As narrated in this novella, the life of Ivan falls into two eras—life before his accident, and life after that accident. Chapters 2-4 tell the story of life before the accident (with chapter 4 serving as a transition as it records the onset of Ivan's illness, while stopping short of identifying the illness as terminal). The keynote of Ivan's life before his accident is summarized in the first sentence of chapter 2: "Ivan Ilych's life had been most simple and most ordinary and therefore most terrible." It is terrible in its superficiality.
Ivan's childhood and early professional life are spent in social conformity. His marriage, too, is "thoroughly correct," "easy and decorous." When his wife becomes irritable and family life demanding, Ivan retreats into his professional life. He unexpectedly gets a promotion, and he "was completely happy." Then Ivan becomes preoccupied with decorating his house, which represents a further stage of dehumanizing in his life. One day while decorating his house Ivan bruises himself when he missteps on a ladder. This becomes the turning point of his life, as it leads to an undiagnosed illness and then to deteriorating health. Chapter 4 tells of the growing pain in Ivan's side, of futile visits to doctors, of the gradual isolation of Ivan in his private world of illness.
Life of Conformity
Chapters 2-4 trace a sequence of phases through which Ivan's life passes, so we should follow the contour that the story lays down. The keynote for all three chapters is sounded at the outset, with its equation of Ivan's "ordinary" life and the fact that it is "therefore most terrible." Exactly what makes Ivan's life terrible? The verdict is voiced by the narrator, and if we follow the cues laid down in the text itself, we will see the ways in which Ivan's life is terrible—not externally, but morally and spiritually.
Externally, Ivan's life is not terrible, and we can profitably begin by tracing the things that make his external life successful, as narrated in the first half of chapter 2. It is a life in which conformity triumphs. Already as a schoolboy Ivan fit in completely. Upon graduating from law school, Ivan receives "an easy and agreeable" position. His life flows "pleasantly and decorously." When he transfers to a new town, he "settled down very pleasantly." He married "a sweet, pretty, and thoroughly correct young woman."
The sheer accumulation of details would itself lead us to protest against the superficiality and banality of such a life, but Tolstoy does not put the entire burden of interpretation on us as readers. He creates a narrator to serve as a tour guide through the story. As the vocabulary of conformity noted in the previous paragraph accumulates, we catch a distinct note of scorn toward what is being portrayed. When the element of conformity is highlighted to this extent, we cannot help but see that it is being mocked.
This relates to the rhetoric of narrative—the techniques of persuasion by which a story gets us to assess characters and events in the manner desired by the storyteller. Selectivity of material is one of these rhetorical strategies. What a storyteller chooses to include influences what we see and how we see it. Tolstoy chose to include details that add up to a life of conformity in which the protagonist does all the "right" things as prescribed by social norms.
For reflection or discussion: Literature is a mirror in which we see ourselves; it is also a window through which we look at life around us. Both of these are profitable premises from which to assimilate the first half of chapter 2. Where do you see your own lifestyle and inner inclinations laid out to view in the account of Ivan's life of conformity? At what points are you reminded of what you see in your society or neighborhood or circle of friends? How does the story bring conviction?
Protecting Life from Unpleasantness
The first phase of Ivan's life, from infancy through early marriage, is a life of ease. Of course this life is a spiritual void—a life without meaning. Additionally, Ivan himself is a moral nonentity, totally self-absorbed. This self-absorption is threatened when Ivan's wife becomes pregnant, and thereupon Ivan enters a new phase. The story is orchestrated in such a way as to lead us to see the strategies by which people manage to escape involvement with human suffering.
The first thing Ivan does is lose himself in his professional work. Correspondingly, his marriage and domestic life become a mere social convenience, not a high value. His work becomes a "separate fenced-off world of official duties, where he found satisfaction." Ivan becomes an organization man.
The second half of chapter 2 is conducted in such a way as to show that Ivan manages to shield himself from human suffering. When he receives a promotion and moves to a new town, the higher cost of living cancels the higher salary, his wife does not like the place, and two of their children die. Ivan simply spends "less and less time with his family." The "whole interest of his life" centers in his job. Everything considered, Ivan manages to sidestep suffering and finds that "life continued to flow as he considered it should do—pleasantly and properly."
Tolstoy has constructed his story in such a way that only dying will bring his protagonist to a state of awareness regarding the true issues of life. Until Ivan reaches that point, a series of intermediary and potential impetuses to awareness enter Ivan's life. In the second half of chapter 2, that impetus is domestic disappointment. But Ivan comes up with a defense mechanism against that disappointment. A key statement is that domestic life became something "in which [his] sympathy was demanded but about which he understood nothing."
For reflection or discussion: We should continue to operate on the premise that literature is a mirror in which we see ourselves and a window through which we see life around us. How is the second half of chapter 2 true to life as you know it?
Another Narrow Escape
In the first half of chapter 3, another form of suffering enters Ivan's life, accompanied by another possible occasion for Ivan to face life's true issues. Ivan's income is inadequate and his marriage unfulfilling. He becomes depressed and takes a leave of absence from work. It appears that he may need to embrace human suffering and learn from it.
