State health officials urge hepatitis testing
Wednesday, May 8, 2013
CONCORD — Officials at the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services are urging residents to be aware of their hepatitis risk during Hepatitis Awareness Month.
There are certain groups of people who are more at risk than others and are recommended to be tested for hepatitis C:■ Baby boomers born between 1945 and 1965, before testing of the blood supply became standard.■ Anyone who had a blood transfusion before July 1992.■ Anyone who has ever injected drugs, even if it was once a long time ago.■ People with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus).■ Anyone on hemodialysis.■ People who have been exposed to blood on the job such as through a needle stick.■ Those who have had a non-professional tattoo or piercing.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) "Know More Hepatitis" campaign was officially announced on World Hepatitis Day, July 28, 2011. This effort calls for a national campaign to educate people about viral hepatitis to reduce the burden of disease and to encourage people to get tested. As part of this initiative, May 19 has been designated as national "Hepatitis Testing Day" in the United States, and May is National Hepatitis Awareness Month.

Treating Depression
Treating Depression
Depression can affect anyone at any age. Most people will probably experience some sort of depressive feelings at some point in their life. It is normal to go through cycles of happiness and sadness according to events and lifestyle habits. When depression interferes with your daily routine and stops you from accomplishing normal day-to-day tasks, then it is definitely a problem.
-Lack of energy
-Small tasks seem impossible
-You don't seem to enjoy the same things you used to
-You avoid social activity
-You feel very anxious sometimes
-You feel guilty
-You feel like a failure
-You feel no self-confidence
-Life seems to be without hope
-You feel angry all the time
-You have physical aches and pains and you don't know why
-Thoughts of suicide
So how do you treat symptoms such as these? A lot of people rush right to anti-depressants. Although medicine can be helpful, there are also many side effects that come along with it. There are also studies that show long term usage can be harmful with some medicines. Consulting with a doctor is a good idea, although many doctors will try to put you on medication right away, so be prepared to ask questions and make sure that it is right for you. It is a quick fix for the major symptoms, but some people feel worse while on medication. If you are feeling suicidal, get help immediately.
Our bodies have natural ways of dealing with depressive feelings, although we need to help those processes along. Sunlight is important for your body. Even 15 minutes a day in the sun can make a difference. Staying away from junk food will help immensely. You don't need to eat rabbit food, but moderation is key to being healthy. Exercise is also very important. It can be hard to get out and exercise especially if we are not used to it. Start with 15 minutes of walking at least 3 times a week and then slowing bump up the duration to 30 minutes. Also, varying your activities is a good way to make it less tedious. Try running, biking, hiking, swimming, in-line skating or some other form of cardiovascular exercise. The important thing is to get your heart pumping. After two weeks of regular exercise, you will be amazed at how much better you feel!
Talking to people can also help you understand why you are feeling the way you are. Find a family member or friend that you trust and talk to them. Professional counselors can also help you sort through feelings and experiences that we have.

Can a person be responsible for a promise made under extreme stress. One promise was made when his father was dieing and another when his mother attempted suicide. He is in torment and can't move on because he thinks he should keep the promises.

I had am automobile accident 10 years ago, I have been on an anti-depressant since. I just took myself off of Zanax which I used at night to sleep, or if I had breathing difficulty. I feel better off of it however I only get 3 to 4 hours of sleep if I am lucky. I am usually awake all night, and have gone for 2 nights and days without any sleep at all. I am weaning myself off of Elexor now hope to be drug free by December.

