Bangalore, Aug 27: Hubli Tigers are ready to roar at the Karnataka Premier League 2014 (KPL) Twenty20 tournament which gets under way tomorrow (August 28) in Mysore.
At a glittering ceremony last night (August 26), the Tigers unveiled their team jerseys, anthem and also announced all-rounder B Akhil as their captain in the presence of legendary batsman GR Viswanath, team owners, Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) officials, sponsors and the players.
Tigers franchise is owned by Sushil Jindal of Jindal Steels with Anand Dayal Dadu of Anand Sweets as the co-owner.
Tigers will begin their campaign on Friday (August 29) with a game against Mysore Warriors. KPL has seven teams in the fray.
Captain Akhil said they are the best fielding side in the league and that would give them edge over their rivals. The skipper also vowed to play a ruthless cricket.
"We are the best fielding side in the competition. This will help us go all the way to the title. Our motto is to play ruthless cricket," the right-handed all-rounder Akhil said.
Viswanath called upon all players to play hard but fair on the ground. He told them not to have any ugly incidents on the field which were becoming a common sight in international cricket in recent times.
"Play hard but I don't want to see any ugly incidents on the ground. I wish Hubli Tigers all the best," Viswanath said.
"All our players are extremely enthusiastic and motivated to play for the Hubli Tigers team and have been giving their best in all the practice sessions. We are extremely confident to put up a great show in the tournament and are confident of winning the cup" said Sushil Jindal.
KSCA secretary Brijesh Patel saw lot of energy in the Tigers. "I see a lot of energy in the team. May be it is because of Anand Sweets," Patel joked.
Tigers will don dark blue jerseys in the league. One of their star batsmen is KL Rahul, who was part of Karnataka's hat-trick title triumphs (Ranji Trophy, Irani Cup and Vijay Hazare Trophy) last season. Wicketkeeper-batsman CM Gautam, also part of Karnataka's three successes, is the mentor of the team. Sanath Kumar is the coach.

"The cards came printed on heavy paper and the colors were bright and fun. I ordered them for my daughter's birthday. Everyone that saw them loved them. The picture on the card made them even better. I would buy from tiny prints again."
"Almost every person who has received the card has specifically told me how amazing they think it is. Many said it was the best invitation they've received. I choose not to use a photo and instead included the text "This message will self destruct in 3, 2, 1..." in that space. This card definitely has set the tone for a super spy party."
"This card came out so cute/ i changed around the font and some of the colors a little but that was just my preference. I have gotten a ton of compliments!"
"I purchased these for my sons second birthday and they came out fabulous! Everyone loved them. Will definitely be ordering more invitations from TP in the future!"
"This card was so cute! I really liked that I could add my sons picture and it was really easy to create the card. The picture makes it a nice keepsake for family. I received many compliments. The order arrived much earlier than the estimated arrival date so that made it even better!"

US women qualify for final after re-running 4x100-meter relay
The U.S. team made the most of its second chance to qualify for the women's 4x100-meter relay final, recording the fastest time of the day in a solo re-run before the night session began.
The Americans dropped the baton during the morning preliminaries and appeared to be out of contention.
But track officials upheld the U.S. protest because Allyson Felix was jostled as she tried to hand the baton over to English Gardner.
Because relay finals must be limited to eight teams, the Americans were called back to run all by themselves, in the same order and in the same lane.
Their goal was to beat the time of 42.70 seconds run by China. They posted a time of 41.77, almost a second faster than the target and narrowly in front of Jamaica, the fastest of the automatic qualifiers in 41.79.
Their time marked the second-fastest 4x100 in the world this season. The fastest time this year was Germany's 41.62 in July.

