Sea; by Mark Laita; Abrams; $50; (ISBN: 978-1-4197-0087-3)
Sea offers a collection of 85 stunning images of strange and beautiful aquatic creatures. Created by award-winning photographer Mark Laita, each shot was captured in front of a stark black background that allows the vibrant colors and shapes of the animals to hold the viewer's undivided attention. Rainbow-colored tropical fish, graceful jellyfish, lithe eels, mysterious sharks, and comical sea turtles grace each page, making this a must-have addition to your personal library.
Historia, Memoria y Silencios; by Lorena Guillén Vaschetti; Schilt Publishing; $45; (ISBN: 978-9-0533-0761-8)
This book is Argentinian artist Lorena Guillén Vaschetti's highly personal monograph of her family. An artistic interpretation of a box of old family snapshots that her mother had decided to throw away, the images revealed a past Vaschetti knew little or nothing about. In English, the title of the book is History, Memory and Silences, a more than fitting description for this haunting and lovingly created collection of 43 full-color images.

As if the whole Octomom debacle from last year couldn't get weirder, TMZ has obtained photos of Nadya Suleman whipping and coddling a grown man wearing a baby costume.
The guy pictured is Tattoo, an L.A. radio personality. Supposedly, there's some kind of video footage due out tomorrow.
My gag reflex can't take this any longer, so if you'd like to see more, check out the full gallery at TMZ.

post-apocalyptic Survival Horror manga. The story begins when the main character, Kasumi, and 159 other people are chosen to go into cold sleep until a cure is found for their mysterious disease, the Medusa virus. The Medusa virus is a disease which, six weeks after infection, causes the victim to have seizures; within five hours, all of the victim's cells have solidified into a clay-like substance.When some of the sleepers wake up, the world has drastically changed; there is a veritable jungle running around and through the facility. Massive monsters roam through the facility, and there are no signs of any other human beings.A movie adaptation was released in May 2010, whose trailer you can view here. The movie deviated heavily from the canon, watering down many of the characters' back-stories and omitting the Big Bad from the manga. It was, however, nominated for the 4th Asia Pacific Screen Award for Best Animated Feature Film.King of Thorn is a short,

About Me
h children. They ask us where we were on hispeedtube gossip, etc. The complete spa, and I did not know until later that a hispeedtube young British (20s ), Robert feels called on the other hand, Nina was playing to his quiet, sought expert and always very excited. Nina did not say a word to me in the spa ( which is consistent with his shy personality ) has revealed anything about the water and at that time I was distracted by three other British people ask me all sorts of silly questions about Australia. We sat there for about 15 minutes and given the llegroom and acknowledgment of the action (incorrectly assumed), I suggested to Nina to leave the spa, and we did. went up, as curious to see what the action took place and found all the rooms were empty and a little sloppy. As my wife told me what happened above the spa and I asked him if he 'd like things to go further, she said yes, and with Robert, because he had given a good fingering. We walked down the stairs, and I found Robert to change in the men's room when Nina 's interest to go further, and some basic rules, such as the use of condoms, said she could not undress quickly enough. We are in a private back room, where my wife went to Robert at first and then put back on the bench. Robert got up and began to hispeedtube pump gently but firmly. I was h
|appy, especially my wife for a time was, my heart was pounding as you can imagine, swinging was my first experience. Finally, my wife grabbed my cock, I took clowater and began to masturbate. Nina then turned his head and started sucking me while she was hunchbacked character of Robert. She was my wife of 4 years (partner of 9 years) who have sex with another man for the first time was surreal to say the least. After a while Nina let out a guttural sound orgasm, a minute later, hispeedtube Robert and Nina was on all fours, I was behind Nina and pumped hard and slow as hispeedtube you like. hispeedtube Nina played by Robert Hahn, but came back to life. I came in about 3 minutes, cleaned, gave thanks to Robert and he disappeared. was pretty late and we were worried about how to back to our hotel in this strange city, so he left the club. We found the subway station was closed and boarded a bus, free through Piccadilly Circus, who admired the girls in short dresses and short ear to ear, a smile that vibrate after 5 years of reading the sky in Oz finally our first adventure rolling. It hispeedtube was the firstof the many experiences that began in a small light in London, hispeedtube became more interesting in the British Midlands, southern Germany, Cap d ' Agde and finally ended with a bang in Paris.

Years before she was an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Ming-Na Wen voiced the title role in the 1998 Disney hit Mulan. Now she's bringing back the beloved character in Disney Channel's Sofia the First and TV Guide Magazine has the exclusive first look. The episode, airing Aug. 15, finds the feisty Chinese heroine giving strategic advice to little Sofia whose stepdad, the king, is trapped in a jaguar's den. We spoke with Wen about how it feels to be a part of Disney Princess history — even though the Mouse House had to fudge a bit!

