MY AUNTIE Netnet, the librarian who used to give us a lot of books during Christmas when we were little, visited my apartment this week and helped me arrange my books. I don't own shelves; installing them means I have to un-install them again when I transfer residences. That's not wise, given that in the city I'm a nomad. My books—both for business and pleasure—are stacked inside my drawers, cabinets, and in corners of my study. I asked that she classify my books using the Dewey Decimal System. Perhaps she would've indulged me if she had more time.

José Saramago's All the Names: chronicles of a bored stalker
NOTHING MUCH happens in All the Names, the novel by Portuguese Nobel laureate José Saramago, but after reading it I felt as though I'd been through a lot.
It is, in summary, a chronicle of the events in the life of Senhor José, a clerk who works at the Central Registry of Births, Marriages and Death. Bored with his clerical job, he stumbles upon the record of an unknown woman and decides to snoop around and discover everything about her.
Whether it is boredom or curiosity that launches his obsession with this woman we cannot explain, in the same way that we can't always come up with reasons for the things we do. Saramago has this to say about the absurdity of human action:
Strictly speaking, we do not make decisions, decisions make us. The proof can be found in the fact that, though life leads us to carry out the most diverse actions one after the other, we do not prelude each one with a period of reflection, evaluation and calculation, and only then declare ourselves able to decide if we will go out to lunch or buy a newspaper or look for the unknown woman.
Not everyone reads
I EXAMINED a 70-year old woman at the Eye Clinic today, and she taught me an important lesson: not everyone can read.
You see, the standard five-point eye exam begins with the test for visual acuity: the patient is asked to read a Snellen chart. The smaller the letter the patient can read, the higher the score.
I need Thee every hour
BEAUTIFUL rendition of the classic hymn, I Need Thee Every Hour (Annie S. Hawkes, 1872), by Sam Robson. We're missing out a lot by not listening to timeless, theologically-rich, well-written, and Scripture-saturated hymns; I'm glad people are coming up with new arrangements.
I'm posting the lyrics in full. May this be the prayer of our hearts today, for without Him, we are nothing.
We're halfway through Internship year
WE'RE HALFWAY through Internship. Over dinner last night, my blockmate Agnes Custodio and I talked about the first days of Internship year. She had just finished manning the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, while I was dying of boredom at the ward. I had nothing else to do until 7 PM when my shift would end. I already did chart rounds and carried out orders for the two newly admitted patients, so I had dinner at the nearby mall, and Agnes said she'd come along. That simple dinner was our inferior version of a Friday night-out. "Kawawa naman tayo," we comforted ourselves.
Alice Munro wins the Nobel, and intermittent updates on her short story collection, Dear Life
YOU MUST'VE heard the news: Alice Munro has won the Nobel Prize for Literature this year! I must've read some of her stories in The New Yorker, but I don't remember any of them anymore. Got myself a copy of Dear Life, her short story collection, the last book she said she will ever write. Will try to read through it tonight. I've been enjoying short story collections recently. Just this afternoon, I began reading Julian Barnes' The Lemon Table. Recently I finished James Salter's Dusk and Other Stories. It's a long weekend for me. Good night, world!
* * *
The second story, Amundsen, is breathtaking. Here Munro takes us to a sanatorium where a young teacher sets out to work. Her pupils: children with tuberculosis. So you realize it was at the time when streptomycin was still in the works, and surgery was the main treatment. She meets a doctor, ten years older than her. He sets the rules of the place—a dreary, gloomy, death-saturated institution—and, in a much significant way, he also dictates her life because she has allowed him to. She has wanted him to. Read the story in full at The New Yorker, where it first appeared, and wait for that final sentence that knocks you right in the head. Suddenly everything makes sense.
ORL (Otorhinolaryngology): October 2-15, 2013
Walk with God
Vignettes No. 1
3 AM. The nurse lays down the cannula and plain NSS bottle on the counter. I go to Bed 37 to establish an IV line. The patient is scheduled for surgery in a few hours. "Magandang umaga, Doc," she says, smiling at me. Beside her is a Nokia cellphone that plays what is unmistakably an Aiza Seguerra song.
"Ang ganda ng music mo, ah. Sabi ng ibang mga pasyente, kamukha ko raw ang singer niyan." Her eyes brighten up. The resemblance must be striking.
Graham Greene's The End of the Affair: what you can read after a painful breakup
I don't know about you, but I've never been heartbroken—not in that sense. But I've had the privilege of hearing personal stories from friends who, at some point, had taken the leap of faith, had begun what looked like a promising relationship that eventually fell into pieces. From what I've gathered, I have come to this conclusion: that a breakup is a painful, agonizing process, like an impacted tooth that demands all the attention and prevents other pleasures to be had.
James Salter's Dusk and Other Stories: the power of a sentence
JAMES SALTER knows the power of a well-constructed sentence—short, crisp, yet evocative. His armament lies in his understatements, which turn out to be explosions of feelings, or sudden twists in the tale. Reading him is an overwhelming, exhilarating experience. You fall into a trance. You're sucked right into his imagination, as in a black hole. Your mind bursts with cinematic pictures, and you emphathize with the characters because you know what they're going through. You see bits and pieces of yourself in them. If you dream of writing stories of your own, you probably wish you could write like Salter.
I started reading his collection, Dusk and Other Stories (1989), in between surgeries. Ordinarily a medical intern chooses to sleep in a corner, oblivious to the intermittent alarms of the cardiac monitor and the buzzing of the cautery devices. But I was captivated by the beauty of his prose and the elegance of his tales, and I finished the book in less than 24 hours.
Yoko Ogawa's The Housekeeper and The Professor: what to love about numbers
THE Housekeeper and the Professor is a novel by Japanese writer Yoko Ogawa whom I'd never heard of before. (Have you ever done that: take on a book written by someone you have no idea of? That was how I discovered David Bezmogis when I picked his short story collection, Natasha. When I read about him in The New Yorker I felt a certain sense of accomplishment, as if it was I who had discovered him first.) I only picked the book from the list because the title sounded neat. I like reading novels by Japanese authors—Murakami, Kawabata, and Ishiguro among them. There's a zen-like, uncluttered rhythm to their prose, perfect to ward off the stresses of urbanity.
Think Fifty First Dates, sans the romance.
William Boyd's Waiting For Sunrise: an actor is a spy
WAITING FOR SUNRISE is William Boyd's newest novel. The protagonist is 27-year old Lysander Reif, an actor, who goes to Vienna to consult with a certain Dr. Bensimon, a psychiatrist, protegé of Sigmund Freud. Dr. Bensimon prescribes a new mode of psychotherapy called Parallelism in which the patient imagines an alternative reality during hypnosis. Meanwhile Reif stumbles upon an intriguing lady named Hettie Bull, an Englishwoman living with a famous and rich artist, and he begins a passionate affair with her. He is cured of his ills, or so he tells Dr. Bensimon, but his encounter with Hettie brings about events that will change his life dramatically: he gets Hettie pregnant, he is arrested for rape, and he flees Austria under a disguise, never to come back again.
A cursed fridge and a generator that runs on uling
PRIDYIDER (2012) is about a cursed refrigerator that kills people. Whether it's death by suffocation or hypothermia, we don't really know. The film stars Andi Eigenmann playing the balikbayan Andi Benitez. She was brought to the US when she was younger to protect her from her crazy mother played by Janice de Belen. She had to go back to take care of the ancestral home. And that was when strange things started to happen—people disappearing, cats getting killed. The fridge is the average one-door type that most middle class Filipino families own. How did adult-sized people fit right in? As we were about to wallow in skepticism, we saw a scene depicting Janice de Belen inside one of the fridge's compartments. Think about this: Pinoy horror stories make the best comedies.
Books for the weekend
I'M CURRENTLY reading William Boyd's Waiting for Sunrise, but I should be able to finish it this evening. He's good. A Good Man in Africa is supposed to be a monumental work. We'll see about that.
John Barlow's Everything But The Squeal: Eating The Whole Hog In Northern Spain. Ahh, where's the crispy pata?
I TREATED myself to a trip down my favorite bookstore and got myself a book because the cover was interesting.

