Tree Branch Wedding Arch

BERRY, Steve, Prophecy Charlemagne, Le Cherche-Midi, 2010

... which speaks of an ancient civilization, far advanced and has developed in Antarctica before the ice did cover it well known by ancient civilizations. (No! no question of Atlantis, according to the author!) Can not help comparing Berry Dan Brown, Cussler, Ludlum, Katherine Neville and others ... who all enjoy the mysteries of writing coded symbols, and miraculously ended up lost manuscripts, myths, legends and mysteries of history (no capital H).
Plaisant, entertaining, not always credible, but the main characters in the play Indiana Jones ... then fiction, action, suspense, rhythm created by the succession of sequences or short chapters ending most often by one? we are going through the 660 pages.

'ingredients Chilis Tostada Chips'

MOURAD, Kenizé, in the city of gold and silver Robert Laffont 2010

This story is a historical epic that takes us in the mid 19th century (1856) when the East India Company wants to annex the independent kingdom of Awadh, the richest state in northern India. An insurgency is then declared in Lucknow, the capital of a thousand palaces. The exiled king Wajid Ali Shah, will be the Begum Hazrat Mahal, the fourth wife of the sovereign, who will then head to the insurgents. Helped Jal Lal, whom she falls in love, she fiercely oppose the English, who respect nothing, neither the customs nor the refined civilization, nor the peaceful coexistence of Muslims and Hindus to win thanks to their ruthless supremacy army.
The style is simple and fluid writing and this accentuates the historical veracity of the fate of the heroine, Hazrat Mahal, his courage, his will and abnegation that prefigure Gandhi's work, less than a century later (1948).
And shame on all colonial powers whatsoever.

Male/male Rape Stories

BERRY, Steve, The Lost Museum, Le Cherche Midi, 2010

mix between Dan Brown and Indiana Jones, "The Lost Museum" is a novel (thriller?) Who revived the "Amber Room" disappeared from the Catherine Palace near St. Petersburg. There is talk of Hitler, Goering and brazenly looted German museums of Europe to grab the artwork on behalf of Nazi Germany or to satisfy their own pleasure of owning them.
All the ingredients are there: history, art, mystery, wealthy collectors, minions willing to kill to steal works of art, museums private secrets, some sentimental scenes, a touch of eroticism, action ... to reach an entertaining novel ... to read on vacation.

TRANSIT AND CONTRADICTIONS Orleans

I was there on Monday January 17 at 4:00 p.m. on the 4th floor of the Natural History Museum to attend the first consultation workshop on Climate Plan Territorial Energy of the city of Orleans.

http://www.orleans.fr/uploads/tx_adsespacepresse/20110112_MairieOrleansPCET.pdf

I learned something. While the agglomeration Orleans is in first place for its offer of transport, it occupies the penultimate position for use.

He was responding to a question from a person assistance that this plainer by the poor image of public transport and a person SETAO said the network was very Agglo extended up to Marigny-les-Uses which explained low ratio between the number of passengers and miles traveled.

In my view, these two explanations are insufficient to explain alone this paradox.

I see for my part, 4 far more convincing.

1) The town of Orleans has chosen to focus on the car and not public transit.

Of evidence? The creation of new parking spaces instead of the Red Horse, parking Jean Jaures 500 seats, additional seats in the chamber of the hospital de la Madeleine ... The refusal of pedestrianization Rue des Carmes and willingness to Serge Grouard, make an order to destroy the alignment of housing to expand the entrance to the street from the Place de la Croix-Morin to allow to have an additional lane for the car ...

2) buses caught in traffic jams.

When you take a bus, you're never sure of arriving on time according to the intensity of traffic. The situation can only get into worse if one considers that the abolition of the hopper Jean-Jaures will create a traffic calming along the mails from the Joffre Bridge, echoing up the Fleury-Aubrais . This is all a way of bus lanes is not planned in the draft of the city, unlike the one presented by Adaqoo. Recall that according to the study conducted by Tom Tom between September 2008 and September 2010, Orleans is the second city of France's most stub behind Nantes and Toulouse before!
Finally, we may usefully consult the map of road traffic in Greater Orleans Loire Valley, in 2009, established by the Observatory of travel: http://www.agglo-orleans.fr/upload/document//FILE_4c2da88a54410_carte_trafic_2009.pdf/carte_trafic_2009.pdf

3) A tariff offer expensive and unsuitable.

It is clear that the pricing of bus and tram operated by the Community of Agglomeration of the Loire Valley, headed by Charles-Eric Lemaignen is completely reviewed due to its failure to adapt to economic opportunities of the population.

should think about establish free for different audiences depending on their economic, social and ecological. We know that the President publicly Agglo has always been against any form of gratuity. Thus, during the chat # 4 of 18 January 2011, he said: " I remember that transportation is funded by the transport tax, taxes on the wages of public and private institution + 9 employees, 40% from the budget of the local community and 20% only by the client. For as chipboard Orleans, are 15 million / year Recipe ticketing. The AgglO as GART, association which brings together all major local transportation officials, is hostile to free public transport, which has + disadvantages than advantages .

should be lower tariffs that remain too high despite subscription packages offered.

4) insufficient consultation on the choice of routes to bus line.

As the debate has been launched about the future path of bus following the introduction of the tramway, the wider the consultation must be rule. This does not seem appropriate, if one refers to the change of line 3 that if she always starts off Pierre Chevallier, now borrows the Faubourg Saint-Jean Moulin to reach the station from the hospital instead of along platforms as before. Is it clear that this decision was taken unilaterally by the Community of Agglomeration Orléans Val de Loire Adaqoo without consultation, an association defending the interests of westerners Orleans?



Conference Future of Public Transport - 3
sent AgglO_OVL . - The Info Live Video.

The beginning of the presentation of Charles-Eric Lemaignen sounds like a terrible confession when he says he must "reject the ecological war " is - ie, leave the car its place in the city. Naturally, under these conditions, it is unclear how the statement in the PCET Orleans to promote the smooth transport could take its full meaning ...