It's only a matter of time before Agent Coulson can no longer continue being the consummate company man.
When Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns for a seven-episode uninterrupted run on Tuesday (8/7c, ABC), the super series will explore just how far Coulson (Clark Gregg) can be pushed before he realizes that the company that he lives to serve has been hiding one too many secrets from him. The first crack in his façade began soon after his return to the field, when he realized there was something a little bit off after Loki brutally stabbed him through the heart in The Avengers. Of course, discovering that his resurrection was thanks to a mysterious blue alien didn't help either. But if the truth ever got out — as viewers learned in the most recent episode — that Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) was possibly working against him, it would mark the tipping point for Coulson.

Stop the Presses
Have you ever wanted to send e-mail to a Linux developer, but not known what e-mail address to send your mail to? Mike McLagan, with help from Liem Bahneman, has created a new Internet domain called linux.org. If you want to send e-mail to Alan Cox (who is in charge of Linux networking development), but can't remember his e-mail address, you can send it to firstname.lastname@example.com and it will be correctly forwarded to him. You can send mail for me to email@example.com, and for Linus himself to email@example.com. firstname.lastname@example.com is the maintainer of Slackware, and email@example.com maintains this service. If you need to find out what aliases exist, you can get a list of the aliases from ftp.linux.org in the file /pub/info/alias-list. Linux developers only may request an alias from firstname.lastname@example.com.
World Wide Web (WWW or W3), a distributed hypertext application which organizes information across the entire Internet, (see the article by Bernie Thompson on page 9 for an introduction to WWW which explains of all the terms in this paragraph) includes quite a bit of information about Linux. linux.org provides a set of Linux documents all together in one place. The URL is www.linux.org. [The site can now be found at www.linuxresources.com] I was very suprised as I browsed the WWW pages on www.linux.org to find connections to a HTML version of my own book, the Linux Kernel Hackers' Guide, available. There is a lot out there, and it is worth exploring if you have a connection to the Internet.
Another service that linux.org will provide is ftp service from ftp.linux.org. As I write this, the ftp directory on ftp.linux.org is mostly empty, but Mike is asking for help from Linux developers to change this. Mike is considering several other services, which will be announced in forthcoming issues of Linux Journal, and is taking suggestions at firstname.lastname@example.com.
When Linux first came out, Linus said that Linux would be very difficult to port to other architectures. Everyone paid attention when he said this, but no one appeared to notice when he later said that Linux had become much more portable; as portable as most versions or clones of Unix.
For over a year and a half, work has been under way on a port of Linux to the Motorola 680x0, specifically the Amiga. Work went in fits and starts until Hamish MacDonald announced his first port, but since then progress has been rapid. It is now starting to work well, at least for hackers, and supports many common devices. The X Window System has not yet been ported, but Linux/68 compiles itself, has shared libraries, and runs emacs. Join the 680X0 channel of the mailing list if the Linux/68 port interests you. Send an empty mail message to email@example.com for instructions on how to do this.
In the last few weeks, a version for the Atari TT and Falcon has been begun, and now is booting itself. Soon all of these 680x0 platforms should be supported by a single kernel, or at least be built from the same source. Linux/68 has most of the features of Linux/i86 (standard Linux), and is still under development. It requires a 68020 with a seperate MMU or a 68030 or 68040. 68000 and 68010 are not and will not be supported.
Recently, Jim Paradis of DEC announced that he has started work on a port of Linux to the DEC ALPHA chip, and two college students have announced that they have begun work on a port to the PowerMac. DEC has offered to loan Linus an ALPHA to work on an ALPHA port, and IBM has offered to loan Linus a PowerPC to work on a PowerPC port. There is a lot of interest in ports of Linux to new architectures; not only on the part of hackers and even general consumers, but now also by some of the largest companies in the industry.
The Linux groups (especially comp.os.linux.misc) have been aflame in the last few weeks with rumors about Novell developing a complete Unix-like environment based on the Linux kernel. These reports, mostly fueled by reports in PC Week, have not been confirmed, but they do demonstrate that interest in Linux is spreading in the "conventional" market and that the "major players" the the computer industry have taken notice.
Even if the rumors are not true (although they sound convincing), the fact that PC Week named Linux its "Product of the Week" is major recognition, since PC Week is heavily oriented towards DOS and Windows, and has historically shown little interest in Unix or unix-like systems.
What can you do to encourage this recognition? I suggest that whenever you order hardware for your Linux box, that no matter who the vendor is, you explain that you will use the hardware with Linux, and ask if the hardware is supported under Linux. Be willing to explain what Linux is if they don't know. Several times, I have had an experience something like this: "Does that work with Linux?" "What's Linux?" "A free Unix-like operating system." "Free?" "Yes, free." "How can I get a copy?"...
If you are interested in commercial software applications being made available for Linux, call the company and ask if a Linux version is available. If enough people ask, the company will get the message—software companies do not make a living by ignoring large groups of potential customers. On the other hand, remember that they do not make a profit by making a port that only one person will buy.
Michael K. Johnson is a linux activist, programmer, minor systems administrator, and author who lives with his wife in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Michael is the new editor of Linux Journal.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

