False Equivalencies
Every time I see someone make some variation on this point, I'm reminded why I don't pay much attention to a lot of things that are written about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict:
Fun Fact: more Palestinians were killed in Gaza yesterday than Israelis have been killed by projectile fire from Gaza in the past three years.
A little persepctive [sic] for you all.
When you write that the number of casualties is uneven, you're either saying, "The Israeli military has better weapons technology than Hamas," which is so obvious as to be perfectly uninteresting … or else you're saying, "I wish Hamas was better able to kill Israelis so this conflict would be more 'fair,'" which is to actively wish for more civilian deaths.
Why not simply write, "There must be a way for these groups of people to stop murdering each other," and then think about how to best help effect change?
Because it's not a war, Ari. It's a genocide. Pretending the casualties (especially civilian casualties) and armaments of each side are irrelevant is complicity in the genocide of Palestinians. The fact- the verifiable, undeniable fact- that Israel purposefully targeted civilian structures for destruction, purposefully limited food and medicine to civilian population, and kill Palestinian civilians with a regularity that is no where near comparable to the Palestinians barely organized rocket attacks that harm a minuscule fraction of the people that Israeli fired, US made bombs do. Pretending the two are a moral equivalent is roughly the same as pretending someone who threw a hand grenade and someone who dropped a nuclear weapon have the same moral weight to their actions.
To answer your question, we already know how these groups of people can stop murdering each other, and it starts with the government in the area that has most of the weapons (certainly all the effective ones), the government that continues to expand it's borders, the government that limits food and vital resources of it's opposition. Pretending the Palestinians could do anything to end the conflict is absurd, revisionist, and is complicit with the genocide that you're waving away as "perfectly uninteresting".
Maybe you should consider starting to pay attention to more things that are written about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, so that you don't gloss over the obvious- Israel is the only entity with the power to stop the tide of Palestinian civilian casualties.

So excited to see "Silver Linings Playbook" (via Toronto Wrap-up: The Fifteen Best of the Fest — Vulture)
That app that listens to music and tells you what the song is? You don't need it. If you hear a song you dig, but don't know who it is, it's The National.
I use the app, I know. Every time I use it, it's The National. So don't open up Shazam. Just go to itunes or google play and buy a record by The National.

Enigma (1995)
by Robert Harris
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Picked up this novel set in the codebreaking center Bletchley Park during world war II as a follow-up to reading Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. I learnt less than what I had hoped about cryptography. And I do not find historical fiction in which the protagonists contribute major efforts to historical episodes that interesting.
It's 1943 and the vaunted codebreakers at Bletchley Park have run into trouble. The problem with breaking the enemy's codes is that, if you act on information obtained only through the codebreaking, you run the risk of the enemy discovering what you've done and changing the codes. And when the code in question is part of the Enigma system, that makes re-breaking the code even more difficult. In this novel, it is Tom Jericho's task to break the code and help save a North American convoy from destruction. Meanwhile, his girlfriend, Claire Romilly, has disappeared, and given the circumstances of the war that is very suspicious indeed...
Overall I liked this book, although perhaps it required more concentration than I was able to give it. The second half was faster-paced and more riveting than the first, which contained more of the romance bits between Tom and Claire. The descriptions of the codebreaking machines were also interesting and make me want to visit Bletchley Park myself. And while Turing is mentioned frequently, he does not play a major role. If you want Turing-related fiction, try the play Breaking the Code. But for enthusiasts of World War 2 history and the world of codes and ciphers, this is a good bet.
This is my kind of comfort reading: smart characters, historical veracity that doesn't hit you over the head, and excellent pacing. I love this book beyond all reason.
It's my fault and not Robert Harris' that I haven't been able to rate this novel more highly. I bought it a few years ago, on sale at the local bookstore, fresh from having read and enjoyed [b:Imperium|243601|Imperium (Cicero, #1)|Robert Harris|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173066789s/243601.jpg|1237325]. From memory, having seen the movie adaptation a few years previously also influenced my purchase.
The premise is a good one: it's an espionage story set in Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire, which during World War II was the site of the UK's main decryption establishment. This is where ciphers generated by the German Enigma machine were decrypted. There's a fair bit of information about code breaking in the narrative. Unfortunately, I overestimated my ability to understand the process. Harris' presumably simplified version of how it all worked went straight over my head, as did my husband's even more simplified version. Mathematics and my brain are not a good combination, so what is arguably the most interesting aspect of the novel completely escaped me.
What was left was a moderately interesting story with characters I didn't really care about. Towards the end I was skimming and just wanted it to be over so that I could move on to something more engaging. I feel a bit bad about this, because there's nothing wrong with Harris' writing. In fact, his writing is pretty good and I'd be more than happy to read some more of his work. This was just the wrong novel for me. That said, I'm now interested in visiting the museum at Bletchley Park at some point. Maybe if I see an Enigma machine I'll actually understand what encryption and code breaking during WWII was all about.
Well, as a world war enthusiast among other things, I have read a lot about Enigma and its working. It is safe to say that had it not been for Enigma, Germans would have lost the war a great deal earlier and ironically it was due to Enigma that they lost the war, as they thought that its codes were unbreakable.
Robert Harris has definitely done his research well in the fields regarding Enigma and code breaking done at Bletchley Park during World War II, but I had a feeling that it just served as a backdrop for what could be essentially considered as a love story.
The book lacked excitement, which given the backdrop, should not have been the case.
So, if you have watched the 2001 movie of the same name starring Dougray Scott and Kate Winslet, then you are loosing nothing by giving this book a pass.
If you want an alternative, you might want to check out another book called [b:The Enigma|1887173|The Enigma|Michael Barak|http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nocover/60x80.png|6541708] by [a:Michael Barak|1127653|Michael Barak|http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg]. It revolves around stealing Enigma from German hands and while it has some cardboard characters, I found it more memorable than this book.

Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0804115486, Mass Market Paperback)A gripping World War II mystery novel with a cryptographic twist, Enigma's hero is Tom Jericho, a brilliant British mathematician working as a member of the team struggling to crack the Nazi Enigma code. Jericho's own struggles include nerve-wracking mental labor, the mysterious disappearance of a former girlfriend, the suspicions of his co-workers within the paranoid high-security project, and the certainty that someone close to him, perhaps the missing girl, is a Nazi spy. The plot is pure fiction but the historical background, Alan Turing's famous wartime computing project that cracked the German U-boat communications code, is real and accurately portrayed. Enigma is convincingly plotted, forcefully written, and filled with well drawn characters; in short, it's everything a good technomystery should be.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:39:42 -0400)
Tom Jericho has been called out of retirement to join in a race to crack the Nazi's secret code, Enigma, in order to save Allied troops from a deadly German attack.

24 Thanksgiving Ideas, Decorations, Activities & Craft Projects Just for Kids
Thanksgiving can be a tricky holiday with kids - when my family gets together it seems that they come, they eat, and then run like a herd of wild elephants throughout the house. There's no real kid-friendly main event that occurs like at other major holidays - no egg hunt, no trick-or-treat, no presents, no carols. Luckily there are a lot of creative people out there who have come up with fantastic ways to entertain the kiddos, help them to learn about the origins of the holiday (in a fun way), and teach them about giving thanks. Here are twenty-four of my favorites:
1. Decorate the table: If you're having a separate kids' table, make it fun for them. Raid your party cupboard for colorful accessories, use a tabletop "thankful" tree as a centerpiece, add some kraft paper as a tablecloth and crayons, and make sure everyone has their own wishbone.
2. Hint about the history: Make the table pretty and help kids' to learn about the origins of the holiday with fun and functional pilgrim-themed decorations.
3. Provide entertainment: To keep them from taking a few bites and then racing about the house like a bunch of wild turkeys, provide some fun activities at the table to keep them occupied.
4. Make the food fun: Dress up some boring broccoli with a festive (free) printable ship - who knows, maybe they'll actually eat it!
5. Make photo props: Most kids love to ham it up in front of the camera - make it extra fun with these turkey props. (I mean, if they're going to run around like wild turkeys anyway, you might as well embrace it, right?!)
6. Make use of free printable activities: Speaking of dressing up, here's a fun (and free) turkey printable that the kids can dress up and color to their heart's content.
7. Make them feel special with their own place setting: These DIY woodland animal place cards would make a fun keepsake as well, and could even easily be made into Christmas ornaments by adding a pinhole for hanging.
8. Wishes for all: Make sure no one has to fight over the wishbone with these fun DIY clay versions.
9. Focus on thankfulness: Help kids to think about what they are thankful for with these lovely printable notes.
10. Get crafty: Let the kids make turkey feather headbands to wear as they play.
11. Forget the china: Dress up plain paper cups with these cute turkey cozies.
12. Make the decorations work double duty: Write what you're grateful for on a pretty paper garland and festoon the room with thanks.
13. And make the useful decorative: I love that this utensil holder is decorative, useful, and will keep the kids entertained.
14. Work with what you've got: Create a lovely and purposeful centerpiece for your table with a few branches from your yard.
15. Encourage imaginative play: Teach them a little bit about the history of the holiday in a fun way with these paper pilgrim hats.
16. Entertain them before dinner: Before that heaping plate of food is served, keep kids busy and remind them of the real reason for the day with this thankful placemat.
17. Don't forget the games: This oilcloth chalkboard placemat is perfect for games like tic tac toe, hangman, and the like.
18. Keep crayons on hand: And as a bonus house them in this simple and crafty ship - they could even use them to decorate the sail.
19. Think outside the box: No room at the table for a tree? Make one on your wall with a roll of kraft paper.
20. Post-feast fun: These turkey bowling pins will keep them entertained for hours.
21. Bring the outside in: Create festive leaf crowns with paper, glue, and a few leaves that are laying around.
22. Jazz it up: Make simple games extra exciting by creating them on a larger scale.
23. Put a feather on it: Whether representing the Native Americans or the main dish, feathers make everything more festive.
24. Don't forget the pie: Have the kids each create one of these colorful dishes and decorate or create a photobooth with the fruits of their labor.

