Get the Clarets newsletter
22:26 23rd August 2011
The Clarets made it into the last 32 of the Carling Cup, but once again had to work overtime to get past League Two opponents on another night of drama at Turf Moor.
A goal from substitute Chris McCann in the 105th-minute finally killed off Barnet, who showed that their first-round upset of Portsmouth was no flash in the pan.
For the second round running the Clarets saw a two-goal lead wiped out as the Londoners followed the lead of Burton Albion by forcing an injury-time equaliser to make it 2-2 and force extra time.
Goals from Jay Rodriguez - his fifth in two Carling Cup games - and Wade Elliott looked to have secured a more straightforward passage into round three.
But substitutes Steve Kabba and Ricky Holmes made sure the Bees would not be swatted away easily as they pushed Eddie Howe's men all the way, before McCann's first goal at Turf Moor since February, 2009 arrived in the nick of time.
As against Burton in the previous round, the Clarets took their time to get going on what turned out to be another long night.
Jay Rodriguez heads Burnley in front
And having failed to find an early goal, they must have been relieved not to have fallen behind before Rodriguez broke the deadlock.
The first 25 minutes had belonged almost exclusively to Burnley but they failed to take advantage of dominating possession as Charlie Austin headed wide from a Ross Wallace cross, Rodriguez saw a shot parried by Dean Brill and Ben Mee nodded a corner from the dangerous Keith Treacy past the post.
Wallace then missed the best chance of the lot as he dragged a shot wide after being sent clear by Rodriguez's sublime pass.
But if that was a wasted opportunity then Jason Price's miss moments later bordered on the criminal.
The veteran striker managed to mis-kick from inside the six-yard box with just Lee Grant, who did well to keep his eyeon the ball, to beat and must have been horrified to see the assistant referee keep his flag down when he looked to be standing yards offside.
However, that opening gave the underdogs an injection of confidence and with half an hour gone big defender Clovis Kamdjo powered a header wide from Mark Marshall's free-kick as they sensed the possibility of another upset.
Wade Elliott makes it 2-0 and celebrates
Marshall was proving a real handful and when he caused further problems in the Burnley box, Price got in a header which Grant grabbed on the line.
The Clarets countered with a Wallace effort which skidded just wide after the winger had been played in by Dean Marney.
And just when it looked as though they might be heading into the break goalless, Rodriguez pounced to further enhance his record in the competition.
Trippier provided the ammunition with a deflected cross from the right and while Rodriguez's header took a touch off Kamdjo, he was rightly able to add another goal to his Carling Cup collection with 39 minutes gone.
The Clarets were forced into a change of personnel when acting skipper Michael Duff picked up a knock to be replaced by David Edgar. And five minutes into the second half it was Edgar who almost got the second goal which might have been expected to have put the tie to bed.
However, the defender has never scored for the Clarets and he maintained that record when he poked a shot just wide after a Trippier free-kick had dropped invitingly into his path.
Chris McCann steers home the winner
Austin then went close to his fourth goal in as many games at Turf Moor this season with a fierce drive which flew just over the top but Barnet remained a threat on the break and could have been level with an hour gone.
Izale McLeod was beginning to make his presence felt and from his run and cross Sam Deering was presented with a chance which he directed inches too high when he looked a certain scorer.
Burnley needed the insurance of a further goal and when it finally came with 63 minutes gone it was a little gem.
Trippier's ball forward was cleverly helped into the path of Elliott by Austin's neat flick and Elliott - back in the side in place of the rested McCann - needed no second invitation to side-step the final defender and coolly beat Brill with a clam finish.
That should have been that, but Burnley's struggle to keep a clean sheet cost them again as Kabba pounced to make it 2-1 and launch the Bees' brave fightback.
The striker is just back from injury, but has forged a habit of scoring against the Clarets down the years and did it again when he arrived perfectly to steer in a low cross from Marshall.
Round three beckons
And after Rodriguez had failed to convert a Brian Easton cross at the other end, Kabba almost grabbed an equaliser with his low shot forcing Grant to plunge to his right to make a tidy save.
Having been taken to extra time by Burton, the Clarets didn't want a repeat but despite a late flurry of chances they couldn't find a third goal to make sure of an early finish.
Treacy, who was a real livewire all night, forced Brill to tip his low shot around the post and from the resulting corner substitute Zavon Hines saw his shot blocked on the line.
Hines then raced onto a Treacy pass but was defeated by the angle as Brill denied him his first Burnley goal and in the third minute of stoppage time lightning did strike for a second time as Barnet forced the extra half-hour.
Grant looked to have dashed their hopes with a fine save from Marshall's free-kick but Holmes reacted quickest to reach the rebound to ram home the most dramatic of equalisers.
Lee Grant makes a fine save, but the rebound forces extra time
Unlike the previous round Burnley could not respond with a rapid counter thrust but as the prospect of penalties began to loom they went back in front in the final minute of the first half.
McCann had replaced Treacy moments before the end of normal time and the captain was in the right place at the right time to benefit from a bout of pin-ball in the penalty area, following another Easton cross, to guide home his first goal of the season and finally see his side through.

