Posted by Paula Lees
I had a 2 10pm appointment today, my husband came with me. The staff were excellent and very friendly. We were called in to see the Consultant on time and found them to be very polite and understanding. The consultant took time to answer all my questions and gave me options as to how I wanted to progress, they made me feel I could have a better quality of life with the treatment offered.
Thanks to everyone in the department.
Paula Lees.

Conquering NJ's Vertical Limit, 1,000 Feet At A Time
When it comes to mountains, New Jersey has peak envy. There just isn't anything in this state we're in that compares to the majesty – or climbing challenges – presented by iconic mountain ranges like the Rockies. But it's not the size of the mountain that matters; it's how you use them. And the advent of the New Jersey 1K Club proves it.

Americans are facing a troubling reality. The economic recovery they were promised has not materialized. There's growing talk about a "new normal"—a new way of life to take us through a long period of failed recoveries.

About Us
Apostle Ronald C. Hill
The youngest of four children, Pastor Ronald C. Hill was raised in the small town of Pittsburg, Texas. When he was 8 years old he accepted Jesus Christ into his life, but experienced little spiritual growth. After graduating from high school, he joined the United States Navy and completed two tours of duty in Vietnam. In 1967, he was honorably discharged and moved to Los Angeles, California where he worked in the Aircraft Industry. The following year, he accepted a job with the Southern California Transit District.
In 1972, Pastor Hill rededicated his life to God. Shortly thereafter, the Lord instructed him to quit his job and go into ministry full time. A year later, the Lord opened a door for
Pastor Hill to become the first African-American minister to serve as chaplain with the
Union Rescue Mission in Los Angeles. From 1973 to 1980, Pastor Hill also served as an
Evangelist and Chaplain with the Los Angeles County Probation Department.
In November of 1981, the Lord led Pastor Hill to found the Love and Unity Christian Fellowship. Beginning this ministry with only his helpmeet Osie, their small children and five church members, this fellowship of believers has impacted their community for Christ growing into a membership of over 3,500 members. Although located in an urban community widely known for its drugs, gang violence, and poverty the city of Compton, CA is where the Love & Unity Christian Fellowship calls home. Opening the doors to a multi-million dollar building project in 2005, the Born Again Center became the new home of the Love & Unity Christian Fellowship.
Through hard work and being faithful to God's calling upon his life, Pastor Hill has the led the Love & Unity congregation into the importance of evangelism outside the four walls of the church. The Love & Unity Christian Fellowship has knocked on the door of every home in the city of Compton at least three times hoping to reach the community for Christ.
The Love and Unity Christian Fellowship demonstrates its concern for the larger community through its 27 active outreach ministries including its radio broadcast, adopt-a-school ministry, tutorial program, back to school outreach events, and other various outreach crusades held throughout the year.
Known as a man of much prayer and fasting, Pastor Hill leads the Love & Unity Christian Fellowship in hosting a monthly prayer and consecration events. In addition, the church doors are open for prayer Monday thru Friday during the hours of: 5:00am, 6:00am, 12:00 Noon, and Saturday's 8:00am.
Pastor Ronald C. Hill has been married to Co-Pastor, Osie L. Hill for 43 years. God has blessed them with four children: Angela, Constance, Ronald Jr., and Joseph. They have also been blessed with thier son-in-law, Mr. Kenneth Hill Goudy. Together Apostle Hill and Lady Hill have 5 grandchildren, Jahkari David, Tori Celeste, Amanda Celeste, Wynston Cline and Zuri Celeste . Pastor Hill was also blessed in the early portion of his life with a daughter Sharlet Reed, a son-in-law Leonard and two grandchildren LaKendra and Alyson, whom reside in his home state of Texas.

Travelling with children
Travelling with kids can be both challenging and rewarding. Indians are very tolerant of children so you can take them almost anywhere without restriction, and they always help break the ice with strangers.
However the main problem with children, especially small children, is their extra vulnerability. Even more than their parents, they need protection from the sun, unsafe drinking water, heat and unfamiliar food. All that chilli in particular may be a problem, even with older kids, if they're not used to it. Remember too, that diarrhoea, perhaps just a nuisance to you, could be dangerous for a child: rehydration salts are vital if your child goes down with it. Make sure too, if possible, that your child is aware of the dangers of rabies; keep children away from animals and consider a rabies jab.
For babies, nappies (diapers) are available in most large towns at similar prices to the West, but it's worth taking an additional pack in case of emergencies, and bringing sachets of Calpol or similar, which aren't readily available in India. And if your baby is on powdered milk, it might be an idea to bring some of that: you can certainly get it in India, but it may not taste the same. Dried baby food could also be worth taking – any café or chai-wallah should be able to supply you with boiled water.
For touring, hiking or walking, child-carrier backpacks are ideal; some even come with mosquito nets these days. As for luggage, bring as little as possible so you can manage the kids more easily. If your child is small enough, a fold-up buggy is also well worth packing, even if you no longer use a buggy at home, as kids tire so easily in the heat. If you want to cut down on long train or bus journeys by flying, remember that children under 2 travel for ten percent of the adult fare, and under-12s for half price.

