How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
The human cost of the Greek financial crisis
27 Mar 2010 16:52 GMT
A joint chief of staff spokesman said that 58 people had been saved.
Military divers scoured the waters where the Cheonan went down in search of the missing marines, officials said on Saturday, as families' grief gave way to anger.
Divers tried twice to get to the wreckage, Rear Admiral Lee Ki-sik of the joint chiefs of staff told legislators.
Investigating causes
South Korea's government called an emergency security meeting on Friday to investigate the incident.

"For now, it is not certain whether North Korea is related" to the incident, Kim Eun-Hye, the presidential spokeswoman, said.
He said Lee Myung-Bak, the president, had ordered maximum efforts to rescue the crew men.
"Finding the truth [behind the incident] is important, but saving our sailors is more important," Lee was quoted as saying.
A government source quoted by the South's Yonhap news agency said officials were investigating various possible causes: an attack by a North Korean torpedo boat, a mine laid by North Korea or an explosion of munitions aboard the ship.
South Korean YTN television, quoting an unidentified presidential official, said the ship was well south of the border and North Korean ships were unlikely to be in the area.
A military source told the agency the Cheonan was holed in the stern near its propeller.War 'unlikely'
The joint chief of staff spokesman said there were no abnormal military movements on the North Korean side of the disputed maritime border, which was the scene of deadly naval clashes in 1999 and 2002.Paul Chamberlin, a former US naval attache to South Korea, told Al Jazeera: "If it becomes clear this was an attack from North Korea, a major escalation that would lead to general war is very unlikely." In November the navies of the two sides exchanged fire in the area. The South's officials said a North Korean patrol boat had retreated in flames but it was not known if there were any casualties. No South Koreans were hurt.
The North refuses to accept the maritime border known as the Northern Limit Line, which was drawn up by UN forces after the 1950-53 Korean war. It says the line should run further to the south.
In January, the North fired 370 artillery shells into the sea near the border, raising tensions between the two sides.

Nope!! You atheist should remember. There's only one thing God has to have in order to be God. Power!
And you atheist also forget…There is no definition of good or evil in relationship to God, there's only God and God can do anything he damn well wants to do. God tells us what pleases him and that becomes the definition of good. And that definition of good only applies to us, not God.

Yes, he said. Do think it was demolitions that took down the WTC building and not 2 passenger jets? Yes, he said. Do you think we landed on the Moon? No way, he said. Do you believe in God? He said nope. Rush then said something I'll always remember….A person who doesn't believe in God will believe in anything.

Back in the late 90′s and early 2000′s, I was single and worked what is called a "continious shift". 7 am – 7 pm. – - 2 on..2 off..3 on..2 off..2 on 3 off.
Anyway…I'd log on to Art's website or some site that had his archived shows. I'd start one of his shows, and I think it was Real Player back in those days that played his show. Once his show started playing, I'd lay on the couch, and BOOM…next thing I knew it was 1 or 2 am. I moved to my bed and slept till my alarm went off at 6 am. His show was my a sleeping pill. I always liked listening.
I found a TON of his old shows using Bit Torrent and have them stored away on a external hard drive. A few times, and for old times sake, I'd pick out a few of his shows and let them play all night. I'd adjust the volumn so they can just barely be heard in our bedroom. But, no more beginning the night on the couch. My wife wouldn't allow it. Now, she doesn't want Art Bell playing all through the night either.

$$$$ the earth is almost 6,000 years old. Do not conceed. I think if you spend enough time doing investigative study, weighing both sides of the argument, you will come to the same conclusion. $$$$
You only have 2 choices. God tricked us by giving the Earth the appearance it's much older then 6,000 years, or it is. And you still didn't explain how " In the beginning" equates only 6,000 years. And the reason is, you can't.
Adam and Eve were told to go and "replenish" the Earth. You can only replenish after the Earth been plenished, then unplenished…then you replenished.
$$$$ Study the rings of Saturn, the moons of Jupiter, magnetic fields of the planets in our own solar system and short cycle comets, and get back to us please… no disrespect intended $$$$
Don't be so vague. Explain how that makes the Earth only 6,000 years old?

If there's life on elsewhere…where? Mars? Jupiter? Where? All I hear and see is wishful thinking. Where's the evidence? There's bound to be something since it has to be true. Until you can show something tangible, then you are only presenting a faith premise.

OK…when's the beginning? 1 billion…10 billion? How do the monkey spankers get 6,000 years out of this? I have no trouble at all with the Earth being 100 billion years old and there's no one…no atheist or Christian who can prove it couldn't be that old…or even older. Nobody know…Nobody.

