How Can We Predict Performance in Tertiary Level Economics?
The New Zealand Qualification Authority (NZQA) started to introduce a new qualification; the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) in 2002. NCEA level 3 replaced the University Bursary Examinations in 2004. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the number and quality of credits gained at NCEA level 3 by students and their academic performance in a first year economics course - Business Economics and the New Zealand Economy at Waikato University. Other factors that could affect student performance are also investigated. Our analysis suggests that several factors can have an impact on student's performance in ECON100. These factors include nationality, semester, total number of NCEA level 3 credits and the quality of credits at level 3 in NCEA economics and mathematics.Download Info

Diaphragmatic Hernia(Hernia—Diaphragmatic; Congenital Hernia of the Diaphragm)Pronounced: Die-uh-frag-mat-ic hur-nee-uh
Diana Kohnle DefinitionDiaphragmatic hernia is a congenital defect in which an opening is present in the diaphragm at birth. The diaphragm is the partition separating the chest and abdominal cavities. The abnormal opening allows some of the organs typically found in the abdomen to move into the chest cavity. In infants born with diaphragmatic hernia, the abdominal organs push up against the lungs. This prevents the lungs from developing normally. Diaphragmatic hernia is a serious condition with many potential complications and side effects. CausesDiaphragmatic hernia is caused by a failure of the diaphragm to completely fuse during fetal development.
Risk Factors TOPFactors that may increase the risk of diaphragmatic hernia include:
Symptoms TOPSymptoms include:
Diagnosis TOPDiagnosis is frequently made on prenatal ultrasound. If not found prior to birth, your doctor will perform a physical exam. A chest x-ray may be done to confirm the presence of abdominal organs in the chest cavity. Treatment TOPTreatment includes the following: SurgerySurgery to repair the defect and move the organs into the abdomen is performed after the infant has been stabilized. Surgery involves either sewing the edges of the diaphragm together, or if the hole is too large, using an artificial patch to fully close the hole. Fetal surgery may be offered at some institutions for select patients. Respiratory SupportAggressive respiratory support, including intubation with mechanical ventilation, is often needed. Different ventilator strategies may be used. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), or cardiopulmonary bypass, may be necessary to stabilize the infant. Prevention TOPThere is no known prevention for diaphragmatic hernia.

Hanmer Springs Travel Guide: 44 reviews and 101 photos
The small town of Hanmer Springs is located in North Canterbury approx 100 minutes from Christchurch.
Hanmer Springs has been built up around thermal springs discovered in 1859 by a Culverden farmer. The area was very slowly developed until 1864 when a bridge over the Waiau was built providing much easier access to the area. With the addition of the bridge came an increase in visitors which sparked interest in the continued development of the area. This got a major boost in 1883 when the Government Lands Department took over development. The pools were often used for their 'theraputic abilities' though the benefits are often debated with no proof either way.
Early on nude bathing was the order of the day with either a skirt or pair of trousers flying from a flag pole signalling which gender had use! These days there are both cold and hot pools of varying temperature plus a fairly new water slide complex catering to all. If you still want a clothes optional environment you can hire one of several private spas.
To support the increase in visitors accommodation was created including the Hanmer Lodge, now days the Heritage Hanmer, in the late 1890's.
There are lots of options other than the hot pools including skiing, golfing, mountain biking, bungy jumping and jet boating.
The Hanmer Springs Ski Area is around 40 minutes by car or shuttle from town. This is a small ski field has its access road off Clarence Valley road and is run by the Amuri Ski club. There is also Mt Lyford located 60km from Hanmer Springs for another skiing option.
The Hanmer golf club is located central to Hanmer and is a 18 hole par 68 course. It's small but a nice stroll unless the Nor Wester wind picks up making the course rather tricky.
There are lots of tracks for the MTB crowd to enjoy including several shared walking and MTB tracks.
There are so many beautiful vistas in and around Hanmer given its alpine location, large river and variety of walking and biking tracks.
- Pros:Great scenery, varied tracks and trails, nice hotpools
- Cons:Not much to do if you prefer nightlife
- In a nutshell:Relaxing alpine jewel

