Mexico City (Distrito Federal)
The most populous metropolitan area in the Western Hemisphere, Mexico City (or Distrito Federal) is Mexico's economic, cultural and political hub.
At the height of their power in the 15th and early 16th centuries, the Aztecs ruled over a large empire in Mesoamerica (now south-central Mexico).
Did You Know?
The three colors of Mexico's flag hold deep significance for the country and its citizens: green represents hope and victory, white stands for the purity of Mexican ideals and red brings to mind the blood shed by the nation's heroes.
Early History
The Olmecs, Mexico's first known society, settled on the Gulf Coast near what is now Veracruz. Remembered for the giant head sculptures they carved from native stone, the Olmecs had two main population centers: San Lorenzo, which flourished from about 1200 to 900 B.C., and La Venta in Tabasco, which lasted until about 600 B.C.
By 300 B.C., villages based on agriculture and hunting had sprung up throughout the southern half of Mexico. Monte Albán, home to the Zapotec people, had an estimated 10,000 inhabitants. Between 100 B.C. and 700 A.D., Teotihuacán, the largest pre-Columbian city in the Americas, was constructed near present-day Mexico City. The civilization that built it is also called Teotihuacán, and the influence of this culture can be seen throughout the Veracruz and Mayan regions. At its zenith, with a population estimated at 200,000, the civilization is thought to have controlled a large portion of southern Mexico. The empire of Teotihuacán was overthrown in the 7th century, but the spectacular city survives today.
The Mayans, widely considered to be pre-Columbian America's most brilliant civilization, thrived between approximately 250 and 900 A.D. They developed a calendar and writing system and built cities that functioned as hubs for the surrounding farming towns. The ceremonial center of Mayan cities featured plazas surrounded by tall temple pyramids and lower buildings called "palaces." Religion played a central role in Mayan life, and altars were carved with significant dates, histories and elaborate human and divine figures. The Mayan civilization collapsed in the early 10th century, likely due to overpopulation and the resultant damage to the ecological balance.
The Toltec civilization also influenced Mexico's cultural history. Historians have determined that the Toltec people appeared in central Mexico near the 10th century and built the city of Tula, home to an estimated 30,000-40,000 people. Some have speculated that the Toltecs performed human sacrifices to appease the gods. One of their kings, Tezcatlipoca, is said to have ordered mass sacrifices of captured enemy warriors. Because many Toltec architectural and ritualistic influences can be found at the Mayan site of Chichén Itzá in northern Yucatán, many researchers believe that Toltec exiles fled to Yucatán and created a new version of Tula there.
The Aztecs, the last of pre-Columbian Mexico's great native civilizations, rose to prominence in the central valley of Mexico around 1427 by partnering with the Toltecs and Mayans. This triple alliance conquered smaller cultures to the east and west until the Aztec empire spanned Mexico from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf Coast. At their height, the Aztecs ruled 5 million people via a tightly-structured system of self-supporting units called calpulli. Each unit had its own governing council, schools, army, temple and land but paid tribute to the supreme leader of the empire. Influenced by earlier Mexican civilizations, the Aztecs conducted extraordinary religious ceremonies that featured dances, processions and sacrifices.
Middle History
Spaniard Hernán Cortés arrived at Veracruz in 1519. Believing that Cortés might be the serpent god Quetzalcoatl, Aztec King Moctezuma II invited the conquistador to Tenochtitlán. This gesture proved disastrous because Cortés formed many allies on his way to the city. In May 1521, Cortez and his followers attacked and conquered the Aztecs. Cortés then colonized the area and named it Nueva España (New Spain). By 1574, Spain controlled a large portion of the Aztec empire and had enslaved most of the ndigenous population. Worse, the diseases brought into the society by the Spaniards devastated the indigenous population of Nueva España, killing an estimated 24 million people between 1521 and 1605.
The Catholic Church's influence was felt in the region when missionaries began arriving in 1523. The missionaries built many monasteries and converted millions of people to Catholicism.
During this tumultuous time, colonists in Nueva España who had been born in Spain (peninsulares) clashed with Spaniards who had been born in Mexico (criollos). Many criollos had become rich and wanted equal political power, which now resided with the peninsulares.
Concerned about the Catholic Church's ever-growing power, King Carlos III of Spain expelled the Jesuits from Nueva España in the late 1700s. Napoleón Bonaparte's occupation of Spain in 1808 compromised the country's political and economic structure, which in turn weakened Spain's grip on Nueva España.
Recent History
On September 16, 1810, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a parish priest from the town of Dolores, issued a call to rebellion. In response, rebel leader Vicente Guerrero and defected royalist general Agustín de Itúrbide collaborated to gain Mexico's independence from Spain in 1821. Together they drafted a Mexican constitution. However, in 1822, Itúrbide declared himself emperor of the country. A year later, Antonio López de Santa Anna overthrew Itúrbide and drew up a new constitution that established a federal Mexican republic composed of 19 states and four territories. From 1823 to 1836, Santa Anna served as president, squelching Texas' stand for independence in the battle of the Alamo during his last year in office. He was later defeated by American forces during the Mexican-American War and, by 1855, had gone into exile. Following Mexico's occupation by the French in the mid-1800s, Porfírio Díaz served as president from 1876 to 1909.
Despite ushering in the industrial age and greatly improving the country's infrastructure, Díaz was a dictator who bestowed political favors on the very wealthy citizenry, largely ignored the poor and ruled ruthlessly by force.
The Mexican people, tired of the unbalanced distribution of wealth and power, initiated the Mexican Revolution in 1910. The 10-year civil war resulted in at least 2 million casualties. Finally, in 1934, Lázaro Cárdenas became president and reestablished the ancient ejido system, which established communally shared tracts of farmland. The system benefited both the citizens and the economy. World War II further stimulated the nation's development through the development of roads, the building of factories and the establishment of irrigation systems.

