Looking for Transwonderland: Travels in
by Noo Saro-Wiwa
As a child, Noo Saro-Wiwa used to go to Nigeria for her school holidays. Her father, the Nigerian activist Ken Saro-Wiwa, had moved his family to the UK so the children could have the best education possible. But he also wanted them to maintain a connection to the country, so he insisted on regular family visits. Noo remembers hating these trips. The mosquitoes, the visits to endless uncles and aunts, the weeks spent in villages where you had to walk long distances to fetch water—these were not things she enjoyed. And when in 1995 her father was assassinated for his campaign against government corruption, she decided she was never going back.
It was a promise she kept for several years. As a writer of travel guides she went to almost every country in Africa except Nigeria. Then almost twenty years after her father's death, she decided that she would give the country one more chance. She spent five months travelling through the country, and this is her account of that journey.
The book is a warts-and-all reflection of Nigeria in all its complexity. In Ibadan, she visits an abandoned amusement park—the Transwonderland of the title—a victim of corruption. In Jos, she sees beautiful terracotta Nok sculptures, made between 1000 BC and 500 AD. Noo also watches a lot of Nollywood films. Twenty years ago, there wasn't a film industry in Nigeria. Today, Nollywood is one of the country's success stories. She talks to a Nollywood film director, Teco Benson, who aspires to make films that would become an agent for change in villages.
In the the Muslim north of the country, Noo got herself a black hijab so she would blend in, and then noticed most women were wearing colourful headscarves instead. One of the women she spoke to, Rabi, resisted the pressure to conform to sharia law: she worked, wore jeans and t-shirts, and tried to organize a debate (unsuccessfully) on the possibility of having a woman president. Around 2012, when Noo was there, the government would sometimes step in to rein in the Hisbah, the religious police. Obviously things had not deteriorated quite as much as they in the last year, with Boko Haram wreaking havoc in the country.
I loved her conversations with ordinary Nigerians and their humour and entrepreneurship. They are direct and completely unabashed about making personal remarks about perfect strangers, something that reminded me a little of India. As, unfortunately, did the rampant corruption. And that is what holds these countries back—pervasive corruption on the part of the state undermines any genuine efforts to develop so completely that people either give up or become corrupt themselves. Without that holding them back, there's no telling how far these countries could go.
Throughout the book, Ken Sawo-Wiwa is a palpable, and very real, presence: a stern, often distant father who believed in giving his children the best he could. The reader is never too far from Noo's memories of the past, which makes this an intensely personal account. At the end of her five months, she does manage to make a sort of peace with the country.

A Handful of Honey: Away to the Palm Groves of Morocco and Algeria
by Annie Hawes
The book starts unexpectedly with Annie Hawes, an adolescent, imprisoned in a high security prison in Salazar's Portugal (she never found out why). She was eventually released and deported to the UK. On her trip back, she was shown great kindness by some young men from an Algerian oasis town. She never forgets this, and in the early 1990s—over 20 years later—travels to Morocco and Algeria to look up their family.
Hawes sets off with two friends and very little money, planning to live frugally and travel like a local. This was a period of unrest, with rebellion against the government and rising Islamist movements. Hawes and her companions meet and talk to a wide range of people, from truck drivers to vineyard owners. The resulting story provides a close look at Morocco and Algeria and most of all, it captures the people —their generosity, struggles and hopes. Hawes stays in a fuduq in Morocco, an ancient inn with a courtyard for donkeys. She is warned to be careful of djinns (and discovers that some stalls stay open late to allow the djinns to shop) and finds a hidden Algerian village in an area devastated by napalm used by the French during the country's war of independence.
What I found particularly interesting were Hawes's encounters with local women. They were forbidden many things, but they held their own (like the women of my home, India). The book is stuffed with unusual encounters and delves below the surface of the everyday life of women of the Maghreb.
The book also explores food, which, for a foodie like me, is wonderful! Much about couscous, some of it cooked by truck drivers on the roadside; pastila, a pie made with pigeon; mechoui; and olive oil, which one family still presses by hand. And when Hawes does find her family, they live in a paradise of green in the middle of the desert, filled with fruits, vegetables and the all-pervasive scent of henna: a mix of tobacco, chocolates and roses. It had me dreaming of couscous for days!
When I finished this book, I felt that I had been on this journey too. My only quibble is that there is no map.

