Most contain a synthetic designer drug that can induce a mind-rattling hallucination&#8212;but they&#8217;re unlikely to unleash an epidemic of cannibalism.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The contempo adventure from Miami of Rudy Eugene , the man who ate allotment of the face of Ronald Poppo , represents a arresting moment in U.S. news. It merges seamlessly the angrily lurid, the uncomfortably lurid, and the so-completely-lurid-as-to-be-no-longer-faintly-comic in a individual ultramodern, even affected story.It&rsquo;s all here: we accept aegis cameras (what were they accomplishing there?), insanity, tragedy, alarming new constructed drugs, and a video almanac of the absolute affair. How abundant action canwe backpack into a individual sad tale? Plus aggregate about the drugs inquestion&mdash;so-called &ldquo; ablution salts &rdquo;&mdash;is all-American. &ldquo;Bath salts&rdquo; are a home-brew artefact appropriate out of Breaking Bad :a consciousness-expanding crumbfabricated by some absent allure above with ambitious accompany and austere debts.</p>
<p>But amuse agenda that the active &ldquo;bath salts&rdquo; accept annihilation to do with absolute ablution salts, thoseapparent things your parents brought your abominable auntin New Jersey every time they visited.No these ablution salts never were meant to abate the skin, if that was the achievement of the abominable aunt. No, the accepted arrangement of &ldquo;bathsalts&rdquo; is allotment of accession appreciative American tradition&mdash;false advertising. The biologic dealers whomake the being activate a simple loophole&mdash;make a artery biologic with an astronomic accumulation allowance but accord it the nameof a arid domiciliary product, just to accumulate itbelow radar. Andit worked, for afew years; who knew why adolescence were al ofa sudden so absorbed in active tothe accessibility abundance for ablution salts if they weren&rsquo;t spending any time in the tub and who cared? A absolute angle in all ways, relying on the acceptable admixture of absent old humans and base kids&mdash;though it is acceptable that the publicity about the case will advance to a crackdown adjoin their assembly and a wising-up byparents and cops everywhere.</p>
<p>In accession to all the ancillary stories, the abominable account raises a basal question: could all the drugs in the apple accomplisha being wish toeat accession person? This is not assimple as wewould like. Our allure with and abhorrence for cannibalism abilityfar back, further even, than its apathetic cousin,vampirism. It seems animal accept been afraid about bistro anniversary added for the longest time, a age-old admiring and abhorrence no aggregation of van Dyked psychoanalysts could activate to unravel. It goes aback to the Greeks at least, if Zeus&rsquo; baby old dad, Cronus, was so afraid about the apocalypse that his adolescent would abolish him that he did what any afraid ancestor would do&mdash;he ate all hischildren. Fortunately for Western civilization, Zeus (and Rhea, his mother) were a footfall ahead, agriculture him a bedrock in Zeus&rsquo;s place, thereby acceptance Zeus to contrivance ingestion, save his partially digested sibs andbecome baron of the world.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I just say what I know of this game and my opinion.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a best story line game ever made, everything is connected, every character have the same feelings, behavior. The game is sci-fi. About Greece mythology and gods. Kratos is God , his family is dead by his own hand, and he just seed with anger, guilt and vengeance. He is fearless and have all that power because hi is a son of Zeus ( demi-god). He don&#8217;t afraid of anyone, he just want to kill every god and destroy Olympus. The game ends with the death of Kratos, he kills himself with sword. But after that he crawl to the sea and we never see him again. The game consist from: God of war 1, God of war Ghost of Sparta, God of war 2, God of war Chains of Olympus and God of war 3. The graphic is the best in God of war 3 of course. Kratos dies inside him because he remember what hi did.</p>
