Found by French archaeologists/historians in the River Rhone near Arles in the South of France. Caesar waged key military campaigns from there. This may be the most accurate representation of him that exists. He may not be pretty, but he certainly looks tough.

"People started suffering mass hallucinations, manic depression, gangrene, abortions, reduced fertility and painful, convulsive death," Ms Bricknell told the 10th World Congress on Environmental Health in Brisbane today.
(1) All at once?
(2) AND THEN the next day, it got even worse!
(3) It's TRUE though. If a person has a painful, convulsive death, that DOES reduce their fertility!
I hear many stories which follow a similar narrative. But the next sentence is usually, "And then I woke up."

I need you to say you love me. I want your words to touch me again. Look, who knows maybe I will break into a thousand pieces soon. Perhaps morning tempers and letters burn, but I want my body to learn new words, a fistful of words as sweet and sour candy that happens to be in my mouth; words that stem from the heart and soul, making rich feathery sensation on the back of my neck; words that tantalize like the tip of your tongue finding its path to my lips. These are simple adventures that fill, pant, and pour the depth of my body where I let natural forces find fever at every beat, every beat that is as strong as my desires.... The Rest

And here they are:
Jane Coombs, the New Zealand ambassador to South Korea, with her husband jazz vocalist Tim Strong. Tim Also leads a jazz band. They work together very well. For example on April 30 the NZ embassy organized the "New Zealand Wine and Jazz Night," held in a Seoul jazz club. The event presented wine from New Zealand with jazz performed by Strong. Cool, man.

Charlton Heston has died. The MSM will try to ignore this tireless defender of freedom. They will ignore the fact that he marched with
Martin Luther King, he defended Black's rights long before it was fashionable to do so. People forget that the Democrats dominated the South and fought Black emancipation tooth and nail. It was Eisenhower, a Republican, who got the ball rolling. Martin Luther King was a Republican.
People now remember Charlton Heston for his work on gun rights, but that is a narrow misconception promulgated by the MSM and the Left. His views were far bigger than that.
Here is a great speech he gave in 1999, and he was very prophetic indeed. A poignant pose for someone who played prophets so well on screen. One year before 9/11, he warned us that political correctness was political cowardice, that it would degrade the capacity of the US to defend freedom, that it was in itself a capitulation.
When 9/11 came, no one was ready. But the points Charlton Heston drove home in 1999 have become even more important. Since 9/11, many Americans have girded themselves for what lies ahead. But one half of the USA wants to hide under the bed. Canada is worse. The cowards' solution is to learn Arabic. This is a weak situation to be in when decades of struggle lie ahead.
I saw Soylent Green (1973) recently, starring Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson. A science fiction classic, Soylent Green is a dark dystopia. Robinson was very old and deaf. Nevertheless, he played his role with elegant power, and in the movie, he dies. Shortly afterward, he died. Heston, who played Robinson's caring friend and colleague, fought on against the dark forces. Now he too has died.
He has left it to us to carry on.

It's about giving and receiving. What would happen if something gave us our heart's desire? What would happen to our heart? There is wisdom in letting others choose gifts for us.

. . . then your day has come.
"Sala, an artist from Zürich, Switzerland, is selling 1000 paintings of the first 1000 numbers."
A painting of a number if about as basic you can get. May I respectfully suggest that if you must have a painting of a number, you at least consider the do-it-yourself approach. Then you can have the exact number, in the exact color, with the exact design, that you want.
Sure, the idea is to create demand for this particular number painting from this series from this artist.
And it may even work. If you cooperate.
Oh, and if you just can't afford to make or buy a "real" number painting, here's an online number painting that I just created! Feel free to copy and save it as wallpaper for your computer!
Additional numbers are available on request -- for a small fee! (wink)