Looks like there are some problems in the Upcoming Recordings generation that I have run into. For example (for an RTV 4xxx):
I have a guaranteed show-based channel to record Real World/Road Rules Challenge Mondays only @10pm.
I have another guaranteed show-based channel on same RTV to record Everybody Loves Raymond Mondays only @9pm.
This coming Monday there are 3 Real World/Road Rules Challenge showings: 9pm, 9:30pm, 10pm. DVA is showing a conflict saying the first Real World @9pm will record and Raymond won't record at 9pm and the 10pm Real World will not record. In reality, of course there is no conflict and the 9pm Raymond and 10pm Real World will record.

For anyone who's trying to use the web server and can't figure out where their "custom templates" are it looks like the windows installer fails to install this. If you download the 4MB .zip file you can copy the templates folder from the zip into the DVArchive folder. Then point the template to "C:\\Program Files\\DVArchive\\Templates\\Standard\\Web\\DVRExplorer". On the SERVER tab, make sure you uncheck "block external connections".
(thanks to pakcikkayo for figuring this out)

Nov 2013 Southern Carribean MRC
Sail Date: October 30, 2013
Reviewed: 3 years ago
Traveled As: Singles/Friends
Room Type: Inside
Cabin: GTY
In general the cruise was as expectted with the exception of the dining room service and food. I used the dinin groom service three times in 11 days and was disappointed every time The food was not prepared as requested, i.e. a requested "medium rare" steak was cooked "well done" every time . Three stikes and "you're out", in my ball game. I ate the remaining meals from the general buffet. That food was very good but somewhat boring, same dishes served every day. I would cruise again with Norwegian but would have lower expectations. The cabin service was very good as was the service provided by the casino staff (I'm a gambler).
My largest complaint is not specific to Norwegian but applies to all cruiselines. I am a single traveler. Therefore, even though I spend a considerable amount on shore excursions, shopping on the ship, bingo, and other games and approximately $1500.00 in the casino, I am required to pay full fare for a cabin. Just to take this trip, I had to pay $1000 for a $500 cruise. I would expect and accept an "up-charge" as a single cruiser but not TWICE THE ADVERTISED PRICE!

Justin Bieber took a break from his O2 arena residency by heading back to school.
The 22-year-old singer shocked pupils in North London when he turned up at Highgate School for a game of football.
Bieber – who is in the capital for his Purpose World Tour – shunned a football kit in favour of skinny jeans, a black jumper and bright orange trainers as he took to the pitch.
He showed off his skills as he donned a bib to join in with the senior football team and was filmed taking a run up before scoring a goal.
Pupils couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the world famous pop star at their school and tweeted their shock and excitement.
One pupil wrote: "I'm screaming JUSTIN BIEBER just turned up + played football with all my mates. Why is he here and why did he want to play with us."
But an ex-pupil was left devastated that they weren't there to see the singer and tweeted: "Justin f****** Bieber was at/is at my old school in London playing football on the field. I swear the world hates me."
Others struggled to believe the singer would turn up at a school and questioned whether or not it was real. "Sorry why was Justin Bieber playing football at highgate is this real?" on user asked.
Bieber's sporting appearance came hours before he took to the stage in Greenwich for his second night at the O2.
The singer sent pulses racing when he stripped off his top and flashed his white Calvin Kleins.
Bieber flew into Luton Airport on a private jet on Monday afternoon. He will head to Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow before returning to the O2 Arena for two more nights at the end of November.
Bieber's surprise appearance at the school comes a week after he attempted to avoid attention and go incognito in Amsterdam.
The singer wore a brown wig and a fake moustache in a bid to avoid being spotted - but his neck tattoos gave his identity away and fans approached him for selfies.

Since the Rio Olympics are right around the corner, I've been trying a variety of Brazilian dessert recipes.

What is cornstarch?
Cornstarch is a fine, powdery starch that is made out of corn. The cornstarch is actually made from the endosperm of the corn, which makes up most of the kernels that we eat when enjoying popcorn or corn on the cob. Cornstarch, also sometimes called cornflour, is produced by grinding, washing and drying the endosperm of the corn until it reaches that fine, powdery state. ... Read More »

|If You Give A Cat A Cupcake
If You Give A Cat A Cupcake
Hardcover, 32 pages.
He's back! This lovable creature is back for his first debut. Once upon a time, an adorable cat featured in "If You Give a Pig a Party" is now the star of his very own book. This is just one of the clever stories of the best selling series by Laura Numeroff.
How much trouble could a cat with a cupcake cause? Oh, you just wait! Read along and find out how hard this little bugger pushes his luck. Written in the form of "this is what happens when..." The other main character of this short story is a bright young girl, who is forced to oblige to the cat's many needs. She is easily relatable for young readers.
If You Give a Cat a Cupcake is an excellent choice for teaching children a lesson or two without them even knowing. With the cat continuously being unsatisfied, hence his need/want to have something more, the young girl responds. Long story short, every action has a consequence. It is hard for children to grasp this concept, realizing every decision they make stems a different outcome, so reading this story will repeatedly hammer this into their head (safely!).
For example: Cat wants cupcake, cat wants sprinkles, cat spills sprinkles, and cat must clean it up. (In simplest terms) In the future, hopefully this story will pop into their head just as their marker is about to draw on your newly painted walls.

