I've become very interested in the cold war lately and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good books about it? It doesn't matter if it's fiction or not, I would read either. Spy books are also something that I would like to read. I would be grateful for any suggestions.

What do you think of what I have written? Please give me an honest critique, and your honest opinions, and reasons why..! Thank you!

Let your mind fathom its own imagery and scenic prospect before you click on the link. Take a long-awaited deep breath and delve slowly into the dream...
The sun is high and the air clear. The surface of the river is like a mirror to the surrounding landscape. Peace is imminent, if only for a short while. The day has been stressful and your body is tense. There exists a mound of work yet to be done, but you decide it is best to seek a short reprieve. You stroll along the riverside and step, ever slowly and ever so carefully, into your canoe. You wish not to go for a paddle, but to relax and enjoy the serenity present in your midst. You stretch out your legs and lean back into a comfortable position. The sky is light with few clouds and exists as that timely blue. The way you expect the sky to be on a perfect day in the summertime. You take a deep breath…Inhale…Exhale…Inhale…Exhale… At last, you have a few moments of tranquility in your days.
You close your eyes and grasp every drop of nectar from this flower of peace. Slowly you open your eyes. You notice the evergreen trees, swaying slightly as a cool breeze swifts by. All colors are pure… The green of the grass and trees is a deep, thankful tone. Your house comes into view. It is a quiet little house, white on the outside with brown shingles. This is the place you most long to be. You take another deep breath of soothing, fresh air while reveling in the sunlight and all this moment has to offer.
You nod off for a few moments and later are awakened by the birds' song, feeling refreshed and renewed. Calmly you arise from your restful position and make your way towards your home. Though you spent a mere ten minutes musing over a single moment, it felt like a never-ending eternity of peace. The work still exists and the chaos is still present, but now you have the patience necessary to persevere…

Now, once you have discovered your own wishful refuge, do not remain there for all of eternity. Reality does exist and you cannot escape it and you should not ever attempt to. There are times when we all could use a little relaxation and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but we mustn't remain in our "own little world" for too long. There is indeed a time and place for everything.

Psalm 46:10 reads, "Be still and know that I am God." Take one minute, every day, to just be still and know that He is God.

According to wikipedia: vocalist Marie-Ève Munger performed the complete Diva Dance before a live audience, and her performance was later aired on Québec television as part of a promotion for a televised boxing event. Anyone know where to find this? It's not on you tube or bitorrent, as far as I could tell. Thanks.

I was in Savannah, GA recently and went on a ghost tour. The guide stated that when taking a photograph (flash, nonflash, and daylight) of a "haunted" environment, then glowing spherical glowing orbs often would show up in the photograph. This was not reproducible. The orbs would come and go, different sized and location in each photo - or not at all. The guide said that some times faces would appear in the orbs. Does anyone have any technical explanation about what these orbs may have been?

Can some one tell me a book that grabs your attention and doesn't let go. I love love love the Series of Unfortunate Events books, but I don't like the Harry Potter books. I want a book that I can find in my library and that isn't to long, because I don't have time to read a long book. Help please.

We have to read Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour" and write a paper on it. I was wondering if it would be okay to say that the story can be viewed as the supression of women at the time and how when they get the moments of "freedom", or feelings of, they are just "killed" by men? Or am I completely missing the point?
