Which brings us up to today. Yes, it has happened again. The world is not ready, nor will it ever be, but yet here it is -here HE is- may I introduce to you once again, the incredible, the dynamic, the thrilling - DURAN DURAN DURAN!
Over Hard hits stores now and will be available very soon on mp3 sites everywhere! Over Hard sees our LORD in RAVE bringing us 11 of the most rocking tunes you're likely to find. Full of Bass and heaving with innovation, it's the record you need in your life- now more than ever!

Duran Duran Duran - Basement Tape.mp3
Ok, so at this point it's not like a shock that I've been lame at updating the news section. Dunno why, but updating the HTML has been a pain. It's not really - but I guess just posting news bits up on the forum is waaaay easier. Well, anyway, Here's a recap of the past 2 years on CRD and I fucking hope I don't forget anything.
In June of 2009 we release what I feel is one of our best and certainly most bold releases to date. Nero's Day At Disneyland is from San Fran, but by know you should all know his stuff, because he's amazing and completely, utterly unique. Pretty rare stuff these days.
DJ Rainbow Ejaculation 12"
We again teamed up with our friends over in Bristol at Death$ucker to present you with what we feel is the "most gay record in history". It's by Dj Rainbow Ejaculation, it's incredible, very, very fun, super bouncy and here's his website.
Cock Rock Disco Free Releases
But mainly for the past 2 years we've been focusing on the free music aspect of the website, and thanks to so very many of you- it's been a GREAT SUCCESS! Each of the free releases here on CRD get between 5,000 - 10,000 downloads, and that's sooo much more than we expected! We like to think it's because we have a very high standard for what we release and we're very proud of each and every one of them.
Honestly, there's just sooo much brilliant music on these releases you should go download as many as possible. Be it the bouncy Tween-fun from Sickboy or the future-rave from Herv, to the Break/surf insanity that is Retrigger or the industrial rumble of Fragment King. We have some releases that are darker and some releases that are lighter and we promise they are all great! Please tell your friends and share the luv!
And last but most assuredly not least, we did a compilation for iTunes, but they sort of fucked us over, so I just put the whole thing up @ 320. The website says it's lower res, but it's not. (wink!) Anyway, we did a tour with Otto, Duran x3, Nero and myself (DJDS) and it was really awesome. If you came out to the show I hope you had fun, because we all did.
That about catches us up, So GO DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING! I'll try to be better at this news thing. Sorry bout that again...

Holy shit! Happy new years everyone!
Sorry to all for our spotty news and info for the past 2 months. Yep, it was inevitable, Jason had a hardrive crash. Almost everything was backed up, so that's ok. But yeah, we've been a bit hard-pressed to get you the news. So here it is!

After the CRD show- there's a few CRD dates around the east coast, most notable is a show at "The Killing Center"- the moniker for our pal Machine's basement in new Brunswick, NJ. Why is this so special? Because most of us 2nd generation USA breakcore artists (Duranx3, Dev/Null, Xanopticon, Enduser, etc) met there, and its a "basement" of the VERY HIGHEST caliber. No, seriously. It will be absolutely awesome.

