Insurance is a way of protecting yourself, your belongings and personal possessions against a particular unexpected event, such as a burglary, car accident or losing your income because of illness.
If this happens, the insurer will usually pay out an agreed amount, or an amount to cover the damage, as appropriate.
Some insurance, like third party car insurance, is compulsory - you have to have it if you own or use a car.

Legal protection cover & legal expenses |
Legal protection insurance is taken out as optional cover, at an additional cost, with home or motor insurance. It provides cover for legal costs incurred in the pursuit of certain civil claims. Under car insurance, cover would be provided to help recover uninsured losses in the event of a traffic accident, including personal injury. Under home insurance, cover would be provided to pursue legal claims for incidents such as employment or boundary disputes. Terms and Conditions apply. You would not necessarily need to have legal protection cover for both car and home insurance. |

Home insurance
Home insurance helps you protect the place where you and your family live. If you choose to, you can also protect the personal belongings within your home.
It would be nice to assume that our homes are never at risk of burglary, fire, flooding or similar events. However the reality is they may be, so it is important to insure your home and the things in it from serious financial loss.
In order to give you a quote, we'll need information about your home, the type of property, the construction date and materials and the level of cover you require.

Additional Information |
Standard home insurance policies usually provide some cover for accidental damage. For example, contents policies typically include accidental damage to home entertainment equipment such as a TV; and fixed glass in doors. However, if you would like to ensure you are covered for everyday mishaps, such as knocking over a vase or spilling red wine on a sofa then you will most likely need to extend your cover. Always check to ensure that your home insurance policy gives you the cover you need. |
Our home insurance provides accidental damage cover as standard for certain items, up to the sum insured. You can extend this cover if required by taking the Accidental Damage option for an additional premium. Please refer to the home insurance policy document for full details of the cover provided and the exclusions which apply. |

Please refer to the home insurance policy document for full details of the cover provided and the exclusions which apply. |

Please refer to the home insurance policy document for full details of the cover provided and the exclusions which apply. |
Extended accidental damage cover | In addition to the standard level of cover there is the option to increase the level of cover for an additional cost to include accidental damage for buildings or contents. This would cover events such as a paint spillage on a sofa for contents or putting a foot through the ceiling for buildings. | This is optional cover available on our home insurance policies for an additional premium |
Public liability | Public liability insurance is designed to cover you in the event of a third party making a claim against you for negligence. |
Our home contents insurance covers you up to £2 million. Please refer to the home insurance policy document for full details of the cover provided and the exclusions which apply. |
Car insurance
To legally drive a car on the road, you must have third party car insurance. Dependent on the cover you choose, car insurance can cover you if you have an accident and also against theft and fire.
We'll need information about the make and model of the car and then we'll use a panel of insurers to ensure we always give you our best quote.

Additional Information |
Critical Illness Insurance | This is an insurance policy where the insurance provider agrees to pay the policy holder a cash lump sum of money should they die from or are diagnosed with any of the Critical illnesses specified in the insurance policy during its duration. In return for this the policy holder will pay the provider a regular monthly premium. | If you are looking for critical illness cover as well as life insurance, contact us on 0800 587 5053 or visit one of our branches where an adviser will be happy to help you choose the right cover to suit you. |
Decreasing cover | A decreasing life insurance policy runs for a fixed period of time and aims to pay out a cash lump sum if you die during the policy term. The amount of cover decreases over the term of the policy because it's intended to help pay the rest of your repayment mortgage. | |
Increasing cover | The sum assured increases each year by the rate agreed. Subject to policy conditions you may be able to add indexations to your policy for an additional cost. Indexation means that the insurer automatically increases the cash lump sum paid so that the amount you receive if a claim is made isn't reduced by the effects of inflation. | |
Level cover | The sum assured remains the same throughout the term of the plan. | |
Sum assured or Sum insured |
The amount of benefit that the policy will pay out on death or diagnosis of a critical illness, or on diagnosis of a terminal illness, depending on the type of policy and cover selected. | |