Eastern Europe could become the next hotbed of shale gas exploration as oil and gas moguls, such as Chevron Corp., chase opportunities in countries that want to establish their energy independence from Russia and rebuild their economies.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates the combined gas reserves in Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary could equal more than 535-billion cubic metres of gas. This would be enough to restock Romania's consumption for almost 40 years, according to the agency, as Romania's average annual consumption totals about 14-billion cubic metres.
Despite these motivations, the use of the controversial shale gas extraction method – known as hydraulic fracturing or fracking – has already caused serious domestic opposition in Eastern Europe.
While countries such as France and the Netherlands continue to ban the practice, Romania lifted a moratorium on fracking earlier this year. Protests ensued. However, the country is moving ahead in its pursuit of energy independence and has since granted exploration permits to U.S.-based Chevron to explore the country's Black Sea region. In July, Chevron obtained permits to explore several sites in eastern Romania and this means the company has now acquired leases for more than four-million acres in Bulgaria, Poland and Romania for shale gas exploration and evaluation.
But it will be years of drilling and exploration before the full potential is realized, explains Sally Jones, Chevron's external communications adviser for Europe, Eurasia and the Middle East.
"We are at the early stages of our exploration activities in Central Europe. This phase of exploratory work will take anywhere between three to five years. Then we will have a clearer idea of whether hydrocarbons are actually present, their potential scale, and whether they can be developed commercially," Ms. Jones says. "It may then be 10-15 years before full commercialization."
Chevron's shale gas exploration will take place in two counties of Romania – Vaslui and Constanta – and there are plans to start drilling at the Vaslui deposits as early as the autumn. The company is currently trying to ease the population's worries over fracking even as photos emerge of Romanian protesters holding signs that read "Go home Chevron," and "We say no to shale."
Promises of substantial economic benefit are making it easier for politicians to brush aside the potential environmental risk and to get the shale gas market up and running. Most notably, Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta, who in the country's 2012 election criticized the previous ruling party for its support of LNG exploration, has since shifted his stand and now enthusiastically backs this move.
"The impact on the economy in terms of direct foreign investment can be significant if these projects actually go ahead," says Alexander Wilk, a research analyst at British-based Petrologica.
But how realistic are dreams that shale gas will be the economic saviour in the former Eastern Bloc? Not very, Mr. Wilk says.
"For a devastated country after the economic crisis, LNG will not be the golden solution, it will not be the easy way out."
So the fervour over shale may be a little premature, as Poland has proven to be a battle for some major oil and gas companies. Calgary-based Talisman Energy Inc. and U.S.-based Exxon Mobil Corp. packed up and left the country just a couple of months ago after lacklustre drilling results and more difficult-than-expected geology shattered their initial enthusiasm over Poland's shale reserves.
Chevron, on the other hand, is holding out to see what more exploration brings, explains Ms. Jones, as work continues at the four wells Chevron has already drilled throughout the country. "Central Europe is currently at the very early stages of exploration…[and] this resource could certainly enhance energy security within Europe and also bring enormous economic benefits," she says, adding that, while the shale gas revolution in this region may not reach levels currently seen in the United States, "we are still confident of the opportunities ahead."
The Polish government also remains optimistic and has so far issued more than 100 licences for shale exploration to companies such as Chevron, ConocoPhillips Co. and Poland's PGNiG – the state-controlled oil and natural gas company.
Skilled workers and the fracking technology also are not readily available in this part of the world, explains Bob Kubis, lead global fundamentals analyst at Encana, and this is a major expense for companies starting out.
"Unless you do have a significant play, where you do have quite high initial recoveries, it's still early stages so any marginal well might be abandoned due to economic reasons."
Mr. Kubis acknowledges that the push for energy independence from Moscow in countries such as Romania and Ukraine is powerful, but he says it won't happen quickly, if at all.
But it doesn't necessarily have to be an all-or-nothing situation, he adds. Simply offsetting some of the imports from Russia and setting up relationships with new markets may prove more beneficial.
"Even domestic markets, if they can displace Russian gas, then it will find a place in the market if it's lower-cost supply than Russian gas," Mr. Kubis explains.
"And, as well, if they can export, especially for Poland, if they can target the German market, which is a pretty substantial chunk of the European demand market, then you could see quite a bit of development if that can succeed."Report Typo/Error

In order to fully focus on the Olympic security work, the Qingdao government has decided to postpone its annual international beer festival until Sept. 19 to Oct. 5.
The 17-year-old festival that usually takes place in August has become a big attraction where local and foreign tourists alike enjoy copious amounts of beer, particularly the city's best-known brew Tsingtao Beer.
Xia Geng said the massive algae bloom that threatened the Olympic sailing venue last month had been cleared, which enabled all the teams to carry out their pre-Olympic training.
Starting in mid-June, the sea-blanketing algae bloom from the Yellow Sea coated Qingdao, covering 32 percent of the sailing venue at the peak of the outbreak. More than 1,400 boats and 10,000 troops and volunteers were dispatched to clear more than 1 million tons of algae.
Two barriers have been installed since then to keep algae from the sailing venues. Ships, helicopters and satellite technology will also be used to monitor the area.
'With all these measures, we will be able to prevent the algae bloom from disrupting sailing events during the Olympics and the following Paralympics,' Xia said.

Complement your home with this sophisticated crystal and brass semi-flushmount ceiling light.More Details >
A traditional ceiling light fixture design from Crystorama. This semi-flushmount features a cast brass construction with an Olde Brass finish. A 24 percent lead crystal bowl with scalloped edges and diamond cut bottom sits on the light.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
the lamp did not look as nice in real as it did in the picture. I was disappointed.
This small fixture was just right in a small hallway leading to a guest powder bath. It is tasteful without being ostentatious.
Two of these in a very large master closet work well. We chose Reveal bulbs so colors would appear crisp. Though it sheds a bluish light, in these fixtures, it still appears warm while providing ample light. The glass globes sparkle!
I live in a house built in 1957 that still had oldfashion ceiling lights. I've been upgrading them one by one. This has really added to the new modern look of my home.

