Mattingly: The house that launched Nelson

The Path of Daggers Audio Book - Fantasy at Its Finest

The Path of Daggers book, penned by the acclaimed author Robert Jordan, is a brilliant piece of work and is a great example of the fantasy category of book. As many of you know, not so long ago the fantasy genre had been the classification that many readers looked towards for new and unique subject matters presented in a most creative manner. This is partially what made the fantasy genre a very popular style that grew its dedicated reader base to many millions of people. To the non-initiated this was quite surprising, particularly because most newspaper book reviews ignored the massive growth in popularity of this type of book.

Unfortunately the fantasy genre’s popularity was also accompanied by a flood of low quality, poorly written works. This in turn hurt the appeal of the genre with many undecided buyers electing to steer clear of the fantasy style novels.

The standard of fantasy novels has been somewhat lifted with the release of The Path of Daggers. This is Jordan's eighth book in The Wheel of Time series and is a wonderful example of the fantasy genre at its finest. This amazing tale of all that is magical, interwoven with examples of finest swordsmanship, will prove to be truly enjoyable to all those readers who love this style of fictional writing.

For those readers who enjoy reading The Path of Daggers, there is another way to enjoy the novel and that is through listening to the audio version. The Path of Daggers audio book is available both online and in bookstores at very affordable price. The high quality recording and audio production is definitely a bonus and makes The Path of Daggers audio book a most enjoyable and entertaining product.

What is particularly appealing about The Path of Daggers audio book is that it is not in anyway a boorish reading of the material. Like many good example audio books The Path of Daggers Audio Book is a captivating production that will engage the imagination of the listener and transport them to a far away place. Without doubt The Path of Daggers audio book is a must have for all fans of Jordan’s work, as well as those who enjoy fantasy genre books in general.

If there is one negative aspect to The Path of Daggers Audio Book, it would be that generally the audio book version of the novel is an abridged one. That is, it is not a complete and uncut reading of the novel, but an edited version, We would however assure potential buyers that none of the major plot points are excluded so the story can still be easily followed. If you do want to read the entire story, you need to get your hands on a hard or soft back of the novel. Actually, the best deal would be to go to the book-sore or online and buy both a copy of the novel as well as The Path of Daggers audio book and you will be able to enjoy both versions of this excellent book.

Aquino’s rumored pick for AFP chief is qualified, ready
The military officer who is said to be the choice of President-elect Benigno Aquino III as the next military chief of staff said “dedicated soldiery and love for country” mattered the most in the selection of the next leader of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

A very common question asked of me by U.S. Veterans who are seeking disability compensation for injuries and disabilities incurred in military service is this: what is the "de novo" review the VA offers me when I file my Notice of Disagreement, and should I use it?

In all honesty, I cannot think of a scenario where a U.S. Veteran challenging the VA Regional Office's denial of disability benefits would not request the DRO review.

To understand why I say this, it is helpful to understand the process of challenging the VARO (VA Regional Office) denial of a claim for disability compensation to a US Veteran.

After the veteran's claim is denied by the VA Regional Office (whether denied partially or entirely, the U.S. Veteran must challenge the decision if he or she wants to continue to pursue the benefit.

To begin the process of challenging the VARO Ratings Decision, the first step is for the Veteran to send the VA Regional Office a written notice of disagreement (also known as a "NOD"). Once the U.S. Veteran files the "NOD" with the VA Regional Office, that office will typically send the Veteran a form that has some language about making an " appeal election. The VA Regional Office will ask that the Veteran choose between the traditional appeal process or a review by what is called a "Decision Review Officer (which I call the DRO). The VA will give the Veteran 60 days to file the appeal election for with the VARO.

Now, that is the process to get the ball rolling on challenging the VA Ratings Decision. What is the DRO process, how is it different from the BVA, or traditional, appeal, and why do I say it should always be utilized by the Veteran?

First, DROs are senior claims examiners who have the authority to grant the Veteran's requested benefits, based on the same evidence that was used in the initial ratings decision. The DRO will review the evidence "de novo" (This means, in a nutshell, with fresh eyes and without deference to the initial VA Ratings Decision.)

Second, the DRO is a senior and much more experienced claims representatives with the VA who has probably seen more claims, knows the law better, and whose job is not only to make sure that the Veteran is getting a "non-adversarial" decision, but also to protect the VA from the cost and time of poor decisions from Junior Claims examiners.

Third, the DRO will review the case without deference to the VA Rating Decision. In some situations, the Veteran can ask to meet with or talk to the DRO.

Fourth, the DRO process has a good chance of being successful and if it is successful, it will be a lot faster than appealing to the BVA, where the wait for a hearing can be 500-600 days, or more. I was told at a recent Veterans' CLE, without any hard evidence to back up the statistic, that 2% of the initial claim denials are reversed by the VA's DRO process. In the land of the VA, 2% is an incredibly high success ratio (believe it or not).

Fifth, even if the DRO agrees with the Initial Ratings Decision, (or makes a decision that is favorable, but not completely correct) you can still appeal to the BVA. So, the Veteran doesn't lose the ability to challenge the VA Ratings Decision, has a 2% chance of having the VARO's decision reversed, often doesn't have to submit any new documentation, and can at times communicate directly with the DRO. What's not to like about the DRO process?

Let me give you a good example of success using the DRO process. In a recent appeal I handled for a Vietnam Vet with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the VA initially denied the Veteran's claim. The VA's position was that there was no evidence that the Veteran had been diagnosed with PTSD. This conclusion was absurd: the VA had actually diagnosed the Vet with PTSD, the diagnosis was in his Claims File AND the VA Doctors had already concluded that this Veteran's PTSD was a direct result of his military service.

