New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - August 2, 1995, New Braunfels, Texas Herald-Zeitung □ Wednesday, August 2,1995 □ 9Personals In memory of her husband, Werner O. Rahe, Mrs. Delia S. Rahe donated a bench to Lone Star Primary School. A plaque on the bench reads, "In Memory of Warner O. Rahe and in Appreciation of His Years of Service to Children, 1937-1971."

When we launched Kickstand last week, we did so with a long term plan. It was to launch our flagship desk (the one that's for sale now) and add smaller, less expensive desks closer to the holiday season in the US. We figured that it would take some time before anyone noticed who we were. Oops.
Last week, Wired Magazine wrote a review of our desk. This was awesome, albeit a bit snarky. We were nonetheless extremely flattered and excited.
Thanks Wired for the coverage!

The England international has played a mere 108 minutes of first-team football since Klopp took over from Brendan Rodgers in October.
The 26-year-old has been linked with a potential move to top-four chasing West Ham United in the January transfer window.
However, former Tottenham Hotspur manager Hoddle believes Liverpool manager Klopp would be foolish to sell his prized striker.
Hoddle told BT Sport: "Talent like that, you've got to keep him and hope he gets his body right."
The former Chelsea and Manchester City striker scored a brilliant brace in a 6-1 League Cup win at Southampton at St Mary's in December in a rare appearance under the Borussia Dortmund manager.
Sturridge moved to Liverpool in a £12m deal from defending Premier League champions Chelsea in January 2013 under Klopp's predecessor, Brendan Rodgers.

The term chic cruise may sound like an oxymoron, but if such a thing really exists, then the MS Kasr Ibrim is it. Though the luggage being brought up the gangway at Aswan consisted of pull-along plastic suitcases rather than old leather trunks and hatboxes, and although the passengers were dressed in Bermuda shorts and polo shirts rather than layers of cream linen, boarding the MS Kasr Ibrim was like stepping into an Agatha Christie novel.
The boat itself is a replica of the sort of steamer Christie's characters journeyed down the Nile on. Unlike most modern cruisers on the river, it is compact (55 cabins plus a handful of suites) and tastefully decorated in 1920s style (curved wooden furniture and pristine rows of cream cushioned steamer chairs on deck). If Coco Chanel had designed a yacht, it would have looked like this.
The Kasr Ibrim's itinerary is a gentle jaunt around the man-made Lake Nasser, taking in lesser-known temples and tombs rescued from the area flooded by the creation of the Aswan dam, before culminating in a stop at the magnificent Abu Simbel.
Cox & Kings is aiming the trip at the second- or even third-time Egypt visitor. The idea is that after you've experienced Cairo, Luxor and a Nile cruise, then you'll come back for another hit, this time on a less-travelled route. It is certainly less hectic.
While the 150-mile stretch of Nile between Aswan and Luxor is packed with some 250 cruisers, Lake Nasser is a spacious 310 miles long and accommodates just eight boats. Admittedly, there's a lot less to see than on the river, but it is perfect for those who prefer the tranquil to the exciting - those who enjoy cruising for cruising's sake.
And while the marketeers are getting excited about the younger profile of cruising clientele, this is still very much the preserve of the (affluent) retired.
I was intrigued to find out who my fellow passengers would be, especially as my ex-boyfriend's parents had been on a Nile cruise while in their early sixties and claimed they were the youngest on board, bar the crew. However, our fellow passengers were not in the least decrepit - they were mostly spritely individuals in their late fifties or early sixties, with a smattering of thirty- and forty-somethings.
Our trip had its share of intriguing Christie-esque characters though: the eccentric French couple in the presidential suite who never mixed with the rest of the passengers; the lone Egyptian who bombarded the guide with superfluous questions; the tall English woman permanently dressed in clothes more suited to a big game hunt. Add to this a group of frisky French retirees, and there was more than enough to keep us amused.
The first port of call (although bizarrely we hadn't left the port at this point) was an island just west of the High Dam, to visit the temples of Kalabsha, Beit Wali and Kertassi. We were taken across in two launches, guards standing astride the bow touting sub-machine guns, an indication of how seriously the government takes the security of tourists. It was the same story on land, with guards dotted about with various weapons. This is meant to reassure rather than alarm you, but it is hard not to be distracted while you are meant to be checking out antiquities.
Cruising, you soon realise, is based around drink. The days are punctuated by it: mid-morning? Here's a pot of coffee. Crossing the Tropic of Cancer? How about a cocktail? 5pm? Time for tea.
Nothing prepares you for the sight of Abu Simbel approached from the water. The guide books may urge you to take a day-trip down from Aswan by plane, but only by taking a five-day cruise are you truly able to appreciate the massive temple dedicated to Ramses II and the slightly smaller, but no less awesome, one to his wife, Nefertari. We had been told to start looking out for Abu Simbel half an hour before we were due to reach it. I was singularly unimpressed by the grey hulk on the horizon until I borrowed somebody's binoculars and focused on the four colossal figures hewn from a mountain of rock that marks the main temple's entrance. From then on in, I was hooked.
By staying overnight at Abu Simbel, we were able to visit the temples in both daylight and darkness (the light show is said to be the best in Egypt). And by staying aboard a boat rather than at a hotel, there was the added, if slightly surreal, pleasure of an al fresco candlelit dinner as the boat moved back and forth in front of the floodlit temples.
Most of our fellow passengers left on the crack-of-dawn flight to Aswan the next day, but thankfully we were booked on the more civilised (and massively oversubscribed) mid-morning plane. By this point, I was feeling a little templed-out, so a few days in the colonial splendour of the Old Cataract in Aswan was a welcome prospect. It did not disappoint. We were warned not to expect unadulterated luxury, and it was actually a relief to have old-fashioned, slightly-beaten-at-the-edges grandeur rather than the antiseptic, corporate blandness that five-star hotels sometimes provide.
The place oozes character. It is a cocoa-powder-coloured sprawl with terraces, verandahs and balconies, and shutters, drapes and latticed woodwork providing shady retreats from the sun. Even the corridors are designed on a grand scale - over-sized to cartoonish proportions with great swathes of draped fabrics at the entrance ways. It is easy to imagine Christie here, drawing inspiration from the well-heeled "wintering" guests and concocting the plot for Death On The Nile (the hotel is name-checked in the book and the exterior was shot for the 1978 film version).
By the pool, a woman with her white hair in a bun, dressed in a leopard-print kaftan and with an Empire accent that carried, took me back to another era as I dozed on a sunlounger. You could easily enjoy Aswan without ever leaving the Old Cataract. You can even peruse a good deal of it from the hotel - from the cool, canopied terrace there is an unprecedented view of the Nile, Elephantine Island, and the desert beyond. But it is hard to resist taking a felucca from the hotel's dock to explore one of the Nile's islands, or just for the pleasure of sailing on one of these graceful vessels.
We headed for Sharia el Souk, reputedly the best bazaar outside Cairo. A stroll through the main street is a white knuckle experience. Even if you avoid eye contact, you are ambushed every step of the way by overeager salesmen, and if you stop to look at anything, you will be positively swamped.
It is a working market with stalls full of brightly coloured spices and, hanging from doorways, cuts of meat hanging from doorways with the tails still attached. You will see plenty of traditional Egyptian robes as well as some bejewelled belly-dancer costumes that wouldn't look out of place in the Ann Summers catalogue.
That evening, dinner was a Nubian feast served in a ridiculously romantic location - the tea pavilion at the Old Cataract overlooking the Nile. All over the city, horns were sounding to signify the end of Ramadan. I took a sip of local wine and tried to remember that is was mid-winter back home.