Contonment MLA P Shankar Rao's daughter Sushmita alleged that a sub-inspector has tried to kill her father on the hospital premises on Sunday night.
As per Sushmita's version, a sub-inspector entered the ICU at Care Hospital where Shankar Rao has been undergoing treatment at about 8pm. Hearing some noise, the MLA became alert when the cop was approaching him to harm him. Shankar Rao called out aloud to alert the hospital staff and the police fled from the spot immediately. Soon after this incident, MLA made a call to his daughter on the phone and she rushed to the hospital.
Sushmita is now planning to lodge a complaint with higher officials and confident that the CCTV Cameras installed in the hospital can identify the SI who tried to kill her father. She demanded adequate security to Shankar Rao citing life threat.
On the other hand, Police officials opined Shankar Rao and his daughter might have mistook the cop on duty for assailant. ACP Venkat Narsaiah clarified that the allegations are false and the SI has gone to ICU only to check on the MLA after taking the charge at 8pm.

Part 2 of an occasional series on entrepreneurial buzz words
In light of the election, I'm republishing this story from July on disruption and the Donald Trump campaign. It remains to be seen to what degree the president elect follows through on his many promises to remake the American economy.
Silicon Valley Lingo: Donald Trump Disrupts the Disrupters
July 25, 2016
By Douglas Messier
Managing Editor
Recently, 145 Silicon Valley tech executives wrote an open letter opposing the candidacy of Donald J. Trump for president. In the letter, they basically declared the billionaire to be a threat to America's very future.
We believe in an inclusive country that fosters opportunity, creativity and a level playing field. Donald Trump does not. He campaigns on anger, bigotry, fear of new ideas and new people, and a fundamental belief that America is weak and in decline. We have listened to Donald Trump over the past year and we have concluded: Trump would be a disaster for innovation. His vision stands against the open exchange of ideas, free movement of people, and productive engagement with the outside world that is critical to our economy—and that provide the foundation for innovation and growth.

Tournament Name: War in the Desert
Games System: Flames of War
Blurb: "War in the Desert" is a themed, team based FoW Mid War competition.
It is designed for experienced players who are looking for something a little different than the round-robin competitions.
The battles revolve around Operation Crusader and Gazala (aka "the Cauldron"), the siege of Tobruk, and El Alemein.
Day 1 and Day 2
1) Operations Crusader and Gazala, and siege of Tobruk
A strategic map will be used to determine when and where battles in the open desert take place.
The British forces will cap out at 1500pts to represent the philosophy of Brigade strength formations, the Germans 2000.
The actual force size for each encounter may very depending on the strategic situation.
Equipment is limited to that stage of the Desert War: Panzer III with short 50cm, 50cm ATG, Flak 88, and a handful of Pz III with long barrel 50cm and a few Panzer IV with short 75cm
The British have Crusader 2pdr (players can substitute 6pdr models for these), Valentine, Matilda, early Cruisers, very limited Grants, and 2pdr ATG (no 6pdr)
2) Siege of Tobruk
Long 2 day battle.
Players do it when waiting for a Crusader or Gazala encounter with their forces on the strategic map.
This means the commanders will rotate in and out of the siege but still working to the overall plan on both sides (troops will be supplied for this battle).
Day 3 El Alemein
Tables are reset at end of D2 to form one very large El Alemain table.
Objectives will be placed to match the main attack arrows on the map.
It is an amalgamation of the final German assault on Alam el Halfa and Monty's subsequent breakout battle to the north.
Forces now include some of the Mk IV "Specials", Shermans, Grants, Crusader III with 6pdr, and 6pdr ATGs.
All players take part in the four hour long El Alemain battle with 1750 points

