The son of Artaxerxes I by a Babylonian concubine, he seized the throne from his half brother Secydianus (or Sogdianus), whom he then executed. Ochus, who had previously been satrap of Hyrcania, adopted the name of Darius on his accession; he was also known as Nothus (from the Greek nothos, meaning “bastard”). Darius was dominated by eunuchs and by his half sister and wife, the cruel and ambitious Parysatis. Intrigue and corruption were rife at the Achaemenid court, and revolts in Hyrcania and Media, although quickly suppressed, were symptomatic of the discontent caused by his rule. After the Athenian defeat at Syracuse in 413 bce, Darius decided to recover the Greek coastal cities of Asia Minor, which had been under Athenian control since 448. The satraps of Asia Minor, Tissaphernesand Pharnabazus, were ordered to collect overdue tribute, and an alliance against Athens was formed with Sparta. In the ensuing war the greater part of Ionia was recovered, but elsewhere the allies had less success, partly because of the policy of Tissaphernes, who gave Spartan forces only limited support. In 407, however, Darius decided to put all his resources behind Sparta. He appointed his son Cyrus the Younger in place of Tissaphernes as commander in chief of Asia Minor and gave him funds to re-create the Spartan fleet. As a result Athenian power was broken in 405 at Aegospotami. Not long after, Darius died of an illness. LEARN MORE in these related articles:

Hate that. #petpeeve

Been there. Bad news when saturated cookie meat falls into glass. Its like watching Hans Gruber fall down the side of the building in Die Hard.

Do I warm them in the microwave or oven? What kind of milk? 1% or 2%?

Looking for recipes but you guys are making me question my membership here. Gimme some good recipes damn it!!

5?? Damn Augie...start earlier than that. Thanks brother. Dont send my gift COD like last year. Lol Thanks JR...I remember when you celebrated 10,000 posts. Brings a tear to my eye. Im here...Im here!! Thanks man.

Thanks for the well wishes guys. As an aside...does anyone know how I can block a moderator?

We want Oakland to win? Explain this strategy I'm pretty sure we want NE to win so they can lock up the AFC East and keep our strength of schedule as a good factor when it comes time for Wild Card voting.

Who do we need to win and lose this week?

He already has tix on the Fitty

In Oops, I meant to say, link?

No lie. I was listening to our ESPN sports affiliate in Albany NY last week and I accidentally nudged the radio dial slightly and heard the following words (not verbatim but close): "....Harry Truman ...(inaudible static)... Red China Johnny Ray...(inaudible static)... H Bomb...(inaudible static)... Panmunjam." I'm thinking it's some kind of code from the North Koreans. Since they are well over 2000 miles away, I'd say radio signals do, indeed, carry over water.

I have never felt so violated by a woman as I did that day. and Thanks

Thanks gents!

LOL. Awesome. I see what you did there (re. the Sammy argument about not having a full preseason with Goff) and its perfect.

Unbelievably bad choice for a pass.

Hes an entitled, arrogant, superstar, piece of shiiit, and to ask another team to acquire him (while playing for the Bills) is bush league. Ive never seen this story before from Finley but this basically tells me hes a douche.

Where am I on my predictions? I think I have 4 of 10 so far?

Is that all? Lol

So far Ive hit #2, 3, 5 and 11...still have time. Hes appealing so I may hit the Superfecta early next week.

Hi

Some days I really think Roger has his head up his ass.

I invited you into my thread, my home, my sanctuary and you speak to me like that? Next thing you'll suggest is that I link only free content. Maybe I should rank the recipes best to worst so you have an easier time scrolling through?

I'm pretty much in this boat. There's a chance...a chance we traded away a super star/elite WR. But the probabilities are that we traded an above average WR for another above average CB and a second round pick while not having the burden of a hefty, elite WR contract next year had we kept him. Either that, or he walks and we stand there with our dicks hanging out of our pants. I'm good with what our new FO did.