Bentley Vehicles
Founded by engineer W.O. Bentley in the aftermath of World War I, Bentley's initial sales success was built upon its early competition success, most notably with iconic wins in the 24 Hours of LeMans. Regrettably, success at the track couldn't surmount its lack of success on the showroom. In the downturn of the Great Depression Bentley went into receivership, its assets and brand acquired by Rolls-Royce. More recently a one-for-two-split put Rolls ownership with BMW while the Volkswagen Group acquired Bentley.
In 2017 Bentley offers one part history and multiple visions of today. Its least expensive offering, the Continental, is arguably also the most fun to drive. It also remains the most popular, but will probably be surpassed in sales by the all new Bentayga SUV. If shopping for the most expensive Bentley, check the Mulsanne box. And if you want a large dose of VW engineering and development, the Flying Spur is the appropriate choice.
2011 Bentley Continental$71,777 / 27,895 miles / CA

Kanoa : New girl!Mature
"Hey!" I say to Heather, who is sitting next to me getting her pencilcase out. "I'm Kanoa and I have a crush on cherries."
"Oh, cool!" She replies, spotting my cherry pencilcase and nodding, "I'm Heather, and yeah, you probably know I'm uh....good with gymnastics."
"Good?" I ask, raising one of my eyebrows. "You're brilliant!" Heather grins at me, blushing a little.
"In fact," I add, taking a piece of scrap paper from my planner. "Please give me an autograph, so when you become famous I can boast to everyone about how I got Heather Willow's first ever autograph and sat next her in secondary school. Then I'll photocopy it and sell it on ebay for 100 quid. Then I'll get another autograph from you, as a friend, of course, I'll say I lost this one, then I'll sell this one here on ebay for ten times the amount because it isn't photocopied." Heather just blinks at me.
"I don't think anyone would buy a photocopied autograph."
"Really?" I ask, disappointed. Heather shakes her head at me. I frown, oh well. I push the piece of scrap paper towards her, and Heather signs in an amazing handwriting.
"Thank you!" I exclaim, and I give her a small hug. We return to our equations.
Gosh, how can anyone be bothered with this?
I turn to Abbie.
"Hey, nerd!" I call, Abbie turns to look at me. "What's the answer to 369 times 285?" I test her.
"Hmm.....One moment." Abbie replies. I see her reach into her bag, take out a scientific calculator, and press a few keys into it under the table where she thought I couldn't see.
"One hundred and five thousand, one hundred and sixty five!" she says cheekily.
"Cheat!" I answer, "I saw you using a calculator!"
"And five.......four....." Mr Kessidy shouts, "Three.....two.......one.....and the following people will be staying back at break...." His hand poised on the whiteboard. He always does that, telling us if he wrote our name on the board then we'd have to stay behind at break. Of course, that never happens, because we immediately go silent. Although sometimes, if we kept talking after he said that, he would just repeat it louder. Maybe sir is scared to keep us behind?

