A/N: Welcome to "Erosion" the sequel-prequel to "Shattered." This self-indulgent story stars my O.C. Anko, who was introduced in the last story. This is basically her back story, as told to Zuko by Iroh, so if you're expecting Aang and company to make an appearance, or an extension of the "Shattered" storyline, you're going to be disappointed. If, on the other hand, you liked Anko as a character, or wondered about the scar on her left hand or about her relationship with General Iroh, this is the story for you. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go read "Shattered" first. It really is the better story anyways. I'm not really expecting a lot of readers here; I just had to get this out of my head.
This story is rated "T" for violence and mild language. It is a war story, so expect some blood shed and some death. I don't intend to get too graphic with it, but it will be there. Also it is completely A.U. with the Book of Earth. I've had to make a lot up which, in truth, makes me a little uncomfortable. The present part of the story takes place just before the last two chapters of the Book of Water. Ah well, enough apologizing. Read it or not, your choice.
Disclaimer: I own nothing of Avatar or its characters or properties; the nice people at Nick do… I'm just borrowing them for a little while. I do claim Anko for my own though. This remains true for this chapter and every consecutive chapter that follows.
Many years ago…
Her feet carried her swiftly down the hard packed dirt streets of Yopoko. Her thick black braid thumped lightly across her shoulder blades as she ran. People smiled and waved as the soon to be fourteen year old passed by; she waved back, but didn't pause, not until she rounded Market Street, not until she had a clear view of the harbor. Anko slowed to a stop, grinning as she saw it. The trader ship, her ticket to the mainland, was still anchored in the harbor. Just one more day. Tomorrow was her fourteenth birthday. It seemed as if she had been waiting for that day forever. Sometimes it made her feel so excited that she could hardly keep her feet on the ground, other times however, Anko found herself filled with a quiet sense of foreboding. She hadn't found the courage yet to tell her Grandfather of her plan. She sighed. Somehow, she knew he was not going to be pleased.
"Hey, you fat little pig, where are you going?" Anko frowned as the nasty voice broke through her thoughts.
"What's in the basket, huh?"
Anko backpedaled a few paces until she came to an alleyway.
"P…Please, those are for the inn. I need to get them home."
"All those sweetbuns are for the inn? Well, I'll just take your share. You're so fat, you don't need any."
Anko scowled as she recognized the people in the alley. Little Saki, the innkeeper's daughter, was standing on tip toes trying to reach her basket. The antagonizer holding it above her head was Torimaru, the headman's younger son. Watching silently while leaning against a wall was Shikimaru, his older brother. Anko snorted in disgust. Torimaru was seventeen, his brother was past twenty; how dare they pick on a twelve year old.
"Jump little piggy, jump!" Saki missed her basket and fell. Tears started down her face as Torimaru taunted her. "Here Suey, Suey." He started to make pig snorts at her.
Anko turned her head as the sound of running water hit her ears. Her scowl turned into a grin.
"Aww, is the baby going to cry?" Torimaru mocked as he leaned over Saki. He suddenly staggered sideways, dropping the basket of sweetbuns. "Ah…Ahh! What is this!" A big ball of mud had smacked him in the head, coating his entire left side. He wiped his face.
"Oh, sorry Torimaru. You were making so many pig noises that I thought you were a hog begging for a cool-down." The thirteen year old farm girl inserted herself between the headman's sons and Saki. She was tall for her age, almost as tall as Torimaru and she casually crossed her arms in front of her chest as she smirked at him.
"You know you're not supposed to use your earthbending in town, Anko." Shikimaru asserted as he stopped leaning against the wall.
"I know that grown men like you should be working this time of day."
"This mud smells like horse piss! I'm going to kill you, you little…" Torimaru charged the girl, only to be stopped by his older brother. Anko had fallen in to what she hoped was a convincing stance. Her earthbending repertoire was limited, but she was strong and could defend herself, if necessary. "You're lucky you are an earthbender, Anko," Torimaru spat.
"Come on Torimaru, you've had your fun. Anko's just jealous that one day we'll rule this town and she'll never be anything more than a stupid, poor, dirt grubbing farmer." Shikimaru sneered as he said the words, but the far younger Anko just sneered back.
"I'll forward your regards to my Grandfather."
The headman's sons both blanched. Kazuma was getting on in years, but he tolerated disrespect from no one, especially not young men like them. They moved to leave. "You can't hide behind your Grandfather forever Anko. We'll be around long after he's gone." Shikimaru spat out his parting shot as they both left.
Anko let out a sigh of relief, then turned to her friend. "You all right? You shouldn't let them push you around like that. Get an adult or something."
Saki brushed away her tears. "B…but they're the headman's sons and Mom says to always be respectful to them."
Anko scoffed lightly as she helped Saki to her feet. "Well my Grandfather says respect is earned, not given as a birthright." She handed the innkeeper's daughter her basket.
Saki gave her a wavering smile. "Won't you get in trouble, for using earthbending against them?"
Anko grimaced a little bit. Her Grandfather had told her early on in life that she wasn't to use her earthbending to bully or threaten people, only for self defense and only as a last resort. What made matters worse was the fact that Yopoko village was built on a dormant fault-line. Children were not to bend in town, ever, out of fear of someone accidentally triggering an earthquake. Still, questionable use of earthbending was the least of her worries. What bothered her more was the fact that Shikimaru was right. She had used her Grandfather as a threat; a habit she would have to lose if she ever wanted to turn her dream of being a soldier into reality.
They exited the alley and walked towards the Portside Harbor Inn, Saki's home. "Say Saki… do you know how long that trader ship is going to be here?"
"They're leaving at high tide tomorrow and heading to the Earth Kingdom. Hey, isn't your birthday tomorrow? Fourteen, right? I can't wait until I'm fourteen. Have you picked out a husband? Oh! You haven't fallen in love with one of the sailors, have you?"
Anko rolled her eyes skyward before casting them down towards her chatty, younger friend. "No," she answered flatly, although a touch of humor colored her tone. "I'm not thinking of marriage. Don't tell me you are?"
Saki blushed a little. "Maybe… when I'm fourteen. I want to have a big family. But Anko, then why did you want to know about the ship?"
Anko hesitated, her black eyes narrowing as she looked out over the harbor to where the trader ship was docked. Saki was a nice enough girl, but she couldn't keep a secret to save her life. If I tell Saki, there will be no turning back. The whole town will know by tomorrow. I'll have no choice but to tell Grandpa and follow through. The odd sensation of excitement combined with dread filled her. Her Grandfather had been very angry when her father had joined the Earth Kingdom Army. But it's different with me, right? I'm much stronger than Father was, everyone says so, and I'm sure once he's done being mad, Grandpa will be proud of me.
After all, Anko had been planning for this day since her father's death two years ago. Father. Even now, it hurt. Anko closed her eyes briefly. She had been eight when her father had left for the mainland, now her mental memories of him were starting to fade. But that didn't matter. She remembered the important things, like his great loud laugh and the way he used to tickle her with his beard when she was sad or scared. The way his warm brown eyes would twinkle. Anko opened her eyes. She would never see him again and it hurt. It was a constant sore, an emptiness, a hollow aching sadness. When they had received the letter telling of his death, she had cried for days. When at last her tears had dried, Anko turned to anger.
It was the Fire Nation's fault. They had killed him, and she hated them for it. Since then, whenever she was in town she had taken to hanging around the Portside Harbor Inn. She had sat and listened to traveler's stories, tale after tale, each illustrating how horrible the Fire Nation was, how brutal and wrong. She had held on to their words, feeding them to the hatred that already burned inside her; waiting for the day to come that she would be able to do something about it. She had trained herself in earthbending, practicing the simple bends she had been taught over and over again until she surpassed the few other earthbenders on the island.
Working on the farm made her strong, heredity had given her height and now time had finally granted her age. Fourteen was the age where, on Yopoko at least, kids were started to be regarded as adults. Some got married, others entered apprenticeships and Anko intended to sail to the mainland to become a soldier. She was tired of listening about how bad the Fire Nation was. She wanted to do something about it. She wanted to make a difference. But mostly she wanted revenge. Revenge for the pain and the tears, revenge for watching her Grandfather age a decade in just two short years. The Fire Nation was going to pay for what they had done.
"Anko? Are you mad at me? I know I talk too much at times. Did I say something wrong?" Jarred back to reality by Saki's plaintive voice, the farm girl realized that she had ignored her friend's question and that they had walked in silence all the way to the Inn.
Anko gave Saki a reassuring smile. "No, no, I'm sorry. I was just thinking about how much I hate the Fire Nation." She gave the trader ship one last long look. Why am I hesitating? I've waited so long for this opportunity. I can't let it pass me by. With a grin she leaned closer to Saki. "Can you keep a secret?"
Fourteen year old Anko stared as Yopoko Island, the only home she had ever known, started to grow small in the distance. She wiped away tears that wouldn't cease falling, no matter how hard she tried. Her Grandfather had not taken the news well at all. He had yelled at her, something the normally even-tempered man rarely did. He had called her a fool, a selfish, stubborn child. Anko wrapped her arms around herself in a hug. "If you walk out that door, don't even think of coming back. Do you hear me? Walk out that door and I have no Grandchild. You have no home here!" Kazuma was kind and loving and had cared for her since she was eight. She loved and respected him. She wanted him to be proud of her, not angry. I know you're worried Grandpa, but you'll see. I'm not going to die like Father did. I'll make the Fire Nation pay for taking him from us. And I'll be back before you know it, telling you all about the battles I've won. I'll be such a good soldier; you'll have to forgive me.
"Hey!" a voice shook her back to reality. "Aren't you supposed to be working for your passage?" The sailor came over and looked at her, noticing her red-rimmed eyes. His voice softened, "Homesick or seasick?"
Anko rubbed the last of her tears away. Crying wasn't going to make things better, only action would. "I'm fine;" she said firmly, "Show me what you want me to do."
Anko stared wide-eyed at the bustling Earth Kingdom port of Nalaru. It was easily ten times the size of Yopoko village. There were people everywhere and all of them seemed to be hurrying somewhere else. Voices filled the air and new smells assaulted her nose. Overwhelmed by it all, she wandered the streets haphazardly, much to the chagrin of the local populous. After the third time she was bumped into, she found a much quieter street to catch her breath in.
"Hey, look out!"
Anko whirled in time to see a large animal bearing down on her, its short strong legs propelling it rapidly down the street. It looked like a hog, only much, much larger, and its lowered head seemed to be plated. Instinctively she stomped her foot on the ground, transforming the hard packed dirt street into soft, loose soil. The creature slowed as its feet started to drag through the stuff, its own body weight causing it to sink. Within a couple of paces it was stuck.
