They proudly head to the bank to wire the money, only to lose it to bank robbers. When the bank states that it reimburse the money, the trio seeks a bank robber Jun-seok (Im Chang-jeong) to master banditry. Will the grandmas, geared up with a real pistol and floral print masks, be able to make it to Hawaii?

Etgar Keret Presents Raymond Carver Lecture Oct. 9
Etgar Keret, the popular Israeli writer and filmmaker, will present this semester's second Raymond Carver Reading Series at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 9, in Gifford Auditorium. A question-and-answer session will precede the reading from 3:45-4:30 p.m.
The event is free and open to the public. Parking is available in SU's paid lots.
Keret was shortlisted in August for the third Warwick Prize for Writing for his 2012 story collection, "Suddenly, a Knock on the Door" (FSG Originals, 2012). "Exuding a rare combination of depth and accessibility, Keret's tales overflow with absurdity, humour, longing and compassion, and though their circumstances are often strange and surreal, his characters are defined by a familiar and fierce humanity," reads the Warwick nomination. "'Suddenly, a Knock on the Door' is at once Keret's most mature and most playful work yet, and establishes him as one of the great international writers of our time."
He is the author of six short story collections, which have been translated from Hebrew. They are"Suddenly, a Knock on the Door," "Four Stories" (Syracuse University Press, 2010), "The Girl On The Fridge" (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008), "Missing Kissinger" (Vintage Books, 2008), "The Nimrod Flipout" (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2006), and "The Bus Driver Who Wanted to Be God & Other Stories" (Toby Press, 2004). He has also written graphic novels and a children's book. His work has appeared in publications, including The New York Times, Le Monde, The Guardian, The Paris Review, The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine and Zoetrope.
Reviewers describe his stories as whimsical, funny, surreal, and short—some just paragraphs long. "Keret alights upon protagonists in the midst of psychic upheaval, willing to embrace the bizarre twists that deliver them to their appointed grace or ruin," a New York Times reviewer wrote of "Suddenly, a Knock on the Door." "The humor in their travails arises not from an effort to charm the reader but to confront the darkness that shadows our human folly."
Keret has also written several movies for television and screen and has directed three movies. "Jellyfish," which he directed with his wife, Shira Geffen (who wrote the film), won the Camera d'Or prize for best first feature at Cannes in 2007. "Working with a sureness of touch, the film's directors understand that what's imaginary and what's real can be made to look the same on film, and that what makes logical sense is less important than deeper emotional truth," the Los Angeles Times wrote in 2008.
Keret's stories have been featured on NPR's "This American Life Selected Shorts." "Suddenly, a Knock on the Door" was recorded as an Audible Audio Edition. Narrators include Ira Glass, Willem Dafoe and George Saunders G'88.
Keret talked about his writing routine in a 2012 interview with the San Francisco Bay Guardian. "It is a bit like saying 'having-a-once-in-a-lifetime-insight-which-makes-you-want-to burst-into-tears routine,'" he said. "There has never been anything routine-like about writing for me. I sit down and start writing only when I have a story in mind."
Fall 2013 Series Schedule
The Raymond Carver Reading series will continue with the following authors. All readings begin at 5:30 p.m. in Gifford Auditorium. Question-and-answer sessions are from 3:45-4:30 p.m. Further information is available by calling 315-443-2174.
Oct. 16: David Baker, a poet whose books include "Never-Ending Birds" (W.W. Norton, 2009) and "Talk Poetry, Poems and Interviews with Nine American Poets" (University of Arkansas Press, 2012). He is also the poetry editor of the Kenyon Review.
Nov. 13: Stephen Dunn G '70, who won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for "Poetry for Different Hours" (W.W. Norton, 2000). His poetry collections include "Here and Now: Poems" (W.W. Norton, 2011) and "What Goes On: Selected and New Poems 1995-2009" (W.W. Norton, 2009).
Nov. 20: Cheryl Strayed G '02, author of The New York Times bestselling memoir "Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail" (Knopf, 2012), "Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life From Dear Sugar" (Vintage Books, 2012), and the novel "Torch" (Houghton Mifflin, 2006).

V. Vankovich`s House
Creating the museum "The House of Vankovich. The culture and art of the first half of the 19th century" - the authors of the project aimed at making it the centre of cultural life and disposing it on the territory of the former Volosskaya street of Upper Town in Minsk as it used to be in the 19th century.
The museum was opened in 2000 on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the renowned artist Valentiy Vankovich (1800-1842). Nowadays it displays a permanent exposition, that covers several topics: the first two halls are dedicated to Vankovich`s life and works: archive materials, portraits photographs and the original works of art and decorative and applied arts are exposed there too. The architecture of the Vankovich`s House is typical for the buildings of the 18th – the first half of the 19th centuries.
The Vankovich`s House was built at the end of the 18th century. During the architectural and archaeological researches it was found out that the territory had been inhabited in the end of the 16th century, and in the second half of the 17th century a stone house had been constructed here, the cellars of which are now situated under the north part of the Vankovich`s House.
Valenty Vankovich is one of the few Belarusian artists of the 19th century, whose name is etched not only in the history of culture of his motherland culture but far beyond it. He created a big portrait gallery of his contemporaries. Unfortunately, there is not a single original painting of Vankovich in the Republic of Belarus so far. The copy of Vankovich self-portrait and one of the most famous artist's works – the portrait of Adam Mickiewicz, are displaced in the museum. The 19th century art is represented by the art works of the artists-contemporaries of Vankovich.
Portrait galleries were an indispensable fashion accessory of the house, where the portraits of ancestors and family members were placed. Family portraits of Belarusian nobility (szlachta) of the 17th – first half of the 19th centuries take place in the museum exposition.
Though there are no portraits of Vankovich`s family representatives in the museum, still most of the portraits demonstrate the contemporaries of the artist, who had a certain social status – szlachta, military men, law officers, their wives and daughters. Appearance, character, clothes, the level of intellect and culture of the personages of Vankovich are precisely reproduced on his portraits.
The study, the dining room, the tea-room and the front parlour have been totally restored to their original appearance with well-preserved furniture, lamps and household items.
One of the halls serves as a music hall. In the first quarter of the 19th century musical evenings became traditional in noblemen estates. Such events were regularly held in the Vankovich`s House as well. Nowadays, the tradition of such evenings has been renewed in the House. The most interactive exhibit in The House of Vankovich is the piano. The employees of the museum play the piano during the excursions, and it also can be heard at chamber music concerts held in the music hall. Concerts of classical music, poetic and historic evenings devoted to various events and personages of native history are regularly held in the music parlour.
Open days: Wednesday – Sunday 10 am-6 pm. (ticket office open until 5.30 pm.).
Address: 33a Internatsionalnaya St. (the nearest metro stations - "Oktyabskaya", "Kupalovskaya", "Nemiga").
For any questions: (017) 227-87-96.

