The Rise and Demise of Qaddafi
New York- I'm appearing in a new series which premiered last week for Discovery Networks entitled Evolution of Evil about the rise of dictatorships in the twentieth century. In the first episode I discuss the rise of Muammar Qaddafi (alt. Gaddafi) over the course of forty years between the ouster of King Idriss in the September Revolution and his unceremonious demise during the earth shaking Arab uprisings of 2011. I appear alongside Bruce St. John, author of Libya: From Colony to Independence, and others in this new series profiling the men who became synonymous with megalomania.
The next episode I will appearing on will be Saddam: Butcher of Baghdad on August 20.
Abou Zeid and Mokhtar Belmokhtar
New York- The first images have seeped out of the Franco-Chadian battles in the Adrar des Ifoghas and the Adrar Tigharghar areas of northeastern Mali's Kidal Region today. Both Chadian state television and al-Jazeera Arabic gained (or were given) access. Contained briefly in the al-Jazeera English version of the AJA report was this fleeting image of a dead man alleged to be the notorious Mokhtar Belmokhtar, the AQIM/Signatories in Blood katiba leader.
Chadian TV describes its battle as one against "narco-terrorists" of "diverse nationalities" while displaying images of bedraggled captives, mud-caked technicals and dust-encrusted munitions. French news weekly Le Point has exclusive images of French soldiers captured war material from AQIM including a BM-21 Grad truck with a 40 shell Multiple Launch Rocket System.
Update: Long after I posted this, France publicly confirmed the death of AQIM's Abou Zeid but never did such for the case of Belmokhtar. The fate of Belmokhtar is still the subject of wild speculation. Chadian President Idriss Déby Itno said firmly (if bizarrely) that Belmokhtar exploded himself after learning of the death of Abou Zeid in a moment of pure desperation. On the other hand, Algiers indicates that it believes Belmokhtar is in southern Libya-likley related to their version of deadly events surrounding the In Amenas gas plant raid. Only time will truly tell I suppose.
Mali, North Korea and the Confluence of Histories
New York- I had a couple of long term projects published at the end of this past week. The first was an examination of the little known history conjoining Mali in West Africa with North Korea in Northeast Asia over at Asia Times Online. I discovered this newly built part of Bamako while riding around on my fixer's motorcycle last year when we were trying to organize a semi-doomed trip toward the front line with MUAJO et co up in Mopti Region.
This spot I found (linked, left) in the Malian capital is called Carré des Armées (Army Square) and it was built by a North Korean state enterprise (not as if Pyongyang encourages private enterprise). As I begun to play with the idea of doing a full length article on the topic, it dawned on me that Mali and North Korea had a shared history dating all the way back to Mali's independence from France in 1960.
Not exactly a topic for broad mass consumption, I know, but for those who it may interest, I think it's a fascinating topic. It also speaks to a lesser understood phenomena of how ties forged in the heat of the Cold War still can very much exist in a post-Cold War world.
The ties between North Korea and Mali certainly may have lessened over the decades and have changed in their orientation (started out as political and military in the 1960s, now more transparently financial-the same goes for Mali's relationship with China). One of the key differences between the relationships between North Korea and China with an inherently unstable state like Mali is that seemingly no circumstances would or will derail 'business as usual.'
Just for argument's sake, I honestly think that if Ansar Eddine and its Salafi allies had somehow managed to capture Bamako and miraculously gain some kind of political legitimacy that over time Beijing and Pyongyang would still send delegations back to Mali to get their business interests on track. After all in 1960, the government of Modibo Keita was deemed a righteous, radical enough anti-imperialist government by Kim Il-sung and co to forge ties on the other side of the world. Maybe the anti-imperial tenets preached in the context of Salafiyya-jihadiyya would be revolutionary enough for the Beijing's politburo and the DPRK's Workers' Party of Korea to be able to keep infrastructure projects going uninterrupted. Who's to say….
The second was a passion project nearly 14 years in the making about the history and symbology of all the war zone/quixotic regime currencies have managed to collect in my travels over the years featured in The Christian Science Monitor. It spans from an out-of-circulation Iranian rial I obtained in Tehran in 1999 to a Libyan 1 dinar note I saved from Benghazi in 2011.
Not a project that even the most ambitious young turk with a fancy master's degree fresh out of Georgetown or Columbia could have done. It's a bit of a blood, sweat and tears project in that sense and I was thrilled to have it come to fruition. I've dealt with countless fast talking money changers, sky rocketing wartime inflation, crossed borders only opened when regimes were in the process of being toppled and made all sorts of other absurd, laborious entreaties to obtain this collection.
Many of these specimens were lost for years or so I thought, until I uncovered them last fall in a musty storage locker and began to examine them one by one. I then realized they merited an article treatment on their own.
Most of these notes (except the Qadaffi-era dinar which is still in circulation pending the release of new notes by Libya's central bank) are long out of circulation. And more importantly, each banknote tells a story both in its iconography laden artistry and in the circumstances in which I obtained it. The 20th anniversary of the Shia Islamic revolution in Iran, the post-9/11 war in Afghanistan, the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq, and so forth.
A Decade of War and Peace
Barcelona- Partly out of boredom and partly out of the itch to simply create something new out of old, I threw together this photo montage over the weekend. In this era of digital photography where one shoots thousands of frames rather than analog hundreds, I was reflecting on how almost all of the images I make will never see the light of day in this regard. I put this video together in a largely random fashion with images that have been just sitting in my laptop for years. I put the photos in the order they came to me as I grabbed them one by one from various folders containing my view of many of the biggest news events of the last 10 years.
Interspersed with them are much more sublime moments of everyday life around the world. An elephant in Thailand, an aged priest in Ethiopia, a glitzy office tower in Manhattan. This has been my reality and is our collective reality. Globalization and social networking simultaneously accelerate worldwide travel and technological integration while hyper compartmentalizing our lives. We speak more so to only those who we want to and listen to those with whom we already agree.
No one knows just where any of this is going. Billionaire fraudsters suddenly imprisoned, social revolutions springing up from seemingly nowhere (though not quite), calcified dictatorships counted on for decades in the interests of "stability" suddenly crumbling to pieces, it seems as if the entire world order is in question.
"From the Third World Countries to the Second and the First"
Barcelona- The above title is a line from the remix of M.I.A.'s Paper Planes single with Bun B and Rich Boy. It kind of capture's my day today in a way. Sitting in the First World which seems at points in danger of slipping in the Second and writing and wondering about the volatile politics of the Third in Mali that verges on Barcelona's own Manuel Castells' Fourth World in the north. I know Alfred Sauvy's Third World is supposed to be long out of fashion in the post-poltical correctness era of the Global North and South or Majority World not to mentions the BRICS but maybe that's why I continue to use it. Sometimes I simply like a passé expression out of sheer sentimentality. Other times it's just a more evocative term than something bland-sounding coined by a present-day economist, demographer or sociologist.
I have a new article out from my trip to Sévaré the other week in today's Christian Science Monitor. Despite a nuisance of a government minder, a confrontation with a fearsome man from the security forces and close to 100º F temperatures, I'm somehow managing to get some work out into the internet-o-sphere this week. The eurozone is in what seems like constant crisis and Spain here is chief among the economic enfants terribles. Well after Greece that is…
Nonetheless summer is here and things are plodding along. Unemployment is at record levels but at least there's a beach. And at least the perennial post-Franco nationalism and separatism here in Catalunya is confined to flags, football, and mostly civil politics unlike dear Mali from where I've come in recent weeks.
The cliché goes that Mali was West Africa's [lone?] success story under ATT in terms of democracy, good [or decent?] governance, corruption, and rule of law. Some Malians I spoke with over the weeks there strongly disagreed with all or parts of that characterization when describing day-to-day life under the "Soldier of Democracy" ATT's rule but dissatisfaction was setting in even amongst some in the pro-coup camp as the weeks turned to months and the politics went from roller coaster to quagmire.
There was a report today in a Bamako paper (Français) that Malian forces began an assault on Monday on a very northerly garrison called Taoudéni not far from the Algerian and Mauritanian borders. The logistics for such an operation would seem impossible without the direct military assistance of either Algiers or Nouakchott. But one report in one local paper doesn't necessary cut it. If there was renewed war in Mali, I'd think others would be breaking the story. Could just be a bit of regurgitated propaganda from Kati. We'll see if anything else filters through in the coming days.
Farewell- Yesterday I awoke to tragic news in my inbox. My editor at Asia Times Online, Anthony 'Tony' Allison, died of complications from a heart ailment in Hua Hin on the Gulf of Thailand. He was 59. I immediately wrote an email expressing my condolences and proceeded to mostly put it out of my head for the rest of the day. I was busy finishing up some edits on the CSM article featured in the box above and alternately worked on a piece for Jane's Islamic Affairs Analyst stemming from my trip to Mali. I then busied myself with petty tasks like doing laundry and went skateboarding at my favorite neighborhood spot at the entrance to the Barcelona zoo at the end of an incredibly hot day.
But today, in reading his obituary and tributes from us hacks, the news is really sinking in. Life is entirely unpredictable. When I saw Tim Hetherington standing outside the entrance of the hospital in Ajdabiya, Libya last year, I could never have guessed that just a few weeks later a guy of his stature in our industry would be killed. It's partly a product of getting older I suppose. The longer you live, the more likely it is people you know (or have been in the presence of) will die. I have this idea about when I was in my 20's, nothing in life seemed to change that dramatically. You could not talk to a friend on the opposite side of the country or the world for six months or even a year and the odds were their life had changed little in that interim. In the 30's, all that went to pot. Unromantic, dull-sounding terms came into play like "marriage track relationships."
Friends who were in these forced-sounding social constructs suddenly seem to drop off the face of the earth. People began to say predictable things with increasing consistency about buying houses and cars, sonograms and painting nurseries. New friendships then grew out of the commonality of those who eschewed such societal norms (ie those who were still out at the bars on Tuesday nights at 2am). No amount of pseudo-security or inherited wealth of one form or another can prevent the inevitable. We all eventually end up in the same place. It's what we do until then that matters. No one I've known or met who died in the decade of the 9/11 wars ever thought as they were packing their bags, "OK, this is my final trip." The first guys I knew who died in my field died in 2002. That was a decade ago. And somehow I am fortunate enough to look out at the brilliant blue skies over northeastern Spain 10 years on with what seem like endless possibilities still laying ahead.
Portraits of Libya
Barcelona- I finally was able to upload this Libya mash-up video I had been working on in NYC from here in Catalunya. For technical reasons beyond my knowledge or control, I was having a devil of a time getting the thing onto Youtube before. I had wanted to get this online before the Friends of Anton benefit event at Christies in Manhattan on May 15. Not that I had anything to do with the event of course, but I was one human degree of separation from Anton Hammerl and I simply thought it would be something nice to do. I'm off to the next conflagration in the shattered Republic of Mali and wanted to get this up beforehand.
This project is obviously not a documentary or scripted television package. These are memories from Libya in total upheaval in 2011. This is my Libya mash-up, dedicated to those photographers that arrived in Libya to tell its story and never made it out. I want to reiterate how grateful I am to the people of both eastern and western Libya. Without their immense hospitality this project would never have been possible. War throws people together in such an odd way who would otherwise likely never have met.