Copenhagen, Oct. 10: India has expressed its displeasure to Denmark, which holds the current presidency of the European Union, on the manner in which its differences with the EU over Pakistan and Kashmir were brought to the fore by its Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
At the same time, Indian officials seemed to be engaged in a damage control exercise after the spat. It was suggested that since today was also election-day in Pakistan, perhaps the EU did not want to embarrass General Pervez Musharraf by criticising him.
Unable to negotiate a mutually acceptable formulation on Kashmir, Indian officialdom could only express surprise at Rasmussen going public with the differences over Kashmir. It was far from our thinking that such confusion would be created at the last minute, a senior Indian official said.
The Danish Prime Minister had said at the joint press conference with the Indian Prime Minister that Kashmir was not mentioned in the joint statement issued at the conclusion of the summit because we did not agree on a text.
The official felt that making the spat public was a failure on part of the EU. Rasmussens behaviour at the press conference was indeed surprising. His body language was aggressive and his choice of words blunt. Wisdom would have demanded that he not air the EUs differences with India publicly and in the abrupt manner that he did.
However, there is also a view that this is equally, if not more, a diplomatic failure on Indias part.
Considering that the drafting of the joint statement had been going on for nearly two to three weeks, a moderate formulation broadly consistent with the EUs earlier positions could have been found.
Instead, a senior Indian official tried to explain that the EUs reluctance to say anything publicly (on Pakistan, cross-border terrorism and Kashmir) was because of the elections taking place in Pakistan. He argued that this had nothing to do with lack of preparation but then the unexpected happens unexpectedly.
But had not the EU earlier condemned Pakistan for cross-border terrorism publicly' And yet, there was not even a mention of cross-border terrorism by the EU today. The official tried to rationalise the behaviour of the Danish Prime Minister and current President of the EU by saying: You know how strongly they (EU) feel about General Pervez Musharraf. They are a bit reticent when it comes to crticising General Musharraf. On the day of elections to Pakistans Parliament, if in a joint statement with India, the EU had said anything (critical) then it might have had political consequences for General Musharraf.
However, he also said: This is a mistaken perception from our point of view. Earlier, the EU had made public statements about Pakistans sponsorship of cross-border terrorism even when General Musharraf was under domestic public pressure, the official said. They have to be consistent about their position, he argued.
In the joint statement issued today, there is a whole paragraph on terrorism which talks of generalities, but Indian diplomacy could not get the EU to get to the specifics. The statement says: We emphasise that there can be no justification for terrorism, and those who perpetrate and sponsor it will be brought to justice.
But from Rasmussens statements it was clear that suddenly this did not apply to Pakistan.
The Indian official, however, criticised the lack of coherence in the EUs position and remarked: They decrease their own capacity to talk to us on any credible basis if the fail to be consistent in adhering to their principles.

Looks Like a Break Out
In a blog on Feb 10, 2010 I suggested the yield on the US Treasury's ten year note was building a cup and handle pattern pointing to higher yields to come. I also suggested that the right side of the cup pattern might take more time to unfold.
Both of those views have remained since then. Today, we got what looks like a decisive break out of a consolidation pattern, classic form. It's also possible; the consolidation is the handle part of the pattern. The RSI has plenty of room to support high yields. And, the MACD is turning up from just below the zero line, also a bullish sign.
Given today's move, we should expect a move higher testing the prior peak at 4% during the next couple weeks. From there we could get another consolidation pattern, or a break above resistance, which would be very bullish on rates, and all worth keeping an eye on in the near future. The pattern still looks bullish for rates.
Hope all is well.

Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are celebrating the birth of their daughter in Namibia, Africa
The long awaiting finally is paid off. The day has come when Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt welcomed their first daughter ever.
"The night of May 27, 2006 in Namibia, Africa, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt welcomed their daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt," spokeswoman Cindy Guagenti said in a statement while emphasizing, "No further information is being given".
In the meantime, Namibia's deputy environment and tourism minister, Leon Jooste, said the baby was born at 0140 local time (0040 GMT) on Sunday, while Samuel Nuuyoma, governor of the Erongo region, said the baby was born at the Welwitschia Clinic in Walvis Bay.
A doctor at the hospital told the Associated Press news agency: "She is a healthy baby."