Network sharing and co-investments in NGN as a way to fulfill the goal with the digital agenda
The European Commission and most European countries have set ambitious broadband targets aiming to provide up to 100 Mbits to the end-customers. On back of a declining fixed market, negative growth for operators and a slow take up of fiber while maintaining high capex levels operators will ultimately be forced to take innovative approaches towards broadband investments. This paper relates co-investments in NGA to the regulatory framework in the form of SMP regulation and competition law making the conclusion that the current regulatory framework is sufficient to avoid a distorted competition on the market. A number of examples of ongoing co-investment projects are presented underscoring a growing interest for co-investments and indicating that co-investments, at this point, are not hampering competition. The mobile industry has gradually moved towards network sharing indicating a tendency towards vertical disintegration, although so far only a tendency. The ongoing structural separation of Telecom New Zealand with the establishment of a separate network and wholesale company is an indication of this development. The paper concludes by stating that regulators have appropriate tools to handle potential competition issues regarding coinvestments, that co-investments could be a vehicle for reaching the broadband targets, that there are efficiency gains for operators to make by lower Opex and capex, and ultimately giving network companies the means to utilize their balance sheet in order to increase the return.

yet these are the days that i want to remember, hold dear and cherish now and always. these moments. the moments of baby belly giggles and snaggle-tooth. the white blond hair, unkept, on that gorgeous boy of mine. the little girl who turns into a young lady while i blink.
the moments of being needed in the night and far too early in the morning. the moments of cheerios and blueberries strewn throughout the floors. tiny shoes, mismatched, always searching for the missing culprit. the days of so and so touched me and refereeing more than i'd like.
days of endless hugs, kisses and cuddling. the days of sitting shoulder to shoulder reading book after book with only a request for more. yes, these truly are THE DAYS. let us live full in them, every last one.

A beautiful gemstone nugget bracelet 5 strands each one different, peridot, quartz, amethyst, garnet and a couple I can't identify. Strung on elastic for sure fit but with a classy toggle clasp. Earrings are 2" matching stones in drop style. All findings are sterling. So versatile with all these colors. Great for any season.

Hey! I have an idea. Let's play a game called Spot the Collection where every time you notice a trend imported directly from a luxury runway of Fall, you apply deodorant, hit your hand on your desk and comment under this post detailing the garment shown vs. the one it emulates.
I can go first if you want:
a. Deodorant applied
b. Hand hit (and hurt)
c. Marc Jacobs and Céline ribbed knits as seen in images 4, 5 and on the shop page of Zara.com.
K, now you.
(Also, though, let's talk about your feelings. Do you like this look book? I, for one, think it could have been better if not because it's looking a little too atheltic what with its parkas and sweatpants and nylon zip-ups, then certainly because the up-for-sale, fall-centric items that flourish on the shop pages put these ones to shame.)

Matt Bell powers Miller Place over Eastport-South Manor
You can't un-ring a bell and apparently, you can't wear one out, either.
Matt Bell ran for four touchdowns out of the wildcat, caught four passes, made an interception that led to a score and even chimed in with a timely booming punt to lead No. 5 Miller Place to a 52-17 victory over host No. 4 Eastport-South Manor Friday night in a Suffolk III first-round playoff game.
"It gets pretty exhausting being on the field all the time, but I love every minute of it," said Bell, who scored on runs of nine, 10 and 14 yards in the first half and added a 12-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter when the Panthers (6-3) pulled away with 22 points.
Bell and teammate Mike Bodnar made interceptions on ESM's first two drives and Bell ended the ensuing drives with touchdown runs for a quick 13-0 lead. "The wildcat is just for him," Miller Place coach Ron Petrie said.
The Panthers scored touchdowns on their first four possessions, with Bell adding another scoring run and Stephen Farrell hooking up with Matt's brother Tom for a 45-yard touchdown pass that made it 27-7. Tom Bell caught five for 81 yards, four in the first half when the Panthers built a 30-7 lead.
The Sharks, however, wouldn't go down without a bite. Matt Kane (15-for-41, 202 yards, three interceptions) led his team on two scoring drives for 10 points that made it 30-17 with 2:25 left in the third quarter.
"They came out swinging in the third quarter and I was a little worried," Petrie said. "I was wondering how we would respond."
Very well as it turned out. There was one more dangerous moment, when Matt Bell was forced to punt from his own end zone early in the fourth quarter. But he booted it 59 yards. On the next play, Cole Francis recovered a fumble, setting up the Panthers at the ESM 31. Four plays later, Bell ran it in from the 12.
On the next ESM drive, Bodner made his second interception, returned it 18 yards and after a penalty was tacked on, the Panthers were in business at the Sharks' 8. Three plays later Kemonte Mosely (17 carries, 81 yards) scored from the 1. Tyler Ammirato (10 carries, 91 yards) added a 34-yard TD run as Miller Place cruised into next week's Suffolk III semifinal.
Matt Bell (nine carries, 56 yards, four receptions, 62 yards) admitted he was feeling some fatigue in the fourth quarter. "Coach asked me if he should put in Tyler -- he's our backup in the wildcat -- but I told him, 'No way.' I wanted to make plays for me, for the team and for the fans."
Ring up a big victory for Miller Place.