A crew at the summit of Mount Washington was helpless to lend aid to a team of stranded climbers on Huntington Ravine, following an avalanche which took three of their members down 800 feet and also swept ropes and gear for the other nine.
Mike Pelchat, manager of Mount Washington State Park, and a technical climber who has handled many rescues from the summit, said he had been waiting all day Thursday for the 12-member Ascents of Honor team to make it to the summit, with growing concern as the weather deteriorated.
Led by experienced climbers, Keith Zeier, a retired Marine sergeant who is an amputee injured in Iraq in 2006, was making a technical climb to honor and raise funds for the families of fellow special operations soldiers killed or injured.
The team left at 8 a.m. from the Harvard cabin at the base of Huntington Ravine, attempting the most challenging routes up the Northeast's largest peak.
In an interview with WMUR.com prior to their departure Tuesday, lead climber Andy Politz indicated he had "a million concerns" about the climb, and weather was one of them. But he said he felt confident as well.
Zeier, who had climbed Mount Rainier with Politz in June, said he was not afraid and that this was a mission with a team, and he was happy to again be part of a team.
On Wednesday, when they hiked in to the base of Huntington Ravine, there was about 2 to 4 inches of new snow, but wind had kicked it about and spun it into drifts.
Pelchat, at about the same time the team left, expressed in an email a bit of concern about the conditions and the impending cold.
As the day wore on, and with no sign of Zeier and his group, who were expected about 2 p.m. as overnight guests of the Mount Washington Observatory, Pelchat wrote at 4:35 p.m. he was hoping the team had retreated.
While the sky was clearing from the white-out, the conditions on top of the Northeast's largest peak were still severe.

Vegankitty - can I ask how you make the quinoa soup or is there a recipe online I can look up? Also, I was wondering what type of spices you sautee your cabbage in. Sounds good!
I think some one had posted a recipe here! I just glanced over the recipe and added a few things on my own.
1. Some left over quinoa that I had made for salad2. 2 small cans of vegetable broth3. A few stalks of leaves4. Mixed vegetables (carrots, corn, green beans)5. A medium sized red pepper6. Few cloves of garlic
I sauted leek and the veggies in some water. Then added the broth and quinoa. Added some dried parsley, dried garlic powder (yeah more garlic ). Also added a dash of coriander and cumin powder (you can exclude it if you think it will be spicy) and a some cayenne pepper. Garnished it with cilantro leaves for a pretty sight! It makes a hearty soup. Yum! I am feeling hungry already
vegankitty wrote:
Um... question: #3 a few stalks of leaves - should that say "leeks" to match the sauteed veggies part or is that any green leafy's leaves?
We're always looking for tasty ways to use leftover quinoa - whoda thunk that'd be a staple in our pantry?
Oh yeah and for the cabbage- well I again used coriander/cumin powder. I first dry roasted cumin seeds and mustard seeds, turmeric and asafoetida. Then added some chopped garlic and water. Let it simmer for about 5-10 mins. Then add the cut cabbage and add some more water (eyeball it- enough to atleast get my cabbage moving). I also added the coriander/cumin powder (as mentioned above) and some red chilly powder (Feel free to exclude it if it is spicy). Basically, the cabbage should shrink and the water should be almost nil in the pan. About 10 mins before turning off the stove, I added some frozen green peas (for color). In the end garnished it with chopped cilantro leaves! Cabbage is one of my favorite vegetables!!
I wanted to say leek Its milder than onion so I prefer it in soups, stews! Sorry for the typo
B: scrambled tofu on whole meal toast + wholemeal pancakes with maple syrup.
L: sweet potato falafel wrap
Snack: stuffed vine leaves
D: spicy Jamaican stew with brown rice
Never make assumptions. You'll end up being an A**, and the UMP will TION you. -- Coach Smiley -- Fresh Prince of Bel Air

To the Editor:
I was a traditional tarpon fishing guide in Boca Grande Pass for 26 years. In my prime I boated somewhere around 500 tarpon a year and on good years well over 600. In all those years I rarely caught a tarpon anywhere but in the mouth from the inside out with my Mustad 7690 5/0 J hooks. By rarely I mean once or twice a year. It was my belief and the belief of the master who taught me that those one or two fish had thrown the hook when they jumped and the hook landed somewhere else on the tarpon.