and then I'm awake, the cigarette left unlit. My son is rubbing his eyes and crying, and I realize I've had yet another dream about smoking.
It's been a year and a half since I quit smoking, but my subconscious clings to the habit, creating fantastical scenarios in which I scheme to retrieve and light cigarettes. I always ignore the urgent inner and external voices telling me, "Don't do it. Think of your baby." Then, when I awake, I feel guilty for choosing to smoke... even though it was just a dream. ...
For three years, smoking was a huge part of my life. I smoked a cigarette as soon as I woke up and before going to sleep. I smoked while studying, typing and watching television. I smoked after every meal, snack and drink. I smoked to pass the time on walks to and from the train station, the supermarket, my workplace and even the gym. When I wasn't smoking, I felt jittery and could not stop thinking about smoking. Worse yet, I spent the very little money I had buying packs of cigarettes on a daily basis. (Yes, that's the power of addiction: although spending half my hourly wage on every cigarette pack was financially irresponsible, I felt compelled to keep doing so).
When I learned that I was pregnant with my son, I was struck with fear (and not just of telling my parents). I knew that I would have to quit smoking if I wanted a healthy baby who would not be too tiny and whose forming brain cells would not be impacted by nicotine. At the time time, though, quitting was scarier to me than labor. Stopping smoking was not just physically difficult. I felt as if I were losing a friend who was always there for me and never judged me. It was an emotionally MONUMENTAL task.
Throughout the first three weeks after I decided to quit, I kept failing: firstly, many friends still smoked around me (yes, yes, I know the dangers of secondhand); secondly, I yearned for cigarettes like one longs for a lover. So I looked to websites like NYC QUITS for guidance in making quitting easier. In order to reduce triggers, I asked friends not to smoke around me or in their cars before I got into them. For a while I stopped watching television because of the numerous anti-smoking commercials (such as this one featuring a mother, her child and a bleeding brain) that played during my favorite shows. Although these anti-smoking campaigns showed gross images of blackened lungs, amputated fingers and fat-filled arteries, they only made me want to smoke more. (Who in their right mind would create an anti-tobacco commercial that prominently exhibits - think advertises - the lighting of a cigarette?) I would have to close my eyes and take deep breaths, chew gum as a distraction and put a hand to my belly until the overwhelming desire to run downstairs and buy a loosie had passed.
As the days wore on, though, I felt less and less chemically imbalanced and recognized that my body felt significantly better. I was able to walk up hills and stairs without feeling so out of breath (now, I had only allergies and asthma to contend with); and my mind was not consumed with panicked thoughts about when I would get my next pull. Eventually, I could no longer tolerate smoke, even on the street. The smell emanating from the clothing of a-pack-or-more-a-day smoker sitting next to me on the bus made me want to hurl and filled me with shame when I thought about all the people I probably once made feel that way. Every time I accidentally inhaled secondhand smoke, I worried about the tiny lungs that were growing within me.
After my son was born, I realized just how inconsiderate some smokers are (I give credit to the few who take care to lift their cigarettes high above their heads while Equis and I pass). It frustrates me that my navigation of the city is often determined by who is holding their burning cigarette too close to the stroller while waiting for the light to change and which pedestrians' smoke clouds are heading towards Equis' face. I even avoid sitting on benches outside of buildings because a cigarette that someone threw from their balcony fell into Equis' stroller canopy last month, leaving a permanent burn mark there (Imagine if it had landed on my baby instead!) Worse yet, I have had to remove Equis from his swing and abandon certain parks because other adults insist on smoking around the children playing there. For this reason, I fully support NYC's recent smoking ban in parks and beaches in spite of others' arguments against it in the name of "individual liberties." As a mother and now a non-smoker, I firmly believe that both Equis and I deserve to breathe clean, fresh air (yes, that means I would like for us not to breathe other types of pollution too).
"My son saved my life," I recently told my neighbor after she shared concerns about her son ingesting third-hand smoke from her husband's clothing. She almost started crying because she had seen me stand in front of my building day after day smoking cigarette after cigarette and noticed the change. Equis' existence had gotten me to do what I had promised myself I would do for years. I recognize now, looking back on my life as a smoker, that I wasted my time, money and mental energy on a drug that only made me feel good superficially. Do not get me wrong; there are still times when I feel a strong urge to smoke. However, I now rely, not on nicotine, but on my son's smile, a good book and friends to lift my spirits. Ultimately, if it were not for my son, I would probably still be blackening my lungs today.

A Bright Spot In Oil and Gas
Oil and gas companies have seen better days. As a consequence, many investors are leaving the sector in search of safer harbors to park their cash. But if you needed one good reason to hold on to some of your oil and gas stocks, this week's chart has it...
Clearly exploration and production (E&P) companies are hurting. As my colleague Ryan covered last week, this is due largely to the severe drop in crude oil prices over the past year.
As prices drop, revenues shrink. Eventually, producers have to shut down wells to bring prices back to a tolerable level. This is the cycle we've seen. Thus, the cumulative total return over the past year, which includes dividends, is -30.2% for the industry.
It certainly mirrors the 40% decline in oil prices during the same period.
Meanwhile, in huge contrast, the refining and marketing industry has had a positive return of 27.5%. Here are a few specific examples...
Western Refining Inc (NYSE:WNR) is up 24%, year to date.
Shares of PBF Energy Inc (NYSE:PBF) have climbed 21.9%.
Alon USA Partners LP (NYSE:ALDW) has risen a remarkable 97%. (It's also worth noting that this company sports a juicy 16.4% dividend yield.)
Why the stark difference in performance? It's simple...
Oil refiners have lower costs than E&Ps, as they are buying crude oil at cheaper prices. But they still have control over what's called the "crack spread." This is the difference between the price of crude oil and the price at which refined products are sold. It means they can set prices in a way that keeps them profitable but also competitive.
So should energy investors dump E&Ps from their portfolio and only hold on to the refiners? Not exactly. As Energy and Infrastructure Strategist David Fessler noted in his latest article, "All the signs point to a continued drop in U.S. unconventional crude production. This can't help but lead to higher crude prices and, more importantly, higher share prices for those with the patience to wait."
That means long-term investors should be on the hunt for strong companies - E&Ps, refiners and master limited partnerships - that have been battered by volatility. With an oil price rebound in the pipeline (pun intended), these firms should reward shareholders handsomely.
Bottom line: Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. The oil and gas industry is doing well at present - despite what you see in the media. You'll want to get into the best stocks while they're still trading at a discount.