A burglar was nabbed by an armed response officer at Kuswag Skool on Sunday, 9 April.
ET Rapid Response South Coast managing member, Tony Lokker said their guard heard glass breaking at the school at about 8pm.
"He requested assistance from our armed response. Two of our vehicles responded, while the guard secured the perimeter," said Lokker.
Senior reaction member, Louis van Rooyen suspected the burglar might still be inside and requested the key holder to open up for an internal check.
He was apprehended a short while later inside the premises. "He was subdued after a brief struggle where he attacked Louis with a hockey stick. He was detained and charged at Toti SAPS. Well done boys," said Lokker.

New eReader Store Opens in Saigon
Among its other ventures (film, printing, publishing, consumer goods, stationary, and so on),Phuong Nam operates a chain of 30 bookstores, so they're not a complete newcomer to the market. This store will probably do a lot of business. I don't have current stats, but in the past I have seen evidence that there is a sizable number of people reading ebooks in Vietnam.
Wattpad used to release quarterly metrics reports which tracked who visited the social reading site from which countries on what devices. One thing that always stuck out was Vietnam. This tiny country with 86 million people was usually the second largest group of visitors among those who read on a computer (following the US). They easily beat out the UK, Canada, and everyone else.
I should note that Wattpad stopped sharing the metrics report in early 2011, so this data is old. But it is likely still mostly true and it points at a potential customer base.The trick is in getting people to switch to a new device.
Assuming the prices are low enough that the average Vietnamese consumer can afford to buy, this store will be mobbed.

It didn't take Toyota Motor Corp. long to stage a comeback and recapture its crown as the top-selling automaker in the world. The past year has been difficult for the company as it struggled from the impact of natural disasters in 2011. But now, Toyota is expecting to raise its 2012 production and sales forecasts.
Toyota is set to announce its largest quarterly operating profit in four years, signifying a full recovery from the disruption in supply chains that was the result of the Thailand floods and the Japan earthquake. Analysts said that the challenge now is on whether the outsized sales gains Toyota saw in its biggest markets could be sustained in the upcoming quarters.
Toyota is expected to report an operating profit of 314.1 billion yen ($4 billion) on average for the quarter that ends in June, compared with a loss in the previous year, according to analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
In addition, they predict a 5.7% operating margin, a sharp increase from the 1.9% margin posted for the fiscal year ended in March. This would mean that Toyota would fall below the performance of its peak year that ended March 2008, before the worldwide financial crisis affected sales and quality and safety problems compelled it to recall about 19 million vehicles beginning in 2009.
Kurt Sanger, auto analyst at Deutsche Securities, said that the automaker is coping with the various challenges but the yen continues to be "a phenomenal problem for them."
Toyota has set a target to continue producing 3 million vehicles a year in Japan, making it more exposed to the stronger yen than its direct competitors. About 40% of Toyota's cars and trucks are built in Japan. On the other hand, domestic rivals Nissan and Honda only produce around 25% in Japan. [source: Reuters]

Software testing
Software is today used in more and different ways than ever before. From refrigerators and cars to space shuttles and smart cards. As such, most software, usually need to adhere to a specification, i.e. to make sure that it does what is expected. Normally, a software engineer goes through a certain process to establish that the software follows a given specification. This process, verification and validation (V & V), ensures that the software conforms to its specification and that the customers ultimately receive what they ordered.

This project concerns building a document parser that can be used as a software engineering tool. A software tester's task frequently involves comparing the behavior of a running system with a document describing the behavior of the system. If a problem is found, it may indicate an update is required to the document, the software system, or both. A tool to generate tests automatically based on documents would be very useful to software engineers, but it requires a document parser which can identify and extract testable conditions in the text. ...