"Hey, thanks!" A young man dressed in farmer's clothes came running up. "You're an earthbender, huh? How did you know to make the earth soft instead of trying to erect walls around it?"
Anko shrugged. "We raise jackalopes on my farm; they're too quick to try to wall in so I usually catch them this way," she explained.
"Oh yeah?" the farmer smiled at her. "Good thing too, this is an ankylohog. Their hard heads can smash through anything." The man rapped on the hog's head to demonstrate. "And once they smell food, it can be hard to stop them."
Anko smiled back, feeling more at home than she had in a long time. "Can you tell me which way is Omashu? I was told I could find a master earthbender there."
"Sure," the brown haired man attached a chain around the ankylohog's neck. Anko helped him pull the beast free. "In fact I'm heading there myself to take my hogs to market. Do you want to come along?" The young teen nodded, grateful to find someone that she had a common connection with. "These ankylohogs are such a pain, I'll be glad to be rid of them. I think from now on I'll raise something more docile."
"Like what?"
"Oh, I don't know… maybe cabbages?"
Anko followed the guard down the long hallway leading to the royal throne room. It had taken some time, but she finally had an audience with King Bumi, who by all accounts was the strongest earthbender in Omashu. The guards pushed open the large wooden doors, allowing her entrance to the King's throne room. Anko blinked. The entire room, from top to bottom, was painted in various shades of green. The King, on the other hand, was dressed in a gaudy orange outfit, the bright clashing color making her eyes water. Anko eyed the man uncertainly; this was the strongest earthbender in Omashu? He was old, even older than her Grandfather, and bent over. His hands were gnarled; one eye was oddly larger than the other and that outfit! Who in their right mind wore so much orange? Still, her Grandfather had taught her not to judge people on looks alone and she noticed that while he appeared disinterested, the King's eyes had a calculating look to them.
Anko squared her shoulders and marched forward. "Anko of Yopoko," the page announced. She paused in front of the throne, belatedly realizing that she had no idea how to act in front of a King. Should she bow or kneel? His majesty saved her the trouble.
"Yopopo, huh?" he asked in a slightly gravelly voice. Without any warning he sprang off his throne and started to do a little dance. "Yopopo, Ho! Yopopo, Ho!" he sang while Anko just stared at him dumbfounded. What kind of madhouse have I stumbled into?
"Your Majesty," the chamberlain interrupted. "Your Majesty, the young lady is from Yopoko, an island to the north."
"Oh." King Bumi stopped hopping around and sat down on the arm of his throne, one skinny leg dangling down the side and one planted in the seat of the chair. "So what do you want? Speak up. Do you want some fruit? Page, fetch this girl some fruit."
Anko's dark eyes narrowed; she had the distinctive feeling that the old man was mocking her. "Your Majesty, what I want is to be trained in earthbending so that I can be a soldier. I was told Omashu trains the best earthbenders so I want to train here."
"A soldier, eh?" the King eyed her with his odd shaped eyes. "Hmm…Nope! You're too young!" The farm girl blinked in surprise; most people overestimated her age because of her height. She was about to protest when the page returned with a platter filled with small bluish globes. Anko tried to wave him off.
"Take the fruit!" King Bumi ordered in a no-nonsense tone. Then, speaking far more gently he uttered, "It's good for you." She eyed him for a moment before filling a hand with the berries. He nodded with satisfaction, the motion causing two brightly dyed orange feathers on his cap to flop this way and that. "Good, good… now run along; back to Yopopo with you."
"Now wait a minute, I didn't spend the last two months traveling here just to turn around and go home!"
"What? You've got your fruit haven't you? Isn't that what you came for?"
Anko could feel her temper slipping. Her angry black eyes met the King's, her mouth dropped open to shout a protest when a sudden thought stopped her cold. Her grandfather used to pull this same trick whenever he was in danger of losing a board game to her. She had finally figured it out and called him on it last year; the old man had just leaned back in his chair and smiled. "Anko, there will always be people in this world who anger or annoy you, deliberately or not. If you can remember to keep a calm, cool head, even when being intentionally provoked, you will have an advantage over most people." That had been the first time she had ever beaten him at Shoji.
Thank you, Grandfather. Anko smiled pleasantly up at the King of Omashu. "Thank you for the fruit. Now, perhaps you will allow me to prove myself worthy of being trained. Give me a challenge. If I succeed, you personally will train me in earthbending. If I fail, I'll go pester someone else. But I won't fail. I am the strongest earthbender on Yopoko, after all."
Bumi leaned back on the arm of his throne, puzzled. He had been sure the child was about to storm out of the throne room, as most people did when he messed with them. Instead she had calmed down. This was turning out to be interesting. "A big fish in a small pond is still fish food in the ocean," he muttered. "So it's a challenge you want huh? Very well, follow me." Anko smiled, then looked down at her hands, still filled with the bluish-purple berries. Not seeing a place to put them, she stuffed them into her pockets before trotting after the King.
They stood in a courtyard. "There," the King gestured across the way, "see that statue? I'm tired of it. Get rid of it for me." He privately smiled as the girl walked over to inspect the stone statue. Little did the child know, but the statue was made of pure titanite. It was a type of stone heavy in metal ore, which made it resistant to bending. Even he would have trouble moving it; there was no way a young teenager would be able to do it with earthbending alone. Of course if she was extremely clever, she might find a way to get rid of it, but most earthbenders simply gave up in frustration when the thing refused to bend for them. It was a good way to burst the egos of self proclaimed "Strong" earthbenders.
Anko carefully inspected the large statue. Embarrassingly enough, the thing was of a nude King Bumi with a loin cloth as his only cover. It seemed ridiculously muscular for an old man too. No wonder he wanted rid of it! Still, the statue was… odd. Normally she could feel the earth around her, but she couldn't really sense the statue at all. She glanced sideways at the King, who was smirking at her. Her brows furrowed down. Experimentally she tried to "push" the statue, but it didn't move. Frowning, she planted her feet. Pulling back an arm, she threw a punch at it, her fist stopping a fraction of an inch from the statue's surface. That move was usually enough to make boulders into dust, but the statue didn't show any damage at all.
"Oh, I guess you're not such a strong earthbender after all," the King mocked. Anko planted her hands on her hips. All right, so she couldn't just break the thing. If he only wanted to be rid of it, maybe she could move it somewhere? She tried moving the earth under the statue. For a second, the hideous thing trembled, but then fell still. Too heavy, she thought. Apparently it had a large base buried beneath the soil. Frustrated, she leaned against the courtyard wall.
"What, giving up so soon?"
Anko scowled at him. "No," she answered. I could bury it, but then he'd probably just say that I didn't get rid of it, that I only hid it. Hmm… I guess I could try throwing the courtyard wall at it… But the stones that made up the wall were soft and crumbly sandstone. They wouldn't make a dent in the hard statue. There has to be a way. Noise was filtering in from beyond the wall; apparently this courtyard was adjacent to the marketplace.Anko's eyes widened as her frown turned into a smile. She recognized those noises.
"I don't have all day, you know," the King reminded her. The girl just grinned at him. "Just a second, your Majesty." She searched the courtyard until she found three suitable egg-sized stones. One by one, she threw them at the ridiculously muscular legs of the statue, all at the same spot. Propelled more by the bending than by brute strength, they actually managed to make an indentation in the leg. Anko used her bending to remove the weakened stone, creating a cavity in the statue's leg which was the narrowest part of the sculpture. Taking some of the berries from her pocket, she crushed them and shoved them into the hole. Purplish juice came out, staining the stone as it dripped down the leg. Anko walked backwards away from the statue, dropping a crushed berry every few steps until she reached the courtyard wall. Please, please, let this work!
Taking a spinning step forward, she pulverized the soft stone wall into dust. "Suey, suey," she called, hearing a familiar squeal-snort in response. "My hogs!" a desperate voice exclaimed. Anko raised herself up on an earthen column just before a dozen ankylohogs came charging through her opening, following the scent of the berries. Squealing and snorting, they ran straight to the statue. Unable to reach the delicious fruit they could smell in the narrow cavity, the large hogs circled and charged, smashing their hard plated skulls against the statue's legs. Mindlessly they attacked again and again. Unable to withstand the pounding, the legs gave away, the statue falling hard to the ground.
A cloud of dust obscured the courtyard. King Bumi cleared it with a gesture. "Heh, clever girl." His mostly naked statue lay in pieces, the ankylohogs rooting around in the rubble for any fruit remnants they could find. Anko grinned at him from atop her earthen spire. "Where do you want it?" she asked as she dissolved her column back into the ground.
The King of Omashu eyed the girl; she had displayed an intelligence and cleverness that was rare. But she was so young. Far too young for war. "Child, why do you want to be a soldier?"
The dark eyed girl lost her grin, her face falling solemn. "The Fire Nation killed my Father," she answered gravely. "They've killed a lot of fathers. And I know that Yopoko is neutral, but how long can that last? If the Earth Kingdom falls, won't Ozai try to take everything else?" Anko looked down at her calloused hands. She had a lot of strong, passionate feelings inside of her, but she didn't know how to express them. "I… I hate the Fire Nation. And I want to do something about it, something besides overcharging them for the produce they buy, something besides giving their ships dirty looks when the soldiers aren't looking." She raised her eyes to meet the King's. "You are the strongest earthbender in Omashu and I bested your challenge. Please, train me."
"Nope!" The King turned and stared to depart from the chaotic courtyard. "You're still too young."
"But I'm fourteen!"
"Exactly!" Bumi whirled around to shake a gnarled finger at her. "Here in Omashu we don't start training warriors until they're sixteen." He eyed her with his large misshapen eyes. "Tell me child, have you ever seen a man burned alive? The skin chars and peels, the eyes boil in their own sockets. The smell is something you'll never forget." The King straightened his posture so that he was taller than her. "Do you really think you are ready for that? Are you ready to kill; to take another man's life, to watch as the light in his eyes extinguishes, to have his blood on your hands?"
Anko remained silent for a moment, then she too straightened. "I'm not afraid. You can't scare me and I won't go back home. I will be a soldier and if that means I have to wait two more years, then so be it."
King Bumi sighed. "Very well. I'm going to apprentice you to a healer named Izumi. She tends to our returning injured soldiers. We'll just see if you still want to be a soldier after you witness first hand what the consequences are." He cocked his head to one side, a bit of the crazy look coming back to him. "All this talk has made me hungry. Care for some flambé?"

