The difference is that the September earthquake was much further below the surface. This earthquake was right below the surface and therefore caused more damage.

Also, I heard on the news this morning that the previous one hit in the middle of the night.

Thanks for the link, Miz - I've read his Survivor blog this year, too. It was really cool that he gave a shout out to new TVCH readers!

Ya, Sarasmile, I just saw his shoutout to TVCH readers on the TAR Blog he wrote for this week! Not just a shout out but a link to TVCH!

Thanks Sean!

Phil Koeghan tours his hometown of Christchurch in a helicopter:

(and go figure, CBS will let me watch their news bits online, but not Elim Station or player bios.)

Phil was on Rachael Ray this morning. I only saw the part where she put a blindfold on him and gave him food from around the world. He had to guess what he just ate.

HM, just curious but did Rachael Ray let Phil speak? A few years ago, she had him on and every time he opened his mouth she interrupted with mindless blathering. Last time I ever watched her show and I used to watch daily.

It was really frustrating because Phil brought his luggage bag to show how/what he packs for the race. Needing to pack light but everything he needs. I wanted to see, but she just kept interrupting.

I missed the first part of the interview / Phil's segment. The entire end of the segment was pretty much Rachael giving him hints while he was eating whatever food. He did speak some...guessed what food he was eating.

I'm probably eventually going to see if I can find the beginning of the segment online to hear what he has to say about the race.

love Phil!

I'm putting Sean's blog from this past Sunday here because we don't have a blog thread.

I'm from the same little place in Kentucky that Gary and Mallory are from, I actually went to school with Gary (he was a year or two ahead of me). Even though I haven't lived there in over 30 years I still read the local paper online and this week they have an article that includes what Mallory is doing now. Link

I just looked up Mel White and he has such an interesting story of his life. He's an amazing person. Mel and Mike were one of my most favorite teams.

Does anyone remember how/where to look up the information on Cord's injury and recovery? I have a newly converted TAR fan that I would like to share that with -

Also the Cowboys have two other brothers, right? Do they rodeo too? do we know their names?

Don't know about the brothers, but here's a sweet piece about the injury:

We were all really moved by your account of Cord's hospitalization after a rodeo accident. Can you tell us more about that ordeal and how it impacted your relationship?
Jet: It was a hard time not just for me but for our entire family. Especially right there at the first. Cord was in a coma for a week...a period of touch and go for us. Once they moved him to a rehab hospital, they never knew how much he'd recover—if he'd be able to talk the same and still be able to function normally—because at that point he wasn't functioning normally. We were going to have to wait and see what he can do. But one morning Cord called me from the rehab hospital, and he said, "Jet, I need you to bring me my hat and my boots." Say what? What's going on? He said, "They told me if I could put my hat and my boots on I could get out of here." He got released from the hospital three days before my wedding. He was there just in time to get in the pictures.

I'm enjoying this season, it seems really fast past, I like that they've twice now had the teams keep running the same leg. And it's the first season I can recall ever rooting for everyone at the same time; so far I have no preference on who I want to win, but I'm always sad when someone has to go, lol. One hour is just to short, I wish they'd think about two hours a week for the next season. Meanwhile, this one is really great.

I was at my parent's house this weekend and my dad is a huge rodeo fan...and guess who was riding? Cord! They were talking about him being on The Amazing Race and mostly though about how he always has a smile on his face and never seems to have a bad day. Even after he got bucked off (it was amazing...his bull came out of the shoot and jumped straight up in the air at least 6 feet!) he came off the ground with a big smile on his face.

I'm super happy about that 2 hr. finale. 1 hour never felt like enough.

The first time the Cowboys were on TAR, I read the story about Cord's nearly fatal injury - and cried! It is so wonderful to see someone who has been given a "second chance at life" seem to enjoy and be grateful for it!

I have seen the same thing in a lot of cancer survivors - too bad more of us can't celebrate the day without the danger!

I don't think anyone has shared this link before.

Check out the surprise visitor in the middle of this Air New Zealand Flight Instructions Video

You have to scroll down a little bit to find the video to play.