Read an Excerpt
When life is HARD
By James MacDonald
Moody PublishersCopyright © 2010 James MacDonald
All right reserved.
Chapter OneWhat Are TRIALS?
I enjoyed athletics from my youngest days and played competitive basketball into my late thirties. Other than bumps, bruises, and sprains, I can't remember health problems of any kind. In my forties, yearly visits to Mayo Clinic were simply routine. At the end of my regular checkup in the fall of 2008 the doctor added these words:
"Your PSA (prostate-specific antigen) count has gone up again."
A review of the past four years revealed a pattern that finally got someone's attention. My count had gone from 1.3 to 1.8 to 2.2, then 2.7 and now was 3.1. Counts do fluctuate in men my age, but healthy men tend to have very low PSA counts. The regularity of this pattern had seemed significant to me, and I remember wishing the doctor had made a bigger deal about these counts earlier. But I also knew that PSA counts aren't always related to cancer, but can indicate other, less ominous health issues like enlarged prostate.
My doctor was now saying, "This is a problem, we've got to check it out further."
That meant scheduling a prostate biopsy. The experience was somewhere between a punch in the face and dental work without Novocain. Having a robotic pincer shootthrough the wall of the large intestine to collect dozens of tiny specimens of the prostate produces an experience of core-pain unlike any other. I kept hoping that the level of discomfort I was going through was an indication of the accuracy of the test.
Days later, I was taking a taxi home from the airport when I remembered I hadn't called to get the results from my test. Just another matter on my to-do list, I thought as I called the urologist.
I reached him by phone, and with few preliminaries he said, "You've got cancer."
Such a small statement with such large effects-life-altering. In retrospect, I think many of us actually live expecting "the other shoe to fall" at some point. We realize at some level that we are not exempt from potential disaster, and we tend not to wonder if but when and how our number is going to come up. Those of us who know we are on the fallen world merry-go-round know that we won't get through life without some turns in the difficulty spotlight. But when the switch is thrown and the blinding light of a diagnosis like cancer hits us, the next moments are surreal.
There I was, alone (the taxi driver didn't need to hear my announcement), speechless (I immediately found myself thinking, Can this be happening to me?), and dumbfounded (What do I do now?).
When I arrived at home, I was still alone. The kids were away and Kathy was visiting family in Canada. The other realities in my life clamored for attention. I had to prepare a message and be ready to deliver it. I concentrated on that immediate task. But I don't remember the topic of that sermon.
After church, I met with my kids who were in town and brought them up to date. It was hard to tell them, but I felt I needed to keep them informed. We prayed together, and I listened to my children trying to put their shock and trust into words before God. Kathy arrived shortly and I told her-I had not wanted to share news like that over the phone if I could help it. Then I got on Skype and talked to my daughter Abby, who was away at college, and let her know what was happening in her dad's life. Those were difficult moments for both of us.
Once my immediate family had the information, the news began to ripple through the congregation. Suddenly, twelve thousand of my best friends were responding, calling, and praying. Their desire to care for me was both comforting and yet also an added burden.
I began to look at treatment options (mentioned in the introduction). I learned the cure rate with radiation treatments is almost the same as the cure rate with surgical intervention, without surgery's significant risks. I looked into various kinds of radiation and eventually chose proton-radiation therapy. This is cutting-edge technology that is still not widely available (which explains our journey to California). By God's grace our insurance covered this method of treatment and the next phase of dealing with this challenge began.
As a subtext (and perhaps a central lesson) in this episode, all these events happened in the weeks leading up to a planned trip to Israel. This was to be Kathy's and my first time in the Holy Land. The medical people advised me that the treatments for cancer could certainly wait long enough to enjoy a true trip of a lifetime.
Our intimate group of 170 friends walked and worshiped together in the places where Jesus spent most of His time. I was reminded over and over that God's plans were far greater than my immediate problems. That week in Israel allowed me to get in touch with Jesus' power to heal and sense His presence in an intimate way that built my faith for the months to come.
I discovered I had cancer in October. By the end of December, arrangements had been made for treatments in California. The study and sermons that led to this book began to take shape and an opportunity opened for me to preach in Pastor Greg Laurie's church near my treatment facility. If these lessons seem fresh, they are. I'm learning them and confirming them day by day in my own life.
As we lay a foundation for our study, let's establish some facts that you've just got to know about trials.
In the New Testament, the Greek word trial means to prove by testing; an event that demonstrates the genuineness of your faith in Christ and refines the quality of your spiritual life. So let's agree on this definition:
A trial is a painful circumstance allowed by God to change my conduct and my character.
My conduct-that's what I do. And then to a deeper level, my character -that's who I am.
Trials are about what God is adjusting in the actions I choose, and what God is doing to the character that helps me choose those actions. Several biblical terms for trials are actually interchangeable: suffering, hardship, tribulation, chastising, and discipline. Trials are hard times!
These hard times vary both in intensity and duration. Tribulation can take you by storm, fast and furious. Or a trial can stretch over months or years or, in some instances, decades. It can be small and irritating or huge and shattering.
The one thing we know for sure about trials is that everyone experiences them.
In fact, if you're one of God's children, you're going through a trial right now. Some size. Some shape. It is the most difficult aspect of your life: Is it physical? Is it relational? Is it economic? Is it emotional? Is it circumstantial?
A FATHER'S DISCIPLINE Hebrews 12 is a great place to start answering our question "What are trials?" Read our Scripture passage on the first page of this chapter-better yet, open to this passage in your own copy of God's Word and track the flow of thought. Later you can write what you're learning in the margin of your Bible or write in the margins or the appropriate lessons in "Go for the Gold" (chapter 6) so you can return to these life lessons again and again.
Pick it up at verse 5b: "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves.... It is for discipline that you have to endure.... For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?" (vv. 5b-7, italics added).
Sometimes when you're studying a passage, you think to yourself, I'm not sure what it's about. No room for doubt here. The subject is discipline, a term that describes God's involvement in the hardest part of your life.
The word used for discipline in Hebrews 12 is translated teaching in Titus 2:11, 12a, where it says, "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us" (NKJV). When our eyes are opened to the glorious truth that is found in Jesus, it is to teach us some stuff.
Discipline is training. It's instructing, like what parents do with their children.
A couple years ago a TV network news program did a five-night feature on evangelicals. I just had to watch and find out what they think about me and my friends [??]. Well, as you might guess, they totally didn't get us. On Thursday night, they did a feature on "the role of corporal punishment in childrearing." Right-spanking. So they got this "expert" on childrearing that said, "Nothing good could ever come from causing a child pain."
Now I'm aware and sensitive to the horrors of child abuse, but step away from the excess and the evil and consider that statement in its rawest form: "Nothing good could ever come from pain." Really? Nothing? Like the birth of a child, or the renewal of a forest after a fire, or the signal that something is badly wrong in my health and needs to be attended to?
No good from pain? What about the salvation of mankind?
Fact: Pain is often a central part of God's purpose in this world. God allows and even causes pain in our lives. It's one of the tools He uses regularly to get stubborn sheep to greener pasture.
I'm fond of saying that "God's love is not a pampering love; God's love is a perfecting love." God doesn't say, "Here, Billy. Have some more cupcakes. Take the one with the extra icing" That's not God. Your grandma, maybe, but not God.
Are you saying that God spanks His children? Ah, yes, He does. The "expert" on the news program back-pedaled and said God only disciplined His children in the Old Testament. Well, welcome to Hebrews 12-"whom the Lord loves He disciplines" (v. 6 NASB).
For real! God spanks His children. He lifts the paddle and applies it with force in the hopes that the pain will bring us to an awareness of His deeper purposes. When He saved us, He started the process that He will continue till the day we die. Salvation is just the beginning. The only reason you're still here is because God is working on you. When His work's done, it's heaven for you, baby.
Hebrews 12:5 asks a funny question: "Have you forgotten the exhortation ...?" In other words, "Have you drawn a blank?" "Where have you been?" If you look in your Bible, you see that part of the verse is indented, signaling that this is a quote from the Old Testament; Proverbs 3:11, 12 to be exact. Interestingly, this is the most frequently quoted Old Testament passage in the New Testament. Nothing else even comes close. Over and over New Testament authors quote this portion of Proverbs 3. No wonder then that the author of Hebrews asked, "Have you forgotten?" The writer is asking, "How could you not know this? This is critical information that cannot be neglected."
And here's the instruction: "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord" (v. 5b). Don't think lightly of what God is doing. Go ahead and do some heavy thinking. A contrasting word is used nearby in Hebrews 12:2 in the familiar verse, "Looking to Jesus ... who ... endured the cross, despising the shame." The word despising is an antonym in the original language for the word translated here as regard lightly. Jesus despised the shame of the cross-He didn't regard it lightly. We can certainly be tempted toward shame in our trials, but we have Jesus' example to help us endure.
When God moves toward you to make some changes in your conduct and character, do not be casual or indifferent about His approach. Don't be sarcastic or blasé, As if it really mattered, or I'm getting kind of weary of this, or I don't think God really knows my limits, or the manifold number of nonsensical ways we communicate to God that we don't appreciate what He's doing in our lives. He's God! He's a Committee of One. He doesn't check with anybody and He knows what He's doing.
Don't take His work in your life lightly. Don't be flippant or casual or indifferent when trials come your way. If they are not already here, they are coming.
As an experienced pastor, I've seen the full scope of human hardship. No matter which part of those painful hardships is yours this moment, you cannot despise or regard lightly what the Lord is doing.
"Nor be weary when reproved by Him." The word reproved sometimes means to convict. The tone is intense, even harsh. When the goal is character transformation, God doesn't move toward you with kid gloves. He's coming in hard. He's taking it strong to the hole. You don't have to guess that He's around. Being reproved by Him is an intense thing; but we are not to be wearied by it as though nothing good was ahead. Over and over the Bible connects weariness and losing heart. When we are exhorted not to be weary, it is as if to say, "Don't get down about this. God has a plan, so keep looking up and expecting something good to come from this." When God comes toward you with something hard, that makes life hard, don't get down and give up, because "the Lord disciplines the one He loves."
Have you ever bounced a check? It's not a great day when that happens. You didn't have the money to cover the purchase to begin with and when the bank sends the check back, it has a fine attached! Good luck collecting on that. It's a circular problem, since one notice just follows another.
First of all, it's embarrassing because you didn't have the resources you thought you did.
It's frustrating because they tack on those extra NSF (not sufficient funds) charges.
It's difficult because you've got to work it out with the bank and work it out with the merchant. The whole thing is a huge hassle.
A trial is like a bounced check. You feel stuck with a problem that you don't have the resources to solve. The temptation is to rant to God: "Do you see me over here, God? Do you see that I don't have what it takes to get through this? Are You paying attention? I'm about to bounce a lot of checks here. I don't have the resources. I don't have it emotionally. You're rattling my faith, God. Don't leave me in this mess."
Those expressions of desperation you feel so awful about are in fact the exact truth that God has been trying to bring to your attention. You flat out don't have the resources. He wants you to come to the place where you get before Him in a deeper way and tell Him what's He's known to be true all along: you are in wav over your head.
God is taking you to a new level of dependence, and He knows what He's doing.
Why does the Lord discipline me? Verse 6 says, "For the Lord disciplines the one he loves." Well, there you go. He disciplines you because He loves you.
You might be tempted to think, Well, if You loved me, God, you wouldn't leave me over here with empty pockets and bounced checks.
Let's get a better concept of love before we go on. Far from abandoning us when we're going through difficult trials, God moves toward us. Far from folding His arms; God is rolling up His sleeves. He's getting ready to do something in your life that you haven't previously been willing to let Him do. And He moves toward you. Isn't that good news? God is moving toward you. In fact, trials are proof of love. That's the point our Scripture is trying to teach us.
Never forget this: The motivation for God's action in allowing your life to become so hard is love. He loves you. His eyes are upon you. His attention is toward you. All of His thoughts are about you. The goal of all your pain is your restoration to a deeper sense of His love. But keep in mind that this is biblical love-a love that is willing to take you through a valley to get you to a hilltop. No pseudo solutions or quick fixes with God. He is going for change in you at the deepest and most lasting level.
I was blessed to have great parents. But they'd be the first to admit they weren't perfect. One time when I was eleven years old, my brothers and I were playing basketball at a schoolyard, maybe a quarter of a mile away from the house. Suddenly one of those summer storms came up and KABOOM!-huge thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down. Now, to an eleven-year-old, this was all swweeeeet. Basketball in the rain. But our dad was home alone, terrified for us. I get it now. Look at it outside. My boys-where are they!?