Michael Jackson suddenly awoke at 4:30 a.m. on April 19, 2009, stood on his bed and exclaimed "I told you I cannot sleep all night!"
Jackson's frustration, just as rehearsals for his comeback concerts were gearing up, marked the beginning of the end for the pop icon, a deterioration documented by emails, photographs and testimony presented in the wrongful death trial of concert promoter AEG Live.
Nurse Cherilyn Lee, who had been giving Jackson IV infusions of a cocktail of vitamins for two months to help him sleep, sat at his bedside. "It kind of scared me," Lee said. "It really startled me when he stared at me with his big brown eyes."
Jackson asked Lee to help him find an anesthesiologist to infuse him with the surgical anesthetic propofol because he was convinced it was the only cure for his insomnia, she testified.
Jackson had made the same request of Dr. Allan Metzger when the doctor, who had treated him for 26 years, visited his Los Angeles home a day earlier, according to Metzger's testimony.
Metzger and Lee testified that they refused, warning Jackson that it was unsafe to use the IV anesthetic outside of a hospital or clinic.
Jackson told Lee that doctors had assured him it was safe as long as he was properly monitored. She testified that she told Jackson that any doctor who would give him propofol at home didn't care about him and was just doing it for the money.
Jackson died 65 days later from an overdose of propofol, a drug that Dr. Conrad Murray told investigators he infused into Jackson almost every night for two months to put him to sleep.
Murray is a month away from being freed from jail after serving two years for an involuntary manslaughter conviction in Jackson's death.
Closing arguments begin Tuesday in the five-month-long trial to decide if AEG Live shares responsibility in Jackson's death for the negligent hiring, retention or supervision of Murray.
The 83 days of testimony that ended Friday included startling revelations about the pop icon's fatal search for sleep.
Burden of proof
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos instructed jurors Monday that Jackson's mother and three children have the burden of proving that their case is "more likely to be true than not true." Unlike in a criminal case, they do not have to prove it "beyond a reasonable doubt," she said. A verdict requires just nine of the 12 jurors to agree -- not a unanimous decision.
The Jacksons' lawsuit contends AEG Live is liable for damages in the singer's death because its executives hired Murray to serve as Jackson's personal physician for his "This Is It" tour and that they were negligent in hiring, retaining or supervising him.
Jurors will have a verdict form with 16 questions to answer during their deliberations. A "no" answer to any of the first five would end their deliberations and the trial immediately. Beyond that, they would decide what damages, if any, AEG Live would pay the Jacksons.
Question No. 1
Did AEG Live hire Murray?
Lawyers for the concert promoter argue that it was Jackson who chose and hired the doctor. Murray had treated Jackson and his children for minor illnesses for about three years while they were in Las Vegas. AEG Live Co-CEO Paul Gongaware began negotiations to hire Murray only at Jackson's insistence, they say.
A final contract between Murray and AEG Live -- with a third-party signature line for Jackson -- listed Murray's starting date as May 1, 2009. But it was not sent to Murray until just days before Jackson's death. Murray signed and returned it, but no AEG Live executive signed it after Jackson's death the next day. Neither Jackson, nor any of his representatives, ever saw the contract, according to testimony.
Jurors will have to decide if AEG Live's negotiations and actions, documented by several emails, constituted Murray's hiring in the absence of a signed contract.

