This collection of nine short stories by Flannery O'Connor was published posthumously in 1965. The flawed characters of each story are fully revealed in apocalyptic moments of conflict and violence that are presented with comic detachment.
The title story is a tragicomedy about social pride, racial bigotry, generational conflict, false liberalism, and filial dependence. The protagonist, Julian Chestny, is hypocritically disdainful of his mother's prejudices, but his smug selfishness is replaced with childish fear when she suffers a fatal stroke after being struck by a black woman she has insulted out of oblivious ignorance rather than malice.
Similarly, "The Comforts of Home" is about an intellectual son with an Oedipus complex. Driven by the voice of his dead father, the son accidentally kills his sentimental mother in an attempt to murder a harlot.
The other stories are "A View of the Woods", "Parker's Back", "The Enduring Chill", "Greenleaf", "The Lame Shall Enter First", "Revelation", and "Judgment Day".
Flannery O'Connor was working on Everything That Rises Must Converge at the time of her death. This collection is an exquisite legacy from a genius of the American short story, in which she scrutinizes territory familiar to her readers: race, faith, and morality. The stories encompass the comic and the tragic, the beautiful and the grotesque; each carries her highly individual stamp and could have been written by no one else.
©1956 1957, 1958, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1964, 1965; renewed 1993 by the Estate of Mary Flannery O'Connor (P)2010 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"The current volume of posthumous stories is the work of a master, a writer's writer—but a reader's too—an incomparable craftsman who wrote, let it be said, some of the finest stories in our language." (Newsweek)
"All in all they comprise the best collection of shorter fiction to have been published in America during the past twenty years." (Book Week)
"When I read Flannery O'Connor, I do not think of Hemingway, or Katherine Anne Porter, or Sartre, but rather of someone like Sophocles. What more can you say for a writer? I write her name with honor, for all the truth and all the craft with which she shows man's fall and his dishonor." (Thomas Merton)

"A Painful Grace, A Search for the Holy"
Nice Catholic ladies aren't supposed to demolish you like this. O'Connor was born to be a literary knife fighter. Page after page, with zero sentimentality, O'Connor rips the grotesque out of her characters and with a bareknuckle, Christian realism absolutely dares you to turn the page. Hers is a painful grace, a search for the holy in the swamps of the Southern absurd. The brilliant thing about O'Connor is by telling her stories of divine grace among the heretics and the horrors, the reader might easily miss the divine spark in the grotesque and absurd darkness.
"The Enduring Chill"
I love Flannery O' Connor and I can't state this enough for all my reviews for the O' Connor audible collection. This was the first book (a collection of stories) that I read by her years ago - and I enjoyed revisiting these stories immensely. Some of the stories, upon hearing them, came flooding back to me. Some of them I did not remember as well. Stories that did not leave much of an impression on me before, left a huge impression on me this time around (esp. The Enduring Chill).
These stories are not for the faint of heart. These stories also have many levels of meaning - and I know that these are stories that I will get something different from each time I read or listen to them.
The narration of these stories, for the most part, is excellent. I fell in love with Bronson Pinchot's and Lorna Raver's voices. Listening to Karen White was like visiting an old friend as she is the narrator of The Little Friend, another book I enjoyed.
Question yourself no longer. This book is worth a credit.
"Classic Flannery O'Conner - a glimpse backwards"
Typical of O'Conner, these short stories are down to earth and not cheerful little things. As a matter of fact most of them are downright downers! But they hold your attention. I kept wanting to "rescue" the characters and fix things for them but O'Conner lets them walk unwaveringly to their dooms. These stories take place in the old south and there is plenty of bigotry and poverty. There are many social stratuses and these characters tend to be toward the bottom of the social ladder but always looking down on those below them and being so grateful they are better. It would be funny except that it is so true to life and so heartbreaking. I grew up in the deep South in the 40s and 50s and know that these characters ring true.
I liked some of the readers better than others but didn't find any were great.
From Austen to zombies!
"Beautiful stories, beautifully read"
Flannery O'Connor was what one of her own characters might call "an intellectual," yet due to her health (she suffered from lupus), she lived on a farm in the country with her mother. This collection is in my opinion her best, because the stories draw directly from that struggle while taking on dozens of other issues such as racial and social equality, gender equality, faith, and mother/child dynamics.
My favorite story here is "The Lame Shall Enter First," a sly, dry, and ultimately revealing view of what O'Connor believed Jesus had in mind for all His followers. The rest show the world from the perspective of the postwar American South: the old ways still fighting the new. As one character says early on, "...the bottom rail is on the top," and few seem happy about it.
The resulting gloom could have made these stories depressing, but they're much too funny for that. O'Connor's particular gift was dialogue, a lot of which is still laugh-out-loud hilarious, even when you've read every story multiple times before.
The narrators here do a fabulous job. Nobody overdoes it on the Southern accents, and the audio quality is great. Flannery O'Connor's work is a national treasure--every American book-lover should experience these stories, and this edition is the perfect way to go.
"Better than reading"
Each short story is memorable. I have read nothing like them before.
I did not like any of the characters but I was made to feel for them just the same. I suppose old Tanner in Judgement Day will be most memorable, or Mary Fortune in A View from the Woods.
I have tried to read O'Connor but just did not get it. These narrators brought the stories to life. Their interpretations are brilliant.
This is great writing but magnificent performances. I was never bored.
Something New
"Intensive and Introspective"
I enjoyed the characterizations. I have attempted to read Flannery O'Conner and I have to say it can be tough. However, when it is dramatized, I get a better understanding. I don't hear everything in my voice, but a multitude of characters. The stories are very dark and foreboding but will keep you listening until the end.
As stated earlier, the characterization make these stories so interesting. Each narrator placed their own spin on the characters and made them come to life. Without their characterization, reading independently would have been tough and I probably would not have finished it. As a matter of fact, I purchased the audio version of Wise Blood because I could not get through the novel.
My only word of caution is the

"GREAT Collection of Superbly Delivered Stories"
This is another one that somehow escaped my reading drag net. Only slightly dated, the raw racism will both turn your stomach and illuminate your mind on the twisted of people you probably know.
The Lame Shall Enter First is as perfect today as it was when written --- 50 years ago.