The pair died during a patrol in Garmsir district of southern Helmand on Wednesday when their vehicle was hit by an explosive device as they patrolled with Afghan security forces.
Mr Dunstan, 32, was from Bournemouth. He was due to marry his fiancée, Katie Miller, in summer 2010. She described him as her "soulmate" and said he was proud to be a Marine. A graduate who spoke fluent French, he was said to be a quiet but natural leader with maturity and intellect.
Mr McKibben's family had been expecting him home before Christmas. Also 32, from Westport in Co Mayo, he was well-known in the close-knit community. Father Micheal Mannion, a local priest, said the soldier's parents, brother and two sisters were "in terrible shock".

Metal processing company Worthington Industries (ticker: WOR) reported Q1 2006 earnings results yesterday. Chairman and CEO John McConnell discussed company developments in China during management's earnings results conference call. For some background on Worthington's activities in China let's first take a look at what McConnell said on a previous conference call:
From Worthington's Q3 2005 Earnings Conference Call (March 16, 2005):
We've also gained excellent traction in China with our mid-rise product, the 3 to 8-story product. With the support, full support of the Chinese government to build mid-rise construction projects in China. We are currently in the design phase with this product, and construction will begin throughout the calendar year.
From Worthington's Q1 2006 Earnings Conference Call (September 21, 2005):
I also want to take a minute and update you on our construction efforts in China. We will break ground on the first of two of our proprietary mid-rise building designs in China in October. These prototypes are our ability to start to go after what is a huge opportunity in China. But they only represent the beginning of a long road towards acceptance. So we're going to have to continue to stay on top of that for you and keep you informed as our progress continues.
(Quotes are from the CCBN StreetEvents transcript.)
Comment: The company did not provide any China updates during management's Q4 2005 earnings results conference call.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.1 /5 from 85 reviews
I booked a long time in advance and requested a bath tub as the hotel advised this was available. We were staying 3 nights so I thought they would make sure this was OK but didn't even notice my request and then said wasn't possible. I have muscle damage that is helped with soaking so was very important. Bathroom was tiny. Breakfast was good. One new reception person was very nice.
I picked the most unbearably hot weekend to be in Duseldorf. Unfortunately the hotel does not have air conditioning and it was a very uncomfortable stay for that reason only. The hotel room was comfortable and clean and the hotel was convenient to the central train station and walking to all the major sightseeing attractions of Duseldorf.
Stayed one night. A very charming boutique hotel - I loved the hard-wood floor which made it really cozy. Neighborhood excellent for variety of restaurant from a German pub/restaurant, fancy Thai restaurant to a fastfood Turkish place. Breakfast was great, too (I wish I had more than 15min to enjoy it!). I would definitely stay here again! -
Great location, walk to main train station and Old Town, most helpful and courteous staff, fine breakfast, convenient parking, lots of restaurants and cafes close by.
Nice clean hotel with friendly staff and conviniente location. Would be my first choice on my future trips to Düsseldorf .

Honda Accord plug-in will help standardize Power Grid Integration
The principle is a relatively simple one. Much like selling surplus power back to a regional utility via a residential integrated solar panel array, the University of Delaware is proposing the same for your plug- in, EV or Hybrid. Well, not exactly…
What we're truly looking at here is a surplus energy swap through a bitmap controller, that allows the idle car to communicate with the regional power grid manager. In the case of an electric car, the owner will control the amount of stored power "sold" back to the grid. In this example, we sight PJM Interconnection, the largest grid manager on the East Coast.
My hat comes off to Research Director Willett Kempton for launching the concept program in 2004. I like it, and we'll need it…
I believe that in the not too distant future, the majority of automobiles on the road will be some form of fuel cell-EV or plug-in EV. Fossil fuel will be a thing of the past, and Grandpa's 57 Chevy will be converted into living room furniture. Smog will be a problem of the past. Nuclear waste? That's for another story.
Here's how it will work.
Your Accord plug in or FCEV(if it has plug -in capacity) will reverse -flow excess battery storage capacity back into the power grid via a controller developed through the UD's Center for Carbon Free Integration. You can read about the program here. Assuming that electric car production reaches critical mass in the not too distant future, this energy swap will be critical in maintaining grid-flow during peak energy usage hours. And that's a big if.
The partnership project between UD and Honda is on an ' experimental' basis. For the program to be successful, a major manufacturer such as Honda would agree to integrate UD's board into mass produced EV's. BMW is also on board with the project.
This is how Honda see's it...The technology to send power in two directions is new, said Marcos Frommer, a spokesman for Honda. There are technical and regulatory obstacles that need to be overcome, but eventually they envision using it in electric vehicles offered for sale, Frommer said.

