There are many things to think about when one decides to own a boat. Of course there is the process of deciding what type of boat one wants to purchase, taking the time to research features they would like to have for their boat, physically looking and test driving potential boats, and agreeing on the financing terms for the boat loan. Then there is where to keep the boat during season, and where to properly lay-up the boat when stored. And then comes all of the new things to learn about how to care for and use all the great features of their new boat.
There is one important area that is often overlooked initially when one decides to purchase a boat. Yes, it is boat insurance! Insurance is usually the last thing on one's mind when they decide to purchase a boat. And, since it is often an afterthought, it is usually the area that one quickly tries to take care of so they can get back to the fun part of owning a new boat. But, if one wants that fun to stay fun, they will want to make sure they take a little extra time to get a good boat insurance policy. Getting good boat insurance can keep one protected adequately and obtaining adequate protection and knowing one is covered well makes boating a lot more fun in the long run.
Starting the boating insurance process does not have to be difficult and if one knows what to expect it can make the process quicker and easier. The process of obtaining boat insurance, like any insurance, first starts with filling out the boat insurance application.
Knowing what to expect on the boat insurance application can make the process much quicker and smoother. Here are some of the most common items that one may encounter when filling out their boat insurance application:
Basic Customer Information: This would be the basic information one would expect on most insurance applications. These items include the customer's name, address, phone number, and so on. A customer may also be asked about their car driver's license and their car driving record such as their accident history and explanation of the accidents.
Boat Information: The insurance company will want to know about the boat that one wants to insure. The information to be requested on the boat insurance application may include: type of boat (pleasure, fishing, sail) along with the year, make, model, and value. Other specific information may be requested such as the length, number of engines, horsepower, type of engine, safety equipment onboard, along with any modifications that the boat has had. The boat insurance company will also probably request where the boat will be stored and names of everyone that will be operating the boat.
Boat Insurance Coverage Information: This is a section that the boat insurance applicant can express what types of coverage and amounts they are interested in. A new boat owner should research or discuss with their insurance agent any items in this area that they are unsure of to make sure they have their boat adequately covered for their particular needs. Coverage questions may include if one wants actual cash value, agreed value or total replacement coverage if there is a complete loss. Also, a new boat owner will need to choose what deductibles they want and how much bodily injury and property damage coverage they need. Other coverage choices may include liability limits, medical payments and coverage for fishing equipment and personal items.
Custom Coverages: Do you have a unique situation that you would like coverage on? Most insurance applications usually only provide the basic information to obtain an insurance quote. However, to best accommodate those applicants who have special needs (extended trip navigation, multi-owned vessel, charter fleet, scheduled personal property, etc), most companies will have an open notes section for the applicant to fill in. It is wise to be as detailed as possible when describing your situation in this field.
Getting the boat insurance application filled out completely and knowing what coverage one wants and needs can keep boating fun and worry free. One should always discuss and regularly review any questions about their boat insurance application and policy with their insurance agent to make sure their coverage stays adequate for their needs.

text: SoapDope Report post Posted January 14, 2013 What are some of the most laugh out loud or outrageous moments and lines you remember from your favorites soaps ? A few of mine are: When David Kimble on Y&R was in the hospital faking paralysis and Jill and Katherine were in the room. Jill started shrieking I think he's faking and reaches under the covers and grabs his crank while Kay is yelling what are you doing. David doesn't flinch, but then we hear inside his head and he's screaming bloody murder. Katherine is having breakfast and Jill comes barging in and they start to argue, Kay slams Jill's rump in a plate of fresh berries and it's smeared all ver her pink suit. Jill crashes a New Years Eve party at Kay's and starts yelling she threw the party to upstage her own party plans. I think she brought her catering crew in to replace everything and Kay picks up a stuffed tomato going to hit her when Rex stops her. Jill had a line that went something like " Now if you will excuse me, I have a distended bladder I need to attend to" Lauren and Tracy at excercise class and Lauren picking up a Zagnut or some kind of candy bar and waving it Tracy saying " You know you want it". When Brad and Nikki were going to be married Jack said " Nikki Reed Foster Bancroft Newman Abbott Carlton. In the late 80's when Ashley had her mental break down. She was admitted to a mental hospital as Jane Doe. When she was put in the room and met her new room mates, they were the same 3 women that terrorized Leslie Brooks years earlier. Ruth stole Ashley's food and almost starved her to death, while the other one painted Ashley's nails with a coloring pencil. The third woman played with dolls and called them her babies. Later after Ashley recovered and fell in love with Dr. Steven Lassiter, Leanna Love a former patient came after her and tried to poison her with a tainted hawaiian lei.

10 Best Foods for Deep Fryers
Deep fryers can be a convenient way to cook many types of food. Mid-week meals like schnitzel and battered fish or chicken are a great way to get dinner on the table as quick as possible. Some of these ideas for the best foods to deep fry will add some variety to your standard menu.
1. Fruit
I know when one is deep frying, one is not trying to eat the most healthy meal possible, so why then are people deep frying fruit? Why? Because it tastes good. Bananas, apples and pineapples make the most wonderful dessert or snack when dipped in batter and deep fried to perfection.
2. Cheese
The Belgians serve cheese balls on their menus, served with tomato concasse. The French have Camembert, crumbed and fried for a creamy, cheesy snack. In the US they like to fry up cheese curds or Mozzarella. Cheese can be crumbed or battered, and can be served with any tomato style sauce, or perhaps a nice chutney.
3. Potatoes
Yes, I think we all know where this is going. Chips, fries, pommes frittes, they are delicious no matter what you call them. People each have their own methods to produce the perfect chip, such as pre-boiling the potato, double frying or beer battered. Chips can be seasoned with anything from plain salt, to chicken salt or spicy salt, or how about a lovely seasoning of paprika, salt and just a little sugar.
4. Chicken
Chicken can be battered as in classic southern fried chicken, or it can be crumbed like the European family favourite, schnitzel. To make the perfect fried chicken is a quest many are on, and many have succeeded. Some prefer to cook the bird in a high pressure cooker first up, to retain maximum moisture and prevent dryness. Some like to fry their chicken in bacon fat or lard to ensure the best flavour possible. Some swear it's the perfect blend of herbs and spices.
5. Ice Cream
We have all come across this unusual dessert at our local Chinese restaurant but I'm not sure if trying this at home is such a good idea. But with a little practice, a really cold freezer and plenty of clean oil, fried ice cream is a tasty dessert too good to leave to the restaurants.
6. Doughnuts
Whether you prefer yours dusted lightly in cinnamon and sugar or iced with a sweet slick of colour, stuffed with mock cream and iced or dipped in pineapple glaze, there is a doughnut to please everyone. If you don't have the means to make the world's holiest dessert, perhaps try making doughnut holes.
7. Fritters
Fritters are the little morsels of tasty food that go around at a dinner party. You can have blue cheese and apple fritters, zucchini and feta fritters, sweet corn and bacon or cheese and mushroom fritters. The limit is only your imagination!
8. Onion Rings
This is a classic restaurant entrée that is so easy to make in your own home. All you have to do is cut and onion, batter or crumb and deep fry to perfection.
9. Tempura
Using a light Japanese batter, you can deep fry vegetables such pumpkin, snow peas and zucchini or go straight to the main and go with prawns. The light, crunchy batter of tempura is best served with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce.
10. Seafood
Prawns, scallops, yabbi, oyster, fish, squid and octopus are simply sensational when battered or crumbed and thrown in the deep fryer. The key is not to over cook, as seafood, as with anything can become dry or chewy if fried for too long. Serve with tartar sauce or seafood sauce, lemon juice or plum sauce.
So you thought you could live with out the deep fryer ever making an appearance in your kitchen appliances cupboard? Think again, after reading this list of top ten foods to deep fry, you will be running out to buy one today.