Let's say he's this elaborate hoaxster who did this all for publicity. It's sick, it's twisted and totally messed up and not a good representation for any NFL franchise. You can't trust him.
But maybe he's a gullible Mormon boy who got led along for years and years and years and was truly stupid enough to believe he was in a loving, deep, emotional relationship despite it being all phone calls and AIM chats (despite him saying they met). If he's this sheltered of a person how will he be able to make it in the NFL? It'll only get more hectic from this point onward. Oh yeah and he is still a liar.
Either scenario is equally hilarious and I can't wait to hear him elaborate on this whole thing. He probably needs to answer some emails from long lost Nigerian relatives and help them out first though.

The Department of Homeland Security is committed to the effort to assist in the recovery from the earthquake that struck on January 12, 2010 and has announced temporary relief measures that will be made available to those individuals who are unable to return to their home country due to the destruction and humanitarian crisis in Haiti or are currently traveling in the United States.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will expedite the processing of certain immigration applications. Standard requirements for security checks will remain in place under expedited procedures. DHS will continue to work with other branches of the United States Government to closely monitor developments in Haiti to determine the need for additional action.
Guidance has been issued to each of the field offices and Service Centers directing them to adjust processes as a result of these temporary relief measures. Below are a series of questions providing specific guidance to Haitian national interested in taking advantage of this relief.
We welcome feedback on the information contained within the Q and A, including additional questions affected communities wish to have answered. If you have any questions, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
1. What temporary relief measures aside from Temporary Protected Status, will USCIS make available to Haitian nationals in response to the earthquake devastating that country? Temporary relief measures available to nationals of Haiti include favorable adjudication, where possible, of requests for change or extension of nonimmigrant status, acceptance of applications for change or extension of nonimmigrant status submitted after the alien's authorized period of admission has expired, re-parole of aliens granted parole by USCIS, extension of certain grants of advance parole, expedited processing of advance parole requests, favorable and expedited adjudication, where possible, of requests for off-campus employment authorization due to severe economic hardship for F-1 students, expedited processing of immigrant petitions for children of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs), issuance of employment authorization where appropriate and assistance to LPRs stranded overseas without documents.
2. Who will be eligible for temporary relief? All nationals of Haiti with current immigration benefits or benefit applications pending with USCIS will be eligible for temporary relief.
3. I am a Haitian national, currently I cannot return to Haiti due to the earthquake and my allowed time to stay in the US is expiring or about to expire. What are my options? Can I work or attend school during my stay in the US?Aliens wishing to change or extend their nonimmigrant status must submit an application, per existing standards, and submit evidence establishing that the events of January 12, 2010 is the basis for their inability to return to Haiti prior to the expiration of their authorized period of admission.
Change or Extension of Nonimmigrant Status: USCIS will implement procedures to adjudicate favorably where possible applications for change or extension of nonimmigrant status following the expiration of an applicant's period of admission.
Employment Authorization: Certain nonimmigrant classifications are not permitted to apply for or receive employment authorization. Nonimmigrant visitors, for instance, would not be granted work authorization.
Attending school: Certain non-immigrant classes are not permitted to attend school. Before registering for school please review your non-immigrant status to see if you or your derivative family members are allowed to attend school.
Note: B-1/B-2 visitors are not allowed to attend school. An individual who obtained B-1/B-2 visitor after April 12, 2002, may not begin studies until USCIS has approved an application for a change to F or M nonimmigrant status. Click here for more information.
4. I am a Haitian national, I was granted parole to enter the United States temporarily. I cannot return to Haiti due to the earthquake and my allowed time to stay in the US is expiring or about to expire. What are my options? Can I work during my stay in the US?A Haitian national who has already been paroled into the U.S., may apply to extend the period of parole. An alien wishing to apply to extend his or her parole can do so by applying for a Re-Parole with the USCIS. He or she would need to file an I-131 application with the fee of $360, and would include a copy of his or her Form I-94, and a description of why he or she is prevented from returning to Haiti."
Employment Authorization:
5. I am a Haitian national student currently enrolled in school in the US; due to the earthquake in Haiti I can no longer cover the cost of my education. What are my options? Can I work during my stay in the US?Nonimmigrant F-1 students from Haiti who may be unable to continue to cover the cost to engage in a full course of study may need off-campus employment authorization. An F-1 student who can demonstrate that he or she is from Haiti can apply for employment authorization to work off-campus.
