It's just all so twisted and tangled up, all the patriarchy and hatred of sex, attended by "allowed" sex like cheerleaders, mixed up with the emotional outlets of religion and sports (feigned war) and sex and then brewed into a stew of commercialism and . . . .

It's about community, about social life, not about worship. The parish throws wine & cheese parties for newcomers, organizes buses to baseball games, has barbecues on the lawn, & all sorts of stuff like that; why not have some of the gang over for the big game?

Seriously, people have been sold a bill of goods. Especially women. They all expect to meet that special someone and go off into the sunset of a perfect life. It just doesn't work that way, despite what a half hour sitcom tells us. People just smell bad sometimes and don't always behave as they should. I'm not saying you should settle for just anyone, but if the love is there, it is worth working through the pitfalls.
I mean Caine. Kane had adventures, but he had lots of money.
watertiger - I developed a theory years ago - it involved a duplex with a one-way doggie door that you could push the kids through and lock whenever you had enough.
American Figure skating has gone to the dumps. The TV audience is 25% of what it was ~ 4 years ago. People are blaming it on all the 'Made-4-TV" pro extravaganzas that are on all the time. Me, I still enjoy having the camera closely follow a 16 YO girl in a tiny skirt skating around, bent over for 20 seconds before spinning in the air and landing on her tush in an icy explosion. But I am a rare patron of the fine arts.

Some of what Molly is saying about the megachurches as entertainment I think it absolutely right. But I also remember in Bagnoreggio, Italy, when the group I was with sang a concert in their church. The whole town showed up and afterward, a wine bar was opened in side the church. Two doors were opened, a table set up in the doorway and two young ladies sold glasses of wine.
That was pretty damn nice.

I told him, I don't know how you made it that long. I would have been throwing things at people by the end of the first month.
NTodd, you should do a picture book of your pack. I think it would be a great success.
i guess there is the choreography and whats music the skaters will be using.
hah at the recent European Figure Skating Championship this Belgian, Kevin Van Der Perren did his Long Programme to the theme tune to Pirates of the Caribbean.
he won a bronze medal.

People just smell bad sometimes and don't always behave as they should. I'm not saying you should settle for just anyone, but if the love is there, it is worth working through the pitfalls.

But how do you fall in love with somebody that smells bad?
I have friends who've managed to stay married by living in two different cities for about 10 years now.
Starting on year four, and really need to pull the plug on this. Been draggin' my feet because I can't figure out what's equitable with respect to retirement funds, if any. Currentlly sending her more of my paycheck than is reasonable and that's only doable since I'm living with my aunt and mother. That's gotta change, though. Another bullet I'm reluctant to bite.

Our landlords in our Park Slope place had a great arrangment. She lived on the first floor, he on the second.

The one and only time I landed in the hospital as an adult, I wanted to scream at all the people showing up to visit. The caring was wonderful, but I was in pain and just wanted to be left alone. So I'd pretend to fall asleep so they'd leave.
I'm going to hell aren't I?
You know Zap I wonder about that. That is the ONE big no no that they aren't supposed to do. But they just can't help themselves. Why do they get away with it?
Because one will turn them in!
Now of course they will have people who disagree, but to be the actual person who tapes the sermon and then sends it to the IRS? You would be kicked out of the community. And most people don't want that, especially if they joined the church.

I witnessed a spectacular figure skating crash once. When my kid was into skating, we went to one of those pro skating exhibitions. A pair were skating and they lost their balance. The girl landed face first on the ice and got up with blood pouring down her forehead, looking like she was in WWE Smackdown. When they came out for their bows at the end of the program, she had a big hunk of white gauze taped to her dome.

My younger sister asked us not to come and see her because she got upset and felt she was ok when we hadn't been there recently.

No, you're not. This is one reason I am always kind of hesitant to visit when someone I know is in the hospital. I feel the same way - "please don't come see me - I feel and look like shit." My husband, however, better damn well show up.

Thousands of people have protested in Madrid against negotiations between Spain's government and Eta, a Basque separatist group.
Organised by the Foro Ermua group, Saturday's march was backed by the opposition Popular Party (PP).
Mariano Rajoy, the PP's leader, and Jose Maria Aznar, a former prime minister, attended.
The crowd shouted slogans calling for the resignation of Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, the socialist prime minister.
An Eta ceasefire ended last December when a bomb blast in at Madrid airport killed two Ecuadorians. The attack led the government to cancel a nine-month-old peace process.

