Travel, cooking, and winter life in Switzerland. Excellent photography and background information. The book includes Christmas in Zürich. Also covered is the burning of the Böögg snowman during the Sechseläuten festival which symbolizes the burning of winter. The book covers everything from cheese to chocolate and includes healthy eating. I really liked the book because it had more than recipes. The photos and travelogue were very interesting. The book is both a coffee table book and a cook book.

Format: Paperback
Winter in the Alps is a rich collection of essays and recipes, documenting the author's personal journey to discovering Switzerland's winter culture. Whether it is Nuvolone, a cloud soufflé from Ticino, Engadiner Nusstorte, the famed walnut cake from Engadine, or Walliser Nussbrot, a nut bread from Valais, this books leaves me with a difficult decision: Whether to create these dishes from scratch or travel to each region and taste the original...

This book has beautiful illustrations. It's exactly what I wanted. Of course the subject matter, Switzerland and its food, is always an interesting subject - such a diverse yet united country.

Negative: 0 out of 17
If you have the patience to watch this film develop and unfold, like some bizarre night-blooming orchid, what you'll see is not just the last movie released in 2012, but possibly the most original of them all.
The pangs of romance, eroticism, anguish, and longing (both for the stolen moments of private passion and for the sense-making schematics of Empire) transcend any period of cinema Tabu may evoke.
Like other great pastiche artists, Gomes has created a time machine to a cinematic era that never quite existed, so it feels simultaneously borrowed and new.
It's a gem: gentle, eccentric, possessed of a distinctive sort of innocence – and also charming and funny.
This blend of tongue-in-cheek exoticism and desire so strong it makes crocodiles melancholic amply rewards your patience.
It is, of course, art rather than history - an elegant composition of dreams, memories and suggestive images - but its artfulness seems like an alibi, an excuse for keeping the ugliness of history out of the picture.

So you already bought the Zeus 2500 pack and head?
For your application, it should work fine...parts replacements are inexpensive which is another nice thing about using PCB gear on locations where something inevitably gets dropped

Dillon Gee and Jair Jurrjens have the National League's top two winning percentages.
Dillon Gee (5-0) and Jair Jurrjens, who face off Saturday night, have the top two winning percentages in the National League.
According to the Mets ...
Dillon Gee became the second rookie in franchise history to win his first five decisions in a season as a starter. Jon Matlack began his 1972 rookie season 6-0 (five wins as a starter and one in relief) en route to the Rookie of the Year Award. Among all pitchers who have made at least five starts, Gee is the only one whose team in undefeated when he takes the mound (7-0). The right-hander also has pitched five or more innings in all 12 of his career starts, the second-longest streak in team history behind Bill Pulsipher's 17-game stretch from June 6-Sept. 11, 1995.

text: Mixhell - Exit Wound (Zombie Disco Squad Remix) by Boysnoize Records published on 2012-11-23T11:41:23Z Brazil's superb collaboration Mixhell, also known as ex-Sepultura drummer Iggor Cavalera, his DJ wife Laima Leyton and long time partner and producer Max Blum, are back with their newest imprint "Exit Wound" (taken from their forthcoming debut album "Spaces"). Exit Wound sets the scene of a hypnotic space trip driven by euphoric percussion, groovy bass and smooth vocals by Greg Puciato from hardcore punk band The Dillinger Escape Plan - who gives the track a certain indie, disco funk vein. The tension grows into a mess of Puciato's screamo perfomance and drops back into the vibey space atmosphere. Everything merges into brilliant indie-electro-mash up served by Mixhell in their own inimitable style. The pack is completed with three remixes, contributed by power duo Zombie Disco Squad, Swedish bad boys Savage Skulls and last but not least by retro-disco producer Aeroplane. Zombie Disco Squad dials it down to a more minimalistic well thought out remix and focuses it on rough brooding basslines crossed with haunting vocal bits from the original. Future Techno aspirated with some slight of darkness was created here. Whilst Aeroplane spins it back to a 80s dreamy retro jam - Casio oldschool synths dipped into a funky electro beat, which gives you the feeling of driving a red Testarossa through Miami while listening to Debbie Deb. Finally Savage Skulls morphs the original to a ravey dancefloor smasher, framed by heavy stomping kicks and energetic fidget synths. A track which is built for the crowd and to destroy the crowd.

A new confocal combination lens method is proposed, which can overcome severe misalignment tolerances for an InGaAsP laser diode to single-mode fiber coupling. Lens 2 in the confocal two-lens method is divided into two lenses, that is, lenses 21 and 22. The optimal distance between lenses 1 and 21 is found to be shorter than that for a confocal condition. Lens 22 is attached to the input endface of the single-mode fiber, thus forming a virtual fiber. Using 0.06- and 0.18-pitch GRIN rod lenses as lenses 21 and 22, the lateral and axial misalignment tolerances for the virtual fiber are improved by three and nine times, respectively, in comparison with those for the single-mode fiber. High-coupling efficiency of -3.0 dB of the laser diode to the single-mode fiber can be easily obtained including Fresnel reflections.

