Difference between revisions of "Mont Blanc"
Revision as of 20:07, 10 June 2006
At 4807 m, Mont Blanc is the highest summit of Europe in the French Alps, near the town of Chamonix.
Mont Blanc literally means mount white.
Mont Blanc was first climbed by Jacques Balmat and Dr. Michel Paccard in 1786, and the next year by H.-B. de Saussure.

Get around
Ascension on foot
Although climbing Mont Blanc is not technically very difficult, the altitude requires proper training and equipment. Every year, several thousand people do it and several accidents are caused by improper preparation. A mountain guide is quite necessary unless you already know the place (660 € for one or two persons).
It can be done in July and August.
Usually done from Saint-Gervais-les-Bains with a night in the Goûter refuge.
Ascension by ski
Climbing Mont Blanc by ski is reserved for highly trained skiers. It's mostly glacier skiing. It can be done from March to June, depending on the snow coverage. A mountain guide is quite necessary unless you already know the place.
Usually done from Chamonix with a night in the Grands Mulets refuge.
Ascension by Tram
Climbing Mont Blanc can be traversed by a series of trams from the Italian side to the French side. It is a beautiful experience offer the comfort of heated stops with restaurants and the option of getting out to hike over the glaciers.

Per Matt Eddy of Baseball America the Cubs have signed four players to minor league deals today, most notably Brian Bogusevic. The Cubs also signed infielder Alberto Gonzalez who appeared in 24 games with the Rangers last season playing all over the infield. Right fielder Johermyn Chavez was also signed, he spent the majority of 2012 in the Mariners organization at the Double-A level. Catcher J.C. Boscan was also given a minor league contract today, Boscan appeared in six games with the Braves this past season.
Bogusevic is the only name you might actually know out of all these guys. A 2005 first round pick, Bogusevic spent last season with the Houston Astros and appeared in 146 games. His numbers weren't really much to write home about but he will be in the competition to earn a spot coming off the bench next year for the Cubs.
Thanks for reading,

