.... and for the better. I think this entire AThomas signing (your lips to god's ear, if its true) is just one thing that could change the entire focus of what we are looking for in the draft. The other things that seem to be happening are the many cuts and tenders that have occurred in the last few days. LB- If we do sign Thomas that will upgrade the LB corps immensely. It will immediately become deeper and more talented. It will allow scheming flexibility that we haven't been able to accomplish since Willie left. It will ALSO negate the need to draft a LB/Tweener in the first round. We also will still have enough money to sign a Seau or Edwards for depth an situational packages Remember, unless you are a Lawrence Taylor type freak athlete, it takes 2-4 years for a LB to be ready play a significant role in our defense. To be more than a situational pass rusher, for example. According to most analysts, there is going to be little difference athletically between the players you are going to draft at the end of the first round and those in the 3rd and 4th rounds, especially of the LB/tweener & WR type. Don't forget, we are getting gitty about a guy who didn't do much his first 2-3 years, while he was learning. Even the AThomas' of the world take time to develop. I would propose that the Pats will take one of these 2 strategies. Disclaimer: This assumes we sign Thomas and some vet WR like a Joe Horn who can take some immediate pressure off our WRs. 1. You want your first round pick to make an immediate impact. I don't think anyone the Pats draft at 24 & 28 WILL make an immediate impact. So in lieu of that the Pats package those 2 picks and get to the 8th pick (which I am told is what those 2 picks will get you) and draft one of the few guys who is concidered an IMMEDIATE IMPACT PLAYER - Leron Landry. This makes a lot of sense in a couple of ways. First, there was a time where the Safety position was a poor relation to the CBs as far as worth goes. However with more and more teams (including the Pats) playing complex zones, and less true man to man, the safety position is becoming more and more important to the success of your overall defense. Just look at the impact that Sanders and Troy P, have had on the Colts and Steeler D's. It also gets us an impact safety who will be there when Rodney hangs them up (which will be VERY soon). Here is the trade off. By moving up the Pats loose the opportunity to draft 2 good players who, in all llikelihood will EVENTUALLY become productive starters, in order to get a single player who will become an immediate starter at a key position. (BTW- a positon MUCH more important that WR to the ultimate success of the team - Thank you Deon ) This strategy will STILL leave the Pats with two picks on the first day to get a developmental LB, CB or WR, filling those other needs & depth. Yes the Pats can stand pat and probably pick up either Merriweather or Griffin late in that round, but while good, they aren't the player the Landry is, and I'll bet in 3 years there will be a couple of safeties playing in the league that are just as good if not better than those 2, who were gotten by some team in the 3 round or lower. Didn't Rodney go in the 4th round? So sure we MIGHT be able to fill that Safety need later in the draft, but clearly from past experience of drafting several safeties that DIDN'T help us, it would be more a matter of luck than design. By following THIS strategy we eliminate the risk. 2. The other Strategy is do just the opposite and move down in the draft. With immediate needs at WR and LB taken care of, we drop down in the draft and wind up with 5 first day picks and a 2 4th rounders and stock up on good young talent, hoping that at least 4, and more llikely 5 of those first 7 picks eventually wind up being productive starters on your team. Supposedly, this is a draft that is thin at the top, but very deep beyond the elite players. This strategy not only answers the need to develop a deep reserve of quality players, it makes sense economically. Those 7 picks would cost together SIGNIFICANTLY less that a single contract at the 8th pick. When I was starting my first year as a HS HC, an old vet coach pulled me aside and told me a bit of advice that was true then as it is now; that football is numbers game. You need depth, not just high end talent to win consistantly. The Pats have proven for 6 year how important that adage is even in the pro game. A career can be over in a single play, so teams CANNOT tie up TOO much money on individual great talents. So while putting many fans to sleep with a slew of "no name" draft picks the Pats just keep on, keepin' on, building the roster from the middle out, just like they built their teams, from the OL/DL out. I think both strategies are viable, but they are mutually exclusive. As a fan, I'd love the first one, because we'd get very excited having a talent like Landry on the team, hopefully healthy and long term. On the other hand, if we went the second way, there would be a lot less to talk about, BUT in the long term, the team will still prosper. Remember we were 66 seconds away from another superbowl with a team that was battered almost beyond recognition, and a WR corps universally dismissed. Think about a season where we upgraded our frontline talent and added significantly to our depth. Kind of makes you wish it was September already....doesn't it.
I'm all for trading our two #1's for LaRon Landry, however I'm not sure the Texans would go for that. At #8, Quinn falls into their lap, even Peterson may drop. If both are gone, I don't think anybody else is worth two first rounders from a Texans' perspective. We can do with a stud safety, they cannot considering their much more pressing needs.
Ken, I really don't see this changing the draft strategy as much as you say. Look at these statements in your post... If it takes 2-4 years to groom a Patriots LB, drafting day-1 LB talent was never about the 2007 season to begin with. From the start, it's been virtually certain that the Patriots would sign a vet FA for this year's starting lineup, whether it's Thomas or a lesser name. But even assuming Thomas, you're talking about 4 starting LBs all over the age of 30, with currently only UDFAs to back them up! There is plenty of room for linebackers on this team. TBC, Gardner, Seau, Izzo and Davis are all FAs. I wouldn't be surprised to see the team sign two significant vets AND draft two significant rookie LBs if they see the talent available. As for Landry, he's a terrific prospect but there are at leaast half a dozen excellent safety prospects in this draft class, it's one of the draft's few real bright spots. I don't think I'd pull the trigger.
PFK, one issue is that high picks cost so much more and the draft is a crap shoot that the risk/reward often isn't there. It's often better to spend in FA on proven talent than on high picks. I'd much rather roll the dice twice at 24 and 28, for a lower total sum.
I agree with paragraph 1. I agree with paragraph 2. I probably agree with paragraph 3, but if someone asked me, "Would you give me #24 and #28 if I give you Laron Landry?", I would have to think about it...a lot.
Rather than thinking picks, think of who we might get with the picks and how that would help the team. It depends on how much better Landy is than Reggie Nelson, whom we could grab at #24 easily. Would we be better off as a team with just landry, or with Reggie Nelson and WR Gonslaez? Better with Landry, or better with Nelson and Willis, or Nelson and a CB (Ross or Hughes) That is always the problem for me with trading two #1's for one. It is a rarre player that will make a team better than two other players. Yeah, Landry is better than Nelson, but THAT much better?
I completely disagree. The Pats have drafted guys like Warren and Watson who took years to develop. And packaging 2 1st rounders just to take 1 guy? NO THANKS! Plus, it contradicts your previous point about going for depth instead of a few superstars. Your suggestion is using short-sighted thinking.
What he said. Trading up like that for one player is rarely a good idea. Plus, if we manage to land a couple key free agents (Thomas and a WR), we will really need to use the draft for depth, so two low first round picks would be much more ideal, given that they will be cheaper and, obviously, more plentiful. Trading down for even more picks is possible, but I kinda like where we are.