<p>You got a plenty of weapons: Swords, bows, pikes, and all power you got after you kill a god. You got a lot of secrets places and you can have sex with women&#8217;s then you got a lot of orbs <img src='http://socyberty.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . You can pick up Phoenix feathers and Gorgon eyes. Phoenix feathers- when you collect five of them your Manna is getting bigger. Gorgon eyes -when you collect five your health getting bigger. You can upgrade your weapons, get new combos, powerful attack etc. You got medals of making 1000 hits combo, kill every god, finish a game on easy, normal, hard, titan. Kill 1000 people etc.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In all of this game is the best. And i hope you like it to. Enjoy in killing gods!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The article discusses the reasons why Theseus succeeds in his adventures.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Theseus&rsquo; Success</p>
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Success is something everybody strives to achieve. It is something that is not always easy to accomplish and must be worked towards. An example of success is the &ldquo;Theseus&rdquo; myth in Heroes, Gods and Monsters of the Greek Myths, by Bernard Evslin. For Theseus, success comes from his fighting technique and determination.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Theseus&rsquo; fighting technique is the main reason he is able to succeed in battle. A great white gull Poseidon sends to Theseus teaches him this skill: &ldquo; &lsquo;do not fear your enemy&rsquo;s size, but use it against him. Then his strength will become yours&rsquo; &rdquo;(147). An example of Theseus using this to take down his enemies is his encounter with Scrion. Scrion tries to make people passing by wash his feet, then kicks them off the ledge they are standing on and into the water behind them where he has a flesh-eating turtle waiting to rip the victim to shreds. When Scrion goes to kick Theseus, Theseus pulls his leg forward, sending Scrion into the water instead. Another example of Theseus using his fighting technique against his enemies includes his encounter with Procrustes. Procrustes makes people lie down on a bed that is exactly six feet long in his hotel. If they are too tall, he cuts of their legs, and if they are too short, he chains them to the bed and stretches them. When Theseus&rsquo; does not cooperate, Procrustes tries to push Theseus onto the bed. Theseus grabs Procrustes&rsquo; wrist and pulls downward, chains him to the bed, and cuts off his legs, then his head, killing him. A third example of Theseus using his fighting technique is his battle with the Minotaur. Once the Minotaur charges at him, Theseus jumps onto its head. When the Minotaur goes to punch Theseus, Theseus jumps off and the Minotaur stuns himself with his mighty blow. This helps Theseus eventually defeat the Minotaur. Theseus is not a strong fighter until he develops this fighting technique, a key reason to his success.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; However, Theseus&rsquo; fighting technique is not the only reason to his success. His determination is another major element in his ability to succeed. For example, when he talks with Minos, he clearly displays this fortitude. When Minos offers him to marry his daughter, so Theseus can become his heir, Theseus rejects the offer because he is determined to defeat the Minotaur and return to Athens a hero. Another example of Theseus&rsquo; determination includes when he listens to Poseidon&rsquo;s messenger, the great white gull, who tells Theseus: &ldquo; &lsquo;Do not go by sea. Take the dangerous overland route, and your adventures will begin&rsquo; &rdquo;(148). Theseus could have taken the safe sea route, but because Theseus is determined to succeed, he trusts his father and does not even think twice about it. A third example of his determination is when Minos tests him to see if he actually is the son of Poseidon. Minos throws his crown deep in the sea and tells Theseus to retrieve it. Theseus determinedly dives into the water and trusts that his father will help him breathe underwater. Poseidon answers his call and Theseus recovers the crown. Without Theseus&rsquo; determination, he would not succeed in his goals and battles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Theseus&rsquo; fighting technique and determination are the reasons to his success. He defeats his enemies by using their own strength against them, and his determination gives him the drive to keep on going and succeed. Theseus is a heroic warrior who takes on many tasks and can easily succeed.</p>

Zeus, with his own free will, is able to pick which army he would favor. Zeus can control the natural phenomena in battle. It is evident when he sent a light through the battlefield. Zeus, being the most powerful, can direct the Gods to follow him. It is evident when Zeus directed Apollo to put Sarpedon away from battle, and to cleanse Sarpedon. Apollo did not refuse the order of Zeus.</p>