Welcome to the Gates of Hell
"Abandon all hope ye who enter here" – Canto III The Gate of Hell, Inferno
Quite recently, our great old capital, Manila, was reluctantly pushed in the limelight when bestselling author, Dan Brown (Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons) described Manila in his latest book, Inferno, as the 'Gates of Hell'. I haven't read the book yet; all my money I spent on my brief tryst with Bacolod so I managed to get a copy of the excerpt from news networks and here it is:
Brooks, who has been working with humanitarian groups, went to the Philippines for a mission to supposedly feed poor fishermen and farmers on the countryside.
She expected the Philippines to be a "wonderland of geological beauty, with vibrant seabeds and dazzling plains."
Upon setting foot in Manila, however, Brooks could only "gape in horror" as "she had never seen poverty on this scale."
She said her "dark depression" flooded back, with pictures of poverty and crime flashing through her eyes.
"For every one person Sienna fed, there were hundreds more who gazed at her with desolate eyes," the book read.
One after the other, the book described chaotic Manila: "six-hour traffic jams, suffocating pollution, horrifying sex trade."
The book described the sex industry as consisting mostly of young children "many of whom had been sold to pimps by parents who took solace in knowing that at least their children would be fed."
"All around her, she could see humanity overrun by its primal instinct for survival…When they face desperation…human beings become animals," the book read.
The book went on to detail a turning point in Brooks' life. "I've run through the gates of hell," she said.
– Ira Pedrasa, ABS-CBNnews.com http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/lifestyle/05/21/13/dan-brown-calls-manila-gates-hell-novel
Is it a mortal sin as Pinoy that when I read the description, I wasn't imbued with strong sense of self-righteous anger towards Dan Brown on how could he blatantly stamped Manila as the Gates of Hell for the whole world to read?
In Tagalog, I am dedma. I've come upon stronger and uglier descriptions of Manila in my lifetime, some by foreign authors, most by Filipino ones. I even irrelevantly called Manila as the 'belly of the beast'. You might say I'm lacking in nationalistic spirit or I am indifferent to its impact on the tourism of my country but come on, even without Dan Brown's description which I might add, in his purely fictitious book, most of the world still thinks Manila is a densely populated city of ungodly traffic, crime and corruption. All poor opinions of Manila boil down to three words: Sad but true.
Prior to World War II, the old Manila is thousand times different than the present one. We are called the 'Queen City of the Pacific' or the 'Pearl of the Orient Seas'. The city is visited by many foreigners either to settle or to study here. I've seen some old photos of Manila, of the well-paved roads, the glistening buildings in Makati, the clean and well-maintained Baywalk running along the Manila Bay. More than forty years later, time and circumstances drastically changed Manila's face but I can't deny that some of its beauty is still ever present in some areas. There's still the sophisticated beauty of Makati Avenue, the rising towers in the Fort Bonifacio, Eastwood and Ortigas. We still have the Luneta Park, though different from its original state, is often visited and enjoyed by tourists. The well-preserved Intramuros and Fort Santiago. The clean and wide roads and sleek architecture in Pasay and many things more. If you have been living in Manila for years, you'd find yourself acquainted with its dark nature as well as its inner twisted beauty most people couldn't see.
Dan Brown immortalised Manila in his book with that description but hasn't there been any city shown in poor light that remained as it is? New Delhi has been repeatedly shown in the media as a gritty and overly populated area where people don't give a hoot about hygiene but did the residents reacted? And look at India now? It's the rising Elephant of Asia which receives millions of tourists every year.
You might clamor that Manila, being the capital city, represents the whole Philippines as a whole. I beg to differ. Manila won't be a justifying factor when tourists wanted to go to Boracay, or to Palawan, or to Cebu or Davao. In the end, it's not Manila that defines the Philippines. How can you incorporate that reasoning in an archipelago of 7,000+ islands? The tragedy of Manila lies in the fact that over the years, it has grown in a gateway of opportunities and dreams, only to smack you down with false illusions. Many would leave their lands and homes in the province to come to Manila in search of work or proper living, only to be shunned away and forced to live in sewage areas near the rivers, forced to swallow down acts of immorality just to bring a small piece of food in the dining table.
In a way, I might have to agree with Dan Brown. Such allusion has never been more correct. Manila still has a long way to go to stand in the ranks alongside Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Seoul and Hong Kong. For as long as its residents are forced to unleash their demons driven by desperation to get their next meal or send their children to school everyday, for as long as people remained indifferent to the surroundings around them and continued to gorge in their selfish acts, Manila will and always will be the Gates of Hell.

School is Still in SessionPosted by alwspoon on Aug 22, 2012 in Cards, Design Team, Ink it Pink, Pink by Design Stamps, Stamping | 6 comments
Hello everyone. Annette here from A. Spoon Full of Sugar with a fun card using paperclips!! We have decided to extend last week's challenge to use school supplies on a project. Many of you have been busy actually buying school supplies for your young scholar. Why not use a few of them on a project?
I usually spend a lot of time thinking about my project before I break out the ink and paper. I knew I wanted to use the supplies in an innovative way. Then it occurred to me that pretty much anything looks cute and fun if you put googly eyes on it!! Ha ha!!
I made Bobby and Suzy Paperclip by first gluing on the eyes using Glossy Accents. I love that stuff. Then, I added the eyeglasses brad from the Eyelet Outlet onto Bobby's face. I gave him a blue bow tie and Suzy dons a cute pink bow in her hair. The sentient is from the School is Cool set and the apple is from Kaiser Crafts. The notebook paper is taped to the card base with ruler washi tape from Love my Tapes. This card is already signed and stuffed in an envelope inside my son's book bag. Tomorrow is his first day of 2nd grade. I am so proud of him.
Now it's your turn to step outside the {pencil} box. Create a project using at least one school supply and link it below. The bell rings next Tuesday at noon. Don't be tardy!! I look forward to seeing your creativity!!


text: OK, I've used doubles a lot and I've posted some other info about some problems I was having on another thread. I just wanted to type all the info, get some thoughts ect... Well I decided to try the popular Gators and highlift combo for the leaves this season instead of factory wave style mulchers and Gators like I've been using. Reason being is it has been a popular thing and the heavy duty highlifts are a much more durable blade than the wave style mulchers. Everything was fine until the leaves really started falling good and the good big ones were on the ground to catch some air. I had a major blow-out/blow-away problem. Then I realized that it was because these blades were thicker and had a deeper gullwing design that caused them to actually be a hair below the front deck lip. (I will add some pics so you can understand what I mean by gullwing) So, I was stuck out with no extra blades. The Gators were in too ruff of a shape to be doing the main cutting. So, I removed the Gators and installed the highlifts. They were running under the deck now and most of the problem was solved. So I finished the day running just highlifts and did OK. Now I don't know if its the big change in weather and temps, but I sure seem to be getting great stripes out of the highlifts. So is there a big relation between blade lift and striping effect??? So anyways, later I'm off to get some new blades. Something in a flatter highlift, something in a flatter mulching blade and some new Gators. I scored everything but the Gators! They're on backorder So here I sit with 5 different blade styles and some worn out Gators. What I really wanted to try 1st was the flat highlifts and the Gators. But, even though I'd be putting the highlifts on bottom, the Gators still dip down enough to make themselves the main cutting blade. Are these too far gone to salvage? I'd noramlly trash them.