Fine post Ken, but I can't agree at all about trading BOTH firsts. I'd trade down or out from #'s 24 or 28, and even make a slight trade up, but in no way would I consider trading both for Landry. Your scenario for Landry states he'd be an "IMMEDIATE IMPACT PLAYER". How could he make an impact this season with Rodney on board? Seems to me that most of the round one prospects won't make a significant contribution until year two. If this is true, draft a lesser rated Safety later on, save both firsts, while that rookie Safety has a chance to learn from one of the best in Harrison. As was mentioned previously, Safety is an extremely deep and talented crop this draft -- at both SS and FS. IMO it's stonger than WR (for the Pats). And this is nothing against Landry, who coincidentally was an early round one favorite of mine for the Pats last draft...until that is he decided not to declare. Age is only one factor for seeking replacements for Rodney, Bruschi, Seau and others on defense. The performance of Wilson is another factor, along with the potential loss of Samuel. Then we have the eventual departure of Troy Brown, and the uncertainty surrounding CJ's development. TBC offers quality depth -- but he may go elsewhere soon. So there's lots of potential holes to fill in the next couple of seasons -- the more picks the merrier. And as they say...the future is now.
Seneschal, first this assumes that Rodney will be ready to come back next season, but assume he does. Landry would be the free safety, vastly improving our coverage back there. It would also have the benefit of moving Wilson back to CB. This would greatly increase our depth at THAT position, again allowing more scheming flexibility because the talent would be better than it has been. This filters down to special teams as well. Now we would have Landry and Hawkins playing playing FS, and Harrison and Sanders at SS. That is a huge upgrade over what almost got us to a Championship. Like I said, I agree with you that there is good depth at the safety and CB positions this year, and YES, I think there will be a couple of guys picked after round 2 that will be great safeties in the league. The problem is there will ALSO be a few that will remind us of a few of the guys we that already drafted in rounds 3-4 who have already failed. My position is by trading down, we are taking large risks in finding the great safety, by trading up to get Landry, we eliminate the risk. Remember for every Rodney Harrison that emerges from round 4, there are 10 guys selected that no ever hears of again. Also I think Landry is good enough to be an INSTANT starter, or at least after the first few games, while anyother S you pick later, would need an apprenticeship of a year or so. Thus his value increases, sort of like the time value of money. You have the time value of the player.
I agree. Counting on Rodney as a sure-fire starter at ALL is never going to happen again. I love the guy but we are drafting his replacement - NOW, imo.
I agree with PFK here; that's why trading #s 24 and 28 for Landry is so tempting. I would still like to wait until we are on the clock, before pulling the trigger. (Drafting someone for another team, then swapping selections, happens sometimes during the NBA draft. The Smelltics and Grizzlies did it in 2003. Maybe we could start a new trend here, too.) P.S.: Damn the Seahawks, they should have gone 7-9 (the zebras gave them the win vs. GB, e.g.), and we would be sitting at #11.

JOHN MCCAIN'S characterisation of the Guantánamo decision comes at an awkward time. This week, he strayed perilously close to being indicted for the deadly sin of flip-flopping, which famously helped doom John Kerry's presidential bid in 2004.
The candidate's excoriation of the Supreme Court seemed like overkill, given the limited nature of the judgment, and doubly odd given that Mr McCain supports the immediate closure of the prison camp and the transfer of its prisoners to the mainland. That would give them far greater protection than anything the court has done. But it does, of course, please the Republican base, which has its doubts about Mr McCain and which may be tempted to stay at home in November.
Mr McCain has been throwing other bits of red meat rightwards as well. He has recently proposed expanding George Bush's tax cuts, though he originally voted against them. On June 16th he proclaimed that he supports offshore drilling along America's coastline, something he opposed last time he ran. To be sure, the global energy crisis makes the argument for drilling stronger than it was during the 2000 presidential campaign. But this base-pleasing policy shift sits oddly with Mr McCain's bid to paint himself as a green candidate and as a maverick among Republicans. So he was also at pains to reassure green voters, stressing that he is still opposed to drilling for oil in the Arctic wildlife reserve in Alaska. The base doesn't like that.
None of this adds up to a flip-flop of Kerryan proportions, though it is not the kind of straight talk on which the senator prides himself. For every voter reassured on the right, Mr McCain runs the risk of driving away one or more in the independent centre, where elections are won and lost—so those voters, too, have to be mollified. If he goes on dancing like this, commented the Washington Post, he's liable to break a hip.

"You know, I don't know anything about being T Bone Burnett," says T Bone Burnett with a slight grin. "I usually tell people I'm a political consultant so I don't have to answer that weird question: 'Are you somebody famous?' or 'Should I know you?' You're on a plane and somebody says, 'What do you do?' and you say, 'I write songs,' and they say, 'Have I heard any of them?' and you say, 'Uh, yes. You have. Yes.' 'Which ones?' 'Well—which ones have you heard?'"Chances are you have heard him. T Bone learned his craft when he was growing up in Fort Worth, where as a teenager he bought a downtown studio underneath the KXOL radio station. Since then the 53-year-old has released seven critically acclaimed solo albums and produced more than seventy albums, including Elvis Costello's Spike, Roy Orbison's Mystery Girl, Gillian Welch's Revival, and Los Lobos' How Will the Wolf Survive? Last spring he finished producing the soundtrack to Joel and Ethan Coen's Southern odyssey, O Brother, Where Art Thou? which promptly brought even more praise, becoming one of the most talked-about soundtracks in recent years. But a project of that magnitude isn't unusual; he is always working on something big.
In fact, when I caught up with him this winter, he was in a room at San Francisco's Hotel Nikko, an hour before he was supposed to perform the music for Sam Shepard's newest play, The Late Henry Moss. The archetypal long, tall Texan claims he's only six four, yet when he stands, the ceiling looms suddenly closer, and when he folds into the sofa, his arachnid legs and arms seem to take over the room. As he goes over the Henry Moss chords on a guitar, he explains that everything he performs in the play is tuned to D minor—it sounds eerie, gothic, like you're being led through a tunnel to the supernatural world. He gets the motif rolling, turning over and over, then he gives a play-by-play:
"Okay, here, [James] Gammon, who plays the old man, walks onstage. The light hits his eyes, and he lets out a howl. I thought it would be a nice counterpoint to put a major chord here—the only major chord in the play."
He hits it: Strummmm.
Then he imitates Gammon—screaming "Aaaaah!" and shielding his eyes—and doubles up in hysterics. He plucks through this section of the song a few more times, following with a scream, laughing just as hard after each round. There's a knock at the door.
The guitar understudy enters, takes a seat, and tunes his guitar to D minor. Then T Bone starts teaching the songs.
"Like this."
"Then this."