The train ride
A story about me and my friends where we attend Hogwarts. Takes place after the Battle of Hogwarts, and before the trio's kids go to Hogwarts. I'm not sure how this will work out. Maybe there will be one plot, or maybe it will consist of several arcs. Btw, obviously I've used alternate last names.
Finally, it was September first, which meant she would finally be going to Hogwarts. Michelle Sherwood was an ordinary eleven year old girl with brown hair and dark brown eyes. Someone once told her that her eyes resembled those of an owl. Ordinary, except for the fact that today she would be attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Yes, you heard right. Witchcraft and Wizardry. Michelle Sherwood was a witch. She had only found out about this recently though, when on her eleventh birthday a letter was delivered. Not by the postman however, by an owl. You can imagine how stunned Michelle and her mother had looked when the bird had flown into their living room, dropping a letter into the girl's lap.
When reading the letter, Michelle finally understood why strange things always seemed to happen around her. Her mother on the other hand, had already expected something like this.
The brown haired girl had been really excited when she read about the school. She immediately dragged her mother to Diagon Alley (a shopping area for all your wizardry needs) to get the things first years would need. Michelle was especially excited about getting a wand, of course. Thus, this was their first stop.
The man named Mr. Ollivander let her try about a hundred wands (or at least it felt that way), before he was finally satisfied. After waving the last wand around, the air was filled with fireworks. Her wand was made of alder and 10 and 3/4 inches long. The core was the feather of a phoenix, and, according to Mr. Ollivander, was surprisingly swishy.
After paying for the wand (they had exchanged their money for the wizarding currency before going to Ollivanders at Gringotts) they decided to get the other stuff. When they were about to go home, Michelle begged her mum to buy her an owl, thus why the people at Kings Cross where giving her funny looks.
No idea how to get to platform nine and three quarters, Michelle and her mum decided to look around for some other wizards. Luckily, they quickly spotted a rather large family who were also carrying two owls. Now, if they weren't wizards, Michelle thought.
''Excuse me,'' her mum started. ''Could you tell us how to get on platform nine and three quarters?''
The family consisted of two parents and five children. One young man, who seemed to have already graduated, a girl who was about fourteen, a girl who was most likely also going to Hogwarts for the first time, and two twin boys who were youngest of the lot. The two girls, although they were sisters, looked nothing alike. The older girl had dark brown hair and dark eyes and was very slim. Her younger sister on the other hand had blue greenish eyes and blond hair and was a bit on the chubby side. The three boys seemed quite a like, except for one of the twins who looked younger than his twin.
''You must be Muggles,'' the father smiled. He was quite tall and already had grey hair. ''Well, follow us. It's our youngest daughter's first time to Hogwarts as well.'' he nodded towards the youngest girl, who smiled shyly.
Michelle and her mum followed the family. The twins were whining about wanting to go to Hogwarts too, to which their mother replied that they just had to wait a few more years. Their older sisters teased them, talking about all the great things that they got to do at Hogwarts.
''I'm so not going to miss you two.'' the smaller boy mumbled.
''Pay attention now!" the father told Michelle and her mum. ''This is were it get's a bit complicated.'' He winked, and, to their big surprise, ran at the wall between platform nine and ten at full speed.
Michelle's mum was about to scream, thinking the man had lost his mind, when he ran right through the wall.
The mother of the family smiled at their surprised faces. She was of average height and a bit on the plump side. She had, like her oldest daughter, dark hair.
''I'm afraid Muggles can't enter the barrier. You'll have to say goodbye here,'' she turned towards her oldest son and daughter. ''Jonathan, you take your little sister. Celeste, take care of the twins for me.''
The kids followed their mother's instructions and ran through the wall.
The mother then turned towards Michelle and her mum once again.
''It's really easy, I'll go with you if that makes you feel better.''
Michelle nodded a bit uneasy. What if the barrier wouldn't let her through and she'd ran straight into the wall? That oughta hurt.
She hugged her mum tight, her eyes a bit teary. She had never been apart from her mother this long. The next time she'd see her was at Christmas, which was three months away.
She noticed that her mum was about to cry too, but she held it together.
''Be careful, honey. Don't stay up too late. Don't eat too much candy. Make some nice friends. And don't forget to write!''
After promising her mother she would do all that, she and the mother of the large family ran at the wall together. Michelle closed her eyes, afraid she would hit the wall and wake up in the hospital.
This thankfully didn't happen. When she opened her eyes she was at a different platform, bustling with people. She thanked the woman and carried her trunk towards the train. She'd better find a coupe, before everything was full. Ugh, her trunk was so heavy, she thought it was a miracle she hadn't fallen over yet.
Relieved, she opened an empty coupe. She had been too shy to enter an occupied one and ask if she could join them. Curse her insecurity.
She sat down and took out her iPod. She knew it wouldn't work at Hogwarts (thanks to Hogwarts: A History, which she had bought at Flourish and Blotts), but at least she'd have some music on the way there.
The door of the coupe opened and the youngest sister from earlier entered.
''Do you mind if I sit here?''
Michelle shook her head.
''Go ahead.''
An awkward silence followed.
''Must have been a shock when your mum found out you were a witch.'' the girl smiled.
Michelle smiled back and shook her head.
''She said she had already expected something like that. After all, there was no other explanation but magic for the things I've done. Apparently I once floated out of my crib. Almost gave my mum a stroke.''
The girl laughed.
''Yeah, magic is really the only explanation for that.''
''Michelle Sherwood, by the way.''
''Regina Oakley.''
Things got a lot less awkward after that. Michelle asked everything she could about the Wizarding World. Regina, on the other hand, asked her new friend all about the 'Muggle' world. A Muggle, she explained, was someone who didn't have magic, like Michelle's mum.
''Oh so that was what your parents called my mother! For a minute there I thought they were insulting my mum!''
Regina laughed.
''No, don't worry about that. They'd never do that. Especially dad, he's a Muggleborn himself- A Muggleborn is someone like you. A wizard or witch with Muggle parents.'' Regina explained.
The coupe opened again, this time a little, chubby boy came in. He was around Michelle's and Regina's age.
''Could I sit here?'' he was already sitting when he asked that though. ''I can't believe that...that...''
''Troll?'' Regina helped.
''Yes, thank you.''
Michelle and Regina stared curiously at the boy, who didn't say anything. He got up all of a sudden.
''I'm not letting him get away with this.''
With that, he was gone.
''Well, that was strange.'' Michelle noted. Regina nodded. The door of the coupe opened for the third time that day. This time it was a friendly lady with a trolley.
''Anything off the trolley, dears?''
The trolley lady sold all kind of candy that Michelle had never seen. Regina, along with the lady's help, told her about them. At the end, she decided to try everything but Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, since she really didn't trust those.
''Careful with those Chocolate Frogs,'' Regina warned her, as she was about to open one.
''They move.''
Michelle froze.
''Are these actual...?''
Regina laughed.
''No, no of course not. It's enchanted, it can only jump once, so be sure to grab it before it escapes.''
After devouring the Frog, Michelle studied the card that came with it.
''Lots of children in our world collect those. They're cards of famous wizards and witches. Who did you get?''
''Harry Potter,'' Michelle read. ''The boy who lived.''
She looked up at Regina.
''The boy who lived? I'm living and I'm not on one of these.''
Regina laughed.
''He's the only one who's survived the killing curse.''
''Oh, that makes more sense.''
Michelle started reading the card. If she had read it more thoroughly, she would've read what Regina had just told her. Harry Potter apparently had many accomplishments like slaying a basilisk. His biggest accomplishment however, was defeating some guy named 'Lord Voldemort'.
''So who is this Voldy? It says here that he was the darkest wizard of all time...''
''He's like the Hitler of the Wizarding World, or that's what my dad says. He wanted to rid the world of Muggles, Muggle-borns, half-bloods, what he called 'bloodtraitors' and the like.''
Regina quickly filled her in on Voldemort and the two wizarding wars. It sounded awful. Michelle was really glad that Voldemort was gone. Imagine living in a world like that!
It started to get darker outside and Regina's older sister, Celeste, informed them that they'd be arriving soon and that they'd best change into their robes. Taking her advice, they quickly changed. Soon after, the train came to a halt.
''Firs' years follow me!" A gigantic man called.
Regina pulled Michelle, who was staring at the man in awe, with her towards the giant.
''Hello Hagrid.'' Regina smiled.
The giant, named Hagrid, smiled kindly.
''Ah, you must be an Oakley! I'm goin' to miss yer brother.''
Hagrid led them towards the lake, where they were to board little boats that would lead them to the castle.
She and Regina shared a boat with the boy from before, who introduced himself as Cenkay Ackary and a girl called Sahar Mousley. As soon as they had sat down, the boat started to move. The castle soon came into the view and the first years stared at it in amazement. The castle was huge. Michelle was already worrying about getting lost.
They reached the shore and quickly got out. They were all eager to enter the school.
''Don' wander off.'' Hagrid instructed.
Michelle and her boatmates ran to the front, to make sure they wouldn't be left behind.
It was a long walk from the shore to the castle and Michelle was starting to lose her patience. She was jumping up and down in excitement, which annoyed some of her classmates.
They finally arrived in front of the castle. Hagrid knocked three times on the door of their new home.
I know the way Michelle and Regina meet is a bit like how Harry and Ron meet, but since Michelle is a muggle she wouldn't know how to get on platform nine and three quarters. Regina's family is not based on the Weasleys. She just happens to have a rather large family and twin brothers (this is why I always call them the Weasleys in my head). The only difference is that they aren't really poor and red. But seriously, even their house has a Weasley like feel. By the way, the title is from the song 'Young and Stupid' from Hedley, since I think the song really suits us.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. Make no mistake, you bought your Reatta because you understood you would be getting efficiency and fun both impeccably combined into one vehicle. You purchased your Reatta because its dependability and a trusted name struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Buick vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to repair your car or truck.
The engine in your car or truck could not efficiently deliver power to your wheels without a working transmission. The automatic transmission on your Buick Reatta uses a large quantity of hydraulic fluid to both lubricate and actuate some of the internal components. Thus, an automatic transmission filter is required to trap and retain some of the impurities that could be flowing through the fluid. Your car or truck needs to have its automatic transmission filter changed at regular intervals as recommended by the manufacturer. Your Buick Reatta automatic transmission filter does not simply screw on like an oil filter, nor does it drop in like your air filter. Your transmission pan will likely need to be unbolted and all the fluid replaced as well.
Don't let a Transmission Filter repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Get your Reatta back on the road with the highest quality new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents available with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Buick Reatta part for your needs. Need 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988 Buick Reatta Transmission Filter parts? We've got them right here.