What is the real truth? I have by-polar, my father was diagnosed in his day with manic/depression. I know this illness can run in families. So why do people write or say things like...anti depressive medication is something one rushes into and that one must talk through the issues that make them depressed? I really feel stupid when I hear people say that I can talk myself out of being depressed. What? 'Ok' I tell them, I will do that, and I will get off the medicine. Only one thing...I have nothing to be so depressed about that I want to kill myself, so why do I have these feelings sometimes? You don't seem to get it. If I inherited this DISEASE, what is there to talk through? The things in my life are both good and some bad, so what; everyone is like that, as you say in your article. So why do some with this disease want to commit suicide, or can't function day-to-day activities, skip social events, feel anxious, like a failure (when they clearly are not), and all the other things you mentioned as symptoms? Symptoms of what? Something that can be talked over and it will go away? The word 'symptom' describes a reaction to something. Like when one has a cold, the symptom is sneezing. The symptom of having suicidal thoughts (because one feels there is no hope in life, along with the other signs that are listed above) are indicative to having an illness called Depression. We do not sit around in the dark feeling sorry for ourselves to the point that we can't go to work. That is not what is going on. We have an illness...I have been told this, not by my therapist, but by my doctor, my psychiatrist, that I have an illness and that one of the symptoms is thinking about suicide, feelings of inadequacy, failing, crying for no reason, the things you describe in your article. This is an illness. We need to be on medication and..and, have a therapist to help us overcome acting on our thoughts and/or feelings when they come, and help us try to understand the illness so that we don't end up feeling like a failure and that there is no hope in life. Please keep the facts straight. If someone makes a person with this illness (like diabetes, or any other illness) feel that all they have to do is talk about their feelings, we will see a lot more suicide attempts. First...get on the medication SO that we don't kill ourselves on the way to therapy. NOTE: This has been my personal experience, if you have questions about things I've said; please tell them to your therapist before you decide to do anything. I am not a doctor. I am a by-polar person that is angry right now. I have a therapist. In the above article; it is true that we do need to talk about what is happening to us with this disease. Also...not all people who are feeling depressed have this illness. Sometimes there are real factors in life that are depressing. Please talk to someone about those issues.

For 'balboa' 'mistake' Reply to this Comment
Hello balboa. What do I do? Is that your question? I have questioned myself about this exact matter. There is someone that I love so much and my mind, heart, body and soul KNOWS I cannot live without him. But...it's odd, a day goes by, then another one, and then another week, then several months and then I realize that I DID live after all, and I WAS living without him. Odd, isn't it. Not saying it is easy, no, no...not easy. But actually all we, you and I need to do is take one day at a time. Some days will be unbearable, some even worse than that. But at some point, you just might find yourself going throughout your day and at the end of it, lying in your bed you realize "I didn't think about her today, hummm...and I didn't die" As for this 'mistake' you made I think you forget something in all your stress but We...all...make...mistakes...you...made...a...mistake. You are one of us! You joined the game of life and sometimes life hurts…bad. Please do not stress so much over it, try not too fixate on what has happened. I know being depressed does make it seem virtually imposable to do this. And it will take time; good thing is we have the time. Try to begin thinking (if you can. I know it is hard) about the things that would, or could make you more interesting down the road. This may be a time to reinvest in yourself; think about it. What do you see yourself doing, becoming? Because when you start thinking about ALL the possibilities you have already there is something new and exciting for you…YOUR LIFE. I did it, am doing it, beginning to feel independent again, and for some reason, hummm? I began to feel that I was ok just being myself. I mean...who wants to be so mesmerized with someone who is really gone. Get mesmerized in yourself. YOU ARE WORTH IT, you wouldn't even be alive to begin with if you weren't important. And...you are!

manic depressive since birth Reply to this Comment
i was born with manic depression. now that i am 22 it has gone to the extremes. i dont want to work, get up, nothing. i don't have insurance and even FIA won't help me. i think it's funny how they say i am sick and i could blow at any time but no one will help me. like that makes me feel better. and to top it off it's not the thought of suicide that's the worst. it's the thought of no one ever loving me and always being stuck no where. i cant see anyone cause i can't afford it. so my question is what are depressive people supposed to do when they can't get help. like many people that is my case. i had medical til i was 18. i have been through 8 years of counseling, 3 diff. kind of pills, and tried to commit suicide 5 times. i was even hospitalized for a week but they said it was all in my head. i am at my worst and i feel i will never get better. is there help out there for me?
Depression Reply to this Comment
I am glad you are able to express your feelings well. There is a very good reason that you are in this world and that's is while you will still be here for a long time. I think you will need to get a good therapist. I was in a very bad situation myself years ago and for my determination I was able to get a good therapist. Do not give up for there is a big hope.
bipolar disorder Reply to this Comment
there should be a sliding scale clinic somewhere in your area. Places make it really hard to get in....I don't know why, you'd think they'd want to help us....I once spent 5 months trying to get seen at a particular clinic, only to be told they would not help me because I am not considered a threat to anyone (i.e., I had not been in any physical fights or otherwise tried to hurt anyone.....nevermind the fact that I hadn't eaten in two weeks - I'm bipolar, too- evidently that wasn't important.....anyway, there are places that will help....I have been uneasily stabilized for about two months now....try google searching "sliding scale" or "low income" and "mental health clinics" a lot of times you'll get lots of not cheap places, but if you poke around enough you should find something.