Another knock at the door. The understudy's redheaded female friend arrives, drunk or maybe just chatty, and impatiently takes a seat on the floor. She takes a bead on the tall man with the teenager's face, bright blue eyes, and brown-red hair, wearing a navy blue wool suit, with a white collar and sleeves that poke out, making him look like a member of the clergy. She offers her hand to him limply and asks, "Who are you?" "T Bone," he tells her, in the slow, happy, ultracalm, just-woke-up way he communicates most everything, and takes her hand.
"Oh"—her eyes get as big as saucers as she dramatically puts her hand over her mouth, embarrassed—"I thought you were black."
He blinks, then responds dryly, "I am."
Her eyes dart around the room. Squirm, squirm, squirm. Then the "Are you somebody" question arises.
"Are you … cool?" she asks.
He does not claim to be a political consultant. His eyelashes fan out with surprise, and he goes back to his guitar, amused. "Hang around and find out."
If he didn't know anything about being T Bone the first half of his life, he is finding out now. Never mind that as a producer he has imprinted his style on recordings of Marshall Crenshaw, Delbert McClinton, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and his wife, Sam Phillips. Because after a nine-year drought in his own work, nine years of wondering what—if anything—he was going to write again, he's reemerging this year in a creative downpour. "It has all been practice for what's coming up now," he says. Here's what's in the flood: He is recording a new solo record, The True False Identity, his first effort since the 1992 Grammy-nominated The Criminal Under My Own Hat. He is releasing an album from his 1997 collaboration with Sam Shepard on Shepard's play The Tooth of Crime. He is writing songs for a rockabilly CD ("I just think it's time to do it. Just have a massive session"). He's releasing a remixed version of his third solo record, Proof Through the Night. He's composing music for a film by Shepard and Wim Wenders called In America. He's writing new songs for the Steppenwolf Theatre Company's production of Bertolt Brecht's play Mother Courage and Her Children. Finally, he's putting on a few live shows this spring in Austin. Then there's Shepard's new play, which had been the talk of San Francisco months before its opening in the Magic Theatre's production at Theater on the Square. Shepard directs, T Bone performs guitar next to the stage, and the cast reads like the Grauman's Chinese Theater walk of fame: Sean Penn! Nick Nolte! Woody Harrelson! Cheech Marin! Shepard and T Bone met in 1975 in Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, a touring act composed of singers and songwriters including Ronnie Hawkins, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, and Ramblin' Jack Elliott. Shepard wrote a great story about one of his first encounters with T Bone backstage in his Rolling Thunder Logbook: T Bone pivoted on the heels of his Tony Lama cowboy boots, bent over, and jabbed his chin into Shepard's neck, whereupon T Bone's Texas drawl "cuts into my earbones." They became friends, and four years ago, when Shepard asked him to write some music for The Tooth of Crime, T Bone accepted though he hadn't

All of this ¾-inch Rebar is Treated with STOP RUST, so that it will Endure the Test of Time.
Once again, the Floor is laid on Conglomerate Bedrock, and is therefore as Permanent as we can get it.
The Beginning of our Swangkee TOOL HOUSE Walls, using PRECISE Concrete Forms, which are made of Aluminum. Notice that the Gray Rhyolite Rocks, which are similar to Granite Rocks, are washed and laying on the Tables, waiting to be put into the Concrete Forms. Also, notice the Rebar and Wire that are laying nearby on the Concrete Slab, along with Tools for Working with the Concrete.
A closer View of the Rocks and Forms with the Woodshed Carport Guard House in the Background.
The Form is 30 feet long, the Wall is 2 feet thick/deep, and 3 feet tall.
We used a 200-feet-long Ramp, in order to carry more than 600 Wheelbarrows full of Concrete from the (Yellow) Stone Mixer, which stands under the Shed in the distance at the left of the Photo. It required 2 Days just to get this Ramp set up Correctly; but, it Saved us much Work, by making a SMOOTH Path to push the Wheelbarrows on. The Hardened Concrete Washhouse/Bunker is at the Right side of the Photo.
This shows another View of the Ramp as it Joins the Concrete Floor of the Tool House. This Ramp was later extended to 250 feet, in order to Ramp the Concrete up to the Second Step of the Concrete Wall of the Tool House, by going all of the way around it with the Ramp.
Most of the First Step of the Wall is finished, with the Rhyolite Rocks laying on top of it, being ready for the next Block of Concrete at the far left (not Visible in the Photo). We used a Wheelbarrow to carry the Rocks over there as they were needed. This saved us from having to lift the Rocks up to that height while doing the Work on the Wall, itself, as Opposed to laying them on the Floor, and then having to stoop over and pick them up: because there was already Enough Work to do, without doing any more of it. Notice the small rectangular Hole at the bottom of the Wall at the right side. It is the Cold-air Entrance Vent that goes into the Future Solar-heat-collecting Glass House that will be Attached to the South Side of this Building, later on, when someone is so Kind and Generous as to Contribute to this Good Example of a Well-made Tool House, whose Name will be Engraved in Granite and Posted on the Wall for a Memorial to that Thoughtful Person, who Knows that we have Plenty to do without Looking for Minimum-wage Jobs in the City of Confusion: beCause of being Grade School DROP OUTS! UPDATE: We Abandoned the entire Farm, after the Housing Bubble Burst, and the Banksters said that it was not Worth anything. They would not even Loan 10,000$ on it all. So much for "getting a good education, working hard, saving your money, and playing by the rules." We Proved that to be nothing but a Capitalist LIE. Some People would Join the "Terrorists" to get Revenge on them. I say that we should bring all of them to COURT. See the Link below.
You can see some of the PRECISE Forms, Incorporated Metal Forms that we used in order to make the Blocks of Concrete.
Notice that we used an 8-feet-long Precise Form laying down, in order to make the short Concrete Block at the left of the Doorway. There is a short Form inside of that Form, which is Clamped into place, making it the single most Complicated Form of the entire Building Project. Moreover, that one short Block contains 4 Electrical Outlet Boxes for Switches and Plug-ins. Notice that the Precise Form is Covered on the Face of it with Heavy Slick Rubber and Clear Plastic, in order to Avoid the Use of any Kind of Oil or Lubricant that might Prevent the Concrete from Sticking to the Form, which Plastic also makes a Smooth Surface on the Finished Concrete, which is Good for Painting or Tiling or leaving it just as it is, which is quite Attractive when Compared with Rough Concrete.
3 of us hauled about 30 Trailer-loads of Rough Rocks Home during 10 Days of Labor,
even though we hauled 5 Loads during just one Day: because those Rocks just Happened to be Convenient for Loading.
Notice the Fig House in the Background, which has 3-feet-thick Native Rock Walls.

