Thank You Bum for Luv Ya Blue
10/22/13 in NFL | HouTxFan | 5176 respect
@sonofbum "Bum is gone to Heaven-loved and will be missed by all -great Dad, Coach and Christian"
I felt silly at first, crying about the death of someone I'd never actually met, and I wondered why news of his passing was hitting me so hard. Finally I clicked on one of the links to the many YouTube videos that were being tweeted right-and-left after the news came out, and then I remembered the times a little more clearly...
With all due respect to the 2-time NBA champion Houston Rockets of the mid-90s, and to the still-in-the-cute-little-puppy-stage Texans that we so badly want to be big dawgs, I think the Luv Ya Blue era of the Houston Oilers is still the most special time in Houston sports history. Bum Phillips was a real Texas cowboy who happened to coach football, and Houston loved him and the Oilers dearly. Bum's personality was so perfect for his team, and so perfect for this town at that time, that it was a match made in heaven. He and his team were so beloved, Houston overlooked their losses to the hated Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1978 and 1979 AFC Championship Games, greeting them by the tens of thousands upon their return to Houston, late at night, two years in a row. I didn't get to go to those pep rallies in the Astrodome, but I saw them on television back then, and I watched footage again the other night. It was amazing...there was so much camaraderie, so much love.
"Winning is only half of it. Having fun is the other half." ~ Bum Phillips
Watching some of those videos the other night, I remembered a few things I hadn't really thought of in a while. My mom enjoyed watching sports more than my dad did. When I was in my last few years of high school, I noticed she was starting to get more and more animated whenever she had an Oilers game on tv on Sundays. Despite being a "cool" teenage girl who didn't want to appear too interested in sports or in anything that my mother was doing, I casually started taking longer glances at the television that was blaring some oom-pa-pa song about the Houston Oilers being #1. I noticed that everybody in the stands was as excited as my mom, practically dancing to that gosh-awful song as they were waving powder blue-and-white pompoms. Before I knew it, I was hooked on guys like Earl Campbell, Dan Pastorini, and Billy "White Shoes" Johnson, but most of all, I was hooked on the corny ol' cowboy guy, Bum Phillips. Bum was what made it all fun! How could you not watch?! And that, well that was the birth of a HouTxFan.
"There's two kinds of coaches, them that's fired, and them that's gonna be fired." ~ Bum Phillips
Sadly, for both of them really, Bum became the kind of coach that got fired when Oilers' owner Bud Adams let him go after the Oilers' 1980 wildcard playoff loss to the Oakland Raiders. While Bum was talking to a referee during a game, and not to Bud Adams, when he said...
"Now, you can't do that! If you do it, I'm telling you, you'll have more hell over it than a little bit!" ~ Bum Phillips
...he might as well have been talking to the Oilers' owner. By firing the wildly popular coach, Adams hastened his fall into persona non grata status with Houston fans. The owner, the coach, and team...they just never really recovered from the fallout of that decision. Bud Adams broke Houston's heart when he fired Bum Phillips, and he broke it again when he took the Oilers away. That sealed the two men's fate...Bum will forever be revered, and Bud will always be reviled, in Houston. Years later, during his son Wade's tenure as the head coach of some team north of Houston, Bum was asked which NFL team he rooted for, and he cemented his status in Houston lore by saying...
"You've got to understand something. I live in Goliad, but my heart's in Houston." ~ Bum Phillips
So even though the news of Bum's passing made me cry Friday night, I enjoyed the trip down memory lane. It made me think about how seamlessly Bum had kind of slipped back into the fabric of Houston football after all those years between the death of the Oilers and the birth of the Texans. It was almost as if he was our coach emeritus, Houston's coach, not the former coach of some team in Tennessee! It felt so right when he played a part in helping us host the Super Bowl in 2004, when his @sonofbum came home to Houston to coach, and when I saw pictures of him talking with Texans' players at training camp. Bum was still a part of Houston football, just like he always had been, just like he always will be, just like it was meant to be. And then I finally realized the other night, just like losing a favorite uncle, it was o.k. for me to shed a few tears about his passing. Thank you Bum, for giving me Luv Ya Blue!