No matter where in the world you go you will be able to find people tweeting, posting, liking, poking, and tagging – all virtually, of course. Social media is an ever growing part of society and is being utilized by millions. The internet is more than a place to research information, or have a website. It is a place to create and foster relationships.
According to an article in PR Newswire, a recent study shows that one out of every six marriages is between people who met through an online dating site. That means 1/6th of marriages are because of social media. And it is not just romantic relationships that are being sought after through online networks. A wide variety of other networking sites allow people to create relationships in many forms. For instance, Facebook allows people to stay in contact with old friends and family. Lack of time is a big reason people loose contact with loved ones. Sending a "hello" through Facebook is a lot easier and less time consuming than picking up the phone, yet still allows communication to be made and relationships to continue. Social networks are also being used professionally. LinkedIn, is a site that provides a way to network with people that you have done business with in the past, as well as current and potential contacts. With the click of a mouse, LinkedIn profiles show potential business propositions any references and recommendations that you have. Facebook and LinkenIn are just a couple examples of the hundreds of sites aimed at growing webs of networks for every faucet of life. So what does this mean for running a business?
People communicate through social media in a variety of arenas (romantically, socially, and professionally). So why not reach clients the way they want to be reached? But using social media as a business tool is more that just creating a profile. Here are some tips for starting your social media strategy.
Limit your networks:
There are a lot of different social media networks out there and if you use too many, you will become overwhelmed. Start with one, and expand to two or three if you like the results. It is best to start with the networks that your clients or potential clients are already using. Do some research and see how many clients are on Facebook or Twitter, as they are the top two networking sites in popularity.
Keep your private life private:
Keep in mind that whatever you post is going to be public forever. Use discretion, and know that photos from your personal life may not reflect well professionally.
Once you are start, you can't stop:
There is nothing worse than following an inactive tweeter, or someone with no recent activity on their Facebook. Make sure to update regularly. A few times a week should suffice. But also keep in mind that there is such thing as updating too much. Don't tweet or post a Facebook update more than once a day.
Market your profiles:
Now that you are up and running on social media, make sure to include your Facebook and Twitter addresses on marketing materials. It shows your clients that you are up with the times and is just another way that they can reach you.