<p>Upon leading the Trojans to the Achaian ships, Zeus became neglectful to the bloody battle because he left his favored Trojans to fight unceasingl, Zeus was too much thrilled by the battle</p>
<p>Because of the neglect of Zeus, Poseidon Earthshaker took the great advantage to help the helpless Achaians. Poseidon encouraged the Achaians to push back the triumphing Trojans.</p>
<p>Zeus is easily manipulated by the presence of women. Evidently, he has many wives other than Hera, his queen. When Zeus caught sight of Hera, Zeus was effortlessly enticed by her. His heart is easily seduced by his wife. Then, together they went to bed, and Sleep did what is to be done.</p>
<p>He is easily entreated. Zeus was persuaded by Thetis Silverfoot to help his son Achilles, strongest hero of the Greek army in the Trojan War.&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;In order to convince the others that the story is true, playful uncle agreed to explain more. Zeus, he said, had been meeting the Council of the gods and had spoken to them but at this point Plato&rsquo;s account stops. It is almost as if something or someone prevented him from telling more. Why did he never finish the story? We don&rsquo;t know why he never finished the story. He stopped it in midsentence actually and we can assume that he intended to finish it, he didn&rsquo;t die at that moment and in fact there are works of Plato&rsquo;s that can be dated after the completion of dialogue in which a client this is discussed. Nevertheless Plato&rsquo;s short account of the tail was the beginning of the myth that continues to inspire and provoke 24 centuries later. Strangely though, despite Plato&rsquo;s setting of the world&rsquo;s first university called the Academy, the subject of Atlantis seems to have been largely neglected by his students.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A look at the economic landscape today and where it might be headed. A short wake up call for both business and labor and possible solutions.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No hires means no products, no customers, no profits</p>
<p>Here we are back to the same old questions, to tax or not to tax or more precisely, who pays and who doesn&#8217;t. The wealthy class uses to same old argument &#8220;we paid at the office&#8221; meaning we pay our workers enough money to cover both our taxes and workers. We shouldn&#8217;t be double taxed.</p>
<p>Workers on the other hand (I prefer to label them customers) only organized for better wages to buy the goods they wealthy pay them to make. Customers are called upon to pay for the upkeep of the nation&#8217;s infrastructure and purchased a goods sold by their bosses who would rather sit in their luxury boxes watching like Zeus and his buddies. Unfortunately the limitations of both sides are catching up.</p>
<p>The wealthy class won&#8217;t hire customers list all taxes on them are permanently repealed and there made exempt from ever paying them. The problem with this thinking is no hire&#8217;s means no products, no customers, and no profit. This means the wealthy classes are proffered killers.</p>
<p>Sure the wealthy can outsource to China to a certain point but the customers there are not demanding better wages, and as a result some companies are now beginning to move their businesses to India, and word is Africa is next.</p>
<p>One solution being proposed is to dismantle the labor/social net infrastructure of the 20th century to create third will economic conditions that benefit the wealthy class to return jobs to America.</p>
<p>Another solution is to buy time by redistributing resources (the wealthy class only have so much) but these resources will run out eventually, unless the customer class seriously start to innovate solutions with an eye on mass production.</p>
<p>My idea is to merge Harvard business school with MIT and pair of geek with a business student as roommates and classes to create the next Thomas Edison or Howard Hughes or Tony Stark.m</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The ongoing debate about the reason for religion and the need for such belief.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am going to apologize about the last piece I wrote on this topic, not because I feel that I was wrong, but perhaps because I wish to concede that those who have religious faith are entitled to their opinion. I was, however, mortified by a couple of comments suggesting that no evidence existed at all for the Darwin theory of evolution. What planet are these people from?</p>