My France24 Interview
After War
Barcelona- It is never not a strange, sometimes awkward transition from a war in the third world to the oft petty tranquility of the first. Unable to get a flight from Tunis directly to Catalunya, my best bet was flying to Toulouse in southern France and getting to Spain overland. Landing in Toulouse where ramadan is a relatively minor affair amongst the city's immigrants rather than a society-wide compulsion as in north Africa was one transition. The radical change in climate was another such transition. The most significant and problematic change though can be one of internal isolation. Of being of a society and yet out of step with its norms. I never felt this so strongly as when returning from Afghanistan and Central Asia to Brooklyn (and later San Diego) in December of 2001.
Bombs, death, solidarity. And then suddenly indie rock kids, art school dilettantes mulling over gentrification as the most controversial issue in their lives and of course, the requisite dive bars. Walking up and down Atlantic avenue in a grubby Russian parachutist jacket given to me by a bartender in Turkmenistan who was a part-time hapless conscript in Turkmenbashi's 'neutral' military, I felt like a Viet Nam vet walking around in a daze in Tampa in 1982. A product of the society but disconnected painfully from it.
Now, nearly ten years on, I have become my accustomed to my own version of normalcy. Riding an immaculate French train through the Pyrenees with chain smoking Spanish mountain bikers, French hikers, and carefree Italian backpackers and me sitting there apart and alone with a laptop and cameras full of images of war and destruction, the intermingling of Europe's three primary Latin languages danced past my ears. They could never understand nor perhaps should they. I was a witness, an interlocutor between these seemingly disparate but sometimes unknowingly integrated worlds. I arrived back in Barcelona to a city of fully booked hotels and drunken, smiling tourists. Rescued by a friend with a couch for the night, next thing I know I am the debauched tourist, meeting a panoply of people from across the European Union.
It was all as if it never happened. As if the Jebel Nafusa war was some distant, faint relict of my imagination. Was the artillery as bad as I recall? Was the food really so scarce? Some say to live life is to almost die. Well in that stark expressionism, I suppose I have just lived and Barcelona is some sort of waking dream. The skateboards click by. The Catalan chatters at the sidewalk cafe. The Bangladeshis pedal their mysteriously frozen cervesa beers trying to outmaneuver their Pakistani competitors. West African prostitutes aggressively grab at British louts. The breeze passes through my auberge espagnole as a calm city waits outside below. Oh Libya, what have you done to me?

