I followed the sound. The fog and canyon like landscape made it difficult to locate where it came from. Would not have found it if I hadn't tripped over what I thought at first was a bundle of sticks, breaking the tip of my staff in the process. However not even the fog could hide it when I fell and came face to face with a small, obviously malnourished child.
I looked around in panic for the child's parents and that's the moment that a breeze thinned the fog out enough for me to see what I had tripped over. Not sticks. I drew my feet away and then looked and saw far more than I wanted to see. Nightmare images I shall never be free of. A killing field. Everywhere I looked the moon revealed more horror; some old, some new, all of pathetically small bodies and small rag swaddled bundles with obscene bits and pieces sticking out.
The moon also revealed it. First animal I had seen in days and it turns out to be a mangy carrion eater that looked alarmingly like a bastardized cross between a mangy cur and a corrupted porcine. The legs were longer than any feral pig I had seen in the forest. Its body matched that of a slightly rotund hound as did the fur covering its body and long, oddly bent tail. But the beady red eyes, face and tusks were surly porcine though of what breed I do not know … possibly a devil breed as I'd never seen the like and hope to never again.
It viewed me as a threat and charged before I even had time to be afraid. I scrambled to my feet and held my staff as my brothers and Nat had taught me and when the beast hit, the broken end disappeared into its eye cavity and continued until the animal finally accepted it had accidentally suicided on my weak defense. I fell to the ground and saw that it had pushed me the length of a man's height before finally allowing whatever angels tend to animals to carry it off. Given the beast it was probably carted off by demons rather than angels.
I pried the staff from the carcass – not an easy job – and then crawled back over to the child who stared at the beast in such terror it could no longer cry. I quickly checked the child over and then wrapping it in the cloak I wore stumbled out of that boneyard looking for my original camp to try and light the fire and to give some warmth to the child who felt cold near to death.
No matter how I tried my weakness made me too clumsy and the fire would not light. So instead I crawled into the small alcove I had found and tried to rock the poor thing so its terror would subside. It took an amazingly short time before I felt the child relax in my arms and drift into a slumber I prayed was dreamless. The child was even weaker than I. Doing my best to inspect it … her as I found out … without frightening the child proved easy after it fell unconscious.
Someone had cared for the child. Washed and dressed it in clean though primitive clothing. I began to wonder if I had spoiled someone's sacrifice. I'd read reports of such places as I'd just viewed. I had thought them historical anomalies brought about by religious mania or madness. It was shocking to learn that such places were still in use in our modern era. The Destruction and Chaos were far behind us. But on further consideration I realized if the Priests of the Damned could still practice their religion with such fervor it was not beyond the realm of consideration that someone would be sacrificing children to that dark god.
I thought to be away so that whoever left the child would not discover it had escaped the fate meant for it but the sun had crested the horizon and the day was already heating up. I just hope that my skin of water will last long enough that I can get us to the next seep … and that I don't run into trouble along the way.
By all the saints and martyrs combined, what am I going to do with this child?!

Memories of Vietnam 1965 1975 : photos,notes,stories from the war
This contrasts strangely with the ongoing war.
As the curfew at that time was 9 o'clock in the evening there was no real night life. Dancing was also banned.
The Cirqe Hippique served Vietnamese food, whilst the Cirque Sportif served French cuisine.
Both of course were relics of the French colonial period although oases of calm in a Saigon that was ever stressful and crowded. At least for a very small privileged minority.