But then the unexpected happens. By chance, Ivan lands an improved job. Having escaped suffering yet again, "Ivan Ilych was completely happy." His life and marriage reach a new level of triviality when furnishing the new home becomes the passion of his life. Even his official work "interested him less than he had expected." In short, Ivan has become interested in things rather than people. "Life was growing fuller," the narrator tells us in mockery. Again, "Everything was as it should be." At one point the narrator tells us that Ivan's "chief pleasure was giving little dinners to which he invited men and women of good social position," and a few paragraphs later that his "greatest pleasure was playing bridge."
In either case, we are to understand that Ivan is living life at the level of complete triviality and social convention. Tolstoy is adept at giving us aphoristic sentences that sum up various phases of his story and the broader issues of the story as a whole. Chapter 3 ends with one of these sentences: "So they lived, and all went well, without change, and life flowed pleasantly." As readers we are expected to supply what is omitted from that progress report, namely, that Ivan and his wife are totally superficial people, cut off from essential humanity. Ultimately their physical prosperity makes this type of life possible.
As we end chapter 3, we can profitably sum up what the story has presented up to that point. First, we have observed a life of complete social and moral conformity. Second, we have seen Ivan avoid family involvement and suffering through work. Third, we have viewed a life materialistic triviality, with devotion to physical things and the home prominent on the list of priorities.
For reflection or discussion: This story provides an anatomy of how many (most?) people in the affluent West (and perhaps worldwide) live. What are the keynotes of that lifestyle? In what ways is it your own lifestyle? By God's grace, to what extent have you avoided it?
Turning Point
The story gradually leads us to wonder what will bring Ivan to a state of moral and spiritual awareness. The answer comes in a seemingly trivial event that nonetheless becomes the pivot on which Ivan's whole life turns. In the middle of chapter 3, we read in passing about a bruise that Ivan sustained when he slipped on a ladder while decorating his house. The very triviality is ironically important: just as Ivan's life has revolved around the shallow trivialities of life, so his injury is undistinguished (a slip on step ladder).
To heighten this effect, the ladder incident is tucked into the middle of a chapter devoted to chronicling how Ivan managed to do everything in life "easily, pleasantly, correctly, and even artistically." However, a new note is sounded as we move into chapter 4.
This chapter is mainly devoted to the progress of Ivan's illness. Earlier Ivan had distanced himself from his wife's physical difficulties, and now she turns the tables on him. We read that "the more she pitied herself the more she hated her husband." She demands that Ivan go "to see a celebrated doctor." "He went," and with disappointing results. The doctor treats Ivan as he himself treats people in the law courts—as a professional case. The doctor is preoccupied with figuring out the physical cause of Ivan's pain and ignores Ivan's anguish: "It was not a question of Ivan Ilych's life or death, but one between a floating kidney and appendicitis."
One of the great triumphs of Tolstoy's story now enters aggressively. It is the literary technique known as psychological realism and consists of our entering the character's thought process. An early example occurs in chapter 4 with the account of what goes through Ivan's mind on the journey from the doctor's office to his home. We read that "all the way home he was going over what the doctor had said." He tries to translate the medical terminology into answers to his questions, "Is my condition bad? Is it very bad? Or is there as yet nothing much wrong?"
In addition to this uncertainty and anguish, Ivan finds himself ignored by and isolated from the people around him. His wife impatiently listens to his account of his visit to the doctor, finding the report "tedious." Her advice: "Mind now to take your medicine regularly." As Ivan himself becomes convinced that "something terrible" is taking place inside of him, "those about him did not understand or would not understand it, but thought everything in the world was going on as usual."
As Ivan's physical state deteriorates, his mental anguish increases. So does his isolation from those around him. Again a summary statement at the end of chapter 4 packs the punch: "And he had to live thus all alone on the brink of an abyss, with no one who understood or pitied him."
For reflection or discussion: It is hard to beat this story for its truthfulness to life. For example: when have you or a family member or friend faced Ivan's situation of a physical ailment for which there is no medical help or even diagnosis? How does the suffering of Ivan in regard to that correspond to experiences in your own life? Suffering is what forces Ivan to probe beneath the pleasant surface of life; has this been your experience?
The overall shape of this story resembles Shakespeare's play King Lear so closely that one wonders whether it was in Tolstoy's mind as he composed his novella. Both stories revolve around the tragic theme of wisdom through suffering.
While that is common to all literary tragedies, the following paradigm is not. Both King Lear and The Death of Ivan Ilych first divest the hero of all external privileges that had given meaning to life. With space thus cleared, the second half of both works traces the hero's moral and spiritual progress forced by intense suffering.

According to an Associated Press report late Wednesday night, U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson denied the NFL's request to put her ruling that lifted the lockout on hold.
Nelson wrote that the league "has not met its burden for a stay pending appeal, expedited or otherwise."
The league and its owners had wanted the lockout to remain while they appeal Judge Nelson's ruling, with the argument that starting free agency and other football activities before the case has been clarified could be damaging to the competitive balance and operations of the league.
Reports indicate that Judge Nelson's decision does not dictate how the league should conduct business and what rules to use. It also doesn't obligate teams to extend contracts or sign players.
ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted that Judge Nelson "ordered NFL to start its league year immediately, but said no team is obligated to sign free agents. Trades in question."