Politics Counts
Foreign Policy
As I said before: "I can't have illegals working for me, I'm running for office for goodness sakes!"...
I say good for you. You cannot go back once the children are grown. You need to balance things and it looks like you are trying to do that. Two thumbs up
Sure, that must be the reason.
"Sen. Marco Rubio (D., Fla.)".
Not a Dem.
That's fine. But when you get the VP nod and accept, does that mean your kids no longer matter?
Paradoxically, this probably redounds to Rubio's favor in comparison with the jockeying veep wannabees who might hover around The Mitt.
A more astute political move than the usual trolls will give him credit for. Family counts for an awful lot in the Hispanic culture. To say he is family first will play to that. The retreat will only be a fund-raiser anyway. If he goes on the ticket, there is no reason for him to attend the fund-raiser now. There will be many chances later.
For sharing your expertise in "Hispanic culture".
Win-win, for the moment. Necons get misty-eyed and sing hymns to family values, and Rubio looks good to Romney - better than Romney, in fact. It's only when their proposed policies are shown to be against most families except the richest will this potential campaign duo be revealed as business-as-usual Republicans.
if obama manages to get re elected rubio will be tossed out of america with the rest of the Latino's..that will make his kids happy!
The most secretive presidential campaign in modern history continues to leave voters and the media in the dark about the rather important topic of who may one day be in line to lead this country should Romney get elected and something happen to our new dear leader. Marco Rubio was never being vetted, contrary to Romney's apparent lie to the press. The GOP is not about to appease Hispanics and antagonize the white base of the party by making a dark-skinned man the number two on Mitt's ticket. Besides, Rubio has consistently opposed many of Romney's policies, including his bizarre assertion that the 13 million undocumented people in America -- including kids -- will simply deport themselves. http://www.sunstateactivist.org
Rubio is so hung up on what the media says. They are a bunch of idiots, Marco. Ignore them. Who cares whether you were invited to Romney's fundraiser? Don't take it so personally. They are just trying to get under your skin.
He's being vetted for VP......this makes him look like a wonderful "family man"................I do think he's cute though.
Do us a favor -please spend ALL your time with your family.
"The most secretive presidential campaign in modern history continues to leave voters an the media in the dark about the rather important topic of who may one day be in line to lead this country should Romney get elected."
That is because the Obama campaign does not know who Romney is going to select as his running mate. But when they do, I'm sure they'll be the eighth or nineth source to report it.
ps - Nobody cares about your pathetic blog. If you had any readers you wouldn't need to post "anonymously" on the Wall Street Journal.
Rubio is holding out for a cabinet position in the new Romney/ Pawlenty administration - probably Sec. of Homeland Security
Marco Rubio (D., Fla.)? How does the WSJ mess this up? It is Marco Rubio (R., Fla.)
Romney's already switched his position from a few days ago on immigration. He'd make a great leader. Just listen to what he mumbles one day and then prepare for something different. Simple!
In his campaign-contribution filing Romney lists himself as an author and "performer." Tells you a lot.
Not sure how it compares to his old listing: "unemployed."
That's nice. But this article tags him as a Democrat. Take him back. We don't want him.
Boy...this guy is getting a lot more attention than he deserves. If this is the best of the GOP in 2012, Obama has nothing to worry about.
@324, yet another post riddled with inconsistency and fallacy.
If "secretive" bothers you, not sure how you pushed the Obama button. 10 years of his social life just.......absent, missing. Also, it was not advertised that our current president was previously registered with a third party....the far left New Socialist Party. Talking about secrets. Not to mention that Obama himself claimed to be born in Kenya on his literary bio, and changed it when he wanted to run for president. Secrets.....don't talk to us about secrets. Your guy is king.
Why wouldn't a conservative Hispanic do well in the conservative party? You know he would, maybe that is the problem? .....and he is light years sharper than Biden. No doubt.
Uh,uh, I make choices too.
I chose an old white guy over a woman.
I guess that "D" after his name stands for "Dead in the Water" as a VP candidate.
Denise at 5:07....I'm disappointed in you: only one "far left" and only one "claimed to be born in Kenya" this time around --- come on, we need your best Michelle Malkin imitiations!
No, Denise, your party will never put a Latino on the ticket because, like you, they are xenophobic and racist. Isn't that why you called President Obama the leader of the New Black Panther party? Isn't that why you are now calling him a socialist? Isn't that why you are insinuating he was born in Kenya? You wouldn't pull that with a white president. You hate black people. Just admit it, you bigot!
Rubio's kids don't bore him stiff like Mitt does.
I think Rubio might have found out he isn't going to be VP after all. Good riddance. A good conservative but stuck with his "blood" too close. You need to be American first Rubio and put race aside.
Rubio puts Cubans to shame. Hey Rubio! Its not 1989, the Cold War is over, the Berlin Wall has crumbled. La Versalles is a hangout for retirees.
Why on earth do you support an embargo? We do a trillion dollars worth of business with China every year, put money in THEIR pockets, they are an enemy to the USA.
Cuba is a real estate gold mine and relations with the island has the power to transform Florida from a Medicare Fraud haven to a legitimate banking center for Latin America.
Its ok to have ideas and think freely, even if you are a Republican, they need an infusion of new ideas!!
Mitt "off shore your job" Romney is in Utah; no doubt taking orders from the Mormon leadership.
Rubio putito cubanito
So this is what being elected is about, promoting a book? Who's funding his tour to promote his book?
This guy needs to spend some time in the real world. Try using "I'm spending time with my kids" as an excuse when you have to run a business. His lack of of business experience makes him look as unqualiied as Obama did four years ago. It's a real weakness.
Good for Rubio. I am not sure how much of the hispanic culture he has imbibed. In any case, we can not go by vote bank politics. Rubio does not fit in Romney's group.
He doesn't own horses, which means he is unqualified to mix in Romney society.
First the book promo, then the kids.
Please, someone tell him that he'll have less control over his family time in D.C. Next stop, Governer Rubio.
Kids are better off away from the influence of this lying , corrupt sack of cuban manure.
Perhaps Marco realized the obvious - you can accomplish a lot more as a senator than as vice president - especially since modern vice presidents don't preside over the Senate as the Constitution specifically instructs them to do.
Cubanito knows he will not pass vetting. To start google Rubio Corruption.
Sell books, hide behind the kids.
Romney has snubbed him. Rubio isn't in the elite league of the rich and super rich. He doesn't own 5 houses, a parking garage with an elevator or dressage horses. If Romney is elected it will be ever more obvious that the Rich are the kings and the rest of us are the peasants. Clearly a snub to Rubio and the Latino people and tea partiers who have wooed Rubio.
Surprised to see a few negative comments about Rubio, who is as nice a guy as they come in DC. Guess it goes to show, on the Internet, you can find somebody to hate anybody!
"... i chose my children over retreat..."??
an un-seasoned remark. the better response would have been,
"unfortunately, i had already made plans with the children and i didn't want to disappoint them."
anon, u sound like an overtheedge liberal.
conservatives, republicans are not kool-aid drinkers. we believe in fairness and we never base it on which Party we belong to. we believe in fairness and truthfulness. we compliment rubio whenn we feel he deserves it and we lay into himn when he is not. we have not been conditioned as in many obamanites.

