Several observers have recalled Lord Callaghan saying "Crisis? What crisis?" in January 1979 when he returned home from the Guadaloupe summit to a country where it seemed that civil society was on the verge of breaking down, if it had not broken down already. As some of us mature students of politics know, Jim did not say this. It was the headline in the Sun over a story that included the following exchange at London airport:
Journalist: "What ... of the mounting chaos in the country at the moment?"
Callaghan: "I don't think that other people in the world would share the view that there is mounting chaos."
In January 1979 the bodies remained unburied owing to the activities of unions such as Nasty and Thuggo. Twenty years later the bodies are in refrigerator lorries rather than in hospital mortuaries on account of ... well, it is difficult to say precisely, but it is certainly something Mr Blair promised to rectify before the last election. As the manifesto puts it: "We will save the NHS." Oddly enough, the observers of whom I speak have drawn the parallel with Lord Callaghan's supposed words rather than with the state of the nation when he too returned to these shores from climes as sunny as those recently enjoyed by Mr Blair.
I take no objection to his having a nice holiday with his family. Nor do I think he was guilty of a sin against the Holy Ghost in delivering his children back to school a day late. Why he and his wife chose that particular school in the first place perplexed a schoolmaster friend of mine who teaches at an independent London boys' school. It was, he considered, "much too disciplined". Admittedly the Blairs had been landed in trouble by Mr David Blunkett, who had made a great song and dance about the responsibility of parents for their children's absences, when he would have been better advised to leave this sort of thing to the schools and instead to concentrate his mind on larger and more general questions.
But the public - by which of course I mean the papers' - response to the holiday and the little Blairs' late arrival was very similar to the response to Mr Mandelson's resignation. It was not one of true puritanism, which believes in the supremacy of the Scriptures and in the possibility of personal communication with the Almighty. It was rather one of what has come to be called puritanism: envious, grudging, it's-all-right-for- some puritanism, displayed daily in different ways in the columns of both the Guardian and the Daily Mail, obsessed as it is by the value of people's houses.
The parallel is not so much with James Callaghan in January 1979 as with Harold Macmillan in January 1958. Peter Thorneycroft, the Chancellor, and his two junior Treasury ministers, Enoch Powell and Nigel Birch, resigned over Macmillan's indulgent attitude towards public expenditure. Macmillan called their departure "these little local difficulties", much as Mr Blair refers to his own ministerial resignations today. Mr Whelan, though not a minister, was more important to journalists than most real ones. What I should like to know, however, is this: having exposed wrongdoing, why is the leaker of Mr Mandelson's loan, whoever he may have been, not hailed as a constitutional hero rather than reprehended as a party traitor?
Afterwards the parallel breaks down rather. Thorneycroft, Powell and Birch were early supporters of Mr Blair, and of Mr Gordon Brown as well. Indeed, Mr Brown is, in theory anyway, as stern an upholder of financial rectitude as Mr Blair, if not more so. This is where the popular picture - of a Mr Blair supported by a now departed Mr Mandelson against a Mr Brown supported by an also departed Mr Whelan - becomes blurred.
Mr John Prescott, certainly, does not agree with them. He is called a self-confessed Keynesian in rather the same way as someone else might be described as a self-confessed child molester. Brendan Bracken, the confidant of Winston Churchill and Minister of Information in the war, once called the Cambridge economist "the man who made inflation respectable". In fact J M Keynes was highly conscious of inflation and of its adverse consequences for what he called "the rentier class".
Still, one sees what Bracken meant. Keynes is now being used much as Disraeli was used in the Conservative Party of 1979-81, before the Expulsion of the Wets. Then Disraeli was a code-word for being opposed to Mrs Thatcher: today Keynes is a code-word for being opposed to Mr Blair.
The great economist would almost certainly be amused if he knew he had been taken up by Old Labour. For his entire life he was not only a liberal with a small "l" but an active member of the Liberal Party. Though he was approached several times, he refused to join Labour because of its attachment to the trade unions and its basis in the working class. He would have been a most welcome addition to Mr Blair's New Labour.