The student needs to be recommended for employment by the Designated School Official (DSO) and should submit Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization along with the Form I-20 with approval from the DSO to the USCIS Service Center with jurisdiction. Please refer to the Form I-765 for instructions.
6. I am a Haitian national currently in the US under an Order of Supervision pursuant to a stay of removal issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Can I work during my stay in the US?You may be authorized to work and should submit Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization and USCIS will adjudicate as promptly as possible.
7. I am a Haitian national; I have a pending case with USCIS and need my case expedited due to the earthquake in Haiti. What are my options? Given the need for immediate relief, USCIS will expedite certain applications. Standard requirements for security checks remain in place under expedited procedures.
Expedite Processing:
8. I am a Haitian national; I have lost my resident status documents due to the earthquake in Haiti. What are my options? Persons Stranded Without Documents: USCIS overseas offices will continue to assist legal permanent residents who have lost their documents. Database checks and interviews will continue to be conducted during and outside of business hours to rapidly verify status and authorize issuance of boarding letters at the consulate in Haiti. (Boarding letters issued by DHS permit airlines to allow aliens to travel to the United States.
9. I am a Haitian national; I am in removal proceedings and cannot leave due to the earthquake in Haiti. What are my options? Individuals from Haiti who are under a final order of removal may be granted a stay of removal. This temporary suspension is specific to Haiti due to the massive infrastructure damage.
10. If a person from Haiti is out-of-status, will this person be eligible for any relief? A person whose nonimmigrant status has expired may be able to file for a change of status or for reinstatement. You will need to submit evidence establishing that the events of January 12, 2010 are the basis for your inability to return to Haiti prior to the expiration of your authorized period of admission. Please see Form I-539's, Application To Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status, filing instructions for additional information.
Additionally, a person who is out-of-status may be eligible for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). When authorized for TPS, the person may request authorization to work and travel. To see if the person qualifies for TPS, please see the TPS section on this website.
11. Is USCIS/DHS going to grant TPS to Haitian nationals?Yes. Please refer to Temporary Protected Status Questions and Answers document provided on www.uscis.gov.
12. Can an applicant for adjustment-of-status (Form I-485) travel to Haiti to assist family members without forfeiting his or her application? Can such applicants travel to Haiti to attend funerals?Aliens who have pending applications for permanent residence, Form I-485, are eligible for advance parole if they have an approved Form I-131 Request for Advance Parole. Aliens wishing to return to Haiti to assist family members or attend funerals can request expedited processing of their I-131's as described above. So long as the alien has been approved for Advance Parole, he or she may travel for short periods of time outside of the United States without abandoning the application for permanent residence.
13. Can a naturalized citizen, originally from Haiti, sponsor nieces and/or nephews or other extended minor family members who were orphaned as a result of the devastation? A U.S. citizen, whether naturalized or born in the United States, may not file a Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, on behalf of a niece, nephew or other minor extended family member who was orphaned as a result of the earthquake. A U.S. citizen may only petition for his or her spouse, parents, children, adult sons and daughters, and brothers and sisters.
The international standard among adoption professionals in a crisis is to keep children as close to their family members and community as possible. It is often difficult to determine whether children whose parents are missing are truly orphans. In the current situation, many children have become separated from one or both of their parents whose fate is unknown. Even when children are indeed orphaned, they are often taken in by other relatives. Staying with relatives in extended family units is generally a better solution than uprooting the child completely. Also, in the immediate aftermath of such disasters, a country's government may be in disarray and what resources are available may be deployed on recovery projects.
USCIS believes that it will take many months before the countries affected by the disaster will be able to identify the children who are actual orphans. It is only if and when these countries decide to make these orphans available for international adoption that American citizens will be able to begin adoption proceedings for those children who also qualify as orphans as defined in the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Additional information regarding the process of inter-country adoptions by U.S. citizens can be found at: http://uscis.gov/graphics/services/index2.htm.
14. I am a U.S. citizen and want to adopt a Haitian child. Where can I get more information about this?
Please see the Adoption section of this website. You may also visit the U.S. Department of State's adoption website for additional information about intercountry adoption from Haiti: http://adoption.state.gov/country/haiti.html