Loved all the beautiful craft ideas, but I personally could have done without the Native American stereotypes. We know that the people at the first Thanksgiving did not wear feathered headdresses (nor did the settlers at Plymouth wear dark clothing and buckled shoes for that matter). Thanksgiving is a great opportunity to teach cultural understanding and inclusiveness as well as giving thanks, and I would have liked to see that represented here.

I knew I was a grown up when Thanksgiving stopped boring the hell out of me.
(Agree on feathered head-dresses!)
I agree on the Native American headdresses, which is why I was excited to find MerMag's "turkey feather headbands" featured above. Hopefully the pilgrim ensembles are not offensive to anyone in spite of their apparent historical inaccuracy.
Wow -- Pinterest beautiful for sure...
This is what I helped my nieces and nephew create this weekend - Thankful turkeys.

The $10million Senior's Mobility Fund (SMF) was established and announced by former Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan during COS 2011. This scheme aims to assist elderly in getting mobility devices to help them move around at home and in the community, and to help them perform daily activities.
Needy Singaporeans who are 60 years of age and above can apply for SMF's assistance. All applicants are screened in a financial assessment, as well as a clinical needs assessment, which determines the type of mobility aids suitable for them before they are able to receive these aids.
Applicants with sustained disability and require long-term use of these mobility aids for periods of more than 3 months and with no other sources of concurrent funding for similar mobility devices may also apply for the Fund. Applicants must not have any prior claim under SMF for a similar device.
Means testing
The Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) will assess applicants based on their Annual Assessable Personal income and Annual Value of their home.
How to apply for the fund
Applicants who are currently going through therapy with qualified therapists from hospitals or voluntary welfare organizations can ask for an assessment. If the applicant qualifies for the mobility device, his/her therapist can submit an application to AIC. The institutions and therapists will order the approved device if the application has been approved by AIC based on the means test and therapist assessment.
Applicants may also choose to contact AIC directly. Ongoing screening and outreach sessions are also conducted at various venues in order to reach out to more needy clients.
Funding amount
Eligible applicants will receive a 90% subsidy for the cost of the mobility aid that they require.
Device type
Wheelchairs: capped at 90% of actual cost or $180, whichever is lower.
Walking frames, quad-stick: capped at 90% of actual cost of $135, whichever is lower.
For more information on this scheme, visit www.aic.sg.

Human Capital, Product Quality, and Growth
AbstractA growth model is developed in which finite-lived individuals invest in human capital, and investments have a positive external effect on the human capital of later cohorts. Heterogeneous labor is the only factor of production, and higher-quality labor produces higher-quality goods. Stationary growth paths, along which human capital and the quality of consumption goods grow at a common, constant rate, are studied. It is also shown that if a small economy is very advanced or very backward relative to the rest of the world, then its rate of investment in human capital is lower under free trade than under autarky.