That would be pretty cool. Modern ammo makes mouse guns roar.
This is a discussion on An engineering exercise for .32 & .380 pistols. within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; For the past year Buffalo Bore has been producing +P loads for the .32 ACP and .380 ACP pistols. the ballistics for their Hardcast bullet ...
For the past year Buffalo Bore has been producing +P loads for the .32 ACP and .380 ACP pistols. the ballistics for their Hardcast bullet loads are as follows:
.32 ACP (+p): a 77-grain hardcast @ 1150 fps/220fpe
.380 ACP (+P): a 100-grain hardcast @ 1150 fps/293 fpe
I propose that either Kel-Tec or Ruger could produce slightly longer barrel/slide pistols in these respective calibers (much as the europeans did during the early 20th century.) these polymer-framed pistols could still retain their "blowback" actions, but would STILL weigh less than their earlier counterparts. The longer slides barrels would produce reasonably higher velocities (with the high-performance ammunition) yet still be light enough for better hip-holster carry.
An example of this could be seen as a 4.5" barrel on a .32 ACP using the aforementioned ammunition would likely produce 1175 fps/236 fpe. A .380 of similar proportions would likely generate 1175 fps/306 fpe.
With a single-stack magazine, these pistols could be flat enough for concealed carry; a double-column magazine could still be concealed, but would be well suited to packing in a hip holster. Up to 19 rounds of "extra spicy" .380 or 21 rounds of the +P .32 loads wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility.
Isn't modern ballistic technology wonderful?
That would be pretty cool. Modern ammo makes mouse guns roar.
Once you get into that size, couldn't you just go to a 9mm?

You then get into the "locked breech" pistols (which are heavier.) The simplicity of the blowback pistols were well-known in longer barreled handguns. Beretta produced a 4.5 barreled .380 during the 1950's. The modern polymer-framed pistols would reduce the weight, yet permit the use of modern, high-powered ammunition.
Before you mention it, Kel-Tec produces the PF9 with a 3.1" barrel. You are, however, sacrificing performance with the shorter barrel. The straight, blowback 32's and .380's could possibly launch these hardcast bullets at 1200 fps. The .32 would generate 246 fpe and the .380 would churn out 319 fpe! Those are darned healthy figures for "little" blowback pieces. These are not being touted as "deep concealment" pieces, though they could be used as such.
Remember: the Ruger LCP and Kel-Tec are already rated for +P ammunition. These pistols would simply be a "back to the future" approach to the earlier european pistols. If desired, you could even stake adjustable sights upon them.
Bear in mind that there is a large segment of the population that doesn't care for the recoil of the 9mm (as light as it may seem to most of the board members.) The longer barrels (and relatively high capacities) of these pistols will permit the "recoil sensitive" segment of the shooting population to repeatedly "burn off" a long string of these smaller caliber cartridge in rapid succession with impunity. This will increase the likelihood of hits on the agressor and facilitate the victim's escape.
I see a couple flaws in your plan;I propose that either Kel-Tec or Ruger could produce slightly longer barrel/slide pistols in these respective calibers (much as the europeans did during the early 20th century.) these polymer-framed pistols could still retain their "blowback" actions
* Both of the pistols you are re-engineering are already locked breech actions, they are not blowback.
* As already mentioned, the recoil would be greatly increased. Why not go to the 9mm
* The main reason people buy these guns is their small size and weight...which you just increased to 9mm size and weight. Bigger is bad.
* The NAA Guardian already has a souped-up .32 caliber pistol in the .32NAA.
When people buy a pocket gun, they do so with the realization that it's strickly a defensive gun. One doesn't expect to fight armies or hunt moose with it. They have limits and that's a fact. Changing the good qualities of a gun to make it something else lessens the desirability of that gun IMO.
I too am a fan of the .380 caliber. I think it's highly under rated, but to each his own I say. Great post on the possibilities for the rounds mentioned and I hope the research and manufacturing to add to the punch continues. It's nice to have such a small and easy to conceal pocket rocket available to the folks that just don't want to tote around a chunk all day without a huge compromise to SD.
One thing I did notice in the post that I'm fairly certain of though. The Ruger LCP isn't rated for +p ammo per the manual. I wish it was, but all the info I've come across say's no. JFYI
The LCP manual does say NO +P. No ambiguity there.The Ruger LCP isn't rated for +p ammo per the manual. I wish it was, but all the info I've come across say's no. JFYI
A lighweight holster-sized autoloader with .32 ACP perfromance running up into the .32 H&R Magnum ranges and the .380 ACP that has power reaching well into 9 X 18 Makarov territory should sell quite well.
No matter how fast you push a 77 grain bullet, its still a 77 grain bullet. It might penetrate enough, it might do the job, or it might not. The same, of course, goes for anything, everything just seems to get less sure the lighter and smaller the bullet.
The reason mouse guns exist is they are small, light, and easy to carry. Bumping the size up of the gun makes them makes less sense, since the same number of 9x19 or .380 cartridges will fit in a magaine, they both shoot .355 bullets and the 9x19 is only 2mm longer than the .380. The reason the 9x19 offers such a performance boost is higher pressure and longer OAL, allowing for heavier bullets. If one increases the size of the gun, one might as well go with the 9x19mm.
Perhaps there is a nitch market for flat polymer pistols with service barrels, but if there is, there is no reason not to chamber said guns in 9x19.

Unless you are an undercover cop or a lifeguard you need to carry at least
a J frame or a compact 9mm.
If you want a mousegun as a BUG , fine - in that case it just has to go bang
and be able to punch holes in eyes, eardrums, and foreheads.

"If I walk in the woods, I feel much more comfortable carrying a gun. What if you meet a bear in the woods that's going to attack you? You shoot it."
{Bernhard Goetz}
If these pistols didn't fulfill their intended role, why did they sell well until the enaction of the 1968 Gun Control Act? This also raises the question, "Why are pistols of this type (in excellent condition) still commanding premium prices"?
Take a long, hard look at ballistics by the inch. Then bump up the velocities for the Buffalo Bore offerings. After that, you can deride my proposition all you wish.
Don Quixote, mount your steed!
P.S. According to my calculations, a Walther PPK/S will get the 1150 fps/ 293 fpe figures. A 4.00" barreled Beretta "Cheetah" will gain approximately another 37 fps (1187 fps) and generate a minimum of 312 fpe. Such an increase over most American .380 loads is quite substansial!

