Am I clinically dead?

With the media reports about a certain country's former leader being so was the subject of much debate since no body actually knew. To me this really stinks since it was the BBC who jumped in on ambiguous information. Usually they would be very specific and clear about matters pertaining to the state of a being. Dead or alive as it were. Now enter clinically dead. What the heck is that? Is that sort of a predead state? In which case I too would qualify. You see that is what any human would be before they died? It it not? Its sort of like precooked. Not yet cooked but somewhat cooked - just microwave and its done. Who or how does one qualify for this interesting state of affairs? What rights does a clinically dead person have? Which clinic is it that deems someone clinically dead? Is there consensus amongst clinics around the world to define this term? More important is how long does one have before going from being clinically dead to just plain DEAD? Can someone answer this dead on?

    This is really deadly stuff, man. Hope that I am not in a clinic before I die, or else I don't know what they might declare me as. Maybe brain dead? Wouldn't do at all..think of the loss of FACE!

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

 The Palmetto state.  One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back.  We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination.  Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old.  The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago.  The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitud...