Terrence Malick Speaks
Since Telluride ran in late August, I've been hearing some really great things about the Chilean political drama No. (Not that there are many Chilean political dramas I could've named at the drop of a hat.) The praise of smart folks is, for me, more than sufficient, but with this also being winner of the Art Cinema Award at this year's Cannes Film Festival and the nation's top dog in the Best Foreign Language Oscar race, the Pablo Larraín-helmed, Gael García Bernal-starring picture has become something to watch out for.
It only seems kind of fitting, then, that I find it easy to get into the groove of No's trailer. I'll admit to being sold, in some regard, upon discovering the film is in 4:3 and uses a film stock from the time — please, sue me for being a geek — but, past such superficial qualities, seeing the historicomic dimensions many have talked about on display just allows for something to click. While more Bernal is always a good thing, obviously, you've got a good laugh or two to take in at the same time — and how many true-life films offer that?
The trailer can be seen below (via Yahoo!):
Synopsis: When Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet calls for a referendum to decide his permanence in power, the opposition persuades a young advertising executive to head its campaign. With limited resources and under scrutiny, he conceives a plan to win the election.
No will next play at the Sundance Film Festival in January; Sony Pictures Classics are expected to release the film sometime next year.
Are you sold by this preview? What about it stands out?

Fighting Corruption, Promoting Good Governance
This publication presents A Framework for Commonwealth Principles on Promoting Good Governance and Combating Corruption, which was endorsed by Heads of Government at their Summit in Durban in 1999 as the basis for pursuing concerted strategies based on 'zero tolerance' for all types of corruption at national and global levels. Developed by an independent Commonwealth Expert Group, it underscores the Commonwealth's commitment to promoting good governance and combating corruption. The publication also includes the full report of the Expert Group, which helps to clarify the causes and consequences of poor governance and corruption. It identifies the elements of national strategies that countries can adopt to combat corruption effectively, and breaks new ground by examining the global dimensions of corruption and identifying gaps in current international efforts and initiatives to fight it.

A man was leaving a convenience store with his morning coffee when he noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery.
A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50
feet behind the first one.
Behind the second hearse was a solitary man walking a dog on a leash.
Behind him, a short distance back, were about 200 men walking single file.
The man couldn't stand the curiosity. He respectfully approached the man walking the dog and said, 'I am so sorry for your loss, and this may be a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?'
'My wife's.
''What happened to her?'
The man replied, 'My dog attacked and killed her'
He inquired further, 'But who is in the second hearse?'
The man answered, 'My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife when the dog turned on her.'
A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two men.
'Can I borrow the dog?'
The man replied, 'Get in line.'

WASHINGTON -- A gauge of U.S. factory activity rose in October, a sign the manufacturing sector could be stabilizing after two years of challenging conditions.
The Institute for Supply Management on Tuesday said its purchasing manufacturers' index rose to 51.9 in October from 51.5 in September. A reading above 50 indicates that factory activity is growing, while a reading under 50 signals contraction.
Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had expected an October reading of 52.0.
The index for new orders dropped, but those for production and employment both rose.
Bradley Holcomb, who oversees the ISM's survey, said the report showed the sector chugging along in slow growth mode, but that growth was"starting to feel a little more consistent," a promising sign for the fourth quarter.
He noted comments from survey participants about future business conditions were generally positive, with just a few exceptions. He cited improving conditions in the global economy and the imminent conclusion of the U.S. presidential election.
"It will be good for all of us and the country to get that behind us so we kind of know where we're going," Mr. Holcomb said.
U.S. companies have been slow to invest in new equipment and structures, especially in the energy industry. But the softness has extended to other sectors as well, such as transport and residential construction, dragging down overall economic growth.
A separate measure of manufacturing-sector activity from private data provider Markit showed its manufacturing purchasing managers index rebounded in October to 53.4, its highest level in a year, with strength in new orders andoutput. That follows a reading of 51.5 in September.