- Article Summary
- Drug Overdose Demographics
- Drug Overdose Volume
Drug Overdose Statistics
- Drug overdose statistics (referring to drug-induced deaths) have increased over the last several decades. Today's drug overdose deaths are most often due to prescription drugs. Recent drug overdose statistics show that depressants, opioids and antidepressants are responsible for more drug-induced deaths (45%) than heroin, cocaine, meth and amphetamines combined (39%). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that in 2008, 20,044 drug overdose deaths were the result of prescription drugs. 14,800 of the 20,044 drug overdose deaths in 2008 were due to narcotic painkillers. The states with the highest drug overdose death rates are New Mexico, West Virginia, Nevada, Utah and Alaska. However, the states with the highest prescription drug abuse rates are Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington State, Rhode Island and Kentucky.
Drug Overdose Demographics
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that the areas with the highest death rates are often rural regions or impoverished counties. Several states have passed new laws to monitor the prescribing and prescription filling of narcotic painkillers. These new laws have made some difference. Washington State has seen a lowered prescription drug death rate since these new laws have come into effect.
- Information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals that the prescription drug overdose death rate among non-Hispanic whites and American Indians/Alaska Natives is three times higher than among Blacks and Hispanic whites.
- Statistics on drug overdose from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control show that in 2007, 38,371 drug-induced deaths took place in the United States. This statistics reveals that drug-induced mortality rates increased between 2003 and 2006 yet declined somewhat in 2007. Drug overdose deaths were higher for males than females every year. In 2007, rates for non-Hispanic white male drug overdose deaths were 64% greater than those for non-Hispanic white females. During 2007, drug-induced mortality rate increases where highest for non-Hispanic whites while Hispanics did not see an increase in drug overdose deaths. In all the years reviewed (2003-2007), the highest rates overall in drug overdose deaths were among non-Hispanic whites. During this same time period (2003-2007), Asians and Pacific Islanders showed markedly lower rates of drug overdose deaths than all other groups. Between 2003 and 2007, females with the highest rates of drug overdose deaths were either American Indian or Alaskan Natives except for in 2006. Between 2003 and 2007, males with the highest rates were either non-Hispanic blacks or non-Hispanic whites.
- Back in the 80's and 90's the majority of drug overdose deaths were a result of illegal drug abuse (i.e. cocaine, heroin etc.) and drug overdose deaths were higher among blacks than whites. 2002 is the year when this changed. In 2002, the rates for Caucasian drug overdose deaths surpassed those for blacks. This change is attributed to the increase in prescription drug abuse as mentioned above. In the early 2000's, prescription drugs such as opioid painkillers and psychotherapeutic drugs were prescribed more widely by physicians. Drug users began to supplement their illegal drugs with prescription medications leading to an increase in drug-related overdose deaths.
- It is assumed that members of racial and/or ethnic minorities were less affected by this change in prescription drug abuse because they are statistically less likely to use prescription drugs in turn making them less likely to abuse prescription medications. Additional studies of primarily Caucasian populations report that drug overdose deaths are greatest among low-income people, the reasons behind this statistic however are unclear.
Drug Overdose Volume
- Recent government data from 2009 shows that drug deaths (37,485 people) now surpass traffic fatalities in the United States. Statistics show that the death toll has doubled in the last 10 years, taking a life every 14 minutes. Public health experts share that this is the first time in history that drug related deaths have accounted for more fatalities than traffic accidents. The government has been following drug-induced deaths since 1979.
- Prescription drugs are the primary reason that drug overdose deaths have increased so dramatically. The two most common types of prescription drugs abused are prescription pain medications and anxiety drugs. These types of prescription drugs are very potent, highly addictive and tremendously dangerous when they are combined with each other and/or alcohol. Some of the most commonly abused are OxyContin, Vicodin, Xanax and Soma. Another prescription pain drug that is causing drug overdose deaths is Fentanyl. In 2007, Fentanyl killed more than 1,000 people in the United States. Fentanyl is estimated to be 30-50 times more powerful than heroin and 100 times more powerful than morphine.
- Drug overdose death statistics reveal that people from all walks of life and all age groups are suffering from drug-induced deaths. A study conducted by the Journal of the American Medical Association between 1999 and 2004 found that Caucasian women showed an increase of 136.5% in unintentional drug-related deaths. This was followed by young adults 15-24 years old who had an increase of 113.3% between 1999 and 2004 in unintentional drug-related deaths. A recent report by the Center for Disease Control suggests that it is men and middle-aged persons who are most likely to suffer unintentional drug-related deaths.
- 2009 drug overdose statistics provided by the Drug Abuse Warning Network shows that there were 198,403 emergency department visits resulting from drug-related suicide attempts. A majority of these drug-related suicide attempts, 94.2% involved a prescription drug or over-the-counter medication. The same study found that 38.1% of the total 198,403 emergency department visits resulting from drug-related suicide attempts involved pain relievers (14.9% narcotic pain relievers, 12.1% acetaminophen products and 9.6% nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents e.g. ibuprofen).
- 65.1% of the 198,403 emergency department visits involved more than one drug, 31.2% involved alcohol and 17.9% involved illegal drugs. Of the 17.9% emergency department visits due to drug-related suicide attempts cocaine (9.1%) and marijuana (7.1%) were the most common illicit drugs ingested. Heroin use was responsible for 2.5% of the 198,403 drug-related suicide attempt emergency department visits, stimulants 1.7%, ecstasy (MDMA) .5%, PCP .6%, and inhalants .2%. Additional data from the 2009 Drug Abuse Warning Network shows the rate of drug-related suicide attempt visits for females (77.4 visits per 100,000 population) was higher than that for males (51.5 visits per 100,000).