There was a time where bald women were scandalous…where women shaving their heads was taboo. Societal norms dictate that "girls should have long hair."
Among females in general, a healthy head of hair was an indicator of youth and beauty. We had princess/suburban prom queen stereotypes of normality. Women needed hair to have societal approval.
Here are photos of women who have shaved heads:
Here are some questions to ponder. You can answer all of them or some of them but I would enjoy your opinion.
Is a shaved head on a woman still taboo?
Are women who shave their heads degrading their identity?
Are bald women sexy?
What is it about a bald woman that generates so much controversy?
Why when we see a bald woman do we assume she's a lesbian, a radical feminist, a political extremist, or a skinhead?
Why is a bald female head taboo?

Gold & Silver Price Subject To Greediness Of Traders
Short covering, triggered by rumours of a potential US downgrade from Moody's, are sending gold and silver prices vertical. The move higher comes after a very suspicious spike this night in which the silver price was pushed 10% lower within the first hour of Asian trading (with a bank holiday in Europe). The charts show the price action in today's trading sessions. In our own words: folly of the highest degree, or the metals being subject to greediness of traders.

I work for a Government dept. of ??; I took over a Classified Area and I noticed that a lock on a cabinet was not locked all the way. An employee told me that they lost the combo a while ago and just don't click the lock closed all the way. We, I am a security professional and I need to fix this ASAP.
I downloaded the instructions to reset the combo. I have the Standard Change Key but no Reset Key.
after reading the instructions it looks like the Change key only works if you know the combo.
and I don't. I have the Back plate removed; the shutter on the change key hole is open.
I tried to make a reset key but after 2 days I have not been able to reset the combo.
Any Tips? Ideas, anything… I need to get my cabinet closed again with an approved lock and not a two dollar Master key lock.

$129, datacolor.com
Somewhere between a simple setup disc and a full professional calibration is the Spyder from Datacolor.
Consisting of a small colorimeter you attach to your TV, some software, and a Blu-ray (or DVD) with test patterns, the package claims to let you "calibrate" (their word) your own TV.
I've wondered for years if these things work, and if so, how well. Are they accurate "enough" for the money?
The Spyder4TV HD sensor itself is looks like something you'd see in a sci-fi movie, a tri-tip doodad that attaches to the front of your TV via elastic cabling. Calling it a "spider" is appropriate, with eight total bands stretching out from the sensor. Technically, these are two loops that wrap around the corners of the TV, but it looks vaguely spider-ish. I though it appeared more "hugging gibbon," but that's somewhat less marketable an analogy.
Sensor in place, software installed, disc in drive, and you're ready to go.
The software does a good job leading you through the process step-by-step. I have little doubt even someone who has never adjusted their TV's settings could follow this without difficulty, and that's obviously important for a product like this.
Here's how it works: The software instructs you to select a certain pattern on the disc. It reads the sensor, then instructs you to change a setting on the TV. With Contrast, for example, it instructed me to set the control to 100 (likely too high), then 0 (too dark), then 50, 75, 87, 93, 90, 92, 91 and so on. To put it simply, it finds the extremes, then narrows down to find the right setting. With Color and Tint, it adds a second pattern to the mix. It's not difficult, and the whole thing takes 20-30 minutes.
Perhaps the best feature is at the end of each setting, it shows you a little chart that diagrams your progress. And the very end you get all the charts in one pdf (see below for our results).
There's one major problem with the Spyder4TV, though — namely, the existence of every setup disc on the market. I've in the past mentioned Disney's excellent WoW disc, and Digital Video Essentials. Using WoW, I can set up every aspect of a TV the Spyder4TV can, in significantly less time. Admittedly, I'm a professional, and have done this countless times, but out of curiosity, I checked the results from the Spyder against my own settings, using the $25 WoW setup disc.
Here are the settings as chosen by the Spyder4TV:
Contrast: 91
Brightness: 67
Color: 58
Tint: 8
Here are the settings I would pick, using Disney's WoW.
Contrast: 100
Brightness: 61
Color: 40
Tint: -2
The Contrast and Brightness controls are close enough that I don't think there's much of an issue (the TV I used for this test is slightly odd in that it's not clipping with a contrast setting of 100). Between 91-100 and 61-67, you could make an argument for personal preference. The Brightness setting of 67, especially, will make a few shadows more visible.
However, the Color and Tint settings were way off, when I checked with a blue color filter. A little extra color never hurt anything, but these two were further off correct than I'd prefer.
It took me under 5 minutes to find what I'd argue are the "correct" settings for this TV. For someone who has never done it before, going through the tutorials on WoW or DVE, I could see manual calibration taking longer than it did to run through the Spyder4TV-assisted procedure.
There's only thing a setup disc can't do that the Spyder can: choose the best color temperature setting. While I'm a firm believer in accurate color temp, I'm not sure it's worth the extra $100. After all, the Normal or Warm setting is likely the closest on every TV, and choosing between the two could come down to personal choice (short of hiring a professional calibrator).
The Spyder fits an odd niche. It's for people who want to do setup themselves, but don't trust their eyes to a setup Blu-ray/DVD. The accuracy of the meter compared to one's own eyes is arguable.
In reality the only major advantage over discs like Disney's WoW and Digital Video Essentials is the ability to pick the color temperature preset closest to D6500. Not being able to go that next step, the actual calibration of color temperature (i.e grayscale tracking), is disappointing. So if you go the route of a setup disc, you'll either have to trust your eyes for the best color temp, or hire a professional ISF or THX calibrator.