Product Details
The Gotama has become a ski everyone expects to be perfect, and the 2012/13 model lives up to its reputation. "As always, this ski is sick," commented a tester. "It holds an edge like a race ski. It's faster than Jimmie Johnson." The long, early rise that starts just in front of the binding allows for an exceptionally smooth transition edge to edge while maintaining impressive float, and its relative stiffness adds stability. "I found peace and harmony on this ski," commented a tester.

DULUTH, Minn. - The new Highway 210 Bridge in Jay Cooke State Park is open and may be accessed from Jay Cooke State Park.
It's the time of year to be thankful. And if you're a Minnesota sports fan, that means you really haven't had a whole lot of cheer this year. So, as a public service as the holidays approach, I thought I would take a moment or two to pen a (more or less) tongue-in-cheek look at what some people around our state have to be thankful for this holiday season. And, don't forget, they're thankful in part because they get paid even when they fail, which is a luxury you and I can't claim. OK, here we go. Ron Gardenhire, somehow still the manager of the Minnesota Twins -- What's Gardy thankful for?

The Cloquet girls basketball looked better than all of their opponents at Monday night's Lake Superior Conference Jamboree at Duluth Denfeld, much in part due to players like McMillen, who aren't very big, but can run fast. "We want to go," said McMillen, a junior point guard and also cross country runner in the fall.