In its motion for a stay of Judge Nelson's ruling with the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis, the NFL argued, NFL.com reported Thursday, that "absent a stay, it will be impossible to restore the parties to their respective positions as of April 25, 2011, if this Court determines that the District Court's Order was in error. Nor would it be possible to unscramble the egg in terms of player transactions (trades, signings, cuts) that would occur in the interim."
On Thursday morning, NFL.com's Albert Breer wrote on Twitter that NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, when asked for an update on the league's position after Judge Nelson's latest ruling, told him: "Clubs notified last night they should continue to follow the current rules and practices until otherwise advised by our office."
Breer, again writing on Twitter Thursday morning, reported that Jeffrey Kessler and Jim Quinn, lawyers for the players, emailed players and agents this morning and informed them they hold the 2011 league year must begin immediately in the absence of a stay from the 8th Circuit.
"The NFL and the Clubs cannot collectively continue to refuse to deal with players," Kessler and Quinn wrote in the email, according to Breer, who quoted it on Twitter. "It is our view that the NFL (and) the Clubs will be in contempt of court if they do not comply with the order unless (and) until they hear differently from the 8th Circuit."
The way we see it
While it's waiting for the 8th Circuit Court to rule on if a stay will be granted, the league must consider setting up rules for free agency or risk being held in contempt for defying Judge Nelson's declaration that the league must open for business.
Many observers believe that the most realistic course of action would be to restore the rules that were in place for the 2010 league year. Whether that means that free agency begins immediately or within a few days has yet to be determined.
More clarity is expected to come Thursday.

This is my review of a seven day cruise I took on the Seabourn Pride December 2-9, 2006. This was my second voyage with Seabourn; the first cruise I did with them was in April of 2006 on the Legend to the Eastern Caribbean (which review is also listed with Cruise Critic).
One of the nice things about Seabourns ships is that the layout of all three, the Legend, the Pride and the Spirit, are identical. The only changes are the names of the lounges. Therefore, if youve been on one, you will easily find your way around all of them. Each Seabourn ship can hold 208 passengers. I was sailing solo in a cabin, as were several others, and there were 202 people on our ship. You will never feel crowded on a Seabourn ship. Except in the dining room, I never saw a large group of people in one place at one time.
Embarkation: Very easy. The ship sailed very late on the Saturday we left Barbados, at 11pm. I had been staying on the east side of the island, in Christchurch, at a lovely placed called Peach and Quiet. I would highly recommend this little hotel (only 22 rooms, no children allowed) for its incredible views, bargain prices, and excellent food. Two words of warning: the rooms are extremely basic (though large and comfortable, with a generous balcony or patio), have no A/C (only fans, and mine was sweltering), and I was eaten alive by mosquitoes. Also, you are on the side of the island that gets more clouds than the side the more expensive hotels are on. Also, there is no beach at P&Q, it is very rocky, but has the most fantastic view Ive ever seen. Extremely beautiful, with a pool right on the water. Uncrowded, quiet, all you hear is the ocean and the numerous, beautiful birds. The only two reasons I would not return were the lack of air conditioning and the mosquitoes.
Seabourn made it extremely easy to board the Pride, taking all luggage, and even helped me retrieve my laptop which Id left in the car I had hired to take me from the hotel to the ship. That was a bit of a panic for me, but the Seabourn staff handled it quickly and I got it back, even before dinner! Their service is without equal, as I will point out in this review over and over. I got to the ship in the late afternoon, so I was immediately escorted to my room after checking in, getting my shipboard security card and room key, and giving them an imprint of my credit card. To my great delight, they had upgraded me to a balcony suite. When I travel on Seabourn, I take run of ship; for a single traveler, this means you pay whatever single supplement is available on your particular sailing, and you are generally assigned a suite two weeks or so before you sail. I did not have the suite number before I boarded, so when the steward opened the door and I saw the balcony suite, I was very happy.
From the first day, I was called by my name by almost every crew member I came in contact with. How do they know who you are? How do they instantly remember the face and link it with your name? I have no idea. What I do know is that it makes you feel like you are at home and among friends. I cant express enough the warmth and gracious service that the crew of the Pride extended to me, and all the travelers on the Pride, the whole week. This is one of the reasons Seabourns ships have repeat passengers over and over and over again. They know how to make you feel like a duchess (or a duke, as the case may be!). Seabourn is an all inclusive ship; you do not pay for cocktails (unless you order premium wines at dinner, etc.) and there is no tipping required or expected. So the people who are serving you are not doing it hoping youre going to pay them for being nice to you. Their entire attitude is that they serve graciously because that is the Seabourn standard. They succeeded on the Legend in April, and if its possible to improve upon perfection, even more so on the Pride.
Cabins. As I stated above, I had been upgraded to a balcony cabin. Seabourns balconies, except in the most expensive Classic and Owners Suites, are called French balconies; they are only wide enough to step out on and lean on the railing. The window is ceiling to floor, with handles on each door that turn down and you pull open two sides of the sliders. Depending on the weather, you can just leave them open and have a lovely view of the ocean, hearing the waves breaking practically at your feet. On deck 5, the water is approximately 20 to 30 below you. Seabourn cabins are beyond beautiful. They have a nice bedroom area, and the beds can be made twin or queen. There is a sitting room with a sofa, two chairs and a coffee table that can be made into a dining table, and under the table are two stools that also have the capacity for some storage. Not that the cabins lack any. Drawers everywhere, and a walk in closet that any lady can appreciate that includes areas to put your shoes, hooks to hang swimsuits, a terrycloth towel for you, an umbrella if it rains, a safe, more drawers, even storage for your suitcases (under the bed is a good place for that, as well).