Scribe Report by Gangreen
HORACE: THE ODES, Book 1, Chapter 37, Cleopatra
Now's the time for drinking deep, and now's the time
to beat the earth with unfettered feet, the time
to set out the hares sacred courses my friends,
and prepare a Salian feast.
A 'loose' translation of the above……
You know, those old Greek philosophers Horace, Demetrious The Cynci, Dioganes, Anaximenes, Theophrastus, and Maimonides all long time schoolyard friends of our elder statesmen SIR SPAGHETTI HEAD and KING YAO YAO really knew what they were talking about. Of course way back then it was called the "Hummus House Harriers" and i'm sure that SIR SPAGHETTI HEAD and KING YAO YAO still have the anniversary togas that commemorated their 100th runs and I'm also sure they also had many 'honey mead' down-downs to celebrate!!!!
But this piece of crapola is to celebrate today's Run #1557 which also happens to be the 30th Anniversary of the Pattaya Monday Night Hash House Harriers. And as a added bonus, it it also the year 2557 in the Thai calendar… coincidence……or just something our GM SCAR WITH TWO T's was using to kill a few minutes and to make us all think he was 'really, really' smart and deserving of being our "GM". But intelligence is not always a prerequisite to being the PH3 GM as was proven later on in the circle when all the previous GM's were called in to show their total oblivIousness to what was going on around them and just exactly what they were doing here!!! Old age seems to creep up on all of us but being a PH3 GM seems to age them beyond their years and "Old Timers Disease" combined with a lifetime unhealthy desire for beer and more beer (and never mind all the down-downs they have had to consume) makes them the most pitiful group of people you could ever see……It just breaks my heart!!!!!
Think twice people before anyone asks you to be the next PH3 GM!!!!!!
But enough about them……we must talk about what happened today…..Arrived at the Buffalo Bar eagerly anticipating meeting a bunch of…..I really don't know exactly what I was expecting but sadly it was the 'same old, same old' group except for the "totalitarian" way of 'herding' us off into the Black Pearl, and the remaining baht buses. Now I know how the Jews felt back in the German 'good old days' by being dispatched to your appointed seat……memo to everybody…..if you can't get a Nazi, a Aussie (perhaps MENTAL DISORDER?) will perform the same function more efficiently but with less humour and we all know how funny the Germans can be after doing whatever they do best and it's not football.
What a great place the Grand Valley Resort is to hold our Anniversary Run. Our 'cattle cars' made good time from Pattaya which left us all lots of time to tell each other a bunch of lies of how we are all anticipating today's run, looking forward to breaking a couple of checks, no short-cutting for me, and considering how old "SIR CHICKEN F*CKER" one of today's hares is, it can't be that far of a run……well since I have never been on a run, I must believe that what was being said is true!!!!! "Hasher to Hasher" has to be one of the most inspiring and truth sharing experiences one could ever have…… or so I was told by another Hasher.
The first circle finally began with the welcoming of all the 'virgins' and 'visitors'….it was about this time your scribe was starting to drift off and really didn't hear too much about names and where they were from……someting else about having all the 'new shoes' (seven so i'm told) being christened with water…..WATER!!!!!
What kind of punishment is that?????
Water is a colourless, tasteless, and odourless substance according to all the dictionaries and it get's even worse when you do even more investigating. If water was that beneficial, then why do so many Englishmen avoid it all the time and they have been around for a long, long time…..too long according to many of my European friends.
As most of us have no idea about what the heck's going on without some kind of guidance, our two great hares "VV" AKA "VIETNAMESE VIOLATOR" and the "don't leave your girlfriend alone with me" munchkin known as "SIR CHICKEN F*CKER" started to tell all of us about todays run. Fortunateley/Unfortunateley it was left to VV to describe the 'back checks', 'false trails', and whatever the heck happens on what you Hash People call a 'hash run'. Unless you have been watching a lot of "Inspector Clouseau" films or VV comes with 'subtitles' you were pretty much left up to your own devices….The suddenly mute "except for talking to any pretty lady nearby" SIR CHICKEN F*CKER offered negligible assistance except to say the run started somewhere over there……..and you know, he was right!!!!!!!
And so they were off!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nonetheless, here they go again on another adventure. Their packs are full, their hearts are light and they'll soon be in the short-cutting swamp. Every previous shortcut takes you further and further away from the Beer Truck….so what is the point???? As most of you know, I prefer to do the weekly hash house run "assal horizontally", doctor approved method which includes basically sitting on my ass and watching the pounds/kilos disappear from my waistline.So far, So good……But being todays scribe didn't come without it's benefits. First off was a visit from the funny (not in a ha-ha kind of way) but in a funny ( "wow, is this guy really wierd!!!) who goes by the name of PUSSY WHIPPED. I know most people try to avoid him but as your Hash Scribe, I was obliged to talk to anyone and everyone and I think he belonged in one of that group. The thrust of his conversation was the offering of 100 baht to mention his new website on my sacred scribe report. He knew I was a whore but sadly I finally found out how much I was really worth……and it's really now up to the "SEXY BUM" person to find out what his conversation "thrust" is really all about. The other 'violation' that I felt was when "SEAL SUCKER' wanted to make sure I noted that he was the first KIWI to the buffet. If anyone mentions "SEAL SUCKER" in any kind of sentence….nuff said!!!
Well you might think that: Taumata-whakatangihanga-koauau-o-tamatea-turi-pukakapiki-maunga-hor-maunga-horo-nuka-pokai-whenua-kitanatahu is a famous hill or the abbreviated form of the world's longest village name in New Zealand, but sadly it was the sound almost all of the runners made when they returned to the A-Site what with all the 'huffing & puffing that was going on. It wasn't a hard run by all accounts, but I really do believe that this running thing can't really be that good for your health and also cuts down on your drinking time!!! Geez….maybe I had it right all this time!!!! Almost everyone that I talked to said it was a very good run, and then told me to get the heck out of the way as SIR BOTTOMLESS PIT was offering up some terrific tasting German beer and they wanted to get some (a lot) before both kegs were polished off.
