Russian name cha car insurance ny anged according to car insurance ny the rules of doi car insurance ny ing so in English car insurance ny would
sound ridic car insurance ny culous (maybe for m car insurance ny me only, as I'm Rus car insurance ny ssian... ;-) ), not car insurance ny t mentioning
that car insurance ny it's not always po car insurance ny ossible to do this car insurance ny with Russian names car insurance ny s at all. Example:
car insurance ny

Somebody else could see trees or lava flowing.
Now, when my subconsciousness doesn't take part in the game, the
distance is covered fast. Half a minute - and I'm over there.
The tly.
I'm not really hungry; virtual food subjectively satiates, and being in
dire straits I usually eat in 'Three piglets', but now I just have to wait
for my partner.
I walk directly to the bar, behind which the robust man is standing,
taking off the headphones as I walk.
- Hi Andrei.
Sometimes the owner serves his virtual customers himself, but today
it's obviously not the case. The bartender smiles but it's just an automatic
courtesy:
- Hi! What woul is decided: let's celebrate the move for Vika. It'll not be
a shame to invite friends then.
I rose, padded to the fridge and took out a can of beer. I don't drink
before noon usually, but it's almost 1PM already. What a good time I woke up
at!
The light 'Schultheiss' seemed almost strong in the morning. It's over,
good bye 'Amsterdam-Navigator' and 'Bavaria-86', the good friends of poor
hackers. From now on - only 'Guinness', 'Heineken', 'Kilkenny'... and
instead ofomewhere but never bothered to check.
- What will we do? - asks my prisoner.
One should be an idiot to try to fight the gang like this alone, it's
easier to submit yourself and sacrifice some of your weapons hoping to be
let go after that.
- Slow down gradually. Stop after my third shot.
He nods silently.
The bandit with rocket launcher looks at us amused, waiting.
Abyss-abyss, I'm not yours... let me go, Abyss...
I looked at the picture accustortuality for more than 10 hours a day might lead to nervous
disorders and pseudoschizoid syndrome. Just a month left until the first
death in virtuality when an aged man whose destroyer was burned in a space
war above the intellectual purple reptiles' planet, died of a heart attack
right by the keyboard.
It couldn't scare anyone anymore.
The world have immersed itself.
Deeptown was created by Microsoft and IBM on the Internet.
The main advantage of virtuarn to fight pretty well. I doubt it though: the hit that one feels with
the help of virtual suit is one thing but the real steel reinforcement that
you'll be hit with in the street is absolutely different.
And of course there's 'Doom', that very game getting into which had
ushered the beginning of the virtual era.
It's main area is called simply "Labyrinth of Death". This really is a
labyrinth: 50 levels, some of them located in buildings and underground
vaults, otSergey Lukjanenko. Labyrinth of reflections

* Yuri Kalmykov. Translators notes *
About the Author:
Sergey Lukjanenko, 30, is one of the today's most popular Russian
Sci-Fi writers. His first works were published in 1988. Currently his
bibliography includes more than 40 titles of novels and short stories. The
Author defines his genre as the "hard action science fiction", but all his
works also have a very well defined philosophical aspect. The novel offered
to your attention was written in 1997 and became the real 'cult book' of the
Russian Internet.
Sergey is married, he lives in Moscow.
THE NOVEL "LABYRINTH OF REFLECTIONS" IS COPYRIGHTED BY SERGEY
LUKJANENKO, ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED BY THE AUTHOR. ANY COMMERCIAL USE OF THE
NOVEL'S TEXT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
Several notes for the reader:
1). My English sucks. So it was obviously way too presumptuous of me to
try to make a translation like this. It was my love to this book only that
made me to venture into this adventure. ;-) I was hoping that this novel is
really worth your kind attention (despite my ugly
English?).
2). Some opinions expressed in this book by the main or other
characters, as well as some words/terms used, might be considered offensive
to some Western readers. In fact, one such situation was even showed closer
to the end of the novel itself. The concept of "PC" (aka 'Political
Correctness') does not really exist in Russia which fact IMHO makes the life
much easier and slightly reduces the amount of stupidity that inevitably
presents in this life. Despite that, I definitely had to use the 'softened'
terms in my translation in order not to outrage the people (not too much at
least). But of course, something might have still leaked out. Please
consider yourselves warned.
3). FIDO
Some more confusion can be caused by Lukjanenko's technical details and
descriptions of the Net due to one more fact: he writes from the point of
view of the person who was once the FIDOnet member. Also it seems that
Sergey himself was mostly affiliated with FIDO at the time of this book's
writing. The principles of FIDO's system organization differ from the ones
of the Internet. I never was FIDO member, so I know very little. In general,
it's free, amateurs' network that allows its members to exchange emails and
files. FIDO uses its own proprietary protocol. Special gateways are used to
exchange emails with the Internet. Look at www.fidonet.org for more
details... But be prepared to get back not the homepage, but some HTML code.
{G} The guys have forgot to put the {HTML} tag into the code of their main
page... OOPS.
4). The names.
The same name in Russian usually can have several forms, reflecting the
attitude of the one who pronounces the name to the one named. The number of
these forms is as far as I can judge, much bigger than in English. That's
why in my translation I preferred to retain the original rules of forming
such names and to provide this note. Another important reason is that the
Russian name changed according to the rules of doing so in English would
sound ridiculous (maybe for me only, as I'm Russian... ;-) ), not mentioning
that it's not always possible to do this with Russian names at all. Example:
John - Johnny. Now try to do the same with, say, my name: Yuri. Yup... My
point exactly. Below is the example of how the first name of the main
character can be 'bent'. The same often happens to other names in the book.
For inexperienced reader it might be confusing, so I apologize... Russia
*is* confusing by car insurance ny definition, so bear with it. :-)
Leonid - the complete name.
Lenia (should be read roughly as Lyo-nee-aa; don't pronounce 'double
lettered' sounds as too long ones though) - this is slightly diminutive,
friendly form used by relatives and friends.
Lenechka (Lyo-nee-chka) - a "pet-name" form, sometimes also used with
sarcasm, depending on the context.
Lenchik - "pet-name"/unceremonious address.
Len'ka ( here ' means softening of the previous sound, 'n' in this name
sounds like 'n' in the word 'change') - Unceremonious address, a bit
slighting. Often used by close friends without any offensive context.
... and so on. No more forms are used in the book, so I'd better not
confuse you any more.
Another trick is how the names are formed n general. In particular, the
concept of the middle name in Russia. It is not 'given', but rather is the
father's name. To be used as a middle name, special endings are attached:
-ovich, -evich for man's middle name (yeah, they are gender specific!),
-ovna, evna for female's middle name.
Examples: Petrovich Alekseevich - men's
