I think it's the eyes. There's less of en emphasis on using them in modern acting (especially TV), and celebrities -as opposed to traditional actors- are less likely to exercise that kind of discipline anyway.
Plus people in general probably assume Vulcans are wooden, just from pop culture. And that fans are socially-challenged people who go around mimicking Spock or something. So what's your typical TV actor supposed to do if he lands a ST gig?
'Unification' -- I would see as being product of a more episodic time when most of the planets visited by the Enterprise had only a dozen inhabitants on them, despite more progressive stories like The Undiscovered Country attempting to show otherwise. For every 'Sins of the Father' there was a 'Friday's Child' or a 'Private Little War' (really, why would a space-faring people like the Kilingons feel the need to negotiate or manipulate the natives of these dozen-populated worlds? They don't have a prime directive).
Anyway, if the Vulcan's really believe that "peace should not depend on force," maybe you really could occupy their planet with just a couple ships. It would be like occupying the capital and shutting down the government, however temporarily. The Federation could root them out, but time and policy would be a factor. There might even be pressure to dismiss a Vulcan/Romulan conflict as an "internal matter" much as what happened with the Kingon civil war in 'Redemption'. Does any of this excuse the writers... probably not. But the fact that Vulcans suddenly had a sizeable military (and were able to use it) on ENT probably should have been another clue that the three-parter would only end the way it did.
While I do not perceive Blalock's or Russ' performances as stellar I doubt that they were inspired by this Sheldon Cooperish pop cultural image of Trek fans and thus, as you pointed out, indirectly Vulcans. That would be pretty bad research by the actors and pretty bad directing which doesn't correct such errors.
I'd rather say that Blalock's T'Pol suffers from being often too wooden or too emotional, i.e. missing this sweet spot which Nimoy hit so often, this sweet spot of conveying ample of feelings between the lines via letting Spock pretend to be utterly distanced and rational while actually being ironic, sarcastic, arrogant, condescending or whatever.
I doubt that a Romulan invasion of Vulcan would be perceived as internal matter, the Vulcans are after all part of the Federation (think about your own fairly federal country, even die hard "more state power" Southerners who whine about DC and want less central power would never suggest that states should have their own military; if there is one thing you do together in a Federation it is defend your borders) and do not want to have to do anything with Romulus.
After all the main obscenity (from a Vulcan point of view) of Ambassador Spock's efforts towards peace is not so much doing this work in secret and on enemy territory but rather acknowledging via his acts that Romulus exists. At least this is how I read Balance of Terror. The Vulcans knew very well who the Romulans are but were embarrassed to reveal it after the war, they prefer to disavow the very existence of their distant brothers because they remind them of their past and who they could easily become. And I guess the empire wants to conquer Vulcan not because of military-strategic considerations but because they wanna annihilate this cultural mirror image of themselves. One culture pretends the other is not there whereas the other strives to eradicate the other. Cultural lunacy in the guise of cold logic, isn't this why we love these two Trek races?
There are other perspectives besides the psychoanalytical one. You could wear e.g. mythological-historical glasses and then the Vulcan-Romulan story would become the Greek-Roman one: Aeneas flees from Greece after the Trojan War, founds Rome and "later" (shift from mythology to history) the Romans come back and conquer Greece.
OK, this is just fooling around but it is kind of fun that there are such similarities.
About Vulcan pacifism, I don't perceive such a clear cut after the Vulcan Reformation. Sure, there are these lines in United
I guess that the shift rather occurred after the foundation of the Federation, when Vulcan did not have to defend its territory on its own anymore, when defense became a common endeavour. There are probably relatively more Vulcan science officers than Andorian tactical officers in Starfleet.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam
I always imagined that planned invasion as Romulan special forces who take control of key points on Vulcan as a spearhead to a larger fleet action that would follow.
Surely large scale war would follow such an action. The taking of the Vulcan capital would only be an opening move.
Wow this thread has moved on a lot since I looked at it the other day. Will have a proper read over the weekend, but just to add my 2-cents on the changes to the Vulcans in Ent:
As I've said I liked what they did with the Vulcan's, having them as passively hostile and almost like a disapproving parent was in my opinion probably the biggest and best change made to the show (and not totally out of the blue, DS9's Take me out to the holosuite was a starting point to this), quite a bold statement to make but it's because it opened up so many doors for story telling and the episodes that focus on it are the one's above all others that feel like Ent and that could only be done on Ent with that set of characters.
As has been said, Archer being all hot-headed and a bit of an idiot makes sense when you consider his history with the Vulcan's and his father. Couple all this with the Andorian's in The Andorian Incident and you've got the got the setup for the best (IMO) ongoing storyline in Ent.
I'm not saying it was done perfectly everytime and I agree that the Vulcan's attitude came across as a bit forced and needlessly confrontational but compared to some of the other ongoing storylines in Ent and the other series it stands up pretty well.
Looking at it the other way, had they not changed the Vulcan's, and instead kept them as the boring, flat species they were in TNG, which is often (and mostly for very good reasons) put up as the golden standard to which everything is compared, then the show would have been much worse for it.