Research for 2003's The Lawyer 100 has confirmed what the City has long suspected about Herbert Smith: that corporate really is king.
Crucially, the firm posted identical revenue per partner figures in its corporate and litigation departments, and despite the downturn corporate turned over significantly more.
Both departments had a revenue per partner of £1.24m, but corporate brought in £103m, which was 43 per cent of the firm's total turnover. Litigation generated £91.76m, which was 38 per cent of turnover.
This is not to say that Herbert Smith's litigators did
not have a good year, but despite a mini-litigation boom and a serious tail-off in corporate work, the balance of power stayed with the corporate practice.
In 2002 the firm posted a corporate turnover of £101m, 45 per cent of the firm's total.
In real terms, corporate turnover of £103m for 2003 is down because, unlike in 2002, the 2003 corporate figure includes antitrust work.
Litigation, which brought in £81m last year (including merger support and contentious antitrust) is significantly up this year at £91.76m without antitrust. But, as a proportion of turnover (38 per cent 2002-03 compared with 36 per cent in 2001-02) the change was negligible.
The figures confirm the meteoric rise of corporate at Herbert Smith over the last five years.
However, on the downside, client conflicts will inevitably increase. As is already happening at Lovells, the interests of the litigators will have to be subjugated to the needs of the corporate client base.
Herbert Smith: power shifts to M&A partners
Research for 2003's The Lawyer 100 has confirmed what the City has long suspected about Herbert Smith: that corporate really is king.

Me and my Mace
A girl who never stands up for herself finally has enough and uses her mace against these two 'jocks' who knock her books from her hands.
Reeling from the events that just took place. I wish I had not ever used my mace Just one spritz was all it took To make a fool look like a schmuk While gathering up my books and pen People gathered around those foolish men A crowd had started to form I turned around and ran to my dorm. I left the men I sprayed lying on the ground For they were cruel and dropped my books while I never made a sound.