Mr Blair says that he proposes to go on as he started, with, as he or somebody else at No 10 wrote in Friday's Independent: "Resolve, determination, real grip and a sense of purpose and direction. That is what New Labour offers. That is what I offer. Strong leadership. Real leadership. Leadership the country wants and deserves. Hot air. Sentences without verbs."
The most significant thing Mr Blair has said in the post-resignations period is that the Government was elected as New Labour and intended to carry on as such. Hugh Gaitskell wanted to abolish Clause IV after the 1959 defeat and failed. Mr Blair succeeded. Gaitskell, contrary to the received view today, did not want to change the name. His more spirited ally Douglas Jay did, but not to lose "Labour" completely. Jay suggested "Labour and Radical" or "Labour and Reform". Mr Blair, or somebody else, hit on "New Labour". Whether the party is legally now "New Labour" rather than "Labour" is more doubtful. In view of recent oppressive legislation on the labelling of election candidates, it may turn out to be important. One of the most misleading lines Shakespeare ever wrote was that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Names possess a power of their own. Elizabeth David would not have exerted such a seminal influence as a cookery writer if she had been called Sharon Snooks.
Mr Blair has not only changed the name. He has changed, or is trying to change, the party as well. Gaitskell, Jay and Anthony Crosland - regarded by some as John the Baptist figures - believed in Keynes as an economic guide, in public control of the economy, in national enterprise and in equality. New Labour has dropped all four. Instead the manifesto promised constitutional reform and the rehabilitation of education and the health service. The last promise certainly looks as if it will remain unfulfilled.

We all know that egghead Bill Gates, but what about Microsoft's other hero, Paul Allen? When it comes to advancing technology, there's a reason Allen has twice been included in Time Magazine's list of the world's 100 most influential people. In his autobiography, Allen tells it all. From building the world's biggest technology company to the first privately funded spacecraft to his breakthrough work in neuroscience, Allen's ideas resound.
Ever heard the term "non-representational art"? If not, watch this movie for the definition. It's a futuristic nightmare comedy, a dystopian satire. It was so bizarre in fact, director Terry Gilliam almost never saw its release. As the story goes, Universal Pictures felt the movie was too weird and delayed its release. So, Gilliam screened it for the LA Film Critics Assoc. They named it Picture Of The Year for 1985 and basically embarrassed Universal into releasing it.

Historical Traveler Reviews Palazzo Avino Ravello
Among the finest in Europe!
My wife and I visited Palazzo Sasso for the first time in August 2003.
We had high expectations, but this magnificent place exceeded them greatly. Our room was warm and charming and offered a spectacular view out over the Mediterranean and down the Amalfi Coast. The grounds and facilities are second to none. Our meals were superb and service could not have been better.
From Palazzo Sasso, you walk everywhere throughout the beautiful and spotlessly clean village of Ravello. This trip gave us a peaceful and a truly memorable holiday. We can't want to go back.
Restaurant is truly mediocre
We were disappointed by our stay at the Palazzo Sasso on our Honeymoon.
We spent 2 weeks touring the Amalfi Coast and Tusacny and stayed on many five star proerties. Palazzo Sassos rooms were the smallest we saw. For the prices they charge, their service needs work. We ordered a bottle of Prosecco and waited at least 20 minutes for it to arrive, when they came, they opened the bottle without showing it to us and only after it was served did we find it wasnt prosecco at all but a bottle of some ogther spumanti they were promoting.We proceeded to dinner at their restaurant Rossellinis which has a michelin star. Here the service became laughably bad. We were informed, (despite the fact that we had reserved dinner months in advance) that the restaurant was 'closed' but featuring a special neapolitan tasting menu. For 110 euros per person, we did not expect the food to arrive cold or to have problems getting our water and wine glasses re-filled. The local tasting menu which was to be paired with local wines, was mediocre and paired with wines which were distinctly non local. I get better pasta at my local Italian joint around the corner. When we complained that the wine was not local they acted like we were crazy to be upset about such a thing. We dined at several other one and two star restaurants and had spectacularly better food for significantly less money. We went away feeling as if the restaurant makes it a habit of overcharging tourists who they (mistakenly) assume don't know better. Quite a disappointment.
Worst Service!