Seroquel *rapid cycling, seems to be working for the most part, but I've had a few depressive episodes on it.

wow i am no doctor or anything but you should definately get some sleep even if it seems impossible maybe you can talk to your doctor and he can give you some medicine to help regulate your sleep paterns and then you can eventually wean your self off of sleeping medicine but if you really cant sleep you should go talk to a professional doctor

does anyone know a good site to use to find local therapists who accept you without insurance and possibly charge on a sliding fee scale?

Tell authorities about suicidal thoughts? Reply to this Comment
I have been depressed for quite a while and recent problems have been making it worse. I work for a city government and I'm afraid that if I see a counselor/psychologist and I tell them that I occasionally feel suicidal, it willget back to my employer and I'll be laid off. If I'm laid off, I will kill myself.

side effects Reply to this Comment
remember to be careful with effexor. It was the only drug that worked for me as well. I believe i took about 200 mg. I tried to come off of it feeling confident but it was absolutely terrible coming off of that drug! I couldnt even get myself up out of a chair- terrible. I've known others to have the same problem coming off of it too, so just be careful i guess.

Warriors of the Three Kingdoms Review
By: Ange Perdu
Warriors of the Three Kingdoms is a free-to-play MMORPG that sets players in the middle of the three warring nations: Wei, Shu, and Wu. Players begin a journey towards their ultimate destiny, fighting among heroes in order to bring peace to the land. The massive PvP battles, raids, and crusade wars create a war game worthy of playing.
Blood of the Warrior – Gameplay
This is a fighting game in all its glory. Players are constantly under siege by opposing warring nations' troops. There are thirty-nine cities, with designated battlegrounds and hundreds of enemies waiting to attack. Capital cities and palaces serve as a safe haven, with the option of challenging another player if inclined. PvP duels within the city limits can only take place if accepted. NPCs stationed along specific spots highlighted with a green arrow in the city allow players to go on missions and participate in scheduled wars. Missions in W3K can vary from collecting wood to invading enemy camps. Even the simplest missions will require combat. Killing an enemy will produce needed items to complete quests. When an enemy is destroyed, blood splatters in the air and on the ground as the fallen warrior cries out in defeat. The fast-paced bloodshed and mayhem of the game is very entertaining, and addictive as well.
The Art of Warfare
In Warriors of the Three Kingdoms, fierce arena battles, resource wars, city uprisings, crusades, raids, and large scale nation wars take place regularly. At any time players can enter and participate in PvP arena battles. They are held in designated battlegrounds with three rounds. Winners receive a reward chest. Parties of eight increase the odds of victory. Resource wars require players to capture the flag of an opposing nation and defend their own nation's flag. The winning nation gains their resources. Players need to be level 20 or above to participate. Throughout W3K, cities occasionally suffer from an uprising. After the first day of uprising, players can enter the city to fight NPC rebels and generals. Crusades take place in crusade battlefields. Players must work together with their party to complete it successfully. The raid wars last thirty minutes, and are open to all players. Players battle other warriors to acquire the treasure.
Spying on Warring Nations
To start large-scale Nation Wars, players must vote using the NPC Policy Admin. A minimum of three-hundred votes are required for a Nation War between two nations to be scheduled. Players attack opposing nation's border battlefields, to their inner city walls, killing the enemy's Captain and draining their resources. At level 35, players can activate a spy feature in W3K that allows them to infiltrate opposing nations to discover secret information that can be used during the next Nation War. Players must use strategy to conquer victoriously. Guilds can be joined after a player reaches level 20. Guilds have a limit of 50 members. The community in Warriors of the Three Kingdoms is pretty friendly. It's easy to join parties and form guilds.
Mastering the Great Sword and Other Weapons
The weaponry in Warriors of the Three Kingdoms is limited. Each class is only given two distinct weapons and one musical instrument. A small assortment of Swords, Blades, Halberds, Spears, and Crescent Moons are available depending on the character's class. Skill books can be purchased at the Goods Seller to help players perform more powerful combat moves using their weapon of choice. Weapons can be improved with the assistance of repair smiths, craftsmen, and refine masters for a fee. During combat, enemies will often drop weapons that players can use or sell later for coins. Several varieties of each weapon are available for purchase at the Goods Seller.
ShuangHe Soup Does a Solider Good