As we are all quite aware, zombie games are a rare breed in modern times. Even rarer than a zombie game is a truly great zombie game. In that latter category we've recently had Day Z, The Walking Dead – the good adventure one, not the shitty action one, Project Zomboid and a newcomer in State of Decay. Does that give away my impressions? Possibly so, but it's not all freshly reincarnated roses.
But how could it be? This is, after all, an early access. We can't expect everything to be shambling along as expected. Although I would have hoped, even at this early stage, that some of the expected things would have risen up to take a munch out of the brains of PC gaming. The two main things I'm a bit sad to have missing are quite key and will most likely get sorted pretty quickly. The first is the most essential, keyboard and mouse support. I'm fine using my wired Xbox 360 controller. I've used it for countless games in the past, usually when I've had no choice because they were actually on the Xbox 360 or were more suited to it, Super Meat Boy is a good example.
Of course the guys (and gals) at Undead Labs are working on this, which is a good thing, I'm just a little surprised it wasn't the first thing to sort out when porting over to the PC. Although much can be said as the same for graphical choices. When entering the options you're fixed to two aspect ratios, 4:3 and 16:9 with limited options therein. I ended up having to settle on 16:9-720p because any higher would put part of the diary, menus and subtitles off of the screen.
For all sense and purpose this is still a work in progress. This will account for those two omissions, as well as some of the bugs and other minor irritations I found going through. The major one being that my Y key for general selecting would stop working and require a restart of the game. No idea if this was a problem on the 360 version or not, but it is here and can be attributed to it being early days on a new version.
What can't be attributed to this is the godawful pathfinding when it gets to the fairground home. It's strange that none of the others had this problem, but when sending out runners for supplies they would be fine until they got back, then they'd run into anything outside the gate entrance of the fairground, taking absolutely ages to get back in. I had one guy who'd been out to grab some food, he spent about thirty-forty seconds sticking to the wall, popping back about five meters instantly and repeating until the game decided it was time to simply teleport him past the wall. This happened nearly every time.
Sure, these minor things put a slight damper on events, but for the whole this is an great and thrilling experience. The use of a world that carries on, to an extent, even when you're not there is a great choice. It means that you have added incentive to take a day or two off (as if you'll stop playing!) only after making sure your base is in good condition and stocked up well.
This permanence also contributes to the thrill of State of Decay as it also applies to death. If you die, that's it. It also means that you have to have a host of people to choose from, because death is inevitable. What also lends to the feeling is the fact that the people you can control, they are you and me. Just average people with little to no military training, with exceptions of course. As soon as you forget that the zombies will be ready to pounce.
Not only that, you will eventually be required to move your home base because supplies are finite. The starting small town is sufficient for a while but you will have quickly plundered it. This also has to come into consideration when picking a new home to occupy. Will you take something nice and safe like a farmhouse, but is quite far away from other areas that may contain vital supplies, or do you move into a big truck depot on the edge of a big city, risking more attacks but being closer to the supplies that may be essential later on.
The only major problem with the permanence working on everything is that, due to the limited size of the valley you inhabit, it runs out quicker than it feels it should. My feelings on state of decay can be summarised simply by repeating what I said to a friend:
"SoD would probably be my favorite game ever if it was 5x bigger, with a few more interesting home sites and either more NPCs or it being multiplayer"
Very few games really grasp the tension that should be the highlight of any zombie apocalypse. In this, life is fleeting and a constant struggle. This is something State of Decay captures better than most to have come before it, the only one I can think of better is Project Zomboid, and something that can be applauded no matter the circumstances.
Even with the irritations mentioned earlier, this is excellent and offers a decent length off time in a strong setting. 27 hours was the length of my first playthrough. By no means was I rushing, but at the same time I wasn't lagging behind and ignoring the main missions. I would imagine it can be done in as quick as 8-12 hours playing through the story, but the real fun comes in building up your band of survivors and if you felt like it, you could probably get a good 40 hours exploring all of the map and doing everything.
Eventually, your enjoyment will come down to how much you like to faff about with no real goal. I love to, so I enjoy State of Decay quite a lot already. It has a large room for improvements and the world could do with being a bit more interesting, but it's still worth the entrance fee.

