A DOG’S LIFE TEMPLE DOGS SAVAGELY ATTACKED
pranburi, THAILAND Stray dogs in Thailand are a problem that won’t go away, but many Thais and foreigners attempt to try and deal with them in many ways such as adoption. More often than not though, unwanted or stray dogs end up being looked after by monks or nuns at nearby temples, often with donations or assistance from local residents or charities. This in itself does not solve the problem, as it can cause tensions with people living close to where the dogs are kept because of noise, smell and cleanliness, as well as encouraging a lax attitude as regards the responsibility everyone has when they take a dog as a pet; some will discard the dog when it becomes an inconvenience to them with the knowledge that the local temple will take care of it. This has been brought into stark reality by reports from the Wat Huay Saleng Pan temple outside Pranburi, where a nun takes care of the dogs left there. There is no money available to her to construct a fenced in compound, both to keep the dogs from straying and to protect them, which has become a necessity recently as someone in or near the temple has been savagely beating the dogs, including puppies, to such an extent that they have required emergency treatment. The latest, a tiny puppy, had to be rushed to the Kassetsart Veterinary Training College where it was found to have had it’s insides ruptured by a vicious beating, while two other dogs have swollen legs so painful they cannot walk. The head monk at the temple is said to have been unhappy about the situation with the loose dogs for some time, and the nun looking after them is distraught at the violence being inflicted on them. A local group of dog lovers is now involved in trying to raise the funds needed to construct a compound, as well as trying to identify and report the person or people behind the senseless attacks on the dogs to the relevant authorities. If anyone would like to donate anything; money, materials, time or anything to assist this situation please contact AWOL on info@awolonline.net and we will pass on your details to the group in question.

Do you wonder why we say certain things, or what they really mean? Each week we will examine a different word or phrase and tell you how it came about. This week it is.. Rest on one’s laurels To be satisfied with one’s past success and to consider further effort unnecessary. The laurels that are being referred to when someone is said to ‘rest on his laurels’ are the aromatically scented Laurus Nobilis trees or, more specifically, their leaves. The trees are known colloquially as Sweet Bay and are commonly grown as culinary or ornamental plants. The origins of the phrase lie in ancient Greece, where laurel wreaths were symbols of victory and status. Of course, ancient Greece is where history and mythology were frequently mixed, so we need to tread carefully. The pre-Christian Greeks associated their god Apollo with laurel - that much is historical fact, as Apollo is wearing a laurel wreath on 2nd century BC coins. The reason for that association takes us into the myth of Apollo’s love for the nymph Daphne, who turned into a Bay tree just as Apollo approached her (anything could happen if you were a Greek god). Undeterred, Apollo embraced the tree, cut off a branch to wear as a wreath and declared the plant sacred. Their belief in the myth caused the Greeks to present laurel wreaths to winners in the Pythian Games, held at Delphi in honour of Apollo every four years from the 6th century BC. Following the decline of the Greek and Roman empires, the use of wreaths of laurel as emblems of victory seems to have taken a long holiday and didn’t re-emerge until the Middle Ages. Geoffrey Chaucer referred to laurels in that context in The Knight’s Tale, circa 1385: With laurer corouned as a conquerour And there he lyueth in ioye and in honour . A ‘laureate’ was originally a person crowned with a laurel wreath. We continue to call those who are
especially honoured laureates although the laurel leaves are usually kept for the kitchen these days. As to the phrase’s meaning, to ‘rest on one’s laurels’ isn’t considered at all a praiseworthy strategy - it suggests a decline into laziness and lack of application. That’s not the original meaning. When ‘rest on one’s laurels’ or, as it was initially, ‘repose on one’s laurels’ was coined it was invariably part of a valedictory speech for some old soldier or retiring official. An early example of that usage is found in The Memoirs of the Cardinal de Retz, 1723: The Duke [of Orleans] was old enough to take his Repose under the Shadow of his Laurels. Of course, the ‘repose’ was figurative - no one was imagining someone sleeping on a bed of laurel leaves, although the citation above could be construed as referring to laurel trees rather than laurel wreaths. No such doubts with a slightly later citation from the London-based Gentleman’s Magazine, 1733, on the retirement of a schoolmaster of Westminster School: So thou, paternal Sage, may’st now repose. Nor seek new Laurels to adorn thy Brows. As soon as we move into the energetic Victorian era, the meaning changes and the phrase is used with a distinctly disapproving tone, such as this piece in the review magazine The Literary Chronicle, 1825, which praises the work of Maria Edgeworth: We do not affect to wish she should repose on her laurels and rest satisfied; on the contrary, we believe that genius is inexhaustible... For Miss Edgeworth there must be no rest on this side the grave. Tough audience the Victorians. We are hardly any more charitable these days. ‘One-hit wonders’ are sneered at and, with proper Anglo-Saxon earnestness, Anthony Burgess dismissed author Joseph Heller’s inability to write a second book for 13 years following the success of Catch-22 by sniping that “Heller suffers from that fashionable American disease, writer’s block”.