A truck bomb has exploded in a food market in a predominantly Shia area of Baghdad, killing at least 130 people and wounding more than 300 others.
The attacker was driving a truck carrying food on Saturday when he detonated his explosives, destroying shops and stalls that had been set up in the busy outdoor Sadriyah market, police said, giving the casualty toll.
Officials said nearby hospitals were being flooded with victims from the blast.
The blast occurred at 4.40pm as the market was crowded with people buying food for their evening meal.

You got that right Jennifer. At Eschacon the chick were ALL over him. Like white on rice. (Can I say that?)
Spocko, since you asked so nicely:
bouef bourgignon a la moi-meme
DETAILS! Can you cook it with out a Crockpot?
Yes, you can. Any big ol' stew pot that you can put on the back burner and let cook real slow all afternoon will do fine.
Here we go.
a pound or two of boneless short ribs (I've got 1.5 in today's stew)
some cabernet
some beef stock
a clove or two of garlic
an onion or two
two or three stalks of celery
a pound of sliced mushrooms
a bay leaf
thyme
worcestershire sauce
Chop the onions & garlic. Slice the celery stalks. Sweat those together in a big covered pan until the onions are transparent and the celery slices start to wilt. Throw 'em in the stew pot with the sliced mushrooms.
Cut up the short ribs into more or less bite-sized pieces and brown them in the big covered pan. Throw them into the pot, too, along with the juice from the pan.
Some people would prefer not to use the pan juice -- there's a lot of fat there. If so, adjust the quantity of beef stock accordingly.
Add maybe half a cup of beef stock (I like the stock that comes in packages like juice boxes) and about a generous glass of the cabernet. Throw in the bay leaf, a dash of worcestershire, a shake of thyme.
Put the cover on the pot and let it cook on the lowest setting all afternoon. If it boils, the fire's too hot. Taste the sauce every once in a while and add more wine or worcestershire if you think it needs it. Salt & pepper to taste.
I'm going to serve this over mashed potatoes 'cause I like it like that. It's also good over noodles.
flory - when I was in architecture school and working in studio all hours of the night, I often commented that by the time I went home, I smelled like a spoilt pork roast.
Nasty, man. And the caffeine farts. It was not pleasant up there late at night.

a week or so ago I read about Darcey Bussell and how she suffered bone spurts which were causing her immense pain.
she had surgery done.
but they seem to survive in painkillers and regular trips to the physiotherapist.
and yet you see a ballet dancer perform the Rose Adagio or some complex dance routine and they make it look effortless.

Mr. QL & I will share a bento box.
So he calls me at work yesterday from DE and tells me he has to stay an extra day cause he just can't wake up. He tells me he fell asleep at the table drinking coffee. So, I say okay, check in later. And he doesn't. Take the phone to bed with me and get up at 3:00 a.m. worrying why he hasn't called, but don't want to call him cause I'm afraid of waking him up. By 9:30 I was dressed and ready to hop on Amtrak to see if he was still alive. I had imagined he had stroked out, had a heart attack, something.
Nope he calls, all chipper, he felt better by 9 last night and stayed up most of the night and just finished a little nap. What he also neglected to tell me was that he was falling asleep drinking coffee because he hadn't slept at all the night before. Grrrrrrrrr.

when I was in Switzerland I tripped over a railway line.
see over there you can wonder across the railtracks up in the mountains, and they have these jagged teeth which pull up the train up the mountain.
anyways my dad and I had come back from a difficult walk and had suffered a awful bus ride to the station.
so for some reason we decided to rush, my foot got caught on the jagged teeth, threw me forwards so i bashed my knee aganst the mental bar and fell back against the jagged teeth.

Belted down, should make you feel like this.
OK, if Moon gets to tell her morphine story, I get to tell mine.
When I broke my ankle and finally, hours later, got to G/town Hospital, I managed to convince the doctor that I was in real pain and he was about to order morphine for me. He asked what I did and I told him that I was a lawyer. Jokingly (hahaha) he told the nurse, "Let her wait." Son: "I'm a lawyer, too." D-i-L: "Me, too. A prosecutor." Doctor: "OK, morphine coming right up." It sure did make the pain stop right away.
so I in so much pain, I could not walk without it causing me well pain.
i was a crying so much and my dad was trying to calm me down.
so i was taken on a strecther to the station master's office while he rang up for assistance, so me on the stretcher was screwed to the floor of the train and was taken down to Wengen, so we were then picked up by a ambulance and ferried to the local doctors.
Yes, spocko, just ask for boneless beef short ribs.

so at the doctors he did a x-ray on my knee, thought i could be sent home but I cried every time i tried to walk on it, so back on the stretcher, down the mountain to Lauterbrunen where another ambulance was waiting for me, which took me to Interlarken Hospital.
I was taken to a examination room and by this time I need to have a wee, so i asked for one of those kidney shaped bowls to relive myself.
the doctor came in and said i would be in for overnight observation and they would discuss whether i was going to have surgery on my knee or not.

luckily they decided I was young and fit enough that it would heal without surgery.

