WOW Stunning performance from pakistan. Thoroughly deserved it in the end.
Wasim Akram: The most sKiLlFuL bowler in history!
Mcgrath said he is fond of the genius "Akram would power through the crease and do whatever he wanted with the old and new ball"
Allan Border "If I ever get a chance to be reborn as a cricketer, I would want to be Wasim"
Richards, Tendulkar and Waugh described Akram as the most dangerous bowler they had ever faced.

Paksistan was clearly the best side on the day. If whole Pakistan team is in right mood it a very easy task for them to beat SL. Then on other hand PAK batsmen did not make a single mistake. There was absolutely no opening for the SL bowlers to put the foot in.
There were few glaring mistakes SL made, which cost them the match. Mainly the selectors are to be blamed not players.
1. Selection of Mubarak and SIlva was questionable. Mubarak at least won us a game, and was trying to score quickly in the rest of the matches. SIlva was totally useless.
2. Indika de Saram was bench warming, who is reagded as a apecialist T20 batsman. Maharoof was also doing the same, and news is that he's not fully fit. Then WTF they taook him to the tournament? Promising Chinthaka Jayasinghe could have made that spot.
3. Matthews cane far too late in every innigs. The final showed what this man is really made up of. Should have batted at #5 after Jayawardane.
4. Isuru UIdana was a liability. Kulasekara could have done a better job.
This tournament had showed few posotove things about SL team.
Sangakkara's captaincy was very good. Dilshan really made a name as an opener. Matthews, has well and truly announced himself. Jayasuriya must go. ODI opening slot should be taken by Matthews, who's the best player of pace after Sangakkara in SL team.
Member of the Sanga fan club. (Ugh! it took me so long to become a real fan of his)
Congrats Pakistan - we couldn't have lost to a nicer or more deserving bunch!
As for our mob, I was actually stoked with how we played. I didn't rate us as having a snow flakes hope in hell. Moreover, I was one of many that despised the 20/20 format but I'm happy to have been proven wrong.
- Dilshan = Jayasuriya's replacement at the top in all formats.
- Matthews is a find. I don't agree with Migara about him opening - we need his striking at the death for sure. He should be batting 5 or 6.
- Mubarak is still greatest joke played on international cricket. I still think I'm going to wake up one morning and find out that it was all a dream and Jehan Mubarak was a figment of my imagination.
- Silva = done. I thought 20/20 would be the elixer to cure on of our most promising talents. What the hell happened to this guy?
- Mendis needs to come up with some new questions to ask batsmen. Pakistan showed they've got all the answer to what he's got now. He needs also bowl the offspinner more.
- Udana's selection as an all arounder is a diabolical. The guy is not a batsmen. His bowling in 20/20 will be quite handy as he gains more experiance. But ideally Maharoof should have been in the side - we missed the bounce and variation he brings to the attack.
- Malinga is back!
- Sanga's post match speech was awesome, loved that he said a few words in Sinhalese.
Striking power will come from Maharoof. Don't we want our best batsmen playing most of the overs? And people like Tharanga and Udawatta are jokes against good pace. Let Dilshan bash and Matthew consolidate. When Matthews is in he'll be a bitter experience for the bowlers- Matthews is a find. I don't agree with Migara about him opening - we need his striking at the death for sure. He should be batting 5 or 6.
At least he won a match for us. I prefer him for no hopers like Kapugedara or SIlva who crack under pressure. He's more suited for 50 over format, a player who can consolidate. I would still keep himMubarak is still greatest joke played on international cricket. I still think I'm going to wake up one morning and find out that it was all a dream and Jehan Mubarak was a figment of my imagination.
Agreed.Silva = done. I thought 20/20 would be the elixer to cure on of our most promising talents. What the hell happened to this guy?
Have been telling this always, that he needs to make the off break his stock ball. I think his finger is wearing off. With the off break he can learn all the tricks of a finger spinner. Batsmen will be weary of the carrom ball and will be glued to the crease unlike playing an orthadox offspinnerMendis needs to come up with some new questions to ask batsmen. Pakistan showed they've got all the answer to what he's got now. He needs also bowl the offspinner more.
Agreed, but he was injured I am afraid.Udana's selection as an all arounder is a diabolical. The guy is not a batsmen. His bowling in 20/20 will be quite handy as he gains more experiance. But ideally Maharoof should have been in the side - we missed the bounce and variation he brings to the attack.
Yes! Needs Dhammika Prasad to be fit an firing. With Vaas, Matthews, Maharoof, Kulasekara and Thushara, SL fast attack will be some heck of a thing.Malinga is back!
You guys know why Kandamby was dropped for this tournment. I thought he looked good in the ODIs he played. He deserves a decent run, everyone else seems to get one. Kaushal Silva for the last batting spot as well.
Jayasuriya, Dilshan, Silva, Sangakkara, Jayawardene, Mathews, Kandamby - Good balance between stroke players and agressive batsmen.
The man, the mountain, the Mathews. The greatest all rounder since Keith Miller. (Y)