Chase N. Cashe - I Can Do That
Artist: Chase N. Cashe
Producer: Chase N. Cashe
Album: Ca$he Rules EP
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 2 total votes )
What are you craving, Booth readers—a fresh cut from Chase N. Cashe? I Can Do That. (If that wasn't your answer, sorry, you're gonna have to fend for yourself.) On his latest promotional single, part of a forthcoming EP release with Scion A/V, the Surf Club affiliate offers a potential female companion a taste of the standard of living they can expect, should she join his team. The artist's lyrical portrait of the fast life ("Fancy dinners, caviar, cameras everywhere we are…") comes backed by a lush, self-produced keyboard-loop beat. Like what you're hearing? More quality cuts await on Chase's sample-free Ca$he Rules EP, scheduled to drop digitally next Thursday, December 12.

You can get organized in style with these simple fabric storage bins.
- 5 squares outer fabric (cut 1 in. larger than finished bin)
- 5 squares inner fabric (cut 1 in. larger than finished bin)
- 5 squares heavy-weight fusible interfacing (cut to the size of finished bin, or, 1 in. smaller than fabric squares)
- Sewing machine, needle, thread, & iron
How To:
Cut five squares of outer fabric and five squares of inner fabric. Make them one inch larger than you want your finished bin to be.
Lay two squares of the inner fabric right sides together. Pin along one side. Sew the two squares together using a half-inch seam. Remove the pins.
Lay the next square of fabric on top of the last square, right sides together. Pin and sew along the left edge. Repeat for the fourth square, making one long strip.
Once the four squares are sewn in a strip, fold in half so the two raw edges meet. Pin in place and sew. Then press the seams open. Repeat all the previous steps using the exterior fabric.
Now that your exterior fabric is sewn and pressed, we can add the stiff fusible interfacing. It needs to be heavy weight, almost like cardboard. Cut into squares that are about an inch smaller than the fabric squares. Iron onto each panel.
Set the exterior fabric and interfacing aside, so we can work on joining the interior fabric to the bottom panel. Lay the final square of interior fabric face up. Line up one side of your sewn fabric with one edge of the square. Make sure it's centered, and pin in place. Sew until your reach the seam. Unpin, then line up the next side with the next edge of the square. Pin and sew. Repeat for the third and fourth sides.
Add the fifth square of interfacing to the wrong side of the bottom panel.
Now go back to your exterior fabric and turn it right side out. Insert into the cube you've made with the interior fabric. Right sides should be together. Line up the top edge of the fabrics and pin in place. Sew together. Remove the pins.
Turn your bin right side out by reaching in and grasping the bottom edge of the exterior fabric. Pull upward, then fold the sides over.
Iron the interior of the bin, taking care to press the edges. Then flip the bin upside down and fold the raw edges on top of the panel. Press lightly.
Now we'll make the bottom panel. Place the last square of exterior fabric face down. Fold the edges inward a half inch, and press. Lay the fabric square on top of the bottom panel.
Handsew the square in place using a blind stitch.

There must be integrity between body and life. You must not do with your body what you're not willing to do with your whole life.

The Christian attitude toward sex is popularly thought to be the Platonist view, but most definitely it is not. It differs quite radically from each of these three prominent views.
Contrary to the Platonist view, the Bible teaches that sex is very good (Gen. 1:31). God would not create and command something to be done in marriage (1 Cor. 7:3–5) that was not good. The Song of Solomon is filled with barefaced rejoicing in sexual pleasure. In fact, the Bible can be very uncomfortable for the prudish.
Contrary to the realist 'sex-as-appetite' view, the Bible teaches that sexual desires are broken and usually idolatrous. All by themselves, sexual appetites are not a safe guide, and we are instructed to flee our lusts (1 Cor. 6:18). Our sexual appetite does not operate the same as our other appetites. To illustrate this point, C. S. Lewis asks us to imagine a planet where people pay money to watch someone eat a mutton chop, where people ogle magazine pictures of food. If we landed on such a planet, we would think that the appetite of these people was seriously deranged. Yet that is just how modern people approach sex.
Contrary to the romantic view, the Bible teaches that love and sex are not primary for individual happiness. What the Bible says about sex and marriage 'has a singularly foreign sound for those of us brought up on romantic notions of marriage and sex. We are struck by the stark realism of the Pauline recommendations in 1 Corinthians 7 . . . but [most of all by] the early church's legitimation of singleness as a form of life [which] symbolized the necessity of the church to grow through witness and conversion.'
The Bible views sex not primarily as self-fulfillment but as a way to know Christ and build his kingdom. That view undercuts both the traditional society's idolatry of sex-for-social-standing and the secular society's idolatry of sex-for-personal-fulfillment.