All actors playing Vulcan's should have watched Leonard and Lenard in action to show that you can get emotion and a gravitas in your performance without coming across as emotional, and in fact be quite witty and sympathetic. Too many actors played Vulcan's as mindless machines, especially in TNG.
Had TWOK made Saavik's half-Romulan ancestry canon then it would have better explained her performance. Curtis was quite flat and boring, she had the stoicness and emotionless part of it right but Saavik goes immediately from having an edge and being interesting in TWOK to totally forgettable.
I don't think Russ was bad as Tuvok, I do think poor use was made of him in Voyager, same as Chakotay really, who started with claws and fire then was totally emasculated under Janeway, in a way Tuvok suffered the same fate in that he was meant to be a voice of reason and sage like and just plain wasn't. Episodes that should have raised his character and made him interesting singularly failed to. Examples being Tuvix, Prime Factors (which would have been good but was never followed up on), Learning Curve (same as Prime Factors), Innocence, Flashback, Alter Ego, Riddles... I could go on.
Rise and Gravity try to make him more endearing but they just don't really work. Flashback was hugely disappointing to me on several levels but amongst other things it could have better expanded on Tuvok's character. I think part of the problem was having Neelix as his "McCoy" if you get what I mean. In a strange sort of way Neelix was really quite racist in his refusal to accept Tuvok for how he was. In TOS you had McCoy being openly racist but Spock always came back with retorts and you knew later that it was banter amongst friends. Tuvok is just continually irritated by Neelix as it the rest of the audience but not in a way that does anything for Tuvok's character.
Anyway I digress. Returning to ENT, I enjoyed T'Pol's character, like Ryan she avoided her character just being used as eye candy with strong performances and ENT in general made Vulcan's seem more real IMO. They weren't perfectly portrayed by any means but at the very least it was refreshing and an actual change of franchise direction rather than a slightly different coat of paint.
I totally agree with everything you said.
About Neelix, I wanna add that I do not think it was a coincidence that it was precisely the seemingly most open-minded "let's immediately embrace new people" fellow who treated Tuvok like this. Political correctness is often quite racist on the second glance (My favourite example is the term Native American which is utterly racist, it implies that these guys belong to nature whereas White people brought culture to the continent. Indian is a much better term as it is an eternal monument to White man's stupidity.)
About ENT, I do not think that Blalock or the other actors who played Vulcans were particularly good (I have a weakness for Graham's Soval though). I think it were rather the scripts which made the Vulcans become interesting again. In my opinion ALL the stories which focus on the Vulcans are good whereas stories which deal with a particular Vulcan (of course mostly T'Pol) are sometimes good and sometimes bad. If TOS was the series which explored one Vulcan ENT was the show which explored Vulcankind (interestingly Shran was basically like Spock in this respect, i.e. an unfamiliar species was explored mainly via one character).
Take Fusion. I do not think that the acting of the bad guy who mind-rapes T'Pol is that good (I like the actor though who plays the guy who did not have contact with his terminally ill father but changed his mind) but it was beautiful to have an episode which shows the benefits and problems of "easing up". Before this episode came along one story contained only an argument for (TFF) or against (24th century Spock) Vulcan orthodoxy.