Shall Asgard Survive?
Asgard City – the Palace of Odin
Some time in the future
The chamber lay in the deepest and most inaccessible part of Odin's palace. First down interminable winding stone steps and then through a labyrinth of slowly descending ever narrowing corridors. Millennia ago Asgard's Liege had locked and barred the chamber with only the grand vizier as his witness. Incredibly no one had come to the chamber again, at least until now.
Nothing Asgardian, not even the Destroyer armour itself, had ever been made more secure than the contents of this chamber. An ancient spell placed upon the entrance door and huge lock made them and the walls around them impervious to physical attack. The same potent spell had also made the chamber proof against even the most persistent interdimensional intruder. The spell was not just to keep intruders out but also to keep something else in.
The weapon lying so long in the chamber had only ever been used once on that fateful day when the evil aspect of Infinity had foolishly sought to challenge Odin's supremacy over the heavens. Odin had hoped it would never be used again, though he could not bring himself to destroy that which he played a part in creating. Possibly the weapon could no longer be destroyed by anyone.
Legend had it that of all the Asgardians who had ever lived only Odin in his prime could safely wield the great weapon though when the time came to use it even he had struggled not to be seduced by it. At a later time Odin had created enchanted wrist bracelets intended to make it possible for his son to wield the weapon if this became necessary. Later still Odin had told Thor of the weapon.
Now on the eve of Asgard's darkest ever hour the huge chamber door lay open. Thor now the Lord of all Asgard stood just outside. A magnificent two bladed axe untarnished by age and with it's blade shining far brighter than any ambient light would allow was just inside the chamber. The OdinAxe just as it must have been when first created. It was held in some form of casing of enchanted metal and heavy oak and surrounded by a containment field but as Thor looked on the wood and metal vaporised and the energy containment field dissipated. In its present form the OdinAxe was a little too large for an Asgardian god to wield comfortably, though it could assume any size that its wielder chose. No longer contained the axe remained in a levitated position about six feet above ground level.
Thor was reminded momentarily of other axes he had either seen or heard of such as Skurge's axe and the axes of the former heralds of Galactus, Terrax and Morg. But these all paled into insignificance beside this magnificent weapon.
Lord Thor moved into the chamber and without any prompting on his part the great axe flew into his hand and reduced to a more comfortable size. Thor sensed immediately the seductive evil in the axe. Odin had warned him of this.
As possessor of both the Odinpower and the Rune Magics Thor was now perhaps more powerful than even his father had been, save possibly Odin at his prime during the great Silver Age. Even so caution had dictated that the Odinson use the enchanted wrist bracelets as his father had intended.
Even with the dampening effect of the bracelets Thor could feel the aggressive influence of the axe trying to exert dominance over him. It was stronger than the innate will of the destroyer construct had ever been.
Thor pondered on why a creation of Odin's could be so seductively evil, but then remembered his father's words as if they had been spoken yesterday. With all of the nine worlds and much more under threat from Infinity, Odin had temporarily allied himself with the elemental beings Ymir and Surtur. The axe was a creation of all three of them and certain other forces that had existed at that time. Thus it contained an element of evil, though ultimately it had served its purpose.
As Thor moved up into the light of day with axe in hand he sensed it drawing ambient energy from its surroundings and willed it to stop. Thor decided to "trial" the axe but not in Asgard itself.
Deep Space
In an uninhabited star system Thor threw the axe at near light speed straight through the systems yellow sun. The axe returned dutifully to Thor's hand and was not even warm to the touch. During the second or two that it had taken to pass through the sun the axe had, without Thors bidding, greedily absorbed much of the sun's energy leaving the star a pale imitation of it's former self – much reduced in size and luminosity.
Thor then prepared to carry out a further "test" with the intent of using the axe to take the energies from a relatively nearby star about to go nova and teleporting them to several relatively close yet dying stars. Thus breathing fresh life into them. However before the test was complete an unseen and undetected force smashed the axe from Thors grip and gathered it up. Then taking control of the axe it unleashed the full force of the super novae directly at Thor.
Possessed of both the OdinPower and the Rune Magics it is highly unlikely that the mighty Thor could be injured by a super nova explosion. However with the possibility that the axe's usurper had added unknown energies of its own the son of Odin opted for caution. Thor did two things in the mere moment of time available to him. First he teleported a modest distance away to reduce the impact of the supernova energies and second he used his hammer boosted by the Odinpower to erect a most formidable force shield about him. . It may seem odd that possessed of all the OdinPower Thor would still use his hammer but the bond between them was so strong that it was unlikely he would ever cease to carry it with him.
Thors precautions proved more than sufficient as the Thunder God tensed for an anticipated second assault. It did not come immediately. If the attacker thought that gaining mastery of the OdinAxe would be a simple matter it severely underestimated the weapon. As Thor watched on the aggressor was clearly distracted as it struggled to assert control over the great axe.
Thor's assailant struggled mightily to control the OdinAxe. At the time of its creation the Axe was programmed only to accept control from Odin or (possibly and at a later time) Thor. The Thunder god being a mere stripling at that time. Even then the axe would only submit if their will was strong enough. Millennia ago the axe had still sought to seduce Odin when he employed it, and other things, to turn aside the evil aspect of Infinity. Most recently the axe had also sought to exert dominance over the mighty Thor but had begrudgingly recognised the Odinson as its master. In this regard the dampening effect of the wrist bands Odin had made for Thor long ago were helpful though not decisive.
Thor's assailant knew the history of the axe as he had been there and played a part in its creation. Not unreasonably therefore, he expected to be able to exert his influence over it. But it was not to be. Responding to the desperate need of the time both Surtur and Ymir and others now thought long gone had played a part in the axes creation. Nonetheless it was Odin's enchantments that had been predominant.
Thor thought that Surtur looked somehow different. It had certainly been a very long time. Set in the elemental's forehead was a gem that Thor knew to be the power infinity gem – one of those gems that made up the Infinity gauntlet. But it was more than his – Surtur had surprised Thor in obtaining the OdinAxe and the fire giant had not been known for stealth in times past. On Surtur's back was a huge sword that could only have been the mystical Twilight – sword of legend.
In Surtur's grip the OdinAxe had grown greatly in size though whether this was of Surtur's or the Axe's own doing was unclear. Then the Axe began to glow first red hot, then white hot, then into incandescence and then beyond reaching temperatures in excess of anything naturally occurring. Temperatures at which even the most powerfully enchanted metals should be vaporised. It seemed an odd thing thought Thor since one such as Surtur was a creature of fire and used to intense heat. Still perhaps even an elemental fire demon had its limits, temperatures at which even it could be uncomfortable.
At that moment Thor threw his hammer the mighty Mjolnor directly at Surtur's hand. It had been some time since the Lord of Asgard had thrown the hammer in anger and he rejoiced in it. Also seeing no reason to hold back he threw the hammer with the full force of the OdinPower behind it.
Surtur cried out in pain momentarily releasing his grip on the OdinAxe. Whether this was due to the force of mjolnor's impact or the heat generated by the OdinAxe or a combination of both was unclear. The OdinAxe moved like a thing alive. Spinning about with the middle of its shaft as an axis the Axe spun so quickly that it formed a hemisphere of pure raw sharpness and unequalled cutting power. Surtur sought to brush it aside with his huge tail but instead cried out in pain for a second time as his great tail was completely shredded.
When Odin and others created the axe it was intended to cut through any known physical object enchanted or otherwise. Though advance sciences had created new metals since that time there still existed no physical object that could resist the axes cutting power. The thickest Adamantium might as well have been hot butter to the Axe of Odin. It had even been created to slice through energy fields.
Giving up, at least for the moment, on the OdinAxe Surtur noticed that the hammer of Thor had been thrown with such force that after hitting him it had travelled a very great distance. It was now returning to its master on a curved path avoiding going too close to Surtur. The elemental saw his chance and sought to draw the hammer towards him. Mjolnor continued to return to its master but at much reduced speed as Surtur drawing increasingly on the power infinity gem sought to gather it for himself. As Surtur drew evermore on the power gem Mjolnor's speed became painstakingly slow.
Is there a power anywhere in the Universe that is so great that it can keep the hammer of Thor apart from it's master? Particularly when it's master is possessed of both the OdinPower and the Rune Magics? If there is such a power it would need to be greater than even the apocalyptic power of Surtur utilising the power infinity gem. A power which proved unequal to the task. To put the matter beyond doubt Thor teleported the minor distance to his slow moving hammer to recover it.
Surtur was enraged at his lack of success. He grasped his great sword Twilight from behind his back. "Keep the disgusting axe" he yelled "and your insignificant hammer." "What need have I of them when I wield the greatest sword in all existence?"
Sheathing mjolnor in straps on his back Thor grasped the OdinAxe in both hands and for the first time in the battle mystically increased his size to equal Surtur's 1,000 feet. At Thor's mental instruction the OdinAxe increased it's size correspondingly.