As a Woman Grows Older
She is visiting her daughter in Nice, her first visit there in years. Her son will fly out from the United States to spend a few days with them, on the way to some conference or other. It interests her, this confluence of dates. She wonders whether there has not been some collusion, whether the two of them do not have some plan, some proposal to put to her of the kind that children put to a parent when they feel she can no longer look after herself. So obstinate, they will have said to each other: so obstinate, so stubborn, so self-willed—how will we get past that obstinacy of hers except by working together?
They love her, of course, else they would not be cooking up plans for her. Nevertheless, she does feel like one of those Roman aristocrats waiting to be handed the fatal draft, waiting to be told in the most confiding, the most sympathetic of ways that for the general good one should drink it down without a fuss.
Her children are and always have been good, dutiful, as children go. Whether as a mother she has been equally good and dutiful is another matter. But in this life we do not always get what we deserve. Her children will have to wait for another life, another incarnation, if they want the score to be evened.
Her daughter runs an art gallery in Nice. Her daughter is, by now, for all practical purposes French. Her son, with his American wife and American children, will soon, for all practical purposes, be American. So, having flown the nest, they have flown far. One might even think, did one not know better, that they have flown far to get away from her.
Whatever proposal it is they have to put to her, it is sure to be full of ambivalence: love and solicitude on the one hand, brisk heartlessness on the other, and a wish to see the end of her. Well, ambivalence should not disconcert her. She has made a living out of ambivalence. Where would the art of fiction be if there were no double meanings? What would life itself be if there were only heads or tails and nothing in between?
"What I find eerie, as I grow older," she tells her son, "is that I hear issuing from my lips words I once upon a time used to hear old people say and swore I would never say myself. What-is-the-world-coming-to things. For example: no one seems any longer to be aware that the verb 'may' has a past tense—what is the world coming to? People walk down the street eating pizza and talking into a telephone—what is the world coming to?"
It is his first day in Nice, her third: a clear, warm June day, the kind of day that brought idle, well-to-do people from England to this stretch of coast in the first place. And behold, here they are, the two of them, strolling down the Promenade des Anglais just as the English did a hundred years ago with their parasols and their boaters, deploring Mr. Hardy's latest effort, deploring the Boers.
"Deplore," she says: "a word one does not hear much nowadays. No one with any sense deplores, not unless they want to be a figure of fun. An interdicted word, an interdicted activity. So what is one to do? Does one keep them all pent up, one's deplorations, until one is alone with other old folk and free to spill them?"
"You can deplore to me as much as you like, Mother," says John, her good and dutiful son. "I will nod sympathetically and not make fun of you. What else would you like to deplore today besides pizza?"
"It is not pizza that I deplore, pizza is well and good in its place, it is walking and eating and talking all at the same time that I find so rude."
"I agree, it is rude or at least unrefined. What else?"
"That's enough. What I deplore is in itself of no interest. What is of interest is that I vowed years ago I would never do it, and here I am doing it. Why have I succumbed? I deplore what the world is coming to. I deplore the course of history. From my heart I deplore it. Yet when I listen to myself, what do I hear? I hear my mother deploring the miniskirt, deploring the electric guitar. And I remember my exasperation. 'Yes, Mother,' I would say, and grind my teeth and pray for her to shut up. And so…"
"And so you think I am grinding my teeth and praying for you to shut up."
"I am not. It is perfectly acceptable to deplore what the world is coming to. I deplore it myself, in private."
"But the detail, John, the detail! It is not just the grand sweep of history that I deplore, it is the detail—bad manners, bad grammar, loudness! It is details like that that exasperate me, and it is the kind of detail that exasperates me that drives me to despair. So unimportant! Do you understand? But of course you do not. You think I am making fun of myself when I am not making fun of myself. It is all serious! Do you understand that it could all be serious?"