The Midwich Cuckoos (1957)
by John Wyndham
» 8 more
Folio Society (126)
Books Read in 2014 (1,299)
Horror to Read (82)
It's creepy, but not scary. It's told almost completely from a third-person viewpoint... i.e., although the narrator was "involved" in the events in some sense, he is always on the periphery and, so, the discussion takes on an intellectual flavor. I loved it though. Just right for listening on those days. (Review based on audio version, listened to at 1.5 speed)
Cuckoos in the nest. In the nest of humanity.
Cuckoos that are intelligent but without empathy, upsetting all human Mid-wichian ways. What to do? What to do with the cold dangerous opportunism, when you see yourself as emphatic, as bound by laws religious and non-religious to show compassion?
Most of the book is spent on showing us that we do not recognize the cuckoos in the humanitarian nest: We cannot believe they are all that bad: "I know when I was a child there were injustices which positively made me burn inside. If i had had the strength to do what I wanted to do it would have been dreadful, really dreadful, I assure you", says one of the village sweet old ladies when the cuckoo killed the first time, not grasping anything but the child-like innocent superficial look of the cuckoo. Or we see, but cannot do anything with what we see because: "Your more liberal, responsibly minded and religious people will be greatly troubled over the ethical position. Opposed to any form of drastic action at all, you will have your true idealist - and also your sham idealist: the quite large number of people who profess ideals as a premium for other-life-insurance, and are content to lay up slavery and destitution for their descendants so long as they are enabled to produce personal copybooks of elevated views at the gate of heaven", as put by the book´s invading Cuckoos themselves.
The book raises a difficult question: How do we defend humanity against opportunism? What to do with non-compassionate when humanity as a system is built on empathy?
Do we need to answer the question? Are there any life-threatening anti-humanitarian opportunism unfolding itself amongst us half-blind believing-ourselves-to-be-quite-emphatic mid-everything-beings? Who gains from the production of weapons? The inequality of the distribution of wealth? CO2 quotas? The ice melting? Will it enslave our children and children´s children to turn a blind eye towards it? Where does the opportunists´ opportunity come from? Has the mid-majority´s blindness, idealism - and sham idealism (which of course is opportunism in itself) anything to do with it? Lack of courage? Laziness? Selfishness?
By choosing aliens as cuckoos the questions asked is not bound in time or space, but more important, having aliens as cuckoos underline Wyndham´s point: few of us recognize the opportunism in ourselves, it is quite alien. The one that in fact acts in the end, is a philosopher; We cannot do anything with our anti-humanitarian ways until we know ourselves.
Great premise. Lackluster storytelling.
In John Wyndham's The Midwich Cuckoos, the residents of an English village experience an unusual alien invasion. One day all the people fall unconscious, and the next day they awaken, without any awareness of the event. The military intervenes but won't say why. A few weeks later, the women of the village discover they are inexplicably pregnant. To ward off panic, the village bonds together to keep the pregnancies a secret and to communally raise the children the best they can. The only problem is that the children are otherworldly: golden-eyed and identical, they have the ability to control other people's minds. Soon, the villagers are the captives of these children, whose purpose is the eventual conquering of the human race.
Wyndham sets up the story nicely with the discovery of the Day-out, the period in which the villagers fall unconscious. And he builds the suspense when the women discover they are pregnant. But after that, the story goes off the rails, primarily because of his method of storytelling.
The narrator is Richard Gayford, a relatively new resident of Midwich. Early in the book, he switches from telling his view of events to a more omniscient perspective, based on what he learns from other people. Overall, it doesn't work because so much of the story is told off-screen, as it were. Everything is told after the fact, so you don't get a sense of the immediacy of events. For all the talk about the capital-C Children, they don't show up much.
The predominant character in the book is Gordon Zellaby, an historian who loves to pontificate about the significance of the Children. Wyndham spends too much time on Zellaby's discourse so that the book becomes an academic analysis of the Children. It's such a detached perspective that the reader never really can empathize with the experience of the villagers.
Last year, I read Wyndham's The Day of the Triffids, which I definitely enjoyed. It had that sense of emotional connection that Midwich lacks.
Genre: Science Fiction
Rating: Very Good
Made into the movie Village of the Damned.
A small town of no known importance is suddenly blocked off from the rest of the world, and all its inhabitants are cut down. At first the authorities assume they are all dead. Instead they discover the people and animals and every living thing in Midwich is asleep. After 24 hours, everyone awakes and all appear to be fine.
But then it is discovered that every woman of child bearing age who has been hit by the DayOut is with child.
Very intriguing take on alien invasions. Quite different from the movie, of course.
" The important thing about the cuckoo is not how the egg
got into the nest, nor why that nest was chosen; the real
matter for concern comes after it has been hatched- what,
in fact, it will attempt to do next."
I find myself rather conflicted by The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham. The basic story was well thought out, very disconcerting and really spoke to the cold war fears that were prevalent at the time of his writing it, but unfortunately, the story is very dated and it was hard to accept the premise when one is constantly rolling ones eyes. Published in 1957, the story unfolds in the small town of Midwich where a weird phenomena happens whereby the entire village falls asleep for 24 house, and when they wake, every woman in the town who is of child-bearing years is pregnant.
For a story where so much of the drama involves women, the viewpoint is very male. Men try to figure out what happened. Men decide how this is going to be handled. Men make the birth arrangements and decide how these strange children are to be reared. The nominal leader of the women actually is told by her husband and the town doctor what to say and when to say it.
If there is any value in The Midwich Cuckoos today it is the fact that it is like a small time capsule giving us insight into people' mindset in 1957, the dominant role played by men, the important placed on survival of the species and their lack of scientific knowledge. My biggest negative was the endless blatherings on mankind's place in the universe, general philosophy and ethics. If there had been a little more action and a little less talk, this book may well have stood the test of time in a much better manner.