Note: The serious subject matter addressed here necessitates a lengthy piece. It's best appreciated in one leisurely swoop or in parts as your time permits.
Last January, a girl approached me at St. Luke's hospital and asked to have her picture taken with me. "I'm a cancer survivor and I read your blog during chemo to help me pass the time. I'm a fan!" She exclaimed. She ended up emailing me the photo and soon, a friendship was formed.
Sharon and I last January at St. Luke's for an unexpected photo-op. I was at the hospital because I was suspected to have dengue. Beginning with a simple photo request, we are now each other's cancer buddies, exchanging emails of support and tips on how to get through chemo and baldness.
Perhaps it was a portent of things to come but two months later on March 9, I was diagnosed with Stage 2B breast cancer. This was the week leading up to my Food & Flair event, and I had to summon all my super powers in order to keep it together and take care of my purveyors. Underneath my smile, I was experiencing discomfort from the 2-day-old wounds of a breast biopsy and struggling to come to terms that I had cancer.
The following week, I spent every day at the hospital: consulting with doctors, getting blood tests and a chest x-ray, along with a bone scan and CT scan to check if the cancer had spread to other parts of my body (fortunately, it hadn't). I'd like to say that the week was a blur but I remember every detail distinctly – the perpetual pricks of needles, the sensation of the CT scan's contrast dye as it flowed into my veins, the warmth of my favorite scarf around my neck as I navigated the cold hospital halls. Most of all, I remember the absolute numbness that engulfed me in my moments of stillness. I was alone during all those tests, refused any offers of company because I needed to process what was going on. When I was told that I had cancer, instead of being sad or angry or shocked at first, I immediately launched into autopilot mode. "Okay, what do we do now?" I remember asking my doctor. I've always been an extremely disciplined, decisive person and those traits were more important than ever now in helping me do what needed to be done, and quickly.
A life not on hold
When I was diagnosed, I lost all interest in the outside world. Here were people carrying on with their lives, lives free of needles and doctors, a life so different, and seemingly happier than my own. 2015 was supposed to be a big year for me, chief of which was celebrating the 10th anniversary of my blog, Dessert Comes First. It was tempting to say that cancer put my life on hold. But no, right now, this is my life, and I've succeeded in surprising myself in many ways, the first of which was my attitude.
I had overheard my Bin on the phone saying, "The hardest part is seeing her cry…." That made me sad so it was there that I made the conscious choice to be as upbeat as I could, when I could. I also chose and still choose to say my encounter with cancer because battling/fighting cancer sounds too militant. I was stunned when an OR nurse told me right before my mastectomy, "Ma'am, you're a patient we'll remember, you're so positive."
Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of bad days. I once cried so hard that a blood vessel in my eye burst and the resulting dark red patch alarmed small children and some adults, I believe. But while I acknowledge that this is a very rough time for me, I strive to be calm and hopeful when I'm around people. I've noticed that they take their cue from me and I want to put them at ease right away. It's better for everyone, and being as lighthearted as I can be is part of my energy tool kit.
The doctors who are helping me heal
Fast forward 20+ years, Karen and I are still there for each other; here she is visiting me during my first chemo. She's a great surgeon, and an even greater friend.There were people who were brought into my life to help me heal. On March 26, I had a modified radical mastectomy (MRM) with axillary lymph node dissection, a 4.5-hour operation. The surgery was performed by Dr. Karen Nielsen, a close friend of mine from high school and whom I'd lost touch with since my wedding 17 years ago. Right before the operation, I stopped by the toilet to pee and just because I could, I walked into the OR (operating room) and then hoisted myself onto the operating table. ("Wouldn't expect anything less from you, Lori," a friend remarked when I told her this story later). I recall pop music playing through a speaker somewhere and though I was already feeling the effects of anesthesia, I told Karen, "If you could play me some Maroon 5 please, I'd love it." Immediately, I heard the familiar strains of "Sugar" streaming into the room. "Ah Karen, that's more like it," I mumbled before drifting away.
Karen was already brilliant back in high school but now, she's beyond exceptional. As a doctor who topped the medical boards in 2004, she's masterful with a scalpel and is a highly respected surgeon. Karen saved my life and I continue to trust her with my life.
I'm also grateful to Dr. Joel Unson who reconnected me with Karen. An old high school friend of my Bin, he was present at my MRM and visited me during both of my surgeries. Joel is one of the country's top plastic and reconstructive surgeons – models from all over the world fly in to have work done by him – and I know he's more than capable of giving me the "boobs I've always wanted." When I cheekily told him once, "I want my A-cup back, Joel," he rolled his eyes and scoffed, "Don't waste my time, Lori. It's a B-cup or bigger!" It's a hilarious inside joke we repeat whenever we see each other.
Overflowing love and support
Because I'm a very private person, I was very careful about who I chose to tell about my diagnosis – my family of course, and a select group of very close friends. My parents however, felt it was best to flood heaven with prayer petitions, and proceeded to tell everyone they knew about my condition and to please, please pray for me. "You must've told the whole country, Pa!" I lightly chided my dad one time. "Half the planet actually," he chuckled in reply.
My dear friend, Patty, flew in from the United States to see me the day after my mastectomy. A classmate of mine from culinary school and a dear friend, people who know us say that we're actually one and the same person, from our blunt-as-balls attitude to the boisterous laugh.
I received numerous get well soon cards, flowers, text messages and emails – declarations of continuous prayers from people I love and even from people who barely knew me. My dear friend, Patty, even flew in all the way from Los Angeles to be by my side. Read her blog post about her visit back to Manila and seeing me.
Some of the get well cards I received and my beloved Sleeping St Joseph statue. Below, some food gifts that boosted my flagging spirits.
I especially loved the gifts of food I received after coming home from the hospital: flowers, baskets of fruit, loaves of bread, chocolate cake, and pints of artisan ice cream. My heart swelled with gratitude. And when people found out that St. Joseph was my favorite saint – I've been praying to him since I was 12 – I received four statues of the Sleeping St Joseph.
Truth be told, though I'm now hairless and (one) breast less, I'm the same Lori I was before my diagnosis, still wildly witty, still dessert-obsessed.
On May 2, to celebrate DCF's 10th anniversary, two of my closest friends, Kaie and Bal, took me to lunch.
While I'm deeply appreciative of the concern and support I continue to receive, some friends chose to peace out on me. "I don't know how to act around you," I'm told as they exit from my life. I was disappointed and hurt at first but people react to shock differently and a cancer patient isn't someone everyone is comfortable cozying up to. Truth be told, though I'm now hairless and (one) breast less, I'm the same Lori I was before my diagnosis, still wildly witty and dessert-obsessed.
Month of healing
In the month that I had after my mastectomy and leading up to my first cycle of chemo, I concentrated on getting stronger. The axillary lymph node dissection had left my right arm numb and painful, so I diligently did and continue to do exercises to strengthen it and prevent lymphedema (swelling of the arm when [some] lymph nodes are removed as part of cancer treatment). Three weeks after surgery – again, just because I could – I'd bypass the hospital elevators and climb up to 12 flights of stairs whenever I'd shuttle from one doctor to another. I also resumed my workouts but because of my still-tender right arm, doing jumping jacks and the downward dog yoga pose was near impossible, my efforts, laughable. Sports apparel manufacturers should seriously consider making sports bras that zip in the front for women like me who can't raise their arms fully; I have better things to do than trying to slither into a sports bra.
On my newest "accessory" and chemo
My Port-a-cath looks like something straight out of a sci-fi flick but it's saving my life. It's my latest accessory and an excellent conversation piece.
After consulting with Dr. Gary Lorenzo, my oncologist (a doctor specializing in cancer treatment), I decided to have another surgery exactly a month after my mastectomy, this time to install a port in my chest, Often called a Port-a-cath (portable catheter), it's a quarter-sized disc positioned under my skin that's attached to my jugular vein through a catheter. The port facilitates my chemo treatments and spares me the agony of regular IV insertions and collapsed veins. During chemo, a special needle "volts in" – as my Bin describes it – right into the port, and because the vein is so large and is connected directly to my heart, the chemo meds are dispersed quickly into my system.
As the date of my first chemotherapy session neared, my mind took me to frightening places. I feared chemo more than my two surgeries. Overcome by anxiety and always close to tears, I flirted (dangerously!) with the idea of not doing chemo, until that idea was swiftly vetoed by the two most important men in my life – my Bin and my dad.
My chemo sessions last about three hours and, without getting too technical, consist of a series of meds that are pumped into me through a machine via my Port-a-cath. My Bin says that it all looks very impressive, I think it's surreal. I'm eternally grateful to Dr. Lorenzo and his oncology team who are all highly proficient and make me feel well cared for.
Chemo really does a number on my tastebuds: I drink vinegar by the cupful to mask the constant metallic taste in my mouth. My friend, Kaie, keeps me stocked with lots of sour stuff. Here, preserved yuzu, Japanese citrus, and below, preserved ginger and sour plums.
The wild ride
It's said that reality is never as dark as the places your mind visits in anticipation, and I'd like to believe that that's true. But while my chemo sessions are largely peaceful, the after effects are anything but. I'm bloated and riddled with dizziness and because of the severe nausea, I spend a lot of time staring into the depths of my toilet bowl. It's there where my anger and grief bubble up to the surface, unbidden, just like my tears. It's these days after chemo that I feel my life ebbing away, dying a little so I can live a little longer. Satiated only by foods that are sour (fresh tamarind and cups of vinegar) or salty (sinigang na bangus), I slip into self-pity and wonder if I can survive this. Then I remember Dr. Ramon Diaz, the cardiac surgeon who installed my Port-a-cath. "You have to be ALL IN when it comes to your cancer treatment, Lori," he exhorted. "There can be no wavering."
Let's talk about food
Everyone has their own cancer story to tell, and because of this, some people think they know all about cancer and what feeds it:
Dairy is death!
Mushrooms cause mayhem!
And my all-time favorite, "Sugar feeds cancer!"
The most hurtful thing ever said to me was that I got cancer because I ate too many desserts. These are all knee-jerk reactions, pronouncements by ignorant people who have never had cancer. They say these things because they think they know best, and it's what somebody else told them.
The idea that sugar feeds cancer is widely believed by the general public but it's a gross oversimplification. There is no ratio or direct link between sugar – or any other food – and the resulting growth of cancer cells; rather, cancer occurs due to a highly complicated storm of factors unique to every individual – genetics, environment, lifestyle, etc.
Me and my oncologist, Dr. Lorenzo, at the Cancer Center of the Makati Medical Center where I have my chemo sessions. He is the only person I'll listen to when it comes to healing my cancer.
Please, if you're not a medical doctor or you aren't afflicted with cancer, please stop dispensing dietary and medical advice to those of us who are cancer patients.
After much research and consulting with Dr. Lorenzo, I decide to stick to my whole foods/plant-based/dessert diet. A mostly vegetarian eating plan, it's really not that far from how I used to eat even before I got sick. I eat everything in moderation (this is key), but I've given up certain things because I feel they don't serve my body well. Because of its extreme estrogen component, I avoid all tofu and soy products. I don't drink alcohol anymore either, and though I eat fish, I will eat other seafood and meats like beef, pork, and chicken only if my body asks for it, which is very rare now. I believe that it's the (phytochemical) nutrient density and diversity of my diet that offers the most dramatic protection against a cancer recurrence. For everything related to treating my cancer – including what to eat – I will only listen to Dr. Lorenzo. If he tells me to sleep standing up because it will help heal my cancer, then I will!
A life without dessert is not a life I'm interested in living. Dessert is FUN and not fatal, as the flag in photo proclaims.
So, please, if you're not a medical doctor or you aren't afflicted with cancer, please stop dispensing dietary and medical advice to those of us who are cancer patients. The fear brought about by such careless statements is very stressful, the negative health effects of which bring about the exact opposite of the purported benefits of eschewing dairy, mushrooms, sugar, and God-knows-what-else. I know people mean well but I don't buy into the hype. Besides, if I listened to what everyone had to say about what to eat and what to avoid, I wouldn't be left with anything much to eat except maybe, grass.
A life blessed
Though life has hurled one hell of a curveball at me, it's also gifted me with immense clarity. After reading the pathology report of my tumor, one of my doctors told me that if I hadn't moved quickly, I would've been dead in six months to a year. Such a declaration illuminates what's truly important in my life: spending time with the people I love, eating well, and living my life one day at a time. Because that's all I have.
When it came to treating my cancer, I didn't have a choice with many things. But I chose to shave my head to save myself the heartbreak of seeing my hair fall off because of chemo. So we made a day of it. Here I am with my Bin and my best friend Bal, showing off our newly-shorn heads last May. Gal pal Kaie, took the photo. My Bin's hair has grown back and at my request, he's keeping it long, but Bal insists he'll stay bald for as long as I am too.
And because I'm now bald, I'm always on the lookout for fierce and fashionable head wraps. Here are some of my favorites.
As I go about living and healing, I'm awed by how very, very blessed I am. My family's love is boundless, and their constant support bolsters my spirit. My in-laws rally around me with prayers and give me comfort. I have the greatest friends who make me laugh and who are always game to split a sweet with me. My loyal household staff who've been with me for 17 years ensure I'm always comfortable at home, including my driver who also shaved his head to show his solidarity.
I'm eternally grateful to the doctors and nurses taking care of me, they are exceedingly skilled and compassionate. We have OUTSTANDING medical care in this country, let me tell you. I'll say it again: We have OUTSTANDING medical care in this country.
Boo and I took a vegan cooking class together. She'd crossed out the tofu in her recipe notes because "tofu's not good for you Mom, and I won't eat it either."
My 13-year old daughter, Boo, is my guardian angel. She's a pillar of strength and wise beyond her years. Since my diagnosis, she's mindful of what I eat – "is there estrogen in any of these dishes, Mom?" She's especially sensitive to how I feel – "how are you today, Mom?", and she tucks me in when I'm reeling from the effects of chemo.
Someone once asked me, "What are the bad days like?" The answer: I cry, primal wails that penetrate my heart, sobs that rip through my very core. The only person who's seen me like this is my Bin, the man whom I want to live another 10 lifetimes with. No husband should have to see his wife endure cancer but he is doing it with composure and equanimity. "I just want to get you better," he whispers in my ear as he wipes away my tears and hugs me tightly.
For all these people I am grateful.
Cancer conqueror : yup, that will soon be me.
Healing and living
My Tito Manny is an oncologist who lives in Michigan. His advice and assurance has guided and girded me since the very beginning. When I'm ensnared in the claws of utter despair he remarks, "It's okay to struggle. Sometimes, accepting that you are having a terrible time is better than fighting it and trying to stay positive. It really is not easy."
And just like that, I come upon the strength that my Bin assures me I'd one day find: yes, I'm having a really rough time but I'm doing the best I can.
Looking back at how I've lived my life, I have no regrets because I know that I've taken care of my body and now it's taking care of me. When I am – dare I say it? – healed of my cancer, I will think of something else to call myself instead of "cancer survivor." I dislike how that term implies victimization, and not once have I felt that I was a victim in any of this. Even when I had a tumor in my breast, I chose not to see it as evil, only as something that needed to be removed. Again, a deliberate effort on my part to be calm and hopeful because it enables me to better deal with my situation.
Right now, I'm really liking the sound of "cancer conqueror" and "cancer vanquisher." So I'm raising my dessert plate as my fervent wish to hoping big and healing completely because as a friend said, "You've still got a lot of desserts left to eat, Lori."