Drawing without reservation on the power infinity gem the giant elemental thrust at Thor with the legendary sword spoken of only in whispers throughout more than one Universe. The inconceivably powerful OdinAxe sentient in it's own right lashed against the great sword Twilight. Both Thor and Surtur held firm. The two huge and powerful frames locked together as Surtur kept on drawing on the power infinity gem.
But the first to give was neither Surtur nor Thor and most certainly not the magnificent OdinAxe. As Thor and Surtur thrust at each other again and as OdinAxe and Twilight struck each other with galaxy shattering force small cracks and fissures began to appear in the great sword. As sword and axe clashed against each other again with the same galaxy shattering might Twilight finally shattered.
Surtur looked on at Thor with pure malevolence. "Do not think that because you long ago broke the cycle and the dominance of those who lived above in shadow, that the enmity between us is over" said Surtur. "That we both ultimately survived the Asgardian Ragnorak does not put an end to the hatred I bear you, not a thousand Ragnorak's would do that." "I came to destroy you son of Odin, while you were far distant from Asgard." continued Surtur "and to take that which I played a part in creating."
"I have been gone long and have learned much in that extra-dimensional place you know only as the "fires of evil" but it is time for me and my allies and followers, both new and old, to return to the Asgardian plane." threatened Surtur "there to reside once more." When Thor re-created Asgard and eventually several others of the nine worlds a new Muspelheim certainly did not feature in his plans. Surtur left this fact unstated.
With that the monstrous elemental reformed the great sword and Thor noticed that he had totally regenerated his destroyed tail. Then Surtur left the field of battle teleporting away interdimensionally.
Thor returned to Asgard. His testing of the power of the OdinAxe had been more thorough than anticipated and the great axe had not been found wanting. Still he was troubled – the sword Twilight was capable of causing rifts in entire dimensions even without drawing on the power gem – had Surtur been holding back? – it didn't seem so.
Moreover Thor knew a little more of the extra-dimensional "fires of evil" than Surtur might realise. When in times past the son of Odin had sought out some of the Multiverse's most powerful god pantheons he had learned certain things he would prefer not to have known. Thor shuddered, just for a moment.
The massive dimensional rift was clearly visible from Asgard. Through it poured a stream of fire and fire demons all heading to the vicinity of where the realm of Muspelheim had once been located. On the other side of the rift was the exultant fire giant Surtur, his sword Twilight raised high. Doubtless the elemental had used the monstrous weapon to create the rift.
There was nothing ordinary about the fires that poured through the rift. They were of mystical origins and as such needed neither combustible material, a minimum flash point nor a gaseous supporter of the combustion. More than this the fires were also both sentient and malevolent. Their core temperatures beyond what might have been encountered in the fires of the former realm of Muspelheim. Some of the accompanying fire demons were recognisable as followers of Surtur while others seemed to be of a somewhat different ilk. Larger and more powerful. To the casual observer Surtur's legions appeared subservient to the larger demons and even the fire giant himself did not seem to have full control over events.
Thor Lord of Asgard stood ready. In his hand one of the greatest weapons in existence - the fabled OdinAxe which once helped turn aside the evil aspect of Infinity itself. The son of Odin raised the great Axe and it immediately began absorbing most of the oncoming fires and many of the fire demons. Thor instructed the Axe to teleport the fires it had absorbed to pre-arranged extra-dimensional locations, several uninhabited star systems comprised of huge ice worlds of varying degrees of intense coldness. Thor felt the Axe becoming very hot though not beyond his ability to hold it. Indeed after millennia of inactivity the sentient axe seemed to be relishing the conflict.
Some of the fires and fire demons managed to escape the Axe's attentions but others of Asgard stood ready for them. Among them the formidable Destroyer construct standing equal in height to Surtur and powered by the life forces of an unknown but large number of Asgardians. Thor's son from his giantess mistress Jarnsaxa, the mighty Magni, stood ready now holding his fathers hammer in hand. Thor thought that right about now he would have welcomed he support of the frost giant Ymir and his followers. But the elemental was long gone and in any case would never have sided with Asgard against Surtur.
When Thor broke the endless cycle of those who live above in shadow Surtur did not perish in the final battle. For a time he lay purposeless even semi-comatose in the great void. However he was eventually plucked from that place by those who inhabit the extra-dimensional place known as the fires of evil or sometimes the living fires of evil. At first Surtur found himself comfortable in this place among somewhat like minded entities. Still he was but one of a number of elemental fire beings of great power. Also the vast roiling sentient fires themselves proved somewhat intractable to total control. Even with his quiet recovery of the sword Twilight and acquisition of the formidable power infinity gem he was not able to fully and completely dominate this realm.
When Surtur decided to return to the Asgardian plane he found it difficult to fully extract himself from the fires of evil. Not entirely to his satisfaction, he was accompanied by some of the fire demon followers of another great fire elemental and these bore him no special allegiance.
The source from which the fires and demons came was an almost inexhaustible one and could supply far more material than was required just to re-create Muspelheim. Indeed a small part of these fires would be enough to consume and replace all that Thor had re-created. As Surtur saw the surge of fire and fire demons largely teleported away by means of the OdinAxe he called a temporary halt to the surge and the fires and lesser fire demons obeyed him. Although the gaping dimensional rift remained open.
Still armed with Twilight and with the power infinity gem Surtur stepped through the rift to confront the mighty Thor. At that moment though Surtur sensed the disintegration energies building atop the visor of the Asgardian Destroyer construct. Since the Destroyer was a weapon created to slay Celestials he could hardly ignore it.
Drawing on the resources of the power infinity gem Surtur threw the huge Twilight sword at mind numbing speed and unerring accuracy directly at the Destroyer construct's visor. Almost at the exact same moment the Destroyer unleashed it's greatest weapon the fabled disintegration beam. Caught in the beam Surtur's sword was entirely disintegrated but not before it slightly unbalanced the Destroyer moving its head slightly such that the beam went awry smashing through the gaping maw of the dimensional rift.
Surtur just barely evaded the edge of the disintegration beam as it streamed past.
It is said that nothing can withstand the disintegration beam of Asgard's Destroyer construct and indeed very few things can. But as the disintegration energies crashed into the vast roiling mystical fires on the other side of the rift they seem to anger and excite the living fires rather than quell and destroy them. So much so that the fires and certain of the fire demons came on again through the dimensional rift even against Surtur's express will.
Seeing its error the Destroyer construct led by the life force of Baldur the brave ceased its onslaught – but too late!
Raising the magnificent OdinAxe again Thor called for Magni and the Destroyer to aid him. Together the threesome launched godblast against the rift which seemed to be growing in size every second. Magni using mjolnor, the Destroyer using the life forces of the gods that powered it and Thor employing a full OdinPower blast in unison with the OdinAxe. In mere moments the monstrous rift was sealed – those coming through it pushed back to their side. The OdinAxe seemed to sing with raw power.
Even with the dimensional rift sealed Surtur, many fire demons and vast roiling masses of fire still existed on the Asgardian plane.
Holding the OdinAxe with both hands and at arms length Thor began to rotate at a speed defying description. All that could be seen was a blinding light of pure raw cutting power. In this form Thor launched into the remaining fire demons shredding all life from their impure forms and leaving only dispersed small non sentient fires.
The Destroyer, Magni and Thor all then turned their attention to a swordless Surtur. A further visor disintegration blast from the Destroyer was enjoined by bolts of anti-force from Magni and the full force of the Odinpower launched through the OdinAxe from Thor. Is there an entity anywhere that could withstand an attack of such magnitude? Certainly not Surtur.
The remaining fires of evil that had accompanied Surtur turned even more malignant seeking to suffocate Thor, Magni and the Destroyer but at best they were a minor inconvenience and easily teleported away to distant ice worlds by a Magni needing no aid from his father.
So it was that the elemental being the fire giant Surtur was no more. The power infinity gem which he had used less than efficiently seemed to just float near where Surtur had been. The OdinAxe seemed to be manipulating it's master to move towards the gem. Now there was a thought - the OdinAxe with the power infinity gem embedded within it and wielded by the mighty Thor could any adversary stand against such force? But no, the gem would be returned to its rightful place – Thor of Asgard had no need of it.
When Thor had re-created some but not all of the worlds destroyed after Ragnorak he had been right not to re-create Muspelheim. In this new order there was no place for Surtur and his followers. If Surtur had not sought to return to the Asgardian plane he could have lived on among the fires of evil a place to which he was well suited. His return to Asgard accompanied by malignant fires and fire demons assured his fate.
As to the OdinAxe, would the sentient weapon meekly consent to a long containment again? Would Thor have need of this weapon again? Should the great weapon be carried permanently by Thor and Magni become the permanent holder of Mjolnor? But a Thor without his hammer is not really Thor is he?
In any event these are questions for another time and place.