KNOXVILLE – University of Tennessee football coach Butch Jones faces a big question this week about his starting quarterback for Saturday night's game at South Carolina.
Will it be sophomore Josh Dobbs, whose impressive debut off the bench in last Saturday's 34-20 loss to No. 4-ranked Alabama gave UT a dual-threat QB?
Three Memphis law firms represented by MalmoMemphis Real Estate Inc. have renewed their office leases or leased new spaces.

"All I Ever Wanted" is a song by Swedish eurodance musician Basshunter. It is similar to his previous single "Now You're Gone" in that it is an English remake using music based on a previous Basshunter track, without any lyrical connection. All I Ever Wanteds music was taken from Pretty Rave Girl by DJ S3RL. The melody for "All I Ever Wanted" is largely a remixed version of "Daddy DJ", as is Basshunter's earlier song "Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA."[1]. The videoclip was recorded in Malaga, in southern Spain, featuring Aylar Lie and Lucas Thorheim

text: The Cameron Stewart wiki last edited by Billy Batson on 03/18/15 11:54PM View full history Stewart is best known for his work on Catwoman with writer Ed Brubaker or his work with Grant Morrison such as The Invisibles. Cameron Stewart is also responsible for the pencils on Batman and Robin issues #7-#9. The issues are loosely involved in the Blackest Night story arc for DC Comics and ties in more to the Return of Bruce Wayne story spearheaded by Grant Morrison.He lives in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, originally from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He is known more as an inker then a penciler. When he is "hired" as an inker it tends to be because of his ability to "fix problems" the penciler may have had with "flaws" with, such as his work on filler issues on Brian Azzarello's Hellblazer run, in which Giuseppe Camuncoli was young in the business at the time and needed a skilled inker.Cameron Stewart is a "professional" in every sense of the word. At a convention he displays his product for sale and those who are interested in purchasing take priority of his attention. Another example of "professional" behavior is that he does not like to be called "Cam". Cameron is what it best to call him or possibly "Mr. Stewart". Many of the Toronto based artist are friends and can confirm to never call Cameron Steward "Cam".Currently writes Batgirl and is working on the Fight Club sequel and the final Seaguy series.

1. Jae Crowder / forward / rookie / Marquette -- After a relatively uninspiring debut where he scored just nine points on 4-12 shooting, Crowder paced the Mavericks in the final four games, averaging 18.5 points per contest to end his summer with a 16.6 point per game mark. Crowder also averaged more than five rebounds a game. Crowder, the Mavericks third draft choice in this summer's NBA Draft (34th overall) signed a contract with the Mavericks last week.

Release by: Sunstate Design and Construct from their "Home Renovation" Tips and Tricks Blog
Imagine adding a deck in your house where you can relax with your family or have parties and dinners or even just using it as play area for kids. Would it be amazing to have one? It would surely bring lots of fun memories to share with your families. Luckily, there are different types of decks for you to choose from, they can be built from scratch or pre-built designs.
But before you decide what Brisbane deck to buy, be sure to check on the building regulations within your area. You also need to verify with your insurance company if the decks would be covered. And the most important thing you need to check is your bank balance!
Since there a lot of designs to choose from, it is important to choose the right materials for your Brisbane decks. You need to consider the space allotted for the deck, the type of weather in your area, and the cost of materials needed.
The different styles of Brisbane decks include Natural Stone Decks, Preserved Softwood decks, Hard Wood Decks, Timber Hybrid Decks, and Vinyl Decks. The Natural Stone Decks looks amazing. It is considered a tough and durable deck. But, these decks are quite expensive and can be difficult to transport. People who opt to have this kind of deck usually hires a paving company instead of the usual deck builder because of the stones to be used to build this. The Preserved Softwood Deck is perfect if the area is covered. Since it uses softwoods as its materials, proper care for the deck is needed to maintain its quality or problems would arise for the next several years. The Hardwood Deck on the other hand is more long lasting than the softwood deck. That is why it is more expensive than softwood decks. But, it gives out a luxurious look to your deck. Timber Hybrid Deck uses both plastic and wood fiber as materials. It maybe costly, but you will be assured that this deck would last long. You would barely notice that it uses plastic as materials. The Vinyl Decks is the most colourful decks available. It is so much like wood, but is not. And it may cost you little on your budget.
Sunstate Design & Construction have a large range of new softwood materials. Sunstate is the place to go if you intend to have the best Brisbane decks designed for your home. If you are looking for an experienced and passionate Brisbane Decking company then look no further.

Weak Jobs Report Puts Ball in Fed's Court
12:00 AM, Sep 8, 2012 • By IRWIN M. STELZER
These low interest rates drive investors to seek higher returns on their money by buying riskier assets such as shares and commodities, driving up prices and the profits of traders. But what is good for investors is not necessarily good for consumers. Oil and food are among the commodities that rise in price when the Fed eases, increasing the pressure on consumers' budgets.
Support for further easing is far from unanimous, even on the monetary policy committee. Those who feel the Fed has done enough argue that the economy is not in sufficiently bad shape to warrant another round of QE3—in effect, printing money—or any extraordinary measures to give the economy a shot in the arm. Consumers have been paying down debt and are stepping up spending. Homebuilders are complaining that they can't find enough skilled carpenters and plumbers, or workers with the skills required by the latest building technologies to keep up with the demand for new houses. And August auto sales increased by some 20 percent: the average car or truck on the road is now more than eleven years old, and the increased fuel efficiency of new vehicles makes it attractive to replace older ones now that gasoline prices are again on the rise.
Moreover, fear of a recession has receded. The Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development predicts that the American economy would grow at an annual rate of 2.3 percent this year. Since the first half rate was 1.7 percent, the OECD is guessing that the economy will chalk up something like a 3 percent growth rate in the second half of the year.
Perhaps best of all, Bernanke might finally get his wish that the politicians bury their hatchets—not in each other's backs—and cut a deal to avoid the year-end tax increases and spending cuts that would propel the economy over the fiscal cliff. The Bush tax cuts would be left in place, and spending reductions postponed for six months to give the new congress time to fashion a combination of spending cuts and tax increases that will bring the deficit under control.
Of course, wanting to do something to stimulate the economy and being able to do so are two different things. Interest rates are already in negative territory when inflation is taken into account, Bernanke can't do much to end the uncertainty that has businesses sitting on their cash piles, and he can't do anything to reduce "the headwinds" to America's recovery blowing over from Europe and China. But the odds are that he will use all the tools in his monetary kit to boost growth—and invent some new ones.