My question is, why do Horde and Alliance still fight against one another when they both face the same outside threats to their survival? In the Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King, their existence is threatened by forces that transcend their differences, yet the factions are more than happy to attack each other. When will we see a unification of Horde and Alliance, and peace on Azeroth between the races?
I think they have old hatreds and grudges going on for such a long time that they are not easily forgotten, for example the dead of Cenarius in the hand of the orcs is something that the night elfs are not going to forget very soon, same goes for a human born in Stormwind, after watching the horde destroying your homeland, killing your king and even ganking on Lothar (epic battle with Doomhamer my *ss), not to speak of the thousands of years of conflicts between elfs and trolls, actually its a miracle that they actually stand together when the situation calls for it.

The Lady of Shalott, 1872, by Arthur Hughes, 1832-1915, British artist and illustrator. Here he offers a visual for Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem of the same name. This oil on canvas is in a private collection.
"Out upon the wharf they came,
Knight and burgher, lord and dame
And round the prow they read her name
The Lady of Shalott."
The Lady of Shalott was a favorite image of artists of the time. Hughes completed 750 illustrations of books during his life. He also illustrated Tennyson's Enoch Arden and Thomas Hughes's Tom Brown's School Days. The two Hughes men were not related.
Many classical writers and artists explored misty shades and shadows of the supernatural. Others chronicled myths and legends.
This is a collection of writers and artists who illustrated these dark themes.

We've been able to manage traffic nicely, and our optimizations arestarting to pay off… but many people are confused about what this is.
Panem October is not a Pottermore for the Hunger Games.(despite our love homage to their 'we crashed' screen)It is also not just a Facebook for fans of the series.The social aspect will be important to you later in the game, as there is much, much more to come.
Panem October is an alternate-reality game.Basically, we put you into the Hunger Games bookand make you feel as if you are living in the story itself.
We're redesigning the site not only because of the large amount oftraffic, but to show and explain to users what this will be likeand how the users are supposed to play and move through the game.

Israel has announced plans for nearly 700 homes in mainly Arab East Jerusalem - despite Palestinian and international demands that it freeze building there.
The US and EU criticised the move, which follows plans unveiled last month for 900 homes on occupied land in Gilo, south of Jerusalem.
Israel occupied East Jerusalem in 1967 and later annexed it, in a move not recognised internationally.
The Palestinians want to locate their future capital in East Jerusalem.
They said the plans showed Israel was "not ready for peace".

A Reformulation of the Economic Theory of Fertility
AbstractAltruistic parents choose fertility and consumption by maximizing a dynastic utility f unction. The maximization implies an arbitrage condition for consumpt ion across generations and equality between the benefit from an extra child and the child-rearing cost. These conditions imply that fertil ity in open economies depends positively on the world's long-term rea l interest rate, the degree of altruism, and the growth of child-surv ival probabilities; and negatively on the rate of technical progress and the growth rate of social security. The growth of per capita cons umption across generations depends on changes in the child-rearing co st, but not on interest rates or time preference. Copyright 1988, the President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

West Palm Beach honors supervisor who saved $1mm

David Hasselhoff Is Rushed To The Hospital
David Hasselhoff Rushed To The Hospital
David Hasselhoff was rushed to the hospital due to alcohol poisoning on Saturday (May 2) when his 16-year-old daughter, Hayley, discovered the actor unconscious and on the floor of his home in Encino, Calif.
According to RadarOnline, Hayley then called David's estranged ex-wife, actress Pamela Bach, who drove him to Cedars-Sinai for treatment.
The 56-year-old actor has been battling alcoholism for a while. This incident comes 2 years after video footage surfaced of the actor drunk and incoherent on a hotel room floor in Las Vegas.
David Hasselhoff is Shirtless
Baywatch star David Hasselhoff struts his shirtless self outside his hotel on Tuesday (March 31) in Miami, Fla. Yesterday, he and hypnotist girlfriend Kimberly Stevens attended the Alonzo Mourning retirement party at Prime 112.
His rep recently told E! that the 56-year-old actor has never had plastic surgery. "Maybe a little Botox here and there," the rep said, "but absolutely no face-lift, he hasn't had one! No work at all."
Earlier this weekend, The Hoff's buff on-screen son Jeremy Jackson was seen taking a walk on the beach in Maui, Hawaii with long-time girlfriend Heidi Freeman.
The 28-year-old former teen idol was also around the island exercising and staying fit.

