Exiting Tally Internal Error How To Rectify

"Mary, Bloody Mary" - review

Mary, Bloody Mary Carolyn Meyer ~


The first sentence:
Anne was a witch that I had from the beginning to know ...

blurb:
a thrilling and well-researched historical novel about the magical childhood and youth the bitter Mary Tudor. Cinderella and queen? Princess Mary, the eldest daughter of King Henry VIII, is horrified when her father can declare his marriage invalid wants to marry the beautiful Anne Boleyn. Thus lose their right to the throne Maria. Mary gives up hope that her father might withdraw its decision. But the poison of the new queen begins to act ...

opinion:
A very well researched novel. The story is from the first-person perspective of Mary (Maria) Tudor, the only daughter of King Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon says.
Mary Tudor was received as "Bloody Mary" in the story. But in this book you get to know not bloodthirsty and ruthless queen but a proud, friendly, courageous and strong-willed girl from the later, because of their bitter experiences, was a feared ruler.
The first-person perspective, you can put yourself into and very well in Mary suffers with her when she finally loses everything what was important to her and her sister is the servant.

The writing style of the book is smooth and not pompously. It can thus be read very well.
the beginning of the book we find a family tree of the Tudors. Here all the Wives of Henry VIII and his children are discussed.

now briefly to the German edition of the book. I regret very that I've not the English purchased. The cover (shown above) is a thousand times more beautiful and also the title more appropriate. I am also disturbed the Germanization of the name. Although I know that this is in most books like that, but I prefer the English originals: Mary - Mary, Henry - Henry, etc.
My next book the author will read my application be in English.


Conclusion:
A good historical novel about the childhood and youth of Mary Tudor. You learn a new Mary know that has little in common with the bloody Bloody Mary.

My Dog's Butt Is Pinkand Inflamed

"Selection" - review

Today is the 28th January and finally released "The selection of" official in German and I can finally publish my review. :-)

Selection ~ Ally Condie

The first sentence:
Now that I've figured out how I can fly, what direction should I take out there in the night?


blurb:
The system says, whom you shall love - but what does your heart say?
Imagine before, you live in a world that provides a completely secure life. But for that you have to bend up to the laws of the system, love the people, which is meant for you. What would you do? risk for the true love of your life? For the 17-year-old Cassia today the most important day of her life: She learns who they will marry at 21. But the results surprised everyone: Xander, Cassias best friend, has been selected as their partner from the system. When, however, apparently due to a technical defect, the image of another boy at the ceremony presented Microchip turns up, Cassia is suspicious. The system can really decide who they should love?

Opinion:
The history of cassia and Ky begins quietly, quietly and peacefully. It shows a future world to be perfect for their inhabitants seem. People seem to have no problems or concerns. For all they do is controlled by the government and the so-called system and determined. Be it food, clothes, fitness program, the selection of future career or the perfect partner for life.
People have learned that it is better that would otherwise be their ideal world again into chaos. As it has happened before.
Cassia has never questioned this way of life. She is happy and satisfied with their lives and can not wait their future life partner of systems assigned to get. This is the man best suits her. When the system finally her best friend Xander chooses for them, Cassia is confused at first but begins to make friends with the idea. She gets a microchip on the data stored on Xander. But when they want to see this on the next day, it's not that Xander's face appears rather that of another boy also knows the Cassia, Ky., a boy from the neighborhood ...
From that day to begin Cassias life to change. It begins growing in the government and the system to doubt. Ky is also so different than all the people she knew before, something particularly distinguishes him and he hides a secret which he revealed Cassia slowly. When coming closer, however, Cassia and Ky, the fate takes its course ...

As already mentioned, the story begins very quiet but what is regarded negatively in any way. Cassia is not a rebellious character, such as Katniss from "The Tribute of Panem. She takes her life back the way it is given to it. Only when she meets Ky change their views and they recognize that their world and life at large is not as perfect as the government entrichtert humans. So she begins to question everything and gets along with Ky more and more into the focus of the government ...

The characters and the fictitious future world are worked out very well. Ky and Cassia were sympathetic to me are from the beginning and me in the course of the book has grown increasingly fond of. But Xander is a very sympathetic character. The author makes a lot of time to their world, their structure and to describe the characters. The history could not be stopped but allows for a totally immersed in this world.
The end of the book was equally shocking and surprising and leaves the reader with anger, grief and hope (Cassia feelings hitherto alien) were returned.
I'm really looking forward to Volume 2!

Conclusion:
A wonderful prelude to a new Trilogy! I can recommend this book to anyone especially those readers have fallen, "The Tribute of Panem. Although the two is at first glance have little in common, however, a certain connection in the plot of the books.

Can Dogs Take Klonopin

Special golf destinations

weekend I had the first 9-holes on my home course. And this in glorious sunshine. Was a nice start to the Gulf in 2011. For this, the great victory of Mr. Kaymer in Abu Dhabi. What more could you want?