Posted Christian Life, Relationships, Sex, The Gospel
in≈ Comments Off
The moralist tends to see sex as dirty or at least a dangerous impulse that leads constantly to sin. There will be an approach-avoidance relationship with sex. The uneasy conscience of the moralist will lead to either complete avoidance OR to a very driven, breathless need for sexual experience. Both come from a glory-vacuum within, which makes sex into a way to fill the emptiness. On the other hand, the hedonist sees sex as merely biological and physical appetite. Thus the hedonist may be less convoluted and troubled about sex, yet they have also given up on the deep longing of their heart to have union with someone sexually that is completely, unconditionally, and permanently true to them.
But the gospel shows us that sexuality is to reflect the self-giving of Christ. He gave himself completely without conditions. So we are not to seek intimacy sexually but then hold back control of our lives. If we gives ourselves sexually we are to give ourselves legally, socially, personally – utterly. Sex is only to happen in a totally committed, permanent relationship of marriage. Through Christ's transformation of us, that ideal is somewhat realizable even between two sinners.

Posted Humilty, Marriage, Sex, The Reason for God
in≈ Comments Off
Acknowledge that often when this topic comes up the rhetoric gets heated – and those who represent the Christian position are not always respectful of those who disagree, nor do they have sound reasons for their position. Christians have no more or less of a right to tell other people how to live their lives than anyone else. But we all have ways we think the world should be; and we all have the right to try to contend for these views respectfully. The gospel – that we are saved only by sheer grace – should help Christians to do this without self-righteousness.
Homosexuality is not God's original design for sexuality – sex is designed for marriage between a man and a woman. But that belief should have no impact on a church's or a Christian's desire to love and serve the needs and interests of all their neighbors, including gay people, people of other faiths, and so on.
Note that there is not widespread division over what the Bible says about homosexuality. All three branches of Christianity (Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant) agree – on at least four things: one, that every mention of homosexual practice in the Bible says that it is wrong; two, that it is specifically prohibited in both the Old and New Testaments; three, that it did not just reflect the prejudices of the day – it cut against the views of ancient cultures; and four, that the whole arc of the Bible begins with a heterosexual marriage (Adam and Eve) and ends with the vision of one – the wedding feast in the book of Revelation.

Does it work and worth the $?
by Heather's Thingies
posted May 24 2011 7:16AM
Over the weekend, I was at Gardenridge and Ted & I ran across the row of
'As Seen on TV' products. So we thought we'd try the 'Jumbo Doughnut Cake Kit'.
3 easy steps
( I guess mixing, baking and decorating...but there were some other steps in between,
so expect a bit more time than it takes for just 3 steps)
to make a cake that resembles a doughnut.
Was it worth the $9.99? Check out the video as I created my 1st
'Jumbo Triple Chocolate Cake Doughnut....
*Thumbs Up on Yummy... looking like a doughnut... could be fun w/kids making/decorating it
Thumbs Down- the decoration kit. I was bummed because I was really excited
about the 'injecter', but in the video you see what happens.
All in all, fun and the pans actually did a Good Job . My 1st success baking
with the silicone type pans. Folks at work seemed to like it too. It definitely
is a hearty piece of cake when you cut into it. Really no small pieces.
It's a must have for the Ultimate Cake Fan who is a fan of doughnuts too!
*Secret to more moist cake. Add a package of similar flavor pudding mix
to the cake mix. :)