LOWELL, Mass. -- Steffen Herter had heard the pop in his left shoulder before -- twice earlier this season, to be exact.
Only this time, when the Amherst Regional catcher dislocated his shoulder swinging at a pitch low and away in the bottom of the second inning, it was significantly worse. This wasn't the usual half-minute, pop-it-in-and-go quickie, but rather a task that took seven minutes.
Still, Herter wasn't going to sit for long: He had an All-American on the mound, and a state title to win. He threw some long toss and swung the bat, had his trainer tape him up to the point where he couldn't move the joint backward, and told coach Greg Vouros he was ready to go.
Vouros relented to Herter in the bottom of the seventh, and the junior promptly laid down a perfect bunt to lead the Hurricanes to a two-run rally and their first Division 1 state baseball title, downing Xaverian 3-2 Saturday night at LeLacheur Park.
"We know that we're not always going to be the greatest finesse team," Herter said. "But we've got a lot of guys with a bunch of heart. That's just how we play, we get gritty performances and anyone on this team is ready to give it all."
Down 2-1 to start the seventh, the Hurricanes (18-7) wasted no time trying to manufacture a run. They ended up getting two, thanks to bunts by Herter and senior Chuck Hebb. Herter dribbled one up the third-base line and stole second, then Hebb followed suit -- his bunt blooping over the pitcher's head -- to put runners at second and third.
After a walk loaded the bases, senior Sean Cunningham brought Herter and Hebb home with an opposite-field double off the right-field wall that landed fair by just a few feet for the 3-2 lead.
"It just goes to show what kind of kid he is," Vouros said of Herter. "We've got a lot of kids like that on this team. But he's our catalyst. He's our leadoff hitter, our catcher, him and Chuck are the glue of our team as far as attitude. I give those guys a lot of credit. Two bunt singles got it going for us. That's unbelievable."
The small ball allowed lefty flamethrower Kevin Ziomek, the Hurricanes' recently anointed Gatorade Player of the Year, to close his high school career in storybook fashion. Ziomek, a Vanderbilt commit who was taken in the 14th round by the Arizona Diamondbacks in this month's MLB draft, had never gone nine innings -- or 138 pitches.
But for the most part, he was lights out. After retiring the first six Xaverian batters (five on strikeouts) and helping his own cause with an RBI single in the first, he surrendered the lead in the fifth when Alex Phelan took him deep for a solo home run.
Over the final four innings, however, only two balls left the infield, both for base hits that produced nothing. Ziomek finished with 17 strikeouts -- one off his career high -- but his final pitch of the night might have been the most telling. The scoreboard in center field flashed "95" miles per hour, his game high, as Bobby Carkhuff handled a grounder at first for the final out.
The team erupted, as one might expect. Yet Ziomek remained calm amidst the ecstasy.
"It's just a huge game, your adrenaline's flowing; guess I got lucky," he said when told of the speed of his final pitch. "I was just trying to win a ballgame. I was going to do whatever it took to win tonight."
Across the field, there was little regret for the Hawks (15-11), who entered the South sectional as a No. 15 seed at 10-10 and figured to have an early exit. Junior Derek Reddy was charged with three earned runs in the loss, but gave his all, throwing 139 pitches before being pulled following Cunningham's double.
"My arm felt good, but I started catching more of the plate and leaving it over. They took advantage of it," Reddy said.
"It was good just getting here. Obviously it would have been better with a win, but we got here, and we gave it all and lost by one."
Northbridge runs the table
It was just one that got away, but Northbridge coach John Demagian knew his team needed to refocus.
"On the first day of practice, they were talking about winning the state title," Demagian said. "I had to stop them right there."
The veteran skipper quashed the Rams' inflated sense of self after a disappointing opening-day loss to a formidable Auburn team. With a renewed focus, Northbridge would not look back, winning their next 24 contests, including Saturday's 3-1 win over Duxbury, to claim the school's first state baseball title since 1999.
"I told them to stop thinking about the big prize and focus on what was in front of them," Demagian said.
The Rams would need to regain their composure again while closing out the Division 2 final. They were coasting by with a 3-0 lead entering the seventh when Rams starter Evan Mackintosh encountered his first trouble.
Capitalizing on a couple of Northbridge miscues, Duxbury (22-3) scratched across a run on Tom Kazanowski's infield single.
However, the Green Dragons' attempted comeback was cut short when Mackintosh ended the game with his 10th strikeout, earning the complete-game win.
"Three outs. It seems like it's nothing, but it really is a lot," the junior said. "I just wanted to pitch well today and keep them off balance. I tried to work the corners and hit my spots."
The Rams jumped out to a quick lead against Duxbury's Jeff Blout on Mackintosh's wall-scraping, run-scoring triple in the first inning.
Tom Murphy, who went 3-for-4 from the leadoff spot for Northridge, followed with an RBI double in the fifth. Murphy scored an insurance run on Ben Richards' sacrifice fly in the seventh.
"He wanted the ball in the title game and he went out and battled as hard as he could," coach Barney Earle said of Blout's six-plus inning effort. "I can't say enough about him and the respect I have for him."
As for how this year's title team stacks up to his '99 squad, which featured former Red Sox first-round draft pick Rick Asadoorian, Demagian said that team was slightly better -- by one win to be exact.
"This team didn't have that one star player. It was a real team made up of talented kids."
Twitchell blast calms Norton
Mike Twitchell knew the first-pitch fastball he walloped was going deep over the LeLacheur Park fence as soon as the bat left his shoulders.
The Norton designated hitter's mammoth shot, a 375-footer to deep left-center for a grand slam in the bottom of the first, was just his second dinger of the year. But he knows where the ball is going.
"That will be in a trophy collection, definitely," he beamed.
The early blow helped relax his teammates in the Division 3 state final, and Norton went on to a 7-4 win over Ware to claim its third state title and first since 1989.
"When I was running around the bases, I couldn't help but smile," Twitchell said.
"I think it really calmed us down," second-year coach Ted Currle said. "And coming from Mike, it's perfect, because he's so laid back and hilarious that, you know he wasn't nervous and he just wants a fastball. He got it, and he crushed it."
The Lancers (18-8) wrapped up their surprising tournament run with 54 runs and 71 hits over the six games after starting out the South sectional as the No. 10 seed.
"These kids know how to play," said Currle, whose predecessor, Dave Mollica, won two state titles. "They make it easy for me. I'm just glad to keep it going."
There were, of course, some nervous moments. Winning pitcher A.J. Bashaw had to get out of some early jams and the usually air-tight defense made a few errors, but they were countered by some nice late-game grabs from Phil Rizzo (2 for 4, RBI) and Tom Munger (two RBIs, run).
Ware (22-4) pulled within 7-4 in the sixth, but stranded two runners.
"We didn't get the big hit," coach Scott Slattery said. "If we get the big hit in any of those innings Even in the sixth, we had the bases loaded and no outs and we only got two in. If we had hit a gap there, the game is tied up or we have a lead."