Yes if the friend liked unhappy southern tales with a tragic twist.
Characterizations in each of the short stories.
Very well done.

"Stories Amazing; Readers Worthy of the Material"
This was possibly the best audiobook experience I've ever had with fiction. Each of the readers did a wonderful job with voices and with the "voice" of these stories, which are among the greatest (and funniest) in the American canon. As soon as I finished, I started over at the beginning and started listening to the first stories again.

This album by Papon is a must buy for all Papon da's fan's and non fans too coz after listening to this album "Papon" will be added to ur fan list.....Such melancholic tracks with a folk and Indian touch....
way to go....all the best..
Bhavle jharne and Boitha maro's Eastern sound is beautifully enhanced by the tasteful inclusion of modern sounds, particularly in the latter. Barish ke boondein and Din guzrein play out like gorgeous ghazals, in Papon's expressive voice, while Chhoti chhoti's lazy tune and guitar strums are endearing. Duur and Jonaaki raati are fabulously trippy, the latter, sound-wise and the former, in every way! Kyon hota and Main chalta are the album's most catchy and filmy, even as Aankhee explores Papon's range in interesting psychedelic pop. But for its lyrics, Keep rolling is wonderfully sing-along'ish. Long overdue and fitting debut by Papon!
Excellent work. That is what i call music. Just sails the mind in with the cool waves of the river. I like it best when I put off the light and be alone in my room and relax flat on the couch. This way i can listen to each and every strings played and music created. This album is not only songs, i enjoy each and every notes. It is an unbelievable creation.
I think to create this type of music, needs extreme passion for music looking at today's trend. As this album is not fit for vulgar dance after drinking.
This is only for those who wants peace of mind and wants to add a gem in his treasure collection. Simply wonderful.
Angaraag Mahanta's songs carry a unique personal touch, and makes one feel at home always. Very few singers today carry such promise as him to not only entertain people, with his soulful renditions accompanied by lilting tunes, but also promote the culture and traditions of the people of India's Northeast in a very bold way. This album is a must for all music lovers. It is both local as well as global. May God bless you Papon da!
i have been following Papon since i saw him live at the NH7 concert in pune. Barish Ki Boondein, Din Guzre, Aankhee are the standout songs in the album.
I would have loved to see the "duma dum mast kalandar"- Papon's version which i heard him sing live.

Nilea Alexander is a designer getting major buzz in New York. A graduate of the Parsons School for Design she created her first collection in 2004, runs a vintage booth at the Brooklyn Flea Market called NileA P FleA, and has done freelance design work for Urban Outfitters.
She was recently featured as "Girl of the Month" on Urban Outfitters' blog and just finished her newest collection, Underground Love Story, which she described in her UO interview as "a dark and romantic line of clothing inspired by my personal vintage collection."
Nilea's work has been covered by Daily Candy, Women's Wear Daily, Daily News, and Metro News and last month's cover of Ready-Made magazine featured Underground Love Story.
BGLH: First a little background: Where are you from?
NA: I am originally from Atlanta GA. I moved to New York in 2002 soon after I finished college at Georgia State and currently live in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
BGLH: So about the infamous Urban Outfitters interview... How did you get hooked up with that?
NA: I have done freelance artist design projects for Urban Outfitters in the past and they carried one of my collections a few years ago. I was excited to be chosen for their "Girl of the Month" blog interview.
BGLH: The Urban Outfitters interview raised your profile in the blogosphere. Were you expecting that?
NA: Not really to be honest. I know that Urban Outfitters Blog is huge and that they have a lot of readers but I never really expected for other bloggers to contact me from that article.
BGLH: Tell me about your designing! How did you get started and where are you at right now?
NA: I have been designing for well over 10 years now. I started in high school home economics class in which I learned how to sew and then began making prom and cocktail dresses for friends.
When I moved to New York and enrolled in a design program at Parsons I started designing lingerie. A few years later with a friend I was designing a remade vintage line that was eventually picked up by Urban Outfitters. Now I currently design my solo collection Underground Love Story.
BGLH: How would you describe your design aesthetic? And what inspired it?
NA: My current collection is called Underground Love Story, a dark and romantic collection, inspired by the turn of the century Victorian era. Ultra feminine with big sleeves, bows, and ruffles the pieces are whimsical and made to inspire that feeling.
BGLH: Where are your clothes sold?
NA: The website for the collection is www.undergroundlovestory.com. Currently the pieces from the lookbook are only sold wholesale. We are currently building a online retail webstore so that pieces can be sold individually. I am very excited about that and am planning a big launch for new store.
BGLH: When did you go natural and why?
NA: My hair has been natural since college and I just never went back. Its no big story actually, I had damaged it so much from over-processing that I really had no choice but to chop if off. It's just easier this way.
BGLH: How do you normally wear your hair?
NA: I change it up from time to time between an afro and a short box shape. I always keep the blond bleach stripe no matter what. I have had it for so long now I can not imagine myself without it.
BGLH: Where did you get the idea for the stripe?
NA: Gosh I really don't remember i feel like it just morphed into this. It started out as a dark brown patch..nothing special and then I lightened it to a dark honey blonde, then I lightened it again to a light blonde, and voila I started to bleach it.
BGLH: What do you like best about being natural?
NA: It's easy and it's the hair that God gave me. I think that the blond patch has become a refection of me because it is how people have come to recognize me. I like that!
Thank you Nilea! You, your hair and your designs are awesome!
You can find Nilea's line here; http://www.undergroundlovestory.com/.
Her blog here; http://www.undergroundlovestory.blogspot.com/.
Her flea market booth here; http://www.myspace.com/nileapvintage
Also, Nilea will be doing a flea market this Sunday Oct 11th at Bembe in Williamsburg Brooklyn from 3 - 8 selling remade vintage pieces. Be sure to check it out! Tell her BGLH sent you ;)