"Oh, resorting to puns again?" she asked starchily.
I don't even know if "starchily" is a word.
here it is again, for anyone who got the scroll-troll message last time I posted the recipe:
Bouef bourgignon a la moi-meme
1 or maybe 2 pounds boneless beef short ribs; a pound or so sliced mushrooms; an onion or two; a clove of garlic or two; two or three stalks of celery; some cabernet or whatever red you've got hanging around; some beef stock; thyme, worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, salt & pepper to taste.
Chop the onions, mince the garlic, slice the celery; sweat them in a big covered pan until the onions are transparent and the celery's starting to wilt. Throw them into the crock pot or stew pot along with the mushrooms.
Cut the short ribs into bite-size pieces. Brown them lightly in the big covered pan; throw them into the pot along with the pan juice. (Some people would rather not use the pan juice because of the fat; if so, adjust the amount of beef stock accordingly.)
Add about half a cup of beef stock and a generous glass full of cabernet; the bay leaf, a dash or two of worcestershire sauce, a shake or two of thyme.
Let it stew gently all afternoon; if it boils, turn down the heat. Taste the sauce every once in a while & add more wine or worcestershire. Salt & pepper to taste.
I serve it on a bed of mashed potatoes; you might like noodles. Serve with green salad & more red wine.
There! Did that work?!?!

My theory about NASCAR is this: all the fans are relatives (even if distantly related) to the drivers.
I know I didn't get hugely interested in NASCAR until my sister's nephew started racing. Then you end up watching to see if he's going to make it the entire race. He started two Busch races last year and finished only one. In the second race, he had a raft of problems, ending with contact with a wall and a concussion.
So there's that morbid fascination with wondering if a relative's going to end up like Dale Earnhart Sr., in addition to all the other stuff going on.

Tony Blair's aides have moved to dismiss talk of him being a spent force and a liability.
He is due to stand down this year but one senior aide said he will be working "flat out" until he announces the day.
Mr Blair has come under pressure to go now after being interviewed as a witness for a second time by police investigating cash-for-honours claims.
Later, he is expected to tell activists Labour will only win a fourth straight election with the right policies.
Mr Blair will appeal to the party to take forward his reform programme and say the next general election will not be decided by "controversy that passes".

I did, almost two weeks ago. But you have to get back into eating slowly and I've had something other than soups only for a few days so far. Your stomach shrinks and it's hard to eat enough.

I liked The Thin Red Line a lot better.
I liked the two equally for different reasons. Ryan was cool because the cranked frame rate and crushed colors, which made it chaotic and strangely realistic in the combat scenese, even though I didn't dig the plot. Red Line is just gorgeous and lush, with such a philosophical, thoughtful feel with the narrative.

I like this one a lot as well, though after reading the book I wish someone would make another version much truer to the novel.
It would, however, be something that one would have to do on HBO or such. Maybe a 3 1/2 hour movie could do it.

With a movie like Das Boot, it heightens the realism to have the actors speak German, with subtitles. This film more than others needs to sustain that atmosphere. Which it does incredibly well.

Oh, and not having followed the discussion at all, I thought the dubbed version of Das Boot was pretty well...dubbed.
Has anyone seen the 9 or 15 or whatever hour version? It was originally a miniseries.

I have read many reviews trashing Alien Resurrection, and really agree with most all the points against it, but yet for some reason I still find it rather a hoot.
I think mainly b/c I think Alien Sigourney Weaver is teh hot.
So don't wear pantz.
Hmmm...
/mulls it over, though I'm wearing overalls
Bruce Dern, no?
yes.
Yea, had the year wrong. It was 1972. Wiki says:
Silent Running is a 1972 science fiction film directed by Douglas Trumbull and starring Bruce Dern, Cliff Potts, Ron Rifkin and Jesse Vint. It was made with a very limited budget but has since achieved a cult following. The science and technology depicted in Silent Running are not always plausible, but Trumbull's special effects are on par with those he created for 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the melancholy message is considered by some to be very powerful. Unusual for a science fiction film, the soundtrack contains two songs "Silent Running" and "Rejoice in the Sun" written by Peter Schickele and Diane Lampert and performed by Joan Baez.