Killzone 3
This is a Killzone 3 Community for discussions and topics related to the Killzone 3 PS3 Game.
Club Announcements
Killzone 3 is as near to flawless as online shooters can get. The single-player could still use a minor bit of effort, but its faults pale in valuation to the measure of fun that the multiplayer presents. I don't consider that PlayStation 3 has so far had such a smooth, nice package as this, with this point of augmentation and spotless, painless, plain action.

Despite its strategic "rebalancing" toward Asia, the United States is unlikely to sponsor a collective defense organization for the Asia-Pacific, for at least three reasons: insufficient solidarity among diverse regional partners, fear of alienating China, and the perceived advantages of bilateral and ad-hoc security arrangements.

The UN Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) was passed on March 28, 2013, and seeks to regulate and limit trade in arms in circumstances of human rights violations. Unfortunately, it will have minimal effect on the Syrian conflict. Syria's own vote against the treaty, along with Iran's and North Korea's, sounded the death knell for a universally applicable treaty to limit small arms, ammunition, and conventional weapons technology.

Prior research has examined killing behavior using a paradigm in which participants believe (falsely) that they are killing bugs. This work suggests that killing behavior escalates. In the present study, we sought to replicate the basic escalation effect within-subjects. Further, in doing so, we controlled for experimenter "sanctioning" of killing that may have differed with key between-subjects manipulations in the prior research. To control for this possible confound, the present experiment held experimenter instructions constant and examined whether killing naturally escalated within-subjects across two 12-sec bug-killing tasks. Additionally, to verify that escalation is due to killing per se and not just physical practice of the procedure, we manipulated whether the procedure was described as real killing or simulated killing. Results showed that when participants thought they were killing bugs, the number of bugs put into the grinder increased from the first to the second killing task. No such escalation occurred when participants performed the procedure while knowing the killing was simulated. Thus, killing of bugs escalates and is not simply a consequence of perceived sanctioning of killing by an experimenter or simulated practice of the procedure.