I pretty much agree with Migara and Lionheart...
Udana was shocking at times, even with his magic slower ball -- honestly, how effective is it when it gets used four times an over? Before half the matches, I was reading the teamsheets praying that Kulasekera would be in there.
I wondered what had happened to Maharoof -- if he was indeed not fit enough to take part at all, why have him in the squad? Poor planning there, although we don't know all the facts (e.g. might have got close then aggravated the injury while training).
Chamara Silva had that awesome year or so, but has since gone seriously backwards. There's no way he should have been in our middle order. At least Mubarak tonked it around a bit.
Dilshan has re-invented himself as a batsman. Hopefully his form and confidence will carry over to the longer forms of the game. Mathews has been a revelation too -- after his performances with both bat and ball (and in the field), I'm expecting him to be a solid international all-rounder for the next ten years.
Mendis isn't done yet, but he has been looking more normal. It's telling that Pakistan, arguably the side that's seen most of him, played him without too much trouble.
I can't see Sanath still being there for the next World Cup, so he has to go and let someone younger get some experience. He's still pretty damn good, but his success rate is dropping like a stone.
Sanga's captaincy was, on the whole, excellent. HOWEVER, he has to shoulder some of the blame for Udana and Silva.
Overall, I'm gutted, but glad Pakistan won rather than SA, Australia or India. World cricket is better off with an unpredictably brilliant Pakistan.
Winner of the 4th Cricket Web Battrick Cup
Great win for Pakistan, and for Pakistani cricket. This should put a smile back on the faces of all of us that love the way Pakistan play the game.
As for the result, I have to admit that I expected the Sri Lankans to win as they have been the stand out team for me.
But Pakistan blew them off the park
Middle Wicket
Yea Udana is a novelty bowler because he relies so much on his slower ball. It was only a matter of time before teams developed a successful strategy against him - surprised it took as long as it did.

By RYAN ALEXANDERTaxpayers for Common Sense
For the first time in five years, Congress has not finished a single spending bill on time.
Lawmakers like to wax poetic about Congress' constitutional power of the purse when defending earmarks and other budgetary goodies. Instead of debating constitutional theory, lawmakers need to roll-up their sleeves and get to work.
Speaking of the Constitution, providing funding for the federal government is one of Congress' only constitutionally mandated responsibilities. While there have been some justifiable complaints about the president's failure to veto even one spending bill over the last six years - while at the same time earmarks and federal spending exploded - the current congressional leadership hasn't even given him a bill to veto. The kicker is that the president has threatened to veto nine of the 12 unpassed bills because of differences over policy provisions or spending levels.
The House has passed 12 of its spending bills, but the Senate has passed only five. And it doesn't appear that any of the few bills that have passed both chambers are ready to be sent to the president. It is not even clear if the House and Senate are meeting to reconcile any of them.
Not since the 1995 showdown has the nation's budget been in such disarray. Congress and the president bought themselves breathing room this year with a continuing resolution, a measure that will fund the government until Nov. 16. That gives them a few weeks to finish the work they haven't completed in the last six months.
Some Democrats want to package most of the remaining appropriation bills together; either into one large omnibus spending measure or into a few smaller ones. Republicans are starting to push the idea of a yearlong continuing resolution to fund the agencies at last year's levels. Most of the federal government actually spent all of Fiscal Year 2007 operating under a yearlong continuing resolution (with the notable exception of the Departments of Defense (DOD) and Homeland Security (DHS), for which spending bills were completed last year).
Neither of these proposals is the answer. While the nation waits for lawmakers to get to work, both of those options are capitulations that Congress cannot get its work done. Omnibus spending bills end up as enormous, more-than-foot-high piles of legislation that no one has the chance to skim, much less fully read and understand, prior to passage. And history has taught us that these monstrosities are invitations to mischief.
Another continuing resolution isn't the answer either. Much as we liked the fact that the fiscal year 2007's continuing resolution left the vast majority of earmarks on the cutting room floor (only the DOD and DHS earmarks remained), auto-funding government year after year is not responsible governance.
Congress needs to get these bills passed and sent to the president. If he chooses to veto any of them, taxpayers and voters expect Congress and the White House to sit down and hammer out their differences like grownups. That's how the founding fathers envisioned our democracy working.
Instead of overheated rhetoric on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, Congress and the president should follow the plan James Madison wrote.
Ms. Ryan Alexander is president, Taxpayers for Common Sense.

|Carbon High counselor Melissa Swenson reviews the Iowa Test of Educational Development. The ITED will replace the Stanford Achievement Test in Carbon School District.
The Stanford Achievement Tests have been replaced in Utah by the Iowa Tests of Educational Development. This is the first year the local school district has administered the ITED tests to grades one, three, five and eight as well as to the juniors at Carbon High School.
According to Carbon High counselor Melissa Swenson, the new tests compare how local students stack up against other pupils in the state core curriculum.
Carbon High will administer the Iowa Test of Educational Development to juniors on Sept. 28, Sept. 29 and Sept. 30. The timed test is required by the state office of education for all 11th graders. Testing will begin promptly at 8:27 a.m. Students who are absent on any of the days will be pulled from other classes to make up the missed sections of the test.
Sophomores and seniors will begin school on the three days at 10:07 a.m. Buses will run on the usual schedules. Students who arrive early or who are bused may go to the cafeteria, library, gym or the CHS Grand Canyon hall.