If Henson does not take the number 2 spot this camp, then they will still be looking elsewhere for the future. I'm not drinking the Kool Aid Jim Jones, Romo is not the future. (Jerry Jones will see to that) By the way Bledso will be starter for atleast 2years if we don't win it all this year. Romo will get a hard look, but only because this is the last year of his contract. This is my take on it. Take it or leave it.

Kent detectives investigating the death of 56-year-old Remi Surage are appealing for witnesses to the attack in Orpington High Street at 2.30pm on Tuesday. After being stabbed, Mr Surage staggered a few yards to a church hall where he was given first aid, but he died later in Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup.
Mr Surage, from Croydon, was able to tell detectives he had been attacked by two white men whom he passed sitting on a bench near the war memorial. He described the man who stabbed him as very scruffy with short cropped hair and aged around 30 to 35.
Mr Surage, who was 5ft 5ins tall and walked with a stoop following a severe stroke, had been staying with his sister in the Orpington area after being released from hospital about a month ago.
Detective Chief Inspector Brian Bowden-Brown, leading the investigation said: "The motive for the murder I don't know at the present moment but race is a possibility ... This does seem to be an unprovoked attack."

A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier, written and read by Ishmael Beah (8½hrs unabridged, Isis, £26.99)
When Ishmael, aged 12, his older brother, Junior, and a schoolfriend, Talloi, say goodbye to friends and family in their Sierra Leone village in 1993 to take part in a talent contest in Mattru Jong (they're budding rap artists), they are unaware that this is the last time they'll see any of them. For two years the rebels of the Revolutionary United Front, founded by Charles Taylor of Liberia (who is currently on trial in The Hague for war crimes), have been burning and butchering their way through the country. Beah's village is overrun, the survivors flee, and so begins Ishmael's quest (Junior and Talloi have disappeared) to be reunited with his family. He's not alone. The jungles of Sierra Leone are full of lost children desperate for food, and even more desperate to avoid capture by the RUF, whose brutality is legendary. The only alternative is to enlist as a boy soldier with the regular army, who, it turns out, are every bit as brutal as the rebels. Military life is divided into three activities: frontline killing, watching war films ("We all wanted to be like Rambo") and taking drugs - marijuana and brown-brown, a mixture of cocaine and gunpowder. This is not for the squeamish: some of the massacres Ishmael witnesses and participates in are spinechilling, but you'd be pushed to find a truer or more powerfully told eyewitness account of the reality, cruelty and futility of war.
Rathcormick: A Childhood Recalled, by Homan Potterton, read by Gerry O'Brien (9½hrs unabridged, Soundings, £26.99)
And now, as they say, for something completely different - so different that it's hard to believe that these two boyhood memoirs describe the lives of children living on the same planet. Homan is the youngest of eight children growing up in the 1950s at Rathcormick, a Georgian farmhouse in County Meath that has been inhabited over the last 300 years by 10 generations of Pottertons. It's the sort of old-fashioned childhood - bicycles, picnics, holidays by the sea, eccentric relatives - that you associate with Enid Blyton, except that there isn't a single adventure of any kind. Unless you count Mr Potterton, referred to by the family as "Himself", driving his Ford Prefect at 30 miles an hour in the middle of the road to avoid being hit by stray croquet balls from the gardens he passes. The Pottertons are protestants, but not the snooty Anglo-Irish kind of protestants with titles. Mrs Potterton wins the bottled fruit prize at the local show every year with the same jar of pickled pears, and every December puts the bottle of Sanatogen Tonic Wine her husband has given her for Christmas on the same shelf in the pantry. It's not exactly life's rich tapestry, but the author's dry wit, elegant style and fascination with domestic minutiae somehow keep you gripped.
The Last Cigarette, written and read by Simon Gray (4¾hrs abridged, Faber, £14.99)
This is the third in Gray's series The Smoking Diaries (the first two are coming out later this year - no, don't ask me why audio publishers do things backwards), but if you count his other autobiographical books, this is his seventh published diary. So why, you may ask, should we be interested in how a second-division playwright (albeit one with premier-division playwright friends such as Pinter and Stoppard, to whom he refers constantly) manages to quit smoking? Because he's a very good diary writer - nearly as good as Tony Benn. There's an art to describing what you've done on holiday, why you don't want to commit suicide, what Pinter sounds like when he's angry (terrifying). It's clearly what stops Gray turning into a grumpy old man and becoming a very funny and entertaining grumpy old diarist instead. It helps enormously that he's reading it - grumpily, of course.