User Review: JanSport Alaska 115
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $140
Great pack!
- Very tough and sturdy
- Lots of space
- Lots of buckles and attachments for external gear lashing
- Like the color scheme
- Is a bit heavy, but that is what you get with well-built packs
I bought this pack as an affordable option when compared to other packs in its class and I haven't been at all disappointed. I have used it on numerous trips and it has always exceeded my expectations.
The seams are tough and the pack is well constructed. The interior waterproofing has peeled off after 12 years of use, but it outlasted my expectations. I did break one of the waist buckles after overloading the pack, but other than that I have had no issues (truth be told after ten years of use and overloading the buckle that is to be expected).
If this pack weren't disc. I would buy another one in a heartbeat as a backup. Great pack! Will be using it for years to come.
Hi Shaun, I have an underused Jansport Alaska 115 that I bought years ago (my guess is in 2003?). Underused as in it still looks brand new. As far as I can recall, I only used it for 2 trips - 1 on a weekend camping trip (2003) and 1 to Spain for a week (2006). Other than that it has sat around waiting for me to use it again (which I never did). I was just doing research to possibly sell it on ebay and came across your review from last month saying you wish you could buy another as a backup. The one I have is Black/Gray/Red. If you're interested in buying it as a backup, I can send you as many pictures as you'd like to prove it's in great shape. Hopefully you'll get an email notification (or like 6, because I edited it a few times) that I've replied to your comment as Trailspace doesn't list your email address.

Developer(s): Access Games
Publisher(s): Rising Star Games
Platform(s): PS3
Release Date: April 30, 2013
Deadly Premonition is ugly,
broken, confusing, demented…and also one of the most extraordinary experiences
of the decade. It disregards all conventional quality standards and plays by
its own rules. It's juvenile and careless, yet provoking and immersive. It
fails as a traditional video game, but succeeds as a work of fiction. How much
of its absurdity is intentional remains unclear, but this exceptionally
orchestrated disaster has to be judged on its own merits. As one of those rare
cases where the failures emphasize the strengths, Deadly Premonition achieves
its individuality by being the Ed Wood of gaming – it's so bad (well, more like
odd) that it's brilliant. Originally released as an Xbox 360 exclusive, Deadly
Premonition has garnered a cult following and the reviews have been amusingly
split amongst critics. While many despised the near broken gameplay and
nauseating visuals, others praised its unique ruggedness as the holy grail of
this generation. The Director's Cut hopes to iron out some of the rough edges
and reach the PS3 audience, but are the improvements enough to stretch beyond
the game's fan base or do they compromise the integrity of the original?
In a nutshell, Deadly
Premonition is Twin Peaks, the game. Its narrative, characters, setting, and
tone, are directly inspired by David Lynch's spectacular TV series. But even the
Lynchian eccentricity doesn't compare to the absurdness of Deadly Premonition.
Playing through the game is equivalent to a tennis match with ping-pong balls.
The unpredictability and WTF moments can either be enraging or delightful,
depending on how you perceive the bizarre venture.
You play as FBI Special
Agent Francis York Morgan. York tends to talk to himself…Zach specifically, who
represents you the player. He also likes to solve cases with the help of coffee
and enjoys discussing B-movie classics while cruising around town. He's a nut
job…and he may be the most unique and interesting character you'll ever experience
in a video game. York is sent to the town of Greenvale to investigate the
mysterious murder of a young woman. The seemingly ritualistic nature of the
killing is reminiscent of York's past cases and as he uncovers clues around
town, he finds further evidence linking to the killings around the country.
Deadly Premonition is an open world horror mystery that plays much like
Capcom's Resident Evil 4. Aside from the raw RE4 DNA, the gameplay is sluggish,
slow, and imprecise. It's far more playable than its Xbox 360 predecessor, but
still feels like the basic third person shooter mechanics were shoved down a
meat grinder. At the same time, it "compliments" the broken world that it's in.
It manages to reach that perfect balance of being unplayable and a complete
joy. It's indescribable.
Every character in Greenvale
is unusual and memorable. Conversations often steer towards absurdity and you'll
often wonder how the script was even put together. Let's just say that the
first inner dialogue with "Zach" is an in depth conversation about Tom and
Jerry…yes, the cartoon. Deadly Premonition is filled with varied quests and
even sim-like elements. Keeping track of York's hunger, tiredness, and even
cleanliness is a big part of the experience. Shaving, doing laundry, and
changing your clothes intertwines beautifully with the rest of the game,
especially as York grows on you over time. Missions consist of investigating
crime scenes by collecting evidence while putting together clues with York's
"profiling" ability and fighting zombies (or ghosts?) in what seems like a
Silent Hill inspired netherworld. Deadly Premonition can be legitimately scary
at times…but its creepiness is oftentimes accidental. It's the combination of
repugnant aesthetics and broken sound effects that accentuate the feeling of
angst. It's an uncanny feat, but it works.
The visuals have been
supposedly enhanced for the Director's Cut, but you couldn't tell the
difference unless you had both versions side by side. The increased resolution appears
slightly sharper, but the already sluggish framerate is now even choppier. At
times Deadly Premonition moves like a slide show but it's luckily never
unplayable. The character models look decent enough (and I'm using "decent"
very loosely here), but the environments are an abomination. Textures look like
month old vomit and exteriors can be so blurry (especially when driving), it's
hard to tell things apart. Deadly Premonition looks god awful even for a
first-generation PS2 title and there are no words to describe it. Ironically,
the ugly graphics are a big part of the game's personality and anything better than this would simply make it into
a bad game…instead of a "unique" one. Fans who were concerned that the
Director's Cut would compromise the weirdness of the original need not worry.
If anything, this enhanced edition allows players to focus more on the game's
narrative by providing slightly improved controls, but believe me…it's just as
odd as it was back in 2010.
Final Score | "There's Nothing Quite Like It" | 10 |
Graphics |
The worst looking game of this generation. A complete disaster…Ironically, it's what makes it so unique…so depending how you look at it, it could be a 10.
1.0 |
Gameplay |
It's barely functional and just slightly better than the original. But believe me…you won't be playing this gem for its shooting mechanics.
2.0 |
Value |
It's the most bizarre and demented game I ever played. If you give it a chance, you're in for one of the most twisted adventures in gaming history.
10 |
Sound |
The sound effects are so bad and broken, I thought my speakers were failing...It's fantastic. The music, however, is superb and the voice acting/dialogue is unlike anything you've ever heard.