A great cabin, very cozy and the hot tub was a nice surprise. The cabins are hard to find at night, but the hotel staff escorted us to our cabin on the night we arrived.

Absolutely gorgeous rustic cabin!!Posted Jun 16, 2016 on Hotels
Beautiful cabin. The real deal. Custom cabin in the mountains with a view of big sky mountain and on top of the world. Hot tub on the deck worked and just a great stay for the price vs paying the same to a normal hotel room! Hard to find at night because you are truly on top of the mountain. Summit hotel is where you checkin and their directions were so bad but we used In and out gps and found it! Solid 1.5 hour from Yellowstone and close to whitewater rafting and zip lining and skiing!!

High Altitude cabinPosted Aug 22, 2015
Location: Upscale ski resort area.
2 night stay in Big Sky during recent West Coast roadtrip. The cabin was well appointed, clean, and very comfortable. At the top end (altitude 8163') of a cabin complex near the Big Sky ski resort. The cabins are privately owned and managed through some 3rd party connection to Moonlight Lodge. This was a problem when our wi-fi didn't work and no one could help. Lots of wildlife in the area (Elk, deer, bear) and relatively crowded with visitors considering Summer off-season. Bad points were: no wi-fi (included in price), in-cabin or complex laundry services, vicious mosquitoes, and altitude sickness (for non-acclimated visitors). In retrospect, these inconveniences were overshadowed by the excellent cabin and beautiful mountain landscape.

Allow time to locatePosted Aug 6, 2015
It was great but very very hard to find. Expedia gave me an address that was wrong. We had to be escorted to our door after 1 am as nobody could help us locate the hotel and nobody answered 24 hr phone. It wasn't a cabin at all it was a 3 bedroom house that could of been a model home. We didn't want to leave.

The Catholic flock is disillusioned when Church leaders support largely perceived evil rulers, when these Church leaders appear to be rationalizing and sanitizing evil. This is so reminiscent of Cardinal Richelieu, who effectively utilized his Church title to consolidate royal power as King Louis XIII's designated Chief Minister.

Chances are good that you can.
On Tuesday, for the third time in seven years, the court turned aside legislation that claimed to protect children by imposing major criminal penalties on Web sites that carry material perfectly legal for adults to view.
Though shielding minors from pornography is a worthwhile goal, Congress' solution is the wrong way to achieve it. Not only does the law appear to violate the First Amendment's right to free speech, but it isn't even the most effective way to curb kids' access to Internet smut.
Yet that hasn't stopped overeager members of Congress and zealous social crusaders from repeatedly trying to turn Uncle Sam into the nation's nanny.
Congress first got excited about the issue in the mid-1990s, as home-computer use surged and porn peddlers discovered the Internet as a new outlet. The result was a law written so broadly, Michelangelo's David would have to don a fig leaf to avoid being prosecuted if he ventured into cyberspace.
In 1997, the Supreme Court unanimously knocked down that law as a violation of the First Amendment. Congress came back with a new version, the Child Online Protection Act signed by President Clinton in 1998. It authorizes fines of up to $50,000 per day and six months' imprisonment for placing material "harmful to minors" within easy reach of children on the Internet.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court sent that law back to lower courts a second time for more review of its constitutionality. But in a 5-4 ruling, the high court said the law likely violates the First Amendment.
And with good reason. Critics have argued plausibly that the law could criminalize legitimate health-advice and sex-education Web sites as well as those of bookstores, art galleries and news media.
Meanwhile, families have other choices: Internet filtering, parental monitoring and time-restricted access. Two of the most popular Web browsers, MSN and America Online, already offer a variety of parental options for curbing access to the Net's red-light district — plus periodic e-mail reports about children's surfing, e-mail and other activities. Several firms provide similar services for a fee. And commercial spyware programs can track which sites children visit.
Further, the high court noted, at least 40% of porn sites originate outside the USA, beyond the reach of even the most draconian federal law, and the remaining 60% could readily move offshore and stay in business if threatened. Net filters may not be perfect, but at least they stop material from any source, foreign or domestic.
The Supreme Court has long held that "obscenity" — anything that appeals to prurient interests without redeeming social or artistic value — is not protected by the First Amendment. But to curb free speech in the name of protecting children, the court says a law must be narrowly targeted and impose the least-possible restriction on the rights of adults. The version rejected Tuesday meets neither of those standards.
Whether in a family room or cyberspace, monitoring kids' behavior is best left to parents, not politicians.