The bathroom is covered in marble, with a nice bathtub/shower and a handheld shower head that you can put up above, to have the water rain down on you. Lots of hot water, water pressure excellent. Two sinks on the Pride, big mirror, good lighting, shelves on both sides of the counter and down below, Moulton Brown products, in-room hair dryer, makeup mirror, Q-tips, cotton balls, plenty of clean towels. Your room will be spotless, the stewardess cleans it in the morning and in the evening.
The room includes a flat screen TV, a Bose CD player, and the ship supplies a few stations that you can turn music on if you dont want to bring your own. Seabourn has current movies running on its programming, along with tapes of their onboard speakers (if they have any) in case you wanted to hear the lecture, but missed it. They have various other stations available; CNN, TNT, etc. Ship to shore phone is offered (at extra charge if you use it) and WiFi is available in the room. Word of warning on this: depending on the day and location, it can be unreliable. I brought my laptop and regretted it; the WiFi connection was iffy and I was constantly being knocked off the connection. Seabourn also has a computer room on each ship. You pay for internet access (buying a package is a good idea), but because of the lack of good connection, I ended my trip with leftover time, since I couldnt keep my connection. This became very frustrating!
Restaurant. I always ate in the restaurant, although Seabourn has several places to eat. The restaurant is the more formal of your choices, and suited me best. One nice thing, if you are a solo traveler: Seabourn will give you invitations to hosted tables at dinner every single night. You do not have to accept them, but since I was traveling alone, I always did, and one of the highlights of my trip was having dinner with one of the engineers, or the cruise director, or tour director, or one of the entertainers, and eight other people every night. By the end of the cruise I knew almost half the people on board! And let me tell you about your fellow passengers on Seabourn: you will like them. They are well traveled, interesting, fun to talk to and learn from, and extremely friendly. A nicer, more interesting group of people Ive never met. This is one of the highlights of any cruise on Seabourn; the interesting group of people you will be with. And being a smaller ship, youll see them often! So you get to know names and can smile and say hi, what did you do today? Its very nice!
Dinner is an elegant affair and you have much to choose from. I can honestly tell you in seven days there was not one thing I ate that I didnt like. The food is not only delicious, it is served in a way that is pure art! And the service is the restaurant is quick, efficient and charming. Ladies, you will be escorted to your tables by the waiters, who line up and wait for the passengers entering the dining room. Be prepared for them all to know your name and what it is you like, what it is you ask for often, and supply it for you without asking. Also noteworthy: Seabourn tends to be a dressy ship. Even on nights that were not formal, in the dining room people were dressed very nicely. If you are not into this sort of thing thats fine, the veranda or Sky Grill will suit you. Casual night in the dining room was two of our seven evenings.
Seabourn also has the veranda cafe, a buffet that is delicious, beautifully arranged and generous, for breakfast and lunch, and the veranda becomes 2 at dinner. This is aft on deck 7, and you can eat outside or inside. I never did dine at the veranda for dinner, so I cannot comment. But I was there often for breakfast and lunch. Room service, of course, is also available 24/7 and a room service menu is in your room. During dinner hours, if you want, you can have the same meal as being served in the restaurant served in your cabin, and course by course if you choose. Room service is quick and satisfying in its selections.
The Sky Bar also has hamburgers and hot dogs, and casual dinners, most nights. I was up there the last night of my cruise and they had lots of food and not much business! Seabourn goes the extra mile to give you many options, which is impressive considering the ship is so small compared to the behemoths out there with six or seven dining options.
Excursions. Being a scuba diver, I didnt do many of the ships excursions. The one I did was on Margarita Island and it was a lot of fun. We were taken to a very nice ranch and then horseback riding out in the beautiful desert-like surroundings of this island. We rode among the cactus out to the beach and across a sandy spot strewn with hundreds of pale pink conch shells, the kind you pay for at little souvenir stands! The horses were gentle and well cared for, it was a perfect day.
Getting on and off the ship is very easy, I never, ever waited in line. On a Seabourn cruise, sometimes you dock and sometimes you are at anchor. Of course most people who cruise prefer docking, because its more convenient. But Seabourn has tenders that take you back and forth constantly, if they are at anchor, and it is only slightly inconvenient, not like a big ship where you will be waiting behind hundreds of other people to get off. Another benefit of a smaller ship!
Things to Do. On Caribbean itineraries, they are usually port intensive; you rarely have a day at sea. Therefore, my days were pretty busy spent scuba diving in the morning, coming back and getting lunch, sitting out by the pool or in one of the several Jacuzzis, perhaps going into the gym for a walk on the treadmill for an hour, cleaning up for dinner, etc. There is a Sky Bar on deck 8 where you can get a cool drink and gab with your new friends, or sit in a deck chair and read your novel. Deck 7 also has chairs and the pool, and two very pretty Jacuzzis (deck 7 is surrounded by the lifeboats, there is not a good view out to the ocean from this deck), it also has the small salt water pool which unfortunately is in a position that doesn't get much sun. However, there is a lovely walk around deck on 7 that goes in front of the ship, by the bridge, and has a beautiful view. Take the staircase down to deck 5, and you will find another Jacuzzi on the bow of the ship. This is a very lovely place to sit and stare out at the ocean. Deck chairs here too, and often a crew member comes out with cool towels or ice water. Back up on 7, the gym is small but very well equipped with several treadmills, other universal weight machines, free weights, TVs, and a cooler with cold towels and ice water. The spa is on this level too, and you can get massages, and all beauty services (hair, nails, etc.) I very much liked the Prides spa staff, which I understand is contracted out. I used it just once, to get my hair done, and it was reasonable and the service friendly.