I wanted to freshen things up and simplify the look, in hopes that it will make things more convenient for you as you're reading or searching Sew Much Ado. I have to say a huge thanks to Kim over at 733 for help fixing the layout issues that I created through my own redesign attempts, hehe. I'm sure she had plenty of things to roll her eyes about, but she was so nice and quick to work with. She also took the social media icons that I designed and apparently read my mind to tweak them just how I would have wanted. They're now up by the header and hopefully easier for you to access.
There are a few more small changes that I'll eventually make, but for now I'm happy to have things cleaned up a bit - doesn't a blog redesign almost feel like redecorating a room? There's something so nice about a fresh start, even in the online world!

Senator Murkowski Files Bill to Change McKinley's Name to DenaliAlaskans have called North America's highest peak Denali for centuriesANCHORAGE - Alaska Mountaineering and Hiking sees hundreds of climbers every year as they prepare to take on North America's largest mountain. Store owner Paul Denkewalter said what people call it depends on where they're from. "Most climbers call it Denali. There are some climbers, European climbers and climbers from overseas who will call it McKinley because of what's written in books," said Denkewalter. A gold prospector named the mountain back in 1896 in honor of then soon-to-be president William McKinley, even though Alaska Natives had referred to it as "Denali" for centuries. That's why Senator Lisa Murkowski has reintroduced a bill to call it by its Athabascan name once and for all. "We just call it Denali," Murkowski said about her fellow Alaskans. "That's what we've always called it. Denali is an Alaska Native word, an Athabascan word, and it means 'the high one.' And when you think about this incredible mountain, you think it's pretty appropriately named." Alaskans approve of the name change. "I think it's great. I don't think President McKinley will turn over in his grave," said Denali Parks resident Jeffery Shelton. Not everyone is on board, however. President McKinley was from Ohio and lawmakers there want to keep his name on the Alaska attraction. "Mount McKinley has borne the name of our 25th president for over 100 years," said Congressman Tim Ryan. "We must retain this national landmark's name in order to honor the legacy of this great American president and patriot." Alaskans say Ohio needs to butt out of the Last Frontier's business. "I think it's a big joke. I don't think anyone from Ohio should have any say in Alaska," said Shelton. "To name peaks after people is kind of a short term thing because times change, people change, we don't even remember who the person is we named the mountain after. Naming it Denali could be an eternal name, one that will last forever," said Denkewalter. Senator Murkowski's office said this will bill likely get lumped in with a larger set like interior appropriations or a land bill before it would head to the Senate floor. They're hoping for a vote sometime within the next year. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Friday, Feb 1 at 10:04 PM Something for Lisa Murkowski to considered before wasting our taxpayer money on stupid name changing. Mount St. Elias.....named after some saint. Mount Foraker.......named after some senator from Ohio Mount Bona..........named after a yacht Mount Blackburn.....named after senator from KY Mount Sanford.......named after non-Alaskan family Mount Fairweather...named by Capt Cook because it was fairweather that day. Mount Hubbard......named after president of National Geographic Society All these names represent Alaska's highest peaks after McKinley, named after people not directly associated with Alaska and they got some sort of native names. Murkowski's effort reeked of hypocrisy. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Feb 1 at 9:42 AM Rachel, just remember that Mount McKinley belong to the people of the United States and not just to the people of Alaska. You are an American are you not? Great things happened to Alaska during President McKinley's administration as our President. Basic foundation of Alaska territory was laid. Of course, if you are native, you can say the opposite since McKinley era began the "whitening of Alaska" so to speak as more whites then ever before move into Alaska thanks to the gold rushes. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Thursday, Jan 31 at 1:54 PM Great idea! It should be named Denali, as it always has been. Pres. McKinley had nothing to do with Alaska or the mountain and it's time to change it to the true name. Go, Sen. Murkowski! Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Jan 30 at 5:17 PM We are lucky to have people like Lisa working on things like this instead wasting time on things like the economy, budgets, social security. What a good thing that she was voted in, oh and the pork. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Jan 30 at 4:54 PM This is insane. It would cost millions of dollars if this bill passes. it seems inocuous - but - imagine the cost to change state literature, text books, maps, promotional literature for State. Some businesses are named with the Mt McKinley moniker. Now imagine most of these costs not only applying to Alaska, but also to the books, and map changes that would affect the whole country. Totally unnecessary. Most everyone nationally knows that Denali is synomous to Mt McKinley. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Jan 30 at 10:30 AM This is just like weinergate. Distract the idiotic masses from the real issues at. No one cares, no one will care. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Jan 30 at 12:31 AM I'm going to start calling it "that mountain thingy that has always been" And after Lisa slides it into some useless feel good bill that all the trash in Washington will vote "yes" on, I'll be like "good job Lisa" NOT. Lisa's legacy, Do nothing and rename a hill of dirt that kills people, like most of her votes. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Jan 30 at 12:01 AM That should read "112 years"....not 1120 years! Inappropriate?