Originally booked as there was free parking listed on their profile. After booking was told it was an extra 10zl per day. Bed was very uncomfortable; cheap thin foam mattress and small pillow. I had to actually change hostels for my second night so I could get some sleep. Little airflow within the dorm, as only tops of windows could open. No common area. There are much nicer hostels in Warsaw for similar prices in comparable locations that aren't housing a loud family in the next room!

For the last month I've been sleeping on one of those foam IKEA mattresses. You know, the spring-free pads that look so alluring when placed on the sleek, low-profile bed frames in the showroom. I'll let you in on a little secret, though: after about five minutes, IKEA mattresses suck. Their hard, unyielding foam and lumpy texture thwart even the most exhausted, medication-aided attempt at sleep. I think it is because they are made from the same recycled material as IKEA's $20 coffee tables.
But of course, crappy mattresses are not an IKEA phenomenon—they are a European institution.
Don't believe me? Try traveling around Europe for a few weeks. You'll spend sleepless nights sprawled across several different types of mattresses. The one thing they will all have in common is that none of them are remotely comfortable.
Here is a quick guide to the different types of mattresses found in Europe:
The IKEA-style mattress: When you see these mattresses in the store they look interesting. The coil-free design is reminiscent of those memory foam pillows they advertize on late-night TV. But after you spend a night on one of these mattresses, you'll immediately realize that the inspiration behind their design is not futuristic space foam but rather the hay-stuffed mats that peasants slept on.
The thin spring mattress: These mattresses really have nothing to recommend them. Their narrow and thin design does not even look comfortable for a second. What's more, the padding on the top is so thin that you can see the outline of every metal coil. I'm not sure who manufactured these horrible mattresses (perhaps they were Soviet surplus), but whoever it was managed to get them into every budget hotel and hostel in Europe. Be careful not to move to fast at night else you get a nasty scrape from one of the barley-covered springs.
The deceptively normal mattress: If you check into a more middle-of-the-road hotel or a Bed and Breakfast you might find yourself welcomed by a deceptively normal looking bed. Normal, that is, until you lay down on it and find that the springs are so shot that you're actually resting on the bed frame. These mattresses were normal once, but their owners haven't bothered to replace them since the Second World War. Apparently Europeans think of mattresses as some kind of family heirloom, to be handed down from generation to generation.
Next time you're traveling in Europe, splurge for the premium American-owned chain hotel. It is the best shot you'll have at a decent night's sleep. Otherwise just ask for a second or third blanket at check-in. You'll need them for extra padding. Oh, and don't forget to pack extra Aspirin to deal with the back pain.

Marley Finds a Mango and Things go Terribly Wrong
"NO MARLEY!" Gurgled The Almighty Queen Of Evil And Deputy Prime Minister Of Moral Dubiousness Jennifer Aniston as Marley her monstrous pet basilisk picked up a huge Umtokitoki Mango, which is grown specifically in the wilds of Ubermanjaro Mountain, "You know what happens when you eat Umtokitoki Mangos from the wilds of Ubermanjaro Mountain!!"
But she was too late. There was a sound like swirling water, and suddenly Marley inflated to twice his size, and, i mean, he's a big dude. Think four and a half buses stacked on top of each other and another four stacked lengthways, and you'd be three quarters to his actual size.
His eyes began to glow a violet/yellow/aubergine, and he bagan to rampage to the exit of The Almighty Queen Of Evil And Deputy Prime Minister Of Moral Dubiousness Jennifer Aniston's Deep Dark Cave.
At that very moment, something jumped from the darkness, but it was only Owen Wilson the half man/ half pig lackey. He was swallowed whole by Marley, who continued to thunder towards the cave entrance.
Then at that very moment, a small grey figure fell from the hole above.
"AARRRGGGH!" It yelled, as it hit the ground, mumbling something very similar to 'My Ballses!'.
It climbed to it's feet, and displayed a glowing Pear.
"Mistress! I broughted you the preciouses!"
Jennifer looked at him for a moment, almost forgetting about Marley... until, well, she remembered.
Then, at that moment, there was another yell, as Belle Duck fell through the hole in the roof, landing on Gollun. And at that very same moment, Herryomin, Hairy and Ran burst through the front hole, launching a fiery bolt of flames at Marley, who flew backwards, regurgitated the Mango and shrunk to his original size, slithering back into the slime below.
"What is this, Piccadily Circus!?" Screamed Jennifer Aniston.
"Hairy! You fool, this is the wrong cave, what about Zoidleberg!?" Yelled Herryomin.
"Sorry, you know i'm no good with Joo Powder!" He retorted.
Belle Duck regained her composure and pulled the Mango from Gollun.
"I'll be having this!" She proclaimed.
"You must be Belle Duck, I'm Herryomin Strangely, this is Ran Woozle and 'Hairy Potter-Bottom, the boy who didn't die but got a horribly disfiguring scar which looks nothing like a lightning bolt', our professor sent us to help you!"
Jennifer Aniston screamed again, raising her tentacle, summoning Marley from the slimy depths, and Owen Wilson's stupid trademark hairstyle.
"They'll be time for introductions later, Herryomin, right now we need to get out of here and get back to my friend!" Belle Duck.
Herryomin nodded, and cast a spell over Jennifer Aniston, which made flower petals fall from above.
"That should slow her down!" She said, heroically.
"No it shouldn't!" Yelled Belle, "It's a load of flower petals, why on Aslon's Earth would you think that would stop them for!?"
Herryomin reared up to retort, but stopped herself as Jennifer, Marley and Owen Wilson's stupid trademark hair lunged towards them.
They all jumped out of the way, and headed for the cave door, with Jennifer Aniston's forces close behind them.