Seabourn has some fun things to do: trivia, puzzles, a nice library, CDs and DVDs you can borrow and play in your cabin. At night their cruise directors double as the talent and you may see a show with Broadway tunes, a one man performance of jazz tunes, etc. On our sailing we had a young man who was a classical pianist and everyone just loved him. They also have after dinner shows, and there was a good late night music duo up at The Club. Liars Club is another fun evening, with, for example, three cruise directors giving you definitions for words you have NEVER heard of, and you have to guess who is telling the truth. What is so fun is that there is such an intimate group of people at any gathering, you feel like its a group of your friends and neighbors, not just a lot of strangers. Truly fun!
Returning to Barbados, I had breakfast in my cabin and then left the ship and went to the Hilton in Bridgetown, where I had booked a dayroom before leaving on my afternoon flight back to LAX. I will return to this hotel for sure. It is fantastic! Beautiful room, overlooking an aquamarine sea, soft sand and their own expansive beach. Their pool area is great. It is extremely expensive but from my short experience, well worth it.
I had planned a trip next year on another cruise line, because the itinerary was one that Seabourn does not have. After my week on the beautiful Pride, I am re-thinking my choice. There is something enchanting about Seabourn. Sailing with them is a remarkable experience, and it will be uniquely special for each person. If it is possible to improve upon perfection, that would be my experience of the Seabourn Pride, after my equally wonderful trip on the Legend in April. We visited the ports of Tobago, Margarita Island, Grenada, St. Lucia, Mayreau, Grenadines, and St. Vincent. Even though my trip on the Legend to the eastern Caribbean was wonderful, the southern Caribbean was even better. The standard of service on Seabourn is without match. The ship is graceful and beautiful, getting into ports the larger ships cannot. When you combine the wonderful cabins, the exemplary service, the friendliness of your fellow passengers, and the natural beauty of the Caribbean islands, you will truly have the trip of a lifetime. And if you sail on Seabourn often, youll always have those kinds of trips!

Jones Picks-up Second National Team of Week Honor
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Recording five points on two goals and an assist in the opening two contests, FGCU men's soccer sophomore Deion Jones (Tampa, Fla./Freedom HS) has certainly provided an offensive spark for the Eagles on the pitch. For his stellar play to open the season, College Soccer News joins the list of media outlets naming Jones to their National Team of the Week.
The selection by College Soccer News comes a day after Jones was named to TopDrawerSoccer.com's National Team of the Week.
Jones' five points are a team-best and three more than his total from 2009. The second-year midfielder became the first player in program history to tally a goal in the opening two games of the season and has had a hand in three of the team's four goals on the season.
A native of Tampa, Fla., Jones enjoyed a big homecoming in front of family and friends during FGCU's 2-1 win at No. 13 USF last Wednesday. Jones helped get the Eagles on the board with an assist on the first goal and then tallied the eventual game-winning goal in the 60th minute. The win was the program's first over a ranked opponent and ended the Bulls' 30-game home unbeaten streak (26-0-4).
This past weekend at the Richmond Classic, Jones made his way onto the All-Tournament team after leading the Blue and Green to a 1-1 record. Jones scored the equalizer in Friday's game against host VCU, a match the Eagles would go on to win, 2-1, in the final seconds of double overtime.
Jones' TopDrawerSoccer.com honor came on the same day FGCU earned a No. 5 ranking in the NSCAA South Region poll, while the College Soccer News recognition falls on the same day which the Eagles received 23 votes in the NSCAA/adidas Division I Top 25 Rankings.
This weekend, the Eagles take their 2-1 record to the Marquette Invitational. FGCU will open the tournament on Friday, Sept. 10 at 8:05 p.m. against the host Golden Eagles.

text: A couple of days ago I bought a Cub Cadet, model 1604, at an auction. I had not planned on buying another, as I'm riding mower poor already. But it just looked so good just sitting there. I paid $575.00 for it. I know that it has a B&S engine, which I guess is inferior to a Kohler. And I checked on the Cub Cadet website and found out that it was made by MTD, and is a garden tractor. What's the difference between a lawn tractor and a garden tractor? I may have paid too much but it is the prettiest riding mower I have ever owned. It has sealed beam headlights and actual taillights! Did I get taken advantage of? If I did I don't care!

I want to thank my hosts, the 1st Brigade, for inviting me to experience the National Training Center for three full and busy days last week. I learned much from the experience and hopefully I will be more "in tune" when I cover the military beat because of that brief experience in the Mojave Desert.
Well, I managed to e-mail one story to my editor about the 1st Brigade's medical company, Charlie Company, by last Wednesday evening. Being computer challenged, I had help from several patient young soldiers.