In Pakistan, AKU's School of Nursing and Midwifery has been a national leader for more than 30 years and has played a key role in improving the reputation and practice of the nursing profession.
Ours was the first nursing school in Pakistan to be affiliated with a university, the first to offer a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and the first to offer a Master of Science in Nursing.
The School's impact on the development of nursing in Pakistan has been remarkable. Its curriculum has served as a template for the national nursing curriculum and its focus on community health has inspired other schools to follow its example.
In 2001, the University began offering nursing degree programmes in East Africa, and has since educated 2,100 nurses in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
In East Africa and Pakistan, AKU-educated nurses act as change agents and leaders by providing outstanding care and by helping to improving the quality of care provided by other nurses. Our alumni lead nursing schools, serve as hospital head nurses and helm professional organizations.
An external review of the School's first 25 years conducted by an international panel of nursing leaders reported that "the performance of the graduates in moving the nursing profession forward within Pakistan and internationally is impressive. Further, its role in the development of women within Pakistan and the Islamic context is incomparable and exceedingly important. In just over 25 years, it has demonstrated immense development, which will ensure that it will hold an important place in the history of the nursing profession."
In 2013, the School recorded its latest first when it launched the first Bachelor of Science in Midwifery degree programme in Pakistan.

Fuel supplier BP announced today that it has ended its licensing agreement with Epic Aviation, its exclusive North American licensee for the Air BP brand, which distributes fuel to approximately 350 FBOs in North America. According to the announcement, BP intends to enter the U.S. general aviation business as a direct fuel supplier to FBOs. "With today's announcement we are [expanding] our business by applying the same direct approach to our relationships with general aviation customers that we have taken with commercial customers," said David Wade, Air BP's vice president for North America. At press time, Air BP was not able to share additional details with AIN, including how many of the 350 FBOs will remain under its brand.
As a result of the announcement, Epic said it will continue to source its fuel from multiple suppliers, including BP, and will immediately begin the rebranding of its dealer network to its own Epic Aviation brand. Steve McCullough, Epic's senior vice president of business development and strategy, described the process as simply a change in signs and decals. "To the FBO there will be no disruption and there will be no changes in their supply, the people or the programs," he told AIN. "All of the training and value added that they've received from Epic in the past through the Air BP brand will remain the same." The BP move stands in contrast to last summer's announcement that ExxonMobil would dissolve its Avitat network of FBOs and exit the general aviation fuel business in the U.S.

It has another advantage, too, which is that copy_relation_data() is used ONLY by ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE. So if I stick to patching that function, that's the only thing I can possibly break, whereas log_newpage() is used in a bunch of other places. I don't think either fix is going to break anything at all, but considering that this is going to need back-patching, I'd rather be conservative. Speaking of back-patching, the subject line describes this as an 8.3+ problem, but it looks to me like this goes all the way back to 8.0. The code is a little different in 8.2 and prior, but ISTM it's vulnerable to the same issue. Don't we need a modified version of this patch for the 8.0 - 8.2 branches? -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company

London (Jul. 5)
The Board of Deputies of British Jews, leading Jewish representative body in England, at its annual meeting last night voted to discontinue its agreement with the Anglo-Jewish Association, which was founded in 1871 to obtain protection for oppressed Jews in Eastern Europe, and to reorganize the Joint Foreign Committee which was set up in 1878, with seven representatives of the Board of Deputies and three from the Anglo-Jewish Association as its membership.
The decision to break the 65-year old agreement came as a result of a demand introduced by the Zionist members of the Board. It was adopted after lengthy discussions by 154 votes to 148. Those opposing the break denied the Zionist charge that the Anglo-Jewish Association had adopted an "isolationist" policy with regard to Palestine and that the Joint Foreign Committee in its present form has been fighting the proposal that a Jewish army be established in Palestine. Those advocating the break argued that the Anglo-Jewish Association was nothing but a small semi-philanthropic body.
Leonard Stein and Leonard G. Montefiore who were among the opponents of the break appealed to the meeting to take into consideration the fact that severance of the agreement may make a bad impression upon the British Government as well as on the foreign governments before whom Jewish delegations appear in behalf of British Jewry. After voting to break the agreement, the meeting of the Board adopted a motion offered by the Zionist leader L. Bakstansky, providing for the election of a Foreign Affairs Committee of fifteen members which is to be presided over by Prof. Selig Brodetsky who was re-elected president of the Board.

Jonathan , it would seem that only some movies build an audience over time. Check out the Annie Hall entry at imdb.com: $38 million is pathetic .
(Granted, Allen may be an exception to all rules: To date, Hannah and Her Sisters , one of the most overrated films, never mind Woody Allen films, of all time who talks like that? is his biggest grosser , at a paltry $40 million.)
If you look at a list of Best Picture winners , though, most have been money makers. The art-house film seen by only New York and L.A. types has been the exception. The reason No Country for All Men has done as poorly as it has, given all the hype, is that it, too, is vastly overrated. It has all the dramatic power of a broken hip. Barden's Boris Karloff impression was as amusing as it was threatening, and the distancing effect the Coens' have been praised for, as if it were intended to express the the quotidian nature of crime in the 1980s, was merely dull. I don't think audiences were put off by the violence and the matter of fact, almost philosophically detached way in which it was expressed, but because everyone in the film seemed bored by it.
So I think this year's selection of less-than-blockbuster selections for Best Picture ( Juno 's being the exception) is an aberration.

