27186. bhelpuri - 2/14/2013 8:17:56 AM Connor, what's your email address? You should definitely take a trip to the subcontinent if at all interested, and definitely factor in a week to chill on this precious sliver of the Konkan coastline! 27187. alistairconnor - 2/14/2013 10:44:32 AM Bhel, you add an at wanadoo dot fr to my "pseudonym" and you've got it. What's the best season?...
Definitely time for an "exotic" destination. I've been holding out for Morocco for five years now, but sadly, I may have to wait until my father-out-law dies... Family values and all that. 27188. arkymalarky - 2/14/2013 4:42:10 PM Happy anniversary Judith! 27189. bhelpuri - 2/15/2013 7:42:02 AM Connor, the season depends on where you want to go. Will you feel obliged to "do India" in the touristic fashion, inevitably involving the Taj Mahal, the camels and palaces of Rajasthan, the ghats of Benaras? I advise avoiding all of that and taking two/three weeks in Kerala + Goa, and maybe Bangalore considering your professional interests (and so you can see a rapidly developing Indian metropolis). 27190. alistairconnor - 2/15/2013 3:52:04 PM I'll pass on "doing India". Madame has been to Taj etc. so I don't have to.
Post-monsoon, July or August any good? What season is Goa at its best? 27191. alistairconnor - 2/15/2013 4:00:53 PM Oh Robt : fiction for young adults. I recommend Cory Doctorow's modern classic "Little Brother", and though I haven't read it yet, its recent sequel "Homeland". 27192. iiibbb - 2/15/2013 10:06:44 PM Well, I just submitted (2nd author) for a $4.5 million grant; cross your fingers. 27193. arkymalarky - 2/16/2013 1:22:09 AM Cool! When do you expect to know? 27194. iiibbb - 2/16/2013 3:19:53 PM This was just the concept paper. We should find out if we get to submit a full proposal within a week or two I hope. I am pretty sure we'll get an invite based on previous feedback. 27195. arkymalarky - 2/16/2013 6:37:47 PM Yay! 27196. arkymalarky - 2/16/2013 6:40:10 PM Was it Hashke who used to say "sent you an emu"?
Anyway, That's what I did Wabbit. 27197. robertjayb - 2/17/2013 9:33:42 PM Darwin Award nominees...
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say two brothers accidentally blew up their house after celebrating a $75,000 winning lottery ticket by purchasing marijuana and meth.
Wichita police Sgt. Bruce Watts says one of the brothers was taken to a hospital and the other to jail after Friday's explosion. The injured 27-year-old brother is in serious but stable condition with second-degree burns on his hands, arms and chest.
Watts says the explosion happened after one of the brothers went to the kitchen to refuel the butane torches they planned to use to light their bongs. The brother emptied a couple large cans of butane lighter fluid, leaking butane into the air.
Eventually, butane vapor reached the pilot light in the furnace, causing the blast.