Pancha Bhoota Stalam
Pancha Bhoota Stalam or Pancha Bhoota Stala (Tamil:பஞ்ச பூதத்தலம், Sanskrit: पन्च भूत स्थल) refers to the five Shiva temples,[1] dedicated to Shiva, a Hindu god, each representing the manifestation of the five prime elements of nature- land, water, air, sky, fire.[2] Pancha indicates Five, Bhoota means elements and Stala means place. All these temples are located in South India with four of these temples in Tamil Nadu and one in present day Andhra Pradesh. The five elements are believed to be enshrined in the five lingams[1] and each of the lingams representing Shiva in the temple have five distinct names based on the elements they represent.
Part of a series on |
Hinduism |
Pancha Bhootam[edit]
According to Hinduism, life and the various species originated by the combination of planetary globes and the five manifestations of nature namely air, water, fire, land and sky. Bhoota(Sanskrit:भूत) in Sanskrit means compound and maha bhoota indicates a big compound.[3] According to Ayurveda, an ancient Indian medical system, the equilibrium of the body with the pancha bhootas is governed by the principles of tridoshas -kaph(phlegm), pitta(bile), vayu(gas), dhātu and malas(waste products).[4] Rabindranath Tagore, a nobel lauerate for literature, in his poem, Pancha bhoota, has explained the emotional faculty of the human mind is keenly sensitive to all objects of light, colour, sound, effect of speed, sun, moon and stars.[5]
The Five Temples[edit]
In Tiruvannamalai temple, Shiva is said to have manifested himself in the form of massive column of fire, whose crown and feet could not be found by the Hindu God of creation, Brahma and Hindu God of preservation (or maintainer) Vishnu. A celebration of this manifestation is seen even today in the age old traditions observed during the festivals of Sivarathri and Karthigai Deepam.[6] Agni Lingam explains the mythics of life - duty, virtue, self-sacrifice and finally liberation by and through ascetic life -duty, virtue, self-sacrifice and finally liberation by and through ascetic life at the end of Agni kalpa.[7] In Thiruvanaikaval temple, Shiva represents water element where the appu lingam is submerged in water[1] and a perennial sub terrain spring gushes around the lingam.[8] In Chidambaram, empty space is worshiped as Shiva(akasha lingam) to signify God is beyond human comprehension. It is unusual where there is no physical stone lingam present, unlike other temples of Shiva.[9]

Smilla's Sense of Snow
Smilla Jaspersen befriends her neighbor, a six-year ld boy who appears to be neglected, but when he dies in what is termed a tragic accident, Smilla begins to suspect that he was murdered.
McMillan Palgrave
A Time Best Book of the Year · An Entertainment Weekly Best Book of the Year · A People Best Book of the Year · Winner of the CWA Silver Dagger Award · A Finalist for the Edgar Award for Best Mystery Novel · "Seductive… a superbly constructed thriller."---People · "Splendid entertainment…The suspense novel as exploration of the heart."---The New York Times Book Review · "Astonishing… Like John le Carré and Graham Greene before him, Peter Høeg has given a thriller moral and political resonance."---Los Angeles Times · "A considerable achievement, a riveting suspense tale."---Jane Smiley, The Washington Post Book World · "A book of considerable intelligence…Demands to be read aloud and savored."---The New Yorker · "Wonderful…A thriller like no other."---Newsweek · "Enchanting."---Chicago Tribune · "Beautifully written and beautifully translated."---The Seattle Times · "The best [thriller] I've read in years."---The New Republic · "Peter Høeg has shown himself to be a writer of real stature."---The Times (London) · "One never wants to stop reading."--- Orlando Sentinel First published in 1992, Smilla's Sense of Snow instantly became an international sensation. When caustic Smilla Jaspersen discovers that her neighbor---a neglected six-year-old boy, and possibly her only friend---has died in a tragic accident, a peculiar intuition tells her it was murder. Unpredictable to the last page, Smilla's Sense of Snow is one of the most beautifully written and original crime stories of our time, a new classic.

I came here during the day on a Sunday and it was great. Music, food, cabanas and not too busy. A breath of fresh air compared to Intervention at the Hard Rock which is crazy! You do not need to be a hotel guest either, which is how it is with most hotel pools downtown. At night this is a fun place too. No cover, pretty good music and it DOES get busy on the weekends!

Woman and adult children were unable to bear harassment from moneylender
Mounting debts led three of a family to attempt suicide in their house on Srinivasan Street in Perambur on Friday.
However, they were saved in the nick of time by relatives and neighbours.
According to the police, Gloriya (54) and her children, Dominic (29) and Nancy (22), decided to end their lives unable to bear harassment from a real-estate agent, who Gloriya had borrowed money from.
Last year, Gloriya, wife of Don John Bosco (60), who works as a night watchman at St. John's International School near Poonamallee, borrowed Rs. 5 lakh from K. Savaranan, a real estate agent in Kolathur, to meet the family's medical expenses.
Saravanan lent the money at a monthly interest rate of 10 per cent. Gloriya was confident she could repay the amount as her son Dominic works in a software firm in the city and daughter Nancy works for a private shipping cargo company.
But over the months, the family found it increasingly difficult to pay the high interest amount and the dues went up to Rs. 21 lakh.
Unable to bear Saravanan's harassment over non-payment of dues, Gloriya and her children decided to end their lives.
Initially, they consumed pills past the expiry date but when that failed to produce an effect, the three cut their veins, around 1 a.m. on Friday. Don John Bosco was at work at the time.
After taking the extreme step, Nancy was unable to bear the pain and contacted her uncle, William, over phone.
He rushed to the house and with the help of some neighbours, rushed the trio to Government Stanley Hospital.
They are now out of danger. A case was registered by the Sembium police.

New drill for Army's training officers
US Army drill sergeants, among the most feared officers in the military, tone down their training methods as the demands of war and recruitment change.
Fort Jackson, S.C.
Three tours in Iraq, as well as growing up on the streets of the Bronx, N.Y., has prepared Eddie Carabello well for his current task: In essence, whipping a bunch of no-good, Xbox-playing, iPod-listening, TV-generation-types into steely warriors. Fast.
"Whatever you do, do not embarrass me!" bellows the US Army drill sergeant at a cohort of freshly shorn recruits on the first day of basic training. Sergeant Carabello's trademark raspy voice booms through the Carolina pitch pine. His Smokey-the-bear "campaign" hat is tilted low over a scowling brow. "Don't ever leave your battle buddy behind, comrade!" he shouts at a soldier who has returned from the latrine alone.
Carabello, believe it or not, represents a softer, more sensitive drill sergeant. Back in the old days, he probably wanted to tattoo your behind. Now he just wants you not to embarrass him. Carabello is part of a significant but subtle change in one of the most feared and caricatured roles in the US military – the burr-headed officers who train young Army recruits for combat.
Let's be clear right up front: The "new" drill sergeants are not white-glove types. They still play the full thespian range – deprecator in chief, obstacle course bully, mess hall heckler, and all-around merry antagonist.