Although customization isn't a strong point in W3K there are several cool features that slightly makes up for it. There is a Goods Seller shop that accepts in-game currency, an Auction House to trade items with other players, and mount system that allows a decent amount of customization. The Goods Seller shop sells and buys back an assortment of items. Weapons, old militia bracer gloves, army boots, armor vests, shoulder pads, paper talisman, jade bracelet, conscript necklace, crafting tools, firestone, and fibre neutralizer can be found there. ShuangHe and GeGen soup restores a player's health. They can also be purchased at the Goods Seller. The Auction House is an area that lets players sell items and equipment to other players. The W3K mount system also allows users to customize their character. They feature a nice selection of military horses that players can ride while attacking troops. Horses have their own shop offering valuable horse equipment and feeds. The controls in the game are completely customizable as well. Users can choose any keys or hot keys of their choice to maneuver through the game.
Final Verdict: Good
Warriors of the 3 Kingdoms is a solid, war-themed MMORPG. The broad range of war concepts implemented into this game gives players an entertaining gaming experience. The action is non-stop with battles, crusades, raids, and full scale war. The storyline, which is based on the popular book series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", collides the past with the future. Players follow their pre-determined destiny and choose to fight alongside the greatest warriors of China's past, as well as defeating them from rival nations. Although the game does lag during combat, the graphics in W3K is impressive. Players can explore a vast world of three kingdoms while conquering other nations. The PvP battles and wars are addicting . Warriors of the Three Kingdoms is similar to Dynasty Warriors. This game is definitely worth trying out.

ARLINGTON, VA— Today, as part of National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, Shaquille O'Neal (Shaq) and The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility announced a new partnership that aims to fight binge drinking on college campuses throughout the United States.
O'Neal, who recently attended film director's school, will work alongside college students to bring the voice of the students to life by producing student created videos that address the serious issue of binge drinking on campus. The effort officially launches this week with messages on www.responsibility.org and will continue throughout 2014.
"This dangerous binge drinking on college campuses has got to stop," said O'Neal. "The best way to change this culture is to have the students address the issue face to face. I'm psyched to work on this project and firmly believe we can make a difference."
As a new spokesperson for the Foundation, O'Neal will continue the momentum generated by The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility's sponsorship of the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) in 2009. NSAC revealed hundreds of student-generated campaigns targeting their peers with the goal of attacking college binge drinking.
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility sponsored NSAC to shed new light on the old problem of college binge drinking, with the goal of bringing new information into the discussion, and to help students find their own voice on this issue. Accomplishing this goal means engaging new partners, tapping new sources of information, and questioning the conventional wisdom.
Alcohol consumption among college students has remained relatively unchanged over the past decade. Two out of three college students drink alcohol and 42% report binge drinking in the past few weeks. According to the 2010 Monitoring the Future Study 13% of college students report having 10+ drinks in a row at least once in the past two weeks and this is happening significantly more often among male college students as compared to their female peers (24% and 7%, respectively).
So far, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility provided grants to 6 colleges and universities to implement their own campaigns on their individual campuses. Preliminary evaluations suggest the student-led campaigns are working. O'Neal and The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility will visit campuses over the next year to produce videos which will be distributed on campus and online.
"Shaq is big man who stands to address a big problem," said Ralph Blackman, President and CEO of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. "Our hope is that by involving Shaq in this campaign, we will be able to reach even more college-aged students as we continue to change the culture of dangerous overconsumption on campus."
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is a national not-for-profit organization dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking and is funded by the following distillers: Bacardi U.S.A., Inc.; Beam Global Spirits & Wine, Inc.; Brown-Forman; Constellation Brands, Inc.; DIAGEO; Hood River Distillers, Inc.; Pernod Ricard USA; and Sidney Frank Importing Co., Inc. Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is a leader in the fight to eliminate drunk driving and underage drinking and promotes responsible decision making regarding beverage alcohol. The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility develops and implements innovative programs and public awareness campaigns and promotes action through strategic partnerships. Established in 1991, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility's initiatives are highlighted on its website at www.responsibility.org.