Many choices for golf
There's a few choices around Coffs. Bonville is the most expensive (by far) while Coffs is a 27 hole affair and the most popular.
Sawtell is quite a good course also, a little cheaper than the other two.
The most relaxed is Safety Beach where I often play. It's the cheapest and not the best of courses but it is challenging. If you want to see wallabies then this is a must-see venue - theyre everywhere!
- Eco-Tourism
- Seniors
- Golf
Learn how to surf
Surfing is one of the most popular activities in Coffs Harbour and it has a very active surf club and life saving facilities.
You would be advised to learn the how to's around the surf and always bathe between the flags on a patrolled beach.
Equipment: Of course you need swimming outfit, a towel, 30 plus bockout, shirt, hat, umbrella and you are just about ready. Knowing how to surf would be a handy skill to learn if you come from a country where the water doesn't wave (like some beaches in Italy). Learning how to recognise dumpers and rips might be handy.
If you go to a beach and discover that the flags are crossed....do not go in the water.
Still on the ocean waves
Coffs marina has limited berths but there's still quite a few yachts here. It's often used for people sailing between southern ports and the more warmer northern climates.
Equipment: When you're travelling across the bars in Australia, the law says you must wear a life jacket. It's surprising how many careless people have died ignoring this piece of advice.

- Luxury Travel
- Sailing and Boating
A life on the ocean waves
Fishing out off Arrawarra beach is a fairly popular activity. Fortunately for me I know a local and have occasional access to his boat. Having said that there are charters out of Coffs Harbour itself (enquire at the marina) so there's always a chance of getting offshore and wetting a line.
If you are in the Arrawarra area it's fairly easy, if you're sociable, to find someone who's got a boat and is looking for someone to take out. The natives are friendly in this area.
In pic one you can see my friend John pulling his boat out of the water, pic two shows us out fishing and three shows what you might catch out there.
Equipment: For most charters everything is supplied so it's just a matter of bringing yourself. A word of warning though, always take some waterproof warm clothing, just in case.

- Fishing
- Beaches
Coffs Harbour's Olympic Standard Pool
Coffs Harbour pool is of Olympic Standard and schools for miles around all congregate for combined competitions here.
Something that I find really interesting are the mosaics that decorate the outside walls. Just amazing.
Equipment: They have all of the equipment that you would expect to find.
- Theme Park Trips
- Adventure Travel
Fishing with a conscience.
We have pretty strict regulations in Australia relative to the type and size of the fish that we may keep having caught them. The other morning and in the space of a minute I guess, this young man started reeling in his catch, agreed to allow me to photograph and with smooth movement brought his catch ashore, and immediately (seeing its size and type), flicked it back to grow a little more.
Equipment: He was fishing off the north wall of the Coffs Harbour Jetty area not far from where a few days before, a small aircraft lost part of its undercarriage on its approach to the airport. Landed that safely too, by the way.
Netball is one of the favourite sports for girls.
I don't know how you would go about getting a casual game when you come to Coffs Harbour.......I will find out, however it is quite a good sport to watch if you prefer. I would prefer to play but it would be too fast for me now -- my adult offspring say Tai chi is definitely my sport now LOL.
- Eco-Tourism
- Adventure Travel
- Road Trip
Ice skating and snow boarding?
The ice-skating rink is reasonably new to Coffs although when my family was young there was a roller skating rink here........... I now have the pleasure of watching the eldest three of my grand-daughters learn ice-skating helped by my daughter................ they just love it.
Equipment: All of the equipment is available there but if you are an observer, like me, I suggest a cardigan at least even in summer. It gets cold just watching.
- Theme Park Trips
- Adventure Travel
Protection for the littlies at play
Children's playgrounds here are not much different to those in Italy I discovered. Some of ours offer a little bit of protection from the sun now-a-days, in the form of sails.
Equipment: You either need a child to enjoy this or a childlike nature.................whatever, give it a go.
Gone Fishing.
I don't go fishing myself but Coffs Harbour in the past may have been called a fishing village. Now that it is a city though, fishing is still something that happens a lot here. Many fish from the shore, either ocean or river, some go to sea and yet others choose to fish from the rocks or while diving. Many varieties of fish are caught here and there is quite a traffic in deep sea tuna (big business). There is a fishing club and a co-operative. I personally like the pelicans technique myself.............they wait until the fishing boats are returning and they settle alongside and wait patiently.
Equipment: Not being a fisherperson means that I am not up on what kind of equipment that you might bring with you when you come. I would think that it very much depends upon the type of fishing you hope to do and the kinds of fish you would like to catch. Having said all of that unhelpful stuff, I am sure that you would be able to get, buy or hire whatever you required while you are here.
Yachting all styles, types and sizes.
One family member has a catamaran and just loves being on the water. There's a general interest in water sports in Coffs Harbour and of course there is the annual Sydney to Coffs race that runs near the Sydney to Hobart time.
Learning to skate in Coffs Harbour.
Ice Skating is fairly new for Coffs Harbour, but roller skating had been popular in the past.
Equipment: Can be equipped at the rink.

November 27, 2015
Charleston, W.Va. (AP) -- North Dakota and Delaware have become the latest states where West Virginians with valid permits can carry concealed handguns.
Managing deputy attorney general Tom Smith says that brings the number of such states to 25 -- 22 of which have reciprocity agreements with West Virginia.
Three states automatically recognize West Virginia permits without such agreements.
Under reciprocity agreements, West Virginia also agrees to honor the other state's concealed weapons permits.
Smith says there are probably only three or four more states where future agreements are likely.
State police records show that about 60,000 West Virginians had concealed weapons permits in 2008.