But new battlefield challenges, coupled with the realities of recruiting, are forcing Carabello and his fellow drill sergeants to dial down their methods. Gone are the days of instructors "getting physical" with recruits. Hazing rituals are out. Even the name-calling has changed: Instructors are supposed to use "warrior" or "private" or the recruit's last name when addressing individual soldiers rather than any abusive language.
"We used to be much meaner," says former Army drill Sgt. Veran Hill, now a civilian community affairs officer at Fort Jackson.

Oh heck just gives us something to argue about. It's hard waiting untill the next season shows up so we take it out on our ky hunting people, kinda like family bickering. You wana see some hate? Try posting you voted for that scumbag obama and are planning on doing it again, lol.
How come the confirmation parts says about the mt lion kitten killed and you click on big picture and there is no confirmations in ky?
No hate for anyone man. It's just that as of right now, today, there have not been, and aren't currently any Mtn. Lions in KY. Therefore, most of us have sense enought not to make silly posts about sightings and confirmations. However, there are a couple of folks on here that will bet their life on it. Hopefully you're not one of those.
Nah .. I only bet my life on Russian roulette and cheap moonshine..

Animal Collective, 'Feels' (Fat Cat)
- SPIN Rating:8 of 10
Using song titles like "Daffy Duck" and cover art that features kids in a farmyard, Animal Collective are still working with children and animals. But the New York group's vision isn't a rose-tinted regression to a lost idyll. It's more like their music is a child -- angelic one moment, monstrous the next. Dulcet passages give way to tantrums of flailing drums and shrieks.
Kids see the world as a magical place populated with spooks as much as marvels. And on Feels, their seventh album, Animal Collective give that sinister side a subliminal undertow. Although the lyrics suggest it's a love song, "Flesh Canoe" is actually a weirdly creepy thing -- a grumbling mass of guitar drones that seems to shed lumps of itself along the way. "Bees," with its hammered autoharp and piano trickles, sounds halcyon, but the lyrics could be a recovered memory of infant terror: "So sudden, the bees, they came flying / So violent, the bees, they came sly."
At the core of Animal Collective's music is the dragonfly wing-shimmer of frenetically strummed acoustic guitars, a peculiar mix of dynamism and delicacy. As ferocious as the playing can get, there's no center to the sound, just an unmoored drift of song structures that rarely follows verse-chorus patterns. AC are all about the sometimes blissful, often uncanny intermingling of song and space. Tunes take shape gradually, like a figure approaching through mist, then dissolve into eerie incantations. The contrast between the winsome vocals of Avey Tare and the music's vastness creates a sound picture of an ego engulfed by immensity.
Feels really enchants when space gets the upper hand over song. The tremulous tinglings of acoustic texture on "Daffy Duck," "Loch Raven," and "Banshee Beat" recall Brian Eno's ambient albums far more than the freak-folk outfits AC usually get placed next to. The closer, "Turn Into Something," starts as a jaunty ditty, then crumbles into a slow fade of reverberations, as if Animal Collective are blending into the scenery. Mother Nature's sons in the grand psychedelic tradition of Syd Barrett and the Incredible String Band, they finally surrender to the void.

I wonder whether I'd like I Saw Her Standing There more if I'd played it a few years ago. I worry that the sparse puzzle platform game with the bittersweet story has had its turn, and there needs to be more substance, or something new. Although I've a feeling it might also come down to ISHST falling short on the puzzle side of things. And yet, despite that, I still want to point you toward it, because dammit – it's cute. You're a stickman, and you're in love with a zombie. The aim is to get her into a cage to stop her from killing you. Lovingly.

Lieutenant-General Sir Brian Gwynne Horrocks, KCB KBE DSO MC (7 September 1895 – 4 January 1985) was a British Army officer. He is chiefly remembered as the commander of XXX Corps in Operation Market Garden and other operations during the Second World War. He also served in the First World War and the Russian Civil War, was a prisoner of war twice, and competed in the 1924 Paris Olympics. Later he was a television presenter, authored books on military history, and was Black Rod in the House of Lords for 14 years.
In 1940 Horrocks commanded a battalion during the Battle of France, the first time he served under Bernard Montgomery, the most prominent British commander of the war. Montgomery later identified Horrocks as one of his most able officers, appointing him to corps commands in both North Africa and Europe. In 1943, Horrocks was seriously wounded and took more than a year to recover before returning to command a corps in Europe. It is likely that this period out of action meant he missed out on promotion;[10] his contemporary corps commanders in North Africa, Leese and Dempsey, went on to command at army level and above. Horrocks' wound caused continuing health problems and led to his early retirement from the army after the war.
Since 1945, Horrocks has been regarded by some as one of the most successful British generals of the war, "a man who really led, a general who talked to everyone, down to the simplest private soldier",[11] and the "beau ideal of a corps commander".[12] Dwight D. Eisenhower called him "the outstanding British general under Montgomery".[13]
Horrocks was the only son of Colonel Sir William Horrocks, a doctor in the Royal Army Medical Corps. Educated at Uppingham School, an English public school, he entered the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, in 1913.[14] His score was sixth-lowest of the 167 successful applicants for cadetships—even after the addition of 200 bonus points for an Officer Training Corps (OTC) certificate, which not all the other candidates had.[15] An unpromising student, he might not have received a commission at all but for the outbreak of the First World War.[16]
Commissioned on 8 August 1914 into the 1st Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment,[17] Second Lieutenant Horrocks joined the British Expeditionary Force's retreat following its baptism of fire at the Battle of Mons. On 21 October, at the Battle of Armentières, his platoon was surrounded, and he was wounded and taken prisoner.[18] Incarcerated in a military hospital, he was repeatedly interrogated by his German captors, who believed that the British Army were using expanding bullets in contravention of the 1899 Hague Convention.[19] Horrocks' captors refused to change his clothes or sheets, and denied him and a fellow officer basic amenities. Both had temporarily lost the use of their legs, and were forced to crawl to the toilet, which caused Horrocks' wounds to become infected.[20] However, conditions improved after his discharge and transfer to a prisoner of war camp. On his way to the camp, Horrocks befriended his German escort—he attributed their rapport to the mutual respect that front-line troops share.[21] He was promoted to lieutenant on 18 December 1914,[22] despite being in enemy hands, and often tried to escape, once coming within 500 yards (460 m) of the Dutch border before being recaptured.[23] He was eventually placed in a compound for Russian officers, in the hope that the language barrier would hinder his escape attempts; Horrocks used the time to learn the Russian language. Years later, when working in the House of Commons, he surprised Nikita Khrushchev and Nikolai Bulganin by greeting them in their native tongue.[24] In the latter part of the war he was held in Holzminden prisoner-of-war camp. His resistance in captivity would earn him the Military Cross, awarded in 1920 and backdated to 5 May 1919.[6]
Repatriated at the end of the war, Horrocks had difficulty adapting to a peace-time routine. He went on sprees in London, spending four years of accumulated back-pay in six weeks.[25] However, he returned to active service in 1919 when the War Office called for volunteers who knew Russian.