- Yahoo Lifestyle - Reinventing Delhi's food tourism
Everyone wants their spouse to share a common interest with them. Understand their love for their passion and support their dream. But it's indeed a match made in heaven when a couple is so in love with food and everything around it, as much as, they are with each other.
- Walking, Tasting
This is a personalised tour. Guests are asked beforehand about their food allergies and preferences," says Kalra. "They are picked up from their hotel and taken to different eateries across the city. We also organise a tea-tasting ceremony under the guidance of professional tea taster.

- Article in the Association of British Travel Agents Newsletter by Olivia Greenway
Appam, rice crepes and parathaBy now I was feeling quite stuffed, but Prashant pressed on and we entered a busy sit-down restaurant typical of the Punjab, with 'butter chicken' being the equivalent of our homegrown chicken tikka masala.
- Telerama.fr covers DFT
Prashant, 27 years young boss of Delhi Food Tour - a circuit to discover the secrets eateries in the city, highly recommended experience - meanwhile believes that "contrary to what activists say supermarkets the prices are not necessarily lower in a hypermarket. The vast majority of small businesses working with margins ridiculous.
- The Asian Age
Talking about Indian culinary tours, Prashanth Kalra, owner of Delhi Food Tours, says, "DFT was born on account of my genetic obsession with food. I wanted to give foreign guests a way to see Delhi through the eyes and taste buds of a local."So how does a guide help? "A culinary tour guide keeps in mind allergies, spice sensitivity and dishes that people have always wanted to try. We don't do 'one size fits all' tours. We tweak each tour as per the requirement of our guests and we guarantee one guide for every four people. If a guest is gluten intolerant, we change the tour accordingly. If there are allergies that we cannot cater to (such as nuts), we then decline tours."
- Goshtraita - New Delhi Food tour
Foodies. They are a certain breed of person, driven to extract the tastiest treats out of any locale. They travel primarily for the experience of food and local beverages, and are known to swoon in rapture at discovering a new delight, and instantly bore everyone they know with tales of its deliciousness.
- Article in Times of India
Prashant - " Most of our guests come to India with a fear of Indian food despite their overwhelming desire to try it. The desire is stronger with places like delhi which has a legendary food culture.
- The taste of Delhi - Article on mylaw.net
"Our interaction with our guests starts way before they come to Delhi and we try and gauge their preferences, sensitivities, and allergies to food. We personally take them out and show them a good time. More often than not, my wife and I conduct tours jointly. What that means is that someone is getting a customised tour based on his likes and preferences, and secondly, you have well-travelled, educated professionals who are taking you out and showing you a part of Delhi that is part of mainstream Delhi culture."
- Media Voice Magazine
That was when she contacted Prashant Kalra at Delhi Food Tour. According to Melanie, DFT, despite having started only in November 2011, scored over the other options in Delhi.It promised to be a unique experience personally supervised by a well-travelled food guide showing them the best eating spots in town, picking only the cleanest and safest places to eat without any compromise on taste. After all, travellers today want more than the usual, overpriced 5 star restaurant experience.
- Article in First City
It started off as something I would do for my close friends when they would visit Delhi to educate them that Indian food goes way beyond Chicken Tikka Masala.

One of our well-respected business bloggers, Scott Messinger, indicates in his articles that starting up a business is no child's play. He mentioned that if you want to have more time with your family through your startup business, you should think again. From my experience, Scott's advice is something that you should look up to.
Most people start their first company while they still have a day job. It makes sense: You don't need loans. You don't need funding. And if you "fail," all you've lost is time.
But you've also placed yourself in a hazardous – potentially legally ambiguous – situation. If managed improperly, you're unnecessarily risking lawsuits and worse.
This entrepreneur and strategic coach presents two case studies, from her entrepreneur client base, which approach compensating "A" players in very different ways. Both had the same goal though--keep them on the team.

I think your legs look awesome! i actually have like you said in my journal a very simliar body type i think to you Lynne. When i am thinner, not now as obese person.
Some girls in college once called me popeye legs. It bothered me somewhat. Me and my sister has a simliar body type as well and she has always been very self conscious about it. So i definitely know where you are coming from.

It's one day at a time for me. I'm happy to be where I am physically, and know that I have to a ways to go to reach my goal - but I'm not trying to get there to please anybody else - just me. Some days are harder than others......this was one of those days. My 1/2 marathon is 2 weeks away and I'm stressing a little over it.
it's funny because negative statements really do stick in your mind! Why people like to say things insensitive comments i don't know. You are doing great physcially. You are staying on track and you are a beautiful example of a "almost 50 year old" Lynne. You are younger than your years. You are not giving yourself enough credit at all!!!! Honestly my mom could never have done what you do every day at 50 or even younger. You are exactly right this is your journey not meeting someone else's expectations of what they think a runner should look like! which is so annoying in itself. Don't be down Lynne! Look at what you do you have which is not only a loving beautiful family, but a healthy mind and body!! You can't ask for more.
Like my mom is always telling me be the best that you can be but not some image of somone that doesn't even represent the essence of who you are! You are going to kill it at the half marathon in two weeks be PROUD of who you are Lynne and what you have accomplished and what your goals are for the future!! I'm proud to know you i know that.

The Luhya believed that the outcome of an undertaking or important event that will happen in the near future could be foretold by omens or portents. These omens are either auspicious and inspire confidence in the person or persons engaged in the activity or inauspicious and serve as a warning to either abandon the activity or take precautionary measures to ward off evil forces. Omens are, however, distinct from oracles which are consulted to find out the causes of events that have already happened or are in the process of happening. They are never made to happen by man as a result of ritual manipulation but occur on their own account. The following are some of the common presages:
In Luhya tradition, the sighting of a night owl signals that the death of a family member is imminent.
While among the Maragoli, it is considered lucky if one meets a small antelope while going on an important journey.

