24 August 410: the date it all went wrong for Rome?

BBC: Tuesday marks the 1,600th anniversary of one of the turning points of European history – the first sack of Imperial Rome by an army of Visigoths, northern European barbarian tribesmen, led by a general called Alaric. It was the first time in 800 years that Rome had been successfully invaded. The event had reverberations around the Mediterranean. Jerome, an early Christian Church Father, in a letter to a friend from Bethlehem – where he happened to be living – wrote that he burst into tears upon hearing the news. “My voice sticks in my throat, and, as I dictate, sobs choke me. The city which had taken the whole world was itself taken,” he said. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11066461 added by: ezrierin

Svetlana Lazareva in her Cheap Monday Jeans of the Day

Since I am officially a fashion site now. I figure part of my responsibility to you is to introduce you to lesser known models who happen to have a name that everyone I know uses when mocking hot immigrant pussy…especially when they are pulling some pretty pornographic shots that aren’t pornographic cuz they are shot to indirectly promote some jeans company called Cheap Monday…cuz fashion is pornographic, it just the more socially acceptable variety that doesn’t involve penetration, but still features women getting paid to do virtually nothing half naked, just cuz people like the look of them and the fact that they are willing to get down to a variety of nakedness. Either way, remember this is a Fashion site….I don’t want you guys to get the wrong idea and ruin my chances at Privat Islands and Rolls Royces and Villas in the Mediterranean and whatever else it is that fashion people do.

Incredible Images of Pilot Whales in the Strait of Gibraltar

Marine biologist Rory Moore and his team, including photographer Danny Kessler, came across pilot whales in the Strait of Gibraltar in the Mediterranean and managed to take some extraordinary photographs of the curious animals. Pilot whales rarely come into contact with humans thanks to strict diving regulations, so the images are an extra special treat. While they appear to be playful, graceful and comedic, the toothed pilot whales can also become aggressive and deadly, which makes the photos all the more intriguing….

87 Senators Sign Letter Urging Obama’s Support of Israel, Media Mostly Mum

On Monday, 87 Senators signed a letter to President Obama affirming their support for Israel while urging his. This comes in response to last month’s highly-publicized flotilla incident in the Mediterranean Sea and the United Nations predictable anti-Israel reaction. A similar letter has been circulated in the House that has apparently garnered 307 signatures. Despite the overwhelming bipartisan outcry — something rather rare in Washington these days to be sure — very few American media outlets bothered to report the news. Fortunately, the Hill published the following Wednesday (h/t Weasel Zippers ): Led by Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) – and signed by 85 other members of the upper chamber – the letter argues that Israel’s blockade of Gaza was both legal and necessary, and that Israeli commandos were acting in self-defense when they landed on the ship. “[V]ideo footage shows that the Israeli commandos who arrived on the sixth ship, which was owned by the Turkish Humanitarian Relief Foundation (the IHH), were brutally attacked with iron rods, knives, and broken glass,” the senators wrote. “They were forced to respond to that attack and we regret the loss of life that resulted,” the letter adds. The bipartisan group of lawmakers urged Obama to oppose a resolution in the United Nations critical of Israel. According to JTA.org, a similar letter has been signed by 307 Representatives in the House. Yet, besides the Hill, LexisNexis and Google News searches produced only Agence France-Presse and UPI reporting this news in the States. No newspapers, no television outlets, and no Associated Press. Why might that be? For those interested, full text with signatories of the Senate letter is available here . Readers are advised that too many of the signatures were illegible making it impossible to know who the thirteen Senators that didn’t sign the letter are. Stay tuned.

US backs ban on bluefin tuna trade

The US government announced yesterday that it supports prohibiting international trade of Atlantic bluefin tuna, a move that could lead to the most sweeping trade restrictions ever imposed on the highly prized fish. Sushi aficionados in Japan and elsewhere have consumed bluefin for decades, causing the fish’s population to plummet. In less than two weeks, representatives from 175 countries will convene in Doha, Qatar, to determine whether to restrict the trade of bluefin tuna – valued for its rich, buttery taste – and an array of other imperiled species under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. Japan, the world’s largest bluefin consumer, opposes the idea of trade restrictions, while the European Union has yet to take a formal position. Over the past 40 years, the adult population of eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean bluefin tuna has declined 72 percent. In the western Atlantic, the population has dropped 82 percent. The declines occurred even though bluefin fishing was being governed by an international panel that sets catch quotas and is supposed to curtail illegal fishing. added by: jefftego

Cheryl Tweedy’s Sexy Angry Boobs

I love these pictures of Cheryl Tweedy looking pissed off getting out of her SUV the other day. That’s partly due to the fact that I happen to have a thing for bitchy looking women, just ask any of my ex girlfriends, but mostly because her boobs look absolutely spectacular. Seriously, look at those perky beauties, they’re amazing. They make me think of beautiful sunrises over the Mediterranean sea…. If those sunrises had boobs. Enjoy. more pictures of Cheryl Tweedy here
