Each state is represented by a foreign country with the same GDP. Not sure how accurate those are, interessting nevertheless... http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/phot...ntriesmap_2.jpg ...for example Austria (my home country) has therefore roughly the same GDP then Virginia and New Hampshire shares one with Bangladesh... cheers viggen

Gaius Valerius Catullus lived in interesting times. Born around 84 BCE and deceased sometime after 55 BCE (both dates as best as scholars can determine), those three decades witnessed the upheaval of the Republic in a political sense. For Catullus' childhood saw the dictatorship of Sulla and its proscriptions, and his death occurred at the height of the first Triumvirate... ...read the full article of Catullus and the Neoteroi

During my current adventure to become filthy rich, i read lots of books on how to become just that. Those are financial books, self help books, books to get things done, books on making your life filled with purpose, and almost in all of them is at least one quote of Marcus Aurelius... ...for example; Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish. Begin - to begin is half the work, let half still remain; again begin this, and thou wilt have finished. Do every act of your life as if it were your last. Each day provides its own gifts. Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe. It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live. Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight. The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away. Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one. You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. ...and i could go on for a long time... For me, the most important piece of wisdom from Marcus Aurelius is however; Our life is what our thoughts make it.

Love be not proud. Let love be cynical, irreverent and bawdy! Ovid is the perfect cure for maudlin saps pining for unrequited romances. The good man from Sulmo is perhaps the most infamous Roman poet, and deservedly so. Not content with being a creature of the Augustan propaganda machine and its prudish morality, Ovid literally turned fornication into a high art. Adultery, seduction, objectification of women - Ovid pulled no punches in his early career. Obsessed with achieving immortality through the written word, Ovid attained his goal - but at a cost. Like an overly proud angel, the poet was cast down from heaven to his own hell. Penguin's The Erotic Poems gives us a glimpse of this forbidden but delicious fruit... ...read the full review of the Erotic Poems by Ovid

http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/09/24/army/ Why is a U.S. Army brigade being assigned to the "Homeland"? Bush taking over via Martial Law, cancelling the Election and making himself a Caesar... in anycase, disturbing news indeed....

You`ll be missed...

All that the polls indicate is that she's popular with white women. It doesn't mean that she's a good choice to run the country in the event that McCain gets elected and can't finish his term of office. I'm a woman and I'll be damned if I jump on any candidate's bandwagon simply because he's chosen a woman for his running mate. -- Nephele Wen i read this i knew, she sucks, and Matt Damon said it best, refering her nomination to as a "bad Disney movie... 'I'm just a hockey mom from Alaska here to take on the White House'. It's absurd... The best of those four is most defenitely (imo) Joe Biden, ...

"Every telling of history is a product of its age" The opening words by the author of An Imperial Possession - Britain in the Roman Empire underline what is perhaps the entire purpose of this book. David Mattingly makes it clear from the outset that the story of the Roman occupation has been studied and written before, many times. The setting has been described, the characters outlined, and the plot established. Like an old favourite story by the fireside, the Roman occupation of Britain has become something familiar and comfortable. But is it correct? ...read the full review about An Imperial Possesion - Britain in the Roman Empire by David Mattingly

What happend on 10th sep. was just a pre run, the real ""danger"" is when they actually smash those protons against each other, (at the moment they just run in circles, thats how i at least understand it), in anycase, the most intriguing info we might get ist the 100 dollar bet Stephen Hawkings took out with Higgs, about the Higgs particle, those should (if he is right) if found explain how matter have mass, or in such way, if Higgs is right he will get a Nobel price, Hawkings said there aren`t any Higgs particles and we have to start from scratch... Hawkings Bet... ...it will be in any case the one machine, people will talk about in hundreds of years, the biggest man made machine ever to be built, that discovered endless information about physics and will most likely produce a stream of new technology... cheers viggen