Nobody can dish morning TV like Al Roker, who's seen every side of a business that looks good on camera - even when sharks are circling inside the gleaming glass Manhattan media headquarters. Treachery abounds in Roker's riotously thrilling debut novel - at once an ingenious murder mystery and a delicious behind-the-scenes look at network TV. As fact and fiction collide and the backbiting ignites, The Morning Show Murders will make you wonder: How much of this stuff is real?Network TV can be murder. Just ask Billy Blessing, famous for his smile, charm, and ability to survive the shark tank that is high-stakes morning TV. But though Billy has outlived his fair share of prima-donnas, his cooking segment on Wake Up America! is a staple of the American diet, and his Manhattan bistro is a mega-success, his career has just taken a very dangerous turn: his show's perky cohost, Gin McCauley, has launched into some brass-knuckles contract negotiations. A visiting Mossad agent is about to tell all on the air. And then the network's head honcho is murdered in his luxury apartment, and an ambitious D.A. decides that Billy is to blame.Forensics show that Gerry Gallagher was poisoned and that the fatal coq au vin came from Billy's restaurant. Gerry had an impressive list of women in his black book - and a news assignment in Afghanistan had plunged the TV exec into the heart of a violent international secret. Now unsavory characters are coming out of the woodwork, and another murder strikes the show's inner circle. Billy knows that someone's trying to frame him. He also knows that a ruthless international assassin has just arrived in New York City. And suddenly, for the most trusted guy on TV, the ultimate career move is not about ratings. It's about staying alive - and stopping the next murder from becoming tomorrow's breaking news.More

Thanks for asking me to respond. Spinal anesthesia is quite safe these days. More often they give epidural anesthesia which is also very safe. Back pain arising from this kind of anesthesia is a common myth among people.