Two weeks before her death.5:56 pm | December 31, 2013
You do have to wonder what she was reflecting on. She was such a tragic figure. Blessed by the gods in one way. Cursed by them in another. But then I suppose we all are in a way.11:16 am | January 21, 2014
One in three Americans do not believe in Evolution.
The son of "Duck Dynasty" emperor Phil Robertson will help FOX News ring in the New Year.
MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry (an extremely annoying person and sub-par "journalist") has been forced to apologize for her insane, insensitive segment about Mitt Romney's black grandchild.
I have told B. that Denmark looks pretty good for 2016. At least we'd be back with the swans.
Not kidding.
It's disheartening, I know, but there's a lot of decent stuff, too. You have to do what you believe is right. If you go anywhere, please make sure you can still log on and maintain contact with all of us. Life without Mr. Wow is boring as hell.
Dear Haunted One. I am staying put. I did Times Square once, way back in the 70s, when it was still kind of unfettered and wild. Once was enough. B. is cooking, I am reading Henry James, all is right in my world.6:37 pm | December 31, 2013
Oh, silly me. I thought you were referring to my going out for the night! (I'm like a sloth. Stick a pin in me and ten days later I say "ouch!")
As to leaving the country. Well, I'm in that kind of mood right now because the "DD" debacle has opened up so much hatred and fueled the conservative right to a frenzy. The Melissa Harris-Perry thing was the rancid cherry topping the sour sundae.
And I am still living with that book in my head–"Christian Nation."
I'm reading "The Tragic Muse" tonight and maybe it'll pull my mind out of Paranoia Town. (Reading real literature takes concentration. Sometimes I forget. I did so much "serious" reading as a child and young man. I have not been immune to the last 20 years of quick-cuts, shortcuts and fast online browsing.)7:20 pm | December 31, 2013
I hope you stay here. Even though you're not exactly next door or anything, I feel better to know you're out there in the U.S. somewhere and maybe I could stumble upon you and B having a croissant and hazelnut coffee and we could sit down and have a nice chat. Or something to that effect.2:14 pm | January 1, 2014
Dear Haunted One…I like that! Hazelnut coffee, yummy. I don't think I'll be leaving the country. I'll just fuss and worry a lot.
I tried to make a strong resolution about drinking in 2014. I haven't had a margarita in two weeks. Of course I feel fine and I never have an urge to drink, or to drink to excess, when I am away from "work." (I have to put it in quotes, the reality of the $ situation is so absurd.) Do I have the strength to drink an ice tea at lunch, as I decompress from the first three hours in the office, and can I avoid the truly lethal after-work alcohol dowsing? I hope so.2:25 pm | January 1, 2014
Just be glad you don't live in Texas. Or in Louisiana. As for the Duck Dynasty crowd, well, they're what is called swamp trash in Louisiana. And rich swamp trash with a reality television show is still swamp trash. And you must always consider the source.11:07 am | January 21, 2014
Ah, Marilyn–What were you thinking?
Dear Mary…Happy New Year!
I know. As an MM fanatic, I am always searching her photos, hoping the next one I come upon will tell me her secret. She is the big "what if" of prematurely dead, iconic celebrities. More than Dean, more than Elvis, more than Judy or Janis or Jim. Certainly more than Michael Jackson.6:41 pm | December 31, 2013
And, a Happy New Year to you and B. I have never liked this holiday particularly. I am one of those people who hate change, hence arriving in a new year is challenging and scary. I will be happy when Thursday arrivesOf course, I will enjoy all the football games. Go Stanford!Love and hugs,Mary6:50 pm | December 31, 2013
Yeah—it's all much ado about the very next day. I am much more sentimental about Christmas, although I have no religious investment and we don't exchange gifts anymore. (Really, after 38 years, I don't need a present to feel his love.) New Years is kind of tiresome. Except for millennial New Years. That was a thrill, I have to admit. I can't wait for the next.
Oh, yeah…right. Okay, I saw one, anyway.6:58 pm | December 31, 2013
Happy New Year, Mr Wow, B, and all here in our little corner of the world.
Marilyn Monroe looks stunning in your photo, Mr. Wow, and also, it appears she had been doing some musings of her own when the photo was taken.
Ok, I've made my first New Years Resolution in many years…I am going to watch Cleopatra, as I want to know for myself what all the fuss is about.
"…I will not be triumphed over…."
Runs off wondering if that means that she will not be made a fool of….
After watching NBC for the past 2 hours it appears I've missed every single viral video. Is this a good thing or a bad thing, I wonder?
Happy New Year, Jamie!
If you watch "Cleo" I hope you have a big screen TV. Needs to be watched epically.
Missing viral videos is always a good thing.
"I will not have love as my master."
"Then you will not have love."
"Nor will I have Octavian!"
Oh, don't get me started.11:33 pm | December 31, 2013
What musings are you having about 2014? Are they philosophical or dreads over cable news? The recent Chanel ad with MM wasn't as good as it could have been. Will Ms. Perry be true to herself and insist on her own punishment?
Dear Delusional…
Well, I put some of them above. Yes, I have sinking feeling about the increasing power of cable news. More accurately, FOX. CNN and MSNBC are essentially non-existent. MSNBC annoys me as much as FOX outrages and even frightens me.
Ms. Perry after an unforgivable 24 hours, in the which the story went "viral" as they say, did issue an unqualified apology. But too late. She never should have let the segment get out of hand. She never should have had–or have again–those unfunny "comics."
I liked the MM/Chanel. It's interesting to hear to speak, in her own voice (not the manufactured breathy thing she used for many of her roles.) And I'm sucker for mob-scene newsreel footage.
I saw the New Year in watching a marathon on TCM–all three "That's Entertainment" movies. Watching the first one, I was swept back to 1974, seeing it on opening day at The Ziegfeld Theater in Manhattan. I recall when Frank Sinatra announced Elizabeth as the next narrator, something went wrong with the projector, just as she began to glide down the staircase. The entire audience erupted into boos and shrieks until suddenly the movie snapped back on, and there she was, all gauzy and glam with her big mane of hair. (The premiere of the film was televised, a big thing back in 1974. TCM has an extended version of that premiere, with great footage of all the stars walking from the theater to the party. Miss Taylor, in between marriage to Burton, looks tan, overflowing and gorgeous in a blue Edith Head gown–pleated and goddessy.)
And I have a special soft spot for the third film. I went out to L.A. doing interviews with several of the stars, in advance of the movie opening. Hard to believe it was so long ago–1994. I was still years away from depression. Or maybe not. I was busy at least, and half-convinced I was worthy of being busy.
Just finished watching "Splendor in the Grass" and was moved again to tears by Natalie Wood. ("Spoiled? I'm not spoiled Mama! I'm a good little girl, a good girl. I'm pure and virginal, I do everything my daddy and mommy tell me to, I hate you!") This was one of several movies in which Natalie's character had huge issues with her mother–just as she did in her own real life. Woods' "mama" confrontation scenes always have a gripping electricity.
Waiting anxiously to catch "Magnificent Obsession" later today. Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson. It's kind of terrible. But you can't look away. The two were much better served by "All That Heaven Allows" another Douglas Sirk soaper, but much stronger than "M O."
Funny thing, but I love Magnificent Obsession. One of my all time favorites. I haven;t seen it in a long time—I will try to catch it.2:43 pm | January 1, 2014
I love TCM. It was the only thing that kept me half-way sane in 2013. And will probably be the only thing that keeps my half-way sane in 2014.11:04 am | January 21, 2014
For depression, Mr. Wow, I would recommend reading "Breakfast At Tiffany's" – every sentence is a Faberge egg. No one wrote more beautiful sentences than Truman Capote. It really is a work of genius which has almost nothing to do with the charming (but silly) movie.
Also, Anthony Trollope's "The Way We Live Now" is guaranteed to make you smile. (It's Bernie Madoff in the 1800′s.) It really makes you realize that there's nothing new – human behavior is constant, only the players change.
P.S. I love Henry James (especially "The Wings Of The Dove").
Oh, Dr. Sugar, you are sweet. I searched and found "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in my bookcase. Great idea!
I've never read "Wings of the Dove" or the Trollope. On my list now.4:58 pm | January 1, 2014
BBC filmed "The Way We Live Now" in 2001. It stars David Suchet. Brilliant performance.
The magnificent Juanita Moore is gone, at age 99. Everytime "Imitation of Life" is on, my sister and I watch it on TCM! Lovely lady, from what I gathered reading "Born to Be Hurt," about the making of that soap classic.
Mr. W–It sounds like we rang in the New Year the same way, Turner Classic Movie style!It was so much fun seeing those great stars, in their middle to later years, looking back on the glory days of MGM with "That's Entertainment!"
My sister made an interesting comparison, how much Elizabeth Taylor and Ann-Margaret sounded alike, having just watch "Viva Las Vegas," which was silly but boy, A-M and Elvis rocked some serious chemistry! Liz and A-M both have that scratchy, girlish voice that I find appealing, esp. in contrast to their va-va-voomness ; )
Anyway, back to real life as opposed to reel life!Cheers ; )Rick
A-M had (has) a great voice. So did Taylor when she didn't get too hysterical–shrill.
ET's voice was also much effected (and affected) by her marriage to Burton. Picked up that posh British tone. She sounded utterly un-English before her first infusion of Mr.B. And then her acting inflections became insane. Her line readings were like Bizarro World. So great! You never knew what word she'd emphasize or how, or what variable accent. It rarely made sense. Genius.
George Sidney directed "Viva Las Vegas" He was utterly obsessed with A-M (check out their two other collaborations–the enjoyable "Bye, Bye Birdie" and the unrelentingly sleazy "The Swinger.")7:49 pm | January 1, 2014
Mr. Wow–Do you remember the crazy/wonderful Catherine O'Hara's impersonation of Liz on SCTV?She had ET's interesting em-PHA-sis down to a T! (Which some say came from Monty Clift's method acting tics…)7:38 am | January 2, 2014
I do recall it.
Ummm…I don't think ET was influenced by Monty. But then again. She did give the first of her truly garish performances w Monty in "Raintree County." (For this bodice heaving carrying on she nabbed her first Oscar nom, when she was so much better in "A Place in the Sun" and "Giant.")
In "Suddenly Last Summer" (w Monty) she introduced the breath-between-words style. "It's. That. Nice. Young Man's. Specialty. He. Bores .Holes. Into. The Skull. And Operates. On. The Brain!!!!"
But what happened après Burton was beyond control or human understanding. Pauline Kael wrote of "Secret Ceremony"—"her misreading of every line approaches sublimity."
Later, she calmed back down and gave some nice, subtle performances. But my Liz is the Liz of, say–"Night Watch." ("They own that company, and that company owns that old house!" Honey, the pronunciation on "house" still makes me feel I'm drunk when I'm stone sober.)6:09 pm | January 2, 2014
Well as I recall she lost the effected/affected accent when she "waxed eloquently" with invective that would make a sailor, and everyone else, blush. And did. I've found myself using the word "crap" a lot since she died. Seemed to be her favorite word after "f**k."
Her children have "revamped" the foundation and hired two people to guide it although Bill Misenhimer had helped her to begin with as she put all the organizations seeking funding through the "smell test" and I suspect in the end it will be her one true legacy and probably the only one she really cared about apart from her children and grandchildren.11:25 am | January 21, 2014
Dear Rick…."Sarah Jane Johnson, you put your clothes on and get out of this place!"
Too bad she wasn't afforded more opportunities. She is the heart and soul of "Imitation…" Susan Kohner is the pelvis, and Miss Turner the wax figurine. (I think Turner is good in it, actually. But man, to have played that role so soon after the Stompanato business. LT was either very canny or very clueless.)
…a lot of peeps felt LT was not the most self-aware of stars…self-absorbed, yes ; )
Lana was definitely the star power of "Life," giving her best MGM dramatics performance (as Joan Crawford was wont to give!)
…so Mister WoW, what did Sandra Dee provide in "Imitation of Life"? For me, it was the desire for a pair of earmuffs!
But yes, Juanita Moore keeps it real as Annie…in the last few years, I perk up when I see those warm eyes and hear that distinctive voice in her few other movie roles!7:48 am | January 2, 2014
Dear Rick..Sandra was there to play Cheryl Crane, sans the kitchen knife.7:19 pm | January 3, 2014
OMG you are dreadful. Thank you. I haven't laughed this hard about anything in a long time.11:11 am | January 21, 2014
"…Listen, do you want to know a secret? Do you promise not to tell?…"
(I'm great with lyrics, especially The Beatles-and anything Paul McCartney)
Ok, my secret that I must confess….I did not watch Cleopatra. Without giving it a second thought, I finally watched The Hunger Games. That's right…The Hunger Games.
So, I have a new ingenue for you, Mr. Wow. Jennifer Lawrence is a breath of fresh air. So, so darling, as after the movie I watched many of her interviews. A natural, stunning young starlet who says whatever is on her mind at the time. Which could be anything, as most of the Lettermans and Lenos and Conans seemed to anxiously anticipate.
Sigh, now I'm musing …. She reminded me a bit of myself at that age.
I hope she stays the way she is now. I hope Hollywood and that big bad marketing machine doesn't change her.XO
Dear Jamie…you need a four hour stretch for "Cleo." I like Jennifer Lawrence, but not so much in the "Hunger Games" movies. She super-talented and refreshingly "natural." We'll see how that goes in the years to come.3:44 am | January 2, 2014
I disconnected my cable in May thinking that the builder would actually have the apartment done in September. Today is January 1st, may or may not be ready in time. I feel like I'm missing so much. Just crying self-pity tears.
Dear Mimi…never, never believe it when they say "next week." And never assume it. But don't cry. In time it all comes together.
The New York Times and The Guardian are pressing Obama to grant "clemency" to Edward Snowden. If O gives in to this (I despise Snowden and his slimy pal Glenn Greenwald), I may actually begin to petition for Obama's impeachment. Enough is enough–grow a pair. The guy is a criminal and an idiot. He thinks we should "ask" rather than spy. Yeah, "Oh, please, can you tell us if you're planning a terrorist attack? No? Ohhhh..nifty. I knew you'd be honest. Bye, bye."3:53 am | January 2, 2014
Welcome back and Happy New Year to you. Thank you for your kind words about my beloved Natalie Wood; her performance in Splendor is her best, I think. Unaffected, sweet, passionate and stunning. She was robbed of the Oscar.
Ah, Natalie. Lyric. Such a beautiful talent–delicate and incisive. She was also a truly lovely, nice person. Too nice to have ended up floating in Catalina Bay.5:59 pm | January 3, 2014
Mr. Wow, hope you're staying warm. In Northern Virginia we had 16 degrees this morning… AFTER the sun had been up a while!… with a wind chill of -4. Brrr. Tonight, 10 degrees.
Bundle up and stay inside, and stay safe!
We're looking at a high of -4 Monday. Yes, that's 4 below zero. Wind chills could go to -35. But, this, too, shall pass. I hope everyone here survives the Big Chill without untoward incident. This is a good time to wrap up in a warm blanket, grab a mug of hot chocolate and watch some movies.
I am sorry you are having such miserable weather, however, sitting by a fire and drinking hot chocolate ain't all bad. I was raised in Chicago and I remember those freezing days and blizzard conditions, brrr. The good news is that I moved to Los Angeles some fifty years ago and today we will be blessed with 75 degree sunshine. My eight year old grandson and I are going outside in a few minutes so I can help him learn how to ride his new bike. Sounds like fun to me.Happy New Year!12:53 pm | January 4, 2014
Thanks. I appreciate that. I lived in L.A. for about 20 years. It has it's good and bad like any place. I always missed the climate in the Midwest but it's not to everyone's taste. This is not the normal winter weather for us but it's only for a few days. I spent two winters in North Dakota. Now that's some nasty cold weather and not for just a few days.1:37 pm | January 5, 2014
Tuesday we are expecting single-digits PLUS a wind chill to take the effective temps below zero. Something DC people are NOT used to. I am lending my Russian sheepskin coat (a "dublyonka") to a friend who will use it commuting to the Pentagon next week. No wind will cut through that!! I last wore it when I was working in the Pentagon and we had a cold snap in the single digits… the parking lot is open and windswept… and parking is so far away it can take 10 minutes or more to get from the building to your car. One co-worker at that time was wearing just his usual business suit and trench coat and trying to be all brave and manly; got to his car and then noticed that the keys were in the ignition… he had locked them in there that morning. He turned and RAN all the way back to the building, to hell with dignity at that point.6:36 pm | January 4, 2014
Haunted, what state or city are you in that is so cold right now? Brrr.11:02 pm | January 4, 2014
I'm in south-central Michigan. This is unusually cold and it's forecast to warm up a little by Thursday. I believe this is why God created cats, hot chocolate and movies.
Seriously, I'm glad to be retired and not have to go out in this. I have plenty of food and cat litter and can make it just fine to Thursday. The snow looks pretty and I'm warm so have no real complaint.1:31 pm | January 5, 2014
I am happy to hear that you have your cat by your side and are warm and cozy. These could be the best of times to be lazy and with no place to go. Sounds great.1:37 pm | January 5, 2014
Ditto, Mary! It is a good time to stay in and watch the world through the windows.
I will be going out to help my neighbor with her barn chores so she can more quickly get back inside her warm house, too! I think I shall have to pull out my old LL Bean down coat and insulated boots (the Russian sheepskin coat is great but on loan to a friend, and I would not want it to smell like horses anyway). Used to think about getting rid of my super-cold weather gear- "When will I ever need this again?" Now I'm glad I never did.
Not "global warming," even though the overall average temps are getting warmer. "Climate change" is much more accurate.5:30 pm | January 5, 2014
Despite the cold, it's really rather nice in the New York-ish area (I still self-identify as a native New Yorker, tho I live in Hoboken and am in fact a Jersey-ite, or whatever.)
It's sunny and there's very little wind. Brisk, I say.
Mary–I recall my year in Chicago w B. Now, that was frigid weather! Brutal.
It was so cold, my car would not start. Had to get a new battery.