Future hotel guests beware! When we checked in, I confirmed with the front desk that we had a King-sized room at our confirmed rate. When we were brought to our room, the room was tiny with a bed no bigger than a double sized bed. Out of curiosity, I called down to the front desk and asked if all king sized beds were so small in the hotel and then was told, very rudely, that they placed us into a queen sized room because of a "computer error" that gave away our room to another guest. When we asked that we be switched immediately to the room that we had booked, they went on to inform us that there were no more king sized rooms left. Basically, they gave our room away, neglected to tell us even when originally asked, and attempted to charge us the king size rate for a significantly inferior room that came with a much lower rate. Since all of the rooms were booked, we were left with no choice but to stay in the smaller room feeling, rightly, that the hotel would have cheated us had we not been curious enough to ask.Afterwards, the staff was very apologetic and adjusted our room-rate down mainly because I made a scene in the front lobby screaming that the hotel lied to us and tried to steal our money.The hotel itself is a very nice property with a nice view, but the Villa Cimbrone right next door is very nice as well and has the same view of the Bay, and I can only imagine that the people working there are more honest. If staying at the Sasso, avoid anything below the King rooms as they are very small, and some don't even come with windows. A large number of rooms (including King rooms) do not have bathtubs either.If you are going to stay in the area and want a truly great hotel, stay somewhere like Le Sirenuse or the San Pietro. The Sasso just isn't worth the potential headache.
The Best Hotel in the World
Outside of a few exceptions, this is the finest hotel in the world. The views from the sea-view rooms to the magnificent breakfasts make this place a wonderful experience. Things to look forward to include: the great smell that pervades the hotel (some sort of secret cleaning product), the food, the service (the front desk is incredibly helpful and fun!), the cards asking you what type of linens you want on your bed the next day, and the view, the view, the view!
Sit back relax and let the staff at the Palazzo Sasso make your visit an unforgetable journey.
Romance overlooking the Bay of Naples
Palazzo Sasso is a wonderful hotel to relax & unwind in, beautiful restaurant with fantastic food, dine out on the terrace overlooking Bay of Naples & Amalfi Coast as the Moon comes up with Napolitan Mandolin Musicians playing in the background, nothing else compares to it, you could not get anything more romantic than this. Ravello itself is high up on the hills, very pretty town and 50mins to Positano & 30mins to Amalfi, we hired a bike for 60Euros a day to explore, impossible to walk anywhere as to high up & too hot!!! but lots of tours available & boat trips (also possible to hire out own boat for a day but expensive �450 upwards!) The hotel is unprentious for a 5 star hotel and the staff will make you feel very at ease, not fussy at all, wonderful rooms, amazing pool & jacuzzi on roof top however drinks and food is exoensive but there are a few local restaurants you can walk to. Highly recommended, would go back again.
You will love it!
We capped off our one week anniversary present to ourselves with a 2 night stay at the Palazzo Sasso. Antonio is, as others have noted, a gem. The staff were courteous and evidently well trained. From the complimentary champagne to the departing gift, it was truly a delightful way to end our anniversary trip. If you visit their website, the views and the hotel are exactly as presented...you will not be disappointed!!! Peter
Just Paradise
You can not go wrong with this hotel. From the staff, to the food, to the rooms, to the view, this is the best hotel I stayed at in Italy. It has a perfect view perched on a mountainside overlooked the sea, a great breakfast in the mornings, and Revello is a great place to stay. In my book, this is the best place on the entire Amalfi Coast.
An oasis to unwind, relax, revive and rejuvenate in
We stayed here in April 2003 for 3 nights and just want to endorse the comments of those who have gone before. The superstars at The Palazo Sasso are the ambience , which is amazingly relaxed and informal, and the position. The views are spellbinding. I will add Antonio to this category too, we are most grateful to him for the way he looked after us. We were permitted to check in early and check out late, no trouble no charge.That is the Hotel's philosophy, so consequently you relax from the moment you arrive. We loved our king mountain room so I can only say go and make a reservation now.The rate of 375 euros a night is exceptional value and we did not feel the poor relation to those in the super suites. This is another of the Hotel's strengths we felt entirely comfortable throughout our stay, no snobbishness just friendly and realxed, very well trained staff. We are going back for a week next May, I encourage you to do the same!
Heaven or paradise?