It was round this time that SIR SPAGHETTI HEAD wanted to tell me on the "just between you and me" that I should keep my eyes open for two really stupid guys who were on the Hash tonight…..as we all would query if presented with that kind of statement…."You and who else?" But I must admit that I haven't seen SIR SPAGHETTI HEAD so relaxed since he last served as "Watch Commander" at Pearl Harbor way back in his early years of military service.
Wasn't that great food tonight people!!!!! A very big thank you to people from Jameson's and all the other people from the Hash House Harriers who made it possible. I'm better at giving insults than kind words but on behalf of all the people who had a terrific time today, thanks to all the dedicated Hashers who made it all possible!!!!!!……of course you had 30 years to get it right!!!!!
6.55pm was when the circle started with the 'World's Greatest Brewmaster' and lottery guy doing whatever he does. Several people won prizes but your humble scribe won something too that my girlfriend promptly thanked me for and is probably on it's way to her village as we speak……but I did get to hold it for a few seconds. This week offered lots of great prizes and more important lots of greater laughs thanks to SIR BOTTOMLESS PIT who seems to suffer from a bad case of "Witzelsucht" which is a very rare disease that causes the victim to make bad puns and jokes. It's from the German "Witzein" meaning "joke" and "sucht" meaning yearning or at least that's what the official Hash Scribe Dictionary says.
In honour of our illustrious 'World's Greatest Brewmaster', a couple of quotes about drinking and they are all so true and we may even know who they may even apply to!!!!!!.
"Maybe some folks are alcoholics and others are just voluntary drunks.
Maybe some folks drink due to body chemistry and others due to their lazy characters.
Maybe some have drinking problems, while others have problems enough to drink."
– George Jones, I Lived to Tell It All
"I don't drink to make others look better, I just drink to make myself feel prettier." – MY GIRLFRIEND KNOWS I'M GAY's autobiography
And then it was time for our EMPEROR AIRHEAD to take over the circle……and 'Take Over' he did!!!….A great job of making our visitors and virgins feel very welcome to the Pattaya Monday Hash but most importanly was the naming of two new hashers. The perfect son of SUZIE WONG & HULK was named "HAG SHAGGER" for all the obvious reasons and if you want to know why, don't ask him as sadly he doesn't really know what happened and another person (sorry for that) has the new Hash Name AC/DC because he liked to lick live wires or liked to lick other things. or something else altogether different or a combination of the above.
OH!!!!!!!!!!!! and ROBBING BASTARD celebrated his 150th Run today too!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!! TRY-A-F*CK also approached me about being mentioned doing a "Hash Crash". It is really amazing about how many people approach the scribe to brag about what a "F*ck Up" they are…….you all should be so proud and a joy to your mother!!!!!
Next up on our dance card was our resident "Dr. Feelgood" kinda RA named WANK-KING'S WANKER who rightfully wanted to ice a couple of people for having "Tourist Syndrome" which is similar to Tourettes Symdrome only without the 'naughty bits'. He also iced all the visitors from the Sunday Pattaya Jungle run because he could and also had a bad case of "Tourist Syndrome" which he used to spew a bunch of 3 letter words as compared to all the 4 letter words if he had a full blown case of the Tourettes which I think is French for "F*ck You"
One of the great things about the Hash is we always remember the people who made it all possible. KNOB MARLEY next took over the circle to commemorate all of our friends and fellow hashers who have passed on. Even though I didn't know most of the people mentioned, I could feel the love and loss of the people around me who did have the honour and privilege of knowing those people. I only wish that I could have known them too. Job well done KNOB MARLEY.
You wouldn't think that SIR WANDA was old enough to be your babbling old grandfather but he took over the circle and started to go down memory lane about the rivalry between the Phuket PH3 (both SIR WANDA's & my mother hash) and the Pattaya PH3.
And it's all about the Phuket GM's hat. I only remember one Phuket GM hat but by the time SIR WANDA's story was over, I do believe there were 3 hats mentioned and most were filled to the brim with something more "cumish" than beer which the Phuket Hashers were so proud and willing to consume. All in the name of coming to Pattaya for a few days of Hashing and :"not being in Phuket with the girlfriend" excuse which was so easy to do back then as there were no mobile phones.
SIR REALLY SADISTIC BASTARD rounded up the 'usual suspects' including the always 'who me?' BALL RINGER. LIBERACE, SIR FREE WILLY, SQUEEZE MY TUBE, PAPRIKA SMILEY and the always innocent GM SCAR WITH TWO T'S……It was a performance that can't be described except on YouTube or one of the porn videos as if you needed an excuse to watch them. It's really amazing the SIR REALLY SADISTIC BASTARD could remember all of those jokes and songs after consuming a Chang or three.as he does suffer from a relatively uncommon disease outside of Thailand by the name of "Chang-erosis". The symptom is a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the imbiber which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker!!!!!!
Speaking of performance that can't be described, in between visits to Boys Town, our very own LORD CHICKEN F*CKER next took the stage, circle, square????? Again, due to my inebriated state, inability to read my own writing this late into the circle, I want to thank LORD CHICKEN F*CKER for a great performance. Sometimes it's just better to stand back and watch LORD CHICKEN F*CKER in action and this was one of those occasions as he spares no one from his jokes or a visit on the ice. It's also very difficult to write down exactly all that went on with our LORD CHICKEN F*CKER unless you were a court stenographer.
Now the next part of my scribe report is very confusing to me. It's the last part of my written sheets which included the above mentioned terrific Religious Advisors. My last notes have CABBAGE HEAD taking over the circle and something about the Aussies, blah, blah, blah. I remember laughing (and who doesn't laugh at a bunch of Aussies) but it's what I have written below these notes that has me worried…….I finished it all off with the word "Homersexualism" which kinda scares the crap out of me because I'm not sure if it's about CABBAGE HEAD , the people who were on the ice at the time, the Aussies or was it about me?????
I'll leave it up to you do decide…….and remember that I brought a girl to today's festivities and the other people didn't!!!!!
I'll leave you with a few word of wisdom:
Never Walk by a Pigeon Coup with an Owl in Your Pocket
Once You Turn 60, Never Pass a Bathroom and Never Trust a Fart!
ON-ON ! Gangreen

