Happy Birthday Tom. Have a grand one

My brother Liam. He keeps me in line. Same Question.

According to my Earth Scientist boyfriend. "The Gakkel ridge exhibits some unique characteristics that make it an important area for study for biologists, oceanograhers and geologists. These characteristics include - It is the slowest known spreading ridge on the planet. - It has the deepest known evidence of pyroclastic volcanic deposits (it was previously thought they could not physicaly exist below 3000m, the ridge is at 4000 and the concentration of CO2 in the magma was found to be 10 times the expected maximum at that depth. These geological features make it both unique and interesting as it redefines some of our long standing ideas of geological processes in the deep ocean Also it has numbers of hydrothermal vents, and (possibly related) evidence of large deep ocean microbial communities with previously unknown species.Life in these kind of environments is important because they match some of the predicted environments in extraterrestrial environments we are able to study in out own solar system (eg Europa, Ganymede) so may provide a model for life on other planets. All in all, lots to see. So basically, lots going on there that may redefine our understanding of geology, geophysics and extreme biology, that you wont find the same anywhere else. Plus, it totally rocks." For what it is worth.

Goodbye my beautiful boy. At least nothing can hurt you now, you are at peace. I miss you already. Thank you to everyone for your kind thoughts , they mean more than you can know. Karl enjoyed his time in the GA community so much and found a real home here thanks to many of you. Thank you all for being there for him. I don't have words for what I want to say right now. Karl loved music, and that will have to do. I saw him sing this song once with a band. This is a version I know he liked. http://youtu.be/AgpN_3GZoZ8 Of all the money that e'er I had, I spent it in good company And of all the harm that e'er I've done, alas it was to none but me And all I've done for want of wit, to memory now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass. Goodnight and joy be with you all Of all the comrades that e'er I had, they're sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I had They would wish me one more day to stay But since it falls unto my lot that I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and I'll softly call, "Goodnight and joy be with you all!" A man may drink and not be drunk, a man may fight and not be slain A man may court a pretty girl and perhaps be welcomed back again But since it has so ordered been by a time to rise and a time to fall Come fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all Good night and joy be with you all Goodbye Karl.

Well done everyone. You have the right author and series in Gormenghast, its the first novel in that series for full marks. Daz

Right Frosty....riiiight. Easy as OK, now for one from me. "Lingering is so very lonely when one lingers all alone"

There are some it looks really hot on, but only some.

Why would you want to do this? If they are truly straight well, its going to end in tears.

Sorry but I am just not going to accept this scenario because it is too unreal. In reality, political affiliation is something I am going to be blind to. There is no situation on this planet on which two candidates are as equal as you say, and even if their qualifications appear similar, the reality of modern hiring is that this will get you to the shortlist not to the job, and behavioural based interviews will be determinative. Behavioural interviewing will separate them, I guarantee it, and I would make my final decision on that, on the basis of determining solely who is the best fit for the role, not for my or anyone elses view of politics. Any other response means you are not fit for responsibilities. OK, situational question. One of your best friends is going out with someone you have come to like and respect in their own right. Then you find the worm in the apple - your friend is cheating and you know it. Do you tell?

I loved old Warner Brothers bugs bunny cartoons. Same question !