Hi Greg, big fan of Ivory Tower Metaphysics and your show here. One thing I was always curious about was your opinion on Less Wrong. I can get on board with the heuristics and biases stuff, but what's your opinion on the singulatarianism, what looks to me to be pseudoscience (at least their physics are, their argument for MWI is atrocious), etc.? You're someone whose opinion I'd consider extremely valuable, because I really don't know what to make of the whole anti-philosophy/transhumanist/SIAI/Oxford FHI etc. package.
I can't say enough how much you and your podcast have improved my grasp on so many important aspects of life! I've went back and listened to nearly every episode over the last couple months. Obviously you're guests are hugely responsible for spreading knowledge but you're podcast is an invaluable platform for these important ideas that is sadly lacking in our culture. Also, you do an excellent job of asking provocative questions and are extremely courteous in your interviews. Keep up the great work and I look forward to many other shows in the future as well as any other personal ventures you be embarking on. Alright, I'm done gushing :D
Hi Greg! I just started listing to some of the new shows on the new site. Quite an improvement from 5 months ago when I last listened to the show. I am a new fan. : )
Normally I wouldn't do this since it is poor form, but I realize that the way I structured the thread was so unclear that nothing meaningful can come as a result. If two people in a row misunderstand like that, I have to take the blame for poorly expressing myself. I'd rather scrap the thread than let it build into something pointless.
Thanks for your reply.
My apologies,

The flowers for the memorial service included bird of paradise and Irish bells, ti leaves and orchid spikes.
Wonderful. And a little unusual.
And just right for wonderful, unusual Brian Baldwin.
"Brilliant,'' said longtime friend Shirley Hartness. "We're talking way past smart.''
And by all accounts, kind-hearted and fun-loving. Brian Baldwin, lover of dogs and music, arts and crafts, a man who cooked poached salmon in the dishwasher and who was devoted to his wife of 24 years, died Jan. 6. He was 65.
"A good guy,'' said his wife, Jane Casto, the services manager for the Cumberland County Public Library & Information Center. "A really good guy.''
The memorial service took place at Carolina Highlands, next to the rehabilitation and nursing center where Baldwin, a registered nurse, provided years of tender loving care to the community's most fragile residents.
It was also the site of many a sometimes quirky, always memorable performance by Brian and his Celtic Museum cohorts, Dr. Al Hartness, Alton Hartness and sometimes a fiddler or two.
The group first formed in the early 1990s, not long after Baldwin and Casto moved to Fayetteville from their native Tennessee. Baldwin was walking the family dog when he heard the sweet strains of the Scottish music he loved emanating from the Women's Center on Hay Street. It was a ceilidh, a traditional Scottish social gathering.
"Can I join in?'' Baldwin asked, poking his head inside.
He went home, grabbed his bag of penny whistles, and a fast and enduring friendship began.
"He was our friend, an amazing nurse, a puller of Wikipedia-like info out of his hat,'' Al Hartness said. "He could tell you the players in movies from the '40s and '50s, knew singers, composers, authors, had the quickest wit. But the most things I liked and remember are our music gigs.''
Baldwin could also play the guitar and the recorder. Hartness plays the accordion, and distant cousin Alton Hartness is a professional guitarist.
Their first gig came when Casto arranged for them to play in the library's Pate Room.
"We weren't exactly like Carnegie Hall,'' Hartness said, "but we just had fun playing and being together.''
They went on to play at nursing homes, at downtown Fayetteville's Fourth Friday events, just about whenever someone asked them to play.
Their last gig had been at Village Green in October. By then, the effects of pulmonary fibrosis, one of the several health problems Baldwin had battled, began to take hold.
So it was that Al Hartness and Alton Hartness struck up the familiar chords of "Amazing Grace'' at the memorial service honoring their friend, along with two Irish songs that had been Baldwin's favorites.
For one little corner of the world, the music will never be quite as sweet.
"We miss you, Brian, and we will miss your whistle,'' Hartness said. "Thank you for all you gave us.''