As we all know that there are three courses in flights – economic system class, enterprise class and top notch. Most kinds of insurance packages cover trip cancellation insurance coverage, travel well being, medical evacuation, baggage loss, extra valuation and plenty of others. So, here you sit together with her traveling – and let's even be clear about this – having sex with this other guy. While I get pleasure from those accounts, I prefer to comply with travelers who're photographers, storytellers, and encourage us to travel extra all in once place.
As you develop your record, study new abilities, save money and imbibe the business spirit amongst members of your family, your own home-primarily based travel business has no other strategy to go, but up. The financial rewards that can ultimately follow can be enough to persuade you that you have made the right choice when you selected to operate your travel enterprise from residence.
One will get his or her a refund should reservations or travel arrangements not observe the agreed upon schedule. The order no longer covers legal residents or current visa holders, and makes waivers doable for some enterprise, diplomatic and other travelers. Individuals who have already got worked in the field offline should nonetheless consider starting as a work from home travel agent for someone else.
A novel written by Jules Verne can be a nice idea to write your travel essays on, for this you has to learn the e-book, however when you hate reading then you may as well watch the film that was released in 2004, starring Jackie Chan which was totally primarily based on this novel however will probably be better in the event you undergo the whole book as a result of it is going to be intimately describing every aspect.
One tip for travel in Russia is that it may take a minimum of two weeks to get a visa, so plan properly so to get all the necessary travel paperwork in a timely style. During your travel you will have an excellent alternative to observe rich tradition and civilization of the God's personal country – Kerala, and from the sacred Ganges to the sands of the Thar Desert, the country's boundaries encompass incomparable variety.