Nirnaeth Arnoediad
|Nirnaeth Arnoediad
|Conflict: Fifth Battle of the Wars of Beleriand
|Date: F.A. 472
|Place: Anfauglith
|Outcome: Decisive victory for Morgoth, partly due to treachery: depopulation of Hithlum with replacement by Easterlings, occupation of much of Beleriand
Hosts of Angband and Easterlings
Noldor of Hithlum, Sindar of Mithrim, Edain warriors of Dor-lómin, 10,000 Gondolindrim[1], a company of Elves from Nargothrond, company of Haladin from Brethil, Dwarves of Belegost, and Easterlings from the House of Bór
Multiple hosts consisting of Balrogs, Orcs, and trolls; supplemented by turncoat Easterlings
Huge and crippling to the Noldor, Men of Dor-lómin wiped out except Húrin, thousands of captives
[edit] Background
- Main article: Union of Maedhros
In the almost two decades since their defeat in the Dagor Bragollach, the Noldor had lost control over the entire north of Beleriand, and were, for the most part, reduced to refugees dwelling in Hithlum and Nargothrond. Gondolin was shut up and unknown.
In the year F.A. 473, Maedhros decided that taking the offence against Angband might help the Noldor regain their former lands.
[edit] Opposing Forces and Strategy
Under the Union of Maedhros all the Elves of Beleriand, as well as the Edain, Dwarves, and the newly arrived Easterlings were invited to combine in arms and fight Morgoth. The Union first cleared Beleriand and Dorthonion of Orcs and then gathered to assault Thangorodrim.
The plan was for Maedhros's host in the east to assault and draw out the army of Angband, after which Fingon's host would attack from the Ered Wethrin, taking the offensive in the west, crushing Morgoth's forces between them.
Under Maedhros in the east were gathered the remainder of the sons of Fëanor, the Elves and Men of Himring under Maedhros and Bór, and the men of Amon Ereb under Caranthir and Ulfang.
Under Fingon in the west were gathered the Elves and Men of Hithlum, the Elves of the Falas, the Haladin of Brethil and the companies sent from Nargothrond and the two elves of Doriath, Beleg and Mablung.
Because of the evil deeds of Celegorm and Curufin, two of Maedhros's brothers, Nargothrond would send only a small company of Elves under Gwindor. From Doriath, where Thingol had sworn never to fight beside any son of Fëanor, came only Mablung and Beleg, who did not wish to remain behind. However, Turgon unexpectedly came forth with over ten thousand Elves from Gondolin, doubling the force of the west.
[edit] The Battle
But Morgoth through his spies had learned of the battle plan, and his spy Ulfang, who betrayed the Noldor, delayed Maedhros' attack. A small host of Orcs sallied forth from Angband to provoke the Western host to attack. Within sight of the Ered Wethrin, Gwindor's brother Gelmir, captured during the Dagor Bragollach, was brought forth, and brutally slain. Enraged, Gwindor broke ranks and charged along with his men. From their hidden positions in the eastern hills, Fingon's forces suddenly charged along with them. The Orc host was taken by surprise and swiftly defeated, and the sudden charge of Fingon's army nearly foiled Morgoth's plans; the forces of Gwindor and Fingon pushed forth, reaching Angband itself.
Morgoth shook upon this throne as Gwindor's company pounded at his gates above. They burst through, and slew the guards on the steps of Angband itself, though Morgoth had trapped them. They were then ambushed with hidden forces set about Angband; all of Gwindor's company was slain and Gwindor himself was captured. From clandestine gates around Angband, thousands of Orcs erupted suddenly, repulsing the host of Fingon from the walls. The Elven army was driven back in great slaughter, and many Haladin fell fighting in the rearguard.
Turgon, who had withheld his host from the reckless charge, now came upon the Orc host. The phalanx of Turgon broke through the Angband lines, and met with the guard of Fingon.
Finally, Maedhros arrived, but before he could make junction with Fingon and Turgon, Glaurung the dragon and Gothmog lord of Balrogs intercepted him. Union forces could yet have prevailed, but Uldor, son of Ulfang and a traitor, turned ranks and attacked Maedhros in the rear, while more of his kin came down from the mountains and attacked from the east. Maglor slew Uldor in single combat, but could not turn the tide of the battle. Under assault from three sides, the eastern host was scattered, and only the valour of the Dwarves of Belegost helped them escape, as their lord Azaghâl and his forces held off Glaurung, allowing the sons of Fëanor to escape into Ossiriand.
Azaghâl and his army fought with fierce iron masks on, and they were able to resist the fire far better than any Elf or Man. Then Glaurung trampled Azaghâl beneath his feet, but Azaghâl ran a dagger through Glaurung's stomach, and the dragon fled in pain. Many of Morgoth's forces retreated with him. In a solemn ceremony, the Dwarves picked up their fallen leader, abandoning the battle, and marched him home in a great procession. Their wrath was so great that none troubled them.
All this had not helped the western host, who were attacked by many Orcs under Gothmog. Gothmog cut a path to Fingon and fought him in single combat. Fingon fell under his might, and Húrin begged Turgon to retreat back to Gondolin. Huor and Húrin and the remaining Men of Dor-lómin formed a living wall across the Fen of Serech, buying time for Turgon to escape with most of the surviving Elves of the north. Acting as a rearguard, these Men were almost all slain – Huor fell when his eye was pierced by a poisoned arrow. His brother Húrin fought ferociously to buy his allies time to escape, fighting until his axe withered away. Morgoth had ordered him to be taken alive, however; he killed no fewer than seventy Orcs and Trolls before he became pinned under their corpses, and was later taken prisoner by Gothmog.
[edit] Aftermath and Repercussions
Morgoth's victory was near complete, as he had destroyed all the people of Hithlum and had scattered the sons of Fëanor away from Himring. Morgoth's Orcs razed all of Beleriand except for Doriath, which was still protected by the Girdle of Melian, and sacked the havens of the Falas.
Morgoth betrayed his servants the Easterlings, shutting them in Hithlum under penalty of death, and denied to them the fertile lands of Beleriand. Morgoth's destruction was not entirely complete, however, for Turgon, now High King of the Ñoldor after the death of Fingon, had evaded capture, and his city Gondolin was still unknown to Morgoth. While the Union's attack inflicted fairly heavy losses on Morgoth's forces, this was largely irrelevant compared to how utterly Morgoth had broken the power of so many of his enemies in the battle. His armies would take time to regain their former strength, however, and thus he remained dormant once more for some time, seeking out the hidden city of Gondolin and the last bastion of his enemies. Gwindor himself was one of few prominent survivors of the battle and was enslaved in Morgoth's mines for fourteen years before finally escaping. He returned and warned the King of Nargothrond that Ulmo had advised against fighting open war with Morgoth; the King did not heed his advice, however, and at the Battle of Tumhalad, followed by the Sack of Nargothrond, the Elves there were completely eradicated.
The Ñoldor ultimately recovered from the battle but remained hidden within Gondolin away from Morgoth's wrath, where they stayed clandestine and defensively rebuilt their forces. It wasn't until some 38 years after Nirnaeth Arnoediad that Morgoth obtained the location of Gondolin, and besieged it in order to finalize his annihilation of the Ñoldor and to cement his domination of Middle-earth.
Morgoth had personally laid waste to Ard-Galen, turning it into a dust-choked wasteland of fire and poisonous gas, known from then on as Anfauglith. It was here that many Elves and Men were slain and thrown into great piles on a hill in the midst of the desolate landscape; referred to as the Hill of Slain by the Elves, grass grew on that hill long after the battle but nowhere else in Anfauglith.
[edit] Etymology
Nirnaeth (or Nírnaeth) Arnoediad (or Arnediad) is Sindarin for "Tears Uncountable".[2][3]
Note that the "oe" of "Arnoediad" is not the Sindarin diphthong "oe", but rather the single umlaut vowel "œ", better represented with a digraph.[4]