KITT – I need you!
David Hasselhoff: I Did Not Abuse Ex-Wife
David Hasselhoff just released following statement to TMZ in response to the videotape of him visibly drunk, incoherent and on a hotel room floor:
"More than a year ago, I made a difficult decision, for the sake of our children and myself, to file for divorce. To this day, my ex-wife has engaged in conduct designed to punish me by repeatedly publishing false statements to the press. Despite her fabricated claims, I have, from the outset of this painful divorce, consistently taken the high road by not responding to the myriad of false allegations made against me by her out of consideration for our children. I recognize that public discussion of the issues which exist between us is not something which is in the best interests of our daughters.
But recent events have made it impossible for me to continue to remain silent. My ex-wife, and her latest attorney (who seems to share a thirst for publicity) recently suggested that I had not only been physically abusive to her, but that I was also physically abusive towards our two daughters, as well. This latest claim is not only utterly false, but it is also obscene. Our daughters are outraged by the falsity of their mother's claims and urged me to allow them to go to the press to challenge these claims. I discouraged our daughters from doing so, but I agreed that I would finally come forward and challenge these absurd claims made by their mother.
My ex-wife's actions are nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner attention from the media and to hurt me. Her claims that I ever physically abused her or our children are ludicrous. It is inexcusable that my ex-wife has perpetuated these false claims against me, without consideration for the toll her actions have taken on the girls. However, it is clear that she will resort to any means to obtain the attention of the media in order to satisfy her own perverse need for publicity, regardless of its impact on our daughters or me.
The lack of veracity of her claims have, and will continue to be borne out in the marital litigation. Unfortunately, our children have been subjected to physical and emotional abuse on numerous occasions, but it has been at the hands of their own mother, which abuse has been documented by the Court appointed experts in our marital proceedings.
While I acknowledge that I am a recovering alcoholic who must deal with my own issue on a daily basis, my ex-wife has refused to deal with her own issues, which include having tested positive for alcohol and illegal substances in response to court ordered testing. Although she has publicly denied having tested positive, proof of her drug use is part of the Court record.
I truly hope that my ex-wife will get the help that she so desperately needs for her own sake and for the sake of our children, and that in the future she will refrain from perpetuating falsehoods and selfishly compromising the well-being of our children so that they can move forward with their lives, with their privacy respected. I look forward to the day that our marital litigation is behind me, so that our children and I can move forward with our lives in peace."
David Hasselhoff: Drunk and in Denial
Footage of David Hasselhoff drunk, incoherent and on a hotel room floor in Las Vegas has surfaced.
Three months ago, Hasselhoff had his 16-year-old daughter, Taylor, record him drunk and barely able to feed himself.
In the video, Taylor begs, "Dad, look what this is doing to you. You have to stop drinking alcohol, promise me you won't drink anymore. The doctor's coming over early … if you have any alcohol in your system, you're gonna be fired (The Producers Musical) from the show."
Hasselhoff's reps recently sent out this statement: "I am a recovering alcoholic. Despite that I have been going through a painful divorce and I have recently been separated from my children due to my work, I have been successfully dealing with my issue. Unfortunately, one evening I did have a brief relapse, but part of recovery is relapse.
"Because of my honest and positive relationship with my daughters who were concerned for my well being there was a tape made that night to show me what I was like. I have seen the tape. I have learned from it and I am back on my game. I thank God for the love and concern from my daughters. The tape was never meant to become public, but got into the hands of individuals who are not worthy of mentioning, who maliciously released the tape for their own self purpose. I hope that someone else will learn from the tape, as I have."

