...astonished, though I probably shouldn't have been. She'd been complaining for a while that no Disney princesses have curly hair like hers. We even went so far as to seek out a ringletted royal online, where we discovered we aren't the only family that has detected anticurl prejudice. A thread on Yahoo! Answers asks, "How come no Disney Princess has curly hair?"

Very soon he negotiated both the acquisition of the ancient Temple of Dendur from Egypt - over the opposition of Jacqueline Kennedy, who wanted it installed in Washington as a memorial to JFK - and the construction of a giant glass-enclosed addition to the museum to house...

ENI plans to pump about 1.1 million barrels a day from Zubair in partnership with California-based Occidental Petroleum and South Korea's Kogas. ENI was quickly followed by ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell, which agreed to produce about 2.3 million barrels a day in another giant field called West Qurna. Combined with BP-CNPC's anticipated output from Rumaila, "those three fields alone would be about 6% of total oil production in the world" when output targets are reached, says Munton...