After 36 years in the EU, the UK still LOVES paying fines!
UK faces EU fines over reliance on landfill
"The UK faces being hit by massive EU fines over its continued reliance on landfill sites for rubbish with the taxpayer picking up the bill.
The Government has been slammed by MPs for failing to respond quickly enough to an EU directive which set tough targets on the amount of waste that can be sent to landfill."
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthn ... dfill.html
Department allows £300m for EU fines
"Britain has set aside nearly £300m to cover fines and potential fines from Brussels over irregularities in monitoring European regional aid.
The Department for Communities and Local Government reveals in its annual report that it has made "repayments" of £40m in the last year and made contingent liabilities of up to £284m. This marks a rise of £74m from earlier in the year when officials were forced to admit the scale of the problem."
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/cf47127e-8b8d ... ck_check=1
EU fines for exceeding milk quota
"The European Commission has issued €364m in fines after nine member states exceeded their milk quotas for the year up to 31 March this year.
The states - Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain and Austria - accounted for a combined overrun of one million tonnes."
http://www.foodnavigator.com/Financial- ... milk-quota
UK risks fines over EU bathing water law
EU to reprimand UK spending
"BRUSSELS - The European Commission is set to trigger legal action against the UK over an excessive budget deficit, pressing London to cut the deficit below the EU's 3 percent of GDP limit by March next year.
But the legal action would amount to no more than a public reprimand as EU fines in this area are limited to eurozone members."
EU fines glassmakers €487m for cartel
"EU antitrust regulators today fined glass makers Asahi, Guardian, Pilkington and Saint-Gobain €487m for running an illegal price fixing cartel.
The European Commission accused the companies of conspiring to coordinate price hikes and taking other actions to control prices for flat glass used in construction through illegal meetings from early 2004 to early 2005.
The four companies hold a combined 80% share of the European flat glass market, which was worth €1.7 billion in 2004, according to the European Commission."