Malta buses – love 'em or hate 'em?
So it looks like it's definitely the end for Malta's vintage buses….
We've travelled to a fair few places on these buses and only ever use a taxi to get from the airport to our accommodation, although one year we did take the bus from the airport to Valletta and then another onto Bugibba bus station.
It took a bit too long for our liking and not so much fun with a suitcase, so we went back to the taxi option for our other visits.
The old Bedford buses are to be replaced by Arriva – we have them in Cyprus too. We do still have an old village bus that parks at the top of our street and often see it dressed up for weddings. (Click through for more info on Cyprus buses).
Did you know, the average Maltese bus is apparently around 35 years old?
This and more interesting information about the old and the new Malta buses can be found on this link:
BBC News – Malta's colourful vintage buses bow out.
MALTA BUS ROUTE UPDATE 22nd July 2011
Malta bus route changes planned this year after complaints over 18 of the 71 routes in Malta. The changes will take place from this month and the Winter timetable will be brought forward to 2nd October instead of 31st October.
The first of the changes will be implemented on 31st July and thereafter on 4th September, 2nd October and 30th October.
Routes that will be shortened:
1. Ċirkewwa – Valletta: Route 41 will no longer pass through Bugibba.
2. Birżebbuġa and Marsaxlokk – Valletta: Routes 81 u 82 will no longer pass by Marsa Park and Ride.
3. Qrendi and Żurrieq – Valletta: Routes 71 u 72 will no longer stop off at the Airport
New Direct Services
4. Services between localities and villages in the South of Malta and Mater Dei. There is agreement in principle, but the details are still being discussed and announced at a later date, the ministry said.
5. Cirkewwa –Valletta: Services related to the arrivals and departures of the Gozo ferry based on a direct route to Vallettawith only a few stops.
6. Rabat- Lija – Mosta –St Julians and Mater Dei: Route 202 will start stopping by Mater Dei.
7. The Three Cities – Marsaskala: Reorganisation of routes 121 u 124 into one route connected in a direct network between the localities.
8. Sliema – Gżira Polyclinic: Changes in route 116 to allow a direct connection between the two destinations.
New routes towards Valletta
9. Qormi (San Ġorġ) – Valletta: A new route (63) between Qormi (San Ġorġ), Ħamrun, and Valletta.
10. Għaxaq, Gudja – Valletta: A new route (X5) connecting these villages directly with Valletta.
11. Attard – Valletta: A new route (54) from Misraħ Kola to the centre of Attard, ending up in Valletta.
12. Fleur de Lys – Valletta: A new direct connection to Vallettawill be introduced starting from Birkirkara station, and will pass through Fleur de Lys and Ħamrun.
13. Santa Luċija – Valletta: A new route (83) will run between Santa Luċija and Valletta.
14. Pembroke, Swieqi and Ta' Ġiorni: New routes between Valetta to these respective localities.
New direct services to Valletta