Jago: The Millennium Galaxy Race
Book by: Anon Amous
Status: Finished
Genre: Action and Adventure
Chapter4 (v.1) - Sacrifice
4. Sacrifice
"Wha-do-i-do?! Wha-do-i-do?! Wha-do-i-do?!" I asked her in full panic mode.
"First off, relax! It's hard to focus when you're screaming at me. Second of all… Uhh… I have to try and remember to how activate the sync rings."
"Are you serious? He's coming for me!" I looked around for anything that could help me but there was nothing in sight. There was no point in running; he could cut me off at any angle.
"Rei, do you remember what that thug said on Epsilon about activating the sync rings?"
"What?" I asked, but apparently she was talking to someone else who was with her because I heard a girl's faint voice in the background.
"Yeah, he said to touch the middle part of your left pinky with your thumb. Are you ready?"
"Just a sec," came Akiko's voice.
My mind went blank again as the Quwallie stopped right in front of me. I wanted to move, but I couldn't bring myself to. Somehow I was able to take a step back, but that was the wrong move because the Quwallie was fast and as soon as he saw my glimmer of fear, he grabbed me by the neck and lifted me high in the air.
Blood gushed to my head, and the thought of it popping off my body in a geyser of blood crossed my mind. This was it, the end of my life.
Akiko's voice was drifting away, "I can see, turning on the sync rings now and activating."
My arms that were gripping the Quwallie's arm tingled. Then they started twitching.
"I got this, just relax," she said.
Relax? That's easy, I've already accepted my fate.
All of a sudden my arms moved on their own, and quickly. I punch the inside of his forearm next to his elbow and it unlocked, then two more consecutive hits released his grip from my neck.
I think everyone in the stands was just as surprised as I was. When I hit the ground I didn't fall, instead I took on a defensive stance.
"What is this?" I whispered to myself.
The Quwallie shook his arm with an angry look on his face before charging at me. My instincts took over and I blocked my face from getting hit.
Akiko's voice rang in my ear, "Don't do that! I can't see!"
This time my legs tingled and moved just enough to barely dodge a deadly punch. This aggravated him and he started coming at me faster. My body moved around awkwardly dodging his blows.
"Just relax. I'm using the sync rings to control your arms and legs." It sounded like Akiko was moving around as well. "But I can't control your other body parts so you need to keep your eyes on him."
I jumped and ducked without thinking about it.
"You can see me?"
"No, I can see through your eyes." I blocked a punch and counter attacked, shifting his weight and causing him to stumble to the ground. The crowd loved it but I think I was in just as much pain. My muscles strained at every attack. "There's only so much I can do with your body, but we have to hold on a little longer. I heard Vaughan is coming up now."
I was too out of breath to respond and my arms and legs were throbbing.
"Once Vaughan's up, we'll finish it."
Finish it? There wasn't much time to think. The Quwallie obviously underestimated me at first because he was starting to get serious and that meant he was getting stronger and faster. He came at me with a right hook, I saw it coming so I was able to (or rather Akiko was able to) put my arm up to block but I couldn't hold my ground and I was sent flying across the arena.
Akiko cursed, "dammit, snap out of it kid!" my energy level was already almost at empty. "Rei how much longer?"
The other girl's voice came through my earpiece. "He just sat down at his booth."
"Good. I'm going to end it here." The Quwallie slowly made his way over to me, lifting his arms for the crowd to cheer.
"I'm gonna need you to muster everything you have left." She warned, "When he attacks I'm not stopping until he's down."
"Right," I grunted, "do what you need to."
I don't know how, but I was able to make it on my feet. I wasn't sure if we could defeat him but we were doing way better than I ever expected. I put my faith in Akiko. She was the only one who could help me beat him, and she had the confidence that she could. That's all I needed.
I took a deep breath and tried to relax my muscles to let her take over. I took on a different stance to prepare for his strike. He noticed this, scoffed, and then he took on a stance of his own.
The crowd became silent, like it was the first time the Quwallie had taken a challenge this seriously and they watched intently.
The suns' rays beat down on us. Sweat was dripping from every pore in my body and I was breathing just as fast as my heart was racing. I ignored the pain as we stood there, locked in a mind battle to see who moves first. I made sure to stay focused on him, only him. That was my only job.
My lead foot pivoted away from me, and then not a moment later, he struck. He was waiting for some sort of movement before attacking. The force he expelled was tremendous, but Akiko and I were ready for it and she had a plan. We exchanged blows and blocks and when she attacked, she struck areas that I would never think of hitting, using either the point of three fingers or the knuckles of two. Whenever he attacked I wouldn't block a direct hit anymore, instead I dodged every move or used his weight against him. After multiple strikes in certain areas of his arms, they went limp and Akiko instantly went to focus on his legs. Before I knew it he was on his knees and I had him in a choke hold. He still couldn't move his arms so he was left strangling in mine.
That was it, I had won. I actually won.
The crowd was in stunned silence. It took a moment as a murmur in the crowd soon turned into a chant, "Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"
I couldn't believe it, less than an hour ago he was everyone's favorite champion and now they all chanted in unison to kill him. It was sickening.
I wasn't sure if Akiko was still in control, but I wasn't going to let myself kill a now defenseless man. My arms and legs burned but I forced myself to let go of his neck and step back. He fell face-down in the dirt, unable to move.
Everyone booed and threw their trash at me. I didn't care. I wasn't going to take a man's life for their entertainment.
Soon an army of guards wearing protective gear and helmets came out. I didn't bother resisting. Apparently I was summoned by Vaughan. I was circled by at least 10 guards who all held electrified clubs and again I was handcuffed. I was getting pretty used to it. We made our way to a ramp that led directly to Vaughan's fortified booth at the top.
What happened to Akiko? I hadn't heard from her since we last spoke and it seemed like I was back in control of my body. I wanted to find out, but there was no way I could try to contact her in front of all the guards. Wasn't she supposed to ambush Vaughan while he was in his booth?
There was nothing I could do and I had no choice but to relinquish myself to the guards who stayed in a circle formation as we ascended up the arena wall. I didn't know what to expect.
"Well, well, well, that was an interesting spectacle," Vaughan applauded. He was sitting in a comfy looking chair, facing a glass wall that had an amazing view of the arena. Smoke filled the air around him from the puffer that was sticking out of his mouth.
The guards lined up neatly forming a semi-circle and blocking the only exit.
"So tell me," asked Vaughan. I could see his reflection in the mirror as he blew smoke from his nostrils. "Who was on the other side of your sync rings?"
What?! Was it that obvious? No, I didn't think so. Maybe in the beginning of the fight but after I got used to it I let Akiko take over my body and we were able to work pretty well together, or so I thought.
I couldn't respond.
"If you won't tell me then I have no use for you." He turned to a man in the corner of the room. "Kill him."
I never noticed the man in black clothing. A cloth covering his face, leaving only green eyes exposed. "Did you really think I'd let you fight my Quwallie in the open? Nothing gets passed his eyes."
Some guards behind me shoved me on my knees which gave out rather easily after the battle with the fake Quwallie. Two of the guards held down my shoulders but I was already too weak to fight back.
The real Quwallie walked up to me, unsheathed his sleek sword and held it high to take a swing at my head. I closed my eyes, hoping it would shut out any pain.