|Summary, etc.:
A century ago, the Sentience Wars tore the galaxy apart and nearly ended the entire concept of intelligent space-faring life. In the aftermath, a curious tradition was invented-something to cheer up everyone who was left and bring the shattered worlds together in the spirit of peace unity, and understanding. Once every cycle, the civilizations gather for galactivision-part gladiatorial contest, part beauty pageant, part concert extravaganza, and part continuation of the wars of the past. Instead of competing in orbital combat, the powerful species that survived face off in a competition of song, dance or whatever can be physically performed in an intergalactic talent show. The stakes are high for this new game, and everyone is forced to compete. This year, though, humankind has discovered the enormous universe. And while they expected to discover a grand drama of diplomacy, gunships, wormholes, and stoic councils of aliens, they have instead found glitter, lipstick, and electric guitars. Mankind will not get to fight for its destiny-they must sing. A band of human musicians, dancers, and roadies have been chosen to represent Earth on the greatest stage in the galaxy. And the fate of their species lies in their ability to rock.

Below Rs.500 Per Night Stay
Much the same as right this moment, Omaha was culturally segregated within the early twentieth century. The most well-known product to take dwelling with you is prosciutto di San Daniele, a scrumptious Friulian ham, similar, though some would say superior to, Parma ham. The Trump Tower has among the finest areas in Chicago – touting nice views of the chicago River and ease of entry to the monetary district known as the Chicago Loop that is the commerce hub for this nice city. I assume each person who knows a feminine who travels (staying in accommodations) should share this data as quickly as attainable. Hotels and resorts in the solar, in contrast to metropolis accommodations catering to business vacationers, can afford a sure informality of their uniforms.
Although it has a popularity for being all-bathing-go well with shoots, much of the modeling work in Miami is for the varied catalogs shot there; the vast majority of shoppers are from national and worldwide marketplaces. Let's evaluation the highest luxurious hotels and see where their headquarters and where the vast majority of their staffing is positioned. Green Hotels Association®'s first objective is to present our members all the data we are able to collect on ways to conserve and save.
Also, you might wish to add the strategy that Zack at MHC in fb disclosed by buying decorations to your motels you achieve fast one time xp. I have used this, too, in the early phases to realize levels, however after Zack disclosed it, I put more ideas and I suppose it is one other instrument to use for severe players. Mears Airport Shuttle is obtainable from Orlando International Airport to your Walt Disney World Resort lodge.
There are just a few four-star lodges with a license (but not many) and not all five-star resorts are licensed, so do not assume a five-star resort will robotically have alcohol. Adler and Sullivan received the fee to build the Auditorium Building in 1887, years before it was evident that Chicago would change into the Metropolis of the Midwest, not to mention rise to International prominence by internet hosting a World's Fair in 1893.
Since Monopoly Hotels is a free game, EA has chosen to help it by making actual cash selling in-recreation gold as a method for gamers to entry a number of the premium rooms and resorts. I additionally agree that reading reviews about hotels can sometimes be ineffective with numerous conflicting critiques. One of the items the Peninsula Hotel is famous for is its views and its Chicago location exemplifies this essential notice of distinction. The fifth Disney theme park on this planet, Hong Kong Disneyland is located in Penny's Bay on Lantau Island. In addition to the Broadview and Patton, there have been two different Black-friendly accommodations listed within the Green Book.