Health Information
Type 1 Diabetes: Children Living With the Disease
What Increases Your Risk
Risk factors for very high or low blood sugar levels in a child with type 1 diabetes include:
- Age. Very young children are at the greatest risk for very low blood sugar, because they are often not able to communicate symptoms.
- Tight blood sugar control. Although keeping your child's blood sugar levels tightly within a Reference target range is important, this puts him or her at risk for frequent low blood sugar levels.
- Persistent high blood sugar levels. Children who have persistent high blood sugar, indicated by higher hemoglobin A1c test results, are at greater risk for Reference diabetic ketoacidosis Opens New Window than children with lower levels.
- Puberty. Reference Growth spurts Opens New Window and changing Reference hormone Opens New Window levels that occur during puberty make it difficult to keep a child's blood sugar level within a target range.
- Psychiatric conditions. Children with Reference depression Opens New Window, Reference anxiety disorder Opens New Window, Reference panic disorder Opens New Window, or Reference eating disorders Opens New Window are at increased risk for frequent high and low blood sugar levels.
Risk factors for these complications include:
- Persistent high blood sugar over time. The higher your child's blood sugar levels and the longer they remain high, the greater his or her risk of having complications in early adulthood.
- Length of time having the disease. The longer your child has diabetes, the more likely complications will develop, even if blood sugar levels are controlled.
- Having one of the complications. If one complication develops, your child is at risk for having others.
- Smoking, Reference high blood pressure Opens New Window, Reference high cholesterol Opens New Window, and a family history of diabetic complications.

Paid obituary
Stephen Boyette
Keysville, Ga.
Stephen Bryant Boyette, 56, of Keysville, Ga., passed away on Nov. 26, 2012, at his residence.
A memorial will be 2 p.m. Thursday at the Trinity United Methodist Church, the Rev. Mary Frances McClure officiating.

Yorkshire Torture
A surreal sight caught my attention on the final run-in of the Three Peaks 2010, the ridiculously hard cyclocross race for people who don't mind carrying bikes up mountains in Yorkshire.
I realise that any rider with serious intentions would have been chomping the bars, focused on the road ahead and squeezing out every drop of remaining energy after four gruelling hours in the saddle. (Come to think of it, the saddle was somewhere round my ears for half of that time.) But a string of five riders had just hammered past and, try as I might, there was absolutely no way of latching on the back. No gel could remedy the situation now. The legs were empty, the head gone.
Totally drained, facing one last road climb before the finish and wanting it all to end, my eyes drifted right to a guy walking – and occasionally running – on the verge, bike on his right shoulder, front wheel in the left hand.
Why shoulder the bike when you can push, I wondered, unless that front wheel was so hideously deformed it would no longer turn. Drawing level provided the answer: the wheel in his left hand was attached to forks. The forks, therefore, were no longer attached to the frame. The helter-skelter descent of Pen-y-ghent had claimed another casualty for its fearsome tally – not the first and certainly not the last.
Recollections of a photo from last year's Peaks came to mind: a rider walking dejectedly in the mist on (I think) Whernside, holding two halves of what minutes earlier had been a rather fetching – and whole – 'cross machine.
And a colleague who prepared thoroughly for his first attempt in 2009, only for his (porky) calf muscle to give way minutes after hitting the first climb of Ingleborough. Race over.
The Three Peaks will take your weaknesses and magnify them beyond belief. It will take the tiniest flaw in a piece of carbon and wreck a bike irreparably. Those hills are the wreckers of dreams and shatterers of ambition.
But, when you get it right… when you get it right, nothing comes close. Nothing.
Be prepared.