Assumption Four
It is Assumption Four of The Matrix Theory that gives it distinction. Assumptions One and Two are as basic as Scripture itself, and Assumption Three, although quite unique in concept, is just a common sense derivative of Assumptions One & Two. Thus, Assumption Four is what gives The Matrix Theory foundation. However, it is also what causes folks to turn their heads sideways and give me the look of "crazy". Perhaps this is because the movie 'The Matrix' has far too much Hollywood in it for them to associate with reality and if so, I don't blame them for the movie does not accurately depict how God has made us and the Earth and Universe that we live in. Thus, more is needed in order to get the theory out of the movies and into real life. Let's add to the theory by turning to a new question, "How did God create the Earth?"
The only source I know of that provides detail on how God made the Earth is Scripture, and I understand that in using these writings, I make yet another assumption… that they are accurate. However, given that the theory already assumes that God exists, then I believe it reasonable to also assume that he has provided some means for us to know of him and his works, and Scripture is the only thing that I know of that claims to have been written under his direct influence. Also, I know that there are different versions of scripture: Bible; Koran; Torah, etc. However, as far as I can tell, all of these writings agree on God's making of the Earth. Thus, I feel it acceptable to use these writings in order to cover this topic, and I will hereafter refer to them simply as Scripture.
When Scripture speaks of God creating the Earth, it states that his means of accomplishing the job was simply to speak, making commands and giving directions to the matter that makes up the Earth. As he did this, the matter obeyed and this process continued until he had formed the Earth the way he wanted it. Thereafter, throughout the course of history, Scripture also speaks of many instances where God spoke (or he had a servant speak for him) and again, whatever was commanded was obeyed by the very elements, i.e. "the waves of the sea obey his command". Thus, it would seem that whatever it is that matter happens to be made of (and as we discussed in Letter 4, it is some pretty weird stuff) it also apparently has the ability to hear and obey God's voice.
So with this, let's return to the question that we have spent so much time on, "What is matter made of?" Summarizing what we have previously discussed together with what we have discussed in this letter we get:
(1) Matter is something that appears to be tangible, but is not. Rather it is some form of light and conscious energy that has the ability to present itself to our senses as tangible substance.
(2) Matter is something that is influenced by our conscious intentions and it reacts to our beliefs and desires, at least in small measures.
(3) Matter it is something that has the ability to hear and obey Gods voice, and has yielded complete control of itself over to him, reacting in exact obedience to whatever he commands.
Now, consider these points for yourself and tell me, what do you make of it? Can you see how I arrive at the Matrix Theory? If this theory were an exact representation of reality then the truth about the Earth and Universe that we live in would be as follows:
(1) Matter is the light/energy created substance that makes up all things in the virtual/computer generated Earth and Universe that we live in.
(2) God is the master programmer of the program.
(3) God programmed it for our use (as a means of providing us life experience and the opportunity to learn faith).
(4) The program is voice activated, synced with God's voice.
However, the analogy is not a perfect representation of reality. It is too simplistic and needs more detail. Thus, let's add more detail by turning back to the questions: "Who is God?" "Who are we?" and "What is our relationship to him?"
Assumption Two already provides the answer to these questions, "We are God's children" which concept comes readily from Scripture. However, we have not discussed what that means and considered how it ties into everything else. It is such a basic tenant of Religion that I think we simply hear it and move on, but a fundamental principal lies hidden in the thorough consideration of this concept. If we accept the assumption that we are God's children, then the obvious question that follows is, "Are we not then also Gods, for what child is not the same thing that their parent is?"
Now, I know that this concept doesn't go over well with most folks and in fact, I struggle with it myself. When it first hit me upside the head I could not accept it but, after a long while of struggling with it, I was forced to admit that: (1) I wasn't sure why because it is the obvious logical conclusion if you accept that we are God's children and; (2) my efforts to deny it left me feeling like my friends who believe in Evolution – angry because the facts and logic don't add up the way I want them to. Thus, I found my logical self at an impasse where I either had to accept this concept as possible or abandon it and start over in my search for truth. However, I did not have then nor do I have now any idea where else to start. If I discard the concept of being a child of God and therefore a young god myself, then I can't make anything else add up. However, if I just go with the concept, and apply it to all of the surrounding truths, it fits in perfectly and becomes a key piece of the puzzle.
In the next letter I will delve into what I mean by this, but for now, think about it.
See you next time…