Tennis: FO women's final decided: Samantha Stotur vs. Francesca Schiavone
So it's been decided that French Open will have a first-time grand slam winner this Saturday. Samantha Stosur defeated Jelena Jankovic easily and Schiavone defeated Dementieva after she retired losing the first set tie-break.
While Stosur's been playing solid the whole clay court season and her arrival in the final is not a big surprise, Schiavone on the other hand, a veteran on the tour at her late 20s, who is thought of as a decent player with untapped potentials, is a big surprise finalist. It is unfortunate for Dementieva who had to retire after the first set. Many thought this FO will be the one for her, she is arguably the best player on the tour who have not won a grand slam yet. Oftentimes the critics refer to her nerves as a major roadblock, but this time it is unfortunately an injury that's stopping her from finally winning a slam (the four semi-finalist all have a losing record against her, and she is also the only one of two who've been in a major final). It must be heart-wrenching to let something so unpredictable to ruin an important moment in her career.
But, the final is set, and the game must go on, It'll be Stosur, the talented Aussie, who's a consummate professional with multiple weapons on a tennis court, who's beaten Justin Henin and Serena Williams en route to the final, versus Schiavone, the feisty and tricky Italian who must be on cloud nine after reaching the FO final. Who will it be? On paper they're pretty even, with neither having prior experience, it should be an interesting battle that will come down to nerves and execution. I predict Stosur winning in two sets and thus becoming the first Australian to win a grand slam since the 1950s.

Mummy made a cake today and gave us a plate with leftover strawberries.
It was quite tricky to eat and chase Jessie at the same time.
Mummy even picked me up and put the plate closer to Jessie but she didn't realise that Jessie doesn't like strawberries. Jessie doesn't like any goodies I think. But Bambino does. I was a good girl and cleaned the plate.
Mummy went to the kitchen to find pineapple for Jessie. Then she held me tight while Jessie was eating. I said that Jessie doesn't like goodies. She only eats to be polite. Mummy put me down before Jessie had finished chewing and I almost made her choke on the pineapple. Now I am in the kitchen and wonder how I can get up to the stove and quality check the strawberry-banana-lemon-lavender cake.

Most Helpful Girl
Don't find it weird, I support anyone's decision to do what they wish with their body so long as it isn't causing harm, and yes, I was in a four year relationship with a man who occasionally wore black/grey nail polish.
I like to think that, but then, as you can see with every other person on this question, they find it to be very bad. If the only backlash was a few insults I would be fine, and I would wear it all the time (when my parents are gone for the day I will apply it and remove it before they return). But friendships would end, my parents would most likely attempt to find some kind of therapist or something (just in general, try to change who I am). So I never get the courage to keep it on.
- Show AllShow Less
Sooooo like what would you say I should do? Just keep on wearing it temporarily? Or one day get the courage to wear it all say (at school, at home, in front of my friends and family)?
Yes, basically. Wear it where and when you feel comfortable.

China is incredible – incredibly good, incredibly bad, and incredibly bizarre. There is no middle ground.
Just when you think you'll make it and actually have a shot at fully enjoying yourself, China throws a sucker punch to your gut and you're left wondering what the hell to do next.
Two of my students, Ashley and Ann, came to our apartment Saturday to show us how to use the washing machine, heaters, and DVD player (all of the instructions are in Chinese). Afterwards, they showed us some cool things in our neighborhood. We had no idea that a huge fruit stand is less than 50 meters from our doorstep or that a fantastic Muslim udon noodle shop is just around the corner. For you Fargoans, this shop is like the Drunken Noodle, except homemade and authentic (for everyone else, imagine a Noodles & Co.)
We haven't eaten at that noodle shop yet, but it looks just like the one we've eaten at on campus. They make their noodles in the shop and there are about 30 different dishes to choose from – averaging no more than $1.25 each. From what we've heard, the Muslims in China know what's up when it comes to noodles.
After that they took us to a place to buy an English map of Hangzhou (finally we know where we live)! Then we got on a city bus to West Lake. The bus was packed and it was a fight to even find something to hold on to as the bus accelerated, stopped, and turned unexpectedly. (Definitely one of China's punches).
West Lake was beautiful (check out my Flikr photos). We arrived at sunset and I was anxious to take a lot of photos in the perfect light. The lake itself was serene, but it was surrounded by a lot of activity.
Starbucks, McDonald's and Papa Johns were mingling with Gucci, Prada and Ferragamo, who had invited their friends Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and Lamborghini to enjoy the lovely view of the lake.
From the lake, our tour guides took us to a bus station. We were getting off at Hangzhou Tower and they were going to take the bus all the way back to the university in Xiasha.
"This is not a time to be polite," Ann told us. We were waiting in a queue at a gate, the gate was going to open when the bus was ready to let us in. By "queue" I actually mean a shuffling blob of people anxiously trying to get to the front.
As soon as the bus pulled up, people started shoving. Ann and Ashley kept looking at Alex and I, worried that we wouldn't be able to push our way onto the bus in time.
They underestimated our feistiness.
We threw elbows. We were pushed, so we pushed back. We all looked like salmon trying to spawn. But we made it.
When we got off at Hangzhou Tower, we sought out a good restaurant. The tower is a massive upscale mall made up of four multi-storied buildings. Each floor had its own them: shoes, menswear, sports wear, luggage…Where was the floor of food we were promised was there?
At last we saw a restaurant. After a long, awkward exchange with the waitress, we finally figured out that it was a fondue restaurant. We were starving so we filled up mostly on the sushi and mushroom appetizers. We're fairly certain that our pot of boiling water on the table produced stomach lining and garden variety meats. Overall, the dinner was decent – expensive, but good.
The explosions started as we were finishing our dinner. Hangzhou puts on one of the world's largest fireworks displays every year, and Alex and I had pretty much accepted the fact we weren't going to get to see any because we had no idea how to get to Jen.
The booms and pops sounded like they were just outside the restaurant, though. We told the waitress we wanted to watch, to which she replied by leading us to the bathroom. A few moments later she rushed back and was like "ohhh, fireworks!" and pointed to the sky.
She led us out onto the 8th floor balcony of the building, which was filled with restaurant and custodial staff. The fireworks were being launched less than 500m away from us – essentially a front row view.
We looked around the corner of the building and another equally huge show was going off – the whole city was filled with fireworks. For 30 minutes, fireworks equal to the grand finale of the July 4 show in DC were going on all around us. The smoke was so thick that sparks were colorless near the ground.
This was definitely one of those moments that China made us fall in love.
Once the show was over, Alex and I found the floor of the shopping mall that sold alcohol and we bought two mini bottles of cheap red wine and drank it out on the street (which may or may not have been illegal).
It was approximately 9:15 when we decided to venture home.
For the next two hours we tried hailing cabs; five or six empty ones pulled up and the driver shouted, "Hello! Hahaha!" then drove off. Things got increasingly competitive and we were continually beat out by Chinese people whose addresses were more appealing to the driver.
We were tired and near tears. Out of desperation we made some friends on the street with some Chinese boys who thought we were whiney and we chatted with some Mexicans who were having the same difficulty as us.
Low blow, China, low blow.
At last we spotted a cab that the passengers were getting out of. Alex sprinted towards them and was shouting our address, I quickly followed and literally threw my notebook with our address printed in it over the passenger and to the driver. The poor guy in the front seat didn't know what was going on, but he made sure we were the first ones in the cab.
That's essentially how life works here – when it's good, it's great. When it's bad, the challenges seem insurmountable. I'm craving middle ground, and I'm not sure I'm going to get it.

KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) � Tropical Storm Isaac targeted a broad swath of the Gulf Coast today and had New Orleans in its cross hairs, bearing down just ahead of the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
The potential for a landfall as a Category 1 hurricane as soon as tomorrow prompted evacuations along a wide area of the Gulf Coast and sent people out to stock up on staples.
"I gassed up � truck and generator," said John Corll, 59, a carpenter, as he left a New Orleans coffee shop this morning.
He went through Katrina in 2005 and was expecting a weaker storm this time, adding that he thinks the levee system is in better shape to handle a storm surge than when Katrina hit.
"I think the state and local governments are much better prepared for the storm surge and emergencies," Corll said.
Isaac blew past the Florida Keys and was rolling toward the northwest over the open Gulf of Mexico today. The National Hurricane Center predicted it would grow to a hurricane with winds between 74 and 95 mph over the warm water and possibly hit sometime tomorrow along a roughly 300-mile stretch from the bayous southwest of New Orleans to the edge of the Florida Panhandle.
That would be one day shy of seven years after Katrina struck catastrophically in 2005, though Katrina was a much stronger Category 5 storm with winds above 157 miles per hour.
At 10 a.m. Missouri time today, Isaac remained a tropical storm with top sustained winds of 65 mph.
Its center was about 310 miles southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River, and it was moving northwest at 14 mph.
The size of the warning area and the storm's wide bands of rain and wind prompted emergency declarations in four states, and hurricane-tested residents were boarding up homes, stocking up on food and water, or preparing to evacuate.
On the Alabama coast, Billy Cannon, 72, was preparing to evacuate with several cars packed with his family and four Chihuahuas from a home on a peninsula in Gulf Shores. Cannon, who has lived on the coast for 30 years, said he thinks the order to evacuate today was premature.
"If it comes in, it's just going to be a big rainstorm. I think they overreacted, but I understand where they're coming from. It's safety," he said.
Although Pensacola seemed less likely to get a direct hit, the owners of a Ferris Wheel-like beach attraction were busy today removing passenger cabins and readying for a storm they hoped would not prove too disruptive.
"We just want to get back open and get the people back out there," said one of the owners, Todd Schneider.
The storm that left eight dead in Haiti blew past the Florida Keys with little damage and promised a drenching but little more for Tampa, where today's planned start of the Republican National Convention was pushed back a day.
Isaac could pack a watery double punch for the Gulf Coast. If it hits during high tide, the storm could push floodwaters as deep as 12 feet onto shore in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and as deep as 6 feet in the Florida Panhandle while dumping up to 18 inches of rain over the region, the National Weather Service warned.
The oncoming storm stopped work on rigs that account for 24 percent of daily oil production in the U.S. portion of the Gulf of Mexico and 8 percent of daily natural gas production there, the federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement said in its latest update yesterday.
The Gulf of Mexico accounts for 23 percent of total U.S. crude oil production, 7 percent of the nation's natural gas and more than 40 percent of refining capacity.

At the Barre by Steven Meeker Jr. (Book/Lyrics), Sarah Flaim (Music)
This presentation is directed by Allison Acuff
|At the Barre is a musical in two acts that combines musical theater with mime, ballet, stage combat, clown, contemporary dance, and indie pop music.

