Hi Steve, I've heard Hancock's book but haven't read it, yet. The information you posted is indeed interesting. It reminded me of Zecharia Sitchin's books where he deals with Sumerian texts. He also raises interesting points, especially in The Cosmic Code although you feel like you're reading a science-fiction story for the most part.

In the 1990s, a few egyptologists put forward the claim that the three major pyramids in Giza were -intentionally- constructed in relation to the three stars of the constellation of Orion as they appear in 10,500 BC. Orion Correlation Theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_Correlation_Theory The idea that the Ancient Egyptians built the pyramids and the Great Sphinx to represent the positions of some stars in certain constellations (such as Leo and Orion) is exciting, yet controversial. Orion or Cygnus? Below is a review of Andrew Collins's Book, Was Giza Constructed To Depict The Constellation Of Cygnus? by Greg Little. Collins claims that the Great Sphinx is perfectly aligned with the stars of the constellation Cygnus. http://www.mysterious-america.net/hallofrecordsa.html

I would but I am busy very busy.

and obviously terribly confused as well.

What a wonderful day Welcome back.

I haven't seen any academic review reference, either. And some parts of the World War I section and the related links on the page contain a biased attitude towards certain incidents that took place during the period. Some of the information given there is based on memoirs instead of actual documents.

Possession (2002), based on the novel by A.S. Byatt Plot Introduction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christabel_LaMotte) The novel concerns the relationship between two fictional Victorian poets, Randolph Henry Ash and Christabel LaMotte, as revealed to present day academics Roland Michell and Maud Bailey. Following a trail of clues from various letters and journals, they attempt to uncover the truth about Ash and LaMotte's past before it is discovered by rival colleagues. "With you. And by extension, all creatures who remotely resemble you. Which is, all creatures, for we are all part of some divine organism I do believe, that breathes its own breath and lives a little here, and dies a little there, but is eternal. And you are a manifestation of its secret perfection. You are the life of things." "Oh no. I am a chilly mortal, as Mrs Cammish said yesterday morning, when I put on my shawl. It is you who are the life of things. You stand there and draw them into you. You turn your gaze on the dull and the insipid to make them shine. And ask them to stay, and they will not, so you find their vanquishing of equal interest. I love that in you. Also I fear it. I need quiet and nothingness. I tell myself I should fade and glimmer if long in your hot light." -p.310

From The Bridges Of Madison County http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaMST_hNUVQ Plot Summary The path of Francesca Johnson's future seems destined when an unexpected fork in the road causes her to question everything she had come to expect from life. While her husband and children are away at the Iowa state fair in the Summer of 1965, Robert Kincaid happens upon the Johnson farm and asks Francesca for directions to Rosamunde Bridge. He explains that he is on assignment from National Geographic magazine to photograph the bridges of Madison County. She agrees to show him to the bridges and thus begins the bittersweet and all-too-brief romance of her life. Through the pain of separation from her secret love and the stark isolation she feels as the details of her life consume her, she writes down the story of this four-day love affair in a 3-volume diary. The diary is found by her children among her possessions and alongside Robert Kincaid's possessions after Francesca is dead. The message they take from the diaries is one of hope that they will do what is necessary to find happiness in their lives -- whatever is necessary. After learning that Robert Kincaid's cremated remains were scattered off Rosamunde Bridge and that their mother requested a similar disposition for her own ashes, the children must decide whether to honor their mother's final wishes or bury her alongside their father as the family had planned. Adapted from the novel by Robert Waller, this is the story of love that happens just once in a lifetime -- if you're lucky. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112579/plotsummary Meryl Streep shines and she gives the best performance of her career (IMO), including Sophie's Choice. Whenever I watch this scene I can't help but say "please, open the door".

I hope the English teachers of the Education Forum will read this. I need materials for a Vocational English programme (especially reading texts) for Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate and Upper-Intermediate levels. The subjects are Law, Political Science and Engineering. I've been doing a google search for weeks with no luck. If anyone knows a website where I can find worksheets and related materials, please post the link here or contact me at eksi@ankara.edu.tr Thanks

from Paradise by Toni Morrison In the good clean darkness of the cellar, Consolata woke to the wrenching disappointment of not having died the night before. Each morning, her hopes dashed, she lay on a cot belowground, repelled by her sluglike existence, each hour of which she managed to get through by sipping from black bottles with handsome names. Each night she sank into sleep determined it would be the final one, and hoped that a great hovering foot would descend and crush her like a garden pest. Already in a space tight enough for a coffin, already devoted to the dark, long removed from appetites, craving only for oblivion, she struggled to understand the delay. Consolata p.221