Nestle Loses 16-Year Legal Battle, Can't Trademark Shape of Kit Kats
Although Nestle might have asked the European Court of Justice to give them a break, the judgement was not in their favor. After a 16-year legal battle to trademark the shape of the Kit Kat bar, the court confirmed a lower tribunal's decision to annul Nestle's claim. This is sweet news for competitor brands who make identically shaped treats such as Cadbury and Norway's Kvikk Lunsj.
According to BBC News, in 2002 Nestle attempted to trademark the "four trapezoidal bars aligned on a rectangular base" that make the shape of a Kit Kat. In 2006, the EU's Intellectual Property Office granted the trademark. However, Kvikk Lunsj (pronounced "quick lunch") and Mondelez International (which owns Cadbury, Milka, Oreo, and Toblerone) fired back in 2007, as the brands have their own four-fingered chocolate bars. That lasted all the way until 2016, when a lower EU court decided that Nestle had to prove Kit Kat was recognizable in every EU country. The BBC reports that no evidence was presented for Belgium, Ireland, Greece, and Portugal.
On July 25 2018, the European Court of Justice decided to back the 2016 decision, which means the trademark's validity will be re-examined under strict conditions, Bloomberg reports. A Nestle representative told the publication that it remains optimistic about the uniqueness of its Kit Kat shape. "We think the evidence proves that the familiar shape of our iconic four finger KitKat is distinctive enough to be registered as an EU trademark," they said.
The Daily Meal has reached out to both Nestle and Mondelez for comment.
Regardless of shape or imitation, Kit Kats are still one of the most popular snack foods of the last 10 decades.