OMG! I was so shocked when they found out he was using sync rings! :D I can't wait to read on!
In the next part I introduce the rest of the crew so It'll be kind of slow as we learn more about the Jago, but It'll pick up again once the race starts! Thank you so much for giving me feedback!! I look forward to reading your stories :D
Well I must say that those rings sure would have come in handy with all those a*%hole bullies I had to deal with in school. My Stepdad would have been on the other end. He was the strongest man I ever knew(also one of the meanest).
Looks like our young man is upo s%#t creek right now.
Sorry, I was too struck reading to actually comment. Now I have to bc people are throwing trash at him haha! You gotta love folks! :D
The sync rings seem really cool! They've saved Trashs life more than once now hah. :D
Wait so why didn't Trash recognize the real Quwallie? Was it the same guy as before, a subtle hint that Trash is being played would be nice. Not necessary, but nice. Okay, so now he's about to get killed, like what the heck, Akiko!! She's really hanging him out t dry! :/

A LEGO® recreation of the penultimate scene in 'Deep Breath', Peter Capaldi's Doctor Who debut
"Ooh, you've got a dinosaur too!"
A silly LEGO® model I made of the pre-credits scene from Peter Capaldi's Doctor Who debut. I would have liked to have added fog, lighting effects and depth of field but Blender is mind-bendingly complicated and has an extremely steep learning curve.
Oh, and the TARDIS should probably have slime on it.
"The amount of LEGO we can have is obviously not an issue"
From The Guardian:
Centred around 'inquiry-based learning', the idea (behind Denmark's LEGO® school) is that children are more motivated when they generate their own questions. As one prospective parent of the new school put it: 'In the UK you're taught how to pass exams. In Scandinavia you're taught how to think.'
Me, I went to the LEGO® school of hard blocks.

Even better than the minifigs
These minimalist, abstract LEGO® portraits of characters from pop culture show you just how iconic some of these creations are, that they can be so readily identified from such basic shapes. Incredible.
Found object: 7:28pm, 6 March 2011
Incredible LEGO® MOC of the Russell T. Davies era TARDIS console from Doctor Who. Be sure to check out some of Mr. Xenomurphy's other LEGO® MOCs, including this LEGO® vignette featuring Lady Cassandra from the 2005 Doctor Who episode 'The End of the World'.
As the Ninth Doctor himself might have said, "Give the man a medal".
The Big LEGOwski
Nicely shot LEGO® recreation of certain scenes from the Coen Brothers' The Big Lebowski by Lennart Bendixen. The moustaches on LEGO® The Jesus's compadre are a nice touch. (Thanks to Phil Sherry for the link.)
"Where computational mechanics and LEGO meet"
A cool (if slightly over-dramatic) video detailing a reproduction of the Ancient Greek computing device known as the Antikythera Mechanism using plastic gears from a LEGO® Technic set.
The designer, Apple software engineer Andrew Carol, previously built a LEGO® Babbage Difference Engine.
Meanwhile, here's a pink LEGO® house I built for my daughter.

The first and second Matrix films had a handful of great sequences, but how much better would they have been if they'd been filmed in LEGO®vision?
Answer: this much better.
(Legomatrix, via GeekDad)
Found object: 9:56am, 22 October 2009
This was the first major LEGO® set I owned. Clearly I will never achieve my dream of being the first author to include it on one of their book covers. Damn you, Jan Kraśko. Damn you to space.

Shia LaBeouf fell hard for his Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps co-star Carey Mulligan and we all thought it was relationship bliss, but Carey tells a very different story — it sounds like they broke up!
"I'm moving back to England: it's a long story," the 25-year-old Academy Award nominated actress said at the premiere of her latest film, Never Let Me Go, in the West End of London adding, "I am spending some more time here at the moment," she said. "Just spending time with my family, really."
Carey and Shia, 24, fell madly in love on the set of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps in August 2009. Shia told GQ in April his relationship with Carey was so special, he didn't want want to jeopardize it by dishing the intimate details to the press.
"I never had anything in my life that was off-limits. But with this, just out of respect, I just don't want to f— around," he said, adding, "Neither one of us are fame whores. It works out!"
They seemed so happy together, we're devastated they broke up!
--Written by Russ Weakland for hollywoodlife.comAre you bummed to see this couple split, or did you think they were an odd match to begin with? Do you think we'll soon be hearing that they're back together?