Wil is a 25 year old student, town planner, and sim racing commentator, most well known for his work as the lead commentator for GlacierTV. Wil got into commentating through his college student radio, where he also worked as a journalist and interviewer, covering gigs and festivals within the UK, and joined GlacierTV in February 2012, becoming lead commentator a month later. His work culminated in him commentating on the 2013 iRacing.com World Championship Grand Prix Series, iRacing Indy 500, and iRacing All Star Race. When he gets in the virtual cockpit, you'll normally see will taking on the thrill of IndyCar Oval racing, or trying his hand in GT action
Outside of iRacing, Wil's an avid IndyCar fan, having watched the sport since the late 1990s, and always looks forward to the Month of May. He also enjoys watching NASCAR, Formula 1, and V8 Supercars.
Jeff Jacobs started autocrossing with the SCCA in 1990 while a student at the University of Florida. He has competed in the SCCA's National Tour and ProSolo series since 1995, winning a ProSolo National Championship in H-Stock in 2011 driving a 2010 MINI Cooper. Jeff completed his SCCA Club Racing drivers' school in 2012 at Roebling Road in a Spec Miata. He currently writes a column for the SCCA's Northeast Division in SportsCar Magazine and is the Region Executive of the Philadelphia Region SCCA.
Jeff joined iRacing in October 2012. After starting with the MX-5 and SRF cars, he has been concentrating on the Ford Mustang FR500S, competing in the iRacing.com Mustang Cup series and the Continental Endurance Sports Car Series.
I began taking sim racing seriously about a year ago, but have loved motorsports from a young age. I began following Formula One first, then realized there are a huge variety of motorsports to watch. iRacing has opened my eyes even more to the diversity and volume of "real world" motorsports, let alone on the sim itself. With the huge varieties of series to choose from, you're spoiled for choice!
Ever since I began iRacing, I wanted to improve on my ability, be it road or oval. Having not really heard about oval racing prior to November last year (blame the UK press), my mentality towards it has totally changed from what it would have initially been - it's awesome! I recently began road racing again - in the Star Mazda - and have been having a blast ever since. On top of racing the series I have the privilege of writing the articles for iRacing News.
In all honesty I have surprised myself on iRacing. From being a fairly casual gamer/racer, it's been a world of difference, but it has far exceeded my expectations. I had a very brief stint driving in rFactor leagues, but I found my place of sim racing on this service, and I can't see myself stopping anytime soon.
Justin is 29 and lives in Texas with his girlfriend and three dogs. Although always a fan of road racing growing up, Sutton never got the chance to participate in Sim-Racing until 2012 and didn't join iRacing until 2013. The son of a writer, and former resident of Connecticut and Philadelphia, his interests vary. Currently Sutton is a co-owner of YouTube channel focused on racing games and simulators and more specifically Formula One along with his partner Mikko from Finland (BoxBoxBoxGaming). Currently Sutton writes the Skip Barber F2000 and Lotus 49 articles (and the occasional F1 article) for iRacing News, and doesn't get nearly enough time to race the cars he writes about.
Gaming is a big part of Sutton's life as well as he is both viewer and broadcaster on Twitch along with his girlfriend of seven years. In addition to being an aspiring writer he is a skilled speaker with a focus on commentary of races and hopes one day to do commentary for road racing of some kind.
Matt Holden began his involvement in motorsports at an early age, moving to Charlotte, NC when he was 6 months old. Growing up next door to a NASCAR TV personality, racing has always been a major part of his life. Currently studying Mechanical Engineering at UNC Charlotte, Matt works for US Legend Cars International as a technical inspector and race official at local tracks such as Charlotte Motor Speedway and Concord Speedway. Within iRacing, Matt is the Crew Chief for Gale Force Racing's #05 car in the NASCAR Peak Antifreeze Series, as well as Chassis Engineer for the team's R&D program.
For all intents and purposes, Paul Slavonik was a late-bloomer to racing. Growing up watching NASCAR drivers such as Davey Allison and Earnhardt Sr. was the furthest extent of Paul's racing aspirations at the time. Fast forwarding 20 years, Paul began watching the UK show Top Gear and thus ensued a fascination with all things fast. Soon after, Paul stumbled upon iRacing.com and has been hooked on racing ever since.
A United States Army Veteran, Certified Audio Engineer and aspiring author, Paul spends his time hanging out with his wife and working on his first book. Currently residing in Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), TX, his favorite racing series is the Australian V8 Supercars (go FPR!) and he has recently joined a local ChumpCar racing team. Paul began writing news stories for iRacingNews in January of 2014 and currently covers the GT3 Challenge Series and the V8 Supercars Series.