One of the very few subtitled movies I was riveted by.
My vote for "most riveting movie with subtitles" : the Wages of Fear.
It starts off slowly, but evolves into perhaps the greatest suspense film ever.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046268/
With a movie like Das Boot, it heightens the realism to have the actors speak German, with subtitles. This film more than others needs to sustain that atmosphere. Which it does incredibly well.

He went on to make Terminator and the movie with Val Kilmer about the shootout at the OK corral.
A Birmingham businessman has called for gagging orders to shield the identities of the nine men arrested over an alleged kidnapping plot in the city.
Police have not revealed identities but some names have appeared in newspapers.
Speakers at a public meeting held at Birmingham Central Mosque said they were concerned about the "media frenzy" before anyone was charged or convicted.
Businessman Tariq Mahmood said the reputation of the men and the community could be tainted.
Mr Mahmood, from Alum Rock where some of the arrests were made, said: "There is no evidence, that we know of, but pure speculation, statements from the Home Secretary, houses raided and the media frenzy.

The TV/Movie had a bit of a Chicago connection. The boat used is the same as the U-505, now at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. The set people came to Chicago an were allow to go through the boat getting pictures, measurements and such so they could reproduce the same ship for the story.

Aliens 3 stunk. The worst part was that Aliens (2) obviously left things set up for 3 - the location (that space station orbiting Earth), the story-line (keeping the critter from getting from the station to Earth, a passing-of-the-torch from Ripley to Newt)(just look at the last shot from #2), some established characters to kill off at dramatic moments (Hicks, the robot, Ripley). All there. But no. I damn near cried when I saw #3.

I hope your fame and infulence grows, until you come to Chicago, and I punch you in the nose.
Andrew Sarris' theory on "Patton" is that it was ingeniously conceived to appeal to both hawks and doves during the Vietnam War, with the former saying "That's just the sort of man we need now" and the latter saying "This guy was stark raving bloodthirsty mad."
Speaking of Das Boot, did someone give DAS the boot?
DAS hasn't posted in a while, AFAIK; he used to comment prolifically.
Tangentially:
A diller, a dollar, a ten o'clock scholar!
What makes you come so soon?
You used to come at ten o'clock,
But now you come at noon.
I was never particularly interested in what makes the scholar come, which is IMO a private matter. But I could never understand how coming two hours late translated into "come so soon".
As a child, this sort of concern set me apart from the others.

A group of ambassadors from non-aligned countries has been taken on a tour of a nuclear facility in Iran on what is being billed as a transparency visit.
It is the first such trip since the UN imposed limited sanctions on Iran in December for refusing to suspend its uranium enrichment programme.
The UN's chief nuclear inspector is to report on Iran's compliance with the Security Council's demands this month.
Some countries suspect Iran of secretly trying to develop a nuclear weapon.
Iran insists on its right under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to enrich uranium on its own soil for what it says is a peaceful nuclear programme.

I'm watching Final Destination 2 on sci fi.
Ali Larter is in it, and she was also in the caveman comedy movie that I photographed last year.
She is gorgeous, and nice, in person.

'Ten files of evidence' submitted in cash for honours inquiry
Ten files of evidence from Scotland Yard detectives investigating cash for honours have been submitted to prosecutors in a sign that the affair is now nearing its conclusion.
The Independent on Sunday can reveal that the Crown Prosecution Service has been helping the police devise questions to ask witnesses being questioned on suspicion of perverting the course of justice. The latest "submission" was made on the day of Tony Blair's recent interview by police, which is believed to have been taped by Scotland Yard.
Sources close to the investigation say that aides of Mr Blair are expected to be interviewed again. The police are understood to be examining "contradictory" evidence given by Labour figures in the inquiry.
Both Lord Levy and Ruth Turner have faced further questions to determine whether they tried to mislead or frustrate the investigation. Police are looking at whether their witness statements tally with those of John McTernan, Downing Street's director of political operations.

Anti-kidnap security stepped up for Britain's leading Muslims
Prominent Muslims are to undergo special risk-assessments amid fears they could become targets for Islamic extremists. The dramatic move by officials to step up security around Muslim politicians, police officers and religious leaders follows the revelation of an alleged plot to kidnap and behead a Muslim soldier.
Anti-terror police are still questioning nine men after dawn raids on Wednesday on several addresses near Birmingham. Two other suspects are still being hunted in London and Manchester. It is understood that a terror gang was close to enacting plans to seize their victim, a lance corporal who fought against the Taliban in Afghanistan, and then post footage of his "Kenneth Bigley-style" execution on the internet.