In 1919 Horrocks was posted to Russia as part of the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War. After landing at Vladivostok on 19 April, he was taken to British headquarters and briefed. The White Army under Admiral Kolchak, with the help of released Czechoslovak Legion prisoners, had driven the Red Army out of Siberia. However, Kolchak's Czech troops were returning home, and the British military contingent was urgently trying to replace them with Russians. To accomplish this, the British had just two infantry battalions and two small administrative missions, one charged with training and arming the Russians with British war-surplus equipment, and the other with improving the White Army's communications.[26]
Horrocks' first task, along with a party of 13 British officers and 30 other ranks, was to guard a train delivering 27 carriages of shells to the White Army in Omsk, 3,000 miles (4,800 km) away on the Trans-Siberian Railway.[27] The journey took more than a month, and as the only party member fluent in Russian, Horrocks had to deal with many of the difficulties they encountered. At every station, he had to ward off station masters intent on acquiring the cars. While stopped in Manchuli, the British officers' presence provoked a duel between two Cossack officers. Horrocks accepted an invitation to act as a second, but the pair were arrested before the duel could take place. However, he managed to defuse the situation before it came to trial, by claiming his faulty Russian had been the cause of the misunderstanding.[28] The train eventually arrived in Omsk on 20 May, with a full cargo.
His next assignment was in Yekaterinburg in the Urals, where he was appointed second in command of a training school for non-commissioned officers attached to the Anglo-Russian Brigade.[29] He found this post frustrating, having to dismiss nearly a third of his initial cadre on medical grounds, and struggling to get supplies and support from the White Army authorities.[30] Despite this, he developed a rapport with his men and an admiration for the Russian soldier.[31]
Although British forces were ordered home shortly afterwards, Horrocks and another officer, George Hayes, remained to advise the First Siberian Army.[32] The White Army was in retreat, and Horrocks joined them as they fell back to Vladivostok, 3,000 miles (4,800 km) away. He was captured by the Red Army on 7 January 1919, in the town of Krasnoyarsk,[33] and spent 10 months as a prisoner, narrowly surviving severe typhus.[34] The British government negotiated a prisoner release, and Horrocks left Russia on 29 October, returning home on the Royal Navy cruiser HMS Delhi.[35]
Horrocks rejoined his regiment, based in Germany with the British Army of the Rhine, and followed it to Ireland, then embroiled in the Anglo-Irish War. There his duties included searching for arms and dealing with ambushes and road-blocks, which he called "a most unpleasant form of warfare".[36] This was followed by a short period in Silesia, to deal with tensions between the Polish and German populations.
On his return to Britain, Horrocks took up the modern pentathlon. He competed successfully in army tournaments, and was picked for the British Olympic team for the 1924 Paris Olympics, where he finished 19th out of 38.[37] Horrocks spent the remainder of the inter-war years in postings that included adjutant for the 9th Battalion, Middlesex Regiment of the Territorial Army (1926—1930);[38] student at the Staff College, Camberley (1931—1932);[39] Staff Captain at the War Office (1934—1936);[40] Brigade Major with the 5th Infantry Brigade (1936—1938);[41] and instructor at the Staff College.[42] The Territorial Army posting, which Horrocks considered to be among his happiest periods, provided experience in dealing with citizen soldiers, which would prove highly valuable during the Second World War.[43] He received a brevet majority in 1935, and was promoted to substantive major in 1936, and brevet lieutenant colonel in 1937.[44]
In 1928, Horrocks married Nancy Kitchin, daughter of an architect for the Local Government Board. They had one child, a daughter named Gillian, who drowned in 1979 while swimming in the River Thames.[45]
At the outbreak of the Second World War, Horrocks was working as an instructor at the Staff College, where he had taught since 1938.[46] After helping organise a new, shorter, officer-training course,[47] in December 1939 he was promoted to substantive lieutenant-colonel.[48] The following May, he was despatched to France to command the 2nd Battalion, Middlesex Regiment, a machine-gun battalion directly subordinate to the 3rd Division headquarters of Major-General Bernard Montgomery. British doctrine at the time retained heavy machine guns under the direct command of a corps or division, rather than as an organic part of subordinate formations.[49] He joined the battalion during its retreat to Dunkirk, and after only 17 days had impressed his superiors sufficiently to be given the temporary rank of brigadier, and the command of 11th Brigade. The brigade's previous commander, Kenneth Anderson, had been promoted to General Officer Commanding 3rd Division during the evacuation, when Alan Brooke, commander of II Corps, was recalled to the United Kingdom and Montgomery took over the corps.[12] On Horrocks' return to Britain, he was given command of 9th Brigade and assigned to defend against a possible German invasion.[12] A short period as Brigadier General Staff of Western Command followed, before promotion to acting major-general and command of 44th (Home Counties) Infantry Division on 25 June 1941.[50] In addition to his acting rank, he was promoted to substantive colonel on 28 May 1941 (with seniority backdated to 1 July 1940).[51]
In March 1942, Horrocks was given command of the newly formed 9th Armoured Division and gained the temporary rank of major-general on 27 June.[52] Horrocks, an infantry soldier with no experience in dealing with cavalry, was an unusual choice for commander of an armoured division.[53] He trained the division hard, organising a number of exercises to improve the effectiveness of his troops, and to familiarise himself with armoured warfare.[54] Despite never having commanded a division in battle, he was further promoted to acting lieutenant-general and sent to Egypt to command the Eighth Army's XIII Corps, under Montgomery.[55] General Harold Alexander and Lieutenant-General Montgomery had decided to make a "clean sweep" when replacing the dismissed Claude Auchinleck as Commander-in-Chief Middle East and Eighth Army commander respectively. Officers perceived to have failed under the old regime were removed, and Montgomery's favoured commanders were brought in. Among these was Horrocks, an officer whom Montgomery felt was "exactly what was wanted for the job that lay ahead".[56]
On arriving in North Africa, Horrocks' corps was ordered to defend the Alam el Halfa ridge from an expected attack by the Afrika Korps. Concerned that heavy casualties would jeopardise his planned El Alamein offensive, Montgomery instructed Horrocks to repel Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's forces "without getting unduly mauled in the process".[57] Horrocks prepared for a purely defensive battle, with his armour dug in around the ridge. When the Germans attacked on 30 August, they failed to lure the British tanks towards their 88mm guns—a tactic that had previously been used with great success—and found themselves battered by both artillery and the Desert Air Force.[58] The battle ended with the Germans in control of Himeihat hill, but at a high cost, and the Allied forces unwilling to try to re-take it after a failed attack by the 2nd New Zealand Division.[59] The army's defensive success raised morale,[60] and Horrocks was praised by his subordinate, Brigadier Roberts, for his "wonderful knack of inspiring confidence and enthusiasm wherever he goes".[61] Montgomery, too, was pleased, saying "he deserves great credit for his action on that day".[62]