Eh, there are plenty of better Muse guitar centered songs out there.
922 views till 100,000.
My God if in 10 years Muse doesn't get a Rock Band 17: Muse edition, I'm going to be pissed. Aerosmith and Metallica get one, so can Muse. I say wait 10 years since those bands that got stand alone games have been around for more then 20 years and considered "classics", though I for one don't care about them one bit. Imagine the music staple Muse will be in 10 years!!

Does anyone know if GH or RB have ever included multiple songs from a band on the disc??
Didn't GH2 do that for Metallica?? Maybe there's hope that GH:WT includes more then just Assassin even if it's a slim chance.

Etiquette guidelines for identi.ca, status.net and (open-)microblogging in general.
Contents |
Re-dent (RD) in Indenti.ca is comparable to re-tweet (RT) in Twitter.
Avoid duplicates to groups. If the notice includes a group name, prefixed with an exclamation mark:
- always: remove that exclamation mark before re-sending
- optional: replace ! with # to leave a hash tag in place of the group link (example).
Symbols such as ♺ are unrecognisable to some clients. If in doubt:
- use the RD prefix.
If you automatically send notices from Identi.ca to Twitter:
- you may prefer to use the RT prefix (the expression RT may be better understood by the Twitter community).
The bigger the group, the more it is important to think about what you post.
- Before posting always think about how many people you are going to reach and how many people may be interested in you particular dent.
- Example of a "good" dent: Since this morning !linux is the most used operating system in the world: www.example.com/linux-article
- Example of a "bad" dent: Just re-installed !linux on my laptop
- If you post in non-English, think about how many people understand your post and how many won't (obviously this does not concern local groups).
Administering a group
Never forget: With great power comes great responsibility [1]
- Upload a group logo.
- Write a good description:
- Try to avoid the word group in the group description. It's redundant.
- If appropriate, make use of the alias feature.
- Don't be the only admin. You can't be online all the time.
- Try to get admins from other timezones.
URL shorteners
- If you don't need to use these, resist. Most readers will prefer a transparent URL.
- I disagree with this. I really don't like long URLs. --Evan 12:59, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
Avoid multiple steps. If a short URL leads to something other than an original (examples: http://digg.com/u3GXXf http://www.diigo.com/0852b http://ur1.ca/fya6 http://ow.ly/D1X2) consider that readers may prefer a single step to the original.

Something bargained for and received by a promisor from a promisee. Common types of consideration include real or personal property, a return promise, some act, or a forbearance. Consideration or a valid substitute is required to have a contract.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A benefit or right for which the parties to a contract must bargain. In order to be valid, a contract must be founded on an exchange of one form of consideration for another. Consideration may be a promise to perform a certain act -- for example, a promise to fix a leaky roof in return for a payment of $1,000 -- or a promise not to do something, such as build a second story on a house that will block the neighbor's view (in return for money or something else). Whatever its particulars, consideration must be something of value to the people who are making the contract, even if the value is very low. Acts which are illegal or so immoral that they are against established public policy cannot serve as consideration. Examples include prostitution, gambling where it's outlawed, hiring someone to break a skater's knee, or paying someone to breach another agreement (back out of a promise).

The Associated Press
THETFORD - Vermont State Police say a couple robbed at gunpoint in an acquaintance's driveway had been lured there.
Police said Caitlyn and Chris Burnham of Bradford were visiting with McKayla Jordan in Thetford. The three were in the Burnhams' car when two masked men came out of the woods and pointed a handgun at Chris Burnham. They left with his wallet and about $1,000.
The Burnhams told police that despite the masks, they were able to identify both men.
Police later arrested 28-year-old Buddy Covey of Bradford and 42-year-old Jamie Lussier of Croydon, N.H., on charges of assault and robbery. They were being arraigned Thursday.
They said the 24-year-old Jordan will appear in court at a later date.MORE IN This Just InRUTLAND- The federal prosecutor's office in Vermont says a 31-year-old man is going to prison for...