Lawrence E. Corbridge Quotes
Surrender your will to Him. Unconditionally. Withhold nothing. Turn it all over to Him; all of your desires, wishes, dreams and hopes. Trust in Him. Trust Him who knows all things. Trust Him who has all power. Trust Him whose love for you is perfect. Trust Him, who alone suffered, paid, and atoned for you sins, and for your weaknesses as well. Trust Him that He will make of you immeasurably more than what you will ever, ever, in all eternity make of yourself. He will create of you a masterpiece. You will create of you only a smudge. You will create an ordinary man. He will create a God.

Organizing A Naming Ceremony
After having their child, parents may decide against the popular christening that many look on as a Christian ceremony and rather choose to do a naming ceremony. This is a way to celebrate the coming of the child. Through this ceremony, you can introduce the child to the whole world and possibly get mentors to be there throughout the child's life.
When planning a naming ceremony, there are a couple of things to consider. You will have to get a naming celebrant, choose a date and venue for the celebration, as well as choose mentors. All of these should be done in good time to ensure the ceremony is not disturbed in anyway.
Choosing a celebrant
There are people who are licensed to perform the ceremony. It is important to choose the right celebrant for the occasion. To locate a celebrant, you can ask around for some useful clues. However, the best help is the internet where it is more comfortable and convenient to do a quick search. Make sure you have a settled date before you contact the celebrant. This will ensure you that you choose a celebrant who is free on the said date.
Choose a venue
When you have a date for the occasion and also have a celebrant for the date, make sure to look for the appropriate venue for that date. There are many places around town that will be willing to host such an event. The issue will be to find a venue that will be available for the day. However, by diligently searching, you should be able to get the right venue.
Choose the baby's mentors
In Christian ceremonies, you will try to find Godparents to serve as spiritual guidance for the baby. However, for a naming ceremony, you will have to get people to serve as mentors. This would be close friends or families. The role of the mentor will be to serve as guardians for the child but not necessarily in a spiritual perspective.
Apart from getting a celebrant, choosing a mentor and getting the right venue, you will also have to send invites early. This is the kind of ceremony where you will want to see all your close friends. To make sure you have all the people you really want to at the event, you have to inform them of the event very early.
Also do not forget the food and drinks for the day. If you can't do this yourself, think of getting a caterer to handle everything for the day. At the end of the day is you start planning for the day early, you should be able to have everything in place for the day

David Miliband fancies himself as an unlikely saviour of the pub: the Labour leadership candidate's campaign now includes proposals to "save British pubs" and the MP has launched a stinging attack on the controversial "beer tie".
On his website, Mr Miliband said: "One of the biggest problems facing pubs is the 'tie' – forcing some pub landlords to buy their beer and other services solely from the pub companies ('pubcos') they rent from. This means many of them pay over the odds, which reduces their profitability and increases prices for drinkers."
The controversy over the tie is not new. The Campaign for Real Ale has been pushing for reform of the tie since the mid-1980s, claiming it leads to the big pubcos, such as Punch Taverns and Enterprise Inns, inflating the price of beer by up to 50p a pint at tenanted and leased pubs.
A Camra spokesman yesterday said: "It is not just about price, it is about quality, pubs closing and the inability of pubs to stock local beers." Six pubs are closing a day, he said, and "many of these are tied pubs".
Last October, however, the Office of Fair Trading found "no evidence" that the beer tie was resulting in competition problems, following a "super complaint" submitted by Camra three months previously. Camra appealed against this decision in December and the OFT agreed to reopen its inquiry into the tenanted pub market in February. It is due to publish its final views next month.
Meanwhile, Camra says that Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, and Ed Davey, the Consumer minister, have given a commitment to hold the pubcos to a deadline of June 2011 to improve treatment of licensees.
As for Mr Miliband, some publicans complain that despite his "save the British pub" measures, the last Government's hikes in beer duty and red tape were as damaging as the tie.