Hello Njanja
Both can be used in the context of a location: "at" usually refers simply to the location, whereas "in" usually means "inside", e.g.
1. I'll be at the National Gallery from 9 till 5 tomorrow.
you might be inside the gallery or outside the gallery. (The context will usually clarify the intended meaning.)
2. I'll be in the pub from 9 till 5 tomorrow.
you'll be inside the pub.
3. I'll be at Lydia's house for most of tomorrow.
you might be in the garden, or inside the house, or painting Lydia's garage. (Again, context will usually clarify the meaning.)
4. I don't like leaving the dog in the house all day.
you don't like leaving the dog inside the house.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the AKG Perception P3 S by Ralph Graves Why a dynamic mic? Dynamic microphones are engineered for the rigors of live performance and life on the road. Thanks to a very simple and rugged design concept that relies on few internal parts and no electronic components, they're tough, durable, and require no outboard power source to operate. Looking to outfit your church's PA system with vocal microphones? Need to mike your lead guitarist's cabinet for a big club gig? You'll find dynamic mics to fit the bill. If, however, you're looking for a recording microphone to capture sounds in exquisite detail, consider a condenser mic instead. For great-sounding backing vocals The AKG Perception P3 S dynamic mic is an ideal choice for live performance backing vocals. This rugged mic features a metal body and wire mesh grill that holds up to rough handling. Its frequency response is tailored to the human voice, and the mic's internal windscreen keeps pops and breath noise to a minimum. The mic's on/off switch prevents extraneous noise from getting into the mix.

The family room was part of a major home renovation, and DSI worked closely on the project with the architect, designer and cabinetmaker. That meant providing precise measurements for the cabinet cavity containing the 65-inch plasma TV and for the shelf space for the front-channel loudspeakers. The lack of traditional wall space meant bookshelf speakers were concealed behind cabinet doors finished with metal mesh to allow sound flow.Read more: Family Room Weaves Stunning A/V and Architecture

Under the Big Top: And the search goes on…looking west (again) to Portland?Posted on May 7th, 2009 – 10:16 PM
By Jerry Zgoda
Just a day after I believed the Wolves had narrowed their search to former Indiana GM David Kahn, Glen Taylor and Rob Moor apparently continue it anew with a candidate in town this week.
I heard it was a candidate from within the Northwest division, possibly Portland assistant GM Tom Penn, the Blazers' salary-capologist.
The first guy I thought of was Rex Chapman in Denver, who was with the organization for a brief time about three years ago. But it's probably not him because he was at Nuggets practice today and I'm guessing the guy was in town today.
Sorry, but I don't think it's Bill Simmons, either.
What seems certain is this will go into the weekend. I'm heading off tomorrow morning on a week's vacation that I thought I was safe in planning more than three weeks after the season end. Now I'm thinking there's an outside chance I may still get to cover the new GM/VP hire after I return May 15.
I heard this evening Taylor and Moor are cooling on one candidate the more they learn about him. Sure sounds to me like that could be Kahn, who without a doubt the owner and team CEO were very serious about.
Randy Pfund has remained quiet since he called me back Saturday and I haven't heard that he's out so I'd say he's still a possibility.
Penn, like Kahn, seems mostly like a finance/salary-cap guy, which makes it look like Taylor is looking for a guy like that to complement Fred Hoiberg's scouting eye. Unlike Kahn, he's been in the league for the last nine years, including two with the up-and-coming Blazers.
He worked for Jerry West for five of his eight years in Memphis.
If he's the hire, though, talk about culture shock, going from Blazers owner Paul Allen to Taylor.
Here's a Q and A interview with him from last fall on cap and other matters.
Brian Stensaas will be monitoring the situation while I'm gone and will post on the blog as things develop. I might weigh in if I get chance as this progresses.

"I loved this postcard and it was delivered really quickly. The design and paper quality was perfect and would hold up to being throwin in the mail."
"These cards are perfect and I would order them again. They are simple, yet elegant. And they are a good size to fit a decent note in."
"I wanted these to coordinate with contact cards I had already ordered, and asked the design staff to alter the colors of the text, to de-emphasize my necessary, but seldom used first name. Imagine my surprise when I received a phone call (!) from the designer to discuss my needs! The note/thank you cards came in exactly as I had hoped, and I'm now about to order more as hostess gifts. The quality of the paper, and the print work is beyond reproach. As for those - and I've seen a few - who complained about the size of the product: it's noted in the description! If in doubt, cut a piece of paper to those dimensions in order to see what you're ordering :) Thank you Tiny Prints for superior quality and service. You have a customer for life!"
"I am a 'heart' lover and these cards are not only cute, but the perfect size for thank you notes. The back of the card also has a heart saying "very much"."
"these are great simple cards, I love the thank you written inside the heart and that you can customize it with your name or family name at the bottom."