Dear Friends,
We are glad to mention that all our students have moved on to the next grade and at present are pursuing Grade X. This year extra preparation and concentration will be taken by the students as they have to face their Board Examinations in March 2014.
Your support, love, and care to our children have brought them to this level. We'd like you to know that your thoughtfulness is truly making a difference in the lives of so many.
'Nature call cannot be foretold or determined' – unfortunately our SPPD family had faced a desperate situation. Yes. We are sorry to say that one of our student Master P.Elayakumar who was enrolled to this educational material support as well as our Evening Study Center student had passed away due to HIV – AIDS infection. In spite of continuous treatment, his health condition became too critical and on 5th March he breathed his last. We pray the love of God enfolds his family during this hour and helps them heal with the passage of time.
Your charitable donation has allowed us to purchase the much-needed supplies that will directly benefit our children in this program – Uniforms, Innerwear, Footwear, Note books , Stationeries like pens, pencils, erasers, scale, geometry box , toiletries like bathing and washing soap, coconut oil.
The donations are to be distributed to the students very soon. We will catch you up with our project's updates in the next report.
We are pleased to share one of the beneficiary's story benefited by the project
Name : P.Balasubramanian
Class : Std. X
Age : 13 years
Mother's Name` : Mariyayee
Father's Name : Perumal
Address : 4/24, Adi Dravidar Street, Sittilarai Post, Musiri Tk., Trichy District
School : Saraswathi Vidhya Sala Mania High School.
Balasubramaniyan is studying Grade X in Saraswathi Vidhya Sala Mania High School, Sittilarai. He belongs to a very poor family. His father is working in the plantain fields. He is a very innocent man but an alcoholic. Sometimes he has been robbed by his own friends.
His mother is working in a garment factory in Thirupur. They have two children to take care of. Due to the drinking habit, his father used to return at late hours in the night which often ended in frequent misunderstandings in the family and ended in striking his mother. Since his mother was working in Thirupur, she resides there to avoid this problem. Every weekend she visits her children. She is the only earning member of the family. Her income was insufficient to feed and educate the family.
They live in a hut house. There is no electricity in their house. She was unable to get her children the basic materials required for school. Three meals a day was uncertain for them. Though Balasubramanian is interested in studies he had no one to guide him with it. He never used to wear clean clothes. In this situation, he started going for coolie work in the farm during his free time.
Though she is uneducated she is very interested in educating her children.
With regards,
Secretary, SPPD

You've Been Trumped, BBC Two | TV reviews, news & interviews
You've Been Trumped, BBC Two
Powerful David v Goliath polemic pitches Donald Trump against the citizens of north-east Scotland
It has never been easier to get sucked into a warm, simplistic sensibility which portrays every rich capitalist businessman as corrupt and amoral, but you spend 90 minutes watching Donald Trump in action and you start to wonder. If Trump didn't exist you suspect Martin Amis would invent him. He would probably call his caricature of a dastardly US business tycoon Donald Shit.
Anthony Baxter's powerful, unashamedly partisan film pitches a number of principled Davids against this gammon-faced, lizard-eyed, overcombed Goliath. The story begins in 2006, when Trump first set his sights on the Menie Estate, just north of Aberdeen, as a home to Trump International Golf Course. His vision: a £1bn investment to build "the world's greatest golf course" with hotels, apartments and villas. There was a problem, however. The dunes (pictured below) are a designated wilderness environment given accolade status. Not only do they have unique scientific value, they are also home to numerous forms of wildlife.
Trump's first application, therefore, was rejected by the local council on the grounds that it failed the sustainable development test "in spades", according to Green councillor Martin Ford. Then something unprecedented occurred: the Scottish Government called in the application, taking it out of the council's hands. This has never happened before. They reversed the original veto and gave the project the green light. The estate is in First Minister Alex Salmond's constituency.
The argument was that the benefits to the local community through new jobs and tourist expenditure outweighed the environmental concerns. Fine, except the project was contracted to an Irish company, and much of the casual work was given to migrant labour. And with the Trump complex designed to be entirely self-contained, experts predict the positive impact on local economy will be negligible, certainly compared to the negative impact on the environment.
That Trump's cash was allowed to run roughshod over planning legislation and environmental issues is one thing. But what about the human cost? This film narrowed in on the impact on the lives of the people living in proximity to the golf site, and in particular Michael Forbes, a farmer who refused to sell his land and was thus subjected to a tirade of personal denigration and character assassination from Trump. "I don't think guests in my hotel want to look down into a slum," he said. "He lives like a pig; it's disgusting."
Forbes' (pictured left) hands and forearms are festooned with tattoos; he speaks in impenetrable Doric which often requires subtitles. You can see why Trump views him with nothing but contempt; you can also see why Baxter loves him, wittily quoting from the 1983 film Local Hero, about another quiet, intransigent local eccentric who refused to bow to the Yankee business dollar.
We see the cause uniting farmers, artists, fisherman, academics. When Trump is awarded an honorary degree at Robert Gordon University, the former principal returns his honorary degree in disgust. Former Clash producer Mickey Foote now lives in the area and makes an entertainingly committed activist.
I am utterly speechless at
I was shocked by what I saw,
A truly disgusting little
I was flabbergasted at the
What is deeply disturbing
Partisan, yes, but a skilfull
Well said, I have a feeling