"Of course I understand. You express yourself with great clarity."
"But I do not! I do not! These are just words, and we are all sick of words by now. The only way left to prove you are serious is to do away with yourself. Fall on your sword. Blow your brains out. Yet as soon as I say the words you want to smile. I know. Because I am not serious, not fully serious—I am too old to be serious. Kill yourself at twenty and it is a tragic loss. Kill yourself at forty and it is a sobering comment on the times. But kill yourself at seventy and people say, 'What a shame, she must have had cancer.'"
"But you have never cared what people say."
"I have never cared what people say because I have always believed in the word of the future. History will vindicate me—that is what I have told myself. But I am losing faith in history, as history has become today—losing faith in its power to come up with the truth."
"And what has history become today, Mother? And, while we are about it, may I remark that you have once again maneuvered me into the position of the straight man or straight boy, a position I do not particularly enjoy."
"I am sorry, I am sorry. It is from living alone. Most of the time I have to conduct these conversations in my head; it is such a relief to have persons I can play them out with."
"Interlocutors. Not persons. Interlocutors."
"Interlocutors I can play them out with."
"Play them out on."
"Interlocutors I can play them out on. I am sorry, I will stop. How is Norma?"
"Norma is well. She sends her love. The children are well. What has history become?"
"History has lost her voice. Clio, the one who once upon a time used to strike her lyre and sing of the doings of great men, has become infirm, infirm and frivolous, like the silliest sort of old woman. At least that is what I think part of the time. The rest of the time I think she has been taken prisoner by a gang of thugs who torture her and make her say things she does not mean to say. I can't tell you all the dark thoughts I have about history. It has become an obsession."
"An obsession. Does that mean you are writing about it?"
"No, not writing. If I could write about history I would be on my way to mastering it. No, all I can do is fume about it, fume and deplore. And deplore myself too. I have become trapped in a cliché, and I no longer believe that history will be able to budge that cliché."
"What cliché?"
"I do not want to go into it, it is too depressing. The cliché of the stuck record, that has no meaning anymore because there are no gramophone needles or gramophones. The word that echoes back to me from all quarters is 'bleak.' Her message to the world is unremittingly bleak. What does it mean, bleak? A word that belongs to a winter landscape yet has somehow become attached to me. It is like a little mongrel that trails behind, yapping, and won't be shaken off. I am dogged by it. It will follow me to the grave. It will stand at the lip of the grave, peering in and yapping bleak, bleak, bleak!"
"If you are not the bleak one, then who are you, Mother?"
"You know who I am, John."
"Of course I know. Nevertheless, say it. Say the words."
"I am the one who used to laugh and no longer does. I am the one who cries."
Her daughter Helen runs an art gallery in the old city. The gallery is, by all accounts, highly successful. Helen does not own it. She is employed by two Swiss who descend from their lair in Bern twice a year to check the accounts and pocket the takings.
Helen, or Hélène, is younger than John but looks older. Even as a student she had a middle-aged air, with her pencil skirts and owlish glasses and chignon. A type that the French make space for and even respect: the severe, celibate intellectual. Whereas in England Helen would be cast at once as a librarian and a figure of fun.
In fact she has no grounds for thinking Helen celibate. Helen does not speak about her private life, but from John she hears of an affair that has been going on for years with a businessman from Lyon who takes her away for weekends. Who knows, perhaps on her weekends away she blossoms.
It is not particularly seemly to speculate on the sex lives of one's children. Nevertheless she cannot believe that someone who devotes her life to art, be it only the sale of paintings, can be without fire of her own.
What she had expected was a combined assault: Helen and John sitting her down and putting to her the scheme they had worked out for her salvation. But no, their first evening together passes perfectly pleasantly. The subject is only broached the next day, in Helen's car, as the two of them drive north into the Basses-Alpes en route to a luncheon spot Helen has chosen, leaving John behind to work on his paper for the conference.