<p>In this modern age of technology, where humanity now has the ability to date things via their chemical composition and climate comparisons over millions of years, there is no doubt whatever that archaeological and paleological finds can be scientifically proved to be of the stated age, meaning, inevitably, that changes have occurred in the physical forms of many species OVER TIME, exactly what happens in the evolutionary process.</p>
<p>Ah but, I hear those detractors cry, that word has surfaced again, you know, the one that cannot help but expose the truth of history &#8211; science. What is there to fear in knowing the truth of how things came to be, through cosmic chemicals gathering together and interacting until that which would become life came into being, single cell organisms that would, over billions of years, multiply, diversify ans evolve into the untold multitudes of life as we know it on earth, with possibly much more variety in shapes unfamiliar to us around the vastness of the universe.</p>
<p>For me, the argument is very simple, in that evolutionary theory is not riddled with confusion, or steeped in gether &nbsp;supposed mystery. Chemical compounds come together and reactions take place in an endless chain that can branch out in myriad directions, depending upon various factors. Everything on earth is made up of elemental particles, however they might be arranged, and eventually all of this get recycled again and again in the endlessly repeating pattern that is existence in nature.</p>
<p>Religion, on the other hand, seeks to assert that the whole of creation is the work of a megalomaniac scientist of unimaginable scope, so powerful that it can create and destroy worlds at will, and anything but benign. The followers of differing branches of religion, all of which are supposedly rooted in the idea of ONE GOD, have for centuries slaughtered each other in the name of religious faith, yet never actually gained the upper hand.</p>
<p>This god figure was created by humanity tens of thousands of years ago in an attempt to explain away the vagaries of nature, but as time went by, people began to truly imagine that some more potent being than man himself was the one pulling the strings of the natural world. &nbsp;Humanity was ALWAYS seeking to improve itself, to explore further into the unknown, using this faith as an excuse for and explanation of their own dreadful behaviour in the world.</p>
<p>We now live in an age where more is discovered about our real ancestry all the time, and the clearer it becomes that Darwin was right on target with his ideas, the more entrenched become the fundamentalist ideas of the religious, fearful that everything they have held so dear for millennia truly is no more than a house of cards. It seems to me, as terrible as it might be for the faithful to accept, that no god-head which condones man treating other men with such cruel indifference can be called benevolent.</p>
<p>If god is love, the mankind is often the polar opposite, and I believe that far-sighted ancient scribes decided that the only way to rein in the inhumanities committed by mankind was to invent a kind of spiritual leader. With names as varied as Gaia, Zeus, Ra, Buddha etc, these figures have continued to serve as examples to be emulated over millennia, but humanity always comes up short.</p>
<p>It is we that are the figures we pretend to worship, unreal ambitions of perfection of mind and spirit being the normal way of life, and violence being a word alien to our lives. We are our own devils, and our own gods, and our lives are shaped by the paths we tread. &nbsp;There is nothing wrong with wanting to be better than you already are, but creating a god to excuse your own inadequacies is not, and never was the answer.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Just talking about Greek God Ares. Enjoy!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p><strong><u>Family/Lovers/Children</u></strong></p>
<p>In the former Greek Mythology the God Ares was known for being the God of War, he was the son of Zeus and Hera. &nbsp;Ares had an unstable relationship with his lover Aphrodite who he soon enough had an affair with. &nbsp;Ares intentions with Aphrodite were only to give the best to her, but she was married to Hephaistos. &nbsp;Ares admired Aphrodite to no extent and he even went off killing Adonis, which was another lover of Aphrodite. &nbsp;As far as children go with Ares and Aphrodite, they only had five together, but not five in total including any other Gods or Goddesses. &nbsp;Their children were recognized as, Deimos God of Fear, Anteros God of Love Reciprocated, Eros God of Love, Harmonia God of harmony, and lastly Phobos God of Panic. &nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>Birth/Creation/Death</u></strong></p>