Cleaning a Dirty Beach: What We Do as Technical Communicators
By Thomas Barker | Fellow Considerations of who we are as technical communicators have stimulated academic discussions for years. Articles about defining technical communication occupy special issues of Technical Communication and Intercom and books and conference presentations. Our professional identity has grown over the past 25 years, as we have responded to massive social and technological shifts. And yet, despite the chaos of history, academics have repeatedly tried to define technical communication. Sometimes practitioners led academics (we all became "desktop publishers" in the 1980s) and sometimes academics led practitioners (we all became "public intellectuals" in the 1990s.) And we failed.… Read the rest

Today, even Acrobat and PowerPoint offer the option of embedding audio files. Audio requirements may fit your technical communication tasks.

This Hard Cover book is used with a program called Food Addicts Anonymous (FA) which is a 12 step program just like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). It is used as part as a daily devotional reading. This book was originally developed for the AA program. However since FA has adopted all of AA's literature, they use it as well. I really like this edition since it is a hard cover. My first one was paper back and the soft cover edges kept on rolling on me. Not with this edition. It is nice and firm and a little more compact than the soft cover. The only disadvantage is that the print is also much smaller, so that is why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5.Read More

Spain becoming Southern Sweden?
Spain to legalize Same Sex Marriages. Fulfilling a campaign promise, Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's socialist government is on the verge of making Spain only the third country in Europe to legalize same sex marriages after the Netherlands and Belgium. This and other progressive legislation has led angry bishops of the Spanish Church and other religious groups to start a campaign against Zapatero's "social revolution" that is converting Spain into one of the most liberal countries in all of Europe.

Kurds are the Closest Relatives of Jews
Kurds are the Closest Relatives of Jews Funny, They don't look Jewish:"Research has just begun into the ancient ties between Kurds and Jews. It would be interesting to see if the various Jewish groups have as strong a family tie to Kurds in the maternal lineages as they do in the paternal lineages. Preliminary studies indicate that Jewish populations in eastern Europe and Yemen have maternal origins that contain much more non-Israelite ancestry than their paternal origins. Despite this admixture with other groups, the Jewish Judean people ultimately began their existence in an area within or nearby Kurdistan, prior to migrating southwest to Israel. This exciting research showing that Kurds and Jews may have shared common fathers several millennia ago should, hopefully, encourage both Kurds and Jews to explore each others' cultures and to maintain the friendship that Kurds and Jews enjoyed in northern Iraq in recent times (as chronicled in Michael Rubin's recent article "The Other Iraq"). As Rubin indicates, the Kurdish leader Mullah Mustafa Barzani once visited Israel and met with Israeli government officials. Rubin refers to the Iraqi Kurds' "special affinity for Israel" and writes that "In the safe haven of Iraqi Kurdistan, the Jews and Israel are remembered fondly, if increasingly vaguely." Let us hope that this relationship can be renewed and strengthened."
New Power for 'Old Europe'
New Power for 'Old Europe'
"Since the fall of the Berlin wall, the European Union has been steadily transforming itself from a facilitator of trade to a sophisticated geopolitical power with the teeth to back up its policies... Over the past decade, EU member states have ceded governing and enforcement authority to Brussels in areas ranging from environmental regulation to food safety, accounting standards, telecommunications policy and oversight of corporate mergers."

Viewropa - OK, maybe there's some agreement not to post this here, but I wasn't part of the development, and it's already got some good links (especially the evolution of writing one). So here's Viewropa - a community site started by members of MetaFilter who are attempting an experiment in multi-lingual, collaborative and Euro-focussed blogging. All are welcome here, no matter where you're from [...] (beware the impossible Portuguese kill-the-snowman game) (and I get the impression a non-English link would be more than welcome).

The European Dream
The European Dream Sure. They are doing better than the U.S. in so many aspects of living but we are number one with our military! Or perhaps that is why they do so well? Note: their view of religion does not come anywhere near the crazed attention religion plays in American life, in our politics, tax relief, social legislation etc....
The World's Most Dangerous Ideas: U.S. and European goals on most issues are quite similar. Both want a peaceful world free from terror, with open trade, growing freedom, and civilized codes of conduct. A Europe that charts its own course just to mark its differences from the United States threatens to fracture global efforts—whether on trade, proliferation, or the Middle East. Europe is too disunited to achieve its goals without the United States; it can only ensure that America's plans don't succeed. The result will be a world that muddles along, with the constant danger that unattended problems will flare up disastrously. Instead of win-win, it will be lose-lose—for Europe, for the United States, and for the world.