By Gianmarco Segato, Adult Programs Manager
When Falstaff premiered at La Scala, Milan in 1893, it landed at the centre of a critical controversy raging between two opposing points of view.
On one side, there were those who saw the future of Italian opera as lying within the "Wagnerian" camp; that is, in compositions that veered in the direction of orchestral complexity, constant melodic development, a reduction of the role of the melodic line and, the subordination of music to the text – elements not generally associated with the great Italian bel canto tradition in which melody and the singing line dominated.
A second, opposing group of Italian critics asserted that Verdi did actually achieve perfection with Falstaff – that it stood at the summit of his career. They explained away the Wagnerian "problem" by attributing Falstaff's musical innovation to the internal creative development of Verdi's mind as opposed to any wholesale adoption of Germanic influences.
So, where does Verdi himself fall in this critical maelstrom? He did make it clear his last opera would be quite different from anything he'd previously written. It was to be the comedy he always wanted to compose and from a musical point of view, Verdi said he wrote it as much for his own amusement as for the public's.
Verdi's Falstaff is extremely rich, inventive, and fast-paced; the orchestration is sensitive to every shift in the language of Arrigo Boito's libretto – so, when an image in the text changes, the music turns on a dime and adopts a different tempo and mood, befitting the tone of the text. Paradoxically, this extreme invention is probably also the reason why, at first, audiences did not embrace this opera in quite the same way as they had with Verdi's earlier works. There is a fleeting quality about it. Falstaff contains an abundance of melody, without much repetition; tunes come and go almost before they can be grasped. The immediately memorable, hummable tunes of Rigoletto and La Traviata are no longer foremost on the composer's agenda.
Musical Excerpt #1
Excerpt #1 Act III: Aria: "Sul fil d'un soffio etesio" ("Borne on the freshening breeze")
Connection to the story:
As part of an elaborate plot to trick Falstaff at nighttime in the forest of Windsor Park, Nannetta is disguised as Queen of the Fairies and invokes the forest's nocturnal magic.
Musical Significance:
This enchanting aria stands alone as the one number in Falstaff which retains the closest links to Verdi's compositional past. It is constructed strophically (two stanzas, each with a choral response) and is unique within the opera as a self-contained, closed piece: it is clear where the first and second verses end (listen at 1:12 and 3:46); where the chorus makes their replies (1:16 and 3:49) and it has a distinct "ending" (cue applause!). Verdi's use of a more conventional formal structure for this aria seems appropriate – after all, Nannetta is definitely taking on a "role" in this scene; a theatrical set-up meant to trick and torment Falstaff.
The structure may rely on tradition, but its orchestration shows Verdi at his most sophisticated, using harp and divided violins, a soft swirl of woodwinds (at 0:20), and the glow of horns to support Nannetta's high, clear voice as it conjures up the moonlit park setting and the glimmering forms gliding and weaving within it. At 0:38, Nannetta (as the Queen) invites her fairies to dance and the pulse switches to a gentle 3/4 time, the accompaniment offering a serene, waltz-like dance rhythm on quiet chords played by harp, horns and strings.
Musical Excerpt #2
Act I, Part 1: "So che se andiam, la notte, di taverna in taverna" ("True, as we go from tavern to tavern at night")
Falstaff berates Bardolph and Pistol, angry that their exorbitant bar bills will impact his own ability to eat and drink and that if he becomes thin… no one will love him!
Musical Significance
This excerpt demonstrates just how attuned Verdi was to Arrigo Boito's text, his musical imagination spurred on by each twist and turn of the story. Listen at 0:04 as Falstaff reflects on all his years of drinking with Bardolph and Pistol which are expressed in a kind of weaving, zig-zaggy melody that mimics the trio's wobbly path from tavern to tavern. This tune is quickly thrown over for another as Falstaff describes the brightness of Bardolph's (decidedly sozzled) nose, comparing it to a guiding lantern. The original musical idea of the inebriated walk is therefore replaced at 0:14 by an upwardly shooting tune, almost like a lick of flame climbing upwards. Already, in only four lines of text, musical ideas shift at a rapid pace. This is a microcosm of what Verdi does throughout the opera, using the music to expand the meaning of the text, providing orchestration that's very tightly coiled around the meaning and the shape of the words.
Next, Falstaff's fear that Pistol and Bardolph's spending habits will cause the eventual wasting away of his own substance is matched by a descriptive, admonishing, braying rhythm on all three trumpets (0:40). Contemplating a potentially debilitating loss of girth at 0:54, Falstaff sings of the importance of his paunch: "Se Falstaff s'assottiglia non è più lui" ("If Falstaff gets thin, he won't be himself"). Verdi strategically orchestrates this line using piccolo (the highest pitched wind instrument) at one end of the range and cello (a lower-pitched string instrument) at the opposite end. Played together they musically telegraph Falstaff's broad girth which is mirrored by the wide range between these two instruments. The passage ends with Falstaff proclaiming his paunch as a kind of royal kingdom in which a thousand tongues cry out his name, all to the strains of a triumphant fanfare (1:41). And so, in a brief 90 seconds, Verdi takes us through a quick, constantly shifting series of melodies in which the orchestra, vocal line and text travel together in locked step, very, very quickly!
Musical Excerpt #3
Act I, Part 2, Ensemble: "Del tuo barbaro diagnostico?" ("Your barbaric diagnosis")
Connection to the Story:
During this brilliant concertato (interaction of two or more groups of voices) the women and men plot against each other while Nannetta's boyfriend, Fenton, soars above all the agitation saying he only has thoughts for his love!
This bravura, chattering ensemble presents a daunting challenge, demanding impeccable diction from the singers who must deliver their lines at lightning speed and with the utmost clarity. Nine voices are divided into three groups: the men (Dr. Caius, Bardolph, Pistol and Ford who start the ensemble); the women (Alice, Meg, Nannetta and Mistress Quickly joining in at 0:05); plus Fenton whose solo tenor line hovers above them all (heard for the first time at 0:22).
As the finale to Act I, this concertato (interaction of two or more groups of voices) hearkens back to the opera buffa (comic opera) tradition of Rossini who used similarly frantic, multiple-voice ensembles to conclude his acts in operas such as The Barber of Seville. Although often seen as the last great flower of buffa tradition, Falstaff far outstrips any such model both in terms of its form and substance. By this point in his development, Verdi's relationship with his forebears, not to mention his own past, had grown extremely complex so that Falstaff neither looks back slavishly to 18th-century opera buffa, nor aggressively forward to the symphonism of Puccini. Instead, it embodies something nearer to chamber music and in this way, is completely unique.
One very clear marker which distinguishes this concertato from its potential historic models is its integration of short, vocal melodies (like Fenton's solo line at 0:22) that possess an intense, sweet, heart-piercing freshness which Verdi sprinkles throughout the opera's complex ensembles. This integrated type of lyricism provides an important countermeasure of seriousness to the opera's predominant comedy, allowing Verdi to offer a more complete, realistic portrayal of the human condition.
Finally, the ensemble ends with perhaps the most gorgeous melody in the entire opera but, typically, it's a fleeting moment. At 1:25 Alice launches "Ma il viso mio su lui risplenderà" ("But my face will shine upon him"): a glowing, surging melodic gem often claimed to be the most beautiful Verdi ever wrote. However, before we can be completely swept away by its gorgeousness, a measure of irony is added when the women continue "…come una stella sull'immensità!" ("…like a star over the bottomless deep!"). Here, the intentional pun on the word "immensity" refers not only to physical space, but to Falstaff's girth, setting off peals of merry laughter in the women (at 1:54).
Musical Excerpt #4
Act III, Part 2, Ensemble: "Tutto nel mondo è burla!" ("All the world's a joke")
Admitting that he has been duped, Falstaff insists on "a chorus to finish the play." His subject: "All the world's a joke" and man is borne to be made fool of, though he who laughs last laughs best!
Ending an opera with a big ensemble summarizing the piece's moral lesson is not unusual – it's a standard opera buffa (comic opera) convention. However in choosing a fugue (in which a short melody – the subject first heard at 0:06 – is introduced by one part and successively taken up by others), Verdi settled on a musical form which would not have sounded particularly beautiful to the 19th-century Italian ear, and was certainly not expected even in the framework of a 19th-century Italian opera buffa. The fugue is not usually found in operatic music; it's a technique governed by strict rules and associated with the earlier Baroque era as exemplified by the works of Bach. In the context of Falstaff as a whole, Verdi's decision to deploy the fugue is curious: just as the entire texture of the opera has been characterized by a very fluid musical expression of loose forms and rapid changes, at the final moment when everything is summed up, Verdi reaches back to a highly academic, traditional structure.
Verdi's reasons for writing a fugue have been explained in various ways: that his perfect mastery of contrapuntal technique (writing for various voices which sing at the same time) was his way of getting back at those who in his youth refused to admit him into the Milan Conservatory. It has also been interpreted as a sort of call-out to the younger generation of Italian composers not to discount the basics; not to embrace uncritically the rise of a modern music that left no place for the old-fashioned fugue.
Despite its lofty, academic origins, Verdi insisted on calling his finale a "comic" fugue, working it into a climax which breaks off dramatically. After a silence Falstaff, alone and unaccompanied, utters a slow, mock-tragic "Tutti gabbati!" ("We all are fools!" at 2:30) to which the others dolefully reply the same (2:39), as though a sudden cloud were temporarily blocking the sun. That cloud disappears as quickly as it came; the tempo recovers; there is a rapid crescendo (increase in volume) and the opera ends as it began, with a great orchestral flourish (2:53).