A buzz-generating "Saturday Night Live" skit mocked President Barack Obama for not yet having accomplished anything. Not fair. Obama has been on a roll.
When Public Affairs Officer Maj. Vince Porter invited me to be the 1st Brigade's "guest" at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, Calif., last month, I jumped at the chance.
I am having an identity crisis. Identity crises are much more serious than mid-life crises. For the latter, you can buy a toupee or a convertible or visit a tanning salon. If you have an identity crisis, you tend to talk to yourself and people assume you are nuts.
We have a debate swirling through our neighborhood. No it's not whether the recent health-care reform bill will bankrupt America or improve our lives. And it's not whether Iran really has an underground nuclear facility designed to develop weapons.
The revelation of an Iranian uranium-enrichment facility buried in a mountain at an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps base near the religious city of Qom might seem ominous. If, that is, the Iranians were determined to develop a nuclear weapon.
A central aspect of the art of politics in Washington is getting information to the people. Determining what the White House, Congress and the people will focus on - and, just as important, what the content of debate will be - preoccupies politicians at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, and legions of lobbyists, pundits, strategists and consultants.
The East Liberty County American Legion Post 321 and the Liberty County Veterans Council have announced plans for a Veterans Day Parade through downtown Hinesville.
A young man asked recently if I would write a letter on his behalf, recommending him to the University of Georgia. That was an easy request. The lad is as bright as a newly-minted penny and I have no doubts that if UGA remains his first choice, he will excel there as he has done in one of the more academically demanding, private schools in our state.
Two weeks ago, President Obama presented his health-care proposal to the nation in a joint session of Congress. In the past 50 years, joint sessions of Congress have been called only 15 times.
If diplomatic pusillanimity was the aim, President Barack Obama's decision to abandon our current missile-defense plans in Eastern Europe must be regarded as a masterstroke.
One of the biggest and most important issues for Americans right now is the health care reform being debated in Congress. This issue touches every single one of us and I am glad to see so many Georgians and so many Americans engaged on this issue.
Sen. Eric Johnson, the Republican lawmaker who has represented most of Liberty County in the Georgia Senate for the past decade, has gotten quite a bit of praise for his decision to give up his seat to concentrate on his campaign for governor.
I don't know how Jimmy Carter can look himself in the mirror. He has made hypocrisy an art form.
If you still are not convinced about the benefits of recycling, let me share these facts provided by the Georgia Recycling Coalition.
As a general rule, I don't care much for TV commercials, except as an excuse to grab a snack or run to the bathroom.
Editor, The board of directors of Seven Ministries of Liberty County Inc. would like to thank the community for coming out in support of our back-to-school rally. The event was held Saturday, Aug. 2, at Rebecca's Place on Rebecca Street in Hinesville, and a crowd of more than 300 showed up. School supplies were given out, and food and fun were the orders of the day.
Last week, the second of two Americans infected with the Ebola virus arrived at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
I just learned of a book called, "Say Goodbye to Your Southern Accent."
It's time to talk trash for a few minutes.
This is the end, my friends. After writing this column for more than three years, it is time for me to move on. I also write for three magazines and the commitment to the magazines is starting to demand a lot of my time. I have enjoyed bringing you the latest information on Midway and hope that you will attend the monthly meetings to keep the mayor and city-council members on their toes.
It has become somewhat of an art for me, that of studying Southern culture and deciphering what makes us different from others, as well as downright peculiar among ourselves.
I recently enjoyed a week in my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, with my family. Usually, when I visit the best city in the country (my own personal opinion there), I only have a few days in which to squeeze in trips to my favorite restaurants, a little rest and relaxation, outings with relatives and an evening or two with old friends. So it was wonderful to have a little more time.
MOULTRIE - The first item in my emails today was: "How to get thin quickly."
Our veterans shouldn't need an act of Congress and a presidential signature to get the Veterans Affairs healthcare system up to speed. But that's just what it took.
Whistleblowers, often revered and feared by the Obama administration, have received a special place since the 2011 initiation of the Open Government Partnership (OGP), a global transparency campaign. Their prominence is justified. The OGP will become a magnet for cynicism unless there is safe cover for those who will make it work or fail - whistleblowers on the front lines of fraud, waste and abuse currently sustained through secrecy and enforced by repression.

Getting the raw action started are horse-hung Kurt Wood and insatiable bottom-pig Sean Storm, who gets his cum-hungry hole drilled and filled while wearing a pair of slutty blue jeans with a huge hole torn out in the back. Hot and Horny Kurt pounds Seans hole in the doggie, squat and missionary positions, then takes delight in tearing into Sean's hole with his fingers and tongue. After Sean opens his hole wide, Kurt shoots off a huge creamy load directly into Sean's gaping butt hole. After fucking his cum back into Sean, Kurt then fingers and licks his load back out, passing it off to Sean in a final, naughty cum-kiss.

Terrence Ross came out of the East in the first round due to process of elimination, but his first dunk in the championship round was a behind-the-backboard windmill in the throwback Vince Carter 2000 Raptors jersey. His dunk was courtesy of his high school buddy, and fellow Terrence, Terrence Jones.
Like Andre Iguodala before him, just how hard this dunk was to execute is unfathomable to us ground-bound people. Coming from behind the backboard to windmill, and getting some pretty decent extension on that windmill, throwing the ball through with solid authority. This dunk really had everything. Where on earth was this from all the participants in the first round?