Shoal of Time: A History of the Hawaiian Islands (1968)
by Gavan Daws
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Shoal of Time may be tedious at times, but it's also incredibly comprehensive and fascinating. It took me weeks to make it through this book, and in the process, I created dozens of bookmarks for research purposes. The approach of the book feels very fair in its treatment of haoles (whites), native Hawaiians, and the islands' history of misunderstanding, racism, and political corruption. It goes into detail on the first arrivals of foreigners, to Kamehameha, to the takeover of haoles and sugar companies and American annexation, to the attack on Pearl Harbor, to Hawaii gaining statehood. I had no idea that statehood was delayed for years because Hawaii, with its heavy populations of "foreigners" and union labor, was regarded as a hotbed of communism. The book contains a lot of interesting data like that.
While the book did require skimming in spots, it was a good read overall, and I can see why it has stayed in print for decades.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (14)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0824803248, Paperback)Gavan Daws' remarkable achievement is to free Hawaiian history from the dust of antiquity. Based on years of work in the documentary sources, Shoal of Time emerges as the most readable of all Hawaiian histories.
Starting with the Western discovery of the islands in 1778--on through the days of the whalers, the missionary period, the plantation era with its vast numbers of Oriental immigrants, to the fall of the Hawaiian monarchy, annexation by the United States, and the long, slow move to statehood--the characters and events of Hawaii's past shine with new vitality and immediacy.