Fuckin' A right it is.
I'll sue MoD over my son's death in Iraq, says mother
Phillip Hewett and two other soldiers died when a roadside bomb hit their vehicle in Basra in 2005. His mother tells the 'IoS' the Land Rover they were using was a 'death trap'
The mother of a soldier killed in Iraq plans to take legal action against the Ministry of Defence over its failure to protect combat troops with the right equipment.
Sue Smith, whose son Phillip Hewett was killed near Basra in July 2005, says military commanders are exposing soldiers to unnecessary danger by continuing to use ageing "Snatch" Land Rovers instead of armoured vehicles. "I want them to accept that Snatch Land Rovers should not be used on patrol. These vehicles are death traps," she said yesterday.
Pte Hewett died alongside 2nd Lt Richard Shearer and Pte Leon Spicer when the vehicle they were travelling in was hit by a roadside bomb near Amarah.
An inquest this week ruled that the three soldiers from the First Staffordshire Regiment were unlawfully killed, but the Army has refused to launch a board of inquiry into the circumstances of their deaths, which it describes as an unavoidable "accident".
Hell boy was great.

Okay. Laundry folded. I'm back.
Silent Running. Loved it. The card playing bots!
WWII movie (that is also Science Fiction?)
Enemy Mine. Based on a WWII story.
One of my favorite Lou Gosset Jr. roles.
Aliens II different than I not sure if better. I think about Terminator and Terminator II. Both good but for different reasons. Terminator I, a love story. Serious. The man travels back in time for the love of a man and of a photo of the man's mother.
Alien had so much atmosphere. Did you know that the sound design of Alien was created so that you couldn't REALLY hear what was going on? They had stuff that was JUST on the edge of hearing, but they were there to give you a sense of the space in the ship.
The Abyss? One of the great scenes of all time the "I'll die and you'll revive me" scenes. Good lord that was intense. Ending. Not so much.
Endings are hard in SF. Especially books. I'm often disappointed.
The ending in Silent Running? Beautiful.
I'm watching Final Destination 2 on sci fi.
No offense to the filmmakers, but a movie with a name like "Final Destination" shouldn't have a sequel.
And Jeff Bridges is a brilliant, versatile actor. I can't think of anything bad he's done.
Well, I don't watch Raiders every week because I don't own it.
That's a wicked stupid thing to say. How could you not own it? Really, that's, like, totally retarded and possibly an indication of True Evil.
So it seems Pitch Black is an innocent pleasure, and here I've been all guilty about it for no reason.

Soldiers in Iraq view troop surge as a lost cause
By Tom Lasseter
McClatchy Newspapers
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Army 1st Lt. Antonio Hardy took a slow look around the east Baghdad neighborhood that he and his men were patrolling. He grimaced at the sound of gunshots in the distance. A machine gunner on top of a Humvee scanned the rooftops for snipers. Some of Hardy's men wondered aloud if they'd get hit by a roadside bomb on the way back to their base.
"To be honest, it's going to be like this for a long time to come, no matter what we do," said Hardy, 25, of Atlanta. "I think some people in America don't want to know about all this violence, about all the killings. The people back home are shielded from it; they get it sugar-coated."
While senior military officials and the Bush administration say the president's decision to send more American troops to pacify Baghdad will succeed, many of the soldiers who're already there say it's a lost cause.

when my sister was in Japan, she developed a crush on Vin Disel.
I see HelllKitty finds Suspiria scaey. When I watched it I thought "In the US we get stupid cheap slasher flicks; in Europe they get stupid cheap slasher flicks with fansy art direction."
But I did get a good laugh from a scene early on where they show laundry on a clothesline blowing in the breeze, and the soundtrack is lush with spooky laundry music

His dad was a part-time minister and he was raised very much in the church. At some point he stepped away and got into some sort of serious trouble that he never told us the details on. After that he went super Christian. He settled down quite a bit over the years, but I feel it cost him in having shared experiences etc.

Oh yeah, I think is a great actor
Watching Planet of the Apes, for the moment.
Has anyone identified the lake they crashed into at the beginning?
I looks fairly distinctive.
Utah?

In the Compleat Works, they do Hamlet four times, each time faster and the last time backwards.
And I have to say I really didn't like Bad Lieutenant.