Today I had a little leisure, and then sought my golf goals, where you can really say afterwards: "This was now an exceptional round." And I was not thinking of the often over-priced round on famous people. More of the really unusual. For me the following places came to mind:
  • Tromso . In Northern Norway. The northernmost golf course in the world
  • Ushuaia . On the Beagle Channel in Argentina. The southernmost golf course in the world
  • La Paz . In Bolivia's capital. The highest altitude golf course in the world
  • Furnace Creek . In Death Valley. The most deeply situated golf course in the world
All are after my research is not too expensive. The green fee is usually under 30 €. Problem is more than the arrival. Charter flights I have not found it yet. But just 1 or 2 of that I would already like to play once in my life. Let's see ...

PS: I also look for the westernmost and easternmost of the world. Somehow I could not find it ... ;-)

Watch Digital Playground's Pirates

House of Night: Marked -

House of Night: Marked ~ PCCast, Kristin Cast

The first sentence:
Just when I thought worse, can not this day, I saw the dead guy next to my locker with ...

blurb:
as on the end of the 16 year-old Zoey Redbird aufscheint a sapphire blue crescent moon, she knows that you do not have much time to the House of Night, a boarding school for vampires to come. For now, she is drawn. In the House of Night, they should be trained to be a real vampire, provided that they survive the change. Zoey is not absolutely thrilled to have to start a new life, without her friends, the only good thing is that her stepfather unbearable nerve can no longer there.
But Zoey is no ordinary Vampyr she is a chosen one of Vampyrgöttin Nyx. And it is not the only one in the House of Night with special powers ...

opinion:
I have long wondered whether I start the series, the vampires I was really fed up. After lengthy back and forth, I bought Volume 1, but after all and I have not looked back!
For here not expecting a worn-vampire romance, a la innocent human girl / woman meets handsome vampire and falls in love. In "Drawn" revealed to the reader a completely new world in which the people of the existence of vampires (the authors have chosen this particular spelling) know, but still this fear and they are suspicious about.
protagonist is the 16 year old Zoey. Zoey is chosen suddenly one day, and thus drawn. As a result, which appears on its face, the outline of a crescent, and as quickly as possible in the House of Night must. For now it will make the change by a vampire. Assuming her body is strong enough, and Zoey is the conversion (which extends over several years) to survive. Zoey's only desire is actually quickly settle into their new home. But the goddess of the Vampyre, Nyx, a major task for Zoey already has ...

me the book has surprised positively. The History could hold me and carried away. Zoey was very sympathetic to me from the start and since it is all as new as the reader, we discovered by Zoyes eyes a completely new and unknown world.
Even the supporting characters are well worked out. All have their strengths and weaknesses, and loving, like Zoey you win it, or begins to hate (in this case, Zoey "enemy" Aphrodite).
The only thing that could pose a problem for some is the Sprachniveu of the book. The characters are still young and talk accordingly often in young people's language and use every now and then sometimes not so subtle words. I must say that I is not really very has disturbed. You get used to it pretty quickly and my reading pleasure has done no harm.

Conclusion:
Since this is Volume 1 of a series, the author takes time to the reader the world of vampires to get closer. The events of the book include a few days, but a good and promising start for the series. I'm curious how it goes!

What Goes With Brown And Orange

Anatolia Story - review

is finally here is my first Manga review :-)
And although I would like one of my absolute Lieblingsmagareihen imagine:

Anatolia Story ~ Chie Shinohara

Content:
Caught in the ancient world ...
The 15 year old Yuri finds himself suddenly out of 20 Century in the capital of the Kingdom of the Hittites, today's Anatolia added. There will sacrifice the queen Yuri to curse with their blood, the four princes and older to use their son as heir. But Prince Kail, it is possible to rescue Yuri and bring in his palace. But even there it is not safe from Queen Nakia. Narrowly escapes an attack by Yuri the bewitched servant Tito. A return to Yuri's own time may only allow a powerful priest and Kail. But this requires many conditions to be like when they arrive. And Yuri is still yet taken prisoner ... An exciting journey into the ancient world of the Hittites, full of adventure, magic and romance.

The series:
"Anatolia Story" was released in Japan under the name "Sora wa akai kawa no hotori" (roughly: "The sky is () over the red river") and in English as "Red River" .
total there are 28 volumes. Volume 28 with some very nice extra stories contain.

opinion:
I love this series! Although it is now some years since I started a band but it is able to captivate me to this day.
time I had a phase where I'm totally happy to read time travel stories and adapted as "Anatolia Story" naturally perfect. Also, I've always been interested in the ancient world. The people of the Hittites I knew by then still not from the manga is my interest in this once great and powerful people meet. So I know about them and was amazed how much truth and correct historical facts, are in the manga. I was up on superficialities actually no historical accuracy expected and so I was very surprised to learn that there are people like Kail (Mursili III), his father, his brothers and even the Queen Nakia (a Babylonian princess who was not very nice also ;-)) really existed. There are many other persons from the have really lived, such as Ramses I, rulers of other nations.
vote but not the names of persons, whether they concern events that are incorrect. Here, the mangaka
has been really incredible effort and historical fact with fiction perfectly, in the form of the heroine Yuri, mixed.