<p>Ares birth wasn&rsquo;t an exciting feeling for his father Zeus because he didn&rsquo;t have a part in Ares conception or birth. &nbsp;Hera who was the mother of Ares created him through a magical herb which managed to get herself pregnant, of course with the help of Zeus. &nbsp;The reason why Hera did this was to get back at Zeus for having a child on his own Dionysus. &nbsp;Zeus didn&rsquo;t literally have the baby on his own, but his wife Semele was dying as she was giving birth so Zeus took the baby out who was Dionysus and kept it under his thigh until the baby was ready to come into the world. &nbsp;Moral of the story is that Zeus never had the passion to care for Ares because he felt like he contributed nothing towards Ares birth, so he let Hera worry about what would happen to Ares. &nbsp;Of course Ares never had a date set for death, since he was an immortal God. &nbsp;He will exist eternally without a possibility of dying.</p>
<p><strong><u>Good/Evil + How so?</u></strong></p>
<p>The Greek God Ares was not evil, however he wasn&rsquo;t necessarily considered good either. As far as his intentions go he only fought for causes and partially personal gain, but that was a rare situation. &nbsp;Ares would only be considered evil because the other Gods would not trust him because they were blind towards his intentions. &nbsp;To be evil there has to be an underlying cause, but Ares had a chance to be looked at an evil perspective only because he was being portrayed as it due to not being trusted. &nbsp;Ares knew the distinction between right and wrong and stood by right, but what some people found right was the opposite of what he found right, so conflicts evolved from that and gradually with misconceptions the Gods start pointing fingers. &nbsp;Calling Ares evil or good would only be valid depending on who&rsquo;s perspective you were looking at it from, the other Gods or from a humans view during a war. &nbsp;Ares would pick the side that was right, but of course all the Gods have their own interpretations on right and wrong so to them he could not be trusted since to them, they thought he misinterpreted what actually was good. &nbsp;Conclusively Ares wasn&rsquo;t evil, he was just being looked at in an evil perspective from the Gods due to them not trusting him and his intentions. &nbsp;The Gods also hated him because he killed humans.</p>
<p><strong><u>Friends + Enemies + Why?</u></strong></p>
<p>Ares had enemies amongst the other Gods like Zeus, Helios, Hephaestus, Aphrodites Olympian consort, Otus and Ephialtes the chthonic giants. &nbsp;However Ares wasn&rsquo;t completely without companions he had Deimos and Phobos his children born by Aphrodite. &nbsp;Sister Eris the Goddess of discord or Enyo the Goddess of war, bloodshed and violence; the minor war God Enyalius his son by Enyo, Nike the deathless spirit of victory; Kydoims, the demon of the din of battle; Makhai, Hysminai, Polemus and his daughter Alala the Goddess of the Greek war-cry; Ares sister Hebe who drew his baths for him. &nbsp;These are the main people who despised him, and the main people who actually loved him.</p>
<p><strong><u>Purpose</u></strong></p>
<p>Ares was the Greek God of War. His purpose was to preside over male passion, to provide the weapons and preparation for a war, defense and protection of the cities, to be rebellious and to give civil orders, and lastly have personal courage. &nbsp;Ares had a simple motive and he would always do his job properly and efficiently. &nbsp;Just because he did it efficiently and properly doesn&rsquo;t mean every war he sided on won, it just means he was knowledgeable and knew great tactics. &nbsp;The purpose of Ares was to provide all that, but he never had a set purpose to always help the good side or bad side, he chose by his own will and then he would help whom ever he liked more.</p>
<p><strong><u>Connections/Significance to Greek culture/society</u></strong></p>
<p>Ares had a great significance and important reflection to the Greek culture in terms of an interesting deity in the Greek pantheon. &nbsp;His courage and will is very inspiring and admired by the Greek warriors. &nbsp;To fight with courage and honor is the way Greeks feel everything should be done by, and Ares is exactly like that which is why he plays a significant role to them.</p>
<p><strong><u>Places Associated With?</u></strong></p>
<p>Ares is associated and came from the Greek Mythologies. &nbsp;He is the God of War and he originated from other Greek Gods, so he has been associated with Greeks.</p>