Celebrating Organic Scientist Nammalvar's Birthday, a small group started from Chennai on 5th April. The route to Mailam was also well selected through Reserve Forest Area, enjoying Nature all through, Raja Marthandan drove us safely to a homely place "Pathoon Thirukural Aracholai" Mr.Velayudham welcomed us, shared his space with us and had a small conversation.(Adhi contributed well for the continuation) Later went to sleep...?! Got up early as 4.30, freshened up to start work. Saplings were assembled, sorted out as per Iyya's idea; members started working like Bees... Digging, scraping out loose soil, gathering organic fertilizer to each sapling, pouring water, placing the saplings, filling it and of course clicking photos.
All of us enjoyed working together, oops... We forgot to see the time at all, but when we felt hungry, Thinai Kanjhi was ready and hot. It was served with maangai oorugai. Deliciously filling it was, members forgot to share the tumblers for the second sitting. Velayudham Iyya took care that everyone had their fill. He was the last to have his share. His team of helpers, Vellaiponnu, Seetha, Lakshmi and two others started cooking a feast for us. Aiyya took us for a walk in his cholai, shared his knowledge of trees, its medicinal value and much more. It was a rest for our body & refresh for our minds.
Nammalvar's birthday feast was served... Sigappu arisi sarkarai pongal, varagu arisi puliyotharai, arisi noi upuma, kathirikkai kadaisal, paavakai varuval, sorakkai poriyal & pirandai thuvaiyal. Buttermilk was served to all. The day was great, it was not only tree planting, and truly speaking it was much much more..... Thanks to Veerakaalai Raja, Organiser Siva, Maasu, Manoj,Adhi, Sandhya........And each and EVERY VOLUNTEER who shared their precious time at one point of our lives.
Write up from Siva:
What is Special on 6-Mar-2014?
Every day is an important and special day for the people who always love the nature and conserve it. And everyone has their own style of celebrating the events. Being nature enthusiasts, we wanted to Celebrate Organic Agriculturist Dr.Nammalvar Ayya's birthday in a special and in our own way.
So the event discussions, started few weeks back. And during CTC-Ainthinai Roof Garden Session in Exnora Indrakumar's House, we came to know from the registrations that 75+ Years of experienced youth name Velaayutham Ayya who came from Pondicherry to participant for that event. At the end of the session one of Organizers Prasanna Ramasamy interacted with him for more than half an hour. During the conversation he came to know that he is retired Tamil Teacher and doing an Organic Agriculture near Mailam, Tindivanam. Prasanna shared the activities which our team have been doing from the past 1 ½ years. Velayutham ayya was impressed with our team's activity and invited our team to plant the saplings in his farm. And Velayutham ayya wanted to plant the selective saplings which are useful to a family and birds.
After initial arrangements, we shot an invitation to CTC and asking the volunteers to join for the Tree Plantation drive during Dr.Nammalvar Ayya's Birthday. As the birthday falls in Sunday, we planned to leave Chennai on Saturday and have the night camping at Farm and do the plantations drive on Sunday morning. Finally 25+ people have been turned up for the Tree Plantation drive. Few of them wanted to join on Sunday event. So rest of the people decided to leave Chennai on Saturday itself. As per our plan requested the volunteers to assemble at 3pm, near Aloft Hotel, Sholinganallur. I hope Kalaiselvi and Kavitha had a difficult time to reach Sholinganallur from Perambur. Hats off to you guys on reaching the venue on time. By the way Sinthu and Anitha reached the assembly point. Then all these people along with Sandhiya are boarded into Raja's car.
Regarding the saplings, it was decided to procure it from ISHA Green Hands nursery from Chengalpat. So Aravindh, Ponraj and I booked a Tata Ace from Rajakizhpakkam and started our journey in Tata Ace towards Chengalpat. Along this way Manoj and Arun Prasad joined with us in Bike. Ponraj and I were worried to travel in backside of the Tata Ace due to the hot sun. But luckily, we got the shade due to the Sun's direction. It was a great experience on travelling in back side of the Tata Ace in GST High Road. We had a thrilling experience while the vehicles are overtaken us and being overtaken by us.
After an hour of travel, we reached nursery and we started choosing the saplings. We chose 'Peepal', 'Naaval', 'Iluppai', 'Magilam', 'Mandharai', 'Bamboo', 'Neer Maruthu', 'Ainthilai Paalai', 'Neem' and 'Baadam' saplings for the plantation. Once we arranged the saplings in Tata Ace, we again started our journey towards the farm. In between we received a call from Raja who is heading ahead of us and told that they were having a Coffee and Snacks in a high way restaurant. After hearing that we started thinking about 'Kumbakonam Coffee' and 'Snacks'. So we stopped in one of the 'Kumbakonam Degree Coffee shop' and tasted the Coffee along with Snacks. After having 20 mins break, we started our journey. This time Manoj joined with us in the backside of the Tata Ace and Arun was alone riding his bike. After half an hour of journey, we met Raja's car in the highway. After seeing we guys are travelling in Open Tata Ace, Sandhiya jumped out of Raja's Car and joined with us. We resumed our job of teasing and cracking the jokes. In between Sanjeev and Adhik joined with us Tindivanam Toll Gate.
Around 7.30 we reached Kooteripattu, where we need to take deviation from the High way. So we decided to finish our dinner in that small town. As it was taking time, Tata Ace driver wanted to leave as early as possible to Chennai. So Aravindh, Manoj, Sinthu, Arun Prasad and I headed towards the farm by getting guidance from local people and Velayutham Ayya. After 20 mins of travel, we met Velayutham Ayya, with white colored cotton zippa with dothi and a solar powered lantern on his hand. He guided us into his farm and at the entrance of the Farm we arranged the saplings and paid the transportation charge for the Tata Ace. And then we walked along with Velayutham ayya with the help of Lantern light and area which is surrounded by lot's eucalyptus tree. The farm is protected by a Solar Fencing and we just bent our bodies and entered into his farm. After settling down, Velayutham Ayya started sharing his experience with us. After half an hour time, Raja along with the team reached the village and asked us the route to reach the farm. So I took the lantern and went to the entrance of the farm and received them to the farm.
After parking the car and Bikes, we headed towards the farm. Once everyone was relaxed, we kept the tarps outside of the hut. And everyone sat outside of the hut and Velayutham ayya welcomed everyone to his farm and started sharing his experience, knowledge, personal life and lot of information. It was a great session with lot of questions/ humorous questions, interactions, teasing. In between, Parthiban and Arun Prasath were started around 8pm from Chennai and Yuvanik Vikrem and Sreenivasan were commuted by Govt Bus. Once these people reached Kooteripattu, Raja and I started towards that place to pick these guys to the farm.
And we picked our friends from the Bus stop and headed towards the Farm. While returning, after seeing our car, Police gave the green signal and didn't stop us. Once we reached there, the session was over and most of the people were started sleeping there or pretended to sleep there by counting the stars on the sky. After few mins, we thought of having a walk around the farm. So we (Raja, Manoj, Ponraj, Arun Prasath, Seenivasan, Arun Prasad and I) took a tarp and walked away from the hut. In a 50mt distance, there was a building which is being constructed. So we sat there and started cracking the jokes and teasing the each and every one. But unluckily I was being teased by most of the time. More than 60% of the time, my topics were discussed. We never felt the sleep, though it was dew droppings. After we got tired of teasing, everyone was felt hungry. So we came back to the Hut and collected few snacks, bananas and water and filled our dummies and recharged our body. Again the cracking of jokes continued for the entire night without sleep.
And morning it was around 6.20am; we formed a chain and carried the saplings from the outside farm to the plantation spot. Once all the saplings have been brought there, per Velayutham Ayya's advice, we started keeping the saplings nearer to the pits. Masu and Arun Prasath started marking the new plantation spots as suggested by Velayutham Ayya. The greatest thing was that, already Velayutham ayya marked the plantation spots by digging half feet and filled them with water in the previous day. This made our job easier and our guys got two crowbars and two garden hoes. Using the crow bars, Raja and I started digging the pits further. Sinthu, Manoj, Ponraj and Anitha are helping to remove the loosed soil from the pits using the garden hoe, hand and empty coconut shells. Sandhiya, Kavitha, Adhik, Sanjeev along with few other people, started collecting the manures for the saplings. And Kalaiselvi mam showed so much enthusiasm on the fields. As she didn't get either crow bar or Garden Hoe, she started digging the pits using the strong and narrow edged wooden stick. She got the great success on this. After some time her daughter, Kavitha also joined with her mom and stared digging the pits. After seeing them, I remembered a proverb "Vallavanuku Pullum Aayutham".
After few hours of continuous work, we headed towards the hut to take relax. Meanwhile the breakfast "Thinai Kanchi" was being ready. Every one washed their hands and face and sat on the shades and started cracking the jokes until the breakfast was ready to be served in our plate. Meanwhile Raja got a call from his friend, so Raja, Manoj and I started towards Tindivanam to meet him. So we missed the chance of tasting the yummy "Thinai Kanchi". After meeting Raja's friend, we returned back to Farm around 12 pm. Meanwhile team has planted remaining saplings in and around the huts. And our gang started taking showering in the Solar Powered Water pumps.
The farm has been designed in the prime motive of utilizing the natural resources in a proper way. There is no electricity in the farm. Only source of light on night is Solar powered lanterns. They have solar power operated fencing, solar powered motor pumps and hand pumps for watering. After taking the shower, the yummy and traditional lunch was ready. Everyone started tasting the millet lunch. I hope most of the people have tasted the millet food first time in their life. The lunch menu was Sweet Pongal, Thinai Ponga, Upma, Brinjal Curry, Bitter Guard fry, butter milk and a Banana. After everyone had the lunch, we started our katcheri outside of the hut. We formed a circle and our dance master Selva from Pondicherry started performing his talents of Belly dance, Snake dance. And then we assembled there to take a group pic with Velayutham Ayya.
After taking the group pic, we assemble once again inside the hut and started providing the information about Dr.Nammalvar, his knowledge, protest, ideas and lot more information. It was a great day to get more information from a 60+ years of experienced youth. After finishing of the session, we started our journey towards Chennai. We thanked Velayutham Ayya for permitting us inside his farm and the wonderful accommodation cum food and lot of information.
And at the end we calculated the total expenses for the trip and settled the account and closed it. After that everyone started their journey towards Chennai. Nobody was feeling tired during this trip because of the enjoyment which we had. The entire trip was awesome with like minded people towards the nature conservation activity on Dr.Nammalvar Ayya's Birthday. It was a great time to listen the old legends experience and their way how they tackled the issues which they faced in their life. Velayutham Ayya shared lots of information which will be helpful for this current generation. I was proud on touching the crowbars after a long time and getting the palm skin was peeled off due to friction with the Crow bars. Those are the souvenirs for our guys who always love to touch the crowbars to dig the pits.