03-12 What a Girl
by Ernest Bywater
Tags: Drama, Extra Sensory Perception,
Desc: Action/Adventure Story: Gerry wants to build a boat, so he does - but only after inventing the materials to make it work. Before he can build what he wants he builds a luxury yacht to test out the design. However, the major test is when he's at sea during a Category 5 storm, and has to help rescue others caught out at sea.
When eleven years old Gerry wants to build a couple of yachts. One for practical reasons and a luxury cruiser for himself. He decides to build one hull able to do both tasks with different fit-outs. The luxury yacht will be first to prove the design. He knows what he wants and how it should look. The experts say it can't be done. He studies and qualifies as a maritime designer, maritime engineer, and chemist. Doing all the studies by distance education in nine months of hard studies. He sets about designing the yacht. They're right, the materials don't exist. So he sets about inventing new materials to do the job.
Using carbon filament and Kevlar as a start point he invents Nolar. Much stronger, lighter, and versatile than Kevlar; also cheaper to make. So strong and cheap it's soon used in a wide range of products as a steel substitute. Using Nolar reduces steel imports which improves the local economy and the balance of trade figures. Nolar reinforcing rods for building with cement, Nolar cases for appliances and cars. See-through Nolar windows for security installations. Within months the company created to market Nolar makes many millions. Sadly, Nolar isn't quite good enough for the yacht, so an improved version is needed and made. Nolar Two is only 2.5% dearer and used to build the yacht.
When twelve and a half years old he buys a failing boat yard in southern Berant and refits it to build with Nolar Two. It's a runaway success. The test hull is built as a shell to prove the concept and its abilities, and then versions fitted out for commercial fishing are built. They're cheaper and safer than traditional boats. With the design proven the yard builds luxury yachts for the world as well as patrol boats and rescue boats for the Guards. Dream Boats is a huge success.
Dream Boats is located in a region where the local economy has collapsed. Reactivating the yard provides employment for hundreds and is the key to revitalising the region. They overcharge heavily on the luxury fit-outs for the yachts, spreading most of the extra fit-out money among the local workers via higher wages and bonuses. They're soon employing over four hundred people and producing fifteen boats a week for various markets. The sales of Nolar are just as good.
This series are trimaran hulls made of Nolar Two, later there are Nolar Three variants. Both use twin water jet engines mounted in the rear of the main hull. The engine size varies with the intended use and maximum speed wanted for the vessel, four engine sizes are offered for use. Overall length is twenty-six metres and overall width is nineteen metres. The main hull is six metres wide with side hulls of three and a half metres wide by fifteen and a half metres long. Inter-hull gaps are three metres. The rear wall of all three hulls are in a line. There are no rails on the deck, but there are bulwarks angled back at thirty degrees to a height of one and a quarter metres off the deck with drain holes in them at deck level. The bridge is over the third quarter of the main hull, about sixteen and a half metres back from the bow. It's seven and a half metres deep and six metres wide. The inside deck height is two and a half metres, except the main cabin which is three metres. The main hull draws two metres of water and the side hulls draw one metre. The almost flat front deck stretches over the three hulls for ten and a half metres before sloping up to the bridge roof at an angle of thirty degrees. A curved deck wall angles around the sides for seven metres, also sloping to the bridge to give the ship a streamlined look (like a flying saucer from the front) that also sheds excess water with ease. The engine room is in the rear of the main hull and the rear deck is only one metre above sea level here. Exterior hatches open outward and have water tight double seals when locked shut.
Nolar Two is a composite material made up in layers. It's naturally transparent and paint is easy to add between layers for a non-fading colour. Windows are made by not painting areas during construction. This gives a great hull integrity with any sized windows. Carbon filament is added for increased strength in any desired quantity. Cables can be laid between layers and incorporated in the hull, giving them more protection. Nolar Two for hull, deck and all fittings.
By law Gerry, as the owner, has to take 20% of the profits out of the business for himself and other uses by him. The day he steps aboard the finished yacht for the first time the 20% profits from his businesses is over a million dollars a month, despite large donations to charities and paying staff wages well above those required by the legislation and / or union agreements for their jobs. Even the 40% spent on expansion can only go so far, because no business can expand indefinitely.
It's been a hard road to build Gerry's dream boat, even if the original wasn't the exact boat he dreamed of. Instead of building the boat he dreamed of he built its hull as a luxury yacht. Three years to design and build the first fully fitted out boat, now to prove it performs as he expects. Why build a luxury yacht when that isn't what he wants. Well, he needs to prove the hull design is safe in a category five storm. If he'd made an error and it sank, then a new style luxury yacht will get a lot less adverse publicity than a more commercial version.
She's painted aqua-marine. The side hulls have four cabins with a head (maritime talk for toilet) and a shower in each cabin. The main hull has the Master's cabin, six other cabins, two showers, a galley, four heads, a lounge area, and engine room. All cabins are seven and a half square metres or bigger. The Master's cabin is thirty-six square metres at the front of the main hull with an attached en suite. Some space is lost to the bow angles and slopes, but it has spectacular views out the large forward windows. The views are exceptional when under way at speed.
The first boat built is called Dream Girl and is his personal yacht. He first goes on-board her on his fourteenth birthday, she's a trimaran hull powered by two of the larger model water jets. She's the most luxurious yacht in Berant waters, as befits his status as the country's richest individual, and moors at the View Port Marina. Many luxury yachts from around the world moor there while the owners visit the resort town of Carmel and the country.
Dream Girl is great for parties at sea or in harbour. Gerry goes out to sea as often as he can. Many clan members borrow her for special occasions. He loans her to the View Port orphanage and local schools for days out. She's also available to employees for company outings. Dream Girl is written up in the yachting magazines as the best luxury yacht of its size. Dream Boats sell many variants with custom fit-outs to owner specifications at huge profits.
She has a double crew of ex guards from the Claymore and Orcas. Gerry provides nearby on-shore housing as well as on-board quarters and they switch between as needed. In fitting out Dream Girl he puts in the Guards communications and encryption systems, computers, all the radar and other detection gear he possibly can. With enough fire-power on-board to arm a company. Also, all the sea rescue gear available. It's a mobile maritime headquarters for him.
In the first few months of use they weather many storms at sea, including a category three cyclone. No problems and a delight to sail in. The hull and deck design allows waves to quickly wash off them. She's very stable in the roughest weather they've been in so far.
An Interesting Voyage
In September, 2006 Gerry sails for a three week cruise on Dream Girl with his personal support team of Isobelle, Vicky, Deanna Chektar, and Captain Theresa 'Angie' Angelson (his personal medic since he was five years old). It's a relaxing time at sea. In theory it's a study cruise to prepare for coming exams. They do study - the sea, the weather, the sun, island beaches, and some text books at night. They spend the first week unwinding, the second week is mostly study for exams. Towards the end of that week they're closely studying the weather; it's changing and looks bad. A cyclone has blown up and may head their way.
Early Friday morning Captain David Harding, Dream Girl's skipper, calls Gerry to look at the latest weather reports. The cyclone is now a category five and turned one hundred and fifty degrees to be heading towards them at high speed for a cyclone. If it stays on its current track it'll travel the length of the Berant coast between them and the coast, since they're well out to sea. However, the Sea Watch Radar repeater shows many small vessels that haven't a hope of getting to a safe harbour, not before the cyclone arrives. They'd not headed for harbour before because all the earlier reports showed the cyclone heading away. The Sky Hooks, Otters, and Orcas are out getting those they can, but there's still several they won't be able to reach in time because they're just too far from the coast.
Turning to David he raises an eyebrow. David ponders a moment, and nods, saying, "She'll take it. Anyway, we won't know for sure how she'll handle this type of weather until she does."
Lifting a radio microphone Gerry switches to the Sea Watch frequency and he activates the mic, saying, "Sea Comm, urgent, Sea Comm, urgent, this is Dream Girl." He waits for the reply from Sea Comm, the Sea Watch Communications Centre.
They respond, "Dream Girl, this is Sea Comm, go ahead."
"Sea Comm, Dream Girl, order those seven easterly craft to head south-east, we'll head west and collect the people. Can't do a thing for their boats, but we can get them off safely. Over."