We were married on Palazzo Sasso's glorious terrace overlooking the indescribable blue of the mediterranean sea and sky, but I promise, it is not only this special memory that makes us 'yearn to return'. This hotel is exceptional in both quality of service and ambience. In the following 4 week period of our honeymoon around Italy we were unable to find any accommodation or setting that came close to matching that of the Palazzo Sasso. We stayed in the Belvedere Suite (the hotel's finest) which had its own enormous private terrace with dining setting for utterly private alfresco lunches or dinners. Push button controlled curtains let in the morning sunshine and that spectacular view without even having to get out of the massive king-sized bed! Of course the suite had all other luxuries you could wish for...sunken spa next to the bed plus fully appointed bathroom, B&O stereo and TVs, Bulgari toiletries etc etc. And for the price (1,500,000 lire per night at the time) we felt it represented the best value for money when compared to what we received at other hotels. The view alone is priceless. Ravello is undoubtedly most charming of the Amalfi Coast locales, and Palazzo Sasso is the only place to stay there. Heaven or paradise? It's a stunning mix of both. Enjoy. Prue Jones
The Gem of the Amalfi
We stayed for 2 nights this June at the fabulous Palazzo Sassso and enjoyed every minute.
From the moment we arrived at the Salerno train station to be picked up by our extremely jovial limo driver (who had a special penchant for the word "special")for the spectacular drive along the coast to Ravello (being a passenger is so much more fun than being a harried driver).
We were met by Antonio the desk manager, probably the most helpful manager/concierge we have had the pleasure of meeting (we've stayed at plenty of Four Seasons and Ritzs). The room had a stupendous view and the bed and bathrooms were new and very luxurious. The restaurant is one of the best on the coast. Do not miss breakfast on the terrace!
The staff were extremely friendly and efficient.
Only one complaint- we could only stay for two days. They are continously booked up. We left for Capri and called Antonio a number of times to see if we could come back for another day or two but to no avail!
Bravo Palazzo Sasso!
Grazie! We will be back!

Amore and the Umbrella Incident
... had this back home!
After Ravello we took a bus back down to Amalfi and wandered around the bay area and duomo (cathedral). You can see the interesting Arabic influence on this cathedral in the picture. Very different from most you see in Europe. I'm sure there was plenty more to see of Amalfi but it wasn't that significantly different than Positano so we didn't feel like we were missing much by moving on. Plus, we needed ...
Just in time
... we had to prepare for the walk uphill. The walk is great, some sections going through the back streets of towns then winding through vineyards with dogs barking and of course beautiful views. We were variously assaulted with wind rain and sun but thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Just in time we made it back to the hotel before it bucketed down. A few hours of relaxing while the wind and rain howled around our terrace. We had booked dinner at ...
Day 19 Day trip to Ravello and Villa Cimbrone
... Back at the coast in Amalfi, we decided to taxi home rather than face another SITA bus ride, especially as we planned to stop for a meal at Open Gate Hotel, the Praiano Hotel owned by the family of Stefania, the manager of our Positano Villa, Adonia. We had a lovely meal and were treated like royalty by the family and delivered home to Positano in a relatives ...
Learning on the Fly
... was terrific and the owner a sweet older Italian lady. She knew the apartment we were staying and said that customers always said it was a nice place but, "too many steps."
To complete our evening we stopped at a little altimentari (grocery store) for breakfast supplies. Chuck likes to think he is an Italian language expert, after all he has the Rosetta Stone course. By the time the night ended we wondered if it laid on his ...
The Island of Capri
... from New Orleans that has been converted into a museum (free). It's one of the main tourist attraction of Anacapri. We learned that outsiders cannot rent a car or drive on the Isle of Capri; only locals have the authority. However, they have bus service between Capri and Anacapri, or one can hike between the two. From Anacapri one can take the chairlift up to the top of Monte Solaro to enjoy the views of the Bay of Naples, ...

best things to do in Paris? I think you missed this one: http://www.streetarttourparis.com/
Paris has so much to offer in every season of the year. We have been there in pretty much every type of weather and love it every single time. We came up with a list of offbeat things to do in Paris - worth having a look at if you are sick of the Eiffel and the Louvre (we take you to these 2 places in a different light :))
waoo this is nice article, i was in paris recently and i have compiled a list of things to do in paris. you may see it here:
Paris. See quirky you tube site completely dedicated to the offbeat, *insolite*, hidden and cool parts and places in Paris...60seondparis....short and often funny...

