached number one in more than 25 countries and has sold more than 25 million copies worldwide. Album was released at 1991. without name but featured a black cover that gave him a.k.a name Black Album.
Metallica is one of most influential metal bands in history. They brought thrash metal to the mainstream and in the process became one of the biggest bands in the world.
With more than 28 millions sold albums, Metallica is fifth biggest-selling rock act.
Since they formed in 1981, San Francisco Bay Area band Metallica have gone from an underground heavy metal band to one of the most successful acts in the world, with an intensely loyal fan base.
Sales of Metallica's albums (including 9 studio albums, and one e.p.) are over a 100 million copies worldwide (with over 65 million coming in North America alone), and have earned gold and/or platinum certifications in over forty countries. The "Black Album" has earned the prestigious RIAA Diamond Award (for sales of 10 million copies in the U.S.). Metallica's latest release, "Death " Magnetic" charted at #1 in 32 countries, and has sold 28 million records worldwide. In addition, a live box-set release (containing over eight hours of live music and video), retailing at over $80, has sold over 1 million units worldwide, making it the biggest selling box-set of its kind in history.
Metallica have garnered numerous awards and accolades throughout the world over their career, including 9 Grammy Awards, 2 American Music Awards, 2 MTV Video Music Awards, a VH-1 Award, the ESPN Action Sports and Music Artist Contribution Award for 2001, over 30 California Music Awards, the 2004 NARAS San Francisco Governor's Award, the MTV: ICON award of 2003 and most recently, the ASCAP Creative Voice award for 2004.
The documentary film, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster, 3 1/2 years in the making and directed by acclaimed filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in February 2004. It was released theatrically in July 2004. By the end of the year, SKOM was nominated for several critics choice awards and appeared on many "Top 10 films of the year" lists. The film won "Best Documentary" at the 2005 Independent Spirit Awards.
In the spring of 2009, Metallica received 4 Grammy nominations for Death Magnetic (winning 2 ); released their own Guitar Hero game (the aptly named "Guitar Hero Metallica") and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility.
When it comes to touring, there are few, if any, bands who deliver live the way Metallica do. Their shows, which began in clubs and garages in the early eighties, are now selling out in arenas and stadiums throughout the world, and continue to be among the most intense, powerful and visually stimulating concert experiences ever delivered. The most impressive achievement that bears mentioning is the fact that Metallica continue to be a strong attraction in the touring world; a truly rare feat in today's mercurial entertainment business, where fans often change allegiance to bands as often as they do hairstyles.

Candied Kentucky Fried Chicken Meal
This delicious-looking meal didn't come from Kentucky Fried Chicken, but from Jill of Kitchen Fun with My Three Sons. The chicken legs are actually Rice Krispie treats, marshmallows and pretzel sticks with a Raisin Bran coating. The corn consists of Twinkies covered with jelly beans and a single yellow Starburst candy. The baked beans are really pudding with jelly babies.