On behalf of the Veteran, we sought review by a DRO. Within a couple of months, the Veteran was evaluated by a local VA Medical Center, and was given an impairment rating for his PTSD. About 30 days later, the Veteran received payment of past-due money from the VA, and will continue to receive benefits for his now service-connected PTSD.

Without a DRO, this Veteran would have had to wait at least one or two YEARS to argue to a BVA HearingS Officer that he was entitled to PTSD. Even if the Veteran persuaded the BVA Hearing Official, the claim likely would have just been sent back to the VA Regional Office for an impairment evaluation and further development of the record. This process could have taken years, without netting a single payment to the Veteran.

While the DRO process does not guarantee Veterans that they will win their claim, the DRO process can be a really good chance to get the Veteran the benefits they are entitled to - and usually quicker!

The process works for the VA, because they are able to more efficiently reduce their backlog of claims.

The process works for the BVA Hearings Officer, who only has to resolve the remaining disputes (such as the effective date of an award, or the proper impairment percentage, etc.)

In short, I can't think of a reason not to request a DRO review of the VARO's Initial Rating Decision.

If you are a U.S. Veteran and have questions about your service-connected disability benefits or claims, contact an experienced Veterans Disability Benefits attorney.

Improperly stored knives become damaged and dull more quickly. Using a knife block to store them not only protects them, but is also safer than placing them in a drawer. Cuts can occur when you are trying to find a knife entangled with other items. Drawers are also easier for young children to reach. With blocks, you can find models that have locks to prevent children from removing the knives. With so many styles and colors on the market, you should be able to easily find a style to complement your kitchen.

You will often find bamboo included in categories labeled as wood. While not technically made of wood, bamboo is actually very durable. These are traditionally pale in color. Hardwoods, such as maple, oak, or cherry, are also used for blocks. Stains can vary, but typically maple and oak are chosen for lighter finishes, while walnut and cherry are used for dark ones. Beech and pine is also used in some economical models, but these are less desirable since they can warp much more easily.

Slot free blocks use magnets to keep knives in place. The magnets are hidden beneath the surface, which is most often wood. Since knives are held on the exterior of the block, it is more convenient for knives with an odd shape. The knives are also fully visible, so selection is made faster and easier.

For those who want to add a splash of color, plastic blocks provide the most variety, offered in colors from snow white to apple red. There are some cheaper styles that may not wear well, but the more expensive models are extremely durable. They are also more practical to clean than wood, which can be warped if placed in water.

Under the cabinet knife blocks keep the counter space clear while storing knives safely. Some models swivel or pull out to make it easier to retrieve the proper knife. These styles place knives even further out of reach of young children. Most styles are wood, but there are also magnetic and plastic styles available.

Locks keep the knives safely out of the hands of children. Most of them work on the premise that two separate elements must be engaged to release the lock. Locking models of virtually every style of block can be found.

Improper storage will result in knives that need to be sharpened more frequently. They can also be nicked or scratched by other utensils. A knife block can prevent this. With the number of choices on the market, you will likely have little trouble locating a suitable one.

Get that new knife block you want today by going online. With many choices of a knife block to pick from to buy. Head online for all your shopping needs.

The Legacy of the British Raj in India

The British ruled over and administered India for the best part of 100 years.

They started trading with India in the early 1600’s. By the mid 1700’s they were engaged in fighting against various kingdoms. By the mid 1800’s they were fully in control of the Indian subcontinent and were either directly administering through the means of the Indian civil service, or were letting the local Maharajahs administer their own Kingdoms as long as the Maharajahs were paying the British the desired licence fee and were prepared to follow the terms and conditions set out by the British.

In 1947 the British left India partitioned into India and Pakistan as a result of which over one million people died in migration between the two new countries. In addition India was virtually bankrupt with very little infrastructure

or industry. Yet when the British first went to India in the 1600’s it was a very prosperous place with a large GDP and a huge manufacturing base, which is the reason why the British wanted to trade in the first place. The conclusion being that the British left India in a far worse state then how they found it.

Since 1947 India has developed all its infrastructure and industries from ground up, including roads, agriculture, textiles, steel, nuclear, space, military, telecoms and IT and much more. It has made so much progress that some consider it to be a potential global superpower in the very near future, and this has all happened within 60 years of The British leaving India.

So what really was the legacy of the British in India? Many would say that the British went into a prosperous land, bled it dry, and then left. Others would say the British brought culture (education to the heathens), technology and of course the great English language to a country that otherwise would never have experienced all of this.

But one point that often gets missed is that India is now a united country with a democracy and all the relevant institutions needed to sustain democracy, like a judiciary and armed forces. The British had a big hand in this although their motives were all together different. Basically when the British came to India in the 1600’s, it was a fragmented country with many little kingdoms none of whom liked each other. The British took advantage of these differences and slowly gobbled up each kingdom, eventually bringing the sum total of all these kingdoms under British rule. Eventually when the British left they handed over a united India.

It seems that this unification could only have been achieved by an alien power like the British because the Kingdoms hated each other to the extent that they would join the British against each other, yet they would not join each other against the British. This character flaw in the Indian persona is exactly what the British exploited and is also why it would have been very difficult for the Indians to have unified by themselves without some external influence.

India has made great progress over the last 60 years because it is unified. Surely this has to be counted as an important British legac