POTSDAM - Early enrollment numbers at SUNY Potsdam are better than any of its peers in the SUNY system, helping the college to recover from a 21 percent dip in applications at this time last year.
Interim President Dennis C. Hefner discussed the enrollment numbers at the end-of-semester college council meeting Friday.
The college saw an 18.7 percent increase in applications, more than any of their 11 peer SUNY Schools, including SUNY Brockport, SUNY Plattsburgh and SUNY Fredonia.
Dr. Hefner attributed the increase to several factors, including an increase in the number of recruiters.
The rise isnt quite enough to cover last years steep drop in enrollment, which affected all of SUNY Potsdams peers and has been blamed largely on a drop in high school graduation rates.
Were recouping to where we were, Mr. Hefner said.
More students means more tuition money for the college, which will help the school battle its $2.4 million budget deficit in the year to come.
Thats going to be very positive and very good for us, Mr. Hefner said.
Mr. Hefner also detailed the colleges plans to attract more Canadian graduate students. International students pay three times the tuition rate of in-state students.
The program will offer a free room and a commuter meal plan to Canadian graduate students, with the cost being covered by the extra tuition they pay.
Many Canadian students stay at the campus three days a week and return home for the other four. Those who want to stay on campus full time will be able to upgrade to a full meal plan at a reduced cost.
Only four new students need to enroll in order for the program to break even, Mr. Hefner said.
I think its a good program, and lets face it, Canada is not that far away, he said.
The college once had a similar program that applied to both graduate and undergraduate students. However, many of the Canadian undergraduates were recruited for the college;s hockey team. When the NCAA audited the college it found hockey players were receiving an unusually large proportion of scholarships, and the program was shuttered several years ago.
The council also provided an update on the eight students who lost their apartments when 28 Pierrepont Ave. was destroyed in a suspected arson fire last month.
The college community raised over $2,000 to help the students replace their lost items, and all the students have found a new place to live. There were no injuries.
Brandi Lee Saumier, 21, was charged with starting the fire. Although she lived at the house, she was not a SUNY Potsdam student.

Why does a patient with heart disease retain fluid?
Heart failure is the result of poor cardiac function and is reflected by a decreased volume of blood pumped out by the heart, called cardiac output. Heart failure can be caused by weakness of the heart muscle, which pumps blood out through the arteries to the entire body, or by dysfunction of the heart valves, which regulate the flow of blood between the chambers of the heart. The diminished volume of blood pumped out by the heart (decreased cardiac output) is responsible for a decreased flow of blood to the kidneys. As a result, the kidneys sense that there is a reduction of the blood volume in the body. To counter the seeming loss of fluid, the kidneys retain salt and water. In this instance, the kidneys are fooled into thinking that the body needs to retain more fluid volume when, in fact, the body already is holding too much fluid.
This fluid increase ultimately results in the buildup of fluid within the lungs, which causes shortness of breath. Because of the decreased volume of blood pumped out by the heart (decreased cardiac output), the volume of blood in the arteries is also decreased, despite the actual increase in the body's total fluid volume. An associated increase in the amount of fluid in the blood vessels of the lungs causes shortness of breath because the excess fluid from the lungs' blood vessels leaks into the airspaces (alveoli) and interstitium in the lungs. This accumulation of fluid in the lung is called pulmonary edema. At the same time, accumulation of fluid in the legs causes pitting edema. This edema occurs because the build-up of blood in the veins of the legs causes leakage of fluid from the legs' capillaries (tiny blood vessels) into the interstitial spaces.
An understanding of how the heart and lungs interact will help you to better comprehend how fluid retention works in heart failure. The heart has four chambers; an atrium and a ventricle on the left side of the heart and an atrium and ventricle on the right. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and transfers it to the left ventricle, which then pumps it through the arteries to the entire body. The blood then is transported back to the heart by veins into the right ventricle and transferred to the right ventricle, which then pumps it to the lungs for re-oxygenation.
Left-sided heart failure, which is due primarily to a weak left ventricle, usually is caused by coronary artery disease, hypertension, or disease of the heart valves. Typically, when these patients initially come to the doctor they are troubled by shortness of breath with exertion and when lying down at night (orthopnea). These symptoms are due to pulmonary edema that is caused by pooling of the blood in the vessels of the lungs.
In contrast, right-sided heart failure, which often is due to obstructive sleep apnea or chronic lung diseases such as emphysema, initially causes salt retention and edema. Persistent salt retention in these patients, however, may lead to an expanded blood volume in the blood vessels, thereby causing fluid accumulation in the lungs (pulmonary congestion) and shortness of breath.
In patients with heart failure due to weak heart muscle (cardiomyopathy), both the right and left ventricles of the heart are usually affected. These patients, therefore, can initially suffer from swelling both in the lungs (pulmonary edema) and in the legs and feet (peripheral edema). The physician examining a patient who has congestive heart failure with fluid retention looks for certain signs. These include:

Puerto Rico's supreme court ruled February 22 in favor of a law prohibiting same-sex couples from adopting children. The 5-4 vote came in the case of a lesbian woman who has been trying for several years to adopt the daughter her partner had 12 years ago via in-vitro fertilization. The decision comes as the U.S. territory is locked in an intense political battle over the legalization of same-sex marriage.
In its decision, the court upheld the constitutionality of the law that bans a person from adopting a single-parent child if the person desiring to adopt is the same sex as the existing biological parent, without that parent losing their legal rights to the child.
In its majority opinion the court said that the state had not criminalized the "sentimental relationship" of the lesbian couple, "but it does not have a constitutional obligation to award this relationship the same rights that other relationships have when it comes to adoption procedures."
The Associated Press reported that the court majority also found "so-called second-parent adoptions, in which couples jointly adopt children, do not apply in Puerto Rico. That issue affects the case in question in part, the majority said, because the girl would have to be registered with two mothers and the U.S. territory's laws do not address such a situation. The judges said it is up to legislators to change adoption laws if they see fit."
Noting that courts in Nebraska, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Connecticut have struck down similar same-sex adoption cases, the court advised: "Starting today, the applicant should channel her efforts through the Legislative Assembly."

Ubon Ratchathani Floods 2011 Thailand.
I went for a ride to see how the floods were here in Ubon Ratchathani. Last weekend I went out and took a couple of pictures but this week I wanted to speak to some people.
This is a tent city. Small tents have turned into peoples' homes along the edges of roads that snake their way close to the river. There are mobile toilets and also showers set up for all the people to share.
This is Nim and her family. Nim is the lady in the blue t-shirt second from right. They have been in the tent for nearly a month and up to ten people sleep here. Most years their house near the river will flood but only the bottom floor of their two storey home. This year it is completely under, the first time in many years she said.
They said the tents keep them dry most of the time, but they still get wet in the very heavy rain and it gets very hot inside. They have a fan and some roll out beds. I would say they are only around 8ft by 6ft at the most.
These houses I would say are about 200mtrs or a little further from Ubon's river, The Moon (The Mun).
There are boats here to transport people back and forward. Some are still living in their houses on the second floors.
It is the same picture in another area. Tents are set up and some families are living in these small shelters.
Again I was met with smiling and happy faces. Plenty of people wanted to say, "hello" and have a chat. This is Ko who is only 18 and his partner. They have been in their shelter close to a month. They said they were fine and it wasn't as bad as others were worse off than them. People had died in other parts of Thailand and lost their houses and land washed away. He is a young father and is working, so most days he is away from the tent but his partner stays with their child.
The boats are lined up for people to go back and forward to their homes. Most will sleep on the second levels of their homes at night but through the day come out for food and to watch TV as most have no power.
These men were all enjoying Muay Thai boxing on TV. Some were very merry and I had to happily decline the offer of having a drink of Thailand's finest rice whiskey or Low Kaow. I escaped with the excuse of I had to ride my motorbike and couldn't be drunk. Thankfully it worked.
I spoke to the guy on the right of the picture with one hand up. His name was Chitiya and he said 168 houses were flooded in the area affecting about 380 people. Most are living upstairs until the floods recede.
He said this was the worst flood in around 10 years, but the one about ten years ago was a lot worse. I found out how much worse later on.
The main road heading into Ubon City has tents lined all the way along it.
This lady and her daughter were being taken back to their house.
Everywhere I went kids were playing in the water, making their own fun. I am an old worry wart. The water was dirty in many places, littered with rubbish but what I worried about the most is the sewerage. There are no sewer mains but everyone has septic tanks. Maybe I just worry too much.
The temple and it's large what are like an urn as they hold the ashes and bones of deceased are under water.
More houses under water.
This is down past Ubon Ratchathani's prison. It is off Soi 9 and right near Wat Kut Kool วัดกุดคูณ. The man in the boat is called Bom.
Bom was telling me that 10 years ago, the last time in the big flood he couldn't even stay in his house on the second floor. He pointed on the temple wall to a spot about a foot under the top and said that is where the water was back then.
Another family made their way to dry land and I had been wondering about the tyres in the water. I found out that they stop the longtail boats. And the older lady's face was priceless as the boat come to a sudden stop.
This is the golf driving range just down from Benchama School, if you know Ubon then you will know where I mean.
This is the road that hooks onto what I call the ring road or highway 231, it comes out at Ubon University.
Some rode in and quickly turned around when they found it a little too deep.
While others just didn't seem to care for their motorbikes and pushed through.
They were just about to start pumping the water out from the flooded road, it is sand bagged but obviously is leaking in places.
People just went on with their daily life, here and mother and daughter strolled on by, off along the flooded road.
I had walked back to my motorbike and heard the sound of a siren and sure enough an ambulance was making its way through and thankfully did without any problems.
In Ubon there are plenty of people that have been affected by the floods. But what amazed me was their resilience and how generous they were.
I was offered food and drink, not only alcohol but water and soft drink by so many people. Most seemed happy and not too worried about not being able to return home for a bit longer yet.
There have been more warnings in the paper today of heavy rain and flash flooding for the north east of Thailand. Today was a beautiful day, cloudy but warm. I do hope they are wrong and the rain stays away so all the tent people like Nim and her family can move back into their homes.
I met some really nice people today and look forward to returning in a week or two and checking on their progress.