Lots of things have intervened in the discussion of mutualist property theory over the last two years, not the least of which has been a whole lot of additional research and translation. It has, for one reason or another, been a little more than I could manage to pick up where I left the fairly straightforward exploration of the question which was interrupted in the midst of the "property is impossible" series, way back in June 2010. But there's no getting on to the next phase of things without wrapping up this particular discussion, so I'm working on finally pulling together a summary of the analysis I've generated in fits and starts since the 2008 Proudhon Seminar. Fortunately, I had started that summarizing process, before I so rudely interrupted myself, so let me draw attention back to that beginning, in the post "Take me to the river...," which begins:
Let's say we gather the usual suspects, down by the river, in the State of Nature, or thereabouts, for a bit of property theory and a few "good draughts." John Locke says everybody can appropriate some river-water, as long as what they make their own "property" leaves "a whole river of the same water." Now, Locke has a reputation for saying things like "my labor" when maybe he means the labor of someone else, so there's some hesitation, but it seems like a pretty good deal, assuming it's possible. Now, in literal terms, it seems impossible: a quantity of water, X, minus some non-zero "good draught," G, is unlikely to = X. But, out in the State of Nature, talking about individual-scale "draughts" and a naturally resilient river-system, perhaps it is at least as good as possible.
I'll be continuing, in a similar vein, to let the various "usual suspects" have a little more uninterrupted say, and then moving on to spelling out just how the various pieces of the "gift economy of property" fit together. Because I've had a chance to do so much work on the question over the last couple of years, I think even those who followed along pretty closely the first time will find new reasons to smile, shake their heads or gnash their teeth.

Day 215: Rome
... for today was to head to the Spanish steps where we would join in a free walking tour to get some of the history of the city as well as seeing some of the landmarks that Rome is famous for. The website told us to arrive fifteen minutes of the scheduled 10 o'clock start which we did so when it got to 9:55 with other people waiting around and no guide we started to get the feeling that no one was coming. It turned out this was the case as the English tour guide was sick so there ...

Agent Orange: A Deadly Legacy
Agent Orange killed or gravely harmed millions and keeps doing the same.
by Stephen Lendman
Fifty-one years and counting! On August 10, 1961, America began spraying Agent Orange in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Operation Ranch Hand waged herbicidal warfare for 10 years.
Around 20,000 sorties were flown. Other spraying was done from boats, trucks, or soldiers mounted with backpacks. Over five million acres were contaminated. About 20% of South Vietnam was sprayed at least once.
Millions of gallons of dioxin-containing defoliant were used across vast areas. Concentrations were 50 times greater than for other defoliation purposes. Horrific consequences followed.
Dioxin is one of the most deadly known substances. It's both natural and man-made. It's a potent carcinogenic human immune system suppressant. Minute amounts cause serious health problems and death.
Agent Orange kills! It accumulates in adipose tissue and the liver. It alters living cell genetic structures. Exposure results in congenital disorders and birth defects. It causes cancer, type two diabetes, and numerous other diseases.
In 2009, the US Institute of Medicine reported evidence linking Agent Orange to soft-tissue sarcoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (including hairy-cell leukemia), Hodgkin's disease, and chloracne.
It also associated it with prostate cancer, multiple myeloma, amyloidosis (abnormal protein deposits), Parkinson's disease, porphyria cutanea tarda (a blood and skin disorder), ischemic heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, cancer of the larynx, lung, bronchea and trachea, as well as spina bifida in offspring of exposed parents.
Vietnam's Red Cross also links it to liver cancer; lipid metabolism disorder; reproductive abnormalities; development disabilities; paralysis; and congenital deformities like cleft lip, cleft palate, club foot, hydrocephalus, neural tube defects, fused digits, and muscle malformations.
Dioxin remains toxic for decades. It's not water soluble or easily degradable. It contaminates soil, foliage, air and water. It can be inhaled, absorbed through skin, or gain bodily entry through eyes, ears, or other cavity passages. It enters the food chain. Crops, plants, animals, and sea life are poisoned.
Its effects killed millions of Southeast Asians. Many others were disabled and/or suffer from chronic illnesses. Future generations are affected like earlier ones.
Around three million US servicemen and women were harmed. So were many American civilians. Many died. Living victims suffer from diseases, birth defects, and other ill effects.
Agent Orange use was always controversial. In 1964, the Federation of American Scientists objected. In 1966, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) issued a resolution. It called for investigating its effects.

The beautiful beaches of the giulf
... Interesting to us was the fact that access to the beach in Bay St. Louis was limited, because there was no parking. They built a cement walk just beside the road leaving no shoulder, and reserved the space on the other side to walkers and bikers. So we were not able to park and go to the beach. I guess it must be reserved for the people who live in the houses across the street or anyone who can walk there or ride a bike.
Further on down the road ...
Day 21 - Go Seminoles!
Tallahassee is not just the capitol of Florida, more importantly it is the home of Marcus's alma mater, Florida State University (FSU). Go Seminoles! While this may not seem important to some, it is important to me because if you know Marcus, you know he tells wonderful stories…and some of my favorites are from the Sigma Nu fraternity house at FSU. By the way, do you know that FSU has a circus school? I do, because ...

We finally pulled up stakes at the Pensacola Beach RV Resort and were on the road around 11:00 or so. We took off toward the east on the road that traverses most of Santa Rosa Island. We had not traveled down this way during our stay, but as we soon found out, we should have. There were miles of vacant white sand beaches along the southern edge of the island.

... this was BY FAR AND AWAY the nicest FBO I had ever seen!! And the a/c was pumping!! I guess that's why they charge $6.22/gallon for 100LL (we paid $5.99 in the Bahamas and less than $4.50 everywhere else). Good thing we only needed 20 gallons. The pet friendly room at the Four Points was great. We took Ichabod down poolside for some dinner al fresco. Very nice. Some Pinot Grigio for Stacy and an American Pale Ale for me and we were ready for bed. New Orleans by noon ...
Day 12
... the Tallahassee RV park where we had planned on staying to find out they were completely full. First time we had a problem by not booking in advance. Cleverly we have all the campground guides etc. and an american cell so I was able to find us another rv resort to spend the night. We headed over to Big Oak RV park and registered there. What a wonderful park. The southern hospitality was as thick as honey in the office and I managed to score the family discount ...