How to Select
How to select Mechanical Thermostats
Installing a thermostat with a heating or cooling device of your choice allows you to program their operation, making it more efficient. In addition to that, thermostats help you create a perfect environment for every room of your house.
The various types of thermostats that exist today offer diverse controlling options. This guide will focus on the most common type of thermostats – mechanical ones and will help you select the perfect option for your home.
The first thing you need to know is that mechanical thermostats are the oldest and most common temperature controlling devices that have been used in industrial and residential buildings for more than a century. Of course, modern thermostats have different design and construction but the ways of their operation have remained the same. A mechanical thermostat uses physical means to activate the switch and turn the cooling or heating system on and off.
The types of sensor technologies that are used in modern mechanical thermostats are: tubes filled with air, bimetallic strips, bulbs filled with gas or wax pellets. These technologies vary depending on the purpose of a thermostat; however, each of the sensors reacts to temperature changes and triggers the proper switch to adjust the temperature to the required level.
When selecting a mechanical thermostat for your home, make sure it is compatible with the device you are willing to use it with. In addition to that, pay attention to the installation type of a thermostat and whether you have all of the necessary wires to connect it with the device.
The controls of a mechanical thermostat are also something to consider. If the control panel is too complicated and you don't understand it, you will have hard time adjusting the temperature of your heater.
Additional features of a thermostat are something you can really benefit from. For example, your future thermostat could offer automatic adjustment of a temperature when it reaches a certain level but such features are available with more advanced thermostats, such as digital or wireless.
The material from which the thermostat is made should be water and temperature resistant. Not that it device comes in direct contact with the heating device but a simple water drop can disable the device if it is not properly protected. This will result in unplanned reparation or even replacement of the thermostat, resulting in additional money spending.
When selecting a mechanical thermostat, many customers forget about its design. It should not be the determining factor but it is always nice to have a thermostat that matches your wall's décor and adds some style to the interior.

A striking and ironic contrast
Friday, April 19, 2013
Irony: incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result (2): an event or result marked by such incongruity
Clay goes on to allege the board held 160 nonpublic meetings between Aug. 11, 2008 and March 18, 2013, along with seven nonpublic "executive sessions." Meanwhile the board conducted only 63 public meetings. In addition, Clay can find no records that the board went into these nonpublic sessions by taking the required roll-call votes.
Briggs Badger and the School Board knew they had been put under the public's microscope after the tax cap fight. And, as the new superintendent, Briggs Badger was not impressing residents with her communication and management skills. This was especially troublesome since she had already spent more than 20 years working in the school system before being named to the top job. As a result there was no excuse for misreading the public's angst over rising taxes and school budgets.

I would never buy another vacuum other than Kenmore they are reliable and the fact that you can but the replacement parts five years later is even better!