To commence with, you will need to develop an account with a brokerage organization. If you currently personal a buying and selling account that facilitates investing of standard selections, you will quite possibly be able of trading binary options too.
The subsequent job is to pick out a marketplace for buying and selling binary options trading these selections. You will occur across binary choice markets meant for really a couple of currencies, shares, commodities and indices. For instance, the Chicago Board Options Trade (CBOE), which is the largest alternatives exchange, gives the facility for investing binary selections on two widely well-liked indexes this kind of as the S&P five hundred and the commodity CBOE Volatility Index.

A New York Times Notable Book of the YearA Boston Globe Best Nonfiction Book of the Year
Plotted in secret, launched in the dark, few Americans know the true story of John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, of the men and women who launched a desperate strike at the slaveholding South. In recounting Brown's uprising, Midnight Rising reveals a country on the brink of explosive conflict.
Brown, the descendant of New England Puritans, saw slavery as a sin against America's founding principles. Unlike most abolitionists, he was willing to take up arms, and in 1859 he prepared for battle at a hideout in Maryland, joined by his teenage daughter, three of his sons, and a guerrilla band that included former slaves and a dashing spy. On October 17, the raiders seized Harpers Ferry, stunning the nation and prompting a counterattack led by Robert E. Lee. After Brown's capture, his defiant eloquence galvanized the North and appalled the South, which considered Brown a terrorist. The raid also helped elect Abraham Lincoln, who later began to fulfill Brown's dream with the Emancipation Proclamation, a measure he called "a John Brown raid, on a gigantic scale."
Tony Horwitz's riveting book travels antebellum America to deliver both a taut historical drama and a telling portrait of a nation divided—a time that still resonates today.
"A hard-driving narrative of one of America's most troubling figures . . . Horwitz describes the disaster in riveting terms . . . It's impossible to read this fine book without thinking about modern-day Browns."—Kevin Boyle, The New York Times Book Review "Horwitz, an exceptionally skilled and accomplished journalist, here turns his hand to pure history with admirable results. Midnight Rising is smoothly written, thoroughly researched, places Brown within the context of his time and place, and treats him sensitively but scarcely adoringly."—The Washington Post "Horwitz's skills are a good match for this enormously compelling character, and his well-paced narrative incorporates masterful sketches of Brown's family, foot soldiers, financial backers, admirers and prosecutors . . . The result is both page-turning and heartbreaking—a book to engage mind and soul."—The Boston Globe "Horwitz's moment-by-moment account of the doomed raid unfolds with such immediacy that he reintroduces suspense to a story we all know from textbooks . . . Midnight Rising is a richly detailed and engaging history. Horwitz expertly culls letters, diaries, and documents to let his idiosyncratic, highly articulate nineteenth-century cast of characters speak for themselves."—San Francisco Chronicle "Horwitz's novelistic style and character development will appeal to a wide audience. Brown's raid was one of the critical factors leading an already-fractured nation to the brink of the Civil War, and Midnight Rising serves a noble purpose in reinterpreting this story for modern audiences."—The Post and Courier (Charleston) "Horwitz describes guerrilla action and the run-up to war with a deadline writer's immediacy . . . A brilliant researcher, he integrates diverse sources into a cogent adventure."—The Washington Times "What do you call John Brown? Is he a terrorist or a freedom fighter? . . . Tony Horwitz settles upon the word insurgent—and the label seems just right, as does Horwitz's book as a whole . . . Midnight Rising rolls through a series of indelible scenes . . . The book becomes a graceful narrative, ever engaging, with the reader allowed to connect Brown and his contemporaries to conflicts that continue to our day."—The Seattle Times "In captivating detail, Horwitz animates the wild-eyed, long-bearded crusader . . . Make no mistake, the infamous October 1859 raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry by John Brown and his 18 men was the stone that began the avalanche that became the Civil War."—The Cleveland Plain Dealer "A brave and highly successful attempt to revive the legend of Brown's martyrdom for the 21st century reader . . . Horwitz's vivid writing style . . . makes for a superb historical narrative."—Buffalo News "A beautifully crafted, richly detailed, and riveting narrative of a pivotal episode in American history . . . Midnight Rising is at its best reconstructing the lives (and deaths) of the relatively anonymous conspirators—especially the African-Americans."—The Florida Courier "Horwitz has done an outstanding job re-creating the historical drama of the midnight raid at Harpers Ferry and, more importantly, taking readers inside the monomaniacal, Ahab-like mind of John Brown, a man so committed to his cause that even death couldn't halt him."—Minneapolis Star Tribune "Horwitz's description of the little band of idealists and adventurers who signed on for Brown's offensive—including five black men and two of Brown's own sons—is both fascinating and touching. His careful recreation of the bloody events of October 16, 1859, the day of Brown's disastrous raid on Harpers Ferry, is both suspenseful and heart wrenching."