I think, I love you.Mature
Chameleon girl's lower lip began to tremble with the mention of Wynters name. She looked... Well pretty damn horrible. Her eyes were red and puffy, her face covered in all that black mascara shit that girls load onto their eyes. I felt sorry for her, and talking about Wynter obviously wasn't something she wanted to do...
"Forget Wynter. I asked you a question- infact I've asked you two now. There is some seriously freaky shit going on around here, and I thought me and Wynt-" Chameleon girl flinched at the mention of his name, and I stopped mid-sentence.
"What?" Pheebs asked. Her eyebrows furrowing together in confusion. "You didn't finish what you were saying,"
"Oh, urgh nothing. Look I'm all for getting things straight and having a few questions answered, but maybe we should go somewhere a little less... public?" I said, placing my arm around chameleon girls waist. "My place should be pretty safe."
I leant my cheek against the top of camelion girls head, "You're safe with me, I promise" I whispered into her hair. I looked back at Pheebs and the Evan guy, who were holding hands. I frowned, and made me way back to the apartment. Stop being so fucking pathetic, and be a man for gods sake...
When we got back, I opened the door and Evan ran inside, flicking switches.
"Turn on all the lights." He yelled running around frantically, Pheebs started to do the same thing, so she did what he said now.
"Urgh, why?"
"He can't- need light- look I'll explain later. Just do it!" Who the hell did he think he was giving me orders? I bit my tongue though, this was obviously something to do with the guy who looked like he was dressed for a Halloween party.
Within five minutes the apartment looked like fucking Brighton beach at New Years, it was beginning to hurt my eyes.
"Hey, is it ok if I shower?" I turned around, it was Pheebs. For the first time in my life the thought of a girl naked in my shower didn't trigger off my usual cocky, charming ways in which I would say something I would later regret. I hadn't noticed until now but she looked, fragile- for the first time ever those fierce barriers were completely down.
"Yeah, did you wanna borrow some clothes?" I said, showing her into the ensuite from my room. She bit her lip and I moaned inside, god she is irresistable. I slowly made my way closer to her, and she moved closer still, until our faces were almost touching. Her eyelashes fluttered,
"If that's ok, I mean, I wouldn't want to hassle you," she looked up, those smouldering green eyes blazing straight into mine,
"Not- not, a-at all," I stuttered, get a grip man! I looked back into those eyes, and sighed. Running my hand through her hair, cupping her delicate face, I leant down.
Her breathing increased and I gently pressed my lips against hers, and softly kissed her. She stood there shocked, and after a couple of agonising seconds she kissed me back. Her arms wrapped around the back of my neck. I pushed her against the wall, my hands still cupping her face, roughly, passionately I embraced Phoebe- unleashing all the pent up fire within me.
I leant my forehead against hers. Our chests heaving in unison.
"I think, I love you." I whispered. A huge grin spread across her face, she kissed me fiercely on the lips before saying,

Match Report
17:51 27th September 2015
A penalty by Yohan Cabaye was enough for Palace to see off Watford as they kept their first clean sheet of the season to clinch victory at Vicarage Road.
In a repeat of the 2013 Championship Play-Off Final, Wilfried Zaha won a penalty once again against the Hornets but this time it was the French midfielder, rather than Kevin Phillips, who dispatched the kick with aplomb to get Palace back to winning ways in the league and move them into the top six of the table.
In a tepid opening 45 minutes, Palace had the half's only real opportunity of note on 13 minutes when Bakary Sako won a free-kick on the left, which was swung into the box by Yohan Cabaye. Brede Hangeland managed to escape his marker's clutches to get his head onto the ball but at point-blank range Heurelho Gomes managed to push the ball away.
The visitors enjoyed the majority of the territory during the opening half and looked the more likely to grab the game's opening goal but some poor passing from both sides in the final third meant that neither goalkeeper was threatened. Lots of fouls from both sides also didn't help proceedings, and it was therefore unsurprising that the two sides went in at the break goalless.
But the second half started with a bang as the Hornets nearly broke the deadlock after 60 seconds when Jose Manuel Jurado curled a free-kick over the Palace wall and struck the crossbar, with Troy Deeney heading the rebound well over.
Wayne Hennessey then had to get down low to stop an Almen Abdi strike which skidded along the turf from 25 yards out, but Sako went close with a free-kick of his own that left Gomes scrambling across his line to defect it wide.
Just before the hour mark it was the Eagles who were rueing their luck when Sako managed to bully his way past Allan Nyom and sent in a teasing cross towards Dwight Gayle, and the striker managed to make contact with the ball but saw his effort deflect off Craig Cathcart, clip the crossbar and fall kindly into Gomes' grasp.
However on 70 minutes the deadlock was finally broken. In shades of the 2013 Play-Off Final, substitute Zaha spend down the left and was felled in the box by Nyom for a clear penalty. Cabaye stepped up and despite Gomes guessing the right way, the Frenchman's kick was out of the Brazilian stopper's reach as he registered his second of the season.
It could have been 2-0 on 78 minutes when Zaha again caused problems down the left and picked at Yannick Bolasie at the far post, and he nodded the ball into the path of Gayle who stabbed the ball the wrong side of the post from close range, and soon after Jason Puncheon saw a free-kick from the edge of the area easily saved by Gomes.
Gayle nearly wrapped up it when he was released by a good pass from Puncheon and he raced through on goal, and after being held up by a couple of Hornets defenders, his shot on the turn whistled just past Gomes' far post, and Bolasie saw a blast ripple the top of the net in stoppage time as Alan Pardew's side picked up another win on the road.
Watford: Gomes, Nyom (Ake 75), Prodl, Cathcart, Anya, Jurado, Watson (Ibarbo 82), Capoue, Abdi (Berghuis 64), Deeney, Ighalo. Subs: Arlauskis, Paredes, Guedioura, Diamante.
Palace: Hennessey, Kelly, Dann, Hangeland, Souare, Cabaye (McArthur 77), Ledley, Puncheon, Sako (Zaha 62), Bolasie, Gayle (Campbell 84). Subs: McCarthy, Mariappa, Croll, Gray.

