5. The state of Kaupthing, HSBC, Lloyds, Abbey and Barclays October 20, 2008 The Icelandic government decided to nationalise the Kaupthing's parent bank which went into technical default. "It did not matter that the parent company had sufficient liquidity and its position was solid," commented someone from Kaupthing before the entire board resigned. On this, Fitch Ratings added "In light of recent events, the ability and propensity of the Icelandic authorities to support the banking system remain increasingly compromised". Despite Iceland’s banking assets account about nine times the island GDP; this would not be enough to cover their debts, considering the imminent ba... (read more) Author: tug search

6. Bjork Concert Tickets : Get One And Put The World's Troubles On Hold October 14, 2008 Bjork Concert Tickets : Heaven Sent For Us Mere Mortals The President of Iceland got it right in 1997 - he conferred on Bjork the title of Lady, for services to her country. Lady Bjork started as a new age punk princess and her incredible voice got her an album deal at the age of 11. She then sang in various anarchic punk bands in Iceland until she hit the bigtime with The Sugarcubes. Her addictive new age dance music ("Big Time Sensuality" and "Human Behaviour") propelled her to goddesshood and made her not just Bjork Gudmundsdottir (the name she was born with) but simply "Bj...

8. Trading Forex - Icelandic Krona troubles. October 13, 2008 It is hard to believe, that events in a small country with a population of just 320,000 people could have world wide effect. Flooded with a deluge of information during first 10 days of October, most traders probably didn't even register what was happening in Iceland. Yet it might have been there, according to some market watchers, where the current financial turmoil began.

10. My Love/Hate Relationship with Iceland September 16, 2008 I was originally going to title this article, “Why I like Iceland” But the truth is that title doesn’t express my true feelings about this country. The truth is far more complex. There’s a great line in one of my favorite movies, “Lawrence of Arabia,” where Lawrence is speaking to Auda, the leader of the Howeitat, who is very effectively convincing him to join him in his battle against the Turks – something he didn’t know he wanted to do but ends up agreeing to anyways. In the end, Auda, realizing that his mind has been changed for him, says to Lawrence, “You trouble me like women.” T... (read more) Author: David Brooks

11. Bobbi Jo's Review of the First-ever World Class Driving Festival September 10, 2008 This weekend my husband and I went to West Baden Springs Hotel for the first World Class Driving Festival in Indiana. As for the West Baden Springs Hotel, the first class accommodations were simply wonderful. This property was recently restored in a $450 million project. The character and charm of the 1902’s shines through as a result of their brilliant renovation. The 200–foot-diameter Grand Atrium in and of itself is an amazing work of art, so having so many exotic cars displayed in such a glorious setting really was a brilliant idea and a vision of delight for car enthusiasts. Kudos to... (read more) Author: Bobbijo Frazier

12. Getting Away from it All September 03, 2008 There is a lesser-known small island in the North Atlantic called Iceland where you can still get away from it all and experience nature in a near pristine state. That is just what I needed. Iceland is a country roughly the size of Kentucky but with a lot fewer people. It is located a little below the Arctic Circle roughly between Greenland and the United Kingdom and about a 5-hour flight from the East coast of the US. It has a population of just over three hundred thousand people which means that the population density is very low. Population numbers and geography aside, Iceland...

16. The Right Engagement Ring July 13, 2008 Deciding on the right engagement ring can be an extremely tough decision. Careful consideration must therefore be given. The Big Decision The decision to give someone an engagement ring is potentially one of the biggest decisions of a person’s life. This is because an engagement ring represents the notion that one person is declaring their love to another and wants to spend the rest of their life with them.

20. Hydropower in Iceland - Earth Friendly or Not? June 03, 2008 The development of hydropower in Iceland has not been without controversy. There are vocal pundits and laypersons on both sides of the debate. So, is hydropower in Iceland a green energy or do the liabilities outweigh the assets? It seems to me that hydropower is one of those renewable energies on the fringe of those energy sources considered green, i.e. having minimal impact on the environment. Humans have been harnessing water power in one form or another for centuries. But let’s face it our sheer numbers and technological advancements are crowding out nature with deleterious effects...

Currently, renewable or green energy sources provide 72% of the country’s electricity needs.

Iceland derives this energy from two main renewable sources, geothermal and hydroelectr... (read more) Author: David Brooks

22. Get Me Some Room Darkening Window Shades! May 19, 2008 I am spending the next four months in Iceland, during the time when the sun doesn’t set till quite late and I am having trouble sleeping. I needed some serious help. Last month I moved to Iceland for a temporary work assignment. All-in-all, it has been fine and I have been excited about living in a new place and all that usually comes with new experiences. One thing that I didn’t anticipate was the trouble I would have sleeping because of the long, long periods of day light at this latitude. I will be here through the spring and summer, and right now, as of May, the sun doesn’t set ti... (read more) Author: David Brooks

23. Wrath of Gods starring Gerard Butler (an enthralling adventure in filmmaking) May 12, 2008 Nothing is quite as intriguing as the fascinating world of moviemaking. Most interesting are the stories of productions told in documentaries that capture the filmmaker's vision and dreams powered by what seems psychotic obsession to bring production to a wrap while overcoming huge obstacles at every turn. Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe's Lost In la Mancha brought us the failed attempt by Terri Gilliam to film "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote", Les Blank's "Burden of Dreams" about the chaotic production of Werner Herzog's epic 'Fitzcarraldo' deep in the Amazon jungle, and Fax Bahr and George Hicke...

24. Jon Gustafsson...Director On The Rise May 12, 2008 The art of creating movies is as unique and individual as the finger prints on our hands. Film directors, creative story tellers they are, visualize every aspect of their film long before lighting is set, cameras roll, and action begins. They are magicians making magic that entertains us with the final cut that reflects the spirit and passion of their dreams. Comes one such filmmaker on the horizon, Jon Gustafsson. Born and raised in Iceland, he developed a passion for filmmaking when his father gave him an 8mm camera. Pursuing his dreams he studied filmmaking in Manchester, England ...

25. Hiking Vacation Idea May 05, 2008 Some people’s idea of a vacation is to lounge around on the beach with a cocktail in their hands and there’s nothing wrong with that. But for some of us a challenging new hike is preferred. There are great places to hike all over the world. My personal preference is in cooler wetter climates; I am not a big fan of deserts or super hot and humid climates. I find it easier to get warm than it is to get cool - to each their own. Anyways, earlier this year I took a hiking vacation in Iceland. I am not sure how aware most Americans are of this tiny island nation. But, the bottom line is, if ...