Tell the Wolves I'm Home
This Alex Award winning story is about June, an awkward, intelligent fourteen-year-old girl who adored her uncle Finn. The story is told from June's point of view. June is a loner who likes to walk in the woods and pretend she's living in the Middle Ages. The novel explores her relationships with Finn, her often difficult older sister, and Finn's boyfriend Toby whom she gets to know and secretly befriends after Finn dies of AIDS. I don't think I will ever forget this wonderfully unique novel. A friend told me it was the best book she read last year, and I wonder if I will discover one I like more this year. I kind of doubt it.

100 Best Books of All Time?
In 2002 one hundred authors from 54 countries were asked to name their top 10 works of fiction of all time. The result is this compilation of the 100 Best Books of All Time. I have read only 23 of these titles so I have some catching up to do. I was surprised to see Pippi Longstocking on this list but Norwegian Book Clubs came up with the idea to do the compilation so perhaps I shouldn't be too surprised. Take a look and see how many you have read (so far). By the way, if you click on the Print icon, you can see the 100 titles at one time.

Larry Watson at Ridgedale October 6th
Acclaimed author Larry Watson will speak at the Ridgedale Library on Saturday, October 6th at 1:00. I read and very much enjoyed two of his novels Montana, 1948 and his latest American Boy. Mr. Watson creates characters and stories that are impossible to forget. So begins David Hayden's story of what happened in Montana in 1948: "From the summer of my twelfth year I carry a series of images more vivid and lasting than any others of my boyhood and indelible beyond all attempts the years make to erase or fade them...."

The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey
I'm a big fan of Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins mysteries (most famously, Devil in a Blue Dress) and so I was nervous picking up a novel that is not one his Noir detective stories. But Mosley can tell just about any story and keep you engaged and he succeeds with The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey. Ptolemy Grey is 91, in the early stages of dementia and in need of settling some very important business. Enter seventeen year old Robyn, and young woman taken in by Ptolemy's extended family who enters into a helpful and challenging relationship with the old man. As always, Mosley's characters are incredibly interesting with all the flaws and beauties of real people. This is not a shoot 'em up edge-of-your-seat novel, but there is some shooting and you'll care enough for Ptolemy to remain on the edge of your seat till the last page. Another great one from a great African-American novelist.

Robertson Davies - Hooray Canada!
I finally found the time to read that most acclaimed novel by Canadian master Robertson Davies, 'Fifth Business'. It was a thoroughly engaging and deeply satisfying read. It is the story of the life of the narrator, Dunstan Ramsay, a retired school master who relates his experiences from early childhood to the present. We meet a host of wonderfully told characters engaged in any number of mild and intense encounters, and follow Dunstan's development as an insightful but conflicted man. All of the story lines – from small town gossip and meanness, to the terror of World War I, to the intricacies of the magician's craft, to unrequited love – draw you in with wonder and exquisite writing. I plan to read both sequels in this series, known as The Deptford Trilogy.

Nora Ephron
Nora Ephron died yesterday at age 71. I love her movies (When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and Julie & Julia) and her 1983 novel Heartburn is a personal favorite. Nora Ephron's wit made this story delightful even though it's based on Nora's marriage and divorce from Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein. She will be missed tremendously.