The State I Am In - Belle and Sebastian
The priest in the booth had a photographic memory for all he had heard - he took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel called "The State I Am In". And so I gave myself to God, there was a pregnant pause before he said ok. Now I spend my day turning tables round In Marks & Spencer's, they don't seem to mind.
I gave myself to sin, I gave myself to Providence, and I've been there and back again, the state that I am in.

How do you dispose of unwanted religious statues? Don't just toss that old or broken statues...Contact Epic Restorations to find out about recycling your religious statue!
Out of respect we feel that blessed religious statues should be reverently disposed of and not simply thrown away. We understand that statue restoration can be costly. If you are not willing to pay to have a piece restored, please consider donating it to Sinclair's Epic Restorations for recycling. Most donated statues that are beyond repair are pulverized and the powder recycled in other restorations projects while other statues are used to make molds for repairing folds in the robes or duplicating hands, feet, jaw lines, noses, etc. Any donated damaged statues in need of minor repair, are mended, repainted and in turn donated to a non-profit organization or church. We do not sell statues for profit. Please contact Sinclair's Epic Restorations for more information, before you dispose of those old unwanted statues.
Ask about our on or off-site repair policy!
Matching Paint on an old statue takes patience.

Lateral rectus muscle

Lateral rectus muscle: is shown in this superior view of the eye. The lateral rectus is on the right side of the image.

|musculus rectus lateralis bulbi
|annulus of Zinn at the orbital apex

|abducts the eyeball (makes it move outwards)
|Anatomical terms of muscle
- For the muscle of the neck, see Rectus capitis lateralis muscle
The lateral rectus muscle is a muscle in the orbit. It is one of six extraocular muscles that control the movements of the eye (abduction in this case). Its function is to bring the pupil away from the midline of the body.
The lateral rectus originates at the lateral part of the annulus of Zinn, also known as the annular tendon or common tendinous ring, and inserts into the temporal side of the eyeball. The annulus of Zinn is a tendinous ring that surrounds the optic nerve and serves as the origin for four of the six extraocular muscles, excluding the inferior oblique muscle and superior oblique muscle.[1]
It is the only muscle innervated by the abducens nerve, cranial nerve VI.
Clinical significance[edit]
A sixth nerve palsy, also known as abducens nerve palsy, is a neurological defect that results from a damaged or impaired abducens nerve. This defect can result in horizontal double vision and reduced lateral movement.[2] Proper function of the lateral rectus is tested clinically by asking the patient to look laterally.

Slumber Party Massacre series is a trilogy of Slasher Movies from the 1980s. All three films share similiar plot: Bunch of girls (and their gratuitous nudity) are having a slumber party, at some point couple of guys crash it and all the while there's a killer offing them with a power drill.
Close your eyes for a second... and sleep forever.In The Slumber Party Massacre (1982), Serial Killer Russ Thorn escapes from the mental institution and terrorizes the partying girls and two sisters living nearby. It was written by feminist activist Rita Mae Brown, and it was supposed to be a spoof of the genre. Instead it was directed as a straight horror story, whose humor ranges from intentional to unintentional and with more Fanservice than any other slasher film from those days.
The party begins when the lights go out!Slumber Party Massacre II was released in 1987. It follows Courtney, who was one of the heroines of the first film and is now part of a girl rock group. They decide to take the weekend off in the estate belonging to the father of one of the girls. However, Courtney is having nightmares and hallucinations of a leather-clad rockabilly who is armed with an electric guitar with built in power-drill. After losing her virginity (despite the visions of her sister warning her not to), the rockabilly (named Driller Killer in the credits) steps into the real world and starts killing the partygoers.
It's Driller Time... and this bits for you!Slumber Party Massacre III was released in 1990 and it ditches the supernatural elements from the last film. However, it still does share the series inheret silliness as the victims are complete idiots who cannot stop the killer, even when he is struck down many times and is completely blind later on. And the killer really loved his uncle and has a case of impotence (his power drill is a textbook example of Compensating for Something).
These films have the examples of:

15th Annual John R. Wooden
Classic Teams Announced
UCLA will face DePaul and
Saint Mary's takes on San Diego State
Anaheim, CA (August 13, 2008) – The UCLA Bruins
will make their way to Anaheim to headline the 15th
annual John R. Wooden Classic college basketball
doubleheader on December 13th at Honda Center. UCLA,
coming off three straight Final Four seasons,
will take on DePaul, with a rematch of last year's
thrilling game between San Diego State and Saint Mary's
rounding out the field.
appearance will mark the 12th overall and
sixth in a row for UCLA. Their record now stands at 8-3
in the Wooden Classic, with their last win coming in
2007 when they defeated Davidson 75-63.
The 2007-08 Bruins
finished the season with a school-record 35 victories
and a 35-4 overall mark. The club won its third
consecutive Pac-10 championship with a 16-2 mark, also
winning the 2008 Pacific Life Pac-10 Tournament. In
addition, UCLA has won 30 or more games in three
straight seasons for the first time in school history.
Three seniors,
Darren Collison, Josh
Shipp and Alfred Aboya will be leading the Bruins into
this season.
DePaul, making its first Wooden Classic appearance,
welcomes back five letter
winners and two redshirts from last season including
four of the top seven scorers and its top two rebounders.
The Blue Demons are led on the court by sophomore Mac
Kashwal who is the team's top scorer and rebounder. Dar
Tucker is coming off a solid freshman campaign as well.
He was a member of the Big East Conference All-Rookie
team and was named to the national All-Freshman team by
The Sporting News. The Big East Rookie of the Week on
January 2, Tucker finished the season ranked 21st in the
league in scoring. Senior Jabari Currie who enters his
final season in a Blue Demon uniform led the team in
assists and ranks 22nd in school history with 248 in his
year will mark the second appearance in the Wooden
Classic for both Saint Mary's and San Diego State. Last
year Saint Mary's defeated San Diego State 69-64, in a
thrilling finish that featured a series of remarkable
plays in the final minutes by both teams.
After a
third straight appearance in the postseason and its
third 20-win season in as many years, San Diego State
heads into the 2008-09 campaign with all five starters
and its top seven scorers returning. Finishing last year
with a record of 20-13, Head Coach Steve Fisher and the
Aztecs have won at least 20 games in three consecutive
seasons for the first time in their Division I history
and for the first time since 1939-41. This year, SDSU
will look to run its streak to four with all-conference
performers Lorrenzo Wade (1st team), Ryan
Amoroso (3rd team) and Billy White (3rd
team, freshman of the year) manning the frontline.
West Coast Conference Co-Coach of the Year, Randy
Bennett, will attempt to lead the Gaels to their first
back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearance in school

I prefer healing, so that's where I prioritize my gear, but even if you like both I'd stick with healing first for a couple reasons:
1) if you have limited time to run heroics, being a (good) healer is going to get you more bang for you buck than being another dime-a-dozen dps.
2) In 5-mans, being a good healer is more important than being a good dps. If you're a bad dps, the group goes through a little slower. If you're a bad healer, the group might not get through at all. Your dps obviously wont be as good as it could be if you're in healing gear, but you'll be fine for 5-mans. Try to pick up a few pieces with hit rating to help out.