While the teacher unions of Oakland, California are enjoying the Occupy protests, just down the road in the Alameda school district, the teachers union has been busy working on behalf of its top priority.
Surprise, surprise – students are not at the top of the union concern list.
It seems the district was in the rare position of having $1.1 million left over from last year's budget.
Alameda school board members, being the student advocates they are, voted 4-1 on Oct. 25 to use the money to purchase textbooks, fund programs aimed at boosting math, reading and writing skills, pay for after-school programs at two underperforming schools and establish a program designed to encourage parents to be more involved in their kids' education.
That certainly sounds like a reasonable use of school funds, particularly during a period of economic distress and lackluster student performance.
But the Alameda Education Association, the district's teachers union, objects to that plan. Union leaders want the money spent on bonuses for teachers.
School board members say they will take care of the teachers in the next round of contract negotiations, which are scheduled to begin in January. But that's not good enough for the union.
"It's a little bit insulting, and I think teachers – that's how we're feeling," union president Gary Harris told MercuryNews.com. "We want this to be, we're all on the same side working together. They're creating two sides here, and that's unfortunate."
Hold on. This is a public school, operated for the benefit of students, right? Student needs should be the first priority, right? Shouldn't everyone in education be on the students' side?
Oh, that's right. We're dealing with teachers unions here. Let us never forget the famous quote from Albert Shanker, former president of the American Federation of Teachers, who candidly said, "When schoolchildren start paying union dues, that's when I'll start representing the interests of schoolchildren."
Shanker is dead, but his philosophy is obviously alive and well within the teachers union movement.

I thought being around Texans fans at a bar was cool but being at the game and the tailgate area is just something I can NOT describe!! The atmosphere is just so much different at the tailgate than at a sports bar! I entered the entrance before proceeding to walk around the lot, I had to use the restroom, which stunk so bad, but while standing in line, I was talking to a stranger who invited me to come over to his area. I was greeted with open arms, great food, great friends, great music, etc.! Is Blue Lot always the lot to be at?!? It seems like it was a lot more lively than Orange Lot!! I just wanted to share my first experience with you all! I will never forget my experience this last Sunday and will always carry it with me forever.

Which Chairs Would You Choose?

- White Lace and Promises said...
Oh wow! Hard decision! I like the way the black chair continue to black wall decor, but I love, always love the lighter scheme. The chairs with the blue look like they work better with that corner. I guess it's where you are looking from. Either would definitely work. I say switch them out from time to time.
- June 16, 2014 at 1:43 PM
- Rita C. said...
One combo you didn't show us would be to do every other chair dark, light, lol - jk. I love them both - one for grounded continuity, the other for adding an airy feeling. Maybe a seasonal switch, even though FL never feels like anything but summer, would give the feel of the seasons.

I understand that the black chairs work with the black cabinet but I love the lighter chairs. I like how the black cabinet pops with the buffalo checked chairs and becomes a focal point.
- June 16, 2014 at 2:16 PM
- Michele @ The Nest at Finch Rest said...
I do like them both very much and initially my response was an emphatic lighter ones! BUT once I saw that awesome black hutch on back wall - go with the black chairs...or paint that black hutch lighter to match the plaid.........so stick to black with black or lighter and lighten up the hutch.
Always have loved your tastes.
- June 16, 2014 at 2:45 PM
- Poppy said...
Hi Sherry,
Ah, those beautiful blue and white buffalo check chairs are such a fine and understated complement to the pretty plate wall and I think lighten up the atmosphere, sweetening it with charm.
- June 16, 2014 at 3:05 PM
- Debra said...
I like the lighter colored chairs. A lot. What a dilemma!
- June 16, 2014 at 3:18 PM
- At Rivercrest Cottage said...
quandary. I like the buffalo check and style of the chair with the table, but like the different color of the others. Maybe you might paint the chairs or the table a different color as they might be too matchy-matchy??? I'll bet you didn't want to hear that. :-)
- June 16, 2014 at 3:39 PM
- Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...
I like the white chairs with the table, but I think that's only because they are white, Sherry. I like the casualness of the armless darker chairs. Would you consider painting them white or are you planning on painting the table? Sometimes I leave something in place for a few days to see if I like it.
- June 16, 2014 at 4:07 PM
- Janette - The2Seasons said...
Buffalo check for sure!
- June 16, 2014 at 4:08 PM
- Hartwood Roses said...
I like the lighter chairs ... the table disappears when you put it with the dark chairs. A rug on the floor may help with this ... but you didn't ask about a rug now did you. :)
- June 16, 2014 at 4:28 PM
- Sheila said...
Well, each of us have different tastes and styles but I think the buffalo check chairs work best. Can't wait to see more of your new house.
- June 16, 2014 at 5:28 PM
- Sheila said...
Another suggestion is that you could use a buffalo check chair on each end and two black ones on each side of the table. Wonder how that would look?
- June 16, 2014 at 5:30 PM
- Mari said...
I loveeeee the buffalo check chairs, the fabric is gorgeous..
Hope you keep them with your pretty table they go together beautifully ;-)
- June 16, 2014 at 5:57 PM
- Rebecca said...
Hmmmmmm. I guess I'd sit on them (and let family sit on them) and see if one or the other styles is more comfortable. You can always paint them, right?
Personally, I kind of like the dark ones.....
- June 16, 2014 at 6:00 PM
Love the lighter chairs and the pretty checked fabric! Michele

Hi Sherry,
Definitely, hands down...the buffalo check, lighter chairs.

I like the lighter chairs, and would probably paint the hutch to match the table.

Go with the Buffalo Check for sure Sherry!

I love the buffalo check chairs with your new table! The black chairs with the light table looked a little too jarring. But I could see the other chairs working if you painted them. I think you need to consider the comfort of each chair.
- June 16, 2014 at 9:08 PM
- Jennifer Schmitz said...
I really like both but with your décor I prefer the fabric/frenchy chairs with the buffalo checks.
- June 16, 2014 at 11:00 PM
- At The Picket Fence said...
They're both beautiful so this is a good problem to have Sherry! But I think my favorite is the buffalo check! :-)

- The Polka Dot Closet said...
I am going to say the light chairs....Now I am going to go back and see if I am in the majority or minority because I am a lighter shabbier loving girl but, that doesn't mean I am in the majority! lol

Oh I think the checked seated chairs are the prettiest and they pick up the blue from your dishes
- June 16, 2014 at 11:16 PM
- Yvonne @ StoneGable said...
Sherry, that table looks great! What a find!!! I love the buffalo check chairs. They don't overpower the table and the fabric is sensational!!! Go with the buffalo!
- June 16, 2014 at 11:20 PM

I love the light chairs but either will be just lovely. It is fun to have options, isn't it? Looking forward to seeing what you pick- xo Diana

The lighter chairs with the check upholstery work better. Not liking the black at all, too dark, too bold.
- June 17, 2014 at 1:17 AM
- Pamela Bolton said...
Oh, such a problem, better or best! I think that you should go lighter in your new Florida home. Both look comfy and both are really pretty, but I have a thing for buffalo check. Can't wait to see what you decide.
- June 17, 2014 at 1:50 AM
Buffalo check. Large scale curtain rod hung high with colorful panel drapes. Paint shelved piece to coordinate with new drapery. Statement chandelier will make a big difference, too. Drapes may eliminate need to trim windows and add wainscoting, both of which may make the space seem smaller by dividing wall height. Have fun!