You guys are children!!
Paul loves Daniel's D.
My wife and I are in the last few days of a month in Paris and have absolutely loved it! We just had a few laughs at the Parisians expense and walked around Paris today taking some pretty funny photos (http://thenurseandthebuilder.wordpress.com/2013/04/25/the-things-parisians-really-love/) but a quick five things you should know about Paris are: 1) picnic in any and every park you can. You can also enjoy a bottle of wine in the parks. 2) the big markets in the north of the city (Les Puces) are only on Weekends but well worth a visit 3) little corner Bistros are great food and atmosphere for a good price, just choose a busy one 4) always try french before English when speaking to anyone, it will significantly improve the response 5) if its raining the Paris monents look unreal at night, so don't be too disheartened Enjoy
i was touched several times by a man dressed in a tight lether uniform who said he was a part of the law force fair enought to him but i dont no why we got naked tho

These guys, who hail from Dublin, Ireland, are great and it is just a matter of time until they hit it big in the States. Come hear them for free in the beautiful setting of Mt. Vernon Place.
Here is a quote from a recent review of their latest album "Musical artistry and brilliant poetic lyricism, when combined, make for some of the finest music the world has ever known. If lighter techno-pop is what you like to listen to, then The Guggenheim Grotto is more than a music fan could wish for. Their musicality is tremendous… their tunes are catchy and inspiring, at once hooking the listener and creating an immediate addiction. Add to that harmonic mastery a keen sense of lyricism and modern poetry and you have a hands-down winning combination." - Embo Blake, HybridMagazine.com

"Distracting Narrator"
I've read five or six of Cara Black's books; this is the first audio recording I've chosen. I will continue to read Black, but I won't listen to Montbertrand. I may have underrated the story, but it's only because I couldn't finish the audiobook.
Haven't finished it yet -- I have the book in my library and will read it the old-fashioned way.
Not if she tries to alter her voice for different characters. She just doesn't know how to do it without making all of them sound the same, sort of drugged and sleepy. Better narrators make it easy to distinguish one character from another. She'd have been better off just using her regular voice throughout.
Don't know yet.

www. DemocracyNow.org - For more than two decades, Michael Moore has been one of the most politically active, provocative and successful documentary filmmakers in the business. In an in-depth interview with Democracy Now!, Michael Moore talks about his new memoir, "Here Comes Trouble: Stories from My Life," which comprises 20 biographic vignettes that capture how his political and sociological viewpoints developed. He also discusses the numerous attacks and death threats he received after speaking out against former President George W. Bush, after winning a 2003 Academy Award for his film, Bowling for Columbine. He first discussed these fears and necessity to hire a security team on Democracy Now! last year, which ultimately encouraged him to write publicly about these incidents in his memoir.

This past September 11, Western leaders hailed the "fully" and "irreversibly"
independent Kosovo – still unrecognized by most UN members – for achieving
additional "full independence."The International Steering Group's
Civilian Office, which had the power to block laws or ministerial appointments,
closed up shop, and Dutch international representative Pieter Feith gave a
speech in Albanian which concluded that "Kosovo has realistic prospects" for EU
membership.The ISG – composed of American, European and Turkish
overseers – explained its decision to grant Serbia's Albanian separatists this
full autonomy by citing the region's "clear support of a democratic and
multi-ethnic state." US President Barack Obama said Kosovo has made "significant
progress," parroting Kosovo prime minister Hashim Thaci, who said that "Kosovo
has made significant progress... in building the institutions of a modern,
multi-ethnic, inclusive and democratic state."A week earlier, a standard
military news item by the American Forces Press Services reported on the
deployment of the South Carolina National Guard: "As part of KFOR [NATO's Kosovo
Force], they will... help set conditions for a stable, democratic, multi-ethnic
and peaceful Kosovo."Always on hand to promote the American-made Muslim
state of Kosovo, The Wall Street Journal praised Obama's praise and
editorialized in typical Slavophobic tones about how in 1999 president Bill
Clinton had "bypassed the United Nations and sent in the US Air Force...