text: Dear Friends of St. John's University, As President of St. John's, I have the pleasure of reporting on the major accomplishments of our University during the 2007-08 academic year. As you read through these pages, you will note that the report focuses on three themes. The first of these has been highlighted previously and is featured again this year because of its centrality to all that we do. That is an enduring commitment to mission, particularly our unique Vincentian mission, derived from St. Vincent de Paul's dedication to serving others. That mission animated establishment of the Ozanam Scholars program, designed for students who have already amassed a record of community service and are interested in enhancing their studies with volunteer work that can truly transform the world. It is central, as well, to programs that foster a culture of service within University personnel – faculty, administration and staff – who interact with students. And it motivates initiatives such as the newly created Office of Sustainability, intended to assure that St. John's plays an active role in environmental stewardship. The second theme, engagement, emerges from the first. Vincent de Paul was, most emphatically, a man of action, committed to involvement with the world. Following his inspiration, St. John's offers realworld experiences where students can test theoretical knowledge, hone leadership skills and work to improve society. The Tenant Advocacy Clinic of the School of Law, outreach activities of the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, partnerships between The School of Education and a variety of urban schools and work done by The Peter J. Tobin College of Business students with numerous non-profit organizations are just a few examples of the active learning experiences that enrich students' years at St. John's. And the University's sponsorship of Bread and Life provides opportunities to help the poor within our own metropolitan area. The third theme is intertwined with the other two, for it shows the increasingly global nature of our University and how we prepare students to engage in serving the needs of others throughout the world. For example, opportunities to study abroad include a service component. New academic programs, including the proposed master's in International Communications to be offered by the College of Professional Studies, have a global focus. And Campus Ministry fosters Vincentian formation by initiatives such as a volunteer experience in Lourdes, where students work with sick and dying pilgrims who journey to that site from throughout the world. The end of this report documents the effective stewardship of our financial resources. In that regard, let me take this opportunity to express the gratitude of our entire community to the many friends and supporters whose gifts assist our efforts. Their generosity and God's continued blessings will assure the growth and vitality of St. John's. Sincerely, Donald J. Harrington, C.M. President

Top 5 prospects Dolphins could surprise us with in first round
As the ongoing labor dispute continues, even now as the lockout has been lifted, we will continue to focus our attention strictly on the draft. The major news outlets do a great job of explaining the uncharted waters the league is currently in, and frankly it's hard for me to wrap my mind around the ramifications of Judge Nelson denying a "stay" as expected. So we will keep our focus on the draft, while the league potentially turns to chaos.
We've talked all offseason about players like Mark Ingram, Mike Pouncey, and Ryan Mallett. Players that would fill pressing needs for the Dolphins if taken in Thursday's first round. But it's important to keep an open mind when dealing with this front office. Last year's draft should have taught us our lesson.
In 2010, most of the pre-draft speculation centered on outside linebacker, nose tackle, and free safety prospects. What did the Dolphins do? Only shock us all by taking defensive end Jared Odrick with Randy Starks, Kendall Langford, and Phillip Merling already on the roster.
The next day we learned that the Dolphins planned on moving Randy Starks to nose tackle, which rationalized the pick. Ultimately, though, that decision didn't last as Starks was forced back over to end due to injuries to Merling and Odrick, and Paul Soliai went on to blossom at nose.
The point being, don't limit your expectations for what the Dolphins will do with their first-round pick, whenever it will be made. It's clear that Jeff Ireland prefers the best player available strategy early on, and in the event that the Dolphins are unable to trade down, I doubt he would be willing to reach for a player that would fill a need but doesn't grade out as a mid-first round prospect on his board.
It's important to keep in mind that the Dolphins' board could drastically differ from the experts' projections. For example, just because Ryan Mallett doesn't grade out as a first-round pick to Mel Kiper, the Dolphins could easily have him ranked near the top of their board. But there are several prospects that aren't being discussed among Dolphins fans that could easily be on Ireland's radar. Without further ado, here are the top five prospects the Dolphins could surprise us with tomorrow night.
1. Aldon Smith, OLB, Missouri: I've seen some Dolphins' writers and bloggers pencil in Robert Quinn as the pass rusher the front office could surprisingly take in round one. I highly doubt Quinn falls all the way to the 15th pick, though. Aldon Smith, on the other hand, is a realistic option if the Dolphins decide to forgo addressing their offensive needs in the first and attempt to sure up their pass rush opposite Cameron Wake instead. Smith has all the tools to be a double-digit sack guy at the next level and could potentially be the last piece to an elite defense in Miami.
2. Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin: We all know the Dolphins need to upgrade the interior offensive line, but if Carimi is the best player available when they select at 15, Vernon Carey's time in Miami may be numbered. Carey has been a very solid starter for the Dolphins for seven years now, but has had a difficult time staying healthy lately and has seemingly lost a step or two. He's also compensated fairly well; possibly a little too much for the Dolphins' liking. Carimi is a good all-around tackle that could potentially be ready to start from day one.