- June 17, 2014 at 6:35 AM
Definitely the light chairs, they compliment the table and the fabric brings in softness...can't wait to see which lighting you choose...took me a year to pick out a Chandy for our breakfast room!
- June 17, 2014 at 8:03 AM
I like the light chairs. Probably because I too have a white table and tried my pine ladder backs with it for awhile, then brought in some cane back chairs I had painted French blue and white. They just look "right"
- June 17, 2014 at 8:14 AM
Hello Sherry,
The buffalo check chairs! They are pleasing to the eye with the beautiful table, look a lot more comfortable and a linen roman shade would complete the scene.
I also picture a fabulous, crystals dangling chandelier!
- June 17, 2014 at 8:14 AM
I definitely like the more casual look of the darker chairs but I feel like they are a little dark.The lighter chairs are very nice but seem a little formal for an eat-in kitchen. I think the darker chairs would be very nice if painted a lighter color.

I love them both....how about the light buffalo check for the spring and summer months and switch to the darker for the fall and winter; however, if you are looking for a more permanent solution then I love the light buffalo check for sure!...

Everyone seems to be in agreement. The lighter chairs with the check look perfect from one angle, but when the dark piece on the other wall is shown, it gets complicated. If it were my house and I owned all the lovely furniture, I think I would paint the stand to compliment the table and chairs and focus on that lovely blue to accent and pull the furniture all together.

Style-wise, I like the fabric covered chairs better with the table, but the darker chairs help to pull through the other dark furnishings that you have. What if you used a darker (not black) fabric on the lighter chairs?

So many people seem to like the buffalo plaid and therefore pick the white chairs. I think they're too bland with the rest of the white in the corner. I say use the black chairs or...my favorite option...paint the white chairs black and keep the buffalo plaid covers.

LONDON (Sep. 11)
The World Jewish Congress has protested to the British Government against an order by the British occupation authorities in Germany evicting six Jewish families in Juckersbors, near Cologne, from their homes in order to make billets available for Belgian troops being brought into the town, the Congress announced here today.
A similar protest will be placed with the Belgian Government, and representations have been made to General L. Bishop, British military commander in Germany, by the Central Committee of Liberated Jews. The order is to take effect tomorrow.
The W.J.C. has pointed out that the six Jewish families are exempted from confiscations by the authorities because they have a special status as victims of the Nazis. A spokesman for the local German authorities has expressed himself as opposed to the eviction of the Jews, and the town's mayor has stated that other accommodations could be found for the Belgian troops.

Relationships Between Plasma PCSK9 Levels, LDL-cholesterol Concentrations and Lipoprotein (a) Levels in Familial Hypercholesterolemia

- How to Read a Study Record
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal codominant single gene disorder caused by mutations in the LDL receptor gene (LDLR) that disrupt the normal clearance of LDL particles from the plasma. Heterozygous patients (HeFH) present a two- to three-fold raise in plasma LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations and coronary artery disease occurs earlier among HeFH carrying negative-receptor (NR) mutations as compared with HeFH subjects carrying defective-receptor (DR) variants. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) regulates LDL-C levels by binding to LDLR and by enhancing its intracellular degradation.
The objective of this study is to examine to what extent variations in LDL-C and Lipoprotein (Lp) (a) concentrations are related to PCSK9 levels in a large French-Canadian cohort of HeFH subjects.
The primary hypothesis is that that PCSK9 levels have a significant impact on LDL-C concentration variability and are associated with Lp(a) levels.

Mendeed was a melodic-death metal band with traces of Metalcore mainly in the vocal style of Dave Proctor (Before they broke up after their sophomore release in 2007). Mendeed's debut This War Will Last Forever while not being very original is extremely well done especially for a debut album. It sounds like a very thrashy high speed version of melodic-death metal, with many solos, great leads, and mid-tempo parts for variety.
Most of the songs on this album range from solid to very entertaining and there are very few parts in this nearly hour long album that you are not entertained (Over 70 minutes if you own the re-release with the two bonus tracks. This War Will Last Forever starts off with the instrumental album opener What We have Become, it is mainly a Bag-Pipe solo with some battle noises at the end, it is very emotionally charged that makes you feel like your on a battle field and mourning you fallen brothers (A great way to start an album). Then Beneath A Burning Sky bursts forth and you are treated to some awesome fast riffs with the best solo off the album. The rest of This War Will Last Forever is basically in the same vein as Beneath A Burning Sky except for a few moments like the mid-tempo first minute on The Mourning Aftermath, and the mainly mid-tempo For Blasphemy We Bleed.
The band members are all very talented even the vocalist though he is the weakest link. Dave Proctor is a pretty good vocalist when he doesn't spew his more Metalcore styled melodic singing; he improves much more on their sophomore release. The guitar duo of Steph Gildea and Steven Nixon is very good and the highlight of the album with many inspired leads, great riffs, and almost exclusively great solos. Chris Lavery's bass while not audible for most of the album adds more heaviness to the album especially on the slower mid-tempo parts. Finally Kevin Mathews drum work is pretty good with some great fills and plenty of fast double bass work he's a very solid drummer.
Overall This War Will Last Forever while not being a perfect album is excellent never the less. The only downside to this album is that it its too long could have been shortened to about fifty minutes and the second half is a bit weaker. Best songs are Beneath a Burning sky, Stand As one And Fight For Glory, Remains Of The Day, Withered And Torn, two other standouts is the instrumental opener and The Mourning Aftermath. I highly recommend this album to fans of melodic-death metal and of any type of melodic fast metal.
-4 points Dave Proctors vocals need some improving
-4 album length could be shortened for greater effect
-2 second half is somewhat weaker

