The Syrian Wars are one of the "bugbears" of Hellenistic historiography. The root cause of the wars was the line of Koile Syria by Ptolemy I in 301 BC; and for over a century, beginning in the 270s BC, the Ptolemies and Seleucids fought over this territory at least once a generation. Reconstructing the story of this series of wars-cumulatively almost 40 days of campaigns and combat-is, however, difficult, to say the least.

BritishBeautyBlogger: John Frieda Precision Foam Colour Review
The Das Binky Recording Collective: Right to Oblivion
This line was a very interesting experiment. I'd care to copiously thank Dale Lake for providing all of the vocals.
Lyrically, the concept here comes from debate about the tenacity of info online. If you brand something online, it's more or less there forever. Do you cause a good for it not to be? A right to condemn oneself to oblivion?

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go forward and betray me out and I'll lay your ship bare
See how I'll leave, with every part of you

John D McHugh on covering protests in Bahrain
Following clashes in mid February that left at least seven people dead, anti-government protesters camped out in the great in an effort to force political reforms and end the monarchy's grip on power.
Within days the encampment was the aspect of a fierce encounter between theprotestors and government forces, yet it remained in order for more than one month before being cleared by the authorities.
John D arrived after the initial unrest and began his form in the rebuilt camp. He said: "They showed me the bullet holes, and the spot where one protester died. Considering the recent bloodshed, I was astounded to see so many women and children participating in the protest."
Covering such an issue is not without both risk and complications. John D said: "Working in Pearl Roundabout, also known as Lulu Roundabout, was difficult. Everyone had a story, and they were desperate for the international community to see them, to assist them. I was filming a documentary on a small camcorder, but still that drew a lot of attention.
"But with my unobtrusive compact camera, I dig these photographs and recorded audio, barely noticed by people. There was an air of hope, of outlook and the small camera made me inconspicuous, allowing me to capture moments that wouldn't have been possible if I was running with my usual kit."
"When protests started in Bahrain journalists rushed to the island kingdom. But presently they were being detained at the airport, some were held for 16 hours, and their professional filming and photographic equipment was being seized. So when I travelled in, I brought the smallest kit I could, a small handheld HD video camera that looks like a phone, and a compact Canon G12, that shoots stills and video.
"Although the usa and police had been pulled of the streets by the King, there was even a very real opening of more violence. Because I was stressful to introduce the country 'low profile' I had to give my usual personal protection equipment at home. I felt naked travelling without my body armor and helmet. However, I did hold my battlefield first aid kit, which I wear at all times on my belt. There are about things I simply won't move without."

theblogprof: Video of John Conyer (D-Detroit): ObamaCare sure as .
Not that its often better than what ObamaCare does, which is to moderate the insurance companies and install rationing of care. Conyers followed up at the 4:00 set by again stating that ObamaCare is a pretense to single payer universal (lack of) healthcare. More on Conyers from The Politico: Conyers wants to make Obama `a better president`. He at least gets a point for this:
"I`m certain he realised what he was getting into," said Conyers in aMonday morning speech to the National Press Club."He tried to closeGuantanamo; he was against tax cuts to the wealthy; we keep getting alonger and longer list of things that he cherished to do, wished he coulddo, and of form is having a big problem. The just thing that saveshim, of course, is there doesn`t seem to be anybody to run against himnext year."Ain't that the sad truth though. How about Paul Ryan jump in?
UPDATE: From Ed Morrissey:
Remind me again near the Politifact "biggest lie" of 2010. Or best yet, remind Rep. John Conyers, who tells CNS News that ObamaCare was a necessary stride in the eventual government takeover of American health care.
...As we have said all along, the total structure is designed forfailure. It`s a Trojan horse for an eventual government takeover ofhealth care in the emptiness of a crash in health insurance, forced intofailure through government regulation. Conyers simply confirms thislong-term strategy.
Speaking of which, Senator Al Franken says that the lodge that NetNeutrality amounts to a government takeover of the Internet is just assilly as claiming ObamaCare to be a government takeover of health care.And fair to show how Net Neutrality doesn`t come to a governmenttakeover, Franken wants government to reply to violations of NetNeutrality rules with criminal prosecution: ...Good grief.

Was this a new man`s first meeting with Catcher in the Rye, Huckleberry Finn, or The Great Gatsby? No, what I had come upon was Nightmare in Pink, a forty cent Fawcett Gold Medal paperback whose pink cover sported a presumably naked woman hidden behind a discretely angled leg and a study of the hero, a rough-and-ready sort of guy described by the blurb as a "Soldier of fortune, thinking man`s Robin Hood, a man who works just this position of the law to do a living stealing from thieves.