Unless you were dead this morning, you've heard the news – Disney has bought Marvel Comicsfor four billion dollars. Cue the speculation machines and "lolz Spaderman vs Mickey moose" arguments, right?
Rather than tread that well-worn territory, we're going to attempt to divide this mega-deal into the pros and cons for both Disney and Marvel. As you might imagine, there are widespread repercussions for gamers, moviegoers, comics fans, animation geeks, just about anyone who follows anything, honestly. So then, let's get to it.
Contributing editors: Chris Antista and Brett Elston
Marvel Comics: Pros
Immediate animation benefits – As dear as the '90s X-Men and Spider-Man cartoons are to an entire generation (including most GR editors), they pale when compared to DC's animated offerings. Even recent series like Wolverine and the X-Men don't stand up to DC classics like Batman: The Animated Series. However, now that Marvel's treasure chest of 5000-ish characters belongs to Disney, expect to see a surge of high-quality superhero animation, be it in the form of daily shows or, in our wildest dreams, a full-on Pixar film starring Marvel's best characters. Wrangling different heroes into one movie is difficult enough, but when they each have special-effects-heavy powers that drive up budgets in a matter of seconds, animated alternatives start making a lot more financial sense.
An industry expert to guide their franchises - Nothing soothes our fears more than knowing John Lasseter, the producer or director of every Pixar and Disney movie you've cared about in the past 10 years, has near-complete control over Disney's creative output. Now that Marvel is included in that umbrella of production, Lasseter will undoubtedly be roped into meetings regarding Marvel's next big thing.
A single home for their films – Marvel's heroes have been loaned out to various companies over the years, including Fox (X-Men, Fantastic Four), Sony (Spider-Man, Ghost Rider) and Universal (Hulk). As any reader of comics knows, the real treat is when these heroes meet, fight or team up, and with so many studios arguing over who should be paid for what, the possibility of Spidey teaming up with Wolverine was exceedingly unlikely. After the Marvel/Disney deal finalizes and all these prior deals dissolve (assuming Disney doesn't allow them to be renewed), all Marvel properties could exist under one roof, with no petty squabbling over who owns what.
Paramount and Marvel Studios still have five films to burn through, Sony still has the rights to a few more Spider-Man movies and Fox already has three X-Men-related flicks in the works too, so it could very well be 10 years before this fantasy scenario becomes reality.
Kingdom Hearts?- It's no secret that the Final Fantasy aspect of Kingdom Hearts has dissipated with each new entry. The newest game, 358/2 Days, barely has any mention of Square's eminent property at all. Is it possible that we could one day see the Kingdom Hearts crew visit the Marvel Universe? Could we play a team that's Donald, Goofy and the Hulk? As silly as it sounds, our geek boners are ridiculously into the idea.
Above: Remember, everyone thought Disney meeting Final Fantasy was stupid too
What happens to the games? – Disney Interactive is not large enough to fully handle the myriad Marvel games that release each year, from Ultimate Alliance to the numerous movie tie-ins. Will Disney wrench the franchises back from Activision, THQ and Sega, or will it allow these well-known and beloved series to continue with some kind of Disney payoff? We want to think that Disney's a savvy company and won't fiddle too much with Marvel's goings on (Warner Bros owning DC Comics hasn't altered a great deal, after all), but the prospect of piles of cash is enough to make anyone behave like a giant corporate dick.
According to an earlier conference call, Disney will reevaluate existing license deals as they expire. Those prior arrangements won't be completely void until 2019 though, so it appears the near future of Marvel games is unchanged. That said, this quotefrom Disney's CFO doesn't bode well: "As the current agreements in place sunset we will look to exploit the library of characters more broadly." Uh oh.
Wait… what about Marvel vs Capcom 3?- There's been no official announcement regarding our most anticipated fighter of the new millennium, but after witnessing the fervor over MvC2's recent XBLA and PSN release, not to mention Marvel and Capcom's individual successes at the moment, it's absurd to think there isn't a deal in the works. However, now Capcom has to contend with Disney regarding any future use of Marvel's characters, so this once-likely dream match may never happen. That, or it becomes Marvel vs Disney vs Capcom… which we're cool with too.
Oh right, the comics- Disney Comics (the company) has had arough-ass timein the US the past 20 years or so. Seems that no one really wants to read comics based around Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse, or even High School Musical, which adorned the very last issue of Disney Adventures, a Disney propaganda magazine that ran for 17 years and died in 2007. Knowing that Disney can't manage its own shit properly, will it hover over Marvel EIC Joe Quesada and run the comics into the ground too? Or will it alter Marvel's deal with the near-monopolistic Diamond Comics Distributors? We think not, but there's always the chance that some muckity muck will have a "better way" to run a comics company that's survived for 70 years on its own steam. Well, barring that bit of bankruptcy in 1998.
On the plus side, maybe this will give Marvel a better shot in the global comics market, as Disney's worldwide presence is significantly more pronounced.