Aillwee Cave
Aillwee Cave is a place I did not enjoy at all, but of course I know lots of people who enjoyed that place a lot ! I dont like it simply because they make a lot of advertisment and all over Ireland you will get their brochures and when you are finally there, you just may walk inside a cave and see places, where obviously bears hibernated a long time ago. And around that simple fact they constructed a gigantic program, light-effects in the cave etc.
In the underground of all of the Burren there are several caves, BUT Aillwee Cave is the only one that you may enter :
Aillwee Cave is open for visitors daily
all year long after 09.30a.m.
entrance-fee is 10 Euros / children : 5 Euros !
see their web-page : www.aillweecave.ie
Unique Suggestions: At least I think that Aillwee Cave is a good place to take a rest, use the toilettes, park your car on a large parking, cook a meal inside your motorhome or go to the tea-room of the cave...
Fun Alternatives: Go Hiking as much as possible through the beautiful and interesting landscape of the closeby Burren - BUT Aillwee Cave DOES NOT show at any place, what the Burren looks like 1-2 meters beneath the surface - THAT would really be interesting to see with all the small gorges and gaps, where the different exotic plants start to grow out...Related to:

Tourist Trap of all Tourist Traps, Mideval Banquet
Well this was my third trip to Ireland so it was time to take a dive for the #1 Tourist Trap of all Tourist Traps...Bunratty castle and the Mideval Banquet, the night before our flight out of Shannon. I think ours was tough to take because it was off season and we had a bare-bones crew. The silliness got to me with the performance and I would have much rather preffered to hear more of the lovely voices of the singers . They shuffled us in and out and about like cattle, so if you do not like close crowds....beware. Also, some folk do get a bit rude and rowdy from drunkeness (the meade drink of honey and wine).
Unique Suggestions: I will say it was kinda of fun which I am almost embarrassed to say....but I could have done without this experience. And the cost was not quite worth it. The food was okay but uncomfortable and I know that was supposed to be part of the charm ( we ate with our hands and a knife only).
I did enjoy the decorations and authenticateness of the Tudor Style furnishings.
Fun Alternatives: The Bunratty Folk Park alone was a nice time.....historical and interesting. But leave the Banquet alone, unless there is nothing else to do. I think next time I would take refuge in an out of the way pub with some original local folk.Related to:

unusual traffic jams where you are stuck >>>
ANYWHERE on a rural route actually ---- the danger looms in form of wooly things with legs and rather little brains... they attack in groups, blocking roads and sometimes settling in for a good natter baa-baa-baaa and a snooze on the tarmac....and THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO!
3 major road blockers are:
1) SHEEP (wooly things with 4 legs making baa-baa - about knee-high)
2) COWS ( tall fellas with sorta big butts - come in all colours, have horns)
3) HORSES (stubborn a** long 4 legs, hufs and short fur mostly bog-colored)
> see pictures below for proper identification ;)
Unique Suggestions: > DO relax and take deep breaths
> Try not to use abusive language (it'll help ya nothing)
> DO NOT venture out cause you might be nipped in the butt or kicked by the ram (alpha-male of the sheep herd) outch
Fun Alternatives: > Sit still, take out the lunch pack and watch the lovely surroundings
> if ya have some old bread throw it out the window - ideally in a ditch, that might help them get off the road
> take out the rosary - so you could and keep praying, it might help - ah go on!

Not a real Irish Pub!
The Temple Bar Pub in the heart of the Temple Bar district of Dublin caters mostly for tourists. The bar has traditional Irish music and serves Guinness. That's about all there is to this place! Yes it tries very hard to recreate what tourists want, but it fails as there is just no ambience in the place at all. It's noisy and crowded most of the time.
Unique Suggestions: That's not to say it's a bad place, quite the contrary, it may be just what you are looking for..But don't expect to be rubbing shoulders with men talking in broad Dublin Accents, you will more than likely hear the sound of an American, or German accent next to you.
Fun Alternatives: Look a little further away from the city centre if you want to find a true to life Irish pub.Related to:

Killarney blarney
The town of Killarney is a major tourist center as it's usually the base for touring around the scenic Ring of Kerry, a drive round the Kerry peninsula which is also a bit of a tourist trap in that in the summer, the traffic around the ring is just one tour bus after the next. Killarney is just to mundane for me, all hotels and tourist shops.
Unique Suggestions: There is a nice big natural park there but ther's also the jaunting cars, carts and horses that take the tourists around it as well. We did go on one as we had been in the bus all day round the Ring of Kerry and it was nice to get the fresh air but, well, it's not anything to write home about.
Fun Alternatives: We stayed in Tralee which isn't that far from the Ring of Kerry on the northern entrance, crossing the Shannon on a car ferry and then driving up into the mountains.
A nicer and less bussed route is the Dingle peninsula, just north of the Ring of Kerry, equally spectactular coastal scenes.
the word "Leprechaun" means "little people" who were shoe makers or cobblers. The origins are hazy but one theory goes that when the tall, dark, warlike and aggressive Celts invaded, the natives were small, peaceful folk who lived in ring forts which probably became the fairy rings of legend. These people seemed to disappear at will through perhaps they just fled the intimidating invaders. The cute little leprechauns we see were invented for the English tourists and it just got out of hand. Now they are out of fashion and considered tacky. I agree. Ireland to me is not the cartoon pot of gold and frisky, naughty little men in green coats. It's a place of Celtic origins, of shamrocks and a people who are easy going, traditional and open and friendly. And the beer ain't bad either!
Shop the Blarney Stone
After seeing a number of castles this was just one more on the list. The kissing the stone part was all touristy but fun for those who participated. It could be missed. While the castle was interesting - I'm sure there are other more impressive ones to find.
Unique Suggestions: The best part of the stop was the Blarney Woolen Mills store. Great selection of all things Irish. Kind of a one stop Ireland buying spot. Get it all over with at once. Looked like good quality and prices seemed fair.
Fun Alternatives: If you're traveling in the area (to or from Kerry) it's an OK stop if you want to get your Irish shopping done. I'm not a shopper - I just wanted to get it over with and this put everything Irish under one roof. Skip the castle and do the Woolen Mill if shopping is on your agenda.Related to:
- Road Trip
Kissing the Blarney Stone
Blarney Castle was not on my list of "must sees", but when you travel, you have to make some compromises. The Blarney Stone is located at the top of the castle and a man is there to help lower you backwards so you can acquire the "gift of gab" You are allowed to take pictures of your friends bending backwards from a not so great angle ,but there is a photographer who snaps pictures from an excellent view. If you desire to purchase this picture, it is 7 Euros. You can also buy a small certificate with your name on it verifying that you have indeed kissed the stone for 2.50 Euros.
There are the rumours that I am sure most people have heard about what locals do to the stone. Although I doubt these stories are true, I didn't feel like slobbering on it.
Unique Suggestions: I wouldn't visit here during high season when there are crowds of people from the tour buses climbing the narrow steps and then waiting in line to kiss the stone. In December, there weren't any lines at all.
Fun Alternatives: If you are with people who insist that they can't visit Ireland without kissing the Blarney Stone , you can of course, visit the castle with them(it is worth checking out) and snap their pictures for them. You can also take a stroll around the grounds which have pretty winding paths with a stream ,bridges and a rocky glen. It is a pretty place.Related to:
- Castles and Palaces
Burial chambers from the 4.000 BC. There is a guided tour: you will take a bus from the information center of Newgrange to visit the 2 tumbs which are currently openned to the public. You will need an hour for each tumb and more time to visit the exibition
Hill of Tara
In the V century ther was a custom in Ireland. One night the king lighted a candle when everything was dark. But one night in 432 there was a candle lighted in Slane Hill and the king who was in Tara Hill got angry. He sent soldiers to bring the man who lighted the candle before him.
It was St Patrick. And St Patrick explained the king and his soldiers about the Cristian faith and all of them converted.
This is (more or less) the begining of the Catholicsm in Ireland
Unique Suggestions: There is an exibition and a film with explanations in the information center in the Hill of Tara.
It is located about 40 miles north of Dublin.
To get there: take the bus in Busaras (Dublin) to Navan.
Be warned.....
They say that there is no one as irish as O'Bama !
And it is true...new research has traced Mr Obama's maternal family tree back to his great-great-great-great grandfather Joseph Kearney, a cobbler from Moneygall, County Offaly (1794 to 1861).
An invite from the county for the president elect to visit has already been condemned in the Irish press and a grubby money-making and opportunistic venture.
I rather hope it actually happens, although I guess other countries have better claims on his ancestry - after all, we are all connected to each other within six degrees of seperation !
Kiss the Blarney Stone?
Blarney is the ultimate touristy thing in Ireland. It's a must do for any first trip to Ireland, but if (ok, when) I make a second trip, I'll likely avoid it. It was very crowded, and, frankly, I was a little grossed out after kissing the Stone, because everyone else was kissing it too...but that's just me.
I spent the most time in Blarney at the various shops, and there are lots of them. It is the best tourist shopping that I saw in Ireland.
I'm glad I visited Blarney and it's definitely worth doing, but I spent a little too much time there. I wish I'd left a little earlier, and saw more things
Unique Suggestions: What I liked best about Blarney Castle was the views-you can see all over from the top of the castle, and will get great pictures. Plus, I could probably see my grandmother's birthplace somewhere off in the distance!Related to:

Ireland is one big tourist trap in Spring/Summer. Go in the offseason.
Unique Suggestions: Best time to go to Ireland is October/November. Half of America goes to Ireland in the Spring/Summer. I've been to Ireland a half dozen times. Always in October/November. Once in February. No tourists anywhere for the most part. Not to mention everything is cheaper _ airfare, hotels, car rental. Dublin, Killarney, Blarney are all palatable in the offseason. You might give up something with the weather but as I always say a damp day in Ireland is better than a sunny day most places!Related to:

Day Tours Unplugged - unhappy experience
If you are thinking of taking a day tour to the Wicklow Mountains from Dublin be aware that your day may not go according to plan. I had prebooked a tour on the internet and received confirmation of the date and pick up time. I chose this particular company because of their good reviews and because the hotel we were staying in was a designated pick up point.
Sadly, I was not able to provide a review of any sort because THEY DID NOT PICK US UP!!!!
After waiting for over half an hour to be collected, and seeing a bus drive past and not stop, I rang Day Tours Unplugged to find out what the hold up was. There was no hold up.... they just drove past us...without stopping...even though our names and the correct collection hotel were on their list.
After a bit of a half hearted apology, an offer was made to take us the next day, but we were flying to London so this was not possible. They said they would refund our money...and so they should, but no other help or suggestions were given to solve our dilemma, and I found them to be most unhelpful considering the problem was their fault.
Hopefully this is not a common occurrence but we were most disappointed at not seeing the Wicklow Mountains and Glendalough. I expected more assistance from Day Tours Unplugged and could not recommend them to anyone. There are a number of other companies doing this same trip so check them out.
Unique Suggestions: We caught a taxi into O'Connell Street and the ladies in the tourist centre were most helpful and very apologetic. They organised a spot on a trip with Dublin Tours at very short notice and although we did not get to our preferred destination, we still managed to see some of the South Coast.