Chapter 2: Movement, We Have Movement
With our prediction of a late June pre order phase and likely mid July release date, we've noticed until yesterday and today, things were very quiet around the official Asus website. However, yesterday there was a new ZenPad promotional video for the ZenPad C 7.0 – Z170 Series.
Now today we're seeing some ZenPad models added into the site in various places. Considering these instances didn't exists for the past 2 or 3 weeks, we see this as significant. For us, the FCC submissions are really the tell tale situation on when you might be able to get a ZenPad in your hands. Without promotional videos and without more instances of these tablets on the Asus.com website, we were beginning to wonder about our release date predictions.
The next two day should be very interesting. If we see a lot of activity in the next few days, then we are even more confident in pre orders rolling out very soon. We need to see some promotional videos from Asus, which should lead to the marketing ramp up.

Review: Rogers Michael J DDS PC
Posted in the Greeneville Forum
#1 Jan 10, 2013
Beware this dentist Rogers Michael refused my insurance after the visit was done over, they said plainly over the phone they accepted blue cross/ blue shield its even posted at the bottom of there website page. they told me i was left owning 170.00 cash! and they were not very friendly.
#2 Jan 11, 2013
I would print out the page that says they accept your insurance. Then take them to court...just my opinion...a lot of dentist screw people over all the time..most of them usually don't care how they treat people as long as they get their money.they make more money by accepting insurance then they do cash so it sounds like someone was wanting you to pay cash just so he/she could put the cash in there pocket. I definatly wouldn't let them get away with it.
Since: Apr 11

#3 Jan 11, 2013
I have been going there for years and no problems. Have had a couple different insurances over the years. I have had bluecross/blueshield for a very long time and it is accepted but I do have to pay extra depending on what has to be done...

I have gone there for years and never had a problem. And I have Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Your plan probably doesn't cover 100% and you're paying the difference. Sorry that you can't understand your insurance plans and the details of its coverage.
#5 Jan 11, 2013
Just because they take your ins doesn't mean that your ins pays 100% and you have to meet a deductible 1st too. I worked there and they go by the book

They do good work but they are the most expensive Dentists in the world.
#7 Jan 11, 2013
Never worked there, but dentists make more on cash patients. Insurance doesn't always cover everything 100% and them "taking" your insurance just means they have a contract with the insurance company which in turn means the insurance pays on their own scale. The dentist often loses $$ by accepting insurance. For instance, a crown is $800, the insurance will pay by their scale, after the deductible and copay, so the dentist doesn't get the full $800. A cash patient on the other hand, pays the $800 in full. Depending on what materials & lab fees, Dr A. might make a profit of $50 and Dr B. might make $500. Quality of dental work is very important. You get what you pay for. They might be expensive, but I have never heard of any problems with their work.

Most Dr's have a lot of staff standing around scratching their azzes doing nothing. They have to be paid too.

if that was true they wouldn't take insurance at all no business is gonna work to lose money all the time they wouldn't be able to afford to stay open.
#12 Jan 12, 2013
If they didn't accept insurance, then they would not have any business at all. Better to be reimbursed 60% than have no business at all.

The one fault on your argument is that you assume that all cash patients will pay in full. I have seen first hand how much outstanding debt businesses write off because it is never going to get paid. And don't think collection agencies will solve it. After a set amount of time they will turn the debt back over to the business.
#14 Jan 12, 2013
I went to that Dentist one time. Couldn't believe their prices. Astronomical.
#15 Jan 12, 2013
I'm just sayin I don't see them losing money like that cuz that's money out of their pocket..why would they do that? It humors me when people like you act like your in grade school by calling people names lmao what are you gonna do next run and tell mommy..grow the f*ck up.
#16 Jan 12, 2013
I have been going to his office since I was 16. That was quite some time ago and even if insurance didn't cover all of the dental work performed he never objected to payments. I know that now they go through medical financing...care credit???...but I even take my kids to his office. Everyone has an opinion and not everyone is going to agree with who's "the best". Just find another dentist. Is it really that hard? And read the fine print in your dental coverage so you aren't surprised next time.
#17 Jan 14, 2013
He has been my dentist ever since I came to this town - many years ago. He and his staff have ALWAYS been courteous, knowledgeable, and lenient with regards to payment. I've never had a problem there with whatever insurance I had at the time OR when I didn't have ANY insurance. He may (or may not) be expensive - I don't care. You pay for quality. That's the difference between a Corvette and a Chevette. Maybe I have Chevette dental insurance because it never pays EVERYTHING. I always have to pay a little bit when I have work done or a cleaning. Just like my medical insurance.