Web Site: http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~sheppard/satellites/jup.html
University of Hawaii astronomers announce the discovery of 11 new satellites of Jupiter. These new satellites, when added to the eleven discovered the previous year by the Hawaii team, bring the total of known Jupiter satellites to 39. This is more than any other planet.
The new satellites were discovered during mid-December of 2001 by a team led by Scott S. Sheppard and David Jewitt from the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy and including Jan Kleyna of Cambridge University, England. They used the Canada-France-Hawaii (3.6 meter) telescope with one of the largest digital imaging cameras in the world, the "12K", to obtain sensitive images of a wide area around Jupiter. The digital images were processed using high speed computers and then searched with an efficient computer algorithm. Candidate satellites were monitored in the succeeding months at the University of Hawaii 2.2-meter telescope to confirm their orbits and to reject closer asteroids masquerading as satellites. Orbits of the new satellites were fitted by both Robert Jacobson at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Brian Marsden at the Minor Planet Center. The satellites were formally announced by the International Astronomical Union on Circular No. 7900 (May 16, 2002).
The 11 new objects all belong to the so-called "irregular satellite" class, meaning that they have large semi-major axes, eccentricities and inclinations. All are retrograde (they orbit in the direction opposite to the rotation of the planet), and possess similar semi-major axes (about 300 Jupiter radii or 20 million km) The estimated diameters are between about 2 and 4 kilometers, assuming a 4% albedo. As yet, nothing is known about their surface properties, compositions or densities, but they are presumed to be rocky objects like the asteroids.
The new discoveries bring the known total of Jupiter satellites to 39, of which 31 are irregulars. (The 8 regular satellites include 4 large objects discovered by Galileo and 4 small objects on circular orbits interior to that of Io). Jupiter's nearest rival for having the largest number of known satellites is Saturn, with 30 (of which 13 are irregular).
The large, elongated and inclined orbits of the irregular satellites strongly suggest an origin by capture. Since no efficient contemporary capture mechanisms are known, it is likely that the irregular satellites were acquired when Jupiter was young, possibly still in the process of condensing down to its equilibrium size. The precise mechanism of capture remains unidentified but there are two leading theories for the capture process. In the gas drag hypothesis, passing asteroids are slowed by friction with proto-Jupiter's bloated atmosphere. Those which do not burn up in the atmosphere like meteors are trapped in looping orbits like those of the new satellites. In the mass growth hypothesis, the rapid growth of Jupiter leads to capture of nearby, co-moving planetesimals. Both processes would have operated in the first million years of the solar system.
The irregular satellites are grouped into distinct dynamical families or clusters. This suggests that individual satellites are pieces of a few precursor bodies that have been shattered. The disruptions occurred either during the process of capture or possibly after capture due to collisions with Jupiter-crossing comets. Future measurements of the size distribution, surface properties and orbits of the satellites will help determine how they formed.
The Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii conducts research into galaxies, cosmology, stars, planets, and the Sun. Its faculty and staff are also involved in astronomy education, deep space missions, and in the development and management of the observatories on Haleakala and Mauna Kea.

Do you like The Chemical Brothers? I used to listen to them a lot.
When I was crazy and in high school I saw them in Long Beach in this huge convention center, but we got really close to the stage. It was FREAKING fantastic. I had a great time, they are a great show and they always remind me of the nerd guy on X-files. :)

Cardnetics brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 156 Designs von 29 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
I make novelty business cards (soon expanding to greeting cards) that I sell through my website http://cardnetics.com
I've been selling these cards for about a year, and I've used a couple different logos that I threw together myself, but would like to get something better before I start selling my next design.
My current products launch projectiles, but not all of my future cards will so avoid using that as a logo theme.
People who like fun, unique, and unconventional products.
"Cardnetics" is one word. It doesn't matter to me if the "Card" part is styled slightly different than the "netics", but it should be clear that it is one word.
Feel free to use your own judgment with colors. It doesn't need to fit into my current website design.
Ideally the logo would also look good in a single color and be simple enough to be made into a stamp. Something that wouldn't be out of place on the back of a greeting card, but that is not an absolute requirement. In general I am a fan of simple and clear.
Do not use gears as part of the logo
Update (also posted in comments):
If your design uses a card as part of the logo I would prefer that it be a flat card like a business card and not a traditional folding greeting card. Although I am expanding into greeting cards they will not be that style and my primary business right now is business cards. Also it would be preferred that the card(s) have a 7:4 aspect ratio to match the 3.5"x2" business card that is typical in the US. A card is NOT required to be in the design, but it just happens that my favorites so far have included cards.
I'm not a big fan of gradients and glossy effects. Unless you feel like those things are essential to your design it would probably be better to leave them out.

Aug. 7, 2013 — Organic solar cells, a new class of solar cell that mimics the natural process of plant photosynthesis, could revolutionise renewable energy — but currently lack the efficiency to compete with the more costly commercial silicon cells.
Now, researchers have discovered that manipulating the 'spin' of electrons in these solar cells dramatically improves their performance, providing a vital breakthrough in the pursuit of cheap, high performing solar power technologies.
The study, by researchers from the Universities of Cambridge and Washington, is published today in the journal Nature, and comes just days after scientists called on governments around the world to focus on solar energy with the same drive that put a man on the moon, calling for a "new Apollo mission to harness the sun's power."
Organic solar cells replicate photosynthesis using large, carbon-based molecules to harvest sunlight instead of the inorganic semiconductors used in commercial, silicon-based solar cells. These organic cells can be very thin, light and highly flexible, as well as printed from inks similar to newspapers — allowing for much faster and cheaper production processes than current solar cells.
But consistency has been a major issue. Scientists have, until now, struggled to understand why some of the molecules worked unexpectedly well, while others perform indifferently.
Researchers from Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory developed sensitive laser-based techniques to track the motion and interaction of electrons in these cells. To their surprise, the team found that the performance differences between materials could be attributed to the quantum property of 'spin'.
'Spin' is a property of particles related to their angular momentum, with electrons coming in two flavours, 'spin-up' or 'spin-down'. Electrons in solar cells can be lost through a process called 'recombination', where electrons lose their energy — or "excitation" state — and fall back into an empty state known as the "hole."
Researchers found that by arranging the electrons 'spin' in a specific way, they can block the energy collapse from 'recombination' and increase current from the cell.
"This discovery is very exciting, as we can now harness spin physics to improve solar cells, something we had previously not thought possible. We should see new materials and solar cells that make use of this very soon" said Dr. Akshay Rao, a Research Fellow at the Cavendish Laboratory and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, who lead the study with colleagues Philip Chow and Dr. Simon Gélinas.
The Cambridge team believe that design concepts coming out of this work could help to close the gap between organic and silicon solar cells, bringing the large-scale deployment of solar cells closer to reality. In addition, some of these design concepts could also be applied to Organic Light Emitting diodes, a new and rapidly growing display technology, allowing for more efficient displays in cell phones and TVs