Love And The Outcome-King Of My Heart
Listen Now
On Air: Ginee Scott
Category: Faith
Say "No", even to "good" things. We can spend our lives doing good things but never develop the few things that God really intended for us. Sometimes we can get in the way of having God work in others lives when we are always carrying the load. Don't use this as an excuse, just be sensitive to the fact that "No" is an acceptable answer sometimes.
A few years ago, I have made it a priority to start my day with a simple prayer before stepping out of bed, 'Lord, this day I serve you, we can do this together!' This allows for open conversation throughout the day in all the obstacles and challenges I face. I have seen an amazing difference in my daily routines and multi-tasking agenda. I also see a difference in my day and my mood when I forget to invite Him into my day... It's that simple.HE really IS Good ALL the time.
On the inside of my front door, I have a hand-written sign that says, "Praise God 7 ways". It doesn't matter what my mood is, or how bad my problems seem, by the time I've come up with seven different praises I'm so grateful that I'm able to serve Him and for His many blessings that I have a smile on my face and a prayer in my heart and I know He's right there with me, whatever may come. A perfect way to start every day.
"No Fret" I really rely on God for all that he does and gives. He never gives me more then I can handle (even when I think it's enough already). God is Good all the time.

Welcome to Railfuture
Railfuture have launched a campaign to reduce the impact on passengers when rail services are disrupted. We all know rail disruption happens, but how it is handled remains the number one concern of rail passengers. Most passengers will have their horror stories about journeys that went wrong, but they will also have examples of where it went well and the rail industry must learn from that experience. We want to spread the message of good practice on the railways and demand improvements for our passengers.
We are seeking input from across the rail industry and from rail passengers. Please log your experiences here.
Photo competitionOur Finance Director has spiced up the competition by offering £50 for each photo which we use for a postcard!
Eurostar Travel SurveyOur survey of travel using Eurostar services is now open. If you travel by Eurostar, please help us to understand why people use Eurostar, how they book their ticket and their experience of travel on board and onward connections, so that we can campaign for improved services. The survey is open to everyone, not just Railfuture members. It will run for a full year in order that we can get the full picture of who uses Eurostar and why.

Satellites Throwies
During winter break I watched "Journey to the Edge of the Universe" which is an entire film of what the title implies. With the project "Gulfimination" I wanted to revisit my interest in satellites and make satellite throwies. It turns out that hours went by and I became submerged in making the tiny mock satellites. The materials I used are very basic and easy to find. There is no question this is by far one of the most simple and entertaining projects out there. I want to get all of my friends on this.
Materials Used: Foam core, bristol board, 2032 coin cell batteries, LED, duck tape, SUPER magnets
Tools: pens, markers, x-actos.

The good news: A 31-year-old man Georgia got to have a threesome. The bad news: It killed him. The good news: It won him $3 million. The bad news: It's not clear who gets the money. Confused yet? Just in case you still had any doubts whatsoever that our jury system can be a tad, shall we say, ASININE, at times, here comes the case of the young husband and father of two who had a threesome with a friend (either male or female depending on which report you believe) and a woman -- who wasn't his wife. He then died of a heart attack from all the excitement. So his estate sued his cardiologist for not properly warning him about the dangers of threesomes. Of course, all of this could have been avoided if the guy had read just one of those articles about how cheating on your wife can kill you.
Okay, we don't know if the guy was cheating. Maybe the wife was all for her husband's threesome with two people who weren't her. It happens. Anyway, the guy, William Martinez, died a day before he was due to have a heart stress test. He was set to have the test because of chest and arm pain he'd had the week before. The doctor he saw set up the test, but failed to warn him not to participate in any orgies before his next appointment. The doc probably assumed the guy would take it easy for a least a week. Watch some TV. Spend some time with the kids. Have a leisurely dinner with the wife. But nooooooo. Dude had a very active sex life and wasn't about to let a few chest pains get in the way of his threesome. Can you blame him?
Anyway, a jury agreed that the guy should have been warned by his doctor, because they awarded his estate the 3 million buckaroos. It's not clear yet who gets the money, but since it is his estate that gets the award, that would be his wife and kids unless he has a will saying otherwise.
Let this be a lesson to us all: No threesomes if you're due for a heart stress test! Although I guess this could be a really sneaky way of making your beneficiaries rich -- provided you're ready to go out with a smile on.
Do you think doctors should warn you about the stress of threesomes?