president [George W.] Bush stood up to Russian bluster and European ambivalence
to push for its independence....though Serbia and Russia have tried to
undermine it."The editorial closed with a fully serious reference to
something that widely elicits snickers among those in the know: "The capital,
Pristina, has streets named after Bush and Clinton."Indeed, at least one
of those honored presidents knows he wasn't standing up to anything, but rather
giving in to the blackmail of violence. The disconnect between Kosovo on paper
and Kosovo in reality is what happens when US bureaucrats, relying on American
disinterest, distance and short memories are able to operate in the shadows,
birthing what international observers have called a mafia statelet in Europe,
run by an "ethnic tyranny," with an economy based on heroin and international
aid.AND YET at this moment our National Guard soldiers, in conjunction
with German, Austrian, Hungarian, Croatian, Slovenian and other Axis allies –
have their guns trained on the reluctant Serbs, in preparation for a final
solution to the "northern problem." The climate has turned explosive as the
police – stocked with former KLA terrorists-cum-freedom-fighters – have been
given increased autonomy, which on June 28 they used to harass, undress, drag
and beat Serbian pilgrims coming for the Patriarch's liturgy on St. Vitus
Day.To seal the next stage of Kosovo's dark evolution, KFOR will
dismantle the last of the barricades, during which we are likely to see a
provocation – used intermittently to goad Serbs into reacting – which then will
"necessitate" forceful action to finally integrate them into Kosovo's
institutions. This will achieve a de facto acceptance of Kosovo as reality and,
for our part, the fulfillment of Albanian territorial demands.The Serbs
will be the ones fingered, yet again, for causing the problems – since that's
whom NATO troops are being pitted against as they extend the thugocracy to the
north. Just in time, the otherwise sparse cameras will be invited back in, to
get the approved Kosovo story, reinforcing the edifice of lies upon which "the
world's newest country" is built."KFOR announces reinforcements with the
new unit that should discipline Serbs in northern Kosovo," is how Radenko
Nedeljkovic, head of Kosovska Mitrovica county, put it. He called on Serbs not
to be provoked but to continue with peaceful means of staying in
Kosovo.However, the organized Kosovo-wide pogroms of March 2004 – one of
those truly defining events that nonetheless manages to slip into Balkan
oblivion – gave us a taste of their likely fate, should they stay in an
independent Kosovo.Internationals there noted that the deadly riots only
stopped when Thaci and Kosovo's Security Forces Minister Agim Ceku said "stop" –
three days in. Forty-thousand Serbs fled the province then, joining the 200,000
who had fled upon the terror unleashed by the KLA as NATO's ground force in June
1999. The pogrom was a message to the international community to move faster on
independence. It was successful.Our Kosovo intervention "demonstrated to
the world that terrorists can indeed successfully alter the borders of sovereign
nations," read a recent letter in this newspaper by reader Michael Pravica, "and
encourages secessionists the world over as national borders unravel because of
the desecration and erosion of international law."Indeed, as of this
writing, European media are reporting that Spain's Catalonia region is following
the Kosovo precedent and planning a secession referendum for
2014.ATTESTING TO the State Department's vast efforts on behalf of its
ill-begotten progeny, Thaci's byline has been popping up in American newspapers,
where he called the end of supervision "a recognition that Kosovo has evolved
into a mature, independent democracy," and referred to Kosovo as a "success
story for democratic values."This is a man whose criminal history and
countless rackets are legendary in Albania. A recent two-year Council of Europe
investigation exposed that Hashim "the Snake" Thaci "is the head of a
'mafia-like' Albanian group responsible for smuggling weapons, drugs and human
organs," read The Guardian in December 2010.These are more than mere
accusations, as several Albanians recently have risked their lives to come clean
about what they witnessed in 1999-2000 as guards of the holding pens, drivers of
the doomed, and organ-deliverers.Yet even with this macabre Kosovo story
that finally, uncharacteristically managed to make it to American shores, the
confounding Kosovo pattern prevailed: the story had no legs and was soon
forgotten. Such that 18 months later we were treated to the spectacle of Thaci
ringing the NASDAQ bell.A notorious gangster widely known to have killed
his own roommate, Thaci executed his political rivals including six of his
lieutenants the very week he was meeting with then-US secretary of state
Madeleine Albright. In February 2002, a UN Mission in Kosovo police officer told
the Reality Macedonia news site how he was ordered to nix the investigation of a
close Thaci associate named Kadolj, who had the KLA evicting people and
collecting illegal taxes for Thaci's party, the PDK (Democratic Party of
Kosovo). Kadolj further "threatened to kill the local UNMIK administrator...
