We picked an isolated spot because we like the quiet and privacy. We have our tent out with our camper to add privacy, shade and also finish some unpacking and repacking we need to do for the camper and our next adventure. to a much cheaper European location)! Remember, we were in a bungalow here, so if you are not a tent or camper, this another cheap choice and way to do it. Right now we are camping in our tiny house on wheels / remodeled vintage camper in a spectacular Barcelona beach resort for 20 dollars a day ( although prices will rise more in high season soon, but we will be gone then. Our friends & travel experts Deb & Dave from The Planet D were surprised how luxurious and cheap, camping in Spain and France was even with a tent and car, so gave some great tips because camping in Europe is different than in North America. ![]() Why are Europeans so much smarter than Americans when it comes to budget travel in Europe? Thanks to the Euro/dollar exchange rates, this is a great time for Europe Summer travel and traveling to Europe with friends or family travel now or in the fall. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Nguyen Huu An, the North Vietnamese commander, stood in a circle in the clearing and prayed for the souls of every man who died on both sides,” said Galloway. At the end of the day, Hal Moore and Col. “We went back and walked those old battlefields. ![]() Galloway and Moore wrote a second book, We Are Soldiers Still, which he said grew out of a journey back to the battlefields of Vietnam 25 years later. He was certain we were going to win that fight and he was right,” Galloway recalled. I think every one of us thought we were going to die at that place except Hal Moore. “Those of us who survived Landing Zone X-Ray survived because of his brilliance of command. Galloway, a former war correspondent for United Press International, said Moore was “without question, one of the finest commanders I ever saw in action. The book tells what happened to virtually every trooper involved in the 34-day campaign and the climactic four-day battle in which 234 Americans died at landing zones X-Ray and Albany in November 1965. His efforts were later reflected in the 2002 movie We Were Soldiers, in which Mel Gibson portrayed Moore. Moore was best known for his actions at the 1965 Battle of Ia Drang, where he was a lieutenant colonel in command of the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment. Newton Minow, Public TV Advocate and Former FCC Chief, Dies at 97 ![]() ![]() ![]() Dorothy still needs to follow the Yellow-brick Road to reach the Emerald City, and along the way she meets the brainless Scarecrow, the heartless Tinman, and the cowardly Lion (each of whom have intriguing little stories to share). The Good Witch is there, as are the munchkins (minus the singing and dancing), though the famous ruby-red slippers are replaced by silver shoes. The skeletal structure is there: Dorothy and Toto getting whisked away in their house by a tornado only to land atop the Wicked Witch of the East in the Land of Oz. As it turns out, this story contains about 60% of the film’s plot, which is perfect for me-it shares enough to keep the story familiar yet introduces enough to keep me engaged. I loved the film, and while I knew the book version would differ in content, I wasn’t sure by how much. Would it hold up? Would I even recognize it?Īs often happens when comparing books and films, my experience with one impacted my taste in the other. This was an adventure for me too, since I had never read the book before. My kids have yet to see the movie, but this week during the New Year holiday, we read the book together in anticipation of ever finding the DVD second-hand. My own personal memories involve an old quilt on the floor and popcorn-movie night at home after church on Sundays. ![]() Like just about any other American, I have fond memories of watching the 1939 film, The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland and all the rest from deep in my childhood. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If I have a bad copy, please let me know what the book says on a good copy. Please let me know if there is a way to make grammatical sense of the passage. ![]() I am beginning to think that I might have a bad copy of the text. In sum I would have liked to see das and seinem. But the only feminine noun in the whole sentence is Vergleichung, which makes no sense. I would have expected seiner to refer to the same thing that the relative pronoun did, but that seems impossible because seiner after a dative in would be a reference to a feminine noun. Since Kontinents is the only masculine, der presumably refers to it? However, wouldn't it be more natural to start the relative clause with das as referring to Australien since it is closer and more definite in meaning? Totem and Taboo features a double that manifests itself primarily in. I have marked the number or gender of potential antecedents. While the motif of the double serves a prominent role in Freud’s writings from early on, this essay is an examination of the determinative power of the double in two key texts, texts in which specific, new sets doubles emerge for the first time in Freud’s career. What is the reference of der and seiner as occurring in this passage from Freud's Totem and Taboo* or, if the question cannot be answered to satisfaction, do we perhaps have a corrupted copy of the passage?Īus äußeren wie aus inneren Gründen wähle ich für diese Vergleichung jene Völkerstämme, die von den Ethnographen als die zurückgebliebensten, armseligsten Wilden beschrieben worden sind, die Ureinwohner, der uns auch in seiner Fauna soviel Archaisches, anderswo Untergegangenes, bewahrt hat. ![]() ![]() ![]() Had this book appeared in the 1940s, it might have spared the world much grief. The stock-market correction was merely one symptom of the investment boom that led inevitably to a bust.The Great Depression was not a crisis for capitalism but merely an example of the downturn part of the business cycle, which in turn was generated by government intervention in the economy. ![]() He proceeds to examine the Fed's policies of the 1920s, demonstrating that it was quite inflationary even if the effects did not show up in the price of goods and services. Rothbard's America's Great Depression is a staple of modern economic literature and crucial for understanding a pivotal event in American and world history.Rothbard opens with a theoretical treatment of business cycle theory, showing how an expansive monetary policy generates imbalances between investment and consumption. Applied Austrian economics doesn't get better than this. ![]() ![]() You send a pacifist warrior whose career-defining moment was an act of treason.

Even when he tries to remember her he says he remembers clearly her image seen from behind.Ī friend of mine pointed out on the similarities between the two novels, she drew attention to the fact that Watanabe constantly reads or mentions Gatsby. The protagonist of the novel “Norwegian Wood”, Watanabe, often says about the profile of his beloved, as if he wants to say that he knows only part of her personality. In these two novels, women play a special role, they are a symbol of hope, a myth or an illusion. “So, where are the women?» you might ask. In each novel, the story is narrated on behalf of a man, a participant of events and at the same time an observer. To write a post about the book of Murakami, without mentioning the “Great Gatsby” did not work, because I could not separate the two books they are so much in tune. ![]() |