The Isaac Winslow House, also known as the Winslow House Museum, is a mansion located in Marshfield, Massachusetts built around 1700. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
History of the Isaac Winslow House[edit]
The Isaac Winslow House is the ancestral home of the founding family of Marshfield and was considered an avant-garde South Shore mansion.
Built by Judge Isaac Winslow, the house is virtually untouched by modernization. It has been occupied by a family of governors, generals, doctors, lawyers and judges who helped to create Marshfield and the South Shore. It survives as an example of how well-to-do landed gentry, particularly Loyalists, lived in the years prior to the American Revolutionary War.[2]
Among its occupants were General John Winslow, leader of the Massachusetts militia, who is best known for his role in the expulsion of the Acadians from Nova Scotia—an event commemorated by Longfellow in his epic poem Evangeline. His son, Isaac Winslow, was a Loyalist doctor who quarantined and inoculated many Marshfield and Duxbury residents afflicted with smallpox. Largely because of his actions, his property was not confiscated after the Revolution. Another notable occupant was the manservant Britton Hammon, who after voyaging at sea, being captured by Indians off the coast of Florida, and his subsequent escape and reconciliation with former master John Winslow, wrote his life story, becoming among the first African-Americans to have published his work in the New World.
The house remained in the Winslow family until 1822, and was later owned by Daniel Webster. It was restored and opened to the public in 1920. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]
A tour of the home shows antiques and architecture from the Winslow period, and includes items such as a chest built by Newburyport furniture maker Edmond Titcomb in 1700, and a Queen Anne dresser constructed around 1760.
The Daniel Webster Law Office, a National Historic Landmark, is on the grounds of the museum. It contains original letters and artifacts relating to the former congressman, Senator and Secretary of State who lived in Marshfield for the last twenty years of his life. Also on the grounds is a carriage shed housing Webster's one-horse phaeton, as well as Marshfield's own Concord Coach once used to transport passengers from Marshfield to Hingham, and a brougham formerly owned by a railroad magnate. A working blacksmith shop is on site and has been a favorite spot for many Marshfield school children on field trips to the house. Across the street is the 1857 Winslow Schoolhouse, and it shows how a school day would have been conducted prior to the American Civil War. The Tea Room, built in 1920 to serve turkey dinners used to raise money for the Winslow House restoration, is still in use for functions, lectures, field trips and dinners and can be rented out by private parties.
Since 1920, the Winslow House has been the property of the Winslow House Association, a non-profit group created specifically to promote and sustain the long-term well-being of the home. It is open to the public for tours on Wednesday through Sunday from Memorial Day to Columbus Day, and maintains a full schedule of dinners, lectures, concerts and other community events.

The client does prefetch rows, but will ask for more rows when the cache is empty. The server will then use JDBC API (and hence the embedded driver) to get more rows from the engine and return them to the client, see Cursor.java/NetCursor.java. The client driver uses the DRDA protocol [1], which can make the code a bit hard to understand at first. I suggest running a debugger to get a feel for the dynamic structure of the code.

text: BARNSLEY, England, September 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Investing in residential property in the UK's 'buy to let' market can achieve handsome returns, but only if you invest wisely.

Two of those new-fangled electric light bulbs illuminate a glossy bar ceiling of deep, rich nicotine brown. The tongue-and-groove bench-backs are a faded shade of yellow, the walls covered by photographs of the village cricket team and advertisements forlong-deceased breweries. Plastic darts flights, resting on the mantelpiece, seem in danger of melting in the heat from the open log fire.
Regulars help themselves to Flowers IPA, drawn straightfrom the cask. Then they hand the money to Elaine Chudley, a long-standing member of the bar staff who has taken over the day-to-day running of the Drewe since failing health at last forced Auntie Mabel to take to her bed.
Mabel and her husband, Ernest, who died in 1951, were tenants first of the City Brewery in Exeter and later of Whitbread's. All the regulars agree that Whitbread's has been very good to Auntie Mabel. Sam Whitbread himself called in more than once and assured her she could stay at the pub as long as she liked on a peppercorn rent - a commitment he confirmed in an affectionate hand-written letter on her retirement.
But as one of the big brewing combines, Whitbread's is limited in the number of pubs it can own. Its shareholders prefer it to be profitable. "Ever since Mabel passed 80, we've been terrified that one day she might disappear and the next day the pub would be on the market," said Stephen Emanuel, a local architect. He is a member of the Save the Drewe Committee which wants to buy the pub on behalf of the regulars.
A "whip-round" in October produced pledges of £4,500 to buy stock. "We've made a profit on that," said Henry Morgan, who chairs the trading company set up by the committee. "This pub has never made a profit in the winter. It gets busy in the summer months when the tourists come."
Drewsteignton nestles in the hollows on the edge of Dartmoor, separated from the Exeter-to-Okehampton road by lanes as narrow and high-sided as a bobsleigh run. Between church and shop, the Drewe stands thatched and picturesque. The Egon Ronay recommendation plaque on the front wall, though, has caused some confusion and disappointment among visitors.
"They come roaring in here expecting heaven knows what delicacies," Mrs Chudley confided. "All I can offer them is bread and cheese and my mum's ham sandwiches." Her mum, Dorothy Fox, is 76 and has worked for Auntie Mabel since the Fifties. Her sandwiches made a big impression on an Egon Ronay assessor,wearied no doubt by microwaved moussaka, trout stuffed with prawns, Cajun chicken and other exotic dishes that now come under the heading of pub grub. Here he was served thick slices of white crusty bread, smothered with butter and clamped around generous chunks of home-cured ham.
Arrangements for more ambitious catering at the Drewe would be unlikely to pass muster with environmental health inspectors, although the committee is installing a new wash-basin in the scullery. It is also holding fund-raising "food evenings" every Monday. A rota has been set up and each week a different member of the community prepares meals at home before ferrying them to the pub and heating them up on Auntie Mabel's old Rayburn.
My visit on Monday happily coincided with the turn of Susie Harrison who, with husband Chris, runs the Hunt's Tor Restaurant (recommended by the Good Food Guide but not, as yet, Egon Ronay). We bought our tickets from Mrs Chudley and formed an orderly queue at the kitchen door. Susie trained at Keith Floyd's restaurant in Bristol. Tonight she had produced a tasty casserole of chicken and black-eyed beans with mushrooms and onions, flavoured with cinnamon and garlic, cumin and coriander, served with rice, all for £2.
With bench space fully occupied, people ate with plates on their knees or, in Joe Nathan's case, resting on the hatch to the bar servery. A carpenter by trade, he had moved his family to Drewsteignton from north London. "We have a better social life herethan we did in London," he said, "but it totally depends on this pub. We don't have a village hall and, without the Drewe, everything would fragment." He knows fund-raising nights in the pub will raise nowhere near enough money to buy it. Henry Morgan estimates they would need about £250,000 to acquire the property and do the necessary structural repairs.
The Save the Drewe Committee intends to apply for funding to preservation charities and there is talk of putting in a bid to the Millennium Fund.
After all, here is a rare institution: an English ale-house virtually unchanged from the end of the 19th century. Too many villages have seen their local ruined or closed altogether. Here is a chance to keep one alive and also provide a fitting memorial to Mabel Mudge.