"A fictional biography whose subject in the beginning is a sixteen-year-old boy in the Elizabethan era and in the end -- three hundred years later -- is a thirty-six-year-old woman." Okay, so would you pick up a book based on this summary? I was actually intrigued by the summary of Orlando, especially by its being written by Virginia Woolf. This is a wonderfully fun novel and a wild ride through four centuries, exploring the roles of men and women at different eras and the social mores of those times. Woolf cleverly matches her prose style to the literary style of the period in which Orlando lives, creating always-changing moods and sheer delight for the reader. I have read that the novel is based in part on Woolf's life with her lover Vita Sackville-West, and that may be. But most of all, this book is just plain fun to read. A great introduction to an incredibly talented author.

As God Commands...
I've just now finished this book and want to write this before the experience subsides. One reviewer of As God Commands, the award-winning novel by Italian author Niccolo Ammaniti, said "If the Coen brothers ever wanted to go Italian, this'd be prime adaptation material." Indeed. This is a brutal, sometimes darkly humorous novel of three men and one man's son from the underside of society, bleeding anger and scheming on ways to make something of their lives. Ammaniti, also the author of the brilliant suspense novel I'm Not Scared, describes characters, places and circumstances with a sense of foreboding and reality that cannot be denied. I stopped halfway through, horrified by an event in the story, and decided to return it unread the following morning. But at the library I picked it up just to read to the end of that page and wound up ignoring my responsibilities and reading the whole damned book in one long sitting. For better or for worse, this is what a great book can do.

Not your average expats
Even though spy thrillers are not my cup of tea, I took a chance with The Expats by Chris Pavone. Kate Moore is a CIA agent and her husband Dexter does not know that little tidbit about his wife. Dexter, a banking security consultant, announces they must move to Luxembourg. Kate is happy to leave behind her undercover job and devote herself to their two young sons. However, she begins to suspiciously view their new friends in Luxembourg and soon she even questions her husband's actions. Kate investigates and the plot becomes more complicated. She enjoys being back in spy mode but things come to a feverish climax as Kate and Dexter manage so many deceptions. Do they even know each other? Pavone's debut novel is a very entertaining page-turner.

Chabon does it again!
The Yiddish Policemen's Union and The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay are two of my favorite novels by one of my favorite authors, Michael Chabon. My latest foray was into Gentlemen of the Road, a rollicking, old-style adventure that kept me both amused and engaged. I am blown away by Chabon's breadth of style and creativity. This novel reads like those childhood adventures (Arabian Nights, Adventures of Tin-Tin) you read late into the night with a flashlight. Travel with Zelikman, a cranky physician with a strange taste in hats, and ex-soldier Amram, a beast of a man responsible for most of the clever (often hilarious) quips, as they make their rootless way through the Caucasus Mountains, circa A.D. 950. Historical fiction? More like hysterical fiction!

Not an everyday book.
It's hard to believe that it's been 20 years since I read Gloria Naylor's wonderful novel, "The Women of Brewster Place." Now I've had the hard pleasure of reading an equally powerful story by an author deserving of more recognition, Stewart O'Nan . "Everyday People" is the story of an African-American neighborhood in Pittsburg, one that has lost its center and suffers the urban decay plaguing too many of our minority-intensive communities. The story follows the lives of a half dozen characters ranging from a wheelchair-bound graffiti artist to an elderly woman who's lost children to violence, to a young woman struggling to balance motherhood with college to an Italian ice-cream van driver who has served the neighborhood for decades. O'Nan has an uncanny ability to lend reality to the characters he invents. I missed them all for a week after finishing the book. The last line of this book, by the way, is one of the best I've read in years.

A homerun or just out in left field?
John Barron of the Chicago Sunday Sun-Times says of Chad Harbach's novel The Art of Fielding, "It's hard to figure who wouldn't take to this captivating, breezy debut... it has it all: love, the search for identity, redemption, a superbly drawn setting, engaging characters...and baseball." It's been compared to John Irving's The World According to Garp (which piqued my interest as Garp remains one of my all-time favorite novels). Ten years in the writing, The Art of Fielding brought Harbach a whopping $665,000 advance. It's a character-driven novel set at a fictional Wisconsin college. I loved the first half. Then Harbach lost his way and my interest waned. Where was this book going, I wondered? I wasn't emotionally engaged at its dramatic and tear-jerking ending. Tighter editing was sorely needed (the book goes on much too long at 512 pages). Harbach's talent is evident but I hope he finds a new editor.