Active citizens may contribute to the environmental, social, and institutional resilience of cities. This review discusses how citizen initiatives protect biodiversity hotspots, contribute to social cohesion, institutional innovation, and diversity in urban green space management. Challenges related to social inclusiveness, ecological connectivity and continuity suggest government involvement is pertinent, but needs to be refocused. To maximise environmental outcomes of active citizenship, governments may adopt an enabling and stimulating governance style that harnesses the transformative potential of active citizenship. This paper argues for mosaic governance to work with the heterogeneous array of people, institutions, and spatial practices associated with active citizenship. Mosaic governance aims for a context-sensitive way of urban green infrastructure planning, enhancing relationships between the diversity of landscapes and communities across cities.

More at About J. Neil Schulman.
Dear Neil
Stumbled upon your website while researching for a dissertation topic for my MBA.
You may want to provide a link to this site which I think encapsulates your own sentiments and beliefs.
As a "neutral" spectator of the social and ideological ills that are turning the USA against itself as well turning its friends into foes , I must say that my own opinion is that it's the dogma's (especially the religious faith and commercial types) which are at the heart of the decline and eventual fall of the USA as global leader.
The Russians and Chinese, although once devout communists who had destroyed their religious dogma's during the communist/socialsit revolutions, are now accelerating and will eventually surpass the USA. Thjey have a clearer way before them devoid of dogma and stigma associated with race, creed and faith.
Al Qaida is cleverly engaging USA in a religious war which in effect is merely a decoy while others strip the USA of their intellectual property and any other copyrights they stake a claim to. Remember it was Werner von Braun of Nazi Germany who invented the rocket and who was bestolen by the USA. I could list others but you get the picture no doubt.
So answer me this one question please:
Who owns the original manuscript(s) of the bible? And please don't be so foolish to say King Kames I or the Gideon Society.
So why is the USA not asking the originators "permission" to print/copy each new bible as well as their endorsement to restyle, rewrite and recontextualize it to suit their own particular interpretations?
America must stop measuring with two measures and start believing what their original native habitants rightly claimed that , "white man speaks with forked tongue".
After al what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Sore Feet
about dancers. any dancers. you choose.
I sit down and unlace my shoes. The laces have left big criss-cross marks across my feet, and my white socks are sweaty and smelly.
My feet are killing me.
And yet, I would not give up for anything in the world!
I love dancing. It is my life.
If I wasn't an Irish Dancer, I wouldn't be able to bear life any more. I get such a high when I'm dancing, I can never bear to come down again....

How to Make Your Veggies Even Better For You – The Healing Properties of Fermented Foods
Everyone knows that veggies are good for you. There would be no reason to feel a pang of guilt after eating a bag of Cheetos or a candy bar if you didn't know there was something out there that you should have eaten instead. Unfortunately, veggies are often not the first item we crave: gnawing on a head of broccoli while watching a movie is not quite as appealing as a bucket of popcorn.
While making your veggies more crave-worthy, appealing and even better for you may seem too good to be true, traditional fermentation techniques can work just short of miracles. Fermentation takes the natural health benefits of raw veggies and accentuates them with added nutrients, while increasing flavor, shelf life and beneficial probiotic bacteria as well.
The process of fermentation is an ancient preservation technique that was used before canning and freezing options were available. During the process, vegetables and sea salt are combined and set out at room temperature for several days or weeks, wherein the process of lacto-fermentation takes place. During this period the starches and sugars in the vegetables are broken down by lactobacilli (good bacteria found on the surface of all living things) and converted to lactic acid. Lactic acid then acts as a natural preservative and contributes to the long list of health benefits fermented foods provide.
This simple technique is one that everyone can master. With good quality produce and a bit of sea salt, you can transform a serving of veggies into a powerhouse of intensely nutrient rich food.
The benefits of fermentation include:
1. Lactic Acid: not only a natural preservative that keeps fermented foods from going bad, but also a digestive aid that promotes the growth of healthy bacteria and digestive enzymes throughout your intestine.
2. Probiotics: the healthy bacteria created in the fermentation process that are key to the function of your internal systems. Probiotics work to maintain PH levels in the body, which is essential to the health of your digestion and helps prevent the growth of bad bacteria in your body. Probitoics also help promote the physical function of your digestive system, helping move the food through your body efficiently. Recent studies link probiotics to immune health, low cholesterol, low blood pressure, strong intestinal walls, and overall vitality.
3. Lactobacilli: the bacteria found on the surface of all living things that facilitate the creation of lactic acid from vegetable starches and sugars. Lactobacilli are responsible for making fermented foods more digestible and increasing the vitamin levels that are available for your body's use. These good bacteria also help create many beneficial digestive enzymes as well as antibiotic and anti-carcinogenic matter. Enzymes: naturally produced chemicals that help your digestive system break down food and absorb nutrients.
4. Enzyme rich foods, like fermented veggies, can help supplement your natural enzyme production, which can deteriorate due to stress, environmental factors and poor diet. A healthy supply of digestive enzymes can help your body create energy more efficiently, stay healthy, regulate metabolism and feel less bloated or bogged down throughout the day.
5. Nutrients: good bacteria and digestive enzymes in fermented foods help create and release more available nutrients to your body. With better digestion, absorption and utilization of nutrients, your body will feel and perform better on an every day basis. Nutrients like Vitamin C (for immunity, and antioxidant function) as well as B vitamins (for energy creation and muscle function) are created during the fermentation process and readily used by the body.