The latest addition to our Reviews Section is a piece by Erin O'Rourke on Leïla Marouane's The Sexual Life of an Islamist in Paris, which was translated from the French by Alison Anderson and published by Europa Editions earlier this year.
Erin O'Rourke has been interning with us all summer, reading a lot of the Italian books that were passed along thanks to our recent visit to the Torino International Book Fair. In her own words, she is an aspiring crazy cat lady, and is currently on a plane to San Francisco. (These two statements are unrelated. Maybe.)
She like the book quite a bit, and it does sound really interesting:
In four novels and a collection of short stories, Leïla Marouane has become a voice for the Algerian women's rights movement, exploring themes of marriage, sex, and identity in the context of the religious and cultural divide of the Maghreb/Western Europe region. She fearlessly takes on the taboo, as her skill with comedy renders even the most troubling political or religious issues accessible. Born in Algeria in 1960, Marouane escaped persecution towards her writing by moving to Paris in 1990. This is her second novel to be translated into English, following The Abductor, which was published by Quartet Books in the UK almost a decade ago.
With The Sexual Life of an Islamist in Paris—vividly translated by Alison Anderson—Marouane skillfully constructs a light, comedic plot behind which hides a dizzying maze of questions that, like an Escher staircase, form an endless loop. The story starts out as a comedy of errors starring Mohamed Ben Mokhtar, an Algerian immigrant living in a Paris suburb who is also a forty-year-old virgin. Once a devout Muslim, Mohamed has left the faith and decided to free himself from his oppressively devoted mother by moving to Paris and Westernizing himself. He changes his name to Basile Tocquard, lightens his skin and straightens his hair, and sets out to become a famous poet and seduce as many blonde women as he possibly can. The results are hilarious, as in this great passage in which Mohamed naively plans out his new apartment:

Mushroomhead- Your Demise Lyrics
Mushroomhead- Your Demise Lyrics
Let your promises deflate,
As your children grow irate with life,
here inside (here inside).
Say goodbye (say goodbye).
In time you'll have to face up to this
dying human race machine you prize,
Your Demise…
Is such the pill to swallow
echoed, your words ring hollow, still
You muster up some more lies
so hard to realize your fate
through swollen, twisted, blinding eyes
pushing the taste of you and I
through every hole
Twist back your whole tomorrow
Can't count the daze inside the vein
that steel is crippling you now
tomorrow you won't know your name
break down and burn for all your worth
in time to finish your last word
in time you'll have to face up to this
dying human race machine you prize
Your Demise

Express Adda: Near 70, he still gets mobbed

There was electric anticipation before the start. And warmth, laughter and the glow that comes from sparkling talk during the Express Adda on Friday where cinema's iconic superstar Amitabh Bachchan was in conversation with Shekhar Gupta, Editor-in-Chief, The Express Group. No, you couldn't call it Bollywood, because Amitabh dislikes the term. As well as that other dreaded word: 'filmi'.
"If I were a filmi guy, I wouldn't be sitting here," he said, to much merriment. By then the chat was well on its way, and the consummate actor and beloved star had the audience eating out of his hand.
'Filmi' he isn't, even if he is the biggest 'filmi guy' that's graced the Adda. When Amitabh is holding forth, the conversation can range easily and knowledgeably and urbanely from politics to the girl child to the impact of television on society to poetry. And, of course, the movies.
Amitabh Bachchan, who will turn 70 in a few days, occupies a pole position in Hindi cinema. His contemporaries have either fallen by the wayside or have given in to the vagaries of ageing. Actors who started much after him are floundering because they haven't bothered to keep pace with trends and technology. Amitabh, on the other hand, is on the top of his game.
He is listening to narrations which put him centrestage. Roles are still being written for him. Younger directors are still queueing up to cast him. His turnaround of a TV channel with the first season of a gameshow is the stuff of legends: now 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' is in its sixth season and on a different channel, but its appeal is only mounting. More than the crores, the fact that the contestant gets the chance to share space with Amitabh, keeps them flocking, and the TRPs skyrocketing. The numbers of his endorsements keep rising. He is an active blogger. He tweets. And now he's on Facebook with a fanpage that's bursting.

