a href="http://www.planetware.com/picture/verdun-f-verdun1.htm"It wasn't a Merry Christmas/a A few
years ago while visiting friends in Germany, we made a trek to a
href="http://www.pbase.com/rmcbee/02fr" Verdun, France/a. As an American, I had no clue as to what
was there other than it was an old city dating to the a
href="http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Treaty-of-Verdun" (Pre)- Roman/a era. br I was
shocked and humbled to what I saw. The greatest battle (possibly in the history of modern warfare)
was at the verya href="http://www.vahs.org/wwi/introduction.htm" place /a I was walking. br / At
thea href="http://www.webmatters.net/france/ww1_verdun_ossuaire.htm" Douaumont Ossuaire/a, we video
taped our tramping about. Below the bldg, there are windows that peer into...what to call it? A
giant room filled to the top with bones and skulls. I taped for a few minutes and then felt an
overwhelming sense of sadness. I was looking at 130,000+ forgotten warriors. I shut of the camera
and destoyed the tape. This month, please take a moment to remember thea
href="http://www.memorial-de-verdun.fr/index_uk.html" fallen. /aMy respect to those who died. As an
American. a href="http://www.metafilter.com/36900/1111" Previosly./a

Malibu Hybrid/small/em/strongbr //div br /While it won't get him there as quickly (or as
luxuriously) as a Gulfstream corporate jet, GM CEO Rick Wagoner will drive to Washington this week
in a a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/2007/10/26/the-2008-chevy-malibu-hybrid/"Chevrolet Malibu
hybrid/a to ask for taxpayer-funded bridge loans. Last month, Wagoner, Ford CEO Alan Mulally and
Chrysler LLC CEO Robert Nardelli, all received some serious flak from both lawmakers and the public
when they a
href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/19/motown-ceos-fly-private-jets-to-capitol-hill-beg-fest/"arrived
in Washington via three separate private jets/a while begging for $25 billion in federal money. All
are expected to take alternate forms of transportation this time around, with a
href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/02/mulally-chooses-escape-hybrid-for-d-c-road-trip/"Mulally
already announcing plans to drive a Ford Escape Hybrid/a. Simple math says Wagoner's Malibu hybrid
should only burn about 15 gallons of fuel during the 520-mile trek from Detroit to Capitol Hill,
costing the automaker about $30 in gasoline (compare that to the estimated $10,000 cost of the jet
one-way). It should be quite the road-trip. p /p p[Source: a

Britain's gay former top cop and former London mayoral candidate Brian Paddick, who has spent the
last few weeks on the UK reality show I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here,
was kicked out of the jungle camp last night:
"Brian and Star Trek legend George Takei, 71, were voted in the bottom two. George consoled him
and gave him a kiss after the result was announced. Brian said: 'I thought George might have more
support. I thought I’d pick up a few more votes for sleeping in the jungle jail.' Asked why
he went on I’m A Celebrity, Brian said: 'For a long time I’ve done serious stuff
— 30 years in the police. So I thought why not do something trivial? I’m
going to spend time with my wonderful partner but I won’t go into details.'"
The former top cop had no qualms about baring all on the show, either.
Paddick was greeted upon his exit by his longtime partner Petter Belsvick. The two are planning a
civil partnership.
Keith Urban will tour North America next spring in support of his as-yet-untitled new album, due
March 31 from Capitol Nashville. Dates are not confirmed, but the trek is expected to begin in May
and run through the summer.img

The ultimate Star Trekkor can now beam up

settings with appropriate lights and sounds, a flip up sight and an overload setting, also with
fitting effects. The Communicator is full size with sounds and lighting, a hailing function and
20 effects and phrases such as “Spock here, Captain.“ Both run on batteries
(included) and have a price of $39.99.

br/pThe venture of Clearwire and Sprint has already started to show some changes, in terms of
branding, at the very least. It looks like Clearwire will be calling its high-speed wireless WiMAX
service as “Clear” instead of the original “Xohm” that Sprint Nextel had
been using. You have to admit that “Clear” sounds a like more user-friendly, as
“Xohm” does sound a little like something from a Star Trek flick./p pPermalink: a