Toil and Trouble
Shakespeare's famously bloody play Macbeth will get a shot of estrogen starting tonight in the Betsy Stage's original new adaptation. Beth takes the classic tragedy and places it in 1920s Paris, imagining the title character as a female painter toiling in the male-dominated art scene.
"It's about the struggle to be an artist and a woman at the same time and what it takes to be in that world," says writer and director Samantha McDermott. "It's about whether that can drive you crazy or whether it drives you crazy not to do art."
The all-female cast will play this timeless tale with some interesting twists. The character of Macbeth's friend Banquo is transformed into Beth's mother, while the three witches become voices in the despairing woman's head. "It's basically our homage to women's struggle throughout time in art," says McDermott. "We actually did some research and found that not an awful lot has changed today: 95 percent of the art in modern museums is men's art. And 80 percent of art faculty at colleges are men, even though 53 percent of degree-holders are women."
Beth runs Fridays and Saturdays tonight through May 24 (as well as Monday, May 5, and Thursday, May 22) at 8 p.m. at the Betsy Stage, 1133 South Huron Street. Tickets are free, with donations accepted, but reservations are required; call 720-328-5294 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information, visit betsystage.com.
Fridays, Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Mon., May 5, 8 p.m.; Thu., May 22, 8 p.m. Starts: April 18. Continues through June 7, 2014

Post every terror attack, there is bound to be analysis and what went wrong. In the case of the Pathankot terrorist attack the first question that comes to mind is why the army was not the lead agency in combating the terrorists.
After the intercepts were deciphered, New Delhi was quick to press the NSG commandos a move that was defended later on the ground that there were civilians in the air force station. [Timeline of Pathankot terror attack]
There are none in the country who can battle hardened terrorists the way the 4 Para (SF) and 9 Para (SF) do. Both these commando units of the Indian army are stationed in Jammu and Kashmir and should have been deployed instead of the NSG, experts feel.
Too many cooks spoil the broth:
The Pathankot operation to eliminate the terrorists is a classic case of too many cooks spoiling the broth. Who really was in charge is a million dollar question that is being asked. Moreover, why when the intelligence alerts suggested that it was going to be an attack on a military base was the NSG sent in.
Clearly there was no hostage crisis and hence the of the NSG over the elite force of the army is very much questionable. Several experts say that the 4 Para (SF) and the 9 Para (SF) should be have deployed immediately. They are experts at combating such a situation and could have finished the operation earlier.
This argument can be supported with an incident that took place ahead of the December 13, 2001 Parliament attack. Militants had tried to storm a base in Jammu and Kashmir, but were all neutralised when they were trying to scale the wall.
How did the terrorists enter in the first place:
Arun Jaitley, the finance minister of India said that the security forces were completely successful in averting any damage to the strategic assets in the base. Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said yesterday that there were gaps, but security was not comproimised.
One clearly fails to understand this statement. What about the fact that the terrorists managed to enter the base in the first place. The air base is one of the strategic points for the Indian Air Force. In almost all Indo-Pak wars, this is the base that the enemy looks to target as it tends to cripple the air force.
Parrikar himself said at the press briefing yesterday that his worry was how did they manage to enter? This air base a wall of 10 feet with concertina coil of 2 feet.
As per the initial account that the NIA has got, two of the terrorists reached the base earlier and provided fire cover while the rest entered. While the securing of strategic assets is commendable questions do arise over how they entered the base in the first place. Was the security mechanism at the base not alert?