Selected and translated by the distinguished scholar Denys Johnson-Daivies, these stories have all the celebrated and distinctive characters and qualities found in Mahfouz's novels: The denizens of the dark, narrow alleyways of Cairo, who struggle to survive the poverty; melancholy ruminations on death; experiments with the supernatural; and witty excursions into Cairene middle-class life.
About the Author

It already sounds like a political campaign, doesn't it? "Rachel in 2010" is a sure-fire winner. Whether it's Chris Matthews firing a Hardball, or Sean Hannity welling up with patriotic pride, few could argue that a racing campaign in 2010 for superstar filly Rachel Alexandra is a wonderful thing.
If it ever happens.
On the same day that Rachel Alexandra wowed us all in the Woodward -- and, folks, that's about as wowed from a single horserace as I've been -- the sporting world delivered a stark reminder about thinking too far ahead, while also dominating the headlines over the star filly's performance.
When Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford laid writhing on the turf in serious pain during No. 3-ranked Oklahoma's season-opening loss to Brigham Young, the instant reaction from the masses was the same: "Oh, my, he would have been the No. 1 pick in last year's NFL draft had he left school, and now look at him. Is his football future in jeopardy?"
Talents the level of Rachel Alexandra and Bradford are precious. Few can do what they do as elite athletes. And opportunity should be embraced with even more precious urgency. It's an incredible position to be in, rising to the top of any competitive venture. How many can make the most of the chance more than once? The window of greatness can close all too quickly.
The connections of Rachel Alexandra have been ambitious with her since purchasing the 3-year-old just days after her scintillating win in May's Kentucky Oaks. For that, they deserve mounds of praise and appreciation. But to already begin outlining a plan for a race to be held Nov. 5, 2010 appears to be fool's gold to those of us who follow horse racing. For those counting, that's a 426-day plan between her stirring Woodward win and the opening of the two-day Breeders' Cup World Championships next fall at Churchill Downs.
The Breeders' Cup must sit atop the totem pole for Rachel Alexandra's 2010 campaign if she's to continue making historic waves, and luring crowds. Her owners certainly don't appear in it for mere exhibitions, so one would have to think the 2010 schedule would be loaded with more ambitious spots: Maybe a few races against the gals, and a few against the boys. But which races out there would really do anything to increase her legacy and bolster her popularity, which most agree peaks at age 3 in the public eye?
Given the clear-cut declaration that Rachel Alexandra will not run over an all-weather track again (she won over Keeneland's Polytrack for her previous owners), it's very interesting when you try to map out what her 2010 schedule might include.
Legacy-boosting Grade 1 races on the west coast like the Santa Anita Handicap, Hollywood Gold Cup and Pacific Classic would be ruled out because of the all-weather surface issue. So, too, would the $10 million Dubai World Cup, the world's richest horserace now to be run on the Tapeta surface. Also strike out the preeminent filly and mare race in the country not named the Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic, Keeneland's Grade 1 Spinster, because of surface.
If given four or five months away from racing, as has been publicly noted in recent days, that means Rachel Alexandra would begin serious training around February, and perhaps be race-ready in late March or early April. That could mean something like the Grade 2 Rampart at Gulfstream in late March, or more likely Oaklawn's Grade 1 Apple Blossom in early April as a season kick-off. Oaklawn still packs the fans in droves, which certainly has appeal to the building of Rachel's legacy. You could also see her pointed to the Grade 2 Louisville Distaff at Churchill Downs, which anchors the Kentucky Oaks undercard and would guarantee the most eyeballs in attendance, perhaps as many as 125,000.
But there are few other hurdles of intrigue on the calendar for Rachel. Perhaps a July date in the Grade 2 Delaware Handicap would be in the works, a race worth $1 million and at 1-1/4 miles, which could answer that "classic distance" question. But a return to Saratoga or Belmont would offer no real extra sauce. She's already won the Woodward against the boys in New York. Anything else would be anticlimactic after what we saw last week. The only summer date against the gals that could get fans' blood really pumping would be a turf attempt in the Grade 1 Beverly D at Arlington in August, or even a run at the same-day Arlington Million against the boys.
And speaking of the boys, if Rachel were to run against them in 2010, what spots might make the most sense and have the biggest historical impact? The Grade 2 New Orleans Handicap seems a potential starting-off point in March since we know she loves the Fair Grounds main track. But the track rarely lures more than 10,000 and can't hold many more no matter who's racing, so the idea of bringing her to the masses would not jive. April's Grade 2 Oaklawn Handicap makes no sense given the Apple Blossom's similar date and higher Grade 1 status.
Unless the Pimlico Special is reinstated for 2010, it's hard to envision any date with the boys before June 2010. Churchill Downs' Stephen Foster, a race won by her predecessor Curlin, certainly would make the most sense as her first seasonal date with the guys. Other than that, there's really only another Woodward date at Saratoga and an October renewal of the Jockey Club Gold Cup that remains in play before the 2010 Breeders' Cup.
Looking at the calendar and surface issues, the absolute best the 2010 campaign could look would be: April's Apple Blossom, June's Stephen Foster, August's Beverly D., October's Jockey Club Gold Cup and November's Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic or Classic. That's a five-race scenario of maximum intrigue and accomplishment.
In terms of legacy, however, Rachel Alexandra's existing wins in the Preakness, Haskell and Woodward already trump anything she could add in the 2010 Apple Blossom or Stephen Foster. The real historical hurdles would be the potential turf date at Arlington, the 1-1/4 miles of the Jockey Club Gold Cup and an appearance at the Breeders' Cup.
But, you know what? That could be accomplished in the next two months.
What if Rachel Alexandra remained in training and ran next in the Jockey Club Gold Cup, then finished up her 2009 season in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf? It's not far-fetched in the least bit. No one of consequence will be in the Gold Cup field that she already has not dispatched, and the Filly & Mare Turf would put her in the best pubic spotlight while avoiding the all-weather surface. Even the great Secretariat ended his 1973 campaign for all-times with a score on the grass, and he did it in world-record style.
Credible trainers sweat every day, worried about the health and soundness of all their racehorses, much less a filly who just might be the best American racehorse since Secretariat. If the ultimate race for Rachel Alexandra's future is at the 2010 Breeders' Cup, and there's nothing on the schedule that you can fathom for her still to accomplish when looking at it critically, then trainer Steve Asmussen had better load up on Pepto Bismol.
For the highest highs that a horse like Rachel Alexandra brings, she also will be putting the trainer on a 426-night schedule of uneasy sleep, upset stomach and crossed fingers that she welcomes him at the barn with a happy and healthy smile each morning.
If the Breeders' Cup truly is Rachel Alexandra's last frontier of accomplishment, both history and a gastrointestinal specialist would agree that she's better off taking her chances with a run this November than next.