The author possessed a more accurate knowledge of Neo-Babylonia and early Achaemenid Persian history than any other known historian since the sixth century B.C. Even Pfeiffer, who was one of the more radical critics of Daniel, was compelled to concede that it will presumably never be known how the author learned that the new Babylon was the creation of Nebuchadnezzar, as the excavations have proved, and that Belshazzar, mentioned only in Babylonian records, in Daniel, and in Baruch (1:1), which is based on Daniel, was functioning as king when Cyrus took Babylon in 539 B.C.11
1 "Herodotus composed his History of the Persian Wars at Athens ca. 445 B.C."—Edwin M. Yamauchi, "Herodotus (Person)," in David Noel Freedman, ed., The Anchor Bible Dictionary (New York, NY: Doubleday, 1996, c1992), 3:180.
2 "Berosus gives the Chaldean account, which suppresses all about Belshazzar, as being to the national dishonor. Had Daniel been a late book, he would no doubt have taken up the later account of Berosus."—A. R. Fausset, "The Book of Daniel," in Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset, and David Brown, A Commentary, Critical and Explanatory, on the Old and New Testaments (Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 1997, 1877), s.v. "Introduction."
3 Gleason Leonard Archer, "Daniel," in Frank E. Gaebelein, ed., The Expositor's Bible Commentary, Vol. 7 - Daniel and the Minor Prophets (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1985), 16.
4 "The author also knew that Babylon had been rebuilt by Nebuchadnezzar (Dan. 4:30+), another fact that was unknown to later historians until the excavations of more recent times."—Peter Masters, "A Tour of Biblical Evidence in the British Museum," in Bible and Spade, vol. 13 no. 2 (Landisville, PA: Associates for Biblical Research, Spring 2000), 54.
5 "Kitchen notes that in four of the nineteen words in question, the old Greek renderings made about 100 B.C. are hopelessly mere guesswork. He reasons: 'If the first important Greek translation of Daniel was made sometime within 100 B.C. to A.D. 100, roughly speaking, and the translator could not (or took no trouble to) reproduce the proper meaning of these terms, then one conclusion imposes itself: their meaning was already lost and forgotten (or, at least, drastically changed) long before he set to work. Now if Daniel were wholly a product of 165 B.C., then just a century or so in a continuous tradition is surely embarrassingly inadequate as a sufficient interval for that loss (or change) of meaning to occur by Near Eastern standards.' [Kenneth A. Kitchen, et al., 'The Aramaic of Daniel,' Notes on Some Problems in the Book of Daniel (London: Tyndale Press, 1965), p. 43.]"—Bruce K. Waltke, "The Date of the Book of Daniel," in Bibliotheca Sacra, vol. 133 no. 532 (Dallas, TX: Dallas Theological Seminary, October-December 1976), 324.
6 "Quite evidently the writer knew enough about the customs of the sixth century B.C. to depict Nebuchadnezzar as able to enact and modify Babylonian laws with absolute sovereignty (Dan. 2:12+f, 46), while representing Darius the Mede as being completely powerless to change the laws of the Medes and Persians (Dan. 6:8+f.; cf. Est. 1:9; 8:8). Again, he was quite accurate in recording the change from punishment by fire under the Babylonians (Dan. 3:11+) to punishment by being thrown to lions under the Persian regime (Dan. 6:7+), since fire was sacred to the Zoroastrians of Persia."—Roland K. Harrison, Introduction to the Old Testament (Peabody, MA: Prince Press, 1969, 1999), 1120-1121.
7 "The author shows remarkable knowledge of Babylonian and early Persian history, such as would be true of a contemporary like Daniel. In the fourth chapter, Nebuchadnezzar is presented correctly as the creator of the Neo-Babylonian empire. In the fifth chapter, Belshazzar is set for as co-ruler of Babylon, a fact recently demonstrated by archaeological research. In the sixth chapter, Darius is presented as ruler of Babylon, even though Cyrus was the supreme ruler of Persia; Cyrus is now know to have appointed one Gubaru in this capacity, with whom Darius may well be identified. In the second chapter (cf. Dan. 2:12+, 13+, 46+) Nebuchadnezzar is shown to have been able to change Babylonian laws which he had previously made (such a change is now known to have been possible in Babylonia); whereas in the sixth chapter (cf. Dan. 6:8+, 9+, 12+, 15+) Darius is presented as not being able to do this (such a change is now known to have been impossible in Persia)."—Leon J. Wood, A Commentary on Daniel (Eugene, OR: Wipf and Stock Publishers, 1998), 20.
8 Gleason Leonard Archer, A Survey of Old Testament Introduction (Chicago, IL: Moody Press, 1998, c1994), 445.
9 "While the Greek historians Herodotus (1:191) and Xenophon (Cyropaedia, 3:5, 15) do not mention Belshazzar, they share with Dan. 6+ the—hardly historical—tradition that the Babylonians were engaged in revelry at the time when the Persians entered the city (corresponding to the time when Belshazzar was killed in the biblical account)."—Geoffrey Wigoder, ed., Encyclopedia Judaica CDROM Edition Version 1.0 (Keter Publishing House, Ltd., 1997), s.v. "Belshazzar."
10 "Xenophon added that the city was invaded while the Babylonians were feasting in a time of drunken revelry [Xenophon, Cyropaedia 7.5.15,21,25], and Herodotus also related that a festival was in progress [Herodotus, Histories 1.191]. As a matter of fact, Xenophon cited the festival as the reason the Persians chose to attack Babylon on that particular night."—Stephen R. Miller, "Daniel," in E. Ray Clendenen, Kenneth A. Mathews, and David S. Dockery, eds., The New American Commentary (Nashville, TN: Broadman & Holman, 1994), 167.