Letters to the Editor, September 24, 2012
Hoping cool heads prevail in dispute
The local media is full of articles about who has rightful ownership of the rocks south of Japan [the Diaoyus/Senkakus].
Chinese nationalists are passionate in their claims regarding these rocks.
I wonder if Beijing sees this issue as its "Falkland Islands moment". If so, this is a major concern for the region.
When Argentina invaded the British territory of the Falklands, the country was ruled in Buenos Aires by a cruel and harsh dictatorship which used the attack as a pretext to boost its power at home.
The invasion failed and the junta was later toppled.
Does Beijing see itself as equivalent to Britain in the present crisis and wishes to reassert what it sees as its rightful control, feeling it could win a short naval conflict?
The question all parties in this dispute must ask is if such a conflict is worth the sacrifice.
In the Falklands war, the ARA General Belgrano was an Argentine Navy light cruiser which was sunk and 323 crew members died. Great Britain also lost many fine sailors, airmen, marines and soldiers.
Do we want to see bodies floating in the seas around these islands?
How many one-child families will lose their child? And how long will the Communist Party stay in power when it comes to light the children of the elite are safely out of the country?
The ball is in China's court, let's hope cool heads prevail.
Stephen Anderson, Macau
Well-timed U-turn was political coup
Alex Lo in his column ("Timing is everything in politics", September 10) said that Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying had picked the worst timing, on the eve of the Legco election, to climb down over the national education controversy.
I disagree. The reality is that with its dramatic 11th hour U-turn, the government set the stage for a grand finale for the demonstrators to claim victory and go home.
If the chief executive's objective was to end this demonstration, he did exactly that.
Looking at the election results, it was clearly a timely move as it successfully neutralised the pro-democracy movement's momentum.
The pro-establishment candidates actually gained more votes, and more Legislative Council seats.
If the hunger strike and demonstration in front of the government headquarters had not been halted in a timely fashion, they could have snowballed to become a long-drawn-out anti-government campaign, as we saw in 1989 in Tiananmen Square.
I do not think there is any doubt that C.Y. recognised that this was politically a dangerous demonstration.
Luckily, he made a bold move and he timed it correctly. He understands that timing is everything in politics.
Guy Lam, Central
Attract sales without the hassle
In connection with the problem of visitors from China causing congestion at the border crossings with their bulky trolleys carrying goods purchased in Hong Kong, I wonder if someone could find a way of getting these people to spend their money in the SAR without them physically coming here.
If this were possible, then Hong Kong could, as the saying goes, have its cake and eat it.
P.K. Lee, Tung Chung
Mooncake waste could be avoided
With all the commercials for mooncakes, you know that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.
Every year, companies come up with new flavours and put them on sale in attractive packaging.
However, Hongkongers waste millions of mooncakes every year and this aggravates the city's waste problem. A Green Power survey showed that Hong Kong families dumped more than 2,510,000 mooncakes after last year's festival.
Citizens may talk about the importance of environmental protection, but they do not practise what they preach during this event.
People should only buy the mooncakes they actually need - what they will consume during the festival - as the cakes are often thrown out after the festival has ended.
Surely anyone with surplus mooncakes could donate them to charities or elderly care centres rather than discarding them as waste.
The shortage of landfills that are already nearing capacity is a serious problem in Hong Kong.
All citizens must recognise that we all have a responsibility to work towards waste reduction and improve the state of affairs in our home town.
If more citizens can embrace environmental protection measures, the quality of life in the SAR will improve.
Stella Man Suet-ming, Ho Man Tin
Disabled are getting raw deal in SAR
Hong Kong has been accused of not doing enough to help the disabled, by a delegation to a meeting of the United Nations committee on the rights of the disabled.
I agree that it is time for the government to provide more help to the disabled in order to promote equal opportunities and avoid discrimination.
The delegation [representing disability concern groups] has accused the SAR government of failing to address limited educational and employment opportunities, along with accessibility issues, and it says the disabled community has been given unsatisfactory legal protection.
If the administration wants to implement improvements, it must be willing to introduce the necessary legislation.
Countries such as New Zealand and Britain did this after becoming signatories to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
I also agree with the delegation that schools should be asked to provide appropriate support to students with special needs so that the disabled can have more opportunities to study.
It is also important that the administration establishes an independent monitoring body to protect and promote the rights of people with disabilities.
Subsidies should be made available to ensure barrier-free access even to older buildings in the city.
There is no quick fix to the problems that exist. But I believe that they can be solved through implementation of the right policies and the promotion of equal opportunities.
Angela Ng, Tsuen Wan
Huge demand for quality education
Kelly Yang's column ("Baseless elitism", September 19) was a bit puzzling to say the least.
I am no huge fan of the English Schools Foundation's management, or of selling school places to the highest bidder. But I can see with my own eyes that some of the ESF's schools are crumbling. We are not talking about "nicer gyms".
With the government subsidy for ESF pupils running at a fraction of that for direct subsidy schools (due to a freeze on the subvention several years ago), and current ESF parents maxed out in terms of the fees they can afford to pay, how does Ms Yang recommend that the ESF raise the funds for building refurbishment? Bake sales?
As for selling debentures to raise funds for scholarships, I notice the Kelly Yang Project charges a minimum of HK$385 per hour for writing classes for six-year-olds. I did not notice any scholarship information on her website.
The issue of affordability of education is one for which the government must take responsibility.
There is obviously huge demand for good quality, affordable education.
But the government refuses to allow anyone to expand the supply.
Laurel West, Pok Fu Lam
Not surprised by ESF's debenture
I expect that anyone who has been to the relatively new, plush English Schools Foundation (ESF) offices was not surprised by the proposed charge of HK$500,000 to reserve a school place for their children ("HK$500,000 to reserve place in ESF schools", September 13). I certainly wasn't surprised.
What is surprising is that the ESF provides its management with such posh offices when the money should be spent on refurbishing the "ageing school buildings" cited by the ESF chairman ("ESF debenture scheme 'favours rich students'", September 14).
Al Clancy, Oakland, California, US
No action taken against illegal parking
On Wednesday morning, I counted 12 illegally-parked cars in Duddell Street, Central.
I also saw traffic wardens walk off without issuing a single ticket to the drivers.
Meanwhile, because of the congestion caused by illegal parking it took me 10 minutes in my car to reach the car park.
Why do we still have traffic wardens if they are not going to do their job?
Maybe it is just the civil service mentality of get through the day to pay day.