I met them many years ago at the Ren-Fair in southern California. Good folks.
The folks and everyone else weighing lately are beginning to really scare me. There is a feel of panic in there.

Top Secret!
Maybe I should watch that now. But I'm not sure I'm in the mood for cow sex.
If I recall correctly it was canceled before the answer to the question was revealed.
True dat - it presaged The Bourne Identity, which reminded me, and Telefon somewhat.

The best way to cook shrimp. Coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil, put in red pepper flakes. Toss in your shrimp, salt, pepper, and sear it quickly, toss in a shitload of minced garlic. The chili flake, garlic oil leftovers to be mopped up with bread.
trifecta sez:
Oooh Spork. Just went to the "Night of the Comet" Wiki page. Yes, there is one. It is being released on DVD on March 6!
Hot damn!
An Amazon order coming up!

Are we going to talk about alcohol again?
What I'm really in the mood to watch tonight are some of the Miss Marple episodes from the old PBS "Mystery" Series hosted by Diana Rigg.

Well I just started a glass of wine.
Time for me to cook dinner.

What are you talking about? You have no idea what words or propositions even are! I'll bet you don't even know what a gerund is. I don't, but I'm guessing you don't either. The point is,"Stop picking on me!"
I'm trying to give some cooking tips here!
Troy is slated to be my next in que...Repo Man will have to wait...

I feel like they are racing the clock.
Diane C: Dr Mrs W. had the perspicacity and generosity to get me, for Christmas, the complete 'Rumpole fo the Bailey'. Wonderful, those. An entirely selfless gift on her part, of course...
I like the YouTube cats doing Hamlet.

oops past tense.
he is the most intelligence member of our family
he is very much alive.

A Sharpton type without the good taate for chartreuse formal wear.
my older brother is very much alive, he is the father of my niece Seity.

I am trying to remember if the spacecraft is actually still on the bottom. I seem to recall they lost it. May be wrong though.
Troy McClure, no doubt. I'm a big fan myself.

the cats are impatiently checking their watches as it dries. I need to know how soon it will be done or they are going to report me to the welfare office or at least the SPCA.
Condolences to Bill Clinton. His stepfather passed away.

HAH not quite, he current works for a bank.
he has a brilliant mind but he often choses not to use.
and being the eldest and a son he gets away with everything.
"they are going to report me to the welfare office or at least the SPCA."
Trust me, happens all the time here. No big deal.
Do not put a down comforter in a hot dryer. Feathers will ignite - they are protein, they have a fairly low ignition point, and while there may be no flames, there will be scorching and the inimitable scent of 'burned feathers'. If you must 'dry' it, use the 'air' setting only. Expect it to take quite awhile. Next time, take it to the cleaners. That's what they're there for.

Why does Duncan insist on terrorising us all with the light brite at the top of the page?
The folks and everyone else weighing lately are beginning to really scare me. There is a feel of panic in there.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton drew grumbles at a pro-Israel dinner in Times Square last night when she encouraged "engaging" with Iran before taking stronger action to keep it nuke-free. . . .
Clinton's remarks at the Marriott Marquis were met with little applause, and after she left the stage, several people said they were put off by the presidential candidate. "This is the wrong crowd to do that with," said one person at the dinner, noting the pro-Israel crowd wanted to hear tougher rhetoric.
my original degree choice well my first choice was Persian and Islamic Studies at Manchester University
my mum joked that theGovernment Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) would be after me.
suffice to say I didn't get the grades so I went to my second choice which was Ancient History at Swansea University.

Must have overlooked that. He even went full frontal in Ulysses' Gaze, and I'm still not sure why.

Thank you for the good advice. I didn't know that could happen. so far I am not smelling anything burning and I just checked it and its cool to touch. My best friend owns a dry cleaners...I'll take it to her next time...I just needed to get all the cat fur off so El Esposo could sleep with me tonight.
fresh sheets
I had quite a varied of degree choices, we has to pick 6, of which 5 gave me conditional options.
they were
Russian Studies at Birmingham University
Islamic Studies at Exeter University(did not get an offer)
Comparative American Studies at Liverpool University
Persian and Islamic Studies at Manchester University
Ancient History at Cardiff University
and where I am now Ancient History at Swansea University.
suffice to say I didn't get the grades so I went to my second choice which was Ancient History at Swansea University.
And we're very grateful to have an ancient history expert handy.
Moon, I absolutely need you to proceeed to graduate history work. C'mon - you know you want to. What - you want to go to work at Swansea City Hall?