Heterosexual marriage rates in Denmark increased after adoption of same-sex marriage, study shows. "In the end, the Scandinavian and Dutch experience suggests that there is little reason to worry that heterosexual people will flee marriage if gay and lesbian couples get the same rights," Badgett concluded, in a report published by The Institute for Gay & Lesbian Strategic Studies. Much of the report covers the same ground which Hoover Institution professor Stanley Kurtz testified on before the US Congress in April this year, drawing almost diametrically opposite conclusions.
U.S. to Cut Forces in Europe, Asia
U.S. to Cut Forces in Europe, Asia President Bush will announce Monday that he plans to pull 70,000 to 100,000 troops out of Europe and Asia in the first major reconfiguration of overseas military deployments by the United States since the Cold War ended, White House officials said yesterday.
Nous sommes toutes ...quoi?
America... through Europe's eyes Yes, there have been countless books and articles on this, but this is by far the best I've ever read. Part a review of the literature, part historical research, part personal reflection. it's a bit long though, so set some time aside. Hudson Review, via A&L Daily
Europeans on Europeans.
Europeans on Europeans. Reader's Digest dispatched researchers to 38 towns in 19 countries across Europe, from the UK to Russia, inviting nearly 4,000 respondents to comment on any country but their own. Italians finished as "most liked," Germans as "least liked," Belgians as the "least sexy," and Paris triumphed as "favorite European city." The full results can be seen here. (PDF)

Tocqueville And America
The Man Who Best Understood America Was A French Aristocrat: If there's a book which manages to grow better and more pertinent with every passing year, it's Tocqueville's fascinating, prescient and utterly apposite Democracy in America. Of how many other books could you safely say every American and European should read it and know beforehand they will enjoy it and learn from it? Of none.
Two years ago - a tremendous tragedy.
On 1 July 2002 at 21:35:32 hrs a collision between a Tupolev TU154M, which was on a flight from Moscow/Russia to Barcelona/ Spain, and a Boeing B757-200, on a flight from Bergamo/Italy to Brussels/ Belgium, occurred north of the city of Ueberlingen (Lake of Constance). Investigation Report as of May 2004, PDF. Very detailed, intelligibly written.
71 people were killed in one of Europe's worst peacetime air accidents. The report comes the the conclusion that human error was the main cause. The TCAS system (PDF) which should have prevented the collision worked, but the Tupolew crew followed the ATC instructions. It turned out that the air traffic controller missed a key warning on his radar screen in one of a chain of errors. ATCs from nearby airports realized what was going on but weren't able to contact the responsible Skyguide controller because the telephone network did not work: the main telephone line was switched off because of work being done on the telephone network, and the collision warning system was temporarily shut down for maintenance.
The ATC in charge was stabbed to death in February 2004 by a Russian man who lost his wife, son and daughter in the plane crash.

EU vs USA
Europe versus America (PDF) is a report by a Swedish public policy institute comparing the two economies, concluding that "If the European Union were a state in the USA it would belong to the poorest group of states." The WSJ has read the report, and highlights that "Most Americans have a standard of living which the majority of Europeans will never come anywhere near [...]. in the U.S. a large 45.9% of the 'poor' own their homes, 72.8% have a car and almost 77% have air conditioning, which remains a luxury in most of Western Europe. The average living space for poor American households is 1,200 square feet. In Europe, the average space for all households, not just the poor, is 1,000 square feet.". With a looming demographic crisis in Europe to boot, will the EU be able to implement much-needed reforms to save their welfare-state system before it is too late?
The Super Power no one heard of
So this is the new European world. OK basically there is a new superpower in the world and damned if I can find anyone in my county seems to know or care..... but we're all about one mans untimely grisly death. Compare the world to the US I think this may be a good indicator of the rifts that exist between us and the rest of humanity...

Militants in Europe Openly Call for Jihad and the Rule of Islam
Militants in Europe Openly Call for Jihad and the Rule of Islam The call to jihad is rising in the streets of Europe, and is being answered, counterterrorism officials say. In this former industrial town north of London, a small group of young Britons whose parents emigrated from Pakistan after World War II have turned against their families' new home. They say they would like to see Prime Minister Tony Blair dead or deposed and an Islamic flag hanging outside No. 10 Downing Street.

Islam and Europe
Eurabia? WTF? An interesting article by the ultra-prolific Niall Ferguson obliquely raises the question: wouldn't Europe (and the world) be happier if Islam still had a hold on the West? Al-Qaeda's longings for Andalusia and the Algarve apart, the truth is that Southern Spain (until 1498) and Portugal (until 1297) were very happy under Muslim rule. Isn't it sad that the three great monotheistic religions, plus the great atheist belief, can't live together anymore? [ NYT registration required. Via Arts and Letters Daily.]