Ingredients by
Braised Venison with Bacon, Chestnuts and Wild Mushrooms in a Rich Madeira Sauce
This casserole freezes extremely well and fits the bill perfectly at Christmas when you have had enough turkey. Because it's braised slowly, there are lots of lovely flavours and because the sauce, made with rich Madeira, is dark and glossy, this cries out for a pile of creamy, fluffy mashed potato.
Serves 4-6

Equipment |
You will also need a 6 pint (3.5 litre) lidded flameproof casserole. |
This recipe first appeared in Delia's Christmas Easy.
Begin this by heating half the oil in the casserole and, when it's hot, add the onions and cook them for about 6 minutes, till they're dark and caramelised at the edges. Then add the garlic, stir and cook for a further minute before removing the whole lot to a plate, using a draining spoon.
Next, add the bacon lardons or cubetti di pancetta to the casserole, toss them around in the hot fat till they turn golden, then transfer them, too, to the plate.Now add the rest of the oil and, keeping the heat high, brown the cubes of meat, about 6 at a time, removing them to join the onions as you go.
After that, add the fresh mushrooms and toss them around in the hot juices for another minute, then return everything from the plate back to the casserole. Stir well now, add a good seasoning of salt and pepper, then sprinkle in the flour, stirring again to soak up the juices, then gradually add the Madeira, still stirring.
Finally, add the thyme, the bay leaves, chestnuts and the dried porcini (having rinsed them first under a tap and broken up any extra-large pieces).
As soon as the whole thing reaches simmering point, put a lid on and transfer it to the oven to braise slowly for 2½ hours. Then remove the braised venison from the oven and, when it's absolutely cold, transfer it to a plastic freezer box and freeze till needed.
To reheat, remove from the freezer and defrost at room temperature (about 4-5 hours).
Pre-heat the oven to 180C, gas mark 4.
Transfer the the venison to a casserole dish and heat in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until piping hot.

text: 25 June 2006 archive Tweet See all show photos PLAYING an away match is never easy, especially when the stakes and expectations are high. Today saw England go through to the next round of the World Cup finals, and Christopher Bailey take his triumphant Burberry team to glory in the first round of the Milan Spring/Summer 2007 season. "I wanted the collection to feel tailored and refined, but to have the effortless easy attitude of a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, reflecting the Burberry look of dishevelled elegance," said Bailey. And that's exactly what he delivered. To the sound of Yazoo's Only You, the show kicked off with a veritable display of the finest and freshest sartorial elegance seen so far. The trench was omni-present as ever, but with sleeves rolled up and belted with the finest sliver of a tan belt, it looked fresh and new. Teamed with taupe, mushroom, stone and vanilla-hued suiting, the finest cotton voile shirting, lightweight alpaca or cashmere cable knits and two-tone tie die silk knitted scarves, the look was impeccable. As Bailey told me back-stage, this was his favourite section of the show, and tactically it set the pace. Fancy footwork came courtesy of worn-in handmade shoes, and the team wore wristbands of gem-studded leather, rope or simply a silver fob chain for distinction. This was a gentleman's game, where military precision was juxtaposed with the softest summer linen, where Brideshead meets Eton, and Saville Row meets Europe. Bailey's poetic approach to colour and silhouette is simply sublime and the boldness with which he used chunks of Swarovski crystal to embellish an all-white evening section gave the collection a sense of glamour, while retaining all the right masculine pre-requisites. As Some Fantastic Place by Squeeze signalled the final whistle, we came away with our spirits lifted and another victory for England. (June 25 2006, PM) Antonio Berardi Continue reading Back to top

"What do mushrooms, dandelion root, wheat, soy and corn have in common? They may comprise key components of your car one day.
At the Forward with Ford futuring and trends conference in Dearborn, Mich., sustainable materials guru Deborah Molesky explained to a group of bloggers, journalists and media personalities that the automaker's goal is to not only manufacture, but grow, its parts in the U.S.
PHOTOS: 7 Green Trends at Ford
Molesky joked that her group was "not very popular" when they started in 2000 – and oil prices were only $50-$60 per barrel. But the team kept working, and by 2008 when oil prices moved above $100 per barrel, their products like soy-based foam for seats were developed."