JF- Respect The Cock (the CRD theme song!!!!) (mp3!!!)
Duran x3- "World Went Down remix"
Dev/Null- LCDNB
Warst- Mutha Fuk'n Noize Show (for the first time on vinyl!)
This one has a poster innit as well, so you know you just simply can't live without playing these tracks. We guarantee you this one fucking kicks ass. In record stores nowish...
Wasted 2 is this weekend!
We expect it to be quite crowded, so our suggestion is come early. Doors open at 10pm, music starts at 11pm and probably goes until early morning.
White Cock is out there and selling very fast, so if you see it you better grab it up immediately. If you already missed it, then you should really start looking for it now. But good news! White Cock 2 should get here NEXT WEEK! (Right in time for Wasted 2-coincidence?) It features 4 more totally fantastic tracks by Duran Duran Duran, Dev/Null, Jason Forrest (who, this time out, delivers the cock rock disco theme song!) and........ WARST! (Finally on vinyl!) It comes with another beautiful poster too. It's a party in a bag.
Vorpal cd is now out and available in stores! It's been getting great reviews all over, so you should go get that too. Hey, why not just go download it now in our shop?
The hype is rolling in on the new Jason Forrest record, expect to see him in big magazines like Blender and Entertainment Weekly in USA and Rolling Stone in germany. (Yeah, it freaks us out too.) But out now on newsstands (in the US at least) in the latest XLR8R our man JF interviews one of his heroes- Hank Shocklee, producers and co-founder of Public Enemy. Really, its a life-long dream for JF and the interview is really very good.
"Mr. Forrest" also has a feature in the new CMJ Monthly mag, and now, come to think of it, he plays 2 shows in the infamous CMJ Marathon in NYC mid-sept. Go to the gigs section for info on them and all the other fancy shit he's working on.
Doormouse comes to Europe again in early September, his gigs are listed in the gigs section too. Be sure to catch him, he's a demon onstage. Duran Duran Duran, Next Life and About will all be on tour this fall in EU, if you want the real rock, then get in touch now so we can sort it out.
Stunt Rock Cd is finished, and gets released late Sept. and we are really very excited about this album too. Get ready for more beer fueled trash rock. In our opinion this is the ultimate Stunt Rock release, slightly more mature, but not in the way you'd expect. Actually, it could really press the buttons of all you Anticon fans. Who knows. It also comes with really fancy packaging and is actually funny.
And lastly , the unbelievably great About record is done and gets released in October as well. If you like pop, rock, computers, beats, human singing, or music in general, then you will probably freak out and swear your devotion to him like teenage girls did to the Beatles.
Oh, and we're working on more shirts!

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — If chemistry and being a good kid were everything, Oklahoma women's basketball would have been to more than three Final Fours, that Norman High basketball team of Connor Madole, Will Saxon, Nate Long and Jacques Murray would not only have reached the state tournament but won it and, probably, this year's Sooners wouldn't have lost to Kansas State and Notre Dame.
Being chalked full of intangibles is not a fix-all. You can't take it to the bank. On the other hand, it sure does help.
You can lose big with it, maybe, but you'll almost never win big without it.
Consider that when you consider Norman North, at Tulsa Union on Friday night to meet Owasso in the first Class 6A state semifinal football game this town has seen since one high school became two.
The Timberwolves aren't satisfied and still won't be if and when they take down the Rams. But they have already won big.
Last Friday, they eliminated the University of Broken Arrow, the last two words of which will never have a North, South, East or West attached, at least not until that district smugly reaches 10,000 high school students (for which it is almost halfway there).
This Friday, North can go from winning big to winning bigger, from making history to making more of it.
The point?
The right group of guys are the ones making it happen.
"They're absolutely an incredible group," second-year North coach Wade Standley said. "I've never had a group like these young men, ever. And that encompasses a lot of things. Not only on the field, but character and heart and effort and attitude and all those things that you talk about as a coach."
There are drawbacks.
They might not be the best quote, and when they talk about themselves they tend to sound like each other. And still, the thing about that? The more they win the more, together, they come out of their shell.
"It's like a movie," senior linebacker Beau Proctor said. "We're hearing it in school. We have an assembly every single week. We hear in school over the intercom that charter busses are coming, how many kids are going to go, sign up in the office. You walk down the hallways and you see kids lined up in the whole hallway, just trying to get on a bus to come to the game to watch us."
Bad kids don't get their chums, the chums of their chums, and a bunch of other students they might hardly know to pile into busses to go see them play 127 miles away.
Bad kids don't seem to understand it isn't all about them. The T-Wolves know they're not alone.
"I think they're a really special group of guys and they really make all the trainers feel like they're part of the family," said Brooke Wasoski, a North junior, and one of those trainers who puts in pretty much the same hours as the players, helping to keep them on the field. "They're good kids."
Bad kids, even should they luck into receiving support, aren't affected in return by that support. The T-Wolves are.
"Having the whole student body out there is like our fuel just to take care of business," senior nose guard Justin Martin said. "Last Friday, we were like, 'Wow, look at that.'
"It's amazing."
It's huge having a quarterback like Peyton Gavras, who has grown up before our eyes, and a running game, created at mid-season, to support Gavras and a gaggle of fine receivers, and a defense that's not only good, but has a flair for the dramatic, as it did against Broken Arrow to put the game a way, and a playmaker like Jordan Evans, who's taken the state by storm.
Those things can take any team a very long way. But if the players don't get along, if they have an eye for trouble and fail to appreciate their good fortune, that team is bound to finish short.
North can't finish short.
It can only keep going.
"We truly believe we're all brothers here. We have each others back," Proctor said. "If anybody needs anything, we come together and get it done."
Be around enough teams and you might hear that a lot. But they won't always mean it.
North means it.