<p><strong><u>Stories/Legends</u></strong></p>
<p>The legend has it that Ares intentions were to always be the most powerful God among the rest of the Gods. &nbsp;Ares sustains his power by creating wars and then supporting one side helping them win, this way slowly but surely he gains more power. &nbsp;Ares went from having affairs, being kidnapped, to having battles and wars. &nbsp;Ares wasn&rsquo;t born naturally the best fighter, at first he lost many battles, those losses gave him more experience and gave him more situational awareness. &nbsp;He became very tactical and used all his powers to his advantage and it was successful. &nbsp;The motivation for Ares came from all the hate people and Zeus had on him. &nbsp;Everyone looked at Ares as some kind of vengeful God who is just trying to be vicious, but Ares was actually instinctual, primitive, and passionate. &nbsp;His motive was not to be recognized as a hero, but because of all the hate he receives. &nbsp;Ares went through a time when he was kidnapped and held imprisoned behind bronze bars by two chthonic giants named Otus and Ephialtes. &nbsp;Luckily Hermes eventually rescued him and the tactics of Ares pursuing combat began.</p>
<p><strong><u>Objects/Items/Rituals Associated</u></strong></p>
<p>Ares was rarely included with the Greek rituals. &nbsp;The rituals were mostly directed towards Enyalios, where youths sacrificed young puppies before engaging battle at the Phoebaeum.&nbsp;</p></p>

		<description><![CDATA[The statue of the King of the Greek gods, Zeus was sculpted to show how much his people honored him. It was placed in a magnificent temple in Peloponnesus, Greece, where the Olympic Games were held every four years.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The statue of the Greek god Zeus was a magnificent creation. Its sculptor, a man named Phidias, was claimed to have been inspired by a verse in Homer&#8217;s <i>Illiad:</i></p>
<p><i>He spoke, the son of Kronos, and nodded his head with the dark brows,</i></p>
<p><i>And the immortality anointed hair of the great god</i></p>
<p><i>Swept from his divine head, and all Olympos was shaken.</i></p>
<p>I got this verse from Wikipedia.</p>
<p><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Zeus_Hermitage_St._Petersburg_20021009.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2011/05/19/zeushermitagestpetersburg20021009_1.jpg" alt="" width="306" height="480" border="0" /></a></p>

</p>
<p>When Phidias completed his work of art, there was seated before them, the god of thunder, Zeus. He sat over 40 feet and occupied most of the temple that was built to house it. It was made out of ivory and gold plated bronze. This would become to be known as one of the greatest wonders of the ancient world.</p>
<p>The reason for its creation goes back to the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games were held in honor of the King of gods, Zeus, every four years. The site of the games was at a shrine to Zeus in a region on the Western coast of Greece, Peloponnesus. The site consisted of the stadium and a sacred grove that contained many temples, including the one to Zeus. Over the years, as the games become more important, they felt that the temple needed to be rebuilt to truly honor the King of their gods. After the Temple of Zeus was completed, they decided that the temple alone was not enough, despite its remarkable design. This is when Phidias was contracted to sculpt the statue of Zeus, which would take him about twelve years to finish.</p>
<p>The statue, unfortunately, is lost to us now. The only way we know of its existence and descriptions is because of those writings that have been found. Once again showing why it is so important to keep your writings alive. &nbsp;The date and means of which the statue was destroyed has always been in much debate, as well as the date the statue was actually created. After finding remains of Phibias&#8217;s workshop in the 1950&#8217;s, we were able to finally determine the dates at which this statue was erected by dating the tools and other items that were found. As for the deconstruction of this magnificent piece of work, some say it was destroyed in a fire. Some say that a Roman Emperor had ordered all such statues be brought to Rome, so that their heads could be removed and his could replace them. There have been writings found that also suggest it was carried away to Constantinople. Unfortunately, we do not know how it happened exactly, just that it is lost to us, along with the stadium and much of the temple that housed this magnificent work.</p>