Lost Cities of Britain: The Quest for Camelot
By RONALD BLYTHE; Ronald Blythe is the author of ''Divine Landscapes'' (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich).
Published: October 4, 1987
THERE ARE IN BRITAIN VANISHED cities, lost villages, disappeared kingdoms even, some with their names still on the map. Trying to reach them isn't quite as hopeless as trying to reach the rainbow's end, but the point at which their legend and their geography meet is sure to be buried in a thicket of poetry. Digging into both the literature and the earth can produce a few hard facts, although one soon comes to accept that these much pined-for places can exist only in the imagination. Hence the centuries of storytelling, which keeps them alive when they are no more.
Our local vanished city is Dunwich on the Suffolk coast. I have sat on the cliffs there many a time, obediently listening to the bells in drowned churches ringing below the North Sea, for this is what one comes to Dunwich to do. It is precarious to venture to the cliff edge because the soil erosion that tipped this grand medieval city into the waves never stops; but the gentle hourglass trickling of sand and human bones from the last churchyard onto the beach is a sight not to be missed. Such nonplaces, with their resonant names, offer a singular attraction. Some travelers find them haunted or sacred; I find them so eloquent that sometimes I can hardly believe what I hear them saying to me. The experience is far from new. Think of the eloquence of that bumpy mound called Troy.
My favorite long journey in Britain is from East Anglia to Cornwall. I have made it regularly throughout the years since I was 19. It is a journey from flint to granite, from a hard bright light to opalescent mists, and it is broken at Glastonbury, not at all a vanished town but, for me, a staging for Camelot.
Camelot is among the most yearned-for lost cities in the world, and the modern quest for it has been surpassed in determination and intensity only by its citizens' legendary quest for the Sangreal, the cup used at the Last Supper and then by Joseph of Arimathea to catch the blood of Jesus at the Crucifixion. Was Camelot Colchester? ask the historians. Possibly. Could it have been Winchester? About a dozen years ago a Camelot Research Committee, a group of British archeologists, excavated the vast earthworks called Cadbury Castle in order to put King Arthur's lovely capital on the Ordnance Survey map, but although there were plenty of archeological finds, none spelled Camelot. None, I fear, ever will.
The best gathering place for those hoping to invade Arthur's kingdom is Glastonbury. The town was once an island on a watery plain and is visible for a great distance because of its famous Tor, a peculiar column-like hill of some 500 feet crowned with a tall church. This Tor dominates the surrounding landscape like a totem.
To spell out what Glastonbury has meant to pilgrims over the centuries would be impossible. Mystics say that it is magnetic; folklorists that it is central to the British version of a worldwide legend, and historians - well, having such a pile of rich tales to work through before they can get anywhere near history proper, they say what they can under the circumstances. Glastonbury is where everyone goes to theorize.
The countryside surrounding Glastonbury is none other than Avalon, the holy ''Isle of Apples'' to which not only King Arthur and his knights, but many of England and Ireland's saints made their way, their destination the spot below the Tor where the scanty remains of the Benedictine Abbey of St. Mary now stand, a place of quite enormous sanctity, for it was believed that not only Joseph of Arimathea had walked there, but Jesus himself. (''And did those feet . . . ?'' asked William Blake.) At the Abbey is the empty space in the grass that is one of Arthur's reputed graves. (The other site that tradition holds to be Arthur's final resting place is Slaughter Bridge, in Cornwall.) Here ''the once and future king'' waits until it is time to rule a better Britain, and it is here that the staff St. Joseph thrust in the soil took root and now blooms at Christmas. (A twig goes to the Queen to decorate her dinner table.) The visitor will see the gaping Abbey, the enigmatic Tor, the grave, the thorn, and will see with a different eye that a mythology of a heroic nature and size lies spread before him, and he could be daunted. For he will also recognize that there are no shortcuts to getting at the truth of what happened here. Indeed, a small army of Arthurians have spent their lives doing little else.
The historical Arthur was most likely a youthful resistance leader who, during a time of national confusion and despair, the pagan invasion from Northern Europe, rallied his compatriots with a call to extol and fight for the old virtues. Using knighthood as a concept of manly perfection and a round table so that no one could take precedence, he led his men as one among equals. After his death, his character and his exploits became the favorite subject of fireside storytellers, gradually evolving into a kind of nobly decorated truth. Soon Arthur became Britain's hero-king, who had to be given a place in written history and in the mainstream of European myth. He was human and he was magic, a devotee of Christ and one who himself would return to usher in an inspired rule.

Kevin Pietersen texts just banter, say Proteas
South Africa attempted to distance themselves from the
Kevin Pietersen saga by denying texts sent by the England batsman to members of their squad were 'derogatory'.
However, while the tourists tried to play down the significance of the messages – leaked from their camp – it is understood the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) remain convinced the messages were critical of coach Andy Flower and captain Andrew Strauss .
Following talks at Lord's on Friday, the ECB gave Pietersen 48 hours to sign a statement saying the texts were not derogatory. He was dropped for this week's third Test when he failed to do so.
South Africa team manager Dr Mohammed Moosajee said: 'There have been untruthful allegations in the media implicating members of our squad in the current issue between Kevin Pietersen and the ECB.
'Text messages were sent but, like we said before, it was banter among team-mates, which is perfectly acceptable.
'The ECB has not made a formal approach to myself or any member of the team to see the text messages, as is currently being reported.
'Allegations that Dale Steyn and AB de Villiers were the recipients of the texts are unfounded.
'This is an internal issue between Kevin Pietersen and the ECB, and we do not want to get ourselves involved.'
Despite South Africa confirming the ECB has not seen the messages, Pietersen's refusal to sign the agreement on Friday was enough to convince England their contents was inflammatory.
It is thought Pietersen's only way back is an unreserved apology to Flower and the rest of the squad, although it is understood such is the breakdown in the relationship even that might not be enough.

Paralympic swimmer Stephanie Millward inspired students at Abbeyfield to reach for their goals at a prize-giving ceremony.
The swimming star from Corsham, who won five medals at the London Games, spent time talking to students and having her photograph taken with them.
Nearly 30 pupils from last year's Year 11 were recognised at the awards, including Holly Provis, who was named most outstanding student. She said it was fantastic to meet the swimmer and see her Olympic medals.
Holly was nominated by teacher Mr Down, who said: "Holly is exceptionally polite and respectful to all her teachers and peers and, as a result, is a popular member of her year group. The commitment, dedication and maturity she demonstrates helped her to achieve her outstanding set of GCSE results."
Katie Duncan, who was awarded the Alan Roberts Award for Science, said: "I was so pleased. My mum has put the trophy above our fireplace and we can't stop talking about it."
The guest speaker was Tim Hollingsworth, chief executive of the British Paralympic Association.