Horrocks was offered the command of X Corps, an armoured corps, in the planned Alamein battle. He refused it, believing that Major-General Herbert Lumsden, a cavalry officer, would be more suited to the role.[63] Instead he retained command of XIII Corps, and was given the task of making a feint to the south to deceive Axis forces, while the main thrust was made by XXX Corps and X Corps to the north.[63] Montgomery told Horrocks that he was not to incur tank losses, so XIII Corps' offensive operations were limited to small-scale raids.[64] In the aftermath of the landmark British victory that followed, Horrocks' corps was assigned to the reserve, and was reduced in size while the rest of the Eighth Army pursued the retreating Axis forces. At one point the only formation under his command was a salvage unit clearing the wreckage of the battlefield, which he visited daily.[65] However, in December he took over command of X Corps, the lead corps in the advance of the Eighth Army, after Lumsden's dismissal for poor performance during the pursuit.[66] Horrocks was appointed a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order on 31 December 1942.[5][67]
Following the fall of Tripoli in January 1943, the remaining Axis forces retreated to prepared defences in Southern Tunisia, in front of the Mareth Line built by France before the war. Here in March, Horrocks carried out one of his most successful actions. His corps, composed of the 1st Armoured Division, a Free French brigade and the attached New Zealand Corps (which included New Zealand's 2nd Division and the British 8th Armoured Brigade), was ordered to attack as part of Operation Supercharge after XXX Corps failed to breach the line.[68] He carried out a flanking manoeuvre through a pass judged by the Germans to be impenetrable, rendering the Mareth position untenable and forcing the Axis into another retreat. Three Italian divisions were destroyed, and the German 15th Panzer Division, 21st Panzer Division and 164th Division were heavily depleted.[69] Horrocks was then transferred to First Army to take over IX Corps after its previous commander, John Crocker, was wounded in a training accident. He led this corps in the final Allied offensive in Tunisia during April and May 1943, capturing Tunis and accepting the surrender of the remnants of Rommel's Army Group Africa.[70] He was Mentioned in Despatches on 24 June,[7] and for his service in Tunisia, was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath on 5 August.[4] He was also given the rank of temporary lieutenant-general and war substantive major-general.[71]
In June 1943, Horrocks sustained serious injuries during an air raid at Bizerte, while watching a rehearsal for the Salerno landings.[72] Bullets from a strafing German fighter struck his upper chest and carried through the body, piercing his lungs, stomach, and intestines.[73] He underwent five operations and spent 14 months recovering.[45] This injury caused him pain for the rest of his life, and continuing health problems later led to his early retirement from active service.
It was a year before Horrocks recovered sufficiently to tell Alan Brooke, the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, that he was "very anxious to be given another corps".[75] Restored to the acting rank of lieutenant-general in August 1944,[76] he was sent to France to assume command of XXX Corps during the cataclysm engulfing the trapped German Seventh Army and 5th Panzer Army in the Falaise pocket. Montgomery had been dissatisfied with the performance of the corps and its commander, Gerard Bucknall, since the landings in Normandy two months earlier.[77] Horrocks retained control of XXX Corps during the advance through Belgium, taking Brussels and at one point advanced 250 miles (400 km) in only six days.[78] Supplies, however, were a constant concern, with the major French deep-water ports still in German hands, and Allied supply lines stretching perilously back to the Normandy beaches. Montgomery's 21st Army Group was by now operating 300 miles (480 km) from its ports—twice the distance logistical planners had accounted for—so XXX Corps was diverted towards Antwerp to secure its docks and harbour.[79] The city and port fell to the 11th Armoured Division in early September, but Montgomery halted XXX Corps for resupply short of the wide Albert Canal to the north of the city, which consequently remained in enemy hands.[80] Horrocks regretted this after the war, believing that his corps might have advanced another 100 miles (160 km) with the fuel available,[81] although it is doubtful this could have been achieved without delays.[79] Unknown to the Allies, at that time XXX Corps was opposed by only a single German division.[82] However, the pause allowed the Germans to regroup around the Scheldt River, and by the time the Allies resumed their advance, General Student's First Paratroop Army had arrived and set up strong defensive positions along the opposite side of the canal.[83] The task of breaking the strengthened German line, which stretched from Antwerp to the North Sea along the Scheldt River, would fall to the First Canadian Army in the month-long, costly Battle of the Scheldt.[84] By mid-September, XXX Corps had been diverted again, this time to the east.
Field Marshal Montgomery made his ambitious September thrust across the Rhine and into Germany's industrial heartland, codenamed Operation Market Garden, a priority for 21st Army Group. XXX Corps under Horrocks was to lead the ground assault, passing along a corridor held by airborne forces in order to link up with the British 1st Airborne Division in Arnhem within four days.[85] In the event XXX Corps never arrived, and although 1st Airborne clung on to their tenuous position for a further five days, by 21 September almost three-quarters of the division was destroyed or captured.[86] Postwar analyses have been divided, some stressing a perceived lack of urgency on the part of Horrocks' men, while others note that German defences in the area were severely underestimated by First Allied Airborne Army's intelligence.[87] Particularly important was the failure to identify the remnants of two SS Panzer divisions, which after Normandy had been sent to the Arnhem area for rest and refitting; intelligence had stated that only "a few infantry units and between 50 and 100 tanks" were in the Netherlands.[88] A series of counterattacks by Army Group B under Field Marshal Model kept Horrocks' units on the defensive, and delayed their advance by forcing the British to halt and secure their flank. The terrain over which Horrocks' men had to move was unsuitable, restricting the vanguard (Guards Armoured Division) to a single narrow raised highway through flat or flooded countryside.[89] Additionally, the Nijmegen Bridge, just 8 miles (13 km) from Arnhem, was not captured by the 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment on the first day as planned, and XXX Corps had to assist in its capture on their arrival in Nijmegen two days later, causing a further delay of 36 hours.[90] However, Horrocks was not personally blamed for the operation's failure; in fact, during this period the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division of James M. Gavin came under Horrocks' command, and Gavin later wrote:
He was truly a unique general officer and his qualities of leadership were greater than any I have ever seen. In lecturing at the American service school I stated frequently that General Horrocks was the finest general officer I met during the war, and the finest corps commander".[91]
— James Gavin
During the Battle of the Bulge, Horrocks was temporarily relieved of his command of XXX Corps by Field Marshall Montgomery and sent back to England for a rest. Montgomery had taken this move because Horrocks had become nervy and difficult with his staff.[92]
In early 1945, XXX Corps took part in Operation Veritable, during which the German Army was finally forced back over the Rhine. The corps employed firepower on a massive scale,[93] and "every trick that had been learnt during the past two and a half years was brought into play, and several new ones added".[94] For a short period XXX Corps also had nine divisions under its command.[95] Before the operation, Horrocks accepted an offer to use Bomber Command to attack the town of Cleves, assisting the advance of the 15th (Scottish) Division. The bombers released 1,384 long tons (1,406 t) of high explosive that devastated the town. Horrocks later said that this had been "the most terrible decision I had ever taken in my life" and that he felt "physically sick" when he saw the bombers overhead.[96] Operation Veritable was successful; and by the evening of 9 February (D+1) XXX Corps had broken through the Siegfried Line and into Germany with only light casualties.[94] Bremen was captured on 26 April, exposing the Sandbostel concentration camp, Stalag X-B. The corps had reached Cuxhaven by the time hostilities ceased.[95]
