	Cult of the One Eyed Cat: How to Survive a Pub Crawl with Real Irishmen
		If you're at least part Irish, you should be okay, but you should bring someone with you just in case, preferably someone who can carry and/or drag your near lifeless body from the seventh pub after you are pressured into downing your twelfth Irish Car Bomb.
		It's a glorious holiday, filled with song, dance, green beer, and even greener vomit.

	IngentaConnect `The proconsul ruling the city called Carcassonne': memory, title...
		The use of ‘proconsul’ sprang from twelfth-century enthusiasm for the Roman past but also connected Trencavel authority to previous rulers of Languedoc while avoiding their own, less glorious past, particularly their dubious acquisition of Carcassonne in 1068.
		Their assumption of ‘proconsul’ is considered in the context of other twelfth-century efforts to construct their history through both memory and written records, and considers Trencavel aspirations to their own comital title.
		In 1146, the Trencavel viscounts of Carcassonne, Béziers, Albi and the Razès began using the title ‘proconsul’ in some of their charters.

		While the rise of cities in Italy is notable in the twelfth century, historians point out that Italian cities are no more noteworthy than those of China, India, West Asia, and Northwest Europe.
		How does this approach to the growth of cities in the twelfth century compare with other sources on the subject you are familiar with?
		Which would you expect to find were the central buildings in the Italian city-states, glorious palaces or civic meeting places?

	Boxing News :: Articles : BoxingScene Staff Predictions - Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales
		Erik Morales beat Manny Pacquiao clearly in their first meeting, but the scorecards still only read 115-113, and had Morales not decided to turn southpaw in the twelfth round, they may have been 116-112 instead.
		Erik is as tough as nails, but even though he’s only 29 years old, he’s had a long, grueling and glorious career….
		Morales' strength is the fact that he is the bigger man with the bigger punch. Pacquiao has the quicker hands but at 130 pounds, his power is not what it was at lower weights.

	The Scotsman - Scotland - Inglorious Twelfth for the grouse moors
		SCOTLANDâS heather moors were eerily silent yesterday as a Glorious Twelfth that was anything but heralded what many shooting estates fear will be the worst grouse season for a decade.
		Chris Exell, the estate factor, said yesterday that disease and atrocious weather in the early summer had completely devastated their stocks, forcing the estate to cancel grouse shooting at Tulchan completely this year.
		Among the hardest hit is the Tulchan Sporting Estate, near Grantown-on-Spey, where major efforts have been made in the past ten years to restore the heather moor to allow regular grouse shooting to resume on the estate this year.

		Born in Southill, Bedfordshire in 1704, the fifth son of George Byng, Viscount Torrington, a prominent figure in both the "Glorious Revolution" of 1688 and the fighting against the Jacobite risings that followed.
		It was agreed that Byng fell under the Twelfth Article for cowardice and negligence of engaging with the enemy, which meant a sentence of death but the court wanted to plea to the Government and the Admiralty for mercy.
		Byng was disgusted to learn that the Government had received and had accepted Galissonniere's report of the battle, before his own had arrived but he handed over his command and prepared to return with dignity.

	All's Well That Ends Well -- Play -- 2003 -- Reviews
		And when she hugs Helena, who returns from what everyone thought was her death at the end, it is hard to repress the sentimental fantasy that here is a great performer passing the baton on to another actress of glorious promise.
		But, by setting the action in the 17th century, Doran also shows the play to be a bridge between Twelfth Night and the late romances.
		He stages the play as if it were more a lusty fairy-tale romp from Paris to war and back again than an Ibsenite problem-play about a bourgeois girl fighting a canny battle in the sex war to win her aristocratic man.

		QOM, Iran: Lamenting the disappearance of revolutionary values and loosening of women's veils, the Iranian clerical stronghold of Qom flocked behind Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the man to bring morality back to Iran.
		Clad in her chador in the separate female queue outside a mausoleum, Maryam Abdolahi, 30, had no doubt who she was voting for as president: "Ahamadinejad will return us to true Islam" and "correct the wayward thoughts of reform."

	Carl Olson on the Left Behind Series and The Da Vinci Code on National Review Online
		Glorious Appearing — the twelfth edition of the Left Behind novels &; and The Da Vinci Code are a strange couple.
		In one corner, the Left Behind juggernaut is steered by two devout fundamentalist Christians, Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, and takes readers on an apocalyptic journey through seven years of future tribulation, based on a literalistic interpretation of the book of Revelation.
		In the Left Behind books (which I have written about before on NRO), an apocalyptic mythology about the future has been created based on interpretations of the Bible, using a unique and recent form of theology called premillennial dispensationalism.

	Cambodia Tales - November 2001 - Banteay Chhmar & Sisophon
		One of the major temple cities built by King Jayarvarman VII in the twelfth century, Banteay Chhmar is famed for its massive size, giant face-towers and remote location and I was hoping to enjoy the romance of a quintessential lost Khmer city as I rose at 6am after my first night in Siem Reap.
		The road deteriorated badly for the remaining thirty minute (fifteen kilometres) trip to Banteay Chhmar, but as we arrived, the sun broke through the grey sky and bathed the outer laterite wall across the wide, water-filled moat in glorious sunshine.
		As it turned out, Heang, 25 years old and one of six children, was an excellent choice as we got on well from the first minute, his English was passable and the moto that his uncle had bought him, was in good condition.

	A Dictionary of the RSC by Simon Trowbridge
		Years earlier he had planned the construction of a new theatre within the shell of the original Memorial Theatre, and the Swan was the glorious result of his vision and perseverance.
		Second, his first full season (1969) felt like a departure: a new stage configuration was designed by Christopher Morley (a white box that placed emphasis on space, colour and light) and the choice of plays— Pericles, The Winter's Tale, Women Beware Women, Twelfth Night and Henry VIII —was the most challenging in years.
		Lloyd Webber's Cats (1981) started a new phase of his career, and although he remained in joint charge of the RSC until 1986 he was for part of that time away.