Kiva Matazone Team - helping support small businesses in poorer countr |
Kiva Matazone Team - helping support small businesses in poorer countr |

I've started a team on Kiva for Matazone people:
http://www.kiva.org/team/matazone Kiva is an organisation set up to provide loans to individuals and groups in developing nations and poorer countries. These are people who through age, geography, or lack of any credit history are unable to get loans to help support them get businesses started or growing so that they can support their families. Money can be loaned from PayPal accounts, and I had a fair bit of money sitting around in mine, so I've loaned a decent amount to get the ball rolling. The minimum loan is $25, but you can loan as much as you like. Yes, there is some risk, but around 97% of the loans are repaid (I've no idea if interest is paid). These are loans - no gifts - so you are very likely to get your money back in 6-12 months, when you can choose to either take your money back or use it support a new person. So, currently team Matazone (which is just me at the moment) is proud to have been the over-50% sponsor of Julia Marca De Anahua of Peru. http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesse...ut&id=88195 She runs a small business selling sheep and wants to buy some more to grow her business and support her children through school. If you join up then you can start sponsoring someone new and we can work to support more people around the world! -------------------- Trouble Down Pit: Still updated every Monday and Friday

"It should never be underestimated what Federer has done for the game, and he shows no sign of going away," Harman told CNN. "And I'm looking forward to Nadal returning at his best ."
The rivalry of the big four and their near total dominance of the slams has helped fuel the incredible global interest in tennis despite the economic downturn, with increased prize money, commercial revenues and crowds.
Despite Nadal's absence, record attendances are predicted at the Melbourne Tennis Center over the next fortnight as Djokovic and Murray bid to live up to Becker's prediction and Federer does his level best to prove him wrong.

your final fantasy II and III are really IV and VI. I don't know if you knew about the mistranslation with those games. Also you need to pick up the FF anthology for PS1, because it has FF V which in my opinion is the hardest one. I've heard FF tactics is hard too, but I've never played it.

Hey..i was wondering..i have played eight for many years..but still wonder..did squall really die????
help me out |
mr.pants25 | #28 Subject: Well Posted: 04/01/2006 14:46:07 |
at the end of the game squall promises to wait for rinoa in the time compression but as you may or may not know rinoa and ulticima are one its along story if you didn't know. so the evil side of rinoa gets mad at squall becuse he pasted out and didn't find him so she kills ALL SEED's as her revenge. but were in the time compression so time goes back to the beging of the game and than quickly back to the future and she finds him lying on the ground and takes him back to babylon garden where he gets healed.
so he did die but not for long its a little confusing so i hope this answered your question. |

There's a Rue Bobby Sands in Paris as well, but Iran of the Mad Mullahs weren't trying to praise Sands, so much as tick off the English. If the US ever had an embassy in Havanna Castro would change the name of the street to "Oswald Drive' or some such. I find it low grade, even imperialist to go after your target by shaking through the history of another country. The Wind that Shakes the Barley director Ken Loach has always had a major left wing anti English establishment chip. To press gang and fictionalise further the events of 1919-22 period for his own personal vendetta is to my mind imperailist, for want of a better word. P.S. Good to see you back with form George

seamus60, maireadinmelb--Don't misunderstand me. I admired and respected the Hunger Strikers. I went over to Ireland to try to support them. I was there for for a large part of that terrible summer of 1981, watching them die one by one, and taking part in countless marches, meetings, pickets, demonstrations--and funerals. I have a special spot for Francis Hughes and Joseph McDonnell. I worked in Joe McDonnell's election campaign in Cavan County--he was very unlucky not to be elected. Maybe it's because I admire them that I think that history had shown that their sacrifice was foolish and unnecessary. They had many productive years left ahead of them, now lost forever. They left families bereaved and orphaned. And for what?