At one point in history, Ice Cube was a scary ass gangsta rapper who would probably shoot you in the face if you looked at him the wrong way.Ā Now though, he stars in moviesĀthat involve him getting in whacky antics with children on long car rides and crap.Ā It's a major step down in the toughness department.
Maybe this explainsĀwhy Ice felt the need to be such a dick and take the MTV Movie Awards way too seriously this past weekend.Ā But I gotta say, puffing up your chest aboutĀlosing an award fromĀa show where the highlight was Zac Efron taking his shirt off doesn'tĀexactly scream "hard" to me.
So I didn't even realize the MTV Movie Awards were still a thing, let alone that people still cared so much about it.Ā Ice Cube is one of those people still stuck a bit in 2000, and made it known he really wanted to win "Best Screen Duo" with Kevin Hart for their movie Ride Along.ĀHe sent out this Tweet while on his way to the show-
On my way to the MTV movie awards. If me and Kevin Hart don't win. The fix is in.
— Ice Cube (@icecube) April 13, 2014
Aren't all award shows fixed?Ā Shit, I think even anything entitled "People's/Fan's/Internet Troll Favorite" is still predetermined by some old white dude in a suit.
Anywho, since Ice didn't get the memo that its 99% a guarantee that if an actor dies, they posthumously win all the awards they are nominated for,Āhe was really hoping forĀa golden statue of stale ass theater popcorn for his mansion. And when that not shockingly didn't happen for him and the award went to the late Paul Walker and Vin Diesel, he got pissed off.Ā He left and quickly started bitching to USA TODAY, who oh so nicely filled us in on what he had to say.
We was robbed.Ā Shame on you MTV. We had the best chemistry of everybody nominated, for us not to win was crazy. We were the best onscreen duo, period.
When it was pointed out that maaaaaybe he legitimately just lost to Walker, Ice Cube called bullshit and said it was obviously a sympathy vote because homeboy is now rocking with Jesus.
They should have gave it to him before he passed away.
As to why Ice left early, there were conflicting reports as to why.Ā Some say it was because his tightie whities were so firmly stuck up his ass that it was unbearable.Ā Others say it was so he could watch the Laker's game at home.Ā Ice himself claims it was because the shit he was there for was no longer going to be on television, so why waste precious hours of his life having to watchĀ fellow C-listers get drunk and pretend to care?
Of course, after this went public a bunch of people took the internet to really give Cube a piece of their mind and let him know how cold his soul really is. Then the backtracking began.
Re: The MTV Awards. I wasn't really mad we didn't win. So I would never diss the actors who won. Not even Paul Walker. Seriously people!
— Ice Cube (@icecube) April 15, 2014
Re: Leaving early from the MTV Awards. They told me our catagory wasn't gonna be televised. So I left. Just promoting that RIDE ALONG DVD.
— Ice Cube (@icecube) April 15, 2014
Re: The sympathy vote: We should honor people before they die. That's all. Shame on you "make something out of nothing" ass reporters. Smh
— Ice Cube (@icecube) April 15, 2014
Re: MTV Awards. Ice Cube is not a sore loser. I was born losing. This winning shit is what I gotta get use to.
— Ice Cube (@icecube) April 15, 2014
Last tweet and I'mma leave it alone. Remember this: A lie travels further then the truth. Damn the devil is busy.
— Ice Cube (@icecube) April 15, 2014
So I guess Ice is saying his words were misconstrued?Ā Or that it was a joke?Ā For something to be a joke, shouldn't it be funny somehow?Ā Either way, this brought Ice Cube absolutely no street cred back.Ā At this point, I am pretty sure he and Ice T are just a few years shy of costarring on some shitty show on Lifetime or Oxygen about former thugs who now work in a cupcake shop.

Looks like this is going to be a week of Dalkey Archive reviews, with my piece on Anonymous Celebrity by Ignacio de Loyola Brandao coming out on Thursday or Friday . . . And not to give away too much, but my review is much more positive than what Timothy Nassau (former Open Letter intern who's actually back in school and still reviewing for us) has to say about Gerard Gavarry's Hoppla! 1 2 3, which was published earlier this year in Jane Kuntz's translation.
As frequently occurs, a few days ago I was browsing through a bookstore when something caught my eye. The book was Negative Horizon by Paul Virilio, which "sets out [his] theory of dromoscopy: a means of apprehending speed and its pivotal—and potentially destructive—role in contemporary global society." Chapter titles include "The Aesthetics of Disappearance," "The Metapsychosis of the Passenger," and "From the Site of the Election to the Site of the Ejection." I did not purchase the book (the one time I've read anything Continuum published it took me over an hour to get through the first ten pages, though kudos to them for putting out a translation of Berlin Alexanderplatz), but something about it struck me as simultaneously so French and so absurdly pretentious that Paul Virilio has stayed with me.
Gérard Gavarry's Hoppla! 1 2 3, a book I actually have read, has similar qualities. The title comes from the Bertolt Brecht line, "And as the first head rolls I'll say: hoppla!" These morbid connotations, coupled with the three numbers, present a taste of what is to come. The basic story is that a youth from the housing projects of a Parisian suburb rapes and kills his mother's boss, the manager of a supermarket. The novel aspect of the book is that the story is told three different times in three sections of eleven chapters each.
At first this may sound like a more drawn out and more blood-thirsty version of Raymond Queneau's Exercises in Style. The back of the book certainly backs this up as it describes how each section is "in a different tone or mode and with different sets of images and vocabularies—borrowed from tropical botany, the shipping industry, and ancient Greece." But this is actually misleading. The whole book sticks fairly close to the same style throughout, and each retelling is more a chance to flesh out the basic plot than to cast it in an entirely new light.