Gov. Paul LePage yesterday signed a bill that aims to reduce liability for agricultural operations that host activities for the public. The measure could help bring insurance relief to farmers, beekeepers, sugar house operators and others who hold agritourism activities.
LD 1605, "An Act to Promote Agricultural Activity in Maine by Limiting the Liability for Agritourism Activities," provides limited liability protection for landowners who post signs stating that visitors accept the inherent risks of the activity, according to a press release from the House Republican Office. The bill is similar to statutes in place for skiing and horseback riding, and 23 other states have enacted laws to address agritourism.
According to bill sponsor Rep. Aaron Libby, R-Waterboro, the law provides farmers "with assurance that they have some protection from a major lawsuit due to a farm-related accident." It will help reduce claims, decrease their premiums and make more insurance options available.
He also said many farmers don't know they need additional insurance to cover agritourism events. "Most farm and ranch insurance policies are intended to cover risks associated with everyday farming exposure," he said in the release.
Agritourism accounts for 50% of income for small farms that make $50,000 to $249,000 a year, according to data from LePage's office. A survey of farms found that nearly 25% participated in various agricultural promotional events, including Maine's Open Farm Day, Maine Maple Sunday and the Great Maine Apple Day.

The ultimate fighter
8 May 2008
Three years ago, Gerhard Vosloo's troubled life simply couldn't get any worse. SA Rugby magazine visited the Castres flanker to find out how a move to France helped him turn things around.
'You know what I love about this?' Gerhard Vosloo asks, pointing to his 50-inch flat screen playing a rerun of an Ultimate Fighting Championships pay-per-view event in Las Vegas. 'I love the fact that the guys can take a beating, but the ones with skill and heart always manage to come out on top.'
Vosloo is completely taken with the sport that pits two men, usually with varying fighting styles, in a brutal battle. There are no blood stoppages, as I'd find out when one of his favourites struggles through two rounds with blood flowing from a deep cut on his forehead and into his eyes, blinding him.
'He'll still win, though. He's fuckin' tough and always bounces back,' Vosloo predicts confidently. Two rounds later, he does. By the end of our chat at his home in Castres, it's clear that the fight is a metaphor for his life.
US senator John McCain dubbed ultimate fighting 'human cockfighting'. This is perhaps an apt description, although over the years strict rules have been enforced, barring sadistic manoeuvres such as 'fish hooking' (the act of inserting fingers into the mouth, nostrils or other orifices of the opponent with the intention of pulling and tearing the surrounding tissue) and 'rabbit punching' (a punch to the neck or to the base of the skull that is intended to damage the cervical vertebrae and subsequently the spinal cord, and may lead to serious spinal-cord injury and even death).
Vosloo knows all the fighters in meticulous detail – their strengths and weaknesses, their history. It's the latter that is most appealing to him. The majority of the men have fascinating life stories, marked by personal turmoil and desperately rotten luck. Vosloo can relate to this. A carefree child became a troubled man-child who teetered perilously close to falling off the edge. Life's dealt him its fair share of fish hooks and rabbit punches.
He was raised in a middle-class family by Gerhard senior – an entrepreneur who made his bread from owning a furniture-manufacturing company – and mother Engela, a housewife.
The family lived quite comfortably, but Vosloo was never one for handouts. With an uncompromising work ethic and self-sufficiency, values he inherited from his father, Vosloo made his own way after high school, with rugby a secondary interest to bouncing at nightclubs. At night he would eject overzealous partygoers from clubs around Hatfield in Pretoria. His days were spent at the gym, torturing his body until he eventually reached his genetic ceiling at 130kg.
Bouncing syndicates have a reputation for being owned by some of society's less amiable characters, as well as for providing the platform for overly aggressive men to physically express their frustrations with little fear of sanction. The combination was a deadly cocktail for Vosloo, who quickly morphed into a man he hardly recognised.
'I don't know how I became that guy. He was someone I really didn't like but somehow couldn't get rid of,' he says.
Vosloo refuses to get into details about his past – 'Let's not go there' – but concedes he caused his father immense heartache and stress at the time.
Vosloo and his father enjoyed a close bond until his teenage years. Gerhard enrolled his five-year-old son in a wrestling school, and for 11 years they trained together. Five o'clock wake-up calls were commonplace for Gerhard, who would drive from the family home in Ballito to competitions around the country, where he'd watch his son win more than he'd lose. But that relationship took a battering as Gerhard junior's demeanour became more fractious. Their relationship degenerated progressively until all that remained was a disillusioned father and a prodigal son.
'My lifestyle drove a wedge between me and my dad,' Vosloo says remorsefully. 'I never wanted that to happen, but I understand why it did. But my dad never gave up on me when it would have been easier to. I always knew he was there if I needed him. So one day I called him and said, "Can you help me?" He never hesitated.'
Vosloo was shipped off to Wales to visit a friend in the hope that his magnetic attraction to trouble would wane. It didn't.
'Feeling bit ill,' read the text message from 22-year-old Landi Muller, a graceful brunette with an endearing nature who Vosloo had met on matric holiday. A day later, a 21-year-old Vosloo found out he was to be a father. Rabbit punch.
'It felt like my world had fallen apart,' he recalls. 'We were both young with no money and, I thought, no future. I couldn't even call Landi back because the £10 I had in my pocket was for food for the week. I always knew I could play rugby, though, even though I hadn't played seriously since high school. So that became my banker. I started to play more out of desperation than anything else.'
Welsh third-division side Harlequins gave Vosloo an opportunity to make some cash for nappies and milk formula. And the club would also provide the opportunity for him to earn what he thought was a respite from his troubles.
Harlequins played Swansea who were coached by John Plumtree, the current Sharks forwards mentor. The New Zealander was so impressed by the all-action blond openside flanker that he drafted him into his 30-man squad. Vosloo saw it as his chance to pick up the pieces, but the blows just kept coming. He couldn't get a work visa, so he was forced to return to South Africa.