Dorset Vineyard Drinks Up New Craze
10:56am 20th November 2012
A Dorset vineyard has found itself in the middle of a new craze sweeping Europe.
Furleigh Estate has received 100 requests from collectors who are after the metal caps that go on the top of their sparkling wine bottles.
Said Rebecca Hansford of Furleigh Estate: "We were aware that people collected examples of leading vineyard's bottle caps, but didn't think any more about it. However a couple of months ago, just after we won the UK Winemaker of the Year award, we started getting letters from people all around Europe asking for one of our bottle tops. Some want hundreds so they can sell them on, so we have had to ration them to one per request. Thankfully most include postage costs so we are happy to oblige. The letters come from right across Europe, from France and Spain across to Turkey and Greece."

A wife removed a sword from the scene where her husband brandished it during an affray and offered police a toy plastic one instead when they asked to see it, Burnley Crown Court was told.
Nazreem Bukhari (34), of Walton Lane, Nelson, was given a 12-month conditional discharge after pleading guilty to obstructing a police officer in the execution of his duty.
She was also ordered to pay £200 towards the cost of the hearing, and a statutory surcharge.
Allegations of having the sword in Walton Lane, Nelson, on July 20th and attempting to pervert the cause of justice by taking evidence away from the scene were not pursued by the Crown.
Mr Mark Storrie (prosecuting) said Mrs Bukhari was present at a violent confrontation between her taxi driver husband, Mohammed Bukhari, and another taxi driver.
The affray in Walton Lane was observed by a number of people nearby.
Mr Storrie said Mr Bukhari seized the sword and took it to the confrontation.
Mrs Bukhari took it from him and was seen to put it in the boot of a car. She told by-stander Pamela Black: "Stay out of it. There was no knife. Don't tell them anything."
Police traced Mrs Bukhari to her home address and asked about the sword while standing on the doorstep. She said she had only been out for a bottle of milk.
When police searched the car they found a scabbard in the boot. She then produced a toy plastic sword from inside the house, saying: "This is all it was."
Mr Ahmed Nadim (defending) said: "She appears before this court as a result of a gross error of judgement by her husband".
He added what had happened had been completely out of character, and she was unlikely to trouble the courts in future.
Mr Bukhari was remanded on bail until February 3rd for a further hearing and pre-sentence reports.

Friendship 802 short pimple rubber
802 is a classic Chinese hitting rubber, that is also capable of topspin and spin variations. To achieve topspin 2.0mm sponge works best, for just hitting, and blocking, 1.5 is fine and gives a little better control. 802 is one of the few short pips that can scrub the spin off of incoming shots yet produce significant spin of it's own.
**Used by the amazing Chinese champion Ding Song, for a devastating spin variation game, many of the top European pros fell victim to his mastery of this rubber. Also used by He Zhi Wen and Wang Zeng Yi as well as numerous other less famous players around the world.