Brunty, some fine reporting, and as usual, great documentary photos of the situation. we'd like to know if the downtown area is flooded, and also about your house. we know from reading your blog that the street outside your house tends to flood. so what is your personal situation? thanks.

Hey MJ, thanks for the kind words mate and the camera does the job better than words.
Downtown Ubon is fine. It is mostly places in low areas near the main river and also the tributaries that run in are just overflowing and more water is expected from reports.
The water at my place just backs up as all the drains fill in the area and then back up and my street is at the bottom of many little streets and all the water runs down and then makes my own little river.
The worst I had was one step to go before it was on the front porch area; I was starting to worry a little that day.
I am fine my friend and thanks for the concern.

Great photos! These pictures really show the extent of the flooding [those one-story homes completely under water]. Hard to believe that there was a worst flood in recent memory.
The folks in the tent city are much more resilient than I would be, and they have a much more positive attitude...

Hey Brunty,
This is Jon from Nakhom Phanom. Great pictures and reporting on the floods in Ubon Ratchatani. It is refreshing to see what Thailand is known for "Land of Smiles" in the people in your pictures. I hope you and your family are OK and your house is not in danger of the floods. Great post and keep up the good work,
Take Care,

Thanks so much for the fine report. Your pics & text say so much about the impressive resilience of the people affected by the floods.

Brunty, a really insightful picturmentary of what's going on down your way...and a very eerie photo of the temple grounds. The (smiles and) resilience of the people here is amazing. I hope they're high and dry soon. We've still been spared, still, of any serious flooding in Chiang Mai...touch wood.
PS. I'm a bit of a worry wart too ;)

Hi Harold, I was surprised as well as I have only been here 6 years but when Bom showed me how high the water was 10 years ago, I was a little aghast. I thought this flood was bad and causing enough problems, back ten years ago I think most of Ubon would have been a lake.
I was amazed at how positive people were, they were happy to chat and wanted to take me in their boats to see their houses. I was offered food and drink each time I stopped somewhere.
Hey Jon, I always find the people who have the bare minimum, especially here in Ubon are so generous. We are fine and well away from the river. I just hope it stops raining up-country so the water will recede.
Steve, the people are so resilient as if I was in their shoes I know I would be bitching and moaning my ass off, it makes you feel like an ass when you see people like this and I complain at stupid insignificant things.
Hey Snap, they were really amazing people and look forward to going back and seeing them next weekend hopefully. Well actually if I didn't see them I would be happy, that is if they had been able to go home but I doubt it with all the rain about.
I only worry about things like the sewerage as I can only imagine the diseases and how sick the kids could become. If they were in clean water and clowning around having a ball I wouldn't blink.
Thanks for dropping by all.
- 27 September 2011 at 6:24 PM
thank you for the pictures and your comments, I am worried about my folks in Ubon and in Det Udom and have little information better than this... which helps.
- 7 October 2011 at 6:20 AM
Hi Brunty,
I am thankfull for your Blog. Not only on the flood but generally. As i am away from Ubon most of the year, it`s nice to see have a perspective on the things in Thailand.