—The Christian Science Monitor "In Midnight Rising, [Horwitz] not only gives us an action-packed adventure story, but also provides detailed historical background and vivid character portraits of the principals involved . . . Assiduously researched using archival sources, Horwitz's riveting tale is on sound factual footing. And he does a wonderful job of bringing to life the fascinating, messianic leader who, on the way to the gallows, would incite a nation toward civil war."—St. Petersburg Times "Compelling reading."—The Wichita Eagle "The lively narrative focuses on the 1859 attack on an armory in Harpers Ferry, W.Va, by Brown and his ragtag followers—the event credited with lighting the fuse on the deadliest conflict in U.S. history."—San Jose Mercury News "A groundbreaking study of the Harper's Ferry raid that makes a number of fascinating points: Brown was not a madman or a fanatic, he knew his death would serve as a moral lightning rod, and the fallout from his actions has echoed for generations."—The Oregonian (Portland) "Superb and amply researched . . . [Horwitz] renders with empathy and insight the lives of the individuals Brown touched, whether they were family members, victims, or the idealistic raiders who followed him to Harpers Ferry . . . Brown's raiders thus appear more human, poignant, and fallible and the whole venture more noble, futile, benighted, heroic, and sadder than heretofore."—American Scholar "There's a brilliance to this book that put me in mind of Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, only Horwitz's Midnight Rising is set deeper in America's dark past. With stunning, vivid detail, he has captured the sheer drama and tragedy of John Brown and that bloody raid at Harpers Ferry that helped propel America toward civil war."—Erik Larson, author of The Devil in the White City and In the Garden of Beasts "Tony Horwitz's gifts as a vivid narrator of dramatic events are on full display in this story of John Brown's wars in Kansas and his climactic Harpers Ferry raid in 1859. Brown's family and the men who joined him in these fights against slavery receive a more fully rounded treatment than in any other account. Of special note is the discussion of Brown's self-conscious emulation of Samson by pulling down the temple of bondage and dying a martyr in its ruins."—James M. McPherson, author of Battle Cry of Freedom "Midnight Rising is a deeply compelling work, richly researched and elegantly written. The events surrounding the raid on Harpers Ferry—and the complex character of John Brown himself—come vividly to life in Tony Horwitz's irresistibly readable account."—Annette Gordon-Reed, author of The Hemingses of Monticello "With his customary blend of rich archival research, on-location color, and lyrical prose, Tony Horwitz has delivered a John Brown book for our time. Part biography, part historical narrative, Midnight Rising is a riveting re-creation of the Harpers Ferry raid, told with an unblinking sense of Brown's tragic place in American history. Writing with enveloping detail and a storyteller's verve, Horwitz shows why Brown was—and still is—so troubling and important to our culture."—David W. Blight, author of American Oracle: The Civil War in the Civil Rights Era "Tony Horwitz knows how to tell a story, and here his considerable gifts as a writer bring John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry alive in a style that is just as electric as its subject."—Joseph J. Ellis, author of Founding Brothers and First Family "Beautifully written and sparkling with fresh insights, Midnight Rising resurrects the multiple faces of John Brown: avenging angel or murderous terrorist; slavery's nemesis or deluded fanatic; abolitionist hero or subversive insurrectionist. In this thrilling, magnificent and essential book, Tony Horwitz shows how one man and a single event set the nation on a doomed course where the crimes of a guilty land could only be purged by blood."—James L. Swanson, author of Manhunt and Bloody Crimes "Horwitz's potent prose delivers the facts of this bellwether incident in riveting fashion . . . It is an absorbing portrait of the often frustrated but passionately driven firebrand who successfully convinced a country of the shame of slavery and, to the South's great regret, earned martyr status in the aftermath of his execution. Brown qualifies as America's first important post-revolution terrorist . . . Horwitz brings events to life with almost cinematic clarity, and for American history and Civil War aficionados, Midnight Rising is required reading."—Bookpage "Lucid and compelling . . . The author's archival sleuthing pays off with a rich narrative."—Kirkus Reviews "Gripping, disturbing and heartbreaking . . . Horwitz brings all his gifts of character building and storytelling to Brown's rise and self-promotion . . . Horwitz's Brown did not die in vain. By recalling the drama that fired the imagination and fears of Brown's time, Midnight Rising calls readers to account for complacency about social injustices today. This is a book for our time."—Library Journal (starred review) "[Horwitz's] vivid biographical portrait of Brown gives us an American original: a failed businessman and harsh Calvinist with a soft spot for the oppressed and a murderous animus against oppressors . . . Brown's raiders—a motley crew of his sons and various idealists, adventurers, freedmen, and fugitive slaves—come alive as a romantic, appealing bunch; their agonizing deaths give Horwitz's excellent narrative of the raid and shootout a deep pathos."—Publishers Weekly