That, and Manny Coto had a lot to do with improving Enterprise.
The big problem with trying to do a prequel series is conceptual, both visually and ideologically.
Our vision of the future in the 60's was radically different from the vision of the future in the 90's or 2000's.
On a visual level, how do we make technology look 100 years primitive compared to Kirk's time, and yet look cooler than the stuff we have present day, which looks cooler even than Kirk's tech? That was a big problem.
Ideologically, yeah, the crew had to be written up rather enthusiastic and impulsive. They are not constrained by the Prime Directive. They could get away with some stuff that future generations could not (without some creative maneuvering and log entries). Of course, their actions are a large part of why the PD was created in the first place.
Graham's Soval gets two thumbs up from me as well, he truly grew into that role making Soval quite likeable at the end again making him sympathetic and give off emotion without being emotional. I think I like Blalock more than you it seems Horatio, I think she certainly got the good stories, much like Ryan and Picardo before her to the detriment of most of their respective cast members, but she deserved the attention and again like Ryan it wasn't just her physcial attributes that did it. IMO bad scenes and episodes were rarely let down by her performance, the only thing that really annoyed me was the pouting!
I'm intriuged about your Shran-Spock comparison, I hadn't thought about it that way but it makes sense.
What they could have changed were the trek cliches, as in NO TRANSPORTERS and as much as I liked them no anti-matter torpedoes. Even more than that and probsbly one of the more recognisable cliches was the hull plating/shields can take two hits, on the third hit we're defenseless, this ticked me off and has been an unchanged story device used for over 40 years and that lost its dramatic effect more or less the second time it was used. What would have been effective here would have been the crew thinking the plating was going to protect them then have a crippling blow from the first shot, this could have drilled home that the ship was delicate like a crystal flower and would have opened the door to different stoytelling through ship battles.
I totally agree, Neelix didn't go anywhere. He is supposed to be the gypsy of the Delta Quadrant yet settles in more easily than the Maquis and doesn't want to really go anywhere or achieve anything. Not that all characters have to be dynamic, guys like Paris should and guys like Tuvok must stay the same.
Perhaps this structural problem of the series has something to do with Janeway. Like many women who started to occupy hitherto male-dominated positions in the 80s and 90s Janeway was often "more man than men" (don't call me a male chauvinist, women noticed this "Thatcher factor"' as well: And so, watching as our women have moved into leadership roles, I noticed that, initially, to get into those positions, the women were trying to be more men?more male than the men. And there was a stridency and an anger in some of those early women leaders, which is understandable. - Jane Goodall) and often very maternal which is why she is often criticized as a decentered character. As any challenge to her authority would have made it necessary for her to be even more male it was impossible to have any Chakotay-Janeway rivalry concerning the "throne" in the first season or any other strong characters which includes a better Neelix that isn't satisfied with cooking or playing morale officer.
Note again that this isn't a sexist point, if someone like Jadzia Dax had command she would be more relaxed and able to endure strong people besides herself.
About T'Pol, the problem was often lack of subtlety. Take the Trellium addiction stuff in Season 3 and the ensuing romance with Trip. Why humanize her like this and in such a soapish manner when Blalock can, to use your words, "give off emotion without being emotional" perfectly fine like e.g. in the sublime final scene of the series (for me Terra Prime and not These Are the Voyages... is the proper end of Enterprise)?
So I guess I have rather an issue with the writing, if she gets a good Nimoyesque scene (in your sense of showing feeling precisely via not showing any directly) she can play it nearly as well as Nimoy.
By the way, this subtle style is similar to how Spiner played Data although the difference is of course that Vulcans have emotions but show little of them whereas Data is ontologically split: he is not supposed to have emotions, he clearly has none in a "neurological" sense but it is nonetheless obvious* to everybody that he has feelings (unless you really wanna argue that he just emulates human behaviour when he works like crazy to save his dieing daughter). He might express something like friendship fairly technical ("As I experience certain sensory input patterns, my mental pathways become accustomed to them. The inputs eventually are anticipated, and even missed when absent.") but so what, it is not like he is a complex sentient machine whereas we are complex sentient machines plus some unknown X. Our unknown X that arises out of biological complexity is our consciousness (not just unknown but not knowable, you cannot explain consciousness scientifically as science always seeks automatic mechanisms which is the very opposite of consciousness) and Data is conscious as well so his basic paradox, that he has feelings although he has none, should not surprise us.
* - An exaggeration, I know that unlike the fairly ordinary point that Data often appears to be more human than we are my claim is quite controversial as it is not merely about how Data appears to us but about how he is.
About the technology, just like there is some not-so-obvious serialization in the form of subtle themes running through the show such that you gotta watch the entire thing from beginning to end to appreciate it we also had to wait until one of the last episodes to really see that 22nd technology looks more primitive than 23rd century technology.
This is the tragic paradox of ENT, it only works retroactively, e.g. the nasty Season 1 Vulcans only make sense once you have seen the Vulcan three-parter in Season 4. But by then the ratings were already down and reacting too sluggishly so the series was canceled ... and then everybody watched the last season in reruns or on DVD and loved it (and the folks who did not love any of the gems in S4 need to spend some serious time in a reeducation camp near the Klingon-Orion-Federation border ).
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam

Best wishes on the new job. Family is very important.
Spent 20 years in the military and missed many family activities, specially a lot of the kids growing up. Then took a job teaching at high school level, 336 miles from home, because is was the only decent paying job I could find. Spent 3 years visiting the family on weekends. I missed out on a lot.

While Teotihuacan is an impressive, amazing site that must be seen, but this tour is a waste of time and money. We kept stopping at various souvenir shops along the way that added two hours to our drive and got us to the ruins at 1pm. The guide was possibly knowledgeable, but we'd never know as he only spent the first 15min at the ruins, then left us to roam on our own for the next hour and a half in the blazing sun (while he went back to the van).
If that's something you can live with, then by all means book this tour. But do not book the lunch option because it's at 3pm at a run-down roadside buffet whose only customers are tours. Really bad food and drinks are not included, not even water. Your $10 will go a lot further anywhere else in Mexico City.
Doing what: Teotihuacan Pyramids and Shrine of Guadalupe
My friend and I enjoyed this tour very much. There was only one other person taking it with us so it was a small group. I recommend it to people who want a day tour of a few of the sights in Mexico City. Be prepared to walk and stand quite a bit. Even though there was a van to take us place to place, the best way to see much of the tour was on foot.

This was my second time to use Viator to take a tour with my first one being in Spain. I arrived in Mexico City on a 5 am flight and hopped on this tour that started at 9 am. There was a mixup with which hotel to pick me up but they sent a separate car to pick me up at the correct hotel and then I joined the group. In addition to seeing the Pyramids you also see an area of Aztec ruins in downtown Mexico City, The Virgin of Guadalupe and local crafts, meet Aztec doggies and a do a tequila tasting and then enjoy a delicious meal afterwards. I highly recommend it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the sites and history involved.

We enjoyed a great morning with our guide Lety. We visited 6 different types of 'eateries'', with excellent descriptions of the different foods we were tasting. From tamales to tamarind ice cream, a wonderful walk around the lovely Polanco area, with Lety giving us an insight into the history of not only the food of Mexico City, but its history and culture also. We would highly recommend this tour.

This tour was very interesting and I learned very much by this tour. The guide was very experienced and the pace was unhurried. We had the opportunity to see the Metropolitan Cathedral, the National Palace, we had a glimpse of the Templo Mayor from outside and we could see the Aztec room of the Museum of Anthropology. As I wanted to see the rest of this museum I stayed in the afternoon to continue after lunch. If you are interested in the history of Mexico City I recommend you to join this tour!

Thank you Viator for making a quick 48 hour trip a pleasant experience for a first time visitor. I'm already planning my next visit and will most definitely book another of your tours.

We had one and a half day in Mexico City and wanted to see Guadelupe and the pyramides. So €35pp for the day without the hassle of public transportation, two and a half hours at the pyramides, nice guide and professional driver? Perfect deal! BUT....consider this...we were only with the two of us and we ditched all the shops and workshops you visit along the way within 5 minutes of arrival. So there was for the driver nothing more to do than drive further to the things where we actually booked the tour for! Can you imagine you are in a group of 10 and everybody else likes all these shops? So my advise: book this tour and take charge in guiding your group to the pyramides and not to the shops! Enjoy!