Alexander Skarsgard, True Blood co-stars are getting naked
All you True Blood fans have a lot more to look forward to in season three, since it looks like pretty much everyone in the cast will be spending most of their time with no clothes on. Well, not all the time, but we know that's half the reason you're watching, anyway.
"A lot of people will be getting naked this season," Todd Lowe (a.k.a. Terry Bellefleur) told E!. His castmates back up that assessment, especially about Alexander Skarsgard.
"Alex is not shy about getting naked at all!" Carrie Preston, who plays Arlene Fowler, said about her costar. "And there will be lots of those kinds of scenes with Alex this season."
It's times like this The Juice* wishes we could afford premium cable; We already missed Anna Paquin's big reveal last season. Oh well, there's always DVD.

The eighth and final season of Dexter begins tonight on UK satellite channel Fox.
Former Six Feet Under star Michael C Hall reprises the role of TV's most likeable serial killer, blood splatter analyst Dexter Morgan, as the US drama starts its final run.
Last season was one of the show's most dramatic, and the repercussions take a heavy toll on Dexter's sister Debra (Jennifer Carpenter), whose life seems to be spiralling out of control.
And Dexter also faces the challenges presented by the latest character to turn up at Miami Metro. Dr Evelyn Vogel (Charlotte Rampling), a neuro-psychiatrist whose expertise is in psychopaths.
"It's very rare that in the eighth season you can introduce a major piece of the puzzle of a character, and Dr Vogel brings the last remaining piece of the puzzle of Dexter," executive producer Sara Colleton told TODAY.com.
Dexter season eight begins tonight (July 7) at 9pm on Fox.

I am a 46 year old male had a facelift on Dec. 22nd 2010. After three weeks time, most of the swelling had gone down except for some numbness around the check area to be expected. However, I have excessive swelling and pulling forward and downward of my earlobes which looks like my earlobes are attached to my cheek. Is this normal for this time period and for this area? When i move my jaw side to said the earlobe goes with it. Will it retract? and is this excessive swelling normal?
Excessive Swelling And Pulling Down Around Earlobes After Facelift
Doctor Answers 35
Excessive Swelling And Pulling Down Around Earlobes After Facelift
Swelling soon after Facelift surgery is common and should resolve over time. Your ear lobes however should not be pulled down and this may require some minor surgical revision. Revisit your surgeon to discuss your concerns.
What if earlobes are PULLED FUNNY after a facelift.
It is still early....but ...PULLED EARLOBES MAY BE A CONCERNING PROBLEM. Go see your surgeon and talk to him or her. This may be temporary but may not and you will need a revision at 6 months. occasionally this can and does happen although it idelly should not. The good news is that it is easy to correct when it occurs. Hopefully as you heal this will resolve, I hope. See your surgeon. Part of a surgeons job is to be supportive and solve complication problems. Pulled down and forward earlobes are not acceptable, should they remain that way.Good luck.
Excessive Swelling And Pulling Down Around Earlobes After Facelift
The #healing process in general can take up to one month for the majority of swelling to subside, incisions to close, sutures to come out, and for bruising to completely go away.
#Recovery time from a #facelift varies from person to person, but patients can generally expect to be presentable within three weeks from surgery. Patients should expect swelling, bruising, and discoloration of the skin during this phase of recovery (swelling normally goes down after 48 hours; most bruising will go away within two weeks). Some degree of firmness or #lumpiness under the skin is normal after surgery and will resolve with time. Local #massage will speed resolution of this problem, which normally takes 2-4 months to disappear completely.
The marks from a facelift can easily hidden with "camouflage" make-up which you can learn how to apply.
The scars from a facelift mature within six to twelve months from the surgery date. It is during this time that the rejuvenating effects of the facelift will become apparent and the real result will be seen. If you have certain concerns about the procedures and #healing process, it is recommended to call your board-certified surgeon or their medical staff and discuss those #concerns.

Excessive swelling and earlobe displacement
It is very difficult to answer your question without seeing your pictures or examining you - truly excessive swelling after a lift is something you should see your surgeon for.
Pulled earlobes after Face Lift.
The earlobes can be pulled forward or downward, after a face lift, depending on the amount and manner in which the skin is trimmed around the earlobe. This will not, IMHO retract and may even continue to move in the direction this pulls occurs. It's best for you to ask your face lift surgeon for advice on the matter. There is a localized touch up procedure that can correct this issue.

Earlobes can be the big tip-off of a facelift. But there is hope!
How the ear lobes are handled in a facelift are one of the most often overlooked or mis-managed nuances of this type of surgery. It is a seemingly minor maneuver during the surgery. But it can tell the whole story: "I had a facelift!" On the up side, we do ear lobe revisions all the time to correct this defect. So you don't have to live this way or have an entire facelift revision to reverse the "attached" ear lobe look.
Facelift Results
It is not unusual for facelift patients to have swelling for several months following a procedure. However, it is unusual for the earlobes to be pulled down following a facelift. You should discuss these results with your surgeon,
Swelling after Facelift
Three weeks after a Facelift, some degree of swelling is expected and is totally normal. However, if too much tension was placed on the skin at the point of earlobe inset, an undesirable phenomenon known as a "pixie" ear can occur. It is best to discuss your concerns with your Surgeon. Unfortunately, if a "pixie" ear deformity has occurred, it cannot be corrected without further surgery.
Pulled earlobes after facelift
Since it has only been three weeks since your surgery, some of the effect may be related to post-op swelling. Time will tell.
If there is too much tension on the earlobes when they are inset during the tailoring phase of your facelift, a pulling effect can result long-term. This is known in the trade as a "pixie ear". This may require a surgical revision. Speak with your surgeon about your concern.
All the best,