Lyonesse (Suldrun's Garden) (Lyonesse Vol. 1) (original 1983; edition 1983)
by Jack Vance
Work details
Lyonesse by Jack Vance (1983)
Best Fantasy Novels (127)
Faerie Mythology (63)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I think this fantasy trilogy may well be my favourite. It's one I still reread with pleasure, probably because it is so clearly written for adults, though when I first read it as a teenager the violent indignities inflicted on Christian missionaries and the fate of poor Suldrun scared me off after the cosy safety of Middle Earth and Narnia. Luckily I went back to it. The dangers and cruelties of the Elder Isles anticipate the modern hard-boiled fantasy epics of Martin, Abercombie et al, yet the language is that of high chivalry, arch wit and sharp irony. Even the most horrible monster is highly articulate and argues with logic and reason. For every danger and cruelty, however, there is wonder and kindness and joy. The books, also, are unashamedly drenched with magic and crowded with fey personages, possibly the best fictional representation of fairies I have ever read, wonderful creatures utterly without conscience.
The story is long and strange and always unexpected. Our protagonists suffer sudden changes or reversals of fortune at every turn, and it's only about halfway through before a narrative begins to take proper shape. Vance's evocation of a fantasy landscape is unparalleled. For the first time, I noticed that there was something missing from the detailed descriptions of meals and feasts and scavenged scraps and quick repasts: no potatoes. Because, of course, they haven't been brought back from the Americas yet. I don't know why, but that little detail made me unaccountably happy.
ORIGINALLY POSTED AT Fantasy Literature.
As I'm writing this, Jack Vance's under-appreciated Lyonesse trilogy has been off the shelves for years. My library doesn't even have a copy — it had to be interlibrary loaned for me. Why is that? Publishers have been printing a seemingly endless stream of vampire and werewolf novels these days — same plot, same characters, blah blah blah. If not that, it's grit. We all want grit. Or maybe it's that more women are reading fantasy these days and publishers think we want to read about bad-ass heroines who kill vampires. But, the publishers and authors are just giving us what we demand, I suppose. We all got sick of the sweeping medieval-style multi-volume epics that take forever to write, publish, and read. So now we get vampires and sassy chicks with tattoos and bare midriffs. When we've become glutted with those (it can't be long now), what's next?
I've got a suggestion: Publishers, why don't you reprint some of the best classic fantasy? Let's start with Jack Vance's Lyonesse. Here we have a beautiful and complex story full of fascinating characters (even those we only see for a couple of pages are engaging), unpredictable and shocking plot twists, and rambling and entertainingly disjointed adventure. No clichés. No vampires.
As a psychologist, I especially appreciated the many insights into human cognition and perceptual processing that I found in Suldrun's Garden. But what's best is Jack Vance's unique style. He's quirky, funny, and droll. He uses language not just to tell us an interesting story, but he actually entertains us with the way he uses language to tell the story. Similar to Ursula Le Guin, Neil Gaiman, Susanna Clarke, or Catherynne Valente, but in a different, completely unique style. I love authors who respect the English language and compose their prose with care and precision. Many of Jack Vance's sentences are purposely funny in their construction and I find myself laughing and delighted not at what was said, but at how it was said. Here's his description of Shimrod's excursion to another world:
He apprehended a landscape of vast extent dotted with isolated mountains of gray-yellow custard, each terminating in a ludicrous semi-human face. All faces turned toward himself, displaying outrage and censure. Some showed cataclysmic scowls and grimaces, others produced thunderous belches of disdain. The most intemperate extruded a pair of liver-colored tongues, dripping magma which tinkled in falling, like small bells; one or two spat jets of hissing green sound, which Shimrod avoided, so that they struck other mountains, to cause new disturbance.
And here is part of King Casmir's lecture to his daughter Suldrun when she announced that she's not ready to get married:
That is sentiment properly to be expected in a maiden chaste and innocent. I am not displeased. Still, such qualms must bend before affairs of state ... Your conduct toward Duke Carfilhiot must be amiable and gracious, yet neither fulsome not exaggerated. Do not press your company upon him; a man like Carfilhiot is stimulated by reserve and reluctance. Still, be neither coy not cold ... Modesty is all very well in moderation, even appealing. Still, when exercised to excess it becomes tiresome.
If you can find a used copy of Suldrun's Garden, the first of the Lyonesse trilogy, snatch it up. There are some available on Amazon and there's a kindle version, too. (Beware the Fantasy Masterworks version, which is known to have printing errors). Jack Vance is original; You won't get his books confused with anyone else's. This is beautiful work for those who love excellent fantasy literature!
Read this review in context at Fantasy Literature.
Props for its elegant prose, a certain wryness of expression, intelligent deployment of all the standard tropes of high fantasy, and many story threads cleverly tied together. However, I have to take points off for thin characterisation and excessive (if non-graphic) sexual violence.
A princess of one kingdom rescues a prince of the enemy kingdrom. They marry in secret and have a baby. This was the 2nd time I read it and I enjoyed it more the 2nd time.
das good

Video :: Wayne Rooney Is Pissed After ITV Asks Him About Leaving Man Utd
Written By: dunny|
Sep 18, 2013
~~ Imagine all the speculation that's followed Wayne Rooney throughout the summer on the potential move away from Manchester United…. Dude just hit Bayer Leverkusen for two goals in Champions League play and hits the 200 goal mark for Manchester United, yet he's asked in the post game interview by ITV about being asked to leave. Good for him for getting pissed and letting the interviewer Gabriel Clarke know.
ITV :: A lot of speculation, did you ever ask to leave?
Rooney :: Listen, I've just told you. I'm concentrating on my football like I've done all summer.

I am Air, I am Water
I think of myself like water - fluid, sometimes to the extreme. I was moved around and thrown into many strange new places while growing up. It has made me embrace change. I almost crave it.
It's all too easy for me to become stagnant. I need motion and movement and a healthy dose of discomfort. I worry if things come a little too naturally. I change my obsessions every few months and quickly move on to what I perceive as "big and better things." It's a flaw, to be sure.
Despite all of that, some things remain very important to me. My boyfriend is a total earth element. He is grounded and helps to ground me. He was born and raised in the same town, so we are polar opposites in that manner. But we are extremely similar at the same time. We met when I was 16, almost 4 years ago. We can't wait to get married and eventually start a family. My love for him is a huge part of who I am.
Outside of my ever-changing obsessions are certain things that remain constant. I am a university student studying Electrical Engineering. I hope to go on and get my PhD and become a professor. I absolutely love engineering and cannot imagine studying anything else.
I have also held on to 3 mail goals growing up. I want to work for NASA one day, since I have always been crazy about both aerospace and the universe. As soon as I have the money, I will get my pilot's license and learn to fly planes. I feel silly and useless on the ground and flight is something I have always felt robbed of - in that way, I am like air. Lastly, I want to publish a fantasy series for young adults. I'd like to influence people the way books have influenced me. That is probably my most important goal of all.
Socially, I have never been a butterfly. I'd prefer to have a couple of close friends over anything else. People go around my head sometimes and it causes me to feel dizzy and tired. It often makes my peers nervous when I sit in silence; they feel the need to make me talk. I love to sit and think, but others just find it awkward. I can't help it.
I spent a lot of my life feeling self-conscious and being afraid of who I am. In the last few years I have reached a place where I am very proud of myself, both physically and otherwise. I am not afraid of who I am anymore, but that doesn't mean I'm not well aware of my flaws. I like to embrace all of my manga-reading, Star Trek-quoting, Pokemon-playing, cat-loving ridiculousness. It either entices people or scares them off; I am OK with either.
Lastly, if you can't tell already, I talk too much. Maybe that's why I am hard-wired to stay silent most of the time. Once you get me talking, I never stop!
Anyway, it's nice to meet you all! I am excited to read more about my fellow protaggers.