Imagine planting a tree in your backyard and it remains green all year round. That is not the norm in the Northeast. Evergreen trees have a lot of appeal because of the fact that they keep their leaves year-round. No matter how hot or cold it is outside evergreens are a great addition to your home's landscaping. They provide privacy, beauty and there is a large variety to choose from for your landscaping needs. When looking for evergreen trees, there is no need to search for any Long Island wholesale nursery for the right evergreen trees. Cypress Tree King is here to help you plant, grow and maintain your evergreen trees year-round.
On Nassau and Suffolk county, finding the right wholesale trees for sale can be a lot of work for someone that does not know what kind of evergreen trees they want. Evergreen trees for sale vary because there are different types of evergreen trees. Finding out which one satisfies your landscaping needs requires expert advice.
Which one should I get?
Knowing the chances of survival of your evergreen trees should be one of the deciding factors of buying your evergreen trees. Since there are many types of evergreen trees, knowing which climates that best suit your needs are essential. There are tropical evergreens and there are evergreen trees that are better suited in drier climates. Once you have figured out what kind of evergreen trees best works for your yard, you need to know what kind of soil, and ph will be best for its growth and survival.
Why do they stay green all the time?
Evergreen trees keep their lush, green color all year because they shed their leaves gradually. Many trees in the Northeast lose their leaves all at once, which explains the naked, bare trees and twigs we see in the winter. Since evergreens do not shed their leaves all at once, there is still plenty of green leftovers that hasn't fallen off yet. Their leaves have a thick, leathery texture, unlike deciduous trees (trees that shed their leaves in the fall or winter).
Evergreen tree facts
Evergreen trees are found in every continent except for Antartica. There is thousands of species of evergreens including palm trees and cypress trees but there are thousands of species of evergreens throughout the earth. Evergreen trees usually grow and thrive in partial to full sunlight; many do not do well in the shade. Since there are so many different species, they all require different types of care. There are some that are tropical and need to be watered more than ones that thrive in a drought. Coniferous (needle-shaped or scalelike leaves) usually do better when they are in dry, well-soiled soil, versus tropical rainforest evergreens that need soggy soil and consistently warm temperatures to thrive.
Care practices
Depending on which evergreen trees you choose, know that one of the benefits of evergreen trees is that they don't require too much pruning. Older evergreen trees should be pruned just to help them maintain their health. Cutting off the dead branches, and cutting away water spouts that can potentially affect the overall health of your evergreen trees. One of the best ways to maintain your evergreen trees is by fertilizing them. Keeping them fertilized protects them from disease, and helps them maintain their beauty and overall health.
When deciding which evergreen tree best suits your needs, keep in mind what uses you want and need from them. Are you looking for complete privacy and want to keep your home virtually hidden away? Are you looking for a barrier that can protect you and your home against the wind? Having trees that are used as windshields are great ways to contribute to lowering your overall energy bill.
Before Christianity, ancient people hung evergreen boughs on their doors to ward off witches, spirits, and ghosts.
What to be aware of when buying your evergreens
Knowing certain things such as how much sunlight am I able to provide my tree? What kind of soil is needed to ensure and maintain its health? How much space is available when you're looking to plant multiples.
There are evergreens that are best suited for the northeastern climate. They may live in a tropical setting. Evergreens such as red pine, weeping white spruce, and Russian cypress are great examples of pine trees that will thrive in the fickle weather of the northeast.
Why search high and low for evergreen trees for sale when Nassau and Suffolk County residents have a one-stop shop for their tree needs. Cypress Tree King is the top choice for your evergreen tree needs. You no longer need to try to find a Long Island wholesale nursery for wholesale trees for sale.

Hey all,
Okay, we won't know for a week whether these will be castle-relevant, but MisaQa has hinted that her 2008 Advent Calendar will be "about fantasy", and she has a silhouette of a unicorn.
For those who don't know her work, for the past three years MisaQa has produced advent calendars, showcasing a new MOC in a chosen theme each day of December up to Christmas. In 2005 it was birds, in 2006 miniland scale dolls and in 2007 microscale town. Her calendars have become one of my favorite LEGO traditions, and I'm really hoping that "about fantasy" will be up our alley.

headband: babooshka boutique
glasses: girlprops
bikini top: matalan
bikini bottoms: primark
ring: H&M
Not loving how shapeless and weird the sarong/scarf looks in these pictures, but trust me, it looks alot better in real life. I've been practically living in this sarong and my shorts that I posted two outfit posts ago! I've been experimenting with various ways to tie sarongs over the last few days. This is probably my favourite, just simply tied round the bust and then knotted a few times at the front. I bought this thinking it was a scarf, and bought it with me on holiday to wear on the plane. We all know I have a serious leopard print addiction! So it seemed like a perfect inter-seasonal piece, well that's what I told myself!
Oh, I got a email the other day from the H&M mailing list saying that they are opening a online H&M store for the UK in September! Which is absolutely amazing! As much as I love H&M I find it hard to look for things in store because everything like... put together on the shelves. Like its not like one t-shirt on one rack, one dress on one rack. Its all bunched together and its so easy to miss things! I find myself shuffling through the rails to find things which frustrates me! Also H&M may have to sort their sizing out a little before I'd feel really comfortable buying online with them. However, its good news, I've been wanting a online H&M for yonks, so I'm pleased!
I feel so Frassy right now! Seriously I may as well be Audery in these pictures, Which was my intention but she has serious style, So if you don't follow her I defiantly would go and do it!
I cant wait to come home. Its starting to grate on me right now, Its getting too hot, even though its boiling at home. Its also annoying being with the family 24/7, and I relish the fact I can spend a good 30 mins alone while being on the internet! Oh well, two days till I leave, 3 till Im home!

Just landed in Kolkata after a super time in Bangalore.
The 3i team is travelling to a number of cities to interact with audiences across the country. Bangalore was the first stop and we had such a lovely time there. The entire team joins me in thanking Bangalore, and all of you who were there at the mall, to give us so much love and affection. It was really overwhelming. Thank you.
The sad note in our happiness was the untimely demise the next day of super star Vishnuvardhan. Mr Vishnuvardhan who is a huge star in Karnataka and has had a prolific career was only 59. Our condolences to his family, to all those who love him, and to all of Karnatka for whom he is such an icon. May his soul rest in peace.
We have now reached Kolkatta and we are all looking forward to meeting our audience here. Kolkata has always been a place I have loved and I am very happy to be back.
One word of caution to all those who come to meet and see us at the venue, please be careful not to hurt yourselves. I always worry that some kid will get trampled in the chaos. There are ladies, girls, kids and elderly people in the crowd, and I would not ever like it to become a mob situation or a stampede where someone gets hurt. I know that everyone gets excited and we love that, but in all the excitement I dont want anyone to get hurt. Please be rest assured that we have come to see you, and are there for you, and please be relaxed about it.
Today of course is the last day of the year, its been a very good year for me and I am very grateful for that. I want to thank each and every one of you for the wonderful things that you have said about the film. Raju, Vinod and the entire team have been reading my blog and are very moved, and join me in thanking you. My sincere good wishes to all of us for a great new year ahead. Have a blast.
Lots of love.