It also provides a membership to a community where people pay you money to help others complete these Incentivized Freebie Websites. More will be said on this later.
If you have seen websites that offer Free iPads, then you have probably been to a IFW. The problem is that when people are first exposed to these websites, they may think that it is a scam. Some of this is true, there are always bad apples from the bunch. Some of the IFW may be scams, but there are actually some legit ones out there. And these are the ones that Project Payday talks about and is contained in the book. Did you know that there is one IFW that has been running for 7 years and has sent over $9 million dollars in gifts?
There is a whole secret network of forums on the Internet where people are dedicated towards helping others complete the requirements in order to get a Free Ipad and other electronics for people. This information is contained in the Project Payday book. Furthermore, Project Payday also has a mentorship program, where you can get support from people who have mastered this method and already make a lot of money from it. I find that this is really helpful as all your questions can be answered. Furthermore, it may get confusing at first, so I really like this aspect of the program because I like being spoonfed until I know what is going on.
Basically, how these IFW can afford to give you these electronics for free are as follows. Note, you do not necessary have to choose to get electronics, you can opt for money instead. I have done it hundreds of times. The money that is being used to give you the free product comes from advertisers. This is a new spin on how advertisers choose to spend their marketing budget. Traditionally, many companies will choose to spend their money on passive marketing methods such as buying airtime for commericals in television. A great example of this was the Superbowel this past weekend. It cost $3 million dollars for 30 seconds of airtime. Yet, with the current technology such as Youtube and Netflix, television viewership (with the exception of the SuperBowl) is decreasing and companies need to be more innovative to get the most out of their advertising budget. The IFW are one form of advertising. How it works is that you have companies like Netflix, People Magazine, and Direct TV. These companies will pay the IFW money for each person that they can get to sign up for their services. These services are often free trials and that allow the consumer to test out these services. So, for example, if an IFW offers you a free iPad. They would have a requirement to have you refer 10 people to try
out a trial service from such companies like Netflix. The IFW will get paid by Netflix and this money will be used to purchase your iPad, so you will esssetnailly be getting it for free. The IFW will profit because the amount of money that they get from Netflix will be more than enough for the iPad and Netflix will profit because they get new customers for their service. The rate that they pay the IFW is calculated so that they are profitable in the long run. Some people may cancel the free trial to Netflix and other people will continue and stay on as paying customers. This is an incentivized offer. The companies that have their own service allocate their marketing budgets so that they can get a direct return on their investment rather than brand awareness that comes with television ads. Although some people may cancel the service, that's a given. It's the most common model of advertising. Take Groupons for an example. They give you a deal so that you try out a company's service. If you like it, you may become a repeat customer and order again. This is done to get more people to try their services. The IFW makes money on each free trial offer that people sign up for using their site. And you get a free electronic or cash. It's a really complicated equation, but all parties win using the IFW.
The beauty of this is that there are people that will pay you money for being one of the 10 people that they may need to sign up for a free trial. The rates that I have seen are $30-50 for a free trial that you sign up. This is another method that is mentioned in the Project Payday book. Specifically, the Project Payday book will direct you to this huge member site with 84 000 members right now that are dedicated towards completing IFW sites. You can complete these free trial offers and earn cash (average payment is usually $25) for each offer you complete for them. You could also do offers for others and in return they will do offers for you, so that you meet the requirements of the IFW to get your reward.
The bottom line here is that since I have followed the Project Payday method, I have received the following benefits:
I have gotten many electronics for free including 2 iPads, 3 iPods, a PS3, a Xbox 360, a Nintendo Wii and a Netbook. I also received plenty of cash each month as well. Project Payday may not be for everyone but it has certainly helped me allow me to get the newer electronics that I would not have been able to afford for free. Furthermore, the extra $500-2000 a month really goes a long way in helping me pay my bills. The more effort you put into this, the more money you will make in the long run.
Is Project Payday a scam? The answer is no. They are actually an accredited business with the Better Business Bureau and they have an A rating. If you are looking for ways to make money online, I believe that Project Payday is an excellent option to try. There are very few companies that would have a $100 guarantee. Their guarantee is that if you follow the ebook and you do not make $50 then, the founder of Project Payday will pay you $100. Project Payday isn't for everyone, but it's a pretty neat system. You will have to find out for yourself whether or not this is for you. The only way is by trying it out.

"If it's Halloween, it must be Saw." There's no use ignoring it, because people do love this franchise. At this point, I don't think anyone even bothers to argue if the latest sequels still makes sense anymore. Is Jigsaw dead? Is he alive? Is that his evil doppelganger twin? Does it even matter? Of course not. It's "Saw", it's Halloween, and it's all about the blood and how many cool ways you can off the poor saps that populate the film's minutes in-between the opening and closing credits. So here is your preview of the latest "Saw" movie — "Saw 4". (I love it. They don't even bother with giving it a lame title. They just tack on the Roman numeral after it and move on.)
Jigsaw and his apprentice Amanda are dead. Now, upon the news of Detective Kerry's murder, two seasoned FBI profilers, Agent Strahm and Agent Perez, arrive in the terrified community to assist the veteran Detective Hoffman in sifting through Jigsaw's latest grizzly remains and piecing together the puzzle. However, when SWAT Commander Rigg (Lyriq Bent) is abducted and thrust into a game, the last officer untouched by Jigsaw has but ninety minutes to overcome a series of demented traps and save an old friend or face the deadly consequences.
Starring: Scott Patterson, Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Justin Louis, Lyriq Bent
Directed by: Darren Lynn Bousman
Release Date: October 26th, 2007

It's believed an electrical problem sparked a fire Thursday night at the regional office for the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
Employees with Questline Productions were working late at the Kentucky-Tennessee Conference offices on Conference Drive when the lights began acting strangely.
Upon investigation, the employees found a fire in the ceiling.
"When we pulled the tiles back, you could actually see the fire burning," said Charles Byrd with Questline Productions. "One of the 2x4s had burned half-way through and the other tiles were starting to turn brown, so we shot it with a fire extinguisher and called the fire department.
The fire damage to the building was minimal, however there was damage caused by water.

Shelby GT350 Mustang: The Legend Returns
One of the most iconic performance Mustang nameplates of all time is returning, Ford confirmed today with the reveal of the all-new Shelby® GT350 Mustang.
The original Shelby GT350 introduced in 1965 established Mustang's performance credentials. The all-new Shelby GT350 Mustang, featuring the most powerful naturally aspirated Ford production engine ever, is a world-class performance vehicle, designed to tackle the planet's most challenging roads – an all-day track car that's also street legal.
The new GT350 builds on Carroll Shelby's original idea – transforming a great every-day car into a dominant road racer – by taking advantage of a dramatically improved sixth-generation Mustang to create a truly special driving experience. Driving enthusiasts behind the wheel of a Shelby GT350 can expect to be treated to the most balanced, nimble and exhilarating production Mustang yet.
Ford engineers took an innovative approach with GT350. Rather than develop individual systems to perform well independently, every component and shape is optimized to work in concert; balance is the key. While paying rigorous attention to detail, the team pushed the envelope with cutting-edge materials and technologies.