Lessons Learned
I can only imagine how Mrs. Richards must have felt that Wednesday in class. She probably had about 30 fifth graders at the brink of puberty grating on every one of her last nerves. She probably had parents asking why their children weren't getting A's. Perhaps there was some hyper suck-up of a student begging her to let them erase the chalkboard. And then there was Bobby. He wasn't the brightest crayon in the box. He got distracted a lot, and here lately he was falling asleep in class. To top it off he had missed school since last Friday. She had given him homework, but of course, he hadn't done it. She was at her breaking point. She walked up to Bobby, who was staring out the window blankly. "Bobby" she stabs, "what in the world was more important this weekend than doing your homework?" Bobby looks down, "My mom died." Lucky, lucky Mrs Richards. Bobby is my now a grown man with three kids, and I just happen to be his oldest. My dad lost his mother when he was only 12 years old. Years later, when he was 24, he looked down at his newborn daughter and passed on one of the only things he had left of his mom; her name. My middle name is Camilla, and I am named after a grandmother I never knew...in person. Sometimes people leave us far too soon. We are left to question why they leave so quickly, or why, if you're a Christian, God would call them home. My father I am sure grappled with these questions. To many it may seem that my father was robbed of his mother, but God works in mysterious ways. Years after my grandmothers death my father was contacted by a woman from Wisconsin. Her name was Kathy, and her mother, Kitty, was a friend of my grandmothers. Turns out that Kitty saved everything, including about 60 letters my grandmother had mailed her. Kathy was wondering if my father would want them back and he leaped at the opportunity. Not only did he get to read these letters and get to know a woman he lost too soon, but now her grandchildren would know her too. The even more awesome thing? My children, and their children, and my great grand children will get to know her too. Lucky, lucky them. When Jesus left the disciples, he had been with them for three short years. I am sure that they also felt he was taken too soon. Believers today know the rest of the story, but they didn't. I am sure they might have felt a lot like my dad in fifth grade, and when he rose three days later, they probably felt elation that far outweighs what my father felt when he received those letters. That being said, for those of us who weren't there that day, we still get to read the letters that were left behind. We still get to learn about and get to know a man that we have yet to meet. And the awesome thing?? We get to pass these things down, and we know that we aren't alone. We have the word of God, the Spirit of the Father, and the fellowship of believers. Lucky, lucky us.

All Things New
I do not take very good care of my contacts. Really, there are some things that I am just not that good at; contact care is one of them. I wear "disposable" contacts. I am like my father though and I really don't think the things are meant to be thrown away...ever. I tested this theory and wore the SAME PAIR OF DISPOSABLES FOR A YEAR. In truth I was lazy and poor and just didn't want to spend the money on contact lenses. There was also a bond with this particular pair of contacts. I read the pregnancy test that confirmed I was pregnant with them. I cried becuase I found out I was pregnant in them. I moved to E-town in them. I looked down at my little girl in them for the first time, and cried again. And there was the fact that left contact was my JESUS contact...yes for they had been brought back from the dead not once...but twice! I once dropped my left contact in the bathroom. Jeff and I combed the floor for twenty minutes...and then we found it....ON JEFF'S KNEE. It was rolled up in a little ball and I had to be at work in thirty minutes. I grabbed the solution, rubbed a little on, and popped the bad boy in. LIKE NEW, no lie. All was well. Then came the day I thought that I had lost left contact for good. Apparently the contact didn't make it into the case one evening, and I found it in the morning dried and crunchy by the nightstand. I knew this was not good, but I refused to give up hope, or more importantly give into wearing my glasses. So I took my faithful bottle of solution and massaged left contact back to life. What next??? I popped that bad boy in. LIKE NEW, no lie. I finally gave in and got new contacts after a trip to the bowling alley. Apparently not changing my contacts in a year caused my eyes to glow under black light. Who knew? Anyway, today I was reading 2 Colossians 5:17-21 and I thought yet again of left contact. It seemed that everytime all hope seemed to be lost I loved on left contact a little and he came back to life. I like to think that God sometimes sees me as left contact. I get caught up on the wrong things and end up curled up in a little ball, or I don't get enough spirtual water and end up a little crunchy. The cool thing is that Jesus doesn't give up on me, kind of the way I didn't give up on left contact. Even better, he doesn't trade me in if I glow under a black light. Nope, He just loves me back to wear I should be, pulls me in the right direction. And you know what? I end up LIKE NEW, no lie.

Forgiveness and Toilet Seats
Jeff left the toilet seat up…again. When I was pregnant I begged him not to leave the seat up. I just had these horrible visions of getting up to go to the bathroom at 4 in the morning and feeling the cool splash of toilet water against my bum. Not only that, but if I did fall in the toilet I would probably have to yell for about 15 minutes to wake him so he could free from my porcelain prison. Well as luck would have it, one night when I was about eight months pregnant, I waddled into the bathroom. Lo and behold I looked at the seat before I sat and what did my wondering eyes behold? The seat….in the up position. I was fuming. I did my business and hobbled back to bed but stayed up half the night thinking about what would have happened if I had sat down. I was so angry. How could Jeff be so insensitive?? I was carrying his child! I could have been stuck…in the toilet!! That just isn't sanitary. I did the only thing a pregnant wife could do…. "Dear Lord, I know that this might sound spiteful…but please let Jeff fall in the toilet. If he knows what it feels like he won't do it again. Amen." Before I could even finish my vindictive little prayer this wave of conviction came over me. Having Jeff fall in the toilet wouldn't fix the issue in my heart…I had to forgive Jeff for his shortcomings and move on. Forgiveness, especially in relationships is a hard thing sometimes. The Bible studies I have been doing this week have talked a lot about forgiveness, and how much we have been forgiven of. Sometimes its hard to forgive others, especially when you've asked them not to do something, or told them how it hurts you. Sometimes what others do to us hurts us physically. Sometimes they leave emotional scars. Sometimes they get our butts wet. Either way, we can't control what others do to us, only how we react to it. In the end I know Jesus understood this concept. He forgave the very people who crucified him and put him to death. Even if you don't believe in his resurrection you have to acknowledge how phenomenal an act that is and admire it. If he can do that I can forgive people who might hurt me…or who leave the toilet seat up.