New Album and Interview with Rob
Posted on February 12, 2008Spineshank is elbow deep in getting together their third release.How go things? Words from drummer Tommy Decker are as follows: What's up everybody!! I know its been an EXTREMELY long time since we posted on the status of the new album, and I would like to apologize for keeping you all in the dark. We are ready and eager to record. We have over 20 songs and I think they're the best we've ever written. I don't want to let too many titles leak cuz we always end up changing them last minute. We've brought some new elements to the Spineshank sound but its not a very far departure from The Height Of Callousness. I think the songs are written better and there's more variety from one song to the next. We will probably be planning a small tour right after we're done recording, just to "knock all the rust off" and try a few new songs live. (its been WAY too long since we've played!!!) After that we will probably do some shows outside of the U.S. (too early to be sure of where and when yet) and then hit the states for a "real" tour. As far as the record goes, we're still unsure as to how many songs will be on it, somewhere between 12 and 14 though. We still have a few titles that we're considering. I wish I could tell you more but all these little details seem to fall into place at the last minute in the studio (in the wonderfully backward world of s.s). My main reason for posting is too let you all know that we will be recording and getting this record out as soon as we can. I hope you all understand why it took so long. We wanted to put out a record that we can be proud of, and that YOU can be proud of. You guys have stuck with us and waited for a long time and the least we can do is give you a record worth the wait. Well I'm out, (got more songs to write) talk to you all soon.
p.s. keep posting on the message board we read it almost everyday.
July 12th, time enough to catch a few words online with Rob.
RR: Hey, how's life in the land of the 'Shank?
Rob: Hey! What's up... everything is going cool. How 'bout yourself?
RR: Pretty good, just got back from holiday in Australia myself.
Rob: Very cool.. good to hear. Damn I need a vacation.
RR: So you guys are working non-stop? Where would you go?
Rob: Yup. I don't know.. maybe the desert. I love hot weather, can't get enough of it. It's gonna be about 80 today, only thing I don't like is it's been really humid, but I can deal with it!
RR: Nicer than here ya know. In the studio every day? You must be sick of the sight of eachother by now! How much longer you got left?
Rob: Yeah, except for weekends. Writing wise hopefully not too much longer. Actually everybody is still in one piece and getting along - that's definitely a good thing... no-one has torn another person apart!
RR: How many songs you done now?
Rob: We have about 7 definitely done, the others aren't finished yet.
RR: You think fans of Height Of Callousness will dig the new album?
Rob: Fuck yeah, they better! I'm sure they will.
RR: Hey, check out the individual biogs we did when you have a minute - you remember doing this a while back?
Rob: Oh yeah, I saw that already - came out cool!
RR: Checking up on me and what I write about ya eh?
Rob: Yup (laughs). We were laughing about how everybody's fav tour story had to do with being drunk! I wonder why. (laughs harder)
RR: Speaking of drinks... been a while since you were here with Dry Kill Logic. That tour was fun huh?!
Rob: Right on! Can't wait to get back there.. it was the first time I didn't get a brutal cold when we were there... last time I actually had fun!
RR: Poison of choice?
Rob: Beer... Budweiser.
RR: Cool. So what are you up to this weekend on your 2 days off?
Rob: Drinking. That's about it. Drinking, the story of my life (laughs).

Absolut Peppar
Absolut Peppar was launched in 1986, seven years after Absolut Vodka. Besides being the first flavored vodka in the family, it was also the first flavored vodka in the world. So why pepper? Since vodka and pepper is the main ingredients in a Bloody Mary, it seemed like a good idea to make things easier for the many Bloody Mary bars popping up in Boston, New York and elsewhere at the time. The idea soon turned out as intended, both for bartenders who could now make Instant Bloody Marys, and for all the fans of the drink.
Some tips on Absolut Peppar enjoyment
Though Absolut Peppar was originally created for making the perfect Bloody Mary, it's far from the only way of enjoying it. Just take a look below!
Absolut Peppar Bloody Mary
- 2 parts Absolut Peppar
- 4 parts tomato juice
- ¼ part fresh squeezed lemon juice
- ¼ part Worcestershire Sauce
- 3 dashes hot sauce
- Pinch black pepper
- Celery stick
- Lemon wedge
Build in highball glass over
cubed ice. Garnish with lime wedge.
Absolut Peppar With Tomato Juice
- 1 part Absolut Peppar
- 3 parts tomato juice
- Lemon wedge
Build in highball glass over cubed ice. Garnish with lime wedge.
Absolut Peppar Pineapple Martini
- 2 parts Absolut Peppar
- ½ part sugar syrup
- Pineapple wedge
Muddle pineapple with sugar
syrup and shake with all ingredients. Double strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with pineapple wedge.