'That was heartbreaking because I thought it would be a way to get my life back on track. I'd be able to provide for my family. When they told me my visa application had been denied it, was like someone had stabbed me in the heart.' Fish hook.
A human being's ability to cope with mental anguish depends largely on the individual's personality type. Vosloo is as tough as they come, although he was fast reaching his threshold.
Landi's mom's converted wine cellar became home. It was hardly squalor, with mismatched furniture and basic appliances cramped into a 4m x 5m space, but it was certainly no place to raise their newborn daughter, Lara.
'We had nothing, but I didn't want to work for my father. That would have been the easy way out,' he says. 'So I did a computer course and started a little company afterwards that kept us alive.'
Rugby was still an option for Vosloo, but nothing suggested that he could make the grade as a professional. He had played second-team rugby at an average school, never smelt a Craven Week side and had turned out only sporadically since school. But he had a natural affinity for the game and needed very little match time before he was operating at full tilt.
Vosloo joined up with Pretoria Harlequins, where he'd regularly spend hours after practice doing hill runs and skill drills, often getting home only at 10pm. 'I just needed a foot in the door, someone to give me a chance.'
The Blue Bulls Merit A squad was a good start, but their Super 12 side had no use for a specialist fetcher, and the Mpumalanga Pumas bagged him. Outstanding performances there put Vosloo on the Golden Lions' radar, and his desperation made the move a no-brainer.
'I really enjoyed my time at the Lions, but I don't think I was given a fair crack there,' he says, reflecting on his short career in Johannesburg. 'The best guys didn't always play, and I felt like a second-class citizen most of the time. I wasn't just happy to have a good contract after all the stuff I went through. I wanted to make a big contribution, which I was never given a real opportunity to do. I completely lost my desire to train and play. At that stage I'd often say to Landi, "Look, I'm packing it in and going to get a normal day job."'
Then it all changed. French and English clubs who had been tracking his progress for some time made their approaches. But only Castres coach Laurent Seigne made a lasting impression on Vosloo. 'I definitely needed a change, and the fact that they seemed desperate for me to move to Castres was flattering. I felt more needed and appreciated than I ever did at home, and still do.'
A year and a half into his Castres contract, Vosloo's life has undergone a dramatic reconstruction, both on and off the field.'Vosloo!' a group of teenage boys cry out as we stroll through the cobbled streets of Castres.
He greets the group in rapidly improving French. Their reaction suggests God has just whispered his divine plan for their lives in their ear. Later that evening the manager of a local pizzeria gives him the friendly 'your money's no good here' brushoff. When Vosloo takes Lara and their son Gerhard III to school, parents and teachers keen for a chat results in his taking at least 45 minutes to get from the school's front door back to his car.
Vosloo is revered in Castres, and his fame can largely be attributed to his injury-time turnover in the last match of the 2006-07 season that kept Castres in the Top 14.
His home is chic and boasts a scaled-down cinema on the third floor. African masks decorate the lounge walls and oversized couches provide the scene for Vosloo to laze around in his free time, which is often spent trying to master Assassin's Creed and Fifa 08 on his PlayStation 3. But if you were looking for a clear, albeit material, indication of how far Vosloo has progressed since his wine-cellar days, it's found in his garage. A silver Porsche Cayenne S. It's impossibly impractical, given the labyrinth of narrow streets in Castres. But, good Lord, is it exquisite.
'In South Africa you have to be a brain surgeon to afford this car,' he says. 'Here, I saw it and bought it. Simple as that. It's not a huge issue for me because I can afford it.
'That's not arrogance,' he counters when I suggest that some would perceive him to be windgat. 'I've been through a hell of a lot and I'm proud of the fact that I can provide for my family and still treat myself. I'm not going to make excuses for being able to do that. I've worked damn hard for what I've got.'
Vosloo is slumped back in the couch, relaxed and speaking openly about life in France. The velvety red fabric of the couch provides great camouflage for his flash red sneakers. His Armani watch reads 10.30pm. It's time to get down to the business end of our chat.
Talk of Vosloo playing for France is not a tabloid construct. It's a reality.
The French press have lauded his performances, and most journalists believe he is the finest openside flank in the Top 14. Last year he held informal talks with then France coach Bernard Laporte, who enquired about his interest in playing for France. Journalists have called to ask if he has any French ancestry, or whether he'd consider applying for residency, which would allow him to bypass the three-year waiting period for qualification.
'If you can't be a pilot because of circumstances, then go for the next best option, maybe an aeronautical engineer,' Vosloo says. The question was begging to be asked: 'So, do you want to be a pilot?'
'Look, if in a year and a half I'm sitting in the Stade de France dressing room about to pull a France shirt over my head, there's obviously going to be sadness,' he says. 'I want to play for the Boks, but I'm realistic enough to know that there are some really good players ahead in the queue back home.
'That said, I won't see France as a consolation prize at all. It would be an honour to play for them. I want success in my career, and to play Test rugby would be the pinnacle. If that goal has to be achieved with a blue shirt on instead of a green and gold one, then that's the way it has to be.'
Vosloo recently signed a multimillion-euro deal with Brive, who beat off the challenges of Perpignan, Biarritz and Clermont among others. The deal is said to rival what Toulon are paying their elite players, which speaks volumes about the high regard in which Vosloo is held.
His journey thus far has been a remarkable one. Brive is a far cry from bouncing in Hatfield or from Wales' third division. He wouldn't have envisaged ending up there when he lay awake in the converted wine cellar, wondering where his next rabbit punch or fish hook was coming from. The man who was on the canvas more times than he'd care to remember has defied the odds. Where most would have stayed down after just one of the debilitating blows he's received, Vosloo stood up time and time again. Ladies and gentleman, introducing the ultimate fighter …