Feels like the baby is moving right over in my left side, sounds silly but is that possible??
Hi all. Sorry probably a silly question but I am 17+5 and this is my first, thinking over the last week that I have started to feel the baby move, kind of a fluttering popping feeling and happening a few times a day, different to at the start. Currently I can feel it quite strongly over to the left, but it's almost my side, does this sound like it is the baby moving or is it still likely to be gas?

Guys: How To Develop Your "Swagger" To Attract More Women Pt.3 - Your Walk
When it comes to attracting a mate just by walking, women are the best at it. They walk with awareness and a lot of confidence. So what can you do? The exact same thing.
Here's how:
- Walk with awareness. Women are always aware of who's around them when they walk-and they tend to put an extra bounce in their step when they see a man that they like. And more of than not, that man will move to her quick like a moth to a flame. Always, always, always notice who is around you, and walk with a purpose to attract.
- Walk with confidence. You don't have to be a male model to have a strong walk. But you do need to have good posture, and a walk that oozes confidence. Walk as if you have no care in the world. Be comfortable, relaxed, and happy. If you're depressed, angry, or tired, it will show in your walk.
So remember, the way you carry yourself, dress, talk, and even walk can either attract a potential mate, or repel her. In other words, you need to develop some "swagger"-and how you walk plays a huge role in addition to your overall image.
Right so. The way we carry ourselves tells people a lot about us. Is it me or does Obama have a bit of a swagger when he walks? Can't help noticing it.
I am good looking going to mall tomorrow kinda nervous any tips on how to get a number

The Man Behind the Book(1996)
A non fiction book by Louis Auchincloss
The highly acclaimed and prodigious Louis Auchincloss has penned a collection of literary essays profiling 23 authors who have influenced his writing. Capturing the famous and the obscure, Auchincloss renders literary sketches in the style of Lytton Strachey; these portraits say almost as much about their author as their subject. Taking in writers ranging from Henry James to Ivy Compton-Burnett, Auchincloss displays a keen eye for distinction and makes devastating use of underhanded qualifications. In addition to being a revelation of Auchincloss's influences and character, The Man Behind the Book is an admirable work of literary reclamation.