Contract lawyers have experience writing contracts and agreements; they know the correct contract formats and legal terms to protect and enhance your rights in case things don't go as planned. Should you need to sue someone, a written contract gives the judge a basis for determining your rights. If you want to draw up a legal agreement, if you're wondering if you can get out of a contract that's gone bad, or if you believe that someone has not lived up to the terms of a contract, you should consult a contract lawyer.

Could still be the same, Ceres, I have no experience or knowledge of this in
detail. I know that the military has people that are with family support who
help the family through this awful time after a loved one's death, with the
paper work, councelling, etc. etc. Even with retirees they do this, which was a
tremendous help with my mom who was a total loss when my dad passed away at
the Kerrville VA hospital.....by the way, no escort from there to San Antonio.

The symbol was always the same - three yellow tendrils from a single point, spiralling out in a way that seems to move the longer you looked at it. The largest was on a wall by the docks, so Aloysius reckoned we should start there. When we arrived, I could feel that same fear I had felt the first time - the feeling of something beyond this world, beyond our understanding.
But apparently, not beyond the understanding of the black clad man now wandering about the site.
His eyes darted from one place to another, his mind clearly working faster than the rest of his body as he slowly paced and observed, occasionally making notes in his little book. It felt even worse with him about, if anything - he seemed to suit the unworldly nature of the place.
How could he have known about the novel?
How could he have known about the problem?
Nevertheless, he was here now. I still remember the words of the chief:
"The guy's a genius. No idea how, but he just resolves this sort of thing. Keeps himself to himself. He's on the top floor - likes the view, I guess."
Except the room he had only had a single window, and that was pointed out to the empty wilderness of beaten earth and torn electrical cables strewn across what used to be a park.
Whatever he saw in it, it wasn't anything most people could see.
I started to ask questions - initially, out of fear of the silence, but then they were more and more born of actual interest.
"How long have you done this job?"
"As long as I have needed to."
"What sort of cases have you solved in the past?"
"Strange ones - cases like yours."
"Is there anything you like to talk about?"
"Depends on the person."
"Would you like to talk about anything right now?"
He simply shrugged, and went back to examining and writing in his little book. He then moved to the car, sat atop the bonnet cross-legged, and closed his eyes. I was half expecting him to be meditating, but there was no chant or mantra coming from between his lips. I looked into the book - the pages were filled with esoteric symbols and letters which seemed to be gibberish, and numbers which seemed to crop up repeatedly and add to either one or zero, all of them placed in a strange spidery fashion around certain circled symbols - most likely the "elements" he kept referring to.
His eyes opened after around five mints of his thinking, and he dismounted the car and asked to be taken to the docks.
"Not until you tell me what you know now," I replied. I turned the car key the other way, and the engine let out a last pathetic chug before stopping. The lights in the car faded, and Aloysius was left blank.
"Very well. Allow me to demonstrate the method."

By use of simple genetic principles, our staff of scientists will analyze cheek swab samples from a child and the questioned parent to determine the likelihood of a parental relationship. While testing the mother is not absolutely necessary, in cases of questioned paternity, it can be helpful and is strongly recommended. Through the examination of well characterized genetic traits, a likelihood of the supposed relationship can be calculated. Various types of legal paternity tests are available depending on the circumstances of the parties. Any of these testing methods may be useful for immigration, estate inheritance or similar circumstances. Our client support staff will be able to assist you in determining your best option.
We do not accept samples from third-party collectors. Please call to make arrangements to have your sample collected.
Tests that are available:
- Paternity - father/child
- Maternity - mother/child
- Sibling - child/child, full/half
- Twin zygosity - child/child, fraternal/identical
- Grandparentage - grandparents/child
- Auvuncular - aunt/uncle/individual
- Immigration - individuals/U.S. resident/citizen
To order a test:
Order DNA testing for legal purposes for paternity or other relationships.

Vacationing during the holidays can often leave families uncertain of how to celebrate the festive occasion while abroad. For those who find themselves spending Thanksgiving Day on the Hawaii Islands, we have compiled a list of different events and dinners on each island available for guests and locals to enjoy.
Oahu: From the glittering North Shore to Waikiki, Oahu has plenty of Thanksgiving Day activities and outings for the family to experience. Start the day off right with a Turkey Trot in Honolulu where attendees can run 10 miles and jumpstart the calorie burning for the afternoon's feast! Enjoy an outdoor Thanksgiving picnic or pick up your own pre-made Thanksgiving dishes for take-out at the following locations: Hawaii Prince Hotel, Hyatt Regency Waikiki Hotel, Pacific Beach Hotel or Diamond Head Market and Grill. Prices for take-out orders usually cost anywhere from $80 to $150 serving around 4 to 6 people. This can be a great way for groups to enjoy a family-style meal in the privacy of their home, suite or hotel room without having to do any of the preparation. Some restaurants even cook the turkey in an imu, a traditional Hawaiian smoke pit, as well as make stuffing, desserts and side dishes with a distinct Hawaiian flare.
Those in Waikiki can attend the gingerbread village unveiling at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani to witness the Waikiki Holiday Parade on the Friday after Thanksgiving, where there are crafts, foods, and festivities to enjoy. Families can also go the Royal Hawaiian Center's celebration for hula dancing, Hawaiian music and a stunning Christmas tree lighting. Whether you are on the North Shore or in the capital city of Honolulu, the best way to kick off the holidays is to join thousands as they celebrate the season at the Thanksgiving Weekend Holiday Parade.
Maui: Ever thought about celebrating Thanksgiving on the ocean? Begin your holiday weekend with a cruise. On the Pacific Whale Foundation Thanksgiving Cruise you can feast on all the classic dishes, while enjoying live entertainment at sea.
Aside from the many fine-dining restaurants which will be offering Thanksgiving Day menus, many can also enjoy a Thanksgiving feast at the major hotels. Popular Thanksgiving buffets and dinners can be found at the Grand Wailea Hotel on the southern end of the island. The Sheraton Maui in Lahaina offers an excellent Thanksgiving Day meal.
Kauai: Similar to their Oahu and Maui counterparts, the Grand Hyatt Kauai and the Sheraton Kauai both provide Thanksgiving Day dinners with favorite dishes like roast turkey and stuffing, baked ham, mashed potatoes, as well as salad, appetizer and dessert stations. Many hotels also offer a choice of fish as well as buffets with iced seafood and sushi stations.
Recently the Kauai Community College also hosted a Turkey Roast by using authentic underground imu ovens, where guests could order Thanksgiving turkeys cooked the Hawaiian way. For more details on which local restaurants and cafes will be holding Thanksgiving Day special menus with themed brunches, lunches, dinners or multi-course meals, confirm with your local tourist office or hotel concierge.
Big Island: On such a vast island as this, there are innumerable opportunities where you and your family can enjoy the Thanksgiving feast and festivities together. The purpose of Thanksgiving week is to count your blessings, bond with your family and celebrate as a community. Whether dining in neighborhood imu turkey roasting events, helping to provide canned food for the needy, or gathering for Thanksgiving worship concerts with various faith groups, the Big Island unites as a community to celebrate giving thanks.
For guests who opt for dinner at hotel restaurants, the choices are endless. Those that are renting a private bungalow or condo can also order take-out Thanksgiving meals and serve them up in the comfort of their own living room. Favorite hotel options are available at the Hilton Waikoloa Village in the Water's Edge Ballroom. Here you can find a multitude of holiday dishes and live entertainment, with tickets ranging from $31 (children) and $79 (adults). The Mauna Lani Fairmont Orchard provides a decadent Thanksgiving Day buffet at $79 for adults and $39 for children. The Merriman's in Waimea serves Thanksgiving dinner with Hawaiian side dishes and desserts from 4:00 pm to 8:30 pm at $69 for adults and $30 for children. The Waikoloa Beach Marriot Resort & Spa employs Chef Jayson Kanekoa to design an ornate thanksgiving meal infused with other delectable Hawaii-themed dishes, like lilikoi marshmallow covered yams, and macadamia nut and sage stuffing. Tickets are $30 for children and $69 for adults.
Another well-recommended option is to try the Thanksgiving Day buffet at Humpy's in Kona, where you can pair imported beers with main dishes such as Alaskan snow crab, shrimp, turkey and cranberry sauce, prime rib, or beef. For families who prefer the take-out option for an at-home feast, Daniel's of Waimea provides a meal with all the sides for 8 people at $199. If you want to go for low-key choices in Kailua-Kona, choose the Thanksgiving menu at Denny's or the nearby Safeway where you can arrange an all-inclusive takeout order. Choosing a holiday weekend might be one of the best times to travel to Hawaii.