What if your party includes children, people who just prefer to not drink alcohol, and designated drivers?
With holiday celebrations come festive drinks and cocktails, usually involving alcohol. Why not offer them something other than just soda or juice! Almost any juice will mix nicely with ginger ale or lemon-lime soda. Serve it in a nice glass with a garnish and all of a sudden it makes the ordinary festive! There are loads of mocktail recipes out there, too. Here are some simple festive drinks, especially favorite recipes for parties.
Shirley Temple
I remember as a child feeling very special when we would go out for dinner. On a special occasion, I was allowed to order a Shirley Temple! This classic drink is festive and fun for kids and adults alike!
- 3 oz. orange juice
- 6 oz. ginger ale
- 2/3 oz. grenadine (or for a less sweet taste, cranberry juice)
- Ice
- In a tall glass with ice, combine the ingredients and stir gently to mix.
- Garnish with a maraschino cherry or orange slice.
Roy Rogers
For the cola lover, this is the counterpart to the Shirley Temple.
- 6 oz. cola
- 2/3 oz. grenadine
- Ice
- In a tall glass with ice, combine the ingredients and stir gently to mix.
- Garnish with a maraschino cherry or orange slice.
Cranberry Punch
- 64 oz. cranberry juice or cranberry cocktail
- 1 can frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 32 oz. chilled sparkling water, ginger ale, or lemon-lime soda
- In a large punch bowl, mix the cranberry juice and the lemonade concentrate.
- Add the sparkling water or soda just before serving. Toss in some cranberries and orange slices to make it look more festive. If you use frozen cranberries, it will also help to keep the punch cold without using ice that will dilute the flavors.
Virgin Caesar
- 8 oz. Clamato
- 3 shakes Worcestershire sauce
- Hot sauce to taste
- Salt and pepper (optional)
- Rim a tall glass with celery salt (wet the rim of the glass with water or lime juice and dip the rim in a saucer with celery salt to coat the rim)
- Fill the glass with ice
- Add Worcestershire sauce into glass (about three shakes).
- Add hot sauce.
- Add Clamato juice.
- Top with salt and pepper
- Garnish with celery stalk, asparagus spear, or a pickled bean

text: Fluidized beds typically are more complex to design, build, and operate than other traditional reactors. Scale-up of fluidized beds continues to be challenge. Fluidized beds are prone to erosion and particle attrition. Solids (i.e., catalyst) losses can result in significant operating costs, especially when catalyst costs from $2 to $20 per pound. Bubbles also need to be managed, as large bubbles reduce the mass transfer between phases.With all of these challenges, why did fluidized bed processes become so popular in the last century? Fluidized beds offer three distinct advantages compared to other process technologies: superior heat transfer characteristics, the ability to easily move solids like a fluid, and the ability to process materials that have a wide particle size distribution.The benefits of using fluidized bed technology can easily outweigh the disadvantages, especially for processes requiring catalyst circulation or superior heat transfer. These benefits, however, only materialize with a good understanding of fluidization. Education and experience are the keys to reaping the benefits of fluidized beds.This article will give insight into typical fluidized bed design and equipment, as well as describe the behavior of particles in fluidized beds based on their size and shape.Tags: Fluidized bedsGas distributorsAir spargersCyclonesDate: November, 2014

Solange Knowles danced through the streets of New Orleans after her wedding.
The 28-year-old singer tied the knot with videographer Alan Ferguson on Sunday and after the ceremony and a sit-down dinner, the couple loaded their guests onto three party buses, which drove to Esplanade Street, where a live band played and the group danced for 10 blocks before making their way to the New Orleans Museum of Art for a second reception.
And Solange's sister, Beyonce, and her husband Jay Z seemed to be having a particularly good time.
The happy couple arrived at the Holy Trinity Church on white bicycles, but the 51-year-old groom had to walk part of the way because he got a flat tire, much to their amusement.
The source told Us Weekly magazine: "They were giggling about it and didn't seem bothered at all. Passers-by were congratulating them, and they were overjoyed."
A source said: "The weekend was exactly what Solange wanted, friends and family in her favourite town. It was all about the fashion, it was all about the look and the music, because that's important to her. Alan's a great man and has made her very happy."