Horrocks received two further Mentions in Despatches for his service in north-west Europe on 22 March[8] and 9 August 1945,[9] and was appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire on 5 July.[3] In addition to his native country's recognition, he was honoured by the governments of Belgium (the Croix de Guerre 1940 with Palm and Grand Officer of the Order of the Crown with Palm), France (Croix de Guerre and Commandeur of the Légion d'honneur), the Netherlands (Knight Grand Officer of the Order of Orange-Nassau), Greece (Commander of the Order of King George I), and the United States (Legion of Merit).[97]
Horrocks continued to serve in the armed forces after the war, initially as GOC-in-Chief of Western Command[98] receiving substantive promotion to lieutenant-general in 1946, with seniority backdated to 29 December 1944.[99] He briefly commanded the British Army of the Rhine, until he fell ill in August 1948;[100] he was invalided out of the service early in January 1949 by the lingering effects of the wounds he had received in North Africa.[101] Promoted to Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in the King's Birthday Honours that year,[2] he served as Honorary Colonel of a Territorial Army unit of the Royal Artillery.[102] In 1949 he was appointed Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod,[103] a post traditionally held by retired officers, this appointment was confirmed on the accession of Elizabeth II in 1952.[104] The Black Rod has the responsibility of supervising the administration of the House of Lords, controlling admission to it, and taking part in ceremonies. In 1957, Horrocks had the unusual duty of ordering Vivien Leigh out of the House when she interrupted proceedings to plead that the St James's Theatre be saved from demolition.[105] On other occasions, because the Black Rod had to remain in place during long debates, Horrocks relieved his boredom by completing football pools tickets. This had the advantage of looking like note-taking to the assembled lords.[106] Horrocks held the post of Black Rod until 1963.[107]
Horrocks became interested in writing, and submitted articles about military matters to newspapers and magazines including the Picture Post and The Sunday Times. This led to a short but successful career as the presenter of a series of television programmes, British Castles (1962), Men in Battle and Epic Battle, produced by Huw Wheldon. In these, Horrocks lectured on great historical battles, "highlighting excitement and interest" to allow the programmes to appeal to the widest possible audience.[108] He was interviewed extensively for the Thames Television series, The World at War, and, to his embarrassment, appeared on the cover of the BBC's Radio Times magazine.[109] After his television career ended, he served on the board of the housebuilding company Bovis, and continued writing, contributing a column to The Sunday Times and editing a series of British Army regimental histories.[110] In 1968 Horrocks collaborated with J & L Randall as editor of the 'Merit' board game 'Combat'. His portrait and signature appear on the box and in his introduction to the game he states "In war no two battles are ever the same because the terrain is always different and it is this, more than anything else, which influences the composition of the different armies and the tactics employed by the rival Commanders". His autobiography, A Full Life, was published in 1960, and he co-authored Corps Commander, an account of his battles in north-west Europe, published in 1977.
Horrocks acted as a military consultant for the 1977 film A Bridge Too Far, based on Operation Market Garden.[111] The actor Edward Fox played Horrocks in the film, and later commented:
I enjoyed all of the films but A Bridge Too Far is the one I enjoyed the most because of the character I had to play, Lieutenant-General Brian Horrocks. Brian was alive then and I knew him well – we were friends until his death. He was a very particular type of general and it was important that I play the role correctly.[112]
— Edward Fox
Horrocks died on 4 January 1985, at the age of 89.[113] The memorial service, held at Westminster Abbey on 26 February, was attended by Major-General Peter Gillett and Secretary of State for Defence Michael Heseltine, who represented the Queen and Prime Minister respectively. Thirty regiments and many other formations and associations were represented at the service.[114]

Does Hurricane interact with Volibear's Ultimate? "Active: For the next 12 seconds, Volibear's autoattacks will blast his target with lightning that will also bounce to up to 3 nearby enemies. Each bolt of lightning will deal magic damage and will only hit each target once." EDIT: ****... "(Ranged Only)" <--- what is this? Is this a new passive type that's going to show up on more items?
Xypherous, you say that having the extra bolts will make passive abilities that count attacks include these attack (ie. Caitlyn and Kennen). My questions are: 1) Using" Headshot" (Caitlyn's passive) as an example: When you make the headshot attack, will the extra bolts increase her passive count immediately? Or will they start counting on the next auto attack? In other words, when using "headshot," will I have 2 stacks of my passive after the attack, or will I be at 0? 2) I think I already know the answer to this, but: If I am one stack of "headshot" away from getting the proc, will the bolts add to the proc before my primary attack (so i get the attack despite not having full stacks) or will they count after my main attack (capping my stacks and getting the effect on the next attack)?
This thread made me want Schwarma
I think this item might end up being a little bit of a low skill trap. The thought process? Some people don't always precisely pick their targets, but this item makes it so you get at least 50% of your damage on the right target if they are in range in a lot of situations. It may make some players more effective simply because it auto-targets squishes that they should have been targeting in the first place. I feel like some people may get sucked into that. Like, "hey this item is really effective" because they are targeting tanks, and splashing 50% damage on the right target is better then having more damage with a phantom dancer and putting it all on the wrong target. I think. Not saying it is a bad item. I am saying I expect it to be more popular with people that have trouble getting on a good target because they will naturally get more out of it.
Don't nerf Teemo. He's unique and doesn't even see much play.

Xypherous, since there are quite a few Items being added, modified, or removed (and all of them being in entirely different posts (with 20-30+ responses from you in each of them about the item)), would it be possible to have a "Summary" post that just has a quick snippet of each item, for instance Item Name Here Stats here Item builds into X X's stats Link to item + X here (ie. tear + seph). Current Item name - What is happening to it. FoN - Removed. Replacement - Spirit Visage or Elixer of Agility - Removed. Replacement - None Dust sweeping post here. Just a thought that would make forum browsing easier. Centralize all the data and such and make navigation to the other threads easier (And make this specific thread a sticky and lock it so there isnt question spamming in that thread, but in the specific threads relating to the items and so people dont have to go digging everytime they want to see a specific thread). Simply put, would allow for a quick glance at upcoming content and if the person is interested they can click the specific post for more info directly related to that item/change.