This dunk won't have a score — the finals winner is determined by fan vote — but I think this is a 10. Especially by the standards of this year's judges, this dunk was pretty damn flawless. Glad I could watch it.

Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.
A South Side man was charged Monday with the Saturday beating death of a 2-year-old girl.
M. Johnson, 23, of the 5500 block of South Emerald Avenue was charged
with one count of first-degree murder and is scheduled to appear in
court for a bond hearing Tuesday, Cook County State's Attorney's office
spokeswoman Tandra Simonton said.
Johnson is accused of killing
his long-time girlfriend's daughter, Armaney Cotton, who was found with
bite and scratch marks at his Johnson's home on Saturday, police and
family members said.
Police responded Saturday to a call of an
unresponsive child in bed, News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli said.
Armaney, of the 1800 block of East 72nd Street, was pronounced dead at
4:42 p.m. that day, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's
office, which determined she died of multiple injuries from a beating
and ruled her death a homicide.
Armaney's mother, Brittany
Cotton, and other relatives said the little girl suffered nearly 20
bruises and scratches on her face, arms and chest, as well as at least
two bites.
Relatives said they were told by Chicago police the bites appeared to be human.
was someone I loved and trusted to protect her, not harm her," Brittany
Cotton said. "I don't understand why this happened to her."
Cotton said she left her daughter in his care several times before without any problems.
had no hint anything was wrong until she picked up a voice mail message
Saturday afternoon, with her friend telling her Armaney was taken to
the hospital after he was unable to wake the toddler.
Cotton was
devastated when she saw the extent of the injuries suffered -- and
convinced they couldn't have been inflicted by an accidental fall.
"Babies fall all the time. They don't get cuts and bruises and bites," Cotton said. "She did not fall."
Cotton, who lives with her mother, said she may have to seek donations to pay for her daughter's funeral expenses.
state's Department of Children and Family Services is investigating,
spokesman Kendall Marlowe said. The agency has not had prior contact
with the family and there are no other children in the home.

vacation rental description
A breathtaking, uniquely designed house nestled in lush gardens and situated on 2 ½ acres of beautiful, nearly deserted beach. Complete privacy and seclusion are guaranteed, so Slipstream is the perfect place to take things easy and unwind.
Slipstream is unique. It's quirky, cool and completely different from any other beach house in The Bahamas. Looking out across a tranquil bay and shaded by palms, Slipstream makes the most of its stunning location and natural surroundings. Its groundbreaking design blurs the boundary between inside and outside and offers light, airy, open-plan living under a high domed roof. It is ideal for those who prefer laid-back living to a de-luxe lifestyle.
Slipstream is on the shore of a usually deserted bay on the Caribbean side of the island and faces west for spectacular sunsets. The 5-mile-long bay's sandy tree-lined beach and shallow waters make Slipstream ideal for kids. In the morning or late afternoon, rays can be spotted from the beach as they swim along the sandy sea bottom. Dilda Rocks, at one end of the bay, is a good place for a first snorkel. Or you can take our kayaks out at sunset when the sky turns lilac, pink and mauve and watch the sun dip beneath the golden sea.
house rental amenities
The house is designed to capture and circulate the sea breezes and Slipstream is further cooled by fans, not air conditioning units. Its 3 simply furnished buildings are connected by decks and it sleeps 8 people. In the main building there is a basic kitchen, a dining table, a TV loft and a large, fantastically comfortable day bed/lounging area flanked by an expanse of windows overlooking the sea. The 'wings' are mirror images of one another. Each has an upstairs bedroom with bathroom facilities and a balcony, and a downstairs bedroom, with a separate bathroom and a dayroom. The combination of a large communal area and private spaces makes Slipstream perfect for a get-together of family or friends.
What is included in the rental of Slipstream?
- 4 spacious bedrooms (queen size beds & en-suite bathroom)
- Comfy shared day rooms
- Extra sleeping areas for additional guests
- 5 bathrooms (one in each bedroom, plus one off kitchen area)
- Kitchen fridge/stove/oven
- Coffeemaker, blender, utensils/cutlery/plates/glassware
- Dishwasher
- Washer and Dryer Machine
- Charcoal barbeque
- Linens & towels for 8 guests
- Landline phone (make local calls only, but receive long distance calls)
- Wifi connection in the main house. You can watch Netflix on your I-pads!
- Mid-stay house tidy up service (if staying at least 7 days)
- On island property manager to assist you with questions and house functionality and Local Knowledge.
- Two 2-person kayaks
- Brain twister puzzles for raining days
Transportation :
An economy size rental car (4 people) is included in the price of your rental and will be waiting for you at the airport.
activities and attractions in Bahamas Caribbean
Slipstream is situated on lovely Long Island, an 80 mile long undiscovered island paradise with a population of only 4,000 people. It is wonderfully sleepy and it retains the character that some other islands in The Bahamas have lost to tourist-related development. The unpretentious eateries, the low-key nightlife and the charming island events are mostly run with locals, not holidaymakers, in mind. There are no noisy nightclubs, hip bars or fancy restaurants but there is an abundance of sublime, often deserted, beaches, coves and cays and world-class places to fish, dive or snorkel.