Hmmmm...pretty sure it's standard procedure to tell someone suspected of having a heart condition to take it easy until the tests can confirm/deny the condition to take it easy until the test. Just how on earth did they lawyers "prove" the doctor did not specify that sex was off the schedule? Did he bother to tell his doctor that he had a very active robust sex life? Funny how not being completely 100% honest with your doctor can come back and bite you in the @ss!
Wow - that's all I can say!! Wow
Ugh, this type of thing makes me sick. Who is the person beind the lawsuit anyways? His wife? Seems like they're a couple of stand up people, I'm so glad they have kids, I'm sure they will be every bit the benefit to society that their parents have been.
How do they know he wasn't warned? He's dead - he can't testify.
Any idiot knows if you're having chest pains you don't exert yourself.
This is why aspirin costs $6 in the hospital.
I'm really not sure what my response would be if a dr told me not to have any 3somes, errr thanks maybe??
pretty big assumption for a dr to have to make
What the hell happened to common sense. He killed his own dumb ass self!

As a fitting posting for April 1, here's a video that I put together to commemorate Marten Mickos, CEO of MySQL who is leaving Sun today. It was my pleasure to work with Marten for more than five years at MySQL. He was truly a unique CEO; he followed Drucker's rules and came up with new innovative ideas that we put into action. He was also not afraid to make the tough business decisions that come with being CEO.
I originally prepared this video to be shown at Marten's going-away party since I was out of town with the OSGR meeting in Utah. So be warned, there's a bit of "inside baseball" here.
Thanks to all those folks at OSBC that I was able to get on camera wearing dolphin noses. Special kudos to Matt for loaning me his Mac for a late-night editing session; iMovie is a killer app for video, by the way.

Anole by Drew Ready on Flickr.
Green Anole, American anole, Red-throated anole Lizard (Anolis carolinensis)
The Carolina anole (Anolis carolinensis) is an arboreal lizard found primarily in the southeastern United States and some Caribbean islands. Common synonyms include the green anole, American anole and red-throated anole. It is sometimes referred to as the American chameleon due to its color-changing abilities; however, the Anole is not a true chameleon.
This species is native to North America, where it is found mainly in the southeastern parts of the continent. Anoles are most abundant on the Atlantic Coastal Plains in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Georgia, and the Gulf Coastal Plain in Texas. The species has been introduced into Hawaii.
Anoles are territorial. In fact some have even been witnessed fighting their own reflection in mirrored glass. Stress in an anole can be identified by several symptoms. These symptoms include a constant shade of brown and a persistent black semicircle behind their eyes and chronic lethargy. In a group of one male and several females some aggressive chasing may occur, but the encounters are short lived and less violent than between males.
During shedding an anole may use its mouth to pull the old skin off and will usually eat it. In addition to discarding their tails, anoles will attempt to bite perceived predators if cornered, which can be somewhat painful, but does not cause much harm other than some scratching of the bite area caused by the lizard's teeth.
We took care of anoles in 5th grade :)
i love these guys, they are every where here