Fashion DreamsMature
Their friendship started the very first day they met. Its human nature to be attracted to people with whom your mind might connect.. it will single out the person & you would get these vibes coming from the person that make you feel at ease.
Anyhow all it was an interview... not your job interviews.. they were too young for that. The interview that these institutes have these days of selecting the best students after having rounds of logical test, GD's etc..
They were in this row, this row of many intimidated frightened kids seeing their surroundings and the others around them.. waiting apprehensively for the next person to come out of the interviewers room so they could ask them how it was,..
See here I'll tell you what the institute was all about.. it was Fashion.. one of the top institutes of the North India.. Fashion Industry.. and there these 2 girls were there.. Aahna and Bhoomi. Aahna was from the same place where the Institute was.. and Bhoomi had recently shifted here.. For this purpose only.. 2 kids with big dreams in their eyes.. all rosy colored thoughst of the Fashion Industry.. the glamour.. good clothes.. and yes no studies.. Aahna was too protected in the same city.. had never been out and Bhoomi was from a small town.. with this deep fascination for glamour.
Shh… quiet.. the examiner there shouted " or u'll all be out, u move.. your interview is done" . Aahna looked around, she didn't knew a person out here.. no one at all.. this was the first time she had moved out of home.. she had come here with her brother but he had gone off to meet his frndz. All around her were people dressed up saucily n sexy.. fashion istas..She was very nervous.. and suddenly she saw this girl.. she seemed a gud soft spoken person.. she gave her a tentative smile.. and she smiled back.. she was standing after 2 people in the row.. she was dressed in a simple suit.. Aahna felt a li'll comfortable.. she herself was in a corduroy pants and a check buttoned down shirt.. one tomboy she was.. the only girl in the household of men ( her mother had died long ago ) she never dressed anything remotely feminine.
The line was moving fast now.. Aahna was trying hard to calm her fears.. Desperately trying to be be cool so as she doesn't loses her confidence.. all the previous month came rushing to her mind.. she hadn't studied after her 12th exams.. she had never felt so free in life when she didn't had to study. She wanted to get into arts that she knew.. she remembered what her dad told her.. " tumne zindagi me kabhi decide kiya hai k kya karma hai? (have u ever decided what you want to do in life) I'll go into commercial Arts or fashion designing and she had packed her bags and gone to her grandma's place. In her enjoyment she forgot the dates for the commercial arts entrance.. the date went off and then she just was in time for the NIIFT entrance. Somehow she managed to study when her dad was home.. when he wasn't she stick to watching Tv that was 7 days before the entrance.. The day the logical test was she had just gone off thinking it would be easy but when she saw the people around her she was shit scared. That the word. She thought she had no chance in this world of Fashionistas she was too naïve and too dumb to get into this place which selected only 35 students all over India.
"Hey… are you from Chandigarh" Aahna was jolted back into present. "eh???" " Are you from Chandigarh" it was the girl with the calm & genuine smile .. " Ya… And U?? "
Aahna replied
Im Basically from Sirsa and rite now in Chandigarh.
Hmnn so you have done something in Fashion??? Aahna thought its better to know what all do people knew here..
"Guys please.. Can you please do this chit chat later".. this was Mughda .. Mughda Iraani… Another Localite from Chandigarh.. She was in front of Aahna. Bhoomi gave her a smile
Yes Chandigarh is where they all belonged too now. The beautiful neat city of Chandigarh. Some were from Punchkula, some from Mohali, but yes Chandigarh was the hub..The most Beautiful city of Asia.. they say once you stay in Chandigarh you can never find that beautiful and organized a city.

A lot of NBA players will be making the rounds as the sports world turns its attention to the NBA Finals. It is always nice to be reminded of some of the players that did not make the Playoffs and remember that they do exist. That goes double for Kevin Love, who played in only 18 games this season and averaged 18.3 points and 14.0 rebounds per game. Whether it was a broken hand or nagging knee issues, Love just could not stay on the floor. And a bright season for the Timberwolves came crashing down. Ricky Rubio, Alexey Shved and Nikola Pekovic are good, but Love makes them really interesting. Love was on the ESPN campus talking about his preparation for the offseason and his relationship with new Timberwolves general manager Flip Saunders: {youtube}zBUEMfXBv4Q{/youtube} Love said he is happy in Minnesota and is excited to get going with guys like Rick Adelman and Flip Saunders in the fold for the near future in Minnesota. Love is excited to move forward. The Timberwolves finished 31-51. Love's Playoff guarantee did not exactly come through because of all the injuries in Minnesota. He renewed that guarantee if everyone on Minnesota can stay healthy. As to his upcoming free agency in 2015? Love said he has been told Minnesota will not trade him and he has no intention of leaving Minnesota if the team keeps building in the correct manner. Making good on that first career playoff berth in 2014 would be a good start. [follow]

WSR FR3.5 - Arden Motorsport driver announcement
BRDC Rising Stars driver, Will Buller (21), joins the Arden Motorsport team for the 2014 World Series by Renault Championship. Following impressive testing with the team at the end of 2013, the Northern Irish driver will complete his first full season, having had eight successful races in World Series by Renault 3.5 in 2013 where he scored 46points finishing 11th in the Championship. Will also contested the British F3 Championship during 2013, finishing 3^rd overall with one win and six podiums.
Julian Rouse
"Will was really competitive in FR3.5 at the end of the 2013 season obtaining some good consistent results even though he only came in half way through the campaign. He impressed us a lot with this and showed some great potential when he tested with us in the winter, particularly in Barcelona. With that experience and a strong team mate in Pierre to push him along we have no doubt he can go one step further in 2014 and challenge for race wins. We are all really looking forward to working with him."
Will Buller
"I am delighted to join the Arden Motorsport team. They have a great group of people onboard, after working with them over winter testing I believe we can work well together and fight for the title."

I was trying to get a rental agreement signed and he kept telling me the dates were displaying incorrectly under the "tags" used. I used the two above inserts and the dates kept coming out 2 days out. He eventually sent me a copy of what it was displaying and he was correct.
Did I do something wrong? It worked when I did it for another contract. I don't understand. What I did to rectify this problem was changed it to the actual dates he requested. Once the rental agreement is archived, I will go back and change them back to the field inserts again. Unless, you tell me something is wrong.
Isn't the booking arrival date supposed to take the arrival date?
