ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia -- "Driving in the land of no fences with Father, Uugii and the G4 Challenge recce team. Over the course of the last few months, a small "band of brothers" has been roaming the Mongolian countryside identifying suitable locations. I joined them for a four-day drive in Land Rover LR2 and LR3 sport-utility vehicles through the Gobi desert running from Dalanzadad to Bayankhongor, camping in tents along the way. Our recce was led by South African Devlin Fogg, a former G4 Challenge competitor who now acts as competitions manager. His nine-man team included Uugii, a young Mongolian who speaks English and acted as both translator and "fixer" as well as a Mongolian man who was well into his 50s and known only as "Father," who acted as a guide. These men proved to be inva...

There were also Americans, Russians and others there ... each day we were taken to go out and work, they told us if we didn't work, we wouldn't eat." said [Jones]. "We were mostly putting back together blown buildings, bridges, etc. "I didn't know what they were going to do to us, I thought maybe to kill us," said [Henry Beaudry]. "My friend, another prisoner, a Mongolian fellow, and I looked at each other. Because he did not speak English we made hand gestures secretly to each other to escape." "At first they thought I was Russian," said Beaudry. "But I told them, could I speak English if I was a Russian? And then I was told to wait. I still couldn't hear good ... I don't know after that where my Mongolian friend went. I never saw him again after that."
The population may be largely Asian but they share the Canadian dream of a prosperous and peaceful life for themselves and their children. And with less than a year to go, with the completion of the Olympic Oval where all the speedskating events will be held in February 2010, Richmond and its residents have also become a part of B.C.'s Olympic dream. The Oval is a magnificent structure on the Richmond landscape. Its eco-friendly design uses wormwood, which are trees destroyed by devastating pests, then cut down and recycled into the ceiling of the dome, giving it a unique architectural look. While shopping options abound in Richmond, the Aberdeen Centre again underscores the Asian personality now so much a part of the business mix. While many of the recognized retail brand names exist t...

We invited some high profile artists, such as Tanya Tagaq, the world famous Nunavut throat singer, and Sandra Laronde's Red Sky Productions from Ontario, and Vancouver Island's Ron Hamilton to be featured performers," [Janet Miller] added. On the stage of Whistler's very new Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre, Sandra Laronde, a Teme- Augama-Anishnaabe from Temagami and Toronto, brings her contemporary dance version of a traditional Tlingit story 'Raven Stole the Sun' to its stage. The piece will re-appear as part of the Talking Stick Festival in Vancouver, along with the works of both new and established First Nation, Inuit and Metis artists, dancers, actors and singers. "We share similar histories," said Laronde. "The performance combines the Blackfoot and Mongolian plans and our mutual...
Some of the characters he's encountered are: a customer who'd bring a ruler to the shop because he wanted only short books; G. Legman, the erotica expert who hated fiction; Sheri Martinelli, friend and muse of such poets as Pound, Cummings and Bukowski (she drove up to the shop in "the oldest Winnebago I have ever seen" and nearly an hour later "emerged dressed entirely in black.... She looked as if she had stepped out of a Victorian melodrama"). Often collections made available by an eccentric's estate included more than books. Collector Paul Linebarger left, along with his "absolutely wonderful" library, a huge pile of Mongolian comic books and several drawers full of brassieres. After stating that "the second-hand book business, both as a trade and a subculture, has existed for centu...
The paper mainly analyzes the importance of ethnic dress from the perspective of the application of ethnic costume's form and various features in modern fashion design to fully acknowledge that national costumes are the inexhaustible source of inspiration for designing creation.