Arms companies will be out in force at next week's RAF conference to explore "Strategic Partnerships for Air Power". Nothing unusual about that, one might say. Military top brass from Britain and the US, plus chiefs of staff from Brazil, Qatar and Sweden, will be at events sponsored by big names such as Lockheed Martin and MBDA missile systems.
The incongruity is that the event will take place at Church House, the home of the General Synod of the Church of England. Red-faced Anglican bureaucrats protest that they no longer own the venue, which was sold off some time ago. The point is a fair one, as far as it goes. But it might have been sensible for the Church to have put restrictions on the sale, to prevent the building – which also houses the Archbishops' Council, the Church Commissioners and the C of E Pensions Board – being hired to quite such inappropriate guests.

My second favorite Irving book. (Owen Meany, #1.) Anyone who thinks abortion is a black and white issue should read this book. It is as relevant to today as it would be to the time about which it was written.
A beautiful, emotional novel.
"A timeless tale..."
I had seen the movie long ago, but it was only memorable to the extent that I recognized a few key actors; otherwise it meant very little to me. Once I began listening to the book, I found the story to be so eerily similar to social issues we face today. Not to mention it was engaging and very beautifully written.
My favorite character was by far Homer. I felt his genuineness and the complex internal struggle that he had for what he wanted to do versus what he was innately called to do.
I loved how engaged he kept me.
Both! I laughed and cried.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would gladly read another John Irving novel anytime, as this was my first.
"Deep, moving, compelling"
I found myself predicting what would happen, and then getting it wrong most of the time. The constant surprise kept me listening. Irving does a great job of showing his characters' motivations, and showing their flaws as well as their strengths.
Dr. Wilbur Larch is the best character in this book. I constantly found myself trying to evaluate his character. He is at various times pigheaded and incredibly stubborn, while at the same time kind, loving, and devoted to his cause. He is also an incredibly skilled doctor, who always believes in doing the right thing.
Warning: This book is, at times, not for the squeamish. I have a fairly high tolerance for graphic descriptions, and I found myself wincing and saying "eeewwww" at a couple of different parts that describe Dr. Larch's adventures as an obstetrician in the early 20th century.
I also love this book because it tackles the delicate subject of abortion, and does it admirably. Irving clearly feels strongly about the subject (I won't tell you what position he takes, because I want you to read this book), and he presents a great case for his point of view.
Lover of historical fiction. I have turned to audiobooks to supplement scare reading time, amidst a busy job and parenting.
"Top notch all around"
I just started reading and listening to John Irving. This guy is amazing. I loved so many things about this book. I love how human his characters; and their flaws make you love them the more. My daughter spent the first year of her life in an orphanage so I was super interested to read about institutional care, and Irving's portrayal of the mind of an orphan. Many characteristics resonated from my own experience. He has some unforgettable lines. This book is one of the best among the dozens I've listened to in the last two years.
I liked the movie The Cider House Rules, and thought I'd check out the book, since the book is almost always better than the movie. This is one case where sadly that is not true. After listening to 8 hours of this horribly depressing story, including at least 30 minutes devoted to a picture of a woman having intercourse with a horse, I gave up.
Irving's purpose seems to be to take every good nostalgic thought you have about the past and cut it open to show you not only its dark side, but it's innards as well. In some of his works, this is revealing and interesting. Here, it serves only to shock and disgust. I wish I hadn't wasted my credits on this dreadful disgusting book.
"Grover Gardner is the best."
I love Gardner and John Irving and they work well together. The story focuses on the issue of abortion and does display both points of view from different characters.
"Just "RIGHT""
I loved this book. Wilbur Larch is one of my favorite literary characters of all time now. He shares many of my same views on abortion and religion. When I purchased the book I had no idea what I was getting into, but what a surprise it was fantastic. I listened to it frequently at work and alot of it was awkward for a co-worker to walk in during, but aside from that the narration was wonderful. I want to listen to more books read by Grover Gardner just to hear his voice again.
"Well worth reading."
This was recommended to me by a friend. I did enjoy it a lot and I had a lot of fun discussing it with my friend. It hit home to me in a lot of personal ways. It was very well written and a classic. It is currently worth reading. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
"This book dawdles"
Definitely not John Irving's best. Though filled with vivid characters and creative expression, the story moves at such a snail's pace it seems to never get off the dime. This book is badly in need of forward momentum because it runs 24 hours long.
See my review on John Irving's book The Fourth Hand. You'll be much happier with that title.
"Insights into reproduction"
This book has many interesting facets: part soap opera, part love story, and partly a passionate plea for tolerating abortion. Primarily, it is a treatise on the need to treat women and lovemaking with dignity and discretion. It could use some editing for excessive length, however.