December 31, 2008 1:19 by Aarti Nagraj
It's been a long 365 days and every media publication is talking about all the exciting and eventful happenings that took place in 2008. There is much to remember about it- devastating attacks like Gaza and Mumbai, the global financial crisis and a new US president elect.
For each one of us, it has also meant losing a precious job, or crossing a new milestone.
But 2009 is here and while everyone is prepared for the challenges that it is going to start out with, there are also hopes that the economic situation will get better, that jobs will be back and that everyone will be happy.
On that note, we wish you a great New Year.

House of Cards ch 6
Pairing: Ivan x Yao from the Hetalia Series. AU
Summary: All's fair in love and war especially so if the one you desire stands on the other side of the battlefield.
Ch 6: Gains and Losses
(Note: This is a few days after "Dream and Little Dream". It's NOT the next morning.)
Morning sunlight flittered into the room and through the sheer curtains of the canopy bed.
The rays were warm on his resting face; the light bright behind his unopened eyes. Slowly, Yao woke from his sleep and was startled to find Ivan holding a strand of his hair between his fingertips.
Immediately, he jerked up to a sitting position; his hair slipping from Ivan's grip.
Wildly his heart raced, adrenaline pumped through his veins, but his face remained impassive, betraying none of this thoughts.
Never. Never had anyone been able to sneak up on him while he slept. The mere presence of someone else in the room was often enough to jolt him awake. The only exception to the rule was Mei. After the death of her m
To the Rescue AruChina was walking leisurely down the hallway of the vast mansion. Like everything else in Russia, the mansion was immense- the hallways seem unending, the doors branched off into different parts of the house. It took him many visits and careful memorization before he could stroll down alone Russia's massive home without losing his way.To the Rescue Aru in General Fiction More Like This
In some sense or another, this had almost become his second home. Whenever he came to visit, none of the guards stopped him from entering; the maids greeted and curtsied. To be acknowledged and recognized as a 'special' friend of their nation, it was a queer feeling.
It wasn't as if he and Russia made it their goal to keep their relationship a secret. There really was no point in denying it. However, even with the world labeling them as a couple, the couple themselves never openly admitted their feelings to one another. There were no exclamations of 'I love you' or undying vows of eternity. What they had was much simpler than that: a brushing of han

Chapter 7: The Heartless Jack of Hearts
Surprisingly true to their words, the Diamonds let them go in peace. For hours, Alfred and Yao rode on in uneventful silence. Without noticing, the scenery changed from frosty white to patches of green. The further they went, the more plants and animals they saw. Grass that he hadn't seen for months swayed gentle against the light breeze. Birds played chased in the wide open sky. Yao looked up, observing the landscape before him singing with life.
Unconsciously, he touched the mark on his neck. Noticing the odd action, Alfred brought his horse closer.
"Is something wrong?" he asked full of concern. Ever since they left the Kingdom of Diamonds, he noticed how somber the Jack had become. He was never a cheerful, extroverted person to begin with, but even Alfred noticed the a

Summary: Stuck in a snowstorm during the holidays, Yao broods over the fact he's all alone in the world. Ivan, on the other hand, wants to disprove that thought.
The sun was beginning to dip below the horizon; taking with it its' cherished warmth.
Unseeingly, shimmering gold eyes stared out of the cave's entrance. White. For hours and hours on end, snow obscured his vision as it continued to pour down from the sky. Not a hint of another color, not even a single sound penetrated the blizzard's barriers. It was as if the snow had closed him off from the world; as if it wanted to hide him from the war, the bloodshed, the ugliness of it all.
He shivered, pulling the wool blanket tighter around him. So far away from home and unable to see the setting sun, he still knew when night approached. There wasn't a specific reason why he knew. Perhaps it was from experience and old age or perhaps it was the tightening sting of the scar marring his back, but no
Secret SantaSecret Santa. It was a silly game America suggested for the nations to play. China was one of the few nations that rejected the idea and refused to participate, but after some consideration (and bullying from the others), he decided to join in on the festivities.Secret Santa in General Fiction More Like This
When it was finally his turn to draw a name from a hat, China wasn't particularly concerned. He already decided no matter who he got, he would probably give them some money stuffed in a red pocket, some shark fin, and grade-A tea leaves; if it was a female nation, he'll even throw in some crushed pearl face cream and bird's nest soup. He was silently congratulating himself on how generous he was when he pulled a name out. Immediately, the thought flew out of his mind and colored drained from his face as he read the name. It couldn't be . He blinked. Blinked again as he read the name scribbled on the tiny paper. He stared hard at it until he thought his vision blurred. No matter how hard he stared at it, the letters didn't