highway patrol A man driving outside of Bangkok was driving southbound in the far left hand lane travelling at 90 kph, minding his own business. He noticed in his rear view mirror that a Bangkok Highway Patrol car was right behind him. Five kilometres later nothing’s changed, except now he’s driving at 120 kph, the maximum limit. Several kilometres further along, the police car’s right on his bumper and the man increases his speed to 150 kph. The policeman activates his lights and siren and the man reluctantly pulls onto the shoulder. After the copper demands the man’s driver’s licence and registration, he says, “Mister, I cannot for the life of me figure out why, when you knew I was behind you for quite some time, you sped up knowing that you could be done for speeding. What in the world caused you to do that ? The man looked relieved, stared the policeman directly in the eye and softly spoke, “Sir, three months ago, my wife ran off with a Bangkok Highway Patrol officer. I thought you were him, bringing her back.”

Daily, weekly or long term Business trip perks I booked into a hotel on a business trip and thought I’d get the best out of it, so I decided to get one of those girls you see advertising in phone booths when you’re looking for a taxi number. I grabbed a card on my way in. It was an ad for a girl calling herself Erogonique, a lovely girl, bending over in the photo. She had all the right curves in all the right places, beautiful long wavy hair, long graceful legs going all the way up. You know the kind; so I’m in my room and figure, what the hell, I’ll give her a call. “Hello?” the woman says. God, she sounded sexy. “Hi, I hear you give a great massage and I’d like you to come to my room and give me one. No, wait, I should be straight with you. I’m in town all alone and what I really want is sex. I want it hard, I want it hot, and I want it now. I’m talking kinky the whole night long. You name it, we’ll do it. Bring all your implements, toys, everything you’ve got in your bag of tricks. We’ll go hot and heavy all night.. Tie me up, wear a strap on, cover me in chocolate syrup and whipped cream, anything you want. Now, how does that sound?” She replied, “That sounds fantastic, but for an outside line you need to press 9.” The difference between a Girlfriend, a Mistress and a Wife? The Girlfriend says “Faster... Faster...” The Mistress says “Slower... Slower...” The Wife says “Beige... I think I’ll paint the ceiling beige....” OUt of the mouths of babes I said to my two-year-old son, “Now, what noise does a cat make?” “Miaow!” “Good, but do you know what noise a dog makes?” “Woof woof!” “That’s right! Now tell me what noise a cow makes?” “David, if you even think about going out to that bloody pub with your friends then you can forget about ever being let back in this house!” That’s my boy!

Gemini May 22 – June 21 You just don’t see what place slingshots have in today’s modern world, which is yet another reason why you are such a terrible parent. Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 Your irrational fear of sharks will disappear forever this week and be replaced with an extremely educated and informed fear of sharks. Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 The universe would like to thank you for your participation, hopes you know that you were really great, and wishes you luck in all your future endeavours.

Virgo Aug 23 – Sep 22 You’ll probably be surprised how quickly you become used to your new life, but then again, since you’ll leave most of your frontal lobe back in your old life, maybe you won’t be. Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 Your theory that “After this, they won’t dare to elect another one of those bastards” sounds hopeful, but it flies in the face of everything we’ve learned in the past 20 years. Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 You’re generous to a fault, that fault being that you’ve acquired a reputation as the guy who always comes up with the ransom money. Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 You’ll uncover startling proof that there is in fact nothing more to life than sitting around watching True Blood all day.