My old crevice tool split and made a high pitched sound when I used it. I bought the new tool at the store. The clerk said it would fit and it does. HOWEVER, it does not fit in the tool compartment in the canister, which is a terrible inconvienence when cleaning.

Note, we have a Kenmore upright and this attachment doesn't fit it. Probably should have known that, but it didn't say anything in the specs.

I use this attachment for cleaning the car. It is somewhat longer than the one I have that came with my vacuum. It is also a bit narrower at the opening where it sucks up dirt. I use it with every cleaning of the car. It is great for between the two front seats where the console is and my hand and a large brush/head cannot reach. I also use it to clean between the seat and the door and the bottom of the front and rear windshields where it is also narrow and hard to reach with a regular brush/head. For five bucks, it got me to clean many places I was never able to get into. Small enough to fit right in my glove box untill the next cleaning of the car.

This product is a bit redundant because the vacuum that I purchased already had a crevice tool. However this crevice tool is about 1/3 longer then the one that came with the vacuum and stores in the spot for the bare floor attachment. For less than $5.00 this was still a good buy.

If you like ^^^^^ then you might like #####
Figured I'd start another suggestion/recommendation topic, but with a bit of a twist of thinking.
This topic will be a place to compare different books or series that you have read with series or books that explore similar themes or tropes of the fantasy genre.
I guess the best way to describe what the purpose of this topic is is to give a few examples.
If you like the other-wordly magic, book-within-a book type story of The Little Country by Charles de Lint, you might like the dark, subtle magic of a book-within-a-bookness of Jonathan Carroll's Land of Laughs.
If you enjoyed Orson Scott Card's magic-ing and re-imagining of early America in The Tales of Alvin Maker you might like J. Gregory Keyes' Age of Unreason. Both series take an interesting look at the early days of America and employ an intersting dichotomy of good v. evil
So, let's see what everybody else can come up with.
C'mon, be a bit more creative than if you like Brooks then try Feist!
One of the two books/series compared has to be fantasy though, other than that type away!

This is a tough one and a topic I generally avoid. First because I usually do not take recommendations. Secondly I find that while a person may love someone I also love, they turn around and adore someone I detest. Or vice versa. Not that eclecticism is not a good thing. Just that tastes can be so incredibly bizarre sometimes when looking at them from the outside.
But here goes.
If you like Melanie Rawn, you might want to try Joane Bertin's Last Dragonlord series. It was very similar yet not so in a way that you felt she was just copying.
If you like Guy Gavriel Kay, I suggest Patricia McKillip. You will not get the same type of story. But you will get rich prose and an approach to magic that is deft, sublte and masterful.
If you like Anne Bishop, you might want to try Jane Routley or Jacqualine Carey. Both
have a much more mature tone to them and the plotline is a bit more sensible and absorbing. Even if you did not like Anne Bishop, try these authors. I would also suggest Carey for those who like Tanith Lee, Storm Constantine, Clive Barker or Anne Rice.
Frankly I suggest that everyone like Carey as she incorporates so many fantasy traits I like in others' works and makes them all her own.
February 5th, 2002, 04:18 PM #3
Oooohhh--this made me think.
Now these maybe a stretch, but these are books I FELT were similar...
If you liked the gritty medieval action in GRRM's ASoIaF then you might like John Marco's Tyrants and Kings or Feist and Wurts' Empire Trilogy
If you liked Stephen Donaldson's The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever then I'd suggest you give Guy Gavriel Kay's The Fionavar Tapestry a shot...
And if you like action-oriented fantasy a la Dragonlance Chronicles but want more depth then you should try Michael Stackpole's Talion: Revenant or, even better, Matthew Woodring Stover's Heroes Die.