i am a good looking male who gets looks wherever I go by almost any women but my problem is more with myself. I have Aspergers and add so I can never make eye contact for more than a few seconds. is this a deal breaker for ladies? girls how important is eye contact? it gets worse, I just come off like a not so normal person. My conversations stray off topic all the time and people usually laugh at me because they find my personality and things I said to be ''funny''. They aren't laughing WITH me they are laughing AT me. my friends are my friends because I make them laugh but im not trying to this is just who I am and I get very offended at them laughing because they are laughing at my syndromes im not trying to be funny!! there is this one friend who always wears a beanie and I just want to smack him so hard it falls off his head because he laughs when I tell him to stop but Im a good person so I control myself on a more personal level women have flirted with me almost any time they chat with me but For some reason I just cannot take it further and I avoid them after that conversation. I am now out of highschool and I feel like my chances of reproduction is over. I also feel like my parents failed me. They let this happen. do you think I need medication? or counseling? These steps should have been taken while I was a kid. if I take medication would that even be more of a deal breaker? It would kind of be like running away from myself and anybody who is with me will like me when Im medicated and not me.
Will I ever get a girlfriend?
although If I do take meds I would probably appear more normal, I am just scared of what would happen to me if I turn to these meds.
well actually it isn't ''medicine'' because it isn't curing anything, it is just hiding my problems and putting up a facade. Oh and I am also extremely intelligent do the ladies like brainy guys?

Oh my goodness there's a thread for this! I'm super excited because I just finally got into the anime, and it is so amazing. I was already hooked by the first scene.

Definitely one of the better anime series in a looooong time. If a little thing called Death Parade wasn't a thing, I would have considered OPM to be hands down the best anime of 2015. Sadly, we will likely have to wait some time for the next season. I know that ONE's original manga is already done with the following arc, but I don't know if they want the anime to be too far ahead of Murata's version.

Are you attracted to funny, charming, cool, kind guys OR girls? What type are you attracted too from personality to face and body features.
P. S.- Up top is just an example, you don't have to answer to it. Thanks for commenting!!!👍👍😁😁
Most Helpful Guy
Ir completely depends on the person and what they are attracted to, but I'll try to make some generalisations for teenagers:
I guess it's about standing out, so appearance wise looking different from everyone else, hair, face and figure
Zooming in, you want to get noticed, so being a pleasure to be around, socially popular and having ur name come up a lot in convorsation
Pictures on social media streams will help that, as well as going out a lot with friends and meeting new people
Physically, for girls, probably having medium to long hair, looked after well too
Having a nice body, being of average-ish height, too fall and shorter boys are intimidated, and too small some guys just don't like it
It really does COMPLETELY depend on the person, just be a pleasure to be around
Hope this helps! :)00|00|0

About Ginger Fox
I would love to tell you the adventure-filled story of how Ginger Fox came to be. Unfortunately and adventure-filled story does not exist unless your definition of adventure involves going to the dollar store for weird toys and backgrounds, so you're going to have to settle for the truth.
I've always enjoyed taking photos and playing with cameras, but it wasn't until 2011 that I got my hands on my first DSLR. I taught myself some manual basics and sought out pretty landscapes, beaches, and trees to see what I could create. Eventually I put some of my favorite photos on Etsy to see if there was any interest.
I also started selling vintage collectibles, which inspired me to try my hand at still life photography. This was all a great excuse to go shopping for props, and it's the reason I have a bin full of toys, candy, straws, lights, stale coffee beans, and scrabble tiles in my bedroom.
Right now I'm really into making snarky Scrabble tile photos. I came up with the idea after a friend jokingly said he'd love to replace people's "live laugh love" signs in their home with "die cry hate". We're mean. I decided to run with the idea and make some snarky Scrabble art.
I don't really consider myself a photographer because I'm still pretty certain I have no idea what I'm doing. I just have a lot of weird ideas that I occasionally succeed at executing. I hope you enjoy them!