Buffalo Bills defensive end Chris Kelsay will walk away from the NFL never having experienced the postseason.
Kelsay played for the Bills from 2003 to 2012, the dark ages.
The Bills are in the NFL's longest active playoff drought, a 13-year dry spell that began three seasons before Kelsay arrived.
Kelsay experienced a winning record only once, his second season. The Bills lost double-digit games six times and went 63-97 in Kelsay's tenure.
"It's something that is frustrating, something we didn't achieve as a team," Kelsay said tonight on a conference call with Bills reporters. "Obviously, the goal was to make the playoffs and contend for a championship, and in my 10 years here we were unable to do that.
"It's a tough pill to swallow, but it's one I'm willing to swallow and move on. I think there's more to it in this business, and I've learned a lot of lessons, met a lot of people and established a lot of relationships that will last a lifetime to not really dwell on that."
Kelsay, a second-round pick out of Nebraska in 2003, was a three-time Bills defensive captain. He became a starter in his second season, and from 2005 through 2011 started all 105 games he played.
He recorded 32.5 sacks, ranking ninth in team history.

The Cessna 170 was expected to be moved from Hermann Park on Tuesday. The unplanned landing of the single-engine plane happened Monday night on a flight from Lafayette, La.

text: Cheektowaga, NY (WBEN) With an 8,000 foot long runway, Air Force One should be able to land without a hitch Thursday morning, says one aviation expert. "The 8,000 foot long runway at Buffalo Niagara International Airport is more than adequate to handle Air Force One," says Bob Miller of Bob Miller Flight Training. "That aircraft is equipped for shorter operation, but it's no different than an A320, maybe a bit longer." Miller says there is one precaution the airport will take. "There's an underpass at the long runway and they'll stop traffic from going there while Air Force One lands and takes off," explains Miller. "Just because they cannot have the general public maneuvering that close to Air Force One. The lighting system is there for that purpose." Miller says the airspace within 30 miles of the plane will be closed while Air Force One is landing in Buffalo.

The Dallas Opera's previously announced world premiere of Great Scott in 2015 will now be co-produced with the recently saved San Diego Opera.
[More . . . .]
New York, NY (June 17, 2014 ) — After an outpouring of concern that its plans to transmit John Adams's opera The Death of Klinghoffer might be used to fan global anti-Semitism, the Metropolitan Opera announced the decision today to cancel its Live in HD transmission, scheduled for November 15, 2014. The opera, which premiered in 1991, is about the 1985 hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship and the murder of one of its Jewish passengers, Leon Klinghoffer, at the hands of Palestinian terrorists.
"I'm convinced that the opera is not anti-Semitic," said the Met's General Manager, Peter Gelb. "But I've also become convinced that there is genuine concern in the international Jewish community that the live transmission of The Death of Klinghoffer