I recommend this experience, well worth the effort of waking up on a vacation day...We were asked to be ready a 06:30am and indeed, at 06:28am our hotel phone rung for us to be picked up. For close to an hour we crisscrossed the streets of Mexico City to pick up other tour members at their hotel while the sun was coming up and the people of Mexico were starting their day. Our guide, Leonardo, was very pleasant and well mannered and very knowledgeable. The beauty of Teotihuacan in the light and coolness of a new day is something that stays with you. Leonardo's explanations and his knowledge gave the visit its substance. Also good to know: a previous visit at the Museo de Antropologia really increases the experience. Also good to know: Coba in the early morning is enchantment. By comparison, we saw Chichen itza during the day and it felt like a circus with vendors everywhere calling you and so many tourists...I definitely recommend the Viator experience of Teotihuacan in the early morning- oranization taken care of so you can enjoy tot he fullest....

I loved this tour. We learnt a lot about the history of Mexico City including the Aztec period, Spanish rule and independent Mexico.

Happy (nearly) New Year, A New Novella, and a Bit about Boxing During the Regency! (Giveaway)
Happy (nearly) New Year Ladies and Gentlemen! May 2013 find you and your families in good health and good sprits. I, myself, have spent the last week a bit under the weather but realized about halfway through my bout of illness that sleeping, reading, and eating was actually a fantastic vacation after all. I quickly got over my melancholia at being bedridden.
Tomorrow is a big day for me! My first ever novella, A SECRET PROPOSAL, will be released on 1/1/13 by St. Martin's Press and I'm so excited to share this story with everyone. It's the tale of Amelia Templeton. Amelia was introduced as a minor character in my debut novel, SECRETS OF A WEDDING NIGHT, and in the novella, you finally get to find out what happened to her.
Amelia's story is set against the backdrop of a Regency-era boxing saloon. I did a bit of research on the sport to ensure that my premise was sound. The Regency did, in fact, have a great love of pugilism and pugilists, the most famous of the lot being John Jackson or "Gentleman Jack." He owned and operated a boxing school of sorts from rented rooms on Bond Street and this is the inspiration for the boxing saloon operated by the hero of A SECRET PROPOSAL, Thaddeus Hammond.

Battle Red Blog takes a look at what Houston's Rick Smith could do to fill the void at nose tackle.
How will that affect the likelihood of him re-signing with the Texans, if at all?
This might be the toughest group to judge, especially for teams that run a 3-4. Your thoughts?
An Outsider's View Of Arian Foster And Shaun Cody.
So you're saying there's a difference? Comparing the performances of Shaun Cody (gag) and Earl Mitchell (yay?).
Earl Mitchell could potentially be the Texans' next nose tackle. Does he have what it takes to cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war?
Who should Wade Phillips pick as the Texans next nose tackle? An analysis of their strengths and weaknesses with a couple of jokes thrown in.
Are you surprised by the Texans' refusal to address nose tackle or safety? You haven't been a fan very long, I see.
Was Shaun Cody the first choice to sign as a free agent nose tackle for the Houston Texans? Apparently not, as there are rumblings that Paul Soliaia of the Miami Dolphins was.

A product emerges from a philosophy.The Kama Sutra Company was created over 40 years ago during the turbulent 1960's. Our first product, Oil of Love, was created to help bring harmony to a world of unrest. Since that time we have expanded our original idea into an entire group of products designed to help loving couples create joyful experiences of intimacy and tenderness in their lives.

What does Kama Sutra mean?
A History of the Kama SutraIt is widely believed that people have been reading the Kama Sutra for thousands of years. Historians have estimated that the Kama Sutra was written by Vatsyayana, a Hindu philosopher, sometime between 400 B.C. and 200 A.D. Certain historians believe that the Kama Sutra was compiled into its most recent form as early as the second century. While many people believe that the Kama Sutra is merely a manual for several unique sexual positions, the Kama Sutra is also a guide for living a virtuous life that is filled with love, family and other pleasures.
The Kama Sutra, a guide for living.The Kama Sutra is a philosophical guide for the three main goals of everyday Indian life, which includes "dharma," or virtuous living, "artha," or material prosperity and "kama," which is aesthetic and erotic pleasure. For many people, it can be incredibly liberating to realize that seeking out sensual pleasures is actually a way you can become a better, more well-rounded human being. The Kama Sutra, when used as it was intended to, can awaken sexual hungers and allow people to become comfortable with expressing themselves in creative ways that can amplify the emotions of affection and love.
Full translations of the Kama Sutra are divided into seven main parts, which include an introductory section, a part on sexual union and sexual acts, a section on how to acquire a wife, another section outlining the duties of a proper wife, a section on the wives of other people, a section on the lives of courtesans and a section on how you can attract attention from the opposite sex. Although many of these sections offer unique insights into the lives of ancient Indian people and Indian cultural traditions, contemporary readers tend to associate the Kama Sutra with simply being a sex manual.
While many readers might find the sections on the acquisition of a wife and becoming irresistible to the opposite sex quite alluring, it's hard to argue that the highlight of the Kama Sutra isn't the section titled "On Sexual Union." While early versions of the Kama Sutra didn't contain illustrations, current readers will be happy to know that several editions of the Kama Sutra come complete with diagrams, pictures and other illustrative aids.
Ultimately, the Kama Sutra is a complete guide to human sexuality, including both hetero- and homosexuality. Most of these descriptions and acts were written to be performed by a man and a woman, although this by no means indicates that the methods of the Kama Sutra are limited to heterosexual couples. However, for the purpose of explaining these procedures with clarity, most of these tips and techniques will still be described as being between a man and a woman.
The creator of the Kama Sutra understood that displaying affection, being intimate and having sex is an art form. Through these physical expressions of love, humans become more virtuous in their physical and emotional interactions, which allows them to give and receive more love from the world.

Stockton toddlers make breakfast for mums and dads on Valentine's Day
Updated 9:32am Friday 15th February 2013 in News By Chris Webber, Reporter (Stockton/Hartlepool)
CHILDREN at a North-East day nursery treated their parents to a Valentine's Day breakfast.
Youngsters at Little Ladybirds Day Nursery, on the Preston Farm Industrial Estate, near Stockton, marked February 14 by serving their parents with croissants, strawberries, blueberries, orange juice and coffee.
Parent Mark McNeill enjoyed a sit-down breakfast with his four-year-old daughter Jessica.
He said: "It was a nice thing to come into on the morning and it was great eating croissants with Jessica."
Jessica, who was on her second croissant by the time her father left, said: "I enjoyed eating croissants with my daddy; I had lots of jam on mine."

Jeff Tuel has thrown just two passes for the Washington State football team this year due to an injury during the Cougars' first game of the season. Tuel's broken clavicle has apparently healed, however, as head coach Paul Wulff announced his quarterback has been cleared to play in the team's upcoming game against Stanford.
According to the release from the school, though, it's unclear what exactly Tuel will be expected to do against the Cardinal until Saturday afternoon.
Tuel met with Cougar team physicians Wednesday morning and after the examination was cleared to play with no restrictions. Wulff noted that Tuel's role in Saturday's Homecoming Game against Stanford will be a gametime decision.
In Tuel's absence, senior Marshall Lobbestael has been leaned on as the team's starting quarterback. Lobbestael has completed 118 of his 182 passes for 1,570 yards and 15 touchdowns compared to just four interceptions on the season.

Creation of the WorldIn Norse mythology there are 9 worlds that are divided among three levels:
Upper level
- Asgard (Aesir, the land of the gods),
- Alfheim (elves),
- Vanaheim (Vanir),
Middle Level
- Midgard (men),
- Jotunheim (giants),
- Svartalfaheim (dark-elves),
- Nithavellir (dwarves),
Lower Level
- Muspelheim (fire, a bright, flaming, hot world in the southern region), and
- Niflheim (the dead, the lowest level)
all held together by the world tree, Ygdrasil. But the nine worlds and Ygdrasil were not there in the beginning.
World of Fire and Ice
Originally there was a chasm, Ginnungagap, bounded on either side by fire (from the world known as Muspelheim) and ice (from the world known as Niflheim). When fire and ice met, they combined to form a giant, named Ymir, and a cow, named Audhumbla (Auðhumla), who nourished Ymir. She survived by licking the salty ice blocks. From her licking emerged Bur (Búri), the grandfather of the Aesir. Ymir, father of the frost giants, employed equally unusual procreative techniques. He sweated a male and a female from under his left arm.
Odin Kills Ymir
Odin, the son of Bur's son Borr, killed Ymir. The blood pouring out of the giant's body killed all the frost giants Ymir had created, except Bergelmir. From Ymir's dead body, Odin created the world. Ymir's blood was the sea; his flesh, the earth; his skull, the sky; his bones, the mountains; his hair, the trees. The new Ymir-based world was Midgard. Ymir's eyebrow was used to fence in the area where mankind would live. Around Midgard was an ocean where a serpent named Jormungand lived. He was big enough to form a ring around Midgard by putting his tail in his mouth.
From Ymir's body grew an ash tree named Yggdrasil
whose branches covered the known world and supported the universe. Ygdrasil had three roots going to each of the 3 levels of the world. Three springs supplied it with water. One root went into Asgard, the home of the gods, another went into the land of the giants, Jotunheim, and a third went to that primeval world of ice, darkness, and the dead, known as Niflheim. In Jotunheim's spring, Mimir, lay wisdom. In Niflheim, the spring nourished the adder Nidhogge (darkness) who gnawed at the roots of Ygdrasil.
The Three Norns
The spring by the Asgard root was cared for by the 3 Norns, goddesses of fate:
- Urdur (the past)
- Verdandi (the present), and
- Skuld (the future).

The famed Tren a Las Nubes, or Train to the Clouds in Argentina is a 434 km long train line running f...
Argentina didn't get to be the second-largest country in South America overnight. Archaeological remains found here date to some 9,000 years BC, left by the ancient Mesoamerican civilization. Early inhabitants were nomads and hunters who followed prehistoric horses and llamas. By the year 1480 AD the Incan empire had stretched to reach northern Argentina and the stage was set for contact.
The Europeans came in 1516 with Spanish explorer Juan Diaz do Solis, who claimed the area for Spain and tried to export a river of silver back to Europe. Wealth grew along with the cattle industry and after Napoleon conquered Spain, Argentina declared its independence and set up their own government. That was 1810 AD.
Argentina stayed neutral in WWI and for most of WWII, declaring war on the Axis powers only in 1945. Following the war, the country entered into a long chain of military dictatorships with only brief forays into constitutional government. The current president is Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who's been in office since December 2007.
Argentina is known for many things but the top of the list belongs to only two -- steak and the tango. Cattle graze on the abundant grasslands and produce some of the best beef in the world. The climate is well-suited for vineyards as well, and Argentina's wines make a fine companion to their steak.
As for the tango, it has recently exploded to become a world famous dance with hotspots in every major city on the planet. It started in Buenos Aires in the middle of the nineteenth century, as the city was filling up with a mixture of European immigrants and porteños, people who were born in the port city. They melded their cultures of rhythm and harmony and came up with the tango, which has been described as the ultimate evolution of partnered dancing. And it's a great way to burn off your steak stupor. Food coma begone!

Logansport High School will be letting out early Friday due to a water main break, according to DeSoto Parish Superintendent Dr. Cade Brumley.
Dr. Brumley says the utility company hit a main water line in Logansport, and there is a 2-hour minimum to fix the line.
As a result, the school will be serving lunch and dismissing at 12:15 PM, because "Hygiene is too important!" according to a message on the district's web site.
Logansport High School is the only school impacted by the water main break.