True, the drawing style of manga is starting to get used to. However, this is one very soon no longer be on the drawings and from band to band better and better!

The love comes naturally, as it should be any different?, Not too short. Yuri and Kail are a great couple! You seen how both change over the course of the story and develop. Thus, from the very confused and helpless Yuri, a strong, confident and intelligent woman. And Kail, who had nothing in his head as flirtations, it means to be one of the greatest kings of ancient history and recognizes what true love.

extends the story of the manga over several years, and historical events which will take place at this time are woven into the story well. Also plays History not only in the kingdom of the Hittites, Yuri namely there it among others, to Egypt or to the kingdom of Mitanni.

Conclusion:
"Anatolia Story" is always one of my absolute favorite manga. Besides the fun of reading, you learn something about that is also still the same old story :-)

assessment.
5 / 5 Dream Dust
prizes for the entire series!



That was the way, even here at amazon about the manga:
There is Yuri, the space and time and overcame in the old country came to the Hittites. During imposed on the fate of so many hard trial, she gave the love to the king and took the rocky road of a queen. The powerful Roman history on the ground found in Volume 28 of Anatolia a majestic conclusion! To round off a magnificent collection, we find as an additional stories or episodes that have not been told in the main story or act in time to Kail and Yuri.
I am very pleased to hear that the manga is referred to as a "huge historical novel! This has the story in any case deserve!

Tess of the D'Urbervilles - DVD review

follows Here is my first small-DVD review. ^ ^

Tess of the D'Urbervilles

Content:
all starts with the beautiful and innocent Tess Durbeyfield (Gemma Arterton, James Bond 007 - Quantum of Solace , Rock N Rolla ) dances like she in her white dress at the May Day celebration of her small home village . But soon it is with this idyllic past. Her parents, who are very poor, decide that the young Tess to the supposedly wealthy relatives, the D'Urbervilles is sent. There they will work as a simple maid and earn money for the family. Actually, this place should be a mainstay of men of honor and morality, but very quickly the poor Tess of the angry reality caught up. The son of the family, Alec D'Urbervilles (Hans Matheson; Les Miserables , The Mists of Avalon ) has his eye on it and gets by force what he owns in his opinion. He abused and raped, Tess, leaving then fled the estate. But that's not all long suffering: Back home, she gives birth out of this rape also has a young son, but is sick of the world and soon dies. She then leaves her village again and finds a job as a milkmaid. Here again, she meets the mysterious stranger, who was also present at the very beginning of the May Day celebration of their village - Angel Clare (Eddie Redmayne; The Good Shepherd , Elizabeth - The Golden Age ). Immediately falls for Tess in Angel, but for fear of losing him, she conceals her past him. When he confesses, however, on the wedding night a previous affair, Tess thinks that she can now confess, the story of Alex and her Angel determined awards. But far from it, the consequence of Tess honesty becomes a tragedy.

opinion:
This four-part mini-series has drawn me from the first minute to the last under her spell! Tess was incredibly sympathetic to me a character with whom you could suffer and sympathize. Her story is romantic, sad, despairing, hopeful and tragic.
Tess is an inexperienced, naive and bona fide girl. So she does not suspect the intentions of the rich Alec pursues and eventually raped by him. Back home she gives birth to an illegitimate son who dies but soon. Because of the contempt of the Church to an impure woman and a bastard, this may beg and plead for Tess and not be buried in holy ground. Tess escapes from her home and looking for work in a place where nobody knows their past. It will eventually milkmaid and meets Angel the Pfarresssohn again, she has already met briefly at a Maitanz few years ago. It is as it must, both fall madly into each other. But Tess is because of their unsettled past. Angel Can she still love when he learns the truth? Her mother does not recommend this step. But Tess tormenting doubts, they can never be completely happy until her conscience is clear and the truth Angel said. When she confesses her past, the tragedy its course ... could

Tess history shows how unfair the Victorian society to be a woman. For Tess not even blame their misfortune. Nevertheless, it arrives at all, even by their own parents convicted, and some even insulted as a whore.
Angel has basically the same "mistake" committed as Tess. He also slept with a woman before marriage. However, it does not convicted for it and forgive it as he confesses to Tess that it at once. But he shows no sympathy towards Tess and plunges them both so deep in despair.

Tess character evolved from the young, naive girl in history to that of a strong, courageous and squabbling with their fate woman. She often wonders why she deserves such a disaster. All they seem to love is taken from it. But it is up to the end never had the courage and fight on ...

Before I too much of tell the story, I would like to take this opportunity to commend the wonderful landscapes in the film. The story is set in southern England and the landscapes are absolutely beautiful! The sets and costumes of the film are fantastic.

Conclusion:
A wonderful, romantic and sad movie. No later than four in a row, one should keep a handkerchief ready, because who has yet to shed any tears there, it will at least do now.