Garlic Aioli
Recipe by Dawnab
An adopted recipe, Original Intro States: This Garlic Mayonnaise is typical of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands in Spain. It is usually served with bread as an appetizer. It can also be used to accompany grilled fish and meats.
Top Review by Miraklegirl
This is the first time I have tried making aioli. It was really easy and turned out to be a nice accompaniment to the cold poached salmon I made for lunch. I would caution people to heed Meanie's warning about using a fruity olive oil. I used a (non fruity) extra virgin olive oil and found that the flavour of it was really competing with the other ingredients. Next time I will be much more careful about the oil I select. As with all Mean Chef recipe's, the amounts and instructions are bang on. Thanks!
See Discussion:13 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 1 1⁄2 cups fruity olive oil
- 1 -1 1⁄2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, to taste
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground white pepper
Directions See How It's Made
- In a blender or a food processor, puree garlic with egg.
- Mix oil with lemon juice in a pouring jar.
- With motor running, add oil mixture slowly in a thin stream.
- Add salt and pepper and whirl an additional 10 seconds.
- Taste for seasoning.
- Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
- If the mixture separates or does not thicken, correct it as follows: Pour all but 1 tablespoon of separated mayonnaise into another container.
- Add 1 tablespoon water to remaining tablespoon of mayonnaise in food processor.
- With motor running, add separated mayonnaise slowly; mixture should regain right consistency- if not, try again.
- It is best to prepare this the day before, to allow flavors to mingle and mellow out.

Errata available: web.archive.org https://web.archive.org/web/20141012080511/http://www.stefaniejapel.com/blog/errata/fitted-knits-errata/
An interesting texture turns this simple shape into a sophisticated top. It's simply constructed of two identical rectangles, with the front rectangle split at the neckline. Fasten the top button, and the neckline mirrors the shape of the drop-stitch lace motifs. Knit from Cascade Pima Tencel, this tank provides comfort and stretch.
This top is very stretchy. Choose a size at least 6" (15cm) smaller than your actual bust measurement.

'Docs said tumour would kill our girl...but she's walking and talking again'
Little Searlait Tywang has plenty to be proud of as she plays with little sister Emily in their home.
For the four-year-old spent the last year courageously battling back from an almost fatal brain tumour and side effects that left her learning to walk and talk again.
This extraordinary little girl's survival is regarded as "a miracle" by her family. And now they're determined to raise funding for the Dublin hospital that saved Searlait's life.
Last year the courageous little Kilkenny girl fought with all her might to recover from PNET, a cancerous brain tumour that left her fighting for her life.
And her parents say it was only because of the expertise and dedication of staff at Temple Street that tragedy was averted.
Parents Mairead and Paul first noticed little changes in their daughter during Christmas 2013, when she was three years old.
"She'd always been a really mannerly girl, but she started talking back and arguing. I thought we'd missed the terrible twos and were getting the terrible threes instead," said Mairead.
Her parents had Searlait assessed by her GP, who agreed and sent the toddler to hospital.
In the following days, her condition rapidly deteriorated. "She started sleeping for 16 hours a day," said Mairead.
"We were really concerned and desperate to know what was wrong, but had no answers. She lost her appetite and when she stopped even speaking we brought her back to the hospital."
When the results of a scan came through, doctors immediately rushed her to Temple Street. It was the beginning of a nightmare period for the family.
"We were told the scan had shown a mass on her brain, but even then we didn't realise how sick our girl really was. On Wednesday, March 26, things got really scary," said Mairead.
The plan that day was to remove as much as possible of the tumour through surgery, but as she was being prepared doctors realised she was 'coning' – a potentially fatal occurrence caused by severe pressure and swelling of the brain.
"Doctors and nurses were all around her – it was like something from a TV drama," remembers Mairead.
"Her brain was starting to close down. They were trying to save her, but we were told to prepare ourselves for the worst. They said there wasn't even time to say goodbye. One of the doctors later told us it was one of the closest calls they had seen in Temple Street for a long time."
Miraculously, Searlait survived this dramatic scare, but there were more difficulties ahead for the family from Skehanna, Castlecomer.
She had four hours of surgery that day and seven hours the next as doctors did everything they could to 'debulk' the cancerous tumour.
Following a spell in intensive care, Searlait was sent back to the ward on Sunday – which Mairead remembers was Mother's Day.
"She started to do so well. Within four or five days she was starting to put sentences together.
"While she hadn't suffered a stroke, the effects on her were similar and were connected to her tumour. She had no movement on her right side. She had to learn to walk, speak and even sit up again."
Not only was Searlait largely unfazed by this and the gruelling months of chemotherapy that followed – her mum also said her fighting spirit shone through.
"She's stubborn, and it helped her," smiled Mairead. "One day, one of the nurses said she wouldn't yet be able to sit up by herself. I'll never forget how she dug her elbow into the bed, sat up, looked at the nurse and said: 'I can.' Nothing kept her down.
"Paul was an amazing support to us all. Without the support of my family and Paul's we would never have got through – our mums Peggy and Nora were especially brilliant."
Now Mairead and her sister Michelle – like hundreds of other women – are training to run this year's mini-marathon in aid of Temple Street.
"We wanted to do something, because they gave us back our little girl. They gave us back our life," said Mairead.
Each year, hundreds of women from across the country put on the purple Temple Street t-shirt and take part in the VHI Women's Mini Marathon.
This year Temple Street is hoping to recruit 1,500 women to join their team to help with their fundraising drive to rebuild the hospital's Renal and Neurology Outpatients Unit.

Gun and ammo found just yards from 'Cocaine Cowboy's' Crumlin home
Gardai have seized a gun and ammunition just 25-yards from 'Cocaine Cowboy' Liam Byrne's Dublin home.
The weapon and ammo was uncovered a stone's throw from the thug's Raleigh Square fortress home on Wednesday.
35-year-old Byrne, whose brother David was gunned down in the Regency Hotel attack, is a top lieutenant in the Kinahan cartel.
He is well known to gardai and was once convicted for bashing a man's skull in with a baseball bat.
Last month he was arrested as part of a CAB investigation which led to the seizure of cash, jewellery and vehicles.
Byrne is on the Hutch gang's hitlist after he vowed bloody revenge for the murder of his brother in February.