The prisoners did eventually get all that Brendan Duddy had passed on to Mc Guinness from the British. Proven by the attendance of Duddy at the Gasyard in Derry where he confirmed the same. Possably why Mc Guinness or Adams and others involved with the Hungerstrike declined their invitation to attend. They have never called Duddy a liar either as people expected them to do in view of the facts that totally contridict theirs. Just watched a short video of Adams giving a speech in the USA where he still beats it out that the Vols on the first Hunger strike were dogged by the Brits who reneged on a promise. Total rubbish there was NO OFFER to the men when the Dark (RIP) called it off. But Adams account buys into his and others treachury committed during the second strike.

Further in 1981 I was young, but i remember attending events in MElbourne Australia in support of Irish independence. Even in Australia my grandfather would make sure we remembered the names of the hungerstrikers and the signatories of the PRoclamation like other children remember prime ministers and presidents!

Woundedknee 1. Hunger strike was called off by the prisoners on 3 October 1981 at 3.15pm. Mickey Divine (the tenth hunger striker) had 2 children also. Hungerstrikers took the irish struggle to the world. The significance of their actions and sacrifice can be seen in the effect it had on teh world. DId you know the British embassy in Tehran Iran is on Bobby Sands Road? The difficulty know is the attempt by modern so-called Republicans to change teh boundaries failing to acknowledge that there are still political prisoners being mistreated in jails of foreigners!

Actually WoundedKnee my father was in the funeral cortège for Joe representing republicans in Australia. He was looked after by Sinn Fein and had a car and driver at his disposal. You are wrong about no concessions as the concessions were "gradually" installed so that thatcher did not look like she caved in to IRA demands.It took about three months to give freedom of movement and other concessions demanded by those incarcerated. Even the Orange inmates thanked the IRA for they received the same concessions.WoundedKnee you talk from the hip do some homework in future.

Attended by upwards of 200 guests, the IRC Awards Ceremony in the French capital brought the curtain down on the all-action series after seven hugely successful years.
After receiving his trophy for winning the coveted IRC title for the second time in succession, Mikkelsen said: "I'm feeling fantastic. I've just completed two fantastic years in the IRC with ŠKODA. It was a big opportunity coming with them in 2011 and I felt like I'd won the series when I got that drive.
"We've been very successful and won two championships. These years with ŠKODA UK have meant everything to me. They have been two fantastic years and when I look back at them they are the two best years of my life."
Mikkelsen's performances during 2012 – he was twice a winner and was fastest on more stages than any other driver – earned him the prestigious Colin McRae IRC Flat Trophy Driver of the Year, which Colin's father Jimmy presented.
ŠKODA Motorsport boss Michal Hrabánek collected the IRC manufacturers' award for the Czech firm with Bruno Famin and John Steele joining him on stage as the representatives of Peugeot (second) and M-Sport (third) respectively. Meanwhile, Patrice Ratti, the CEO of Renault Sport Technologies, accepted the IRC 2WD Cup makes' award on behalf of the French company. Honda (second) and M-Sport (third) were also recognised.
Robert Consani picked up his award for winning the IRC Production Cup title, accompanied by his IRC Production Cup-winning navigator Nicolas Klinger, while Harry Hunt and Robbie Durant were in attendance to receive their IRC 2WD Cup accolades. For co-driver Durant, the event marked his first public appearance since he injured his back on a crash on the Mabanol Sliven Rally in the autumn. Fortunately the Briton is on the road to recovery and eying a return to action in 2013.

The Czech has a long history with ŠKODA and has achieved considerable success driving Fabia Super 2000s.
His agreement for 2013 includes a programme of events in the FIA European Rally Championship alongside co-driver Pavel Dresler.
He said: "Staying in the ŠKODA Motorsport team was a clear priority for both Pavel and me. We will again rely on the great support that we have always received, and it is a big challenge for us to continue putting in top-class performances for the team."
Huff clinched the FIA World Touring Car Championship in Macau recently while Mikkelsen make it two Intercontinental Rally Challenge titles in succession on the season-closing Cyprus Rally earlier this month.
Both championships are promoted by Eurosport Events and, back in May during the IRC-counting Giru di Corscia-Tour de Corse, both drivers had a rare opportunity to meet.
Mikkelsen (pictured right with Huff) was contesting the event in a ŠKODA UK Motorsport Fabia Super 2000, while Huff was visiting the rally as a guest of Eurosport Events.
During his visit, Briton Huff enjoyed a run through a stage in a course car and visited Eurosport's live television compound. Meanwhile, Norwegian Mikkelsen finished fifth after being delayed going off the road and picking up a puncture.