'My family slept outside for three nights. Snow was falling,' said Vezo Bobokhidze, a 47- year-old train mechanic, after his flight from Abkhazia to Kutaisi, the main government- controlled town in western Georgia. He put his finger through his split and worn-out shoes. 'It all happened so suddenly. I had the car ready with petrol and our things. But our house was hit in the shelling and destroyed. Now all we have is this blanket.'
Demoralised forces loyal to the Georgian president, Eduard Shevardnadze, suffered further defeat yesterday, deepening the two-year crisis that has split the former Soviet republic of 5 million people into five increasingly self-governing parts. Mr Shevardnadze's men were forced out of the Black Sea port of Poti in a dawn attack by rebels loyal to ex-president Zviad Gamsakhurdia, who leads the 1.7 million ethnic Mengrelians of western Georgia, and controls a belt of land between Abkhazia and the rest of Georgia. The fate of Poti's inhabitants was not immediately known, but they are mostly Mengrelians likely to accept the rule of the 'Zviadisti' rebels.
A fresh human disaster has followed the panic and the rout of Georgian forces from the autonomous Black Sea republic of Abkhazia, as the last of 200,000 Georgians flee their homes in the subtropical coastal strip. It is a tragic paradox that, as the conflicts of the Caucasus remain obscure to the outside world, few of its local victims understand what is happening to them. Most take refuge, like their competing leaders, in cursing presumed plots by neo-imperialist forces in Russia.
By a roadside east of Kutaisi, a middle-aged secretary of a collective farm burst into tears, barely able to speak about her flight from Abkhazia. She contemplated her small old broken-down car, loaded with fellow workers and their possessions, all stranded after a tea-leaf-cutting tractor that had been towing them ran out of fuel. Other Georgians who had fled south from Abkhazia were squashed into open- topped trucks and horse-drawn carts, or pushed their bags in wheelbarrows and prams towards new lives in pokey old hotels, disused sanatoria or the crowded houses of relatives.
Nobody seems sure exactly how many people need urgent assistance, a familiar phenomenon all over the Caucasus, where one in 10 of the combined populations of Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia has been displaced over the past five years. Family ties are strong, so some relatives take several refugees' families under their roofs, or help them to build new homes.
Georgians made up 45 per cent of the pre-war population of Abkhazia, so Mr Shevardnadze's estimate of a total 200,000 displaced seems reasonable, though many left some time ago.
'There are 100,000 refugees in our area, but Tbilisi takes no heed of that,' said Mr Gamsakhurdia. 'They don't want to help us. We are under blockade. We have no fuel, no gas and no bread. This is your great and honest and democratic Shevardnadze.'
Mr Gamsakhurdia's main town of Zugdidi continued to receive electricity through Abkhazia, but he said he did not have enough food for his own people, let alone newcomers.
MOSCOW - Russia's Foreign Ministry said yesterday it was prepared to send peace- keeping troops to Georgia to oversee any peace settlement, Reuter reports. A ministry statement denounced both the advance by Abkhazian separatists and other insurgents backed by Mr Gamsakhurdia. 'The irresponsible actions of the separatists and the supporters of Zviad Gamsakhurdia have brought that country to the verge of civil war,' the statement said. 'The very existence of the Georgian state is in question.'

- Trick - The green button changes position after the second click - be careful when you click.
- Math - 5
- Unscramble - more scrambled eggs
- Unscramble - butter

- Trick Question - Yes
- A coin collector
- Trick Question - He never boarded the Ark ( Moses didn't, Noah did)
- Trick Question - Earth can't be removed from a hole
- Unscramble - milk
- Unscramble - macromedia (has an 'r' too many but its the only answer that works.
- Math - 4
- Progression - [in order] call, ball
- Memory Test - This one is tricky - You have to remember the steps. The buttons change positions so you might need to write down the steps because they remove the instructions after you click. Careful when clicking because the buttons switch positions. Also after you click the yellow button twice it may appear there is no yellow button in the second row. Its right between the two green ones ( look really carefully - use your glasses if you have to).
- Unscramble - Numismatist
Thanks for the tips! The 'Stupid Test 3' was pretty challenging!
this is a stupid game
i never beat these i really hate the impossible quiz lol

numismatist is a big word
Thanks for the tips! They really helped. I could beat it without your help! thanks a lot!!!!!
thanks. that quiz was pretty hardd!
i can't beat the second last question, do EVERY THING right but it sends me back all the time
im phat =]
danx 4 da help phatty
By the way, the third to last question (math) does not calculate to 4. Try all number 1-9... the lowest number you can calculate is 5 (that is of course picking 1 as your starting number). Whoever wrote this test is really not as intlligent as they think they are.
Whoever made this game was not as intelligent as they think they are. The 4th from the last question does not calculate to 4, regardless what number you pick. The smallest answer you can calculate is 5 and that, of course, is using 1 as your starting number. Rediculous!!!!! How did you calculate 4?! I did not have any issues with any of the other math related questions... math is one of my best subjects. :/
i completed the stupid test 3!!! thx 4 whoeva done diz cause i would not have done it

COLE is a type of cabbage, i.e. coleslaw.

P.S. (My friend told me to say DUDE 'SUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
that is so easy i yall did't git it how stupid are yall?LOL!
THIS IS EASY lOL !!!!!!!
This test would be significantly more fun if they spelled the words correctly themselves. I also question their second match test (I believe a step is missing as you only will get the number 4 if you start with 0 which is not what the instructions imply or state). The stupid people on this test are those who wrote it.
That was frekin' hard but I managed to get through it without passing out,I. THAT WAS WICKED AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4 the last 1 all u have to do is click the red in the second row 1 time, the blue in the first row 2 times, the green in the 2nd row 1 time and the yellow in the 2nd row 3 times. be careful they move and in the yellow for the last click its in between the green ones but its really teeny tiny!!! :)
That was VERY challenging!-Goku

hihi you be strupid wow how is it hard im 9 its easybv expecially with the answers