Blake set for Flushing MeadowsComment on this story
Mason, Ohio - Australian Lleyton Hewitt, the 2001 champion, has been given a wildcard spot in this year's US Open at Flushing Meadows along with American James Blake, the United States Tennis Association announced on Tuesday.
Hewitt beat Wimbledon quarter-finalist Mikhail Youzhny 6-4, 6-4 at the Cincinnati Open on Monday, making a good switch to the hard court surface after some decent form on grass.
The 31-year-old pushed Novak Djokovic to three sets before losing at the London Olympics and in July he reached the final at Newport, Rhode Island, where he lost to American John Isner.
Blake, who has twice reached the quarter-finals at the US Open, is ranked 106th in the world but reached the last eight at the Washington Open earlier this month.
Two-time NCAA champion Steve Johnson of the US and Frenchman Guillaume Rufin also earned wild card berths into the main draw for the August 27 to September 9 US Open, which is the final gram slam tournament of the year. - Reuters

Unique chromosomes preserved in Swedish fossil
21 March 2014
Researchers from Lund University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History have made a unique discovery in a well-preserved fern that lived 180 million years ago. Both undestroyed cell nuclei and individual chromosomes have been found in the plant fossil, thanks to its sudden burial in a volcanic eruption.
The well-preserved fossil of a fern from the southern Swedish county of Skåne is now attracting attention in the research community. The plant lived around 180 million years ago, during the Jurassic period, when Skåne was a tropical region where the fauna was dominated by dinosaurs, and volcanoes were a common feature of the landscape. The fossilised fern has been studied using different microscopic techniques, X-rays and geochemical analysis. The examinations reveal that the plant was preserved instantaneously, before it had started to decompose. It was buried abruptly under a volcanic lava flow.
"The preservation happened so quickly that some cells have even been preserved during different stages of cell division", said Vivi Vajda, Professor of Geology at Lund University.
Thanks to the circumstances of the fern's sudden death, the sensitive components of the cells have been preserved. The researchers have found cell nuclei, cell membranes and even individual chromosomes. Such structures are extremely rare finds in fossils, observed Vivi Vajda.
"This naturally leads us to think that there must be more to discover. It isn't hard to imagine what else could be encapsulated in the lava flows at Korsaröd in Skåne", said Vivi Vajda.
Professor Vajda has carried out the study with two researchers from the Swedish Museum of Natural History, Benjamin Bomfleur and Stephen McLoughlin. The fern belonged to the family Osmundaceae, Royal Ferns. In modern times, royal ferns grow in the wild in Sweden and are also a common garden plant. Living representatives of this family are very similar in appearance to the Jurassic fossil, which suggests that only limited evolutionary change has taken place over the millennia. By comparing the size of the cell nuclei in the fossilised plant with its living relatives, the researchers have been able to show that the royal ferns have outstanding evolutionary stability.
"Royal Ferns look essentially the same now as they did during the Jurassic Period, and are therefore an excellent example of what we call a living fossil", said Vivi Vajda.
Professor Vajda has also dated the rocks surrounding the fossil by studying pollen and spores preserved in these rocks. Their analysis revealed that the lava flows are around 180 million years old, from the early Jurassic Period. These results have considerably refined previous radiometric dating conducted on nearby volcano cones. In addition, the research study shows that spores from royal ferns, as well as pollen from coniferous trees, including cypress and cycad, are found in large quantities in the volcanic rock. This is evidence of varied vegetation and a hot, humid climate at the time when the area was engulfed by a disastrous volcanic eruption.
The unique fern fossil was collected in the 1960s, near Korsaröd in central Skåne, by farmer Gustav Andersson who donated the fossil to the Swedish Museum of Natural History. The fossil remained forgotten in the museum's collections for over 40 years before it came to the attention of the researchers. The research findings have now been published in the latest issue of the journal Science.

Could the Win32 package builders also provide install packages for the Pyhton and Perl bindings :)
I'd suggest separate packages for Python and Perl, and separate to the main win32 binary, so that users only need to install what they want.
Thanks, Brendan.

Re: Bankruptcy FAQs
In Reply to Katie 22001
I'm glad that you are able to start out fresh and obtain a loan. It's different in each state and with each individual case. What was done to me may not be done to another; and that is all I am referring to. If you're working that is a big plus.
Don't get me wrong here...I appreciate the fact that you allowed me to see another side and how you can rise up from the so call bankruptcy flames like a phoenix.
I wish you good luck.

Past Tense vs timeline
I would like to know everybody's view on the timeline changes that occurred in this two-parter. Here I don't mean the actual temporal mechanics, as those were already explained by Christopher.
Now, the story is quite straightforward
Sisko and co. arrive in the past -> there is a muck up and Bell dies -> timeline leads to a devastated Earth -> Sisko and Dax save the day -> everybody goes home aka Happy ending
So it would appear that there are 3 timelines:
Timeline A - original timeline: Bell saves the day
Timeline B - destroyed timeline: Bell dead, Earth destroyed, Romulans at Alpha Centauri
Timeline C - corrected timeline: Sisko saves the day, pretty much like the original one
But here is the problem: we as objective, external observers have seen that as Bell is killed Timeline B is created. BUT lets look on who corrects the timeline, is it Kira and O'Brian? No, the same 3 people who were still in the past correct the timeline by themselves.
Do you see the problem? If the same people who make the mistake and created a different timeline repair it still in the past, why was a different timeline created to begin with?
Let me modify The City on the Edge of Forever to follow in the same lines as Past Tense:
On Gateway/Time planet Kirk and co see McCoy jump into the portal. they are then unable to contact Enterprise so they follow McCoy into the past.
In the past McCoy saves Keeler, lives with her for some days and is inadvertently saved by her.
As she is dying McCoy is reunited with Kirk and Spock, who arrived in the past just some minutes ago.
All three return to the future.
You see my point? :confused:
Now I think there are 2 possibilities:
There are only 2 timelines:
Timeline Alpha - original timeline
Timeline Beta - timeline with the predestination paradox
I believe that this set-up would still follow Christopher's temporal rules.
Here in Timeline Alpha is the one where Bell is alive, but as he would not have the right contacts to media would in the end effect lead to the same future shown in Timeline B.
Timeline Beta: Bell's death forces Sisko to take his place and actually lead the Bell Riots to a favorable end, WWIII and UFP.
The problem here is that Sisko studied the history. He ought to have stumbled over the Bell/Sisko picture, therefore he should have been forewarned, BUT he was not. :shrug:
Here the 2. time-travelers actually correct the timeline.
The 3 timelines set-up is correct, but it is not Bell's death that creates Timeline B, but it is Sisko, Bashir and Dax living in the 21st century post-Bell Riots.
I don't know what changes they could make: Dex not keeping shut to the media; discovering that "Bell" is still alive could put him on trial and roll back the better conditions introduced post-Riots...
Well, what do you think?