Okay..if you like Donaldson's Mordant's Need you may also like to try Ian Irvine's The View From the Mirror quartet.
[Personal plug] And...if you like stories with a mirror-based theme, then may I also suggest that you may like my own Erebus Equilibrium trilogy.[/Personal plug]

February 5th, 2002, 09:23 PM #5
John, that's an interesting parallel. I really liked Bertin's first book, the Last Dragonlord. Perhaps that opens a door to Rawn after all
It's obvious that there's a Kay/Mc Killip connection, so I would certainly agree with that one. The authors are different and alike at the same time.
The connection between Fionavar and Donaldson also seems obvious.
I suppose that if one likes Hobb, Martin, Tolkien and from what I've gleaned sofar, Memory, sorrow and Thorn will be appreciated.
If you liked the Book of New Sun, there's a decent chance you might like Vance's Dying Earth books, or even the SF/Fantasy combo, the Coldfire trilogy.
February 5th, 2002, 09:52 PM #6
erebus, you can't get your books here. Or rather, you can,but amazon import them at great personal expense. So i will read them - once you've persuaded the guys here in the UK to publish them!
[This message has been edited by Sam82 (edited February 06, 2002).]
February 5th, 2002, 10:19 PM #7
Sorry abou that, Sam. Yes, I checked, and AmazonUK charge just under 9 pounds for the trade paperbacks, plus shipping. Is this excessive in comparison to locally produced books?
But, you can get all three books of the trilogy, specially priced, direct from the publisher's site, delivered via surface mail for a little under 26 pounds, if this helps any?

Hmmm - well if you like Guy Gavriel Kay, I would think you'll like Sean Russell (the Swans War books anyway - haven't read anything else)! Both authors have luscious prose (and similar settings) imo!
February 6th, 2002, 06:38 AM #9
If you like George Martin, then you might like Melanie Rawn. Lots of politics and action, huge casts, the authors aren't afraid to kill of main characters, vividly imagined worlds, and great characters. Rawn may not be quite as epic as Martin, but she's equally enjoyable (IMHO )
February 6th, 2002, 11:04 AM #10
I like neither, but somehow I noticed that people who like David Eddings often enjoy Terry Goodkind. Since those seem to me quite similar in atmosphere.

I think a workable progression is something like
or more specifically
Belgariad-->Riftwar-->Wheel of Time
I think this works going forward starting with Eddings but not necessarily in reverse.
February 8th, 2002, 08:25 AM #12
Hey, Neil. Normal price for a novel here is between 6 and 8 pounds depending how 'fat' it is(!), but stuff via amazon is usually discounted, so it still only works out at about that, even once p&p is added. At these prices, the no. of bks i buy is pretty limited. Hell, for 8 pounds i can get a cinema ticket, drink, popcorn, and travel there and back! Tough choice, sometimes.
As for buying all 3, ummm......no 'fence, but, I'd rather pay for one, then pay for the others if i like it! (due to the above budgeting dilema). So GET THEM PUBLISHED HERE!!!!!

Try harder?
Seriously, though, I will read them. How 'bout when I'm earning?!
Hmmmm, no 'on topic' comment to make....sorry!
February 11th, 2002, 08:17 AM #15
Sheesh, leave to the g-damned moderators to ruin a perfectly good, thought provoking topic!
Back to topic...
If you like Stephen King's imagining of a population reduced world in The Stand then you might like Robert R. McCammom's version of a devestated world in Swan Song.

went on easy after removing spacers as the SHCS were too short to leave in the spacers, had to squeeze the fenders together to make fit.

These were the exact fit for my 2000 Honda Magna and look great on my bike with and without the saddlebags. I also considered universal supports, but they didn't look nearly as good and were only priced $20 less.

My husband purchased the Cobra® saddlebag protectors/supports for my 2003 Honda VT750DC Shadow Spirit. I was excited to receive them so I could start using my saddlebags. They went on very easily. I installed them myself, and they fit perfectly on my bike and with my bags.

Look good on my Honda 750 when the bags are detached and do not see them when the bags are attached. Easy to attach to the bike and a leather loop that I attached to the saddle bags will slip over the supports to keep the bags from flopping and makes for easy on/off of the bags.

I bought the saddle bag supports for my 2007 Honda VTX1300C. They seem to be excellent quality and were very simple to install. It took about 10 minutes to remove the stock bolts and bolt on the supports using the supplied bolts. I am very happy with the product and would highly recommend these to anyone.