8 May 2008, 13:49 pmwho is this C grade player again?
8 May 2008, 13:56 pmGreat story keo !
Hats off to Mr Vosloo, what a boytjie ! -
8 May 2008, 13:57 pmGerhard, good for you bud! The honest truth is; most of our university/club players over here could make some big bucks by playing for European clubs. Look at Roland De Marigny. He didn't get a sniff at Sharks (Banana Boys back then) selection, but he went on to captain the Italian National team.
The skills pool is chalk and cheese between SA and Europe. In fact, I'd go as far as saying we have the biggest pool to select a national team from in all the world. And yes, that's including those Ozzie Rule-playing, league-loving convicts!!
SA Rugby, fantastic design on this article! Really!!
8 May 2008, 14:15 pmI agree that Gerhard wasn't given the game time he deserved at the Lions. When he was given the opportunity, he invariably played a blinder. But too often he was given 15 minutes at the end to make his mark. Glad to see he's turned things round.
8 May 2008, 15:01 pmUFC RULZ… I have the entire collection from the early days pre Zuffa 1-83 and all the Ultimate Fighter series'…
8 May 2008, 15:03 pmCRAZY-Shark
May 8th, 2008 at 1:57 pmEngland have the largest pool of players, then SA, Aus has one of the very smallest.
8 May 2008, 15:10 pmInteresting read and good on you Gerard Vosloo for making a few bucks playing rugga in France.
But talk of all these "debilitating blows" that he has faced sounds like a load of bollocks to me. From the article the biggest obstacles he had to overcome was banging his girfriend up and then being denied a work visa.
8 May 2008, 15:19 pmoh yawn ***
boo hoo…. if all he has had to worry about is not getting his working visa in the UK, the big deal..
there's far more people facing far harder challengers in life to be impressed by this story..on the rugby issue – i do remember him as making a big impression on me the few times he did play for the Lions, I remember thinking that he defnitely had the goods to go far. then he just disappeared…
seems like yet more talent the Lions let go,….. or chased away rather. -
8 May 2008, 15:24 pmI'm in agreement with Jonnow and Stephen – hardly sounds to me like the stuff of major struggle and strife.
But good on him for doing well in French rugby.
8 May 2008, 15:43 pmGreat story. He should be proud. But details of struggles won't make any top 25. I believe a guy like Werner Greeff have had to endure a lot more. When death of loved ones, siblings etc don't feature, don't even tell the story.
8 May 2008, 15:44 pmNice article to read, could we have more like this?
8 May 2008, 16:12 pmThere is some stuff he had to overcome left unsaid. Sa Bouncing = violence and hard drugs often at the same time. Use your imagination.
8 May 2008, 16:54 pmThe interesting thing is the 'surprise' experienced by his father in his behaviour as a teenager. The man encourages his son in a violent sport and then wonders why the kid is into fighting and has a tendency towards aggression. Like most of us he had a few setbacks and to his credit, he seems to have finally overcome his adversity – some of which appears to have been a result of his own folly. Essentially, his aggression has been channelled into rugby and he has avoided a life as an underdog. Another famous Frenchman has a similar story; Gerard Depardieu, who says that his pursuit of Acting as a career saved him. He famously said that had he not discovered Acting, he woud almost certainly have become a criminal. Given his resemblance to Depardieu one wonders whether Sebastian Chabal may have potential as a filmstar when he has finished scaring other rugby teams. And Vosloo resembles Schalk Burger enough that he could easily sub for him or play his character in a movie.
8 May 2008, 17:28 pmi really liked this chap in his few games for the vaal…
what a boytjie though… if my dearest sharks have any of their wits about they would sign Gerhard immediately! hard as they come!
8 May 2008, 20:09 pmBesides the pure toss story of a big tough rich kid having a 'hard life', which is pure false hype., Vosloo was moerse goed here already, and only god knows why they did not keep him.
Vosloo is not just another saffa doing well abroad. This is the next pieter DeVilliers of recently retiered France fame.
8 May 2008, 21:44 pmGreat story! Hope to see this guy playing for Les Bleus this year…
8 May 2008, 23:10 pmInteresting that he says "the best players don't always play" at the Lions. Perhaps this tjommie-tjommie braai-buddy starting positions for teachers pets is at the heart of the problem there. I know it was like that at my club in Jhb. had bugger all to do with performance.
9 May 2008, 06:27 amI've sometimes been critical and even negative about articles on this forum, but this is a brilliant, brilliant article. A triumph of the human spirit, brilliantly depicted in words.
Hats off to you Keo.
9 May 2008, 07:43 amJust another spoilt saffa brat living off his larnie folks… without them he'd have been farked… thank heavens for them and sport…
9 May 2008, 08:51 amSo true stephen and bryce_in_oz! His biggest problem was the horrible choices he made as a child. I don't know if this reflects on the parents, or him, or both. For someone who allegedly overcame so much, he doesn't seem to be very humble. I also love the line, "Their reaction suggests God has just whispered his divine plan for their lives in their ear." I am not God, so I can't say for sure, but Vosloo's life is pretty much part-and-parcel of what to expect when you don't have faith in the Lord and you think you know more.
This is just more of Keo and his Europe-hype. I can't wait for the Bulls to ship Deadwood DuPreez off to Cardiff.
9 May 2008, 11:45 amAhhh Grehard Vosloo,,
Rated him at the Lions,he was their best loosie at th time
Big Joe
RossouwAre ALL better than him…
May he enjoy his life in France,What I find most refreshing is that he hasnt blamed anyone/transfromation/crime/politics etc in the article.He felt he was underutilised..He then did something about it.
Good for him,many people could learn from him…
9 May 2008, 15:02 pmWell written. Great article. Good for Gerhard, he deserves whatever he gets and if playing for France is his destiney then so be it.
Have your say