Phone Calls. UPDATED1 Reviews
Amy wakes up in Milkey's room and gets a phone call from........................ read and find out!
Amy's POV
I woke up the next morning at 11 with a giant head ache. I groaned and sat up in my bed. Well I thought it was my bed until I relised it wasn't my room. I had no clue where the hell I was until I looked to my right and saw Mikey asleep on the couch. I smiled and made my way to the bathroom quietly. I looked in the mirror which hung the exact same spot as it was in my room. I took the elastic around my wrist and put my hair in a low pony tail.
"Morning sleepyhead." Mikey said.
"Crap! You scared me." I shouted.
Mikey laughed.
"So tell me how it is I ended up in your room?" I asked.
"Well you fell asleep on me last night in the car and so I carried you up but I forgot I didn't have your room key and I didn't want wake you or go through your handbag or anything. So here you are." Mikey explained.
"You carried me all the way up here." I asked smiling.
He nodded.
"Aww! Come here!" I said and pulled him into a hug.
Our hug was inturupted by my mobile which was going off in my front pocket. I answered it
"Hello?" I said cheerfully.
"Amy, it's me. Carol." She said rushed.
"Oh hey! How are you?" I asked.
"amy. You're uncle is on his way up. I don't know how he found out but I went to the shops for like half an hour and when I came back there was a note that said he was going to find you and bring you back." She said in a paniced tone.
"What?" I shouted.
"You have to get away. Can you stay somewhere?" she asked.
"I don't know I'll ask one of my friends but how did he find out?" I answered.
"I don't know but you have to get away." She said.
"Yeah okay. Thanks. Bye." I said and hung up the phone.
"Amy... Are you okay?" he asked worried.
"Mikey im gonna tell you something but you can't tell anyone." I told him.
Mikey nodded and I explained about how my parents were killed and my uncle was coming and I nedded somewhere to stay.
"Well Gerard and I are going home for a week. We can leave as soon you want. That is if you want to stay." Mikey told me.
"Really!! Thank you so much Mikes!" I shouted.
"One condision. We have to tell my mom. She's REALLY nosey and if we don't tell her. She'l squeeze it out you." He said worried.
I laughed.
"Sure just as long as you don't treat me ANY differently." I explained.
Mikey nodded.
"So when do you want to go?" Mikey asked.
"As soon as we can. If that's okay?" I said.
"We can leave this afternoon." Mikey smiled.
I nodded
"Okay well im gonna go and pack. You can tell Gerard about it but just nobody else." I said and pulled mikey into our unfinished hug.
"Okay then. Well bye." I said softly walking out.
Mikey's POV
Omg! This was big news. I would have never guessed. I'm really happy she's coming back to Breville with me and Gerard. I walked over to Gerard and Ray's room and knocked softly. Gerard answered.
"Hey. What brings you here?" Gerard said.
"We need to tall about something. Is Ray awake?" I asked.
"Nah but he's out cold. What is it?" Gerard said while letting me in.
"Umm. Do you think we can go back to Breville this afternoon?" I asked.
"Yeah sure. But why?" Gerard answered.
I breathed in deeply.
"Amy is coming too. Umm. I don't know how to put this so I'll just start from the beginning. Amy's Parents were murdered when she was 6." I started.
Gerard gasped.
I told Gerard the rest of the story about how she moved to Australia and about her uncle.
Gerards eyes were filled with sadness."she know's we have to tell mom right?"
I nodded.
"Okay we'll leave in an hour." Gerard said.
"Okay.I'll go tell Amy."
"No it's okay. I will. You go pack." Gerard snapped.
"Umm. Kay" I said and walked back.
Gerards POV
Wow! That was un expected! I walked over to the door that separated me and Amy and knocked on it slowly. Amy answered. Whe had a pink nose and blood shot eyes. I pulled her into a hug.
"We're leaving in an hour. Is that okay?" I said softly.
Amy nodded and smiled. There was a tear on her cheek. I wiped it away with my thumb.
"I'd better call my mum to let her know you're coming." I whispered.
"See you in an hour." She said and closed the door.
Kay... please review!!!! Haha!

This was the single most fucking epic flash I've seen in a long time. Brilliant. Bloody brilliant. I love your animation + drawing style. The hillarious expressions and organic approach to animation is definitely refreshing.... The characters also stand out on their own like a sore thumb.
Mission accomplished.
Great work,

Kewdos, your voice acting and animation is as usual on par with each release.

With collections to rival the Smithsonian and the British Museums, it isn't just a storehouse of countless artifacts from the world over. The building seems to be a tiny world, an island in the midst of a busy street. The tall gates with their spikes are the doorways to different recorded ages. All those entering through the high steps are travelers in a time machine. But this is not all that Kolkata's Jadughar or "House of Magic" has to offer. Its jadu lies in the magic with which it houses portions of man's past. The high ceilings seem to stretch to infinity. Amid the silence there is vibrant life. Showcasing essential elements of different cultures, the dark, often dank, interiors show up the objects more sharply. Gradually the eyes grow used to the absence of light; the smell seems natural. It is this ambience that gently draws you in and makes the textbook history we are used to, a tangible living reality.It remains a wonderful time-warp with plenty of mangy-looking stuffed animals, fish and birds, together with fossils so beloved of Victorian collectors, as well as fascinating Indian friezes, bas-reliefs and stone carvings and art.
Robert de Montesquiou - "Tall, black-haired, rouged, Kaiser-moustached, he cackled and screamed in weird attitudes, giggling in high soprano, hiding his little black teeth behind an exquisitely gloved hand – the poseur absolute. He was said to have slept with Sarah Bernhardt and vomited for a week afterwards."
Lord Berners - "As a child, having heard that if you throw a dog into water it will learn how to swim, he threw his mother's canine companion out of the window on the grounds that if one applies the same logic it should learn how to fly. (The dog was unharmed, and he was "thrashed" by his mother.)"