Betrayed by Europe: An Expatriate's Lament
Betrayed by Europe: An Expatriate's Lament Journalist, novelist, and translator Nidra Poller, an American ex-pat who has been living in Paris with her family since 1972, writes in the latest issue of Commentary about her painful decision to leave her adopted homeland for the US. The main reason? Poller and her family are Jewish and scared for their lives. Her poignant essay is not just another report on the disturbing levels of anti-semitism in France or yet another French Jew abandoning the country for safer turf, but an examination of the power of hope (and inertia) in our lives, even when intellectually one sees no reason for hope: I'm being treated to a poignant lesson in European and Jewish history. The 30's: why did they stay? Why didn't they run for their lives? Couldn't they see what was happening? I see before me a vivid demonstration of the deep roots we dig to make our lives bloom, the intricate biology of a human life, irrigated with the lifeblood of a community, inextricably connected to a society, born of life to give life to keep life alive. Leaving is not packing up and tipping your hat goodbye. It is tearing live flesh out of a living matrix. A powerful and disturbing testimony.
Europe and John Kerry
Europe Is Deeply In Love With John Kerry. How Will America React? He's liberal but not an outright socialist; he has Polish origins and an Irish surname; he's better connected to the British Royal Family than that embarrassing proto-prole Bush; he was educated in Switzerland; he speaks French beautifully and, above all, he's married to a spirited Portuguese woman who watches his every step...

Is The BBC The United Nations Of Broadcasting?
Trusting The Redcoats: How many independent-minded Americans actually rely on the BBC (specially the World Service) for accurate coverage of American politics? Not to mention The Guardian. Is it a strictly an elitist, liberal/left-wing phenomenon? What does it mean? What does it say about better-informed liberal newspapers and media of the U.S.? If so, why aren't like-minded Europeans just as cosmopolitan and, say, pay the same attention to news sources like The New York Times, NPR and others, rather than stolidly sticking to their own national staples?
Images of the Rom (not what you think... probably)
Images of the Rom: the Rrom of Romania from an award-winning book by Yves Leresche; The Roma of Central and Eastern Europe by Raulf Bauerdick; David Dare-Parker's Roma - Gypsies of Romania (the second image in the set won "Best Feature Photograph" in the Walkley Awards); the Chergari Gypsies in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria (by Stacia Spragg - background here); and Itinerant Gypsies in Romania by Valeriu Campan. See also the photo-article, Challenging Segregation of Roma schoolchildren in eastern Hungary by Jason Orton (article continues at far right), and an eviction series by Ph.D. student Cosima Rughinis: the Rom in Pata Rat (dump site), Cluj-Napoca, Piatra Neamt, and Targu Mures, Romania. For some context on the last, view some text snapshots (under "issues of Roma Rights") of the situation from the European Roma Rights Center.
The 'anti-Semites' of Europe
Those anti-Semitic Europeans are at it again. In an opinion poll conducted in October, when shown a list of countries and asked "if in your opinion it presents or not a threat to peace in the world", some 59 per cent of European Union citizens polled said that Israel was a danger. "This shocking result... defies logic and is a racist flight of fantasy that only shows that anti-Semitism is deeply embedded within European society, more than at any other period since the end of the war," responded Rabbi Marvin Hier. But, is it really so?
To what degree are we different?
Friedman quotes a former Swedish prime minister. "Our defining date is now 1989 and yours is 2001," I find this to be true. For most of the 90's, the US struggled to find a new purpose for its power. A few peace-keeping missions, a skirmish in Iraq (the first time), but for the most part, no real global strategy. Europe, on the other hand, has made significant progress with developing the EU, the euro (which no one believed would ever come about so quickly), and a semi-unified policy concerning the rest of the world (GB being the notable exception).

Serious News And Soft Porn: Are They, In Fact, The Same Thing? ;)
All The Nudes That Are Fit To Print: It's no exaggeration to say La Repubblica is Italy's finest newspaper. It's liberal, modern, intelligent and independent. Along with Spain's El Pais; France's Libération and Le Monde; the UK's Guardian; Germany's Die Zeit and Portugal's Público, it's one of the mainstays of the European Left and Centre-Left. And yet its website offers calendars in the, er, Pirelli tradition of time-keeping. Imagine the New York Times being similarly... liberal. Can soft prOn and serious reporting live together? Is it an Italian thing? The only other example I can think of is Spain's Interviú, a magazine which in its heyday mixed superb (again, left-leaning) investigative journalism with politically incorrect - and photographically retouched - tits and ass. (NSFW, obviously, unless you're somewhere in Southern Europe or Louisiana.)
Europeans: Do you want a total war on piracy?
Europe's not-too-modest anti-piracy proposal. If accepted, it means that "not only could a teenager who downloaded a music file be sent to jail under it; so too could managers of the Internet service provider that the teenager happened to use, whether they knew what the teenager was doing or not." The proposal is being spearheaded by French parliamentarian Janelly Fourtou. Coincidentally enough, her husband is the chief executive of Vivendi Universal.
What a romance my life has been! -- Napoleon Bonaparte
On October 17, 1815, following The 100 Days and Waterloo, Napoleon Bonaparte arrived on the Island of St Helena, where he would remain until his death (mysterious or otherwise) in 1821. Discovered by the Portuguese in 1502, St Helena had a long and interesting history before Napoleon arrived, but that history was overshadowed by the story of the Emperor's last years, living in captive exile at the simple yet beautiful Longwood House. Victorians had an insatiable interest for information about the remote island. Today, the picturesque Island is a a tiny bit of England in the South Atlantic, where coffee and tourism (indeed, what some might call pilgrimages) are the main sources of income.