View from the chair - update
Ok so my contribution to this journal is going to feature lots of interesting and lovely things and reach out well beyond the scope of politics, but for the time being I do feel I need to have a bit of a look back over the last few days and share some thoughts on what happened.
Well the first thing that happened of course is that the polls got it wrong. Not wrong like when someone accidentally writes "Kevin" instead of "Kelvin", nor like when someone writes "Fuck" instead of "Duck". What we have here is wrong like when someone cuts their arm off with a chainsaw instead of writing "Happy Birthday Joyce". That wrong.
"But why?" I hear you ask, "How could such a thing have happened?". Let me first offer some suggestions to explain the actual result, and then finish off by giving my little bit about what I think actually went wrong with the polls.
So first of all, the obvious question is "Why did the Tories do so well?". The straight answer of course is that they didn't. If you actually look at it, they got just over a third of the votes cast, and just under two thirds of the eligible population actually cast their vote. Lets dumb down and say they got a third of the votes cast and two thirds of people voted. So they got one third of two thirds of the possible vote. To put it in simple terms, that means that less than a quarter of the people who could have voted actually voted Tory. Yes, I'm afraid you read that right. A party that represents the final decision of less than a quarter of us now hold a majority in our government and as such doesn't have to ask for anybody else's help in order to do the things they want to do. It's like Metallica headlining Glastonbury all over again, not many people really wanted it, it happened anyway, and in retrospect most people thought it was a bad idea. So as a result, we have possibly the most controversial figure in the modern history of British politics, Michael Gove (a man so odiously right wing that even David Cameron had to remove him from the education job), responsible for justice in the UK and already planning to remove the basic legal protection that is afforded to human rights in this country. Yeah, yeah, I know, Abu Hamza and all that, there are better ways believe me. On top of that we have a new senior cabinet minister who wants to bring back the death penalty. Yet again, I know I don't speak to all of you, but seriously? I mean, seriously? We won't need a referendum on Europe soon, they'll kick us out and then we'll have to become the 51st state/Airstrip One depending on whether you prefer film or media references. Sorry, I've gone a bit serious haven't I. Maybe I just need to say "Arse" here to lighten the mood a little.
Ok, so why did Labour do so badly? Avoiding bacon sandwich references this time (except for that one just there), they simply went into the campaign with no balls, and ironically have come out of the election having lost their Balls. See what I did there? You're with me yes? So anyway, to me Mr Milliband's big mistake was trying to do a Blair 1997 and take the Tory vote having unfortunately forgotten that they also needed the Labour vote. In 1997 Labour managed to retain pretty much all of their core voters as they were still called "Labour" and the future was still unknown but by undeniably stepping to the right they also stole vast swathes of the Tory vote but then ended up losing their core voters over the next 13 years. What they should have done at this election is have the guts to try to bring some of their natural supporters back into the fold, but they didn't, they continued to court the supporters they already had, and by now a lot of them had already gone back to being blue having recognised that Milliband was no Blair. The result was a mixed message, a not particularly charismatic leader wanting to be the next Tony Blair and appeal to and retain the new voters brought into the fold in 1997 yet wanting to come across as a proper Labour leader capable of attracting proper Labour votes. The Blairite ambitions were the only thing that kept the level of support he did get, the attempts to appeal to the left failed and only succeeded in getting him the woefully inaccurate nickname "Red Ed" from brain dead pond scum such as Katy Hopkins. The overall result was a large number of disaffected Labour voters wanting to be mopped up somewhere, and a couple of leaders savvy enough to have pre-equipped themselves with the latest range from Vileda. That's a mop brand by the way, a good one, very good quality mops, very absorbent and quite reasonably priced.
So who brought the mops?
Well there are two main facets to the traditional Labour core vote. There are left wing people and there are working class people, and the two don't necessarily go hand in hand.
The largest spread of left wing voters in the UK has always been north of the border in Scotland, and here we have seen the first and possibly most devastating application of a mop. Theories abound concerning the runaway success of the SNP in this election, but I'm not entirely convinced that we have seen a further runaway appetite for independence. Instead, I think the single most plausible answer is that Labour no longer appealed to the left wing vote base and that the SNP were pretty much brave enough to say everything that Kinnock was saying back in the day when most of Scotland voted for him. Nicola Sturgeon seems to have done everything bar shaving most of her head, dyeing the remaining small amount of it ginger and falling over on a beach in Brighton. Though who knows, maybe she did once fall over on beach in Brighton but was sensible enough not to do it as part of a photocall for the national press, therefore avoiding ending up looking like a twat. The major success up there amongst the thistles has of course come as a result of the fact that everyone used to vote labour, so everyone has now voted SNP.
The second wielder of the Mop of Labour Doom have been UKIP, and it's debatable whether theirs is the greater or lesser success story. The main difference has been that they were standing in seats which had a significant level of support for parties other than Labour, and despite managing to steal a huge amount of the working class support in those seats (and polling significantly higher in terms of actual votes than the SNP), support for the Tories largely held up meaning their impressive vote share didn't translate to an impressive seat share. Good old barmy Nigel of course promptly resigned, but since then his party have promptly unresigned him. So he's back, black collared coat, pint of beer, unreasonable opinions and all.
Balance of course dictates that I allot a certain amount of text to the Lib Dems. They got royally shafted and nobody is ever ever every going to trust them again. Well, not for a long time. But do you know what's sad in a small way? These were the only ones who stopped a rampant Tory party from taking steps that even Thatcher shied away from. Like them or not, they moderated the extremities of the previous government yet have taken every inch of the rap for everything bad that's happened in the last five years. David Cameron must be thinking the coalition was the best thing he ever did. Nick Clegg must be thinking "Bastard".
Other parties were involved of course, and I think the Greens stole enough seats across the board to be pleased with their percentage and fucked right off with their number of seats. Plaid Cymru polled as well as anyone expected, but are not yet in a position to be given a mop (having to make do with a floorcloth made out of someone's old pants for the time being). Northern Ireland returned its usual mixture of Sinn Fein, Alliance and various parties whose names end in "UP" (Ulster Unionist party, Democratic Unionist Party, Fully Unconceivable Crimson Kettle Unionist Party - I shall pause while you catch up with me...).
So what are we now left with?
Well, in the cheese shop that is the United Kingdom, The Tories are a Large block of mild cheddar, Labour are The Wallace and Gromit themed Wensleydale, SNP are a new previously untried Cheese that has turned out to be surprisingly tasty, UKIP are processed generic English Cheese which is largely ignored by serious consumers but popular with the cheese on toast brigade, Plaid Cymru are the small block of Caerphilly which sells to a few dedicated consumers, The Greens are Yarg (popular in the South West and wrapped in hand foraged nettle leaves), The Irish parties are a mixture of Dromona and Coleraine cheeses and the Lib Dems are the very small remaining piece of Stinking Bishop which has been on the shelf for the last five years and which nobody is prepared to touch any more.
Between me and you, I'm still quite partial to Wensleydale.
As to what went wrong with the polls? I genuinely think it's simple. A large number of people were always going to going to vote UKIP, but in my limited firsthand experience, not nearly as many people were prepared to say openly that they were going to vote UKIP. It's like a guilty secret. So I reckon that a lot of the people who declared as undecided were very much decided yet not prepared to say so and that it's here that the doom of Ed Milliband had already been played out but not yet revealed. See, easy
Peace out.
Just over a year on & we have a twice membership-elected socialist labour party leader & were out of the EU or are we…. oh & two weeks away from a possible Donald trump presidency….lol
Any jobs going? Zero hours is fine.