Facing a $1.5 million budget gap for the 2013-2014 school year, Ogdensburg City School Superintendent Timothy M. Vernsey presented the Board of Education with a list of potential budget cuts.
All of them will be devastating, Mr. Vernsey said of the cuts.
The list of potential cuts includes eliminating secondary social studies, a half-time music position, Odyssey of the Mind, a level of athletics, summer marching band, a full-time math position, a half-time art position, a full-time high school science, technology, business, early intervention reading and physical education positions, reducing French to a half-time position and cutting two staff positions at the dome.
This is on top of 8 cuts already scheduled at the end of the 2012-2013 school year, and more than 50 cuts made since 2007.
Mr. Vernsey said, if these cuts go into effect, class sizes will increase and the quality of education at Ogdensburg will decline.
The problem is not efficiency, Mr. Vernsey said.
Mr. Vernsey placed the blame firmly with the state.
The problem we are experiencing is not a local problem, Mr. Vernsey said, Its a state aid problem.
Mr. Vernsey noted that, because of cuts to education funding by the state, Ogdensburg is currently receiving roughly $1.55 million less than if funding had been maintained at 2008-2009 levels. That decrease results from the states Gap Elimination Adjustment.
The state is balancing the budget on the backs of school children, Mr. Vernsey said.
And while this years executive budget proposed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo contains a $364,634 increase over last years state aid package for Ogdensburg, it includes a $1.1 million reduction in the final amount.
The governor will tell you hes giving us a 4.4 percent increase [in state aid], Mr. Vernsey said. But he noted that, not including building aid which will be immediately directed to debt services, the district is looking at a 1.2 percent increase in state aid this year.
This simply cant go on or else youre going to dismantle public education as we know it, Mr. Vernsey said.
Ogdensburg Education Association President David G. Price said, While the problem isnt local, Im hoping the solution will be.
The school and the Education Association are gearing up for contract negotiations.
Mr. Price said the school should apply more than the proposed $1.4 million of fund balance to this years budget to preserve jobs.
If we have it, shuffle it back in, Mr. Price said.
Mr. Vernsey agreed that applying more fund balance is an option.
Can we appropriate more than $1.4 million in fund balance? I say yes, Mr. Vernsey said.
When you start doing these kinds of cuts you really get to a point where youre educationally insolvent, Mr. Vernsey said.
Mr. Vernsey said he hopes the state will kick back more money in state aid, but added that he wont know the final numbers until the state passes its budget. The state budget is due April 1.
The Board of Education voted unanimously to approve a resolution supporting the Statewide School Finance Consortiums 2013 legislative priorities, including eliminating the Gap Elimination Adjustment.

The American form of government was formed so that the average citizen could be a part of the decision making in their own affairs, even if it was in a sort of proxy way. That proxy vote is called a republic, or a form of government where representatives elected by the people, or power given by the people do the governments work. Our republic is based largely on majority rule, yet there are limitations as to what the majority can do to a minority in our form of rule. There are rights that every citizen has regardless of her or his stature in our society,
A number of times a week I watch that process taking place as city representatives, county commissioners and elected board members make decisions that affect everyone who lives in our county and even those who just pass through it.
It's my job to attend those meetings and report in this newspaper the business of the people. Sometimes the meetings are well attended by the public, other times they are not. When there are a large number of people in the audience, it usually indicates there is an item which is either controversial or a an issue a group of people have strong feeling about.
Just such a meeting took place in the county commission chambers last Wednesday evening. It was over a zoning issue and the room had a lot of people who wanted to speak to the issue. A great many wanted the commissioners to turn down the request because of what they felt were inadequate access and egress routes from a housing development. A few spoke for the zoning request.
A spirited, but very civil debate took place, with both sides speaking to the commission and to each other with great respect. For some people the issue was infrastructure development, while for others the issue was growth.
In the end the commissioners decided to grant the request, but promised to look at the road problems that are plaguing the area where the development is located. Some people were not very happy, others were pleased. But for the most part I think that most people were not interested in stopping the developer from putting in more houses, but were more concerned that the commissioners realize their grievances and address those issues.
That night was a lesson in civics; one that could have been educational for anyone. I saw an elected body (county commission) listen to grass roots input on a possible decision ( local residents) and then make a decision that protected a minority (the developer) while taking into account the concerns of the majority.
I often have people say to me "How can you stand to attend all those boring meetings?" Personally I find it to be just the opposite.. Sure there are times when some issues are mundane. Some items on agendas are much more drawn out than they need to be. Sometimes someone speaks that puts almost everyone in the room to sleep.
But what makes them exciting and interesting, and yes, even fun at times, is that what these people are talking about and taking action on is important to someone in our community and often, everyone in the county. The stories and the drama that takes place, sometimes even over securing a simple business license, can surpass any venue on television. It is true reality TV without the advertisements.
It would be good if even just once a year, every citizen took a couple of hours and went to some type of public meeting just to see how their government works. It would make us all better stewards of our way of life.

Cardiology reviews in Fort Mill
However, unlike previous times he had performed a procedure on me, he did not report back to me or my family after the procedure, and we were all left in the dark as to what he found and how the procedure went, We left that day with puzzlement and a feeling of lack of completeness of the entire procedure.. (There was also poor communication between hospital floors, nursing units, etc at this later hour of the day.)
Just after I retired in December I got shingles on my face. I had an appointment with her two weeks later and was going to ask her about the shingles vaccine. I got shingles first. She was very good about getting me in immediately, carefully looking at it and listening to my symptoms even though the pustules on my chin didn't look like shingles and a couple others did. She diagnosed it accurately and got me treated immediately."
I returned a week or so later for testing, and at that time I met with the doctor's PA,
Thank God everything turned out okay for me, and hopefully I won't have to seek cardiac treatment for a very long time. However, if that time comes, I hope I am able to see Dr. Cherukuri. I believe him to be highly competent, ethical, and compassionate. To me, that is the ideal formula for an effective and trustworthy physician.