Long Island is a beachlovers paradise. With minimal tourism on the island you will likely not even see another person on a beach. Whatever scenery you fancy, you will probably find it here, from the white sand picture-postcard beaches around calm bays of the serene turquiose Caribbean Sea, to breathtaking cliffs overlooking the deep blue Atlantic crashing on its dramatic coastline, and giving way to beautiful little protected coves & inlets.
With all this coastline and prisitine waters, an assortment of water activities is right at your fingertips, here you can find world-class scuba diving (shark dives, wall dives, reef dives, shallow dives, blue hole dives), great snorkeling spots (there is some good snorkeling out in the bay in front of the house), enjoy kayaking in the beautiful bay right out front, try first rate bonefishing in the many flats the island has to offer, reef fishing abound (we encourage you "cook what you catch" back at the house) , and deep sea fishing for the big boys like Marlin and Tunas.
Visiting and exploring the island and its communities are a definite must, here you will experience and discover a throwback to the old Caribbean and its never hurried way of life. Friendly people and characters to meet as well as local sites to explore, from one of the largest blue holes in the world, to the local museum with ancient Indian artifacts, to historic plantation ruins.

Topic - FS: Raichle(Mammut) Mt Peak XT GoreTex B1 Boots.
Rawstron1 - on 15 Sep 2013 - user since 15/Apr/05
Price: Ł35
For sale: a pair of men's UK size 8.5 Raichle (Mammut) Mt Peak XT GoreTex B1 rated boots.
I bought these about 6 years ago for winter walking but only ever got to wear them a few times in the first few months before an Achilles injury and operation left me with a horribly malformed left ankle which means it's incredibly painful to wear them.
They are in excellent condition, still with plenty of grip and have been well cared-for. They have never been worn with crampons and the only wear on them is that which you'd expect after a handful of times out in British weather. In my opinion they fit snugly for an 8.5.
Raichle are now owned by and sold as Mammut brand boots and shoes. I don't know if they make the same or similar model but here's a link to Ultimate Outdoors page from where I originally bought them:
I'm not sure what postage would be but if you live in the Halifax/West Yorkshire area please feel free to come and try them on if you like. I can also email pics of the boots if you want. Just pm me with your email address. Cheers.

Matthew Ratajczak Photography
Matthew Ratajczak is a photographer based in south eastern Pennsylvania specializing in portraiture and reportage-style photography.
Before picking up a camera and embarking on a life in photography, Matthew attended music school in Hollywood, California, where he studied the bass, playing every waking hour until his fingers bled or cramped, which ever came first.
After his brief, yet eye-opening experience in Hollywood, Matthew bought a cheap 35mm camera, started taking photographs of everything and then spent a couple years studying photography at the local community college in his hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Itching for a change of scenery and new experiences, he finally moved out of his parents home, for the second time, and headed for Missouri to study photojournalism at the University of Missouri where he eventually received his degree.
Matthew started his professional career as a newspaper staff photographer working at papers on both coasts of south Florida where he was honored with several industry awards over the years. He applies the various skills gained over the years in the newspaper business to his freelance career.

The Debian Developer Conference 2007
From the 17th to 23rd of June, about 400 Debian developers from all over the world met in Edinburgh, Scotland, to listen to talks, attend workshops, hack some free software, and have a good time.
Debian conferences are like a family gathering. About 1000 developers work on the distribution in their spare time. These enthusiasts are spread around the world and talk online for days, sometimes weeks, before important decisions are made. As in every family, different personalities and opinions are involved, so it's important to meet regularly to talk things through over tea, coffee, or a nice pint of beer. The yearly developer meetings, called DebConf [1], are the perfect opportunity to spend some time together, put names and faces to nicknames, and discuss the future of the community distribution.

Necker Cup raises $1,000,000
Necker Island, British Virgin Islands.
Richard Branson hosted the second annual Necker Cup this past November, a Pro-Am tennis tournament at his private Caribbean island to raise money for charity.
Rafael Nadal, Anna Ivanovic, Boris Becker, and Martina Navratilova were among the pros competing. At the closing night dinner, bidders had the opportunity to win coveted player's passes to Wimbledon and a practice session with these tennis legends.
The ibidmobile.net team brought its cutting edge technology to this island paradise and helped the players more than $1,000,000.
What people are saying
"Without bidmobile.net, there is no way our auction would have been so successful."
Christine DiCarlo, Event Producer
Front Row Associates
Our featured auctioneers
We work with top professional auctioneers who specialize in charity auctions, including Lydia Fenet of Christie's and award winning auctioneer Jason Lamoreaux. Each has raised millions of dollars at charity events around the world.
Our auctioneers prepare for your auction by evaluating the live auction catalog, advising on pricing and running order, and learning about the key donors who are expected to bid. At your event, they will attend the reception to get to know your bidders. In this way, they can personally engage them from the podium, which makes for a more entertaining auction and better results.
The ibidmobile.net team takes care of all live auction spotting and checkout to ensure the highest level of customer service.
Expert tips
Jessica, an ibidmobile.net auction manager, counsels her clients to be choosey. When an auction has too many items, bidders lose focus and are less likely to bid competitively. Make sure each category has several items in all price ranges, but don't feel pressured to include items that don't fit just because they were donated. These extra prizes can be raffled off or auctioned online. A well curated auction catalog will always bring in more money than a rummage sale.