I realise newtek aren't always forward in talking openly abt forthcoming design decisions with their gear, but...
Is there any intention or any discussion hinting to release a vers. of talkshow that runs via webrtc rather then being based on the Skype platform?
Webrtc can be used without the need to install any software or app on a device and uses nothing more than a web browser.

|Kottarashky & The Rain Dogs Cats, dogs and ghosts (CD)
|Kottarashky is back with album number three, this time taking us deep into a New York district called Sofia and introducing us to its street corners brimming with rock, blues, Balkan-style funk and jazz-flavoured rhythms. At first, "Cats, Dogs and Ghosts" sounds as if the band has set out on the road to rock 'n' roll. But then Kottarashky sets the pace with those tight groove collages and Balkan samples we're familiar with.
Released by Asphalt Tango Records, 2016, Format: CD

Forum Post: Frederick Douglass Day: Time to Give Credit Where It's Due

Frederick Douglass Day: Time to Give Credit Where It's Due
Thursday, 14 February 2013 14:53 By Joel Boyce, Care2 | Op-Ed
Frederick Douglass was born into slavery on (or around) Valentine's Day in 1818. In his 70-odd years of life, he escaped his captivity, became one of the most outspoken opponents of slavery, and ultimately lived to see its abolishment. After Abraham Lincoln's assassination, Douglas was reputed to have received the late president's favorite walking stick from his widow.
It's said that history is written by the winners. History is also written by those in power, those with privilege, those who have not been disenfranchised. Douglass was a counter-point to that trend, writing two autobiographies and becoming a great enough orator that his voice could not be ignored completely. Few of his brothers and sisters in bondage would have been able to read, but Douglass, born into that life, was an accomplished writer.
White slaveholders and defenders of slavery were using everything from scriptural interpretation to bad science to protect their interests in that "most unusual institution" of the American South. One of their major arguments was that black slaves were clever animals, not actually capable of human intelligence. Douglass, smarter than all of them, demolished that argument simply by existing, but he took the time to explain exactly what was wrong with treating people as property – you know, for the slower students.
I think it's worth noting how truly exceptional an individual Douglass really was. There's a kind of historical chauvinism where we look back at places, times and events in history, with our 20/20 hindsight, modern education and all the benefits of being born now, rather than just about any other point in the past. People say, "why didn't the Jews fight back when they were being carted off to Auschwitz?" or "I never would have put up with being a slave." They also take the moral high ground: "I never would have supported Hitler" and "I wouldn't have been a plantation owner."
The truth is that now and in the past, most of us tend to follow the path of least resistance and do whatever everyone else is doing. Questioning the status quo is something the more thoughtful among us do, and actually doing something about it? You have to be rather courageous to blaze a trail for social change. No one wants to be the first to step out of line.
Amidst a chorus of praise for Lincoln, Steven Spielberg's latest opus, there are a few dissenting voices. The screenplay's first draft (written in 2001) actually focused on the friendship between the president and Douglass, but after rewrites and casting and filming, somehow this crucial black leader ended up disappearing from the movie. It wasn't only Douglass whose contributions were written out of this story. According to historian Kate Masur, an active and well-organized black political presence in the DC area that the real Lincoln would have been well-acquainted with in the months leading up to his death are also conspicuously absent from the film.
There's a degree of revisionist history here, which scholars of the last several decades have been working to correct. The traditional version of what happened is that important white people, like Lincoln, had a crisis of conscience, decided slavery was wrong, and, after one bloody war, presented freedom to African Americans as a gift on a silver platter. But of course Lincoln, while he did fight to end slavery by peaceful means for most of his career leading up to the Civil War, was also very clear about his priorities.
If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union.
Douglass himself was critical of Lincoln for being so late to the game with emancipation, so while he called him the greatest American president (and he may still be the greatest president, to date), it may have been at least somewhat along the lines of democracy not being a very good system, but better than all the alternatives. Yes, in the end he got the job done, but far from being a white knight, riding to moral rescue at any cost, he was a decent but very human individual who understood politics, made compromises and took those final crucial steps only when he was forced to. So how come Lincoln gets a movie and Douglass doesn't even get a bit part in it?
I have my suspicions. Certainly, Kate Masur got at some of it. But Douglas is at an additional disadvantage. Fairly critical of the church, and basically non-religious, especially when compared to figures like MLK or Malcolm X, many Americans may be a little less apt to put Douglass in a heroic role.
The film Agora, a period piece set in the Ancient Roman Empire, struggled to find a U.S. release, for seemingly much the same reason. Hypatia, an atheist, was martyred by early Roman Christians. Though it was well over a thousand years ago, modern U.S. Christians, it seemed, weren't eager to cheer on the faithless while the bad guys are religious nuts.
So Douglass, a fighter for equal rights, is even still being discriminated against today. Ironically, he was so far ahead of his time that even with all the strides we've made with respect to race, he's managed to bait an entirely different sort of prejudice. Maybe one day we'll be able to leave prejudices of all kinds behind us.

I'm working on a project, and I've hit a roadblock of sorts.
The language of choice here is PHP (4.4)
I have two classes, A and B. B extends A.
"A" has a method, let us call it "addFunc", that takes the names of functions (to be declared in the child) and adds them to an instance variable, funcList.
"B" is nothing but a collection of functions. In it's constructor, it calls addFunc(), passing it a bunch of function names. (e.g., addFunc("func1", "func2"...) )
"A" has another function which executes these functions by going:
Where $args is an array of arguments and $func_name is the string representation of a function from the funcList.Code:call_user_func_array(array(&this, $func_name), $args);
So take note, these functions are in the child...
I'm getting an error in there somewhere, and I have a feeling that may be it, but I'm not sure.

Unemployed and Unattached
Well she's not a tennis player, has never in fact been one, and now she's no longer married to Enrique Iglesias – what will Anna do?
On the eve of the release of his new album, Enrique has revealed that he and Anna are no longer together. Long rumoured to have been married, the two refused to confirm it when they were still a couple. But now that he has a project to promote, and given that his fan base is based solely on the ability to conjure sex through his songs, the mole-less Enrique is reasserting his latin hotness through single status, leaving Anna's future much in doubt.
There is of course the calendar work and the prospect of a minor scandal as a result of possible anorexia, but given that there are models and actresses with legitimate paying gigs sharing the same attributes, the Enrique-less Anna seems just one in a million.
Someone needs a new famous boyfriend.
For your viewing pleasure, an Anna/Enrique PDA retrospective. Love the one where he's digging up into her ass. Hotness.