Think We Can (French) Kiss and Make Up?
Think We Can (French) Kiss and Make Up? Two years ago it was "I'll always love and support you". It only took a little while, though, before the arguments began. But there are always counselors to help you work on the relationship. There is even talk of reconciliation. And anyway, this love-hate relationship has been going on for almost three centuries.

vicarious travel - photography and narratives
Photos by Martin - a gem of a site for vicarious travelers, it features wonderful, charming photos and fascinating stories from a guy who quit his job three years ago to travel the world. He credits global photojournalist Steve McCurry as an influence. I am such a fan of these photo travel narratives, professional and amateur alike - has anyone else discivered some special favorites?
Fantastic Voyage
"The story really began in January 1953, when I suggested to Gordon that we might go on a cycling holiday together..." They covered 2,286 miles, slept in potting sheds, hay barns, and even a railway marshalling yard, and the whole trip cost them £24. Now, 50 years later, Roy Jenkin's daughter is planning to retrace/tread her father's path. Even if you're not into travelogues (past or present) the photos of post-WWII Europe are worth a gander.
Medieval Architecture
Images of medieval architecture. A great site put together by Alison Stones, Professor of History of Art and Architecture at the University of Pittsburgh. There are two large gazetteers, one for Britain, and one for France. Besides photos, there are many plans, sketches and elevation drawings, which help to give an idea of the sheer scale of gothic cathedrals such as the cathedral of Saint-Étienne at Bourges (scroll down for the human figures at the bottom).
Why Europe doesn't get the web
European right of reply. The Council of Europe is drafting a proposal, "... that Internet news organizations, individual Web sites, moderated mailing lists and even Web logs (or 'blogs'), must offer a 'right of reply' to those who have been criticized by a person or organization." Considering that someone will have to pay for the storage and bandwidth required to host rebuttals, this seem the very antithesis of "free" speech and could get quite expensive.
How American Is Europe?
Joshka Fischer Said What? That The U.S. Needs Another Boston Tea Party? Hidden in the depths of this very interesting article by Timothy Garton-Ash, on Europe's misplaced anti-Americanism, is a very interesting revelation from Germany's Green Party-carrying Foreign Minister. To what extent are relations between the pro-American and the anti-American Europe and the United States - the so-called "Old and New Europe" - based on misperceptions? Is Europe, like the Middle East and, well, the whole wide world, too complex for the current U.S. administration to understand? Is it really possible for American foreign to swerve round France and Germany? [Fwiw, my two centimes is that it is.]
German Anti-Semitism
Why Does This News Make Me Uneasy? As a Jew whose sister is married to a German and who has happily visited Germany four or five times, the news that Jews are flocking back to Germany should leave me in the best of moods. But it doesn't. Antisemitism is flourishing almost everywhere in Middle Europe - specially in France, Germany and even Britain - often under the guise of Anti-Zionism. Even my synagogue in peaceful Lisbon is today protected by stringent security measures. Is this just an unwillingness to depart from old stereotypes or does it find an echo in other cautious Jews? Specially with Germans. I feel simultaneously ashamed and wary. Someone tell me - and a lot of others - I am wrong. Please. History may not repeat itself - but it sure as hell seems to inspires itself sometimes. And we're all better off, I think, if we confront our demons. If they are demons, that is.
Old Firm dialectics
Old Firm dialectics It's going down the thinnest wire tomorrow in the Scottish Premier League (football/soccer/fitba that is) as Celtic and Rangers, with one game left to play in perhaps the most absurd league in Europe, stand equal on points and goal difference after 37 games thus far.
The Hostest With The Mostest And The League Of Nations
Which Country Has The Most Beautiful Women? The best quality of life? The most divorces? The most mobile phones? The highest cost of living? Which one is the most visited? Rank the bastards! After browsing through this website, I'm sure the conclusion that we're all living in the wrong one is inescapable. The statistics and sources may be questionable, but there sure are a lot of interesting lists here! Meanwhile my own country, Portugal, has just been denounced as the the laziest in Europe and the booziest in the world. They lie! They lie! [Actually, it's a fair cop, guv. And it was nice to drag down the Brits with us.]