Last week’s solution
Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 The events of your life will continue to uncannily mirror those depicted in the film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Next week: Hôtel Terminus. Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 Please try to keep in mind that high summer temperatures do not indicate the end of the world. The magma flowing up from the cracks in the earth, however, bear thinking about. Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 You’ll constantly brag about how well your career is going, but most don’t see repeatedly visiting every all-youcan-eat buffet in the area as a “career.” Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20 One of the worst moments in anyone’s life is when they realise they’re mortal and are going to die, especially when it’s a person like you who only sees the cement truck at the last second.

utrecht, netherlands Police break into car to rescue baby and find it’s actually a lifelike doll Police have been left red-faced after they smashed a car window to save what they thought was a baby left behind on a hot day – only to discover that it was a lifelike doll. Five-year-old Chanel Cristofis had left the Reborn doll, named Sam, in her dad’s car when he dropped her at school. He then parked his car and went to work at the fish and chip shop he owns in Worksop, Nottinghamshire. A passer-by reported that they had seen a baby left in a car, and the police acted, amid fears that the ‘baby’ could die in the heat. Dad Anastasi, 37, said: ‘I couldn’t believe it when the police turned up holding the doll and told me what had happened.

The officer told me not to leave it in the car again.’ The police caused £200 worth of damage to the car to save Sam, the doll. Sgt Robert Holmes said: ‘The call was made in good faith. Drivers need to think about what they leave on view in their cars.’ Mother-of-three Victoria Cristofis, 25, bought the realistic £100 Reborn doll for her daughter’s birthday in June. The intricate Reborn dolls are made to look exactly like real babies and this isn’t the first time Chanel’s doll has caused a stir. Victoria said: ‘She is inseparable from this doll but it has caused all sorts of problems. A woman in a supermarket saw Chanel shaking it and was horrified. She asked what sort of mother I thought I was to allow my baby to be treated like
that. I had to explain to her that it wasn’t real. We ended up having a laugh about it.’ united kingdom Britons ‘to leave £26bn to pets’ British pet owners are set to bequeath a staggering £26 billion to their pets and many will do so without telling their family or friends, research suggests. Rich pets hit the headlines this week when it emerged fashion designer Alexander McQueen left £50,000 in his will for the care of his pet dogs. The new findings reveal 35% of pet owners plan to leave their pets more than £10,000 in their wills, with a further 37% admitting they intend to leave more to their furry companion than a close relative or family friend.

Featured Game FA Community Shield Sunday, 7 August 2011 Man City v Man Utd, 20:30 Quite an opener to the season as these arch rivals battle for the first silverware and bragging rights. This game is not always a great indicator of how the teams will fare during the season as there are still fitness issues and new arrivals to come. However this is likely to be a well contested affair given the local derby aspect, but it wouldn’t be too much of a surprise if neither manager played what is regarded as their full strength side. No doubt there will be substitute appearances for some new signings, such as City’s Sergio Aguero (below), and United’s Ashley Young and David De

Gea. Both teams are going through somewhat of a transition period, something that all teams have to go through, with the difference being that United have had the stabilising and massive influence of Sir Alex Ferguson throughout, while City still have a relatively new, and pressurised manager at the helm in Roberto Mancini. The Carlos Tevez situation won’t be helping City’s manager either, as last season’s captain and best player will be sorely missed if he does as expected and leaves. We think this all leads to a somewhat disjointed City who will find it hard against a somewhat less disjointed United; it will still be a close game, and may even need penalties to separate them, but we think the red half of Manchester will be celebrating at the end.

India demand bigger bats
ICC introduce handicap system for england
birmingham, england ENGLAND has questioned the ICC’s decision to give them small plastic children’s bats for the Third Test against India next Wednesday. After a disgruntled Indian side demanded an explanation as to how they could have been beaten twice by England, the super-power of world cricket has instructed the ICC to change whatever rules or equipment are currently annoying them. The third test will see England take to the field with banjos strapped to their feet, while the batsmen will have to wear gloves the size of frying pans and helmets made of meringue. England coach Andy Flowers said: “We gave one of the tiny bats to Tremlett and he nearly choked on it. Anything he’s not familiar with he immediately puts in his mouth.”

India have also insisted that their bats be three feet wide and that their bails be nailed to the stumps, at least until tea on Friday. ICC executive, Roy Hobbs, said: “Dhoni came into the office and started talking about how this was

just like the decades of British oppression under the Raj and how he felt he was being victimised like Dr Aziz in A Passage to India. “I just got all flustered and embarrassed and kept saying ‘yes’ to stuff until he left.” With England 2-0 up in the series against the top-ranked test side, Flowers admits that there is now the real danger of a prolonged period of competence. He admitted: “There was something rather life affirming about being spectacularly awful. But ‘not bad’ is a description that brings a certain level of tedium to a sport that, if I’m being honest, I actually find incredibly boring anyway.”