A Comfortable and Quirky Home
Designer Erin Martin satisfied her clients' desire for a comfortably edgy French farmhouse in Napa Valley

"I had traveled widely and lived all over the world," says entrepreneur Jim White, a former newspaperman. "But when I landed in Napa in 1980 for an assignment on Robert Mondavi, I felt I was truly at home for the first time in my life."
In the early 1990s, after almost a decade of frequent trips from Canada to California for his packaged-food business, Jim started bringing his wife, Carol, a cookbook writer and a former food editor at Canadian Living, down to Napa to look for a second home. Five years and several hundred disappointing properties later, the couple stumbled on a 4,200-square-foot French colonial-style house built in the early 1980s by noted landscape architect Jack Chandler.

text: 5 I would give it 10 stars if it was possible!!monkeyboy27 | 20/05/2010 | See all monkeyboy27's reviews (18)I have been a huge Muse fan for years now, since they began with Showbiz. After listening to Showbiz, I was rather worried that they wouldn't be able to follow it up with anything even close to it... how wrong was I. Even with such brilliant albums like Resistance now out, this album is by far the best Muse album they will ever record. It has everything. This album is a must own CD for anyone who likes music! Opening with New Born, slowly reeling you in, holding out for as long as they can before exploding in your ears when they rock on, accompanied with an mind blowing solo, slowly followed by Bliss which is just, again, truly brilliant. You can't help yourself from singing along to Matt's words, even though you can't reach the high notes! Can be embarrassing.. from this, the album maintains an exceptionally high standard with the ever so popular Plug In Baby (which is about his guitar!!) and Feeling Good. My personal favourite is Micro-Cuts where Matt maintains a A-minor throughout... don't try it, I almost lost my voice.. culminating in a fantastic end to the track.. I could go on all night reviewing this album, even now, I still haven't purchased a more satisfying album... if you don't have it BUY IT NOW!!!

Practice maneuvering through tight spots in our online parking games! You will get a chance to be a valet, squeeze through tight traffic jams, and pass your drivers test. Sometimes you will not just be driving the basic compact car either!
You will really have your skills tested as you try to drive and park in 18 wheeler parking games, getaway cars and the occasional extra long extended bus! Parking is always tough to do when in a tight parking space, but imagine having to do that all the time! You will have to face some of the craziest, most crowded parking decks ever! It will be your choice of whether to be careful and take your time, or just plow through the parking lot hitting as many cars as possible on the way to your space!
Parking cars can be stressful, but imagine if you had a high end sports car, or even worse, a stolen sports car! In our parking games, you will have a chance to do both! Work as a valet at a movie premiere and park Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, Mercedes, and much more! Not only are you in charge of the ride, but if you scratch it, everyone will see! Be careful and make sure not to dent and ding any rides, or you will be fired instantly!
Sometimes you may be driving a car that is not quite legal for you to have! Drop off shipments of cars that you steal from other parking spots and carefully maneuver them to the meeting point! The more you damage the car, the less you will get paid, so make sure you work carefully! Do not take too long though, because the alarms may sound at any minute! You may have a chance to be a getaway driver who must maneuver through crowded traffic jams in an effort to escape the cops! In these cases you will need to drive quickly, but also make sure your car does not get too damaged and fail on you!
Parking is not all about getting safely through a parking lot! In some cases, you will be given some pretty stressful tasks! Deliver passengers on your daily bus route as you drive through the city in bus parking games, park police cars in front of dozens of vigilant officers, plow through zombies on the way to safe houses, or get your troops to safety as you try to find a spot for your army jeep that will not be attacked by missiles!
Try all our parking games and see which type of game you like best! See if you enjoy getting paid as a valet, or if you would prefer the stress of driving through a warzone, or if you would prefer making deliveries through town!

Okay, you'll have to go back a few years…but they helped Herman Hollerith complete the 1890 census in record time — one year (as opposed to the eight years it took to complete the 1880 census).

Knoxville (WVLT) - Drug users have nicknamed it Strawberry Quick, but it's a far cry from the stuff you put in milk when you were kid.It's a drug that looks like rock-candy, but it's really crystal meth.
Police say it's being marketed to your youngsters, and one girl scout leader's doing something about that.
Volunteer TV's Mike McCarthy has more on how a typical Girl Scout troop meeting took a twist tonight.
Cheryl-Ann Paul found out about the new form of crystal meth through an email from a friend in California, and she wanted to give her Brownies and their parents a heads up before it ended up in their hands.
Girl Scout Troop 959's not just pledging their allegiance. They're pledging to be drug free.
"If someone offers you a candy that looks like pop rocks--that you shouldn't," Margaux Army said.
Shouldn't take it, that is, because it's not candy. This is strawberry flavored crystal meth.
"I feel that it had to be addressed now. We can't wait. I don't' even know if it's out there right now, but what if it is? We haven't the time to wait," Paul said.
So Cheryl-Ann Paul told near 20 members of the Brownie troop about the dangers of the addictive-drug tonight.
"Let's get the ball rolling here and give my parent's the one-up," Paul said.
A one-up they needed.
"I'd never heard of it before today, picking her up after Brownies. I'm shocked. I had no idea," Samantha Parker said.
But now the girls have an idea what to say.
"No thank you!"
And if they're forced to take, they know where to take it.
"You should bring it to your teacher, or if you're on your way home, you should bring it to your mom and dad," Army said.
It's all part of "being prepared."
"I'm hoping they'll be able to use their powers of observation so when we say to them later, what did he look like, they can describe them," Paul said.
Parents are glad their girls got the info.
"She's got an older and younger brother and they all need to be aware of it," Parker said.
These girls now are aware of it so they don't blow it.
"If we didn't know about that then we'd think, oh it's just real candy," Army said.
A lesson learned, and lesson to live by.
We called law enforcement throughout East Tennessee, and no one has seen the drugs on the streets here yet. However, Paul says it's a topic she'll revisit over the next few weeks with her Brownies.