The King's Deception by Steve Berry - Blog Tour and Book Review
About the Book:
Cotton Malone is back! Steve Berry's new international adventure blends gripping contemporary political intrigue, Tudor treachery, and high-octane thrills into one riveting novel of suspense.
Cotton Malone and his fifteen-year-old son, Gary, are headed to Europe. As a favor to his former boss at the Justice Department, Malone agrees to escort a teenage fugitive back to England. But after he is greeted at gunpoint in London, both the fugitive and Gary disappear, and Malone learns that he's stumbled into a high-stakes diplomatic showdown—an international incident fueled by geopolitical gamesmanship and shocking Tudor secrets.
At its heart is the Libyan terrorist convicted of bombing Pan Am Flight 103, who is set to be released by Scottish authorities for "humanitarian reasons." An outraged American government objects, but nothing can persuade the British to intervene.
Except, perhaps, Operation King's Deception.
Run by the CIA, the operation aims to solve a centuries-old mystery, one that could rock Great Britain to its royal foundations.
Blake Antrim, the CIA operative in charge of King's Deception, is hunting for the spark that could rekindle a most dangerous fire, the one thing that every Irish national has sought for generations: a legal reason why the English must leave Northern Ireland. The answer is a long-buried secret that calls into question the legitimacy of the entire forty-five-year reign of Elizabeth I, the last Tudor monarch, who completed the conquest of Ireland and seized much of its land. But Antrim also has a more personal agenda, a twisted game of revenge in which Gary is a pawn. With assassins, traitors, spies, and dangerous disciples of a secret society closing in, Malone is caught in a lethal bind. To save Gary he must play one treacherous player against another—and only by uncovering the incredible truth can he hope to prevent the shattering consequences of the King's Deception.
About the Author:
Steve Berry is the New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author of The King's Deception, The Columbus Affair, The Jefferson Key, The Emperor's Tomb, The Paris Vendetta, The Charlemagne Pursuit, The Venetian Betrayal, The Alexandria Link, The Templar Legacy, The Third Secret, The Romanov Prophecy, and The Amber Room. His books have been translated into 40 languages with more than 15,000,000 printed copies in 51 countries.
History lies at the heart of every Steve Berry novel. It's this passion, one he shares with his wife, Elizabeth, that led them to create History Matters, a foundation dedicated to historic preservation. Since 2009 Steve and Elizabeth have traveled across the country to save endangered historic treasures, raising money via lectures, receptions, galas, luncheons, dinners, and their popular writers' workshops. To date, nearly 2,000 students have attended those workshops. In 2012 their work was recognized by the American Library Association, which named Steve the first spokesman for National Preservation Week. He was also appointed by the Smithsonian Board of Regents to serve on the Smithsonian Libraries Advisory Board to help promote and support the libraries in their mission to provide information in all forms to scientists, curators, scholars, students and the public at large. He was named Georgia Author of the Year (2005) and has received the Royden B. Davis Distinguished Author Award and the 2013 Writers for Writers Award bestowed by Poets & Writers.
Steve Berry was born and raised in Georgia, graduating from the Walter F. George School of Law at Mercer University. He was a trial lawyer for 30 years and held elective office for 14 of those years. He is a founding member of International Thriller Writers—a group of more than 2,000 thriller writers from around the world—and served three years as its co-president.

My Opinion:
I must admit to enjoying a suspense/thriller every once and again and it there is a bit of the historical within it all the better! This is not my first book by Steve Berry and I doubt it will be my last - he does know how to keep the pages turning. This time he takes on the big guns though, the Tudors. They are mighty popular these days with readers who might not have shown interest in the past but with the advent of the cable series and more books than a person can possibly read the Tudors are definitely a dynasty quite au courant.
I'm sharing no spoilers if I tell you that the plot involves the possibility that Queen Elizabeth I might have been a man! Go and google the Bisley Boy, I'll wait. It gives you the basics.
The US wants Britain to do something it does not seem likely to do so it wants proof of Queen Elizabeth's true sex as leverage. There is also a search for the missing treasure of King Henry VII. They send in CIA agent Blake Antrim to dig up the proof but of course many in England, including a secret society, do not want said info found or released. Blake has issues to settle with Berry's hero Cotton Malone so he arranges for Malone and his son, Gary to bring a witness to England. It all breaks loose from there and graves are robbed, London's underwater rivers are discussed (ad nauseum) and many shots are fired as Cottom Malone races to keep England's secrets safe and save his son from evil kidnappers.
The plot does move along with short chapters ending in cliff hangers. It is a fast paced read with not a heck of a lot of substance but that is what a beach read is all about. The bad guys are B.A.D. and the good guys are G.O.O.D. and there is not much in between. The book did keep me turning the pages and I enjoyed the sections that took place back in Tudor times. Do I believe that Elizabeth I was a man? Well, that is neither here nor there but no, I don't. It didn't take away from my enjoying a diverting, not have to think too much book perfect for taking my mind off of whatever else is going on in the world.