wow... i now have a head ache, whatever little POS NERD FAG made up this quiz needs to go give himself a swirly and weggie himself from a building! I hate him, and it makes me even more mad that he is probably sitting at his computer just laughing his ass off because he made a dumb quiz with the most random answers, and he thinks he's the most hot shit in the world! well i'll go to his house and literally blow it up, like no more nerdy fag. stupid stupid questions like his "magic math" continued, and he doesn't right in the last question on subtract your original number, like everyone is just supposed to randomly know to do that? i hate him, i don't hate a lot of people that i even know, and i don't know him at all and hate him so much. if the creator of this quiz happens to read this, message me on MySpace, http://www.myspace.com/mrjoshisme/ ... seriously, we have some things to "discuss", and i was just kidding about the "blowing up your house"... maybe. ;)
omg!!! i love this game
its cool that you know the answers but its a bit suss. Did u make the quiz?
i didn't now the answer 2 any of these questions, so it was nice 2 see the other side of the quiz instead of being sent back 2 the start
right click then press play then it will skip to the next level
It was sssooo easy for me!
AGAIN my answer didn't work! No.2...Typed in ''celery'' and pressed enter...didn't work!
the second question is imposable but what u posted it did helped me not a lot because i always got it wrong jerk
The answer for #2 that u gave me is wrong! It is saying to me it is wrong! DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!
is hard there buttons
wow that really helped me since i used the answers 1 time i remember all the answer thanks for all the help and number 2 is right it worked for me
i still can't get the next to the last one!!!!
They're right. This is a 'Stupid' test, because who ever made it, clearly has an IQ lower than a fcking potatoe. PLEASE learn how to spell, and use the RIGHT answers, next time you decide to make another game like this. Really. Waste of time for everyone who plays it.
this game was stupid the most stupidest game
btw there is one last test. They mispelled aren't in the congratulations

2009 Mazda 5 - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
From a GTI to a Mazda 5 GT
By Dan on
Vehicle2009 Mazda 5 Grand Touring 4dr Minivan (2.3L 4cyl 5A)
ReviewAs a father of 4, it was finally time to move on from my little five speed VW GTI. We needed an alternative to my wife's Chevy Suburban that would fit the entire family, while getting decent gas mileage and being fun to drive. The Mazda 5 fits the bill. Got the Grand Touring in Silver with black leather. While the quality of materials is a definite step down from the VW, the car is a great value for the price. This car offers everything I need in a tidy and sporty package: room for six (with some compromises on the part of all), very well equipped for the price, good looks, he "wow, this is cool" factor from my daughters' friends, solid handling. Very happy with my purchase!
Best FeaturesLove the Bluetooth for my mobile phone, though it has been a bit glitchy at times. Extremely flexible interior with fold flat seats. Auto climate control, which I missed from my Audi A6 (two cars ago). Auxiliary jack for iPod. Rear air and middle row captain's chairs for my girls. Regular gas!
Worst FeaturesA bit more power, but sticking with a four cylinder. Automatically locking doors. Larger sunroof that retracts into the roof, rather than jutting out above the roof. Better quality interior materials. Standard iPod module, rather than just an aux jack.

Lexus automobile owners have become used to a certain level of a reputation for safety when driving their SC430 around town. You bought your SC430 because its sporty handling and Japanese engineering struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? While it's not hard to locate replacement parts for Lexus vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to maintain your car or truck. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs these days.
If you can't control your car or truck, then tragedy surely awaits. Since the 1970s, the same anti-lock brakes found on your Lexus SC430 are responsible for reducing the quantity and severity of collisions dramatically. The Lexus SC430 ABS wheel speed sensors you see at each wheel meter the speed that you are traveling, and the ABS module looks for readings from different sensors that do not align. It responds to the signal from your ABS speed sensor by intermittently applying the brakes at different calipers in order to safely restore control to your car or truck.
Don't let a broken ABS Wheel Speed Sensor bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the highest quality replacement parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Lexus SC430 part for your project or repair. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Lexus SC430 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor for your 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 model.

Pietersen, who had belted Cameron White for three sixes in an imperious stay at the crease, was rocked back as he misjudged a ball from McGrath when he was on 73.
Charging down the wicket to McGrath, a tactic he used to good effect in the recent Ashes series, Pietersen collapsed to the floor in agony after the blow to his right side and needed several minutes to compose himself.
He received treatment from the England physio, but he was in clear pain for the remainder of his innings before finally holing out to long-on for a defiant 82 in England's total of 242 for eight.
England confirmed Pietersen, a rare good performer in his side's 5-0 Ashes defeat, would not take the field for the start of the Australian innings as he was taken for the precautionary scan.