The prophets made it all okay!
Re: Past Tense vs timeline
Re: Past Tense vs timeline
Re: Past Tense vs timeline
In Star Trek time travel rules, the moment you travel to the past you are invulnerable to the effects you have on the past.
Now, that doesn't explain why the future was ruined while they were in the past.
Re: Past Tense vs timeline
The Defiant was "protected" from the changes though, so is it really that unreasonable to believe that they were able to observe the malleable future being reshaped? Think of it like Back to the Future, where things still happen in real-time, regardless of the time travel.
Re: Past Tense vs timeline
Maybe Sisko was always supposed to be Bell.
IIRC, the only time we ever see the 'real' Bell is during the 2024 scenes. Nobody in the present (24th century) ever looks at his picture until the episode is all over.
So for all we know, it's a predestination paradox - Sisko was always supposed to go back and become Bell. If anyone had looked up his data entry even before the episode took place, they'd still have seen Sisko.

Re: Past Tense vs timeline
^ The point is, there's no evidence for or against it (nor is there any for/against any other suggestion in this thread), so every POV is equally valid.

Re: Past Tense vs timeline
Any time that I watch a TV show/ movie about time travel, I usually just go by this advice.

This attractive table made in India was one of the two items from my mother-in-laws collection. She is the namesake of our company, her name was Diane. This is one of those items she picked up while in India.
The pictures will show all the intricate amount of detail that was hand carved into these pieces of furniture, often floral or animal motifs. This table's motif is floral and oak leaf designs. These were also known as occasional tables.
The table top is made to attach to the folding decorative stand and it is approximately 12 to 13 inches across the center has a unique floral inlay design usually of bone or polished stone.
The stand has three highly decorative legs of lovely oak leaves and some floral mix and stands approximately 13 inches high. The widest areas of these ornate legs are 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 inches wide.
There are a just a few scratches on the table top sides and the top is a little darker in some places than the stand. There are also three pieces of inlay missing, but the set is otherwise in near perfect condition.
This table dates back to the early 1900's, possibly before 1930 as did her other table which had similar oak leaf designs.
Please enjoy the pictures and we welcome any comments or questions. All reasonable offers will be considered.
Thank you for visiting our shop.

Dandy Week 11 broadcast maps: CBS says SD-Pitt week's top game???
Cold, Hard Football Facts for Nov 13, 2008
These nifty NFL broadcast maps are provided each week courtesy of the fine folks at the506.com. The maps offer some cool collages highlighting what Pigskin America is watching each Sunday.
The maps also provide some insight into the NFL, the hot teams, the psyche of fans and the goals of the big pro football broadcasters.
The Ravens-Giants showdown, an inter-conference battle of two likely playoff teams, draws top billing in the early CBS slot, but only the network's No. 2 tandem of Gumbel-Dierdorf.
An intriguing Denver-Atlanta showdown, featuring two of the most promising young QBs in the league (Jay Cutler, Matt Ryan), draws widespread distribution across the Southeast and a wide stretch of the middle of the country that bears an uncanny resemblance to the Louisiana Purchase. Seriously, look for yourself.
This is kind of interesting: the undefeated Titans have a divisional battle against the (admittedly disappointing) Jaguars. Yet CBS gives top billing to San Diego-Pittsburgh, with the network's top crew of Nantz-Simms and distribution across about three quarters of the country.
Seems a little curious. After all, the Chargers have been just as disappointing as the Jaguars, while the Titans are clearly a bigger story at this point in the season than Pittsburgh. If anything, the top crew should be working the Ravens-Giants battle. But what do we know. We just work here.
With the Cowboys playing Sunday in primetime on NBC, Fox's No. 1 crew of Buck-Aikman, who typically call Dallas games, find themselves in Green Bay to watch the Gale Sayers-Dick Butkus Bears battle the Bart Starr-Ray Nitschke Packers. (Hey, we can dream can't we?)
The 175th meeting of these two old-school rivals (it's the most played series in the NFL) gets scattered coverage in different parts of the country, from the tip of Maine to the Tijuana border.
The network's other intriguing game, the Vikings-Bucs battle that will impact the NFC playoff race, gets only regional coverage.

Support Fund raised over €27,000 and fuel is now regularly being delivered to schools, clinics and nursing homes ...
On Thursday 21st March 2013, sat before steaming cups of coffee and humming computers, the Skyros team sent out a newsletter announcing the new Skyros Island Support Fund – a charitable fundraising initiative with the specific aim of raising €20,000 for heating Skyros island's schools, clinic and nursing home during the winter of 2013 / 2014. This was established due to lack of funds as Greek government subsidies for the purpose had dried up.
Due to your generosity, we were delighted to announce that we, not only reached our target, but surpassed it too. The total raised was €27,018.41! We were delighted to confirm that on Monday the 11th of November 2013, the first instalment of fuel was delivered to the five schools on the island. This includes the nurseries and the primary and secondary schools. This cost a total of €5.090,40, leaving the fund still with €21,928.01. The next fuel delivery was January 2014 and fuel has ever since been regularly delivered.
Fuel for the nursing home and clinic was delivered soon after and then essential supplies worth over €10,000 for the local hospital. Since, we have been working closely with the local community to ensure that all funds raised go directly to where they are needed most, and that prices obtained ensure the funds go as far as possible.
Overwhelmed (in a good way) with your response, we would like to to say a massive efharistó (thank you) to everyone who contributed. You have truly helped make a difference for so many islanders over the past winters and our fingers are crossed for another life changing season for the Skyrians, 2015.

I went at 8 weeks, my daughter looked like a little kidney bean on the sono lol but you could see her little heart pumping *melted my heart*
At 4 weeks, there wouldn't be much there. They might measure the sac.
I had my first abdominal ultrasound this time at 5 weeks, could see the sac but no heartbeat just yet. I had an ectopic last year, which they sadly didn't find until 6w2d and that was a vaginal sonogram, by then you could already see the little heartbeat, but in both cases it was just a little circle. Good luck momma!

Hey, I'm Chris!
Hi, i am Chris, 21, from Hamburg, Germany. Im a man of sports, especially swimming, biking and running. This is what occupies most of my time. The rest of my days i like to spend with good food, clothing and of course as a student ambitiously studying. Good food to me is food that healthy, made with love and comes from natural sources. But im also ready to taste pretty much everything interesting that provides new and interesting tastes.
I don't like to dress too trendy or fashionable, im more of a square when it comes to clothing and love well made shirts, nice suits and traditional shoes.
My main occupation is being a student of "Brand Management", a topic i really like, despite the boring, marketing-guy image. I really really like awesome brands.
When it comes to traveling my gorgeous girlfriend is the boss. She kind of traveled the whole world already and is an expert on international shopping.
We are a couple for more than three and a half years now and are still glued together! She studies fashion design in her second year right now and everything you can cover a human body with is to her what sports are to me.
Due to severe influences by Pikachu, Son Goku and Inuyasha in her early an late childhood she has a strong affiliation to the japanese fashion culture in total, but especially to the Harajuku street fashion. She is also learning japanese!