October 16, 1859
"Men, get on your arms," the Captain said. "We will proceed to the Ferry."
It was eight at night, an autumn Sunday, silent and dark in the Maryland hills. A horse-drawn wagon pulled up to the log house and the men loaded it with pikes, tools, torches, and gunpowder. The Captain put on the battered cap he'd worn in Bleeding Kansas. Then he climbed on the wagon and the men marched behind, down a dirt lane, past a snake-rail fence, onto the road to Harpers Ferry.

Ligue 1 in Europe: Bordeaux vs. Lyon
By: Thomas | April 6th, 2010Tomorrow at 20:45 CET (2:45 Eastern, 11:45 Pacific) the match to decide the French participant in the UEFA Champions League semifinals will kick off at the Stade Chaban-Delmas (Parc Lescure) in Bordeaux. As you probably know, a brilliant attacking display from Les Gones gave them a 3-1 win in the first leg at the Gerland, thanks to a brace from Lisandro Lopez and a beautiful Michel Bastos strike. Possibly Arsenal bound Morrocan striker Marouane Chamakh grabbed the crucial away goal that keeps Les Girondins in this. Highlights below:
Allright, on to the match at hand…
Lyon: Claude Puel's side are currently sitting on top of the table after Saturday's victory over Rennes and are in arguably their best form since the start of the season. Lopez and Bastos are on fire in the final third while the deffence is starting to click. However, their situation with suspensions and injuries is less than optimal. Lisandro Lopez and Sidney Govou are suspended for collecting three yellow cards, meaning that Claude Puel may play a very deffensive minded game with two of his starting attackers out of the mix. In terms of injuries, Anderson and Clerc are out, as has been the case for the enirety of the season, while Jean Makoun picked up a knock on Saturday which causes him to miss out. Dejan Lovren is inelligble, having played for Dinamo Zagreb earlier in the competition. Visit the Lyon Offside for more.
Bordeaux: Are in their worst spell of the season, having lost their grip on first place with a loss against Nancy on the weekend. Despite these challenges, Bordeaux have a chance to progress with a nearly complete squad. Captain Alou Diarra returns from suspension while Marc Planus could be in line for his first match in over a month due to injury. The only absentees with be Fernando Menegazzo and Gregory Sertic, both of whom are injured. Visit the Bordeaux Offside for a more extensive preview.
I think it's wonderful that we will see a french team in semis. I knew the first leg would be great and I suspect the second leg will be just as entertaining. Good luck to both sides (though a bit more to Bordeaux because of Gourcuff. I will never have enough Gourcuff in my life ) And now I have to go recover from the Arsenal defeat…..