Chapter 8: The End and the Beginning
In the small, barely furnished room, Mei idly sat on the bed, swinging her legs to and fro. For a long while, she sat there quietly, watching Yao pen letters after letters to acquaintances and friends. She found it odd that he had so much to say to so many people. Her impression of her uncle was a man who closed himself off from the world; a reclusive man with very few friends. But something in him changed and now .
"So what will you do?" She broke the silence, unable to contain her restlessness.
Without turning to face her, Yao continued writing; the scratch of the feather pen slow and methodic. "I'm heading to the Far Eastern Empire. It's time I go back home."
"You are home! This is your home and has been so for years!" Mei jumped to her feet, anger mixing with confusi
Facade and Delusions"You're insane," China hissed against Russia's lips.Facade and Delusions in General Fiction More Like This
"Yes," Purring, Russia's tongue darted out to give China a quick lick, "but then so are you. I like pushing you over the edge and watching your calm façade break away. "
China slammed his mouth against Russia's, effectively silencing the mocking mouth.
China silently agreed.
They were both insane.
DawnRussia sat by the windowsill, immobile; his eyes transfixed on the world outside. It was a scene he had seen countless times: snow drifting to the ground softly, gently, blanking the ground in pure white. To others it might seem genteel; a peaceful, tranquil winter wonderland.Dawn in General Fiction More Like This
It was all lies.
If he had a choice, he rather the weather reflect what he felt: anger, despair, rejection...but most of all loneliness. Everything was falling apart. All of it was going to end. Alone. Alone. Alone. He was going to be alone again. It was a devil chanting that same mantra over and over. No one loved him. They all hated him. They all wanted to be liberated from him even when he treated them so well, protected them from other power hungry nations. Hate. Hate. Hate.
"Shut up!" The vodka bottle he used to drown out his sorrow sailed across the room, shattering on the double door...right next to China's head.
Calmly, the Chinese nation wiped the drops of alcohol that splattered onto his face. "I

A loud explosion followed that proclamation and the entire room was filled with smoke. Coughing, the Allies quickly opened the door.
France was the first to regain his breath, "Damn it Angleterre! Stop it with your magic! They are poo poo!"
"Sh-shut up! I just wanted my little cute America back!"
"You wanted what back?" America answered coughing into his hand.
France and UK stared wide-eyed at America, "Wait. If you're here. Then-"
"Wah~ Everyone left me behind in there. So mean~" Russia stumbled out of the smoked filled room, tripping over his clothes. His big violet eyes turned to the Englishmen "England~ England~ Turn me back! I don't like looking up at everyone. It feels weird..."
"Ah-" England didn't get to finish his sentence. China quickly pushed him to the floor in his rush to Russia.

Humming happily, Russia walked down the garden pathway with a little hop to his step. Suddenly, he spotted a familiar back just a few yards in front of him. Smiling to himself, he lengthened his stride to catch up to the other man.
"Hey!" Russia yelled out, clasping onto Greece's shoulder with one hand, "Watcha doing Greece?" Curious, he looked at the bundle of Hello Kitty products in the Greek's arms.
The other nation gave him a blank stare. Slowly he answered Russia's question as if it was costing him a lot of effort."I...just got done shopping for Japan...I think I went overboard..."
"How nice...you're spending Christmas with Japan..." Russia offered a smile, but it was tinged with a bit of malicious jealousy.
It went unnoticed by Greece who only nodded his head absently. "Yes, it'll be very nice." He looked at the bundle of gifts in his arms and handed a Hello Kitty Plushie doll to the Russian. "Hm...looks like I really did get to much. Here, you c

- ―Sandman in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
Sandman is a Marvel Super Heroes minifigure that appears in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. He will also appear in the set 76037 Rhino and Sandman Super Villain Team-up
Sandman has laid-back, brown light hair with matching eyebrows. He wears a bright green shirt decorated with horizontal stripes in a darker and lighter shades. His muscles show through the shirt. He wears dark tan pants and a belt on his legs.
He has the ability to activate sand pits around the Hub world, and free-play mode on levels.
Flint Marko was an ordinary criminal until an accident turned his body into living sand. This gave him various sand based powers, and nearly unstoppable. He is generally an enemy of Spider-Man and sometimes a member of the Sinister Six.
He is only interested in money and doesn't want to hurt anyone, which has caused him to have brief bouts of heroism, and even joined the Avengers for a while.
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
Loki and Dr. Doom ordered Sandman and the Abomination to hold Grand Central Station hostage for a couple of cosmic bricks (the Silver Surfer's broken up surfboard). When The Hulk and Iron Man arrived to stop them, they were attacked by the Abomination. The Hulk managed to defeat the Abomination, while Sandman used his sand-based powers in an attempt to block the heroes. He eventually transformed into a giant sand form that caught Iron Man and Hulk in a sandstorm. Spider-Man saved them, however, and the three superheroes were able to solidify Sandman with water. S.H.I.E.L.D. then arrived and arrested Sandman and the Abomination.

Posted by a client
Greg represented me in my divorce.We were in court several times.Every time Greg Zumbrunn won with EASE !
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this seasoned professional.Every time anyone encountered Mr Zumbrunn whether it was in the hallways of the courts or the courtroom itself he seemed to be very well respected.
I was so glad I had Greg on my side!!
Posted by Cary A
Honesty and integrity, those are two words that will always be associated with Greg Zumbrunn. When I decided to retain Greg to assist me through my divorce it was one of the best decisions I made in such a difficult period in my life. Greg was always extremely prepared whether it be for your consultation, a meeting, or Court he made me feel like I was his only client and he was completely focused on my case. Greg represents himself and his firm with the utmost integrity and honesty and will not hesitate to use him again for my estate planning when that time comes.
I strongly encourage anybody who needs an attorney to give Greg Zumbrunn a chance you will not be disappointed with your experience
Posted by David
Mr Zumbrunn exceeded my expectations. He quickly assessed the situation and recommended a plan of action. He was accessible and easy to talk to. His office staff was professional and helpful. I would recommend him without reservation. David A. Nieman, Ph.D.