On a chilly, gloomy day in South Bend, Notre Dame played poorly on defense, gave up a 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and could not run the ball with any consistency against one of the worst defenses in Division I football. Although that sounds like a recipe for disaster, the Irish turned to Brady Quinn and the best player in the country delivered a 45-26 victory over the North Carolina Tar Heels.
Quinn continued to rewrite the Notre Dame record book with 346 passing yards and four touchdowns without an interception. Jeff Samardzija caught six passes for 177 yards and a 43-yard score to set an Irish record with 23 career TD receptions. Derrick Mayes, who was on hand for the festivities, previously held the mark.
Rhema McKnight hauled in six catches including two touchdowns and John Carlson had eight receptions and a score. Darius Walker rushed for 86 yards, most of which came in the second half. Walker reached the end zone in the fourth quarter to turn out the lights on the Tar Heels.
The Irish tried to make a statement on the first series as Quinn started out with the no-huddle, two minute offense. The result was a crisp 65-yard scoring drive in 2:03 capped by a seven yard pass to McKnight. Although the Notre Dame defense looked strong on Carolina's first series, the Irish went to sleep as Joe Dailey directed an 80-yard march for the tying score. The key plays were a 35-yard run by Ron McGill and a 21-yard reception by Hakeem Nicks.
Notre Dame quickly restored order by scoring on its next two possessions for a 21-7 lead early in the second quarter. When Carl Gioia, who has become a very reliable kicker, added a 27 yard field goal a few minutes later, Irish fans figured to keep warm in the stands by doing plenty of pushups.
The momentum changed on the next play, however, as Brandon Tate broke through poor attempts at tackling by Notre Dame and returned the kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown. A missed PAT kept the margin at 24-13, but Quinn had plenty of time to produce one of his patented scoring drives before halftime.
Although Notre Dame did not follow the script, the Irish scored in a familiar way as Tom Zbikowski returned a Carolina punt 52 yards for a 31-13 lead a few minutes before intermission. This was Zbikowski's first special team touchdown of the season, and the senior finally appears to be getting healthy after a difficult month.
Based on recent performances, Irish fans expected the defense to take control in the second half against an outmanned opponent. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Dailey and Hicks led the Tar Heels on a 78-yard march to close the gap to 31-19 just five minutes into the third quarter.
Notre Dame's offense was unfazed that Carolina was still in the game, and it seemed as though the Irish could score whenever needed. David Grimes gave his team a boost by returning the ensuing kickoff across midfield, and Samardzija hauled in his record-setting TD pass three plays later to give his team a 38-19 lead.
The Tar Heels stubbornly refused to go away. Dailey and Nicks hooked up on the next play from scrimmage on a 72-yard scoring pass as Notre Dame's Terrail Lambert was burned badly. Nicks caught six passes on the day for 171 yards and two scores, which placed him alongside Mario Manningham as Lambert's least favorite player.
Leading by only 38-26 heading into the final period, the Irish added a clinching touchdown by Walker to account for the final 45-26 margin. The Heels did not go quietly, however, as a late hit on Quinn sparked open hostilities between the teams and the referees stayed busy until the final whistle. Coach Charlie Weis quickly cleared his bench and kept his franchise quarterback from further jeopardy.
Despite several instances of poor defensive play and the special teams breakdown, the outcome was never really in doubt. Quinn has been good enough to compensate for Notre Dame's mistakes and weaknesses, which is remarkable considering the lack of production in the running game and inconsistent pass protection. Quinn was sacked three times and hit hard on several occasions by Carolina, but the senior is one of the toughest players to wear the Irish uniform.
There were plenty of positives in this game besides Quinn and his receiving corps to comfort the legions of restless fans. Notre Dame's defensive line turned in its best effort of the season, and freshman running back James Aldridge looks as though he is ready to take on a larger role in the offense. The 8-1 Irish travel to play Air Force next week in search of improved execution in the running game and overall consistency on defense. They will need both to end the regular season on a positive note and return to the BCS.

Guest Blogger: Book Group in Bangkok
My friend John Henderson writes about his book group in Bangkok, Thailand.
Our Bangkok book group also read Tom Rachman's The Imperfectionists. Like yours, our discussion succeeded. We define successful discussions as those that provoke disagreement.
It's not much fun when everyone says, "I really liked it," or the opposite. When we're considering what to read next, we often ask of a nomination "What in that book will we fight about?" Put another way, we believe that the best book to read isn't necessarily the best book to discuss.
As the facilitator, I consciously move the conversation toward points of friction. My first question isn't always provocative—sometimes "What do you remember most?" sets the table nicely—but if we haven't clashed in the first 20 minutes then I don't think I'm doing my job.
Personal connections to the book's settings are also important to us. We often gravitate toward titles with Asian ties because many of us have lived and worked in the region for many years. So when we talked about Rory Stewart's The Places in Between, some of us were able to speak from experience about walking in Afghanistan. The common expat sense of living in a bubble came up often during our discussion of J. G. Farrell's The Siege of Krishnapur. Our arguments about why the anthropologist murdered the evangelist, in discussing Mischa Berlinski's Fieldwork, were based on our own time in northern Thailand. We didn't agree about whether or not Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises still rings true, but it helped that a few of us had been posted in Europe.
Recently we've kicked around Hisham Matar's Anatomy of a Disappearance, Rebecca Skloot's The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Graham Greene's The Quiet American, Betool Khedairi's Absent, and Erik Larson's In the Garden of Beasts.
The group of a dozen or so has met monthly for at least the last eight years. We take turns hosting and providing supper. Everybody has a day job, so we shy away from titles longer than 400 pages. About half the folks have some link to the U.S. Embassy, meaning that they rotate out fairly frequently. The rest of us were either born here or have settled in Thailand from Australia, Britain, or Canada. Look us up when you're in the neighborhood, especially if you're in the mood for a fight!

Discussion in 'Texans Talk' started by DiehardChris, Nov 19, 2008.
/blows brains out.
It just keeps getting better.
I'd really love to have ND Kalu right about now.
Who should we bring in? Babin, unfortunately, is not an option.
They've already signed DE Jesse Nading to the active roster and signed DT Gabe Long to the practice squad.
Quantum of Suckness starring Babin. Jason, Babin.
Sucks for Cochran and the Texans.
I don't remember him getting hurt in the game. Was this a practice injury like Diles?
According to Rotoworld, it's turf toe.
No, seriously. /shrug
Man are we rapping it up for the season?
We wrapped it up after the Minnesota game.
This season is over with. At the very most I see four more wins this year, more than likely it'll only be two.
Good news for Weaver.
Bad news for everyone else.
I'm afraid you're a bit more optimistic than I am.
That sucks badly. Really, really badly.
What's the skinny on Jesse Naeding?
We've had reasonably good fortune on the injury front this year. Nothing like in past years where injurys have decimated our roster, including knocking out key players for exended periods of time.
Another injury. Am I the only one that wonders why we are at the top of the league in injuries every year. Are we just getting soft players, or is our conditioning not that good, or are the players finding excuses to quit for the season? Really getting tired of this happening.
yet no "Is Cochran injury prone" threads started yet?
Well there goes our season.
We are not at the top of the league in injuries this year. We have had very few. 3 or 4. But hearing a guy is going onto the IR is to me just added irritation in a terrible season.
Week 1 game at Pittsburgh Steelers
Wow, what a bummer. So goes the story of the 2008 Texans.