Sounds fascinating. I would like to give this one a try.ReplyDelete
I was introduced to Steve Berry's worlds of historically based thrillers last year, listening to an Elaine Charles interview on the Book Report radio show, which is why I was surprised to see that yet again Steve Berry in the interview line-up for this weekend's shows on WIOD. Only then did I learn about 'The King's deceit'...and shortly thereafter the 'Bisley boy'. Berry is quoted as saying that the validity of the rumor is quite plausible, and believable. Naturally being a writer of fiction this would agree with him. I'm quite likely to miss this upcoming interview, but I know I can catch it whenever afterwards as the show has a nice archived section on it's web site. bookreportradio dotcom - enjoy!ReplyDelete

The High Bridge area has been a popular fishing spot for all of the 40-plus years I have been plying the waters of Volusia County. It draws anglers from Flagler and Palm Coast as well as points south. The bridge itself has long been known as a great snook and trout hole.
From time to time the bite there turns on and it becomes so crowded it is difficult to find a place to cast. Many times I have gone there to launch my boat only to see all of the people fishing from the bridge in the dark of the morning and know that something is going on.
Even with all of the snook and sea trout action there the High Bridge area is still much better known for the superior red fishing that exists on the huge nearby mud flats. On an average day boat after boat will launch to hunt finger mullet and then go deep into the flats to the west.
From the second creek south of the bridge you must pass the famous crossroads that is called the "Toilet Bowl." That is a most unusual place where seven streams converge. There you will find a deep hole that is only about 40 feet square. The tide there moves swiftly since that is one of the few places that drains hundreds of acres of shallow lakes.
Almost always, there is a big eddy right at the crossroads and that eddy traps lots of flotsam. Most of it is natural materials like reeds and branches, but there is usually a few beer cans and plastic bottles swirling in the mix. That is the reason for the toilet bowl name. It is almost always a big swirling mess of trapped junk that appears headed down the sewer, but somehow never does.
Not long ago, I took my Polar up to that area to look for redfish. Those of you who read these lines regularly know that catching more reds was my new year's fishing resolution. One thing is for certain when I come to the toilet bowl, I have to stop and throw a line in. Down through the years I have caught some amazing trout and snook there. I don't expect to catch many big red drum in it, but I have often caught some of the smaller keepers.
On this day, I pulled up and tied off to a tree and began to cast my Mirro Lure. In a place that sees so much boat traffic you need to be early before the morning redfish rush begins. Sometimes being an insomniac pays off. All alone on the water as the sun came up on a cold morning, I soon switched to my jig. Right away, I began picking up small trout in the 13- and 14-inch range, and within a few minutes, I had a nice 17-inch fish.
The trout were schooled up in the 20-feet deep water, and they were hungry. As I tried to avoid the swirling junk on top, my chartreuse jig was getting a workout on the bottom. The small ones continued to bite and then I landed a 16- inch keeper.
As it usually happens, the trout soon tired of the chartreuse and the lack of hits told me to switch to the Peppermint Crunch. Both shrimp tails are the product of the new Edgewater company, Grandslam Baits. Now I was back in business and the trout were nailing my offerings once more. Pretty soon a boat came roaring through to head for the red fish flats, but saw me landing another 17-inch fish and, of course, that boat stopped and began to fish.
You may know that I am not a fan of cell phones or any other type of communication while I am fishing. The boater that stopped began calling his buddies and soon I was surrounded.
This is very close quarters for four boats, but that is how it went. As it turned out, I had the only bait that would work and with few exceptions I was the only one catching anything, and it didn't stop until I had landed 16 sea trout. Don't you love when that happens?
Anyway, I finally did share a few lures and told the other guys to get down to Granada Bait and Tackle to pick up a supply of the Dan Smith Special Edition jig tails. Even if it is a toilet bowl, you can't just throw anything in there.