There have been those to suggest the Philadelphia Union's addition of Freddy Adu is essentially a swap for Carlos Ruiz. While the timing of the two moves makes such a statement tempting, the reality is that the two players fill significantly different roles.
Ruiz was very much a forward, and one who was particularly focused on putting the ball in the back of the net. Adu is is a player whose best attributes are his ability to break down a defense and set up teammates.
The Brotherly Game, SB Nation's Union blog, recognizes this and outlines the various ways that Peter Nowak may choose to deploy his newest weapon:
The first of these options would, essentially, be a continuation of how the Union have played up to now: two strikers up top, two central midfielders, and two wingers. Adu would be the more advanced central midfielder, and he would be backed up by the more defensive Brian Carroll. Nowak would be left with several options at striker; Jack McInerney, Veljko Panouvic, Sebastien Le Toux, or Danny Mwanga could start as forwards, while Justin Mapp and Keon Daniel could take up the wing positions. Le Toux could drop back to winger as well, sending Daniel to the bench.
The other possible way that Adu could be used is as what could theoretically be used would be as more of a withdrawn forward in a formation that would play very much like a 4-5-1. The biggest downside to this formation would be forcing Sebastian Le Toux back into the midfield, where he's be significantly less effective.

Gold Prices Plummet as Fund Managers Duck Out
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Gold prices fell Friday for the fourth day in the trading week after prominent hedge fund managers revealed their reduced holdings in the yellow metal.
Gold for April delivery sank $26 to settle at $1,609.50 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The gold price traded as high as $1,636 and as low as $1,596.70, while the spot price was plunging $28.20, according to Kitco's gold index.
Gold prices during Friday's session were touching their lowest levels since a close at $1,590.70 an ounce on Aug. 2, when the precious metal continued to flounder from a lack of central bank action on monetary easing.
"It's [gold] following the pattern of the week and the past couple of weeks, quite frankly, where it's breaking down and being pushed lower, and that's in part as a response to the relatively strong earnings that you're seeing both in the United States as well as Europe," Oliver Pursche, co-portfolio manager at GMG Defensive Beta Fund, said in an interview.George Soros pared his holdings in Gold ETF SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) in the fourth quarter to 600,000 shares, from a previous 1.32 million shares, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Prices struggled in the fourth quarter to sustain a boost past $1,750 an ounce after the Federal Reserve announced in early September its unprecedented open-ended mortgage-backed securities purchasing plan. Julian Robertson of Tiger Management eliminated his position in Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX), but held his shares of Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ). John Paulson of Paulson & Co. maintained his position in the commodity. Silver prices for March delivery dipped 50 cents to close at $29.85 an ounce, while the U.S. dollar index was increasing 0.1% to $80.47. Adding a weight on the gold market were better-than-expected reports on consumer sentiment and New York manufacturing. The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index printed at 76.3 for February, which was better than analysts' consensus of 73.5. The New York Empire State manufacturing survey came in at 10 for February, which was higher than the forecast for a flat read on the month. Gold prices often move contrary to economic data, and the positive reports diminish the appeal of gold as a hedge against economic uncertainty. Offsetting the positive data was a Federal Reserve survey that showed industrial production fell 0.1% in January. Economists expected a 0.2% increase. One analyst argued that Friday's economic reports weren't enough to significantly boost or slam markets.

We booked the Spain/Canary Island cruise last September thinking that the Canary Islands would be warm this time of year, however the weather was pretty disappointing but that's ok, we're from the North East and we're a hardy crop up here!!
The cost of the excursions through RCI are usually on the expensive side so we normally jump on the City Tour buses and get an overview of the place because sometimes you only have 4 hours in a Port of Call. We were advised by RCI to purchase shuttle bus tickets at $15 each to get to the centre of Lisbon. We stepped off the ship and there were the City Tour buses right in front of the ship. Moral of the story; go up on deck to see what's out there ... $30 for absolutely nothing.
We visited Vigo, Lisbon, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Madeira and Ferrol. We don't understand why RCI chose Ferrol as a port of call because it's basically an old Spanish naval town with nothing but tatty shops and a museum. It's a sign of the times, I know, but most of the shops had closed down. There were, however a proliferation of cafes and restaurants but when you've got a 5 star facility sitting at the dock why would you waste your time? Someone said that they chose Ferrol because it was cheaper to refuel there but I guess we'll never know.