I've attached patches that reset the byte counter to zero after one hour (this is the same behaviour as in the commercial OSS drivers).

"There have been plenty of mind-blowing choke jobs in the NFL playoffs over the past few decades, but not many can beat what happened at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Saturday night." [ESPN] Did that really just happen? As the hours have passed, John Fox's game decisions have come under increased (and deserved) scrutiny. [New York Times] No, seriously, that didn't really happen, did it? Trindon Holliday set two NFL postseason records in the loss. [New York Times] Rahim Moore, Champ Bailey, and Peyton Manning were all dreadful when it mattered. [National Football Post] I can't believe that just happened. The officials were dreadful, but they hardly own all the blame. [Yahoo! Sports] BT's own Jon Heath explores some truths and silver linings, including a reminder of the last time a 13-3 Broncos team lost a divisional playoff game. [Bleacher Report] Game stats by player/play percentage, and the full Gamebook. [DenverBroncos.com] Peyton Manning looks to next year. [Denver Post] Is this real life?

Sam3 Stars Out Of 5Great Bible, cover a little disappointingMarch 30, 2015SamQuality: 3Value: 3Meets Expectations: 3This Bible was exactly what I needed. I cut my teeth on the RSV, and the ESV is very similar, so I love it. The print is a nice size. Big enough but not silly big. Most of the page is straight Bible text, just the way I want it. Only the most important notes and cross references are listed out of the way at the bottom.
The one disappointment was that it is very difficult to tell that the Bible cover is genuine leather. It looks and feels very stiff and thin, not soft and pliable as you would expect from genuine leather. I would have preferred to spend an extra ten dollars or so on the Bible and gotten a higher quality cover.
C5 Stars Out Of 5ESVJanuary 20, 2015CQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5A very nice bible. i like the 12pt type. the print is clear and contrast is great. paper is a good weight. too bad it only comes with black cover.
GP3 Stars Out Of 5FairNovember 21, 2014GPQuality: 3Value: 3Meets Expectations: 2This review was written for ESV Large-Print Bible--soft leather-look, brown/cordovan.This bible has a fine appearance. The print being large enough the font seems to be narrow top to bottom.
For my viewing it is affected by left to right capture of words becomes stilted. Much print often bleeds through from opposite page. The psalms have a different top to bottom placement on the page than most other books.
Replacement of a similar priced bible is not an option due to shipping costs.
judymacon moAge: Over 65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5niceJuly 19, 2014judymacon moAge: Over 65Gender: femaleThis review was written for ESV Large-Print Bible--soft leather-look, brown/cordovan.I did a lot of search before buying this bible. The reviews helped me decide .
The bible is well made . the cover is soft but not like cloth soft .It has a good feel when holding it . The font is a dark color ink . The font is dark enough to read with out eye strain . And the type of font is a clear type font . By that I mean it is not big like box lettering . And it is printed with out smearing or blurring . The chapter numbers are a shade darker and easy to find. The paper is not thin ,but a better grade of paper . I use a pencil to under line . As I think ink would possible show through. Depending on the ink .
I am more pleased with this bible and its construction than some I have bought in years past. (I needed a bible to read ,you will not find notes or comments )
there is a small Introduction of chapters, concordance and maps .
And for me 70 years young, poor vision and cannot hold heavy book . This is a good buy. judy

When shopping for a diamond, you must look at all facets of the stone to make sure it's the right one for you
Hello, to whomever decides to read this :) I love meeting new people and trying new things, a real jump in with two feet kind of mentality, but I always think ahead a step or two and for that I get criticized. I am a very stable and comfortable person. I love to travel and site-see, go out to dinners and shows, read, cook and stay healthy and workout. I recently became a crossfit certified trainer, which I am trying to start my own practice and client list. I'm a funny, witty and loyal charismatic guy, that's looking for someone that wants to spend time with a guy who can make them smile, laugh, feel warm and feel appreciated. I am looking for the same and don't think it's too much to ask. I'm looking for a great girl that wants to explore life together and see where we wind up, kind of like " as long as we are together, I don't care where we go". I don't care where your from and what your story is, if it clicks with us, let's chat and see where it goes.

If the Colorado Rockies step outside the box -- and perhaps outside the warning track -- and hire Jason Giambi as their manager, they can lay claim to having the most decorated skipper in baseball, at least when it comes to body art. And imagine the motivational techniques Giambi, a 40-year-old pinch hitter who will interview for the job, might be able to impart on a struggling player.

But here's where hiring Giambi would really be interesting: As baseball tries to distance itself from the steroid era -- never mind the occasional Melky Cabrera ... or Bartolo Colon ... or diminished Alex Rodriguez -- Giambi would become the first acknowledged user of performance-enhancing drugs to rise to a position of power in baseball, as either a manager or genera...