[when he] was asked to move his office out of the Municipality
building."Indeed, this summer the EU's justice mission in Kosovo, EULEX
– under pressure from a Kosovo opposition party – came out with a report that
PDK pursued a strategy of eliminating dozens of senior political figures and
activists from rival parties after the war, including as recently as
2003.Thaci's predecessor, Ramush Haradinaj, also a prolific killer, was
airlifted to a US hospital in 2000 after he started a gunfight with a rival
clan. US officials from Camp Bondsteel removed evidence in the case and
suppressed the investigation, according to The London Observer of September 10,
2000, and AFP on October 25, 2000.In the course of his 2007 war crimes
trial at The Hague, several witnesses were killed and others were threatened and
dropped out."United Nations prosecutors in The Hague accused him of
having organized the slaughter of civilians during the war," read an otherwise
pro-Haradinaj article by Vanity Fair writer William Langewiesche in December
2008."Innocent Serbs and suspected Albanian
collaborators.Mothers, children, simple farmers. Christ, like pigs in a
ditch. He has always denied it."Meanwhile, Kosovo president Atifete
Jahjaga – heralded in the West as a female president of a Muslim country – has
been making the rounds to America's editorial boards, universities and Women in
the World conferences, her hosts blissfully clueless as to her
activities.Kosovo is a gangster's paradise where even the newspapers
publish threats against journalists as "letters to the editor," in defense of
the homicidal officials who subsidize the papers through ads. This "modern
democracy" is ruled by fear, with a mafia grip over the population, some of whom
are now commenting that there were never such media constrictions under
Belgrade.LAST YEAR, a Foreign Policy article titled "Thug Life" called
Washington out for entrenching an elite that operates above the law: "It is
difficult to see how democracy or respect [for] the rule of law could develop
and flourish amid such overt displays of American support for a corrupt and
criminal leadership... [It] has undercut efforts to pursue indictments for war
crimes and investigate high-level corruption.The war crimes... have
never been fully investigated – in fact, in some cases they have been covered
up."In early 1999, some newspapers tried to give Americans a sense of
the nature and genesis of Thaci's narco-terrorist KLA, which had been a purely
criminal outfit until we ruthlessly backed and rebranded it. But with none of
the bad news sticking, today we are helping seal a fait accompli of yet another
terror-won, ethnically pure state in the Balkans. In this case, a second
Albanian state that will eventually form a Greater Albania, as was the ultimate
goal, and the open secret, from the start.The EU and NATO likewise are
talking Kosovo membership already, while putting Serbia off until it says "Uncle
(Sam)." In other words, a Muslim non-country is on a faster track than an
ancient Christian country that was a founding UN member.Now having a
creeping sense that "liberated Kosovo" was only ever intended as a base of
criminal operations, lawful-minded Albanians and Serbs alike should demand that
some of the compromise solutions that had been swept off the table be put back
on.The writer specializes in the Balkans, and is an unpaid advisory
board member of the American Council for Kosovo.

Indhuja Pillai is a young blogger currently working in Bangalore, but you might know her as the person who set up marry.indhuja.com, a site where she looked for potential suitors for herself (in a tongue in cheek manner, of course), after her parents created a profile for her on a matrimonial site. Her one page site too off like nobody's business, and soon went viral, with the youngsters-hounded-by-their-parents-to-get-married crowd identifying with Indhuja and her problem. BlogAdda caught up with Indhuja for an interview about the comet that lit up her her blogging career - marry.indhuja.com and other things.

In the Context of the Family
Besides fitting events in your ancestor's life into national and regional historical events, consider fitting them into other events in their immediate family as well. Had a parent just died when a child decided to move? Did a parent's marriage to a new spouse take place a few years before the child left home? Always consider what was going on within your ancestor's family when certain things were happening in their life