I have not died. Although after healing up from my epic stair descending fail, I caught a cough, it's been 5 weeks and one day. I've offered to give it away, and no one will take it.
tutorial, by Shelley. I went to school with her, mom worked with her mom, her sister is my neighbour, although we've never been formally introduced. The cream one is my mom's, the rose one is my mother-in-law's. I made them each one for no good reason. I ran out of supplies before I could make mine and I haven't had time to start it because I have gone and done something mighty stupid. I got an "outside the house" job. Part-time at London Drugs. I am not adjusting well. Maybe payday will help.
I also made the garland and would like to make the other things Shelley shows tutorials for but I have to be realistic, it's probably not going to happen. I did notice her sister has a nice wreath on her front door, might be on mine if I don't get one done.
I only have one regret...I told Karen I felt bad that she only got to work on her Christmas cards at the retreat while everyone around worked on layouts, mini albums, She Art, etc. Now, Karen has finished, and probably mailed Christmas cards. I have nothing.
I've also discovered that life doesn't end if you fall asleep at 8 and don't get to watch Criminal Minds, CSI, or Law and Order:SVU. With no PVR anymore, I can't even record my favourites, and oddly enough, I'm okay with it.
Hopefully, I get back here before Christmas. If I don't, I hope my 2 readers have the best Christmas ever!

So if you long for your kids to be able to touch some real snow, take them out to Matroosberg and let them enjoy the white wonder. Or take them to the ice rink at Grand West or the tiny one which is currently set up at the V&A Waterfront.

In a ruling earlier this month, an Oklahoma appellate court ruled in JP Energy Marketing LLC v. Commerce and Industry Insurance Co., No. 115285, 2017 WL 7903997 (Okla. Civ. App. March 01, 2018), that additional insured status would be afforded to a project owner despite the absence of a direct contract between the project owner and the subcontractor requiring that the project owner be named as an additional insured, finding that a direct contract was not required where the insurance policies did not use the words "between" or "direct" to describe the level of contractual relationship that would give rise to additional insured status. The decision underscores the importance of carefully evaluating the language used in "additional insured" provisions, which can vary widely in scope and effect.

My friend Lori shared this easy recipe for Artisan Bread
It truly is EASY and does it not look like I just ran to the bakery???
It is from the cookbook...Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day.
6 -1/2 cups all purpose flour (or bread flour)
1 - 1/2 T yeast (2 packets)
1 - 1/2 T kosher salt
3 cups warm water
mix together yeast, salt, and warm water.(no need to let the yeast sit)
add in flour and mix...this is a "no knead" dough
mix well and let sit covered (but not air tight) in the bowl for at least 2 hours or better yet, make the dough in the morning and bake in the afternoon ...you can also do it overnight in the fridge
then divide into 2 large loafs or 4 grapefruit size
place each dough on floured parchment paper and shape into loafs
(I did the dutch oven method)...so preheat oven to 500 degrees, and place dutch oven in to heat up for 20 minutes (my dutch oven is a "le crueset" style with a metal knob on the lid...if your knob is not metal, I read you could cover it with foil to make it ovenproof to 500. there are other methods which you can read about HERE
once heated...take one of the loaves, flour the top and slice across the top (4 or so times)....CAREFULLY take the dutch oven out of the oven and remove the lid, and place the dough ON the parchment paper inside and cover...place back in oven for 15 min....let additional loaves just sit while one bakes
after 15 min...remove lid, turn oven down to 450 and bake another 15 min...remove and place on cooling rack.
before you bake the next loaf put the lid of the dutch oven back in at 500 to pre-heat

The song contest's losers – Telegraph.co.uk
Not only do we mock the contest itself, but we lampoon other European countries for taking it so seriously, and they all retaliate by voting for each other every year and ignoring our (sometimes) palpably superior songs. Accordingly, we have become the Millwall FC of Eurovision: we are hated, we know we are hated, and we pretend we are happy to be hated. It's actually quite a sad state of affairs… Not only do we mock the contest itself, but we lampoon other European countries for taking it so seriously, and they all retaliate by voting for each other every year and ignoring our (sometimes) palpably superior songs.

Nigerian pastor finds new flock in Ukraine – BBC News
Speaking in accented Russian he tells the youthful congregation they should abstain not just from sex but also kissing before marriage. Then looking close to tears, with his hands in the air, he says a prayer. Today he is preaching to more than 10,000 people at the same place in Kiev that was used to host the Eurovision Song Contest last year. The Embassy of God hires this venue once a month. Normally services are held at a dilapidated hall in an industrial part of the capital and at other churches throughout the country. Uncertain response
Pastor Sunday says he has faced a lot of hostility in Ukraine. "Can you imagine a black man coming from Africa, in this society; here you are lucky if you are white because if you are black you will feel the difference," claims Mr Adelaja.
Dancers set to leave city reeling – BBC News
This was transformed into a full-length stage show which toured the world and made a star of Michael Flatley, who later starred as the self-styled Lord of the Dance. The announcement of the return to Belfast of the world contest for a fourth time was made at the launch of the Ulster championships, which are held at the Waterfront Hall between 9 and 12 November. More than 1,000 dancers will be representing 10 counties, as Louth also competes under the Ulster banner. Competitors dance two rounds with the best recalled – X Factor-style – for a solo dance to their own choreographed steps.

To anyone who may be a reader: I know, I'm sorry. It's been so long. I just got caught up with real life: school, work, lady friend. But now that all of those are gone (regrettably, all three of them in fact... I don't want to be broke, damn it) I have time to post. I think I'll skip over the rest of the Lengua Armada EPs just because it's been so long and I'm just not feeling it anymore.
Instead, I'm posting one of my favorite and indeed one of the most overlooked Swervedriver singles. The tunes are what you would expect out of Swervedriver, if not a bit more slowed down and melancholy. I found this record, along with many other good ones, some time last summer. It's definitely fitting my state of mind right now, and what better day to post it than on a gloomy day such as this one (it's actually bright and sunny this morning here in California, but yesterday's May rain is remaining in my head.)
This is out of print.