Property Name:
Goldsborough House
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
200, High Street, Cambridge, Dorchester County
The Goldsborough House is a c. 1790s 2 1/2-story painted brick Federal-style house with a five-bay symmetrical facade. Front and rear facades have a molded wood cornice. The building is surrounded by a brick watertable, and a corbeled flush chimney rises from either gable end. Windows are 9/6 sash with stone flat arches with keystones, and louvered shutters. The central entrance, facing northwest onto High Street, is sheltered by a one-story, one-bay flat-roofed Ionic columned entrance portico. The entrance has a round fanlight with swag tracery. The only openings in the southwest gable end are two 6/6 sash windows in the attic gable, flanking the chimney. The northeast gable end has identical windows in the gable, but also a 9/6 sash window on each floor of the right bay. The two right bays of the southeast facade are covered by a later-period shorter 2 1/2-story service wing with a massive flush chimney flanked by small 4-light attic windows at its southeast gable end. The remaining bays of the main block consist of similar fenestration to the front, but a two-story porch on the southwest facade of the wing shortens the second-story center window, and a second-story door leads to the main block from the porch. Three gable-roofed 6/6 sash dormer windows project from the southeast slope of the roof. These are not symmetrically placed. The rear wing is four bays in length on the southwest facade, opening onto the two-story porch, but only two bays show on the northeast facade, which is flush with the northeast gable end of the main block, facing an alley. A small one-story frame addition covers the first floor of the southeast gable end of the wing. The interior of the main block consists of a central hall with flanking rooms, architrave moldings, plaster cornice moldings, and a mantel with punch and gouge work in the west room. Victorian ceiling medallions and mantels were inserted into some rooms in the late 19th century. Two 20th century ancillary buildings also stand on the property.
The Goldsborough House is significant for it embodies the distinctive characteristics of the Federal style popular in Maryland in the close of the 18th century, particularly on the Eastern Shore but of which few examples stand in Dorchester County. The Goldsborough House is the only example remaining in Cambridge, the county seat. Important features which generally characterize these buildings are the brick construction, watertable, wooden exterior cornice, service wing, and architrave interior trim.

Tourism department to conduct Halal food-handling seminar-A A +A
Monday, September 3, 2012
MABALACAT -- The Department of Tourism (DOT) – Central Luzon is set to conduct its first of a series of seminars and workshops on preparation and handling of Halal food on September 17.
DOT-Central Luzon director Ronnie P. Tiotuico said they extended an invitation to hotel and restaurant managers and chefs to the workshops which will be held between 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Marlim Mansions Hotel, Diamond Subd., Balibago, Angeles City.
Tiotuico said the seminar will equip stakeholders in the food service and hospitality industry with basic working knowledge on the general guidelines in the preparation and handling of halal food.
"At the same time, it will also prepare the industry for an anticipated exponential increase in visitor arrivals from generally Muslim countries like Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and the Middle East via Clark International Airport," Tiotuico said.
"DoT is taking part in the national effort to develop the halal industry as a potential growth area for development due to the increasing presence of Muslim-Filipinos in this part of the region," he added.
The Asean Cooperation in Food, Agriculture and Forestry stated that Halal or Muslim Food does not contain any ingredients or products of animals that were slaughtered based on the Shariah Law.
Adam Idrus Bunajos, a muslim chef/cook and restaurant operations manager from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia, has volunteered and will talk about Halal food preparations, according to Tiotuico.
A registration fee of P400 per participant will be required to cover the cost of an early lunch plus certificate of attendance. Handouts will be sent through email.
This project is jointly sponsored by the Hotel and Restaurants in Pampanga (Harp) led by its President Susan Manansala of Euroasia Hotel and the Angeles City Tourism Office led by the City Tourism Officer Christine Nunag.
Interested participants are advised to text their full name and establishment to mobile numbers 0939-904-5231 or 0917-506-2221.
Registration is on first-come-first-serve basis. Priority shall be granted to DoT-accredited establishments, Tiotuico said.