Just about everyone has a favorite actor or actress, someone we'll watch in just about any film, no matter the genre. We like their style, their delivery and the indefinable qualities they bring to any role.
But sometimes our patience is tested. Sometimes, friends, our idols take roles for which they are so incredibly unsuited in films so wretchedly bad that we feel almost like we should stage an intervention.
Hopefully such roles are one-time aberrations, a single gross error in judgment that is soon shaken off and followed by a return to thespian glory. Many's the time an actor has followed a wretched role with an Oscar-worthy turn.
Then, of course ... we have Nicolas Cage. But the less said about him the better.
In the spirit of fairness, we have to start this set of five actors in unfortunate roles with one of our personal favorites who should have known her limitations ...
No. 5: Helena Bonham Carter - "Sweeney Todd"
"Sweeney Todd" is one of the great works of musical theater, combining a ripping yarn, a bloodthirsty protagonist and a healthy dose of political satire along with an outstanding score.
However, when Tim Burton took a swing at "Sweeney," he cast his darling Helena Bonham Carter as the meat pie-slinging Mrs. Lovett. She brings a daffy sort of menace to the role ... but also a tin ear on a par with the worst karaoke you've ever heard. She mangles notes, brutalizes scales and tries to do with volume what talent can't handle.
Carter, who imbues "Harry Potter's" Bellatrix Lestrange with a maniacal hatred that's musical in its intensity and perfection, quite honestly can't sing her way out of a paper bag.

By RACHEL C. DOVE
Staff Writer
WILLIAMSON - The regularly scheduled meeting of the Mingo County Commission was held Wednesday morning, with the three commissioners overseeing a busy agenda that included multiple requests for financial assistance.
Ray Curry, a Delbarton resident who has been a member of the Delbarton Volunteer Fire Department for over 50 years, addressed the commissioners with a funding request to assist the department with purchasing fire hoses. The funding would be used to replace those that were showing signs of age and had ruptured during a testing exercise that included using more pounds of water pressure than what had been required in the past. The increase in pressure is due to changes made in the state rules and regulations governing fire departments.
"Some of these hoses are well over 30-years-old," said Curry. "We now have two stations, one in the Town of Delbarton and one located at Pie, so we have to have adequate equipment for both."
Curry also spoke of renovations made to the stations to better insulate the structures in an attempt to reduce their heating and cooling bills.
"You guys do a fine job with your department, and we commend you for that," said Commissioner Greg "Hootie" Smith.
A motion was made and seconded to provide $5,000 in funding to the department.
"I hate to bring this subject up again, but if we could have received just 90 more 'yes' votes on the Fire Levy last year, this conversation wouldn't be taking place," said Commission President John Mark Hubbard. "Funding would have been readily available for all Mingo County departments."
Several area little leagues were represented at the meeting including Matewan, Delbarton and Tug Valley, and all three received $1,500 in funding to be used to purchase uniforms, equipment and other items that will accommodate the 300 plus children who have signed up to participate in the 2012 season in the county.
"Investing in our children is an investment in our future," said Smith. "If they are active in sports and other worthwhile activities it will deter them from traveling down the wrong paths."
Commissioner Hubbard also told the coaches and parents attending the meeting to contact Mingo County Grant Writer LeAnn Ray, who would work with them to secure funding grants for their teams in the future.
Lyle Marcum spoke with the commissioners about acquiring funding to purchase a passing machine for Mingo Central's football program, and was told the commission would take his request under advisement, saying that if an agreement was reached to provide the financial assistance, they would also make the same purchase for the Tug Valley High School program. The matter will be discussed further and a decision will be made known at a future commission meeting.
Williamson resident Mentola Jackson was present as a representative for the Southern West Virginia Action for Youth program, requesting assistance for general operation and maintenance costs. The commissioners agreed to provide the amount of $2,000 for the program, and voiced their appreciation for Jackson's many years of service to her community.
A motion was made and seconded to grant $1,500 to the Beech Creek Volunteer Fire Department, to aid in the cost of purchasing new equipment.
West Virginia House of Delegates member Justin Marcum attended the commission meeting, accompanied by two representatives of Frontier Communications, who gave an update on the areas of the county who now have high-speed internet, and those who will in the very near future.
"The state has agreed to spend $127 million to provide high-speed internet to hospitals, schools, libraries and courthouses state-wide, and Frontier has committed an additional $330 million of our own money to feed off of those locations and provide this same service to residences throughout the state," said Frontier Communications General Manager Zachary Tomblin. "Once the state completes their projects then we go in and build off them.
"We have completed most of Gilbert and its surrounding communities already, and we're also working in the Dingess and Breeden locations now. We're working at such a pace that we're buying the supplies for these projects as quickly as they are being produced."
Marcum spoke of what a great working relationship he and fellow delegate, House Finance Chairman Harry Keith White had established with Frontier, and said this was the first project he had become involved in after being appointed to office.
"Frontier currently has 51 sites throughout the state that are under construction, and I'm proud to say that 21 of those are in Mingo County," said Marcum. "Having high-speed internet available for all of our residents is a topic that I'm very passionate about, and I firmly believe that within the next year, this goal will become a reality."
Other topics discussed during the meeting included a request from the Tug Valley Shrine Club for the use of the courthouse restroom facilities for the public during the annual car show scheduled for June 9, from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. The request was granted.
The next scheduled meeting for the commission is May 2, at 9 a.m.
