My family and i are going to new york for new years. We also wanted to go to the statue of liberty. I know that the statue is on Liberty Island, but isn't Liberty Island in New York City? I would appriciate it if you could answer this question. Also, if possibly, is there any way you guys can send me links for hotels in NYC? thanks so much! Happy New Years!

I'm coming up with alternate history possibilities based on the following described historical events.

In the year 990, Prince Vladimir adopted the Eastern Orthodox form of Christianity to remain independent of external political control, especially of the Germans. This Byzantine baptism led Russia, over time in history, into 13th century Mongol occupations and self-isolation from Europe, which included the Renaissance, the Reformation, overseas exploration/colonization, and the commercial/democratic/industrial revolutions of the 18th-20th centuries. It also led Russia as the only independent center of Orthodoxy even after the fall of Constantinople to the Turks in 1453.

I therefore look for possibilities based on the following questions. What if Prince Vladimir adopted another religion, such as Roman Catholicism, Judaism, or Islam? How would a Catholic, Jewish, or Muslim Russia affect Europe and the rest of the world? Would the Russian Revolution of 1917 be avoided?

I was thinking about this today, and I think the UK could be considered part of Scandinavia. Firstly, Denmark is always considered part of Scandinavia, and yet about 80% of England is on the same latitude as Denmark, and Scotland is entirely on the same latitude as Southern Sweden and Southern Norway. It varies a lot as to whether Iceland is included in Scandinavia, but when it is, geographically the UK wouldn't be too far West in comparison to Iceland. Obviously, the UK has far less cultural connection and similarities than Iceland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway have with eachother; but when Finland is included in Scandinavia, I feel Finnish culture is as far apart, if not more so than the UK. Finland don't even speak a Indo-European language, let alone a Germanic language.

So what's your opinions on the matter, what does everyone think?

At a club or something? I am not tall, I am not thin (but definitely not fat). As for looks, well I am not old (in my twenties) but not the best-looking girl out there. I live in Dublin, but am from the states. Want to pick up an irish, british or so on (I'm not into the new immigrants-I want an English speaker)
guy for fun, preferably young to 30's. Since I'm not exotic, tall, and so on, what chance do I have?

At another McDonald's, I was once again shorted a nugget out of a 20-piece and I once again opened up a can of
whoop-as@.

I jumped over the counter, kicked the clerk in the gut, and gave him a Stone Cold Stunner, I did the same thing to the manager at the front, I did it to the drive-thru person, I did it to the manager in the manager's office in the back, and I did it to the grill cook in the grill area and then I stomped a mudhole in him, I signaled the guy in the far back of the lobby and he tossed me two beers, I opened them up, guzzled both of them down, and then poured some of that beer on the grill cook's face. He tossed me two more and I did that same thing again and then I left all of the them lying in a heap and the grill cook with lots of beer on his face.



Should I have been more understanding and gave them a chance to correct my order, or did I do the right thing again?

We will most likely be leaving from Galveston and it will be a one week cruise in the Caribbean. Is there ever an off season for cruises? We would like to go when it is a bit slower with less people.

We will also be using either Carnival or Royal Caribbean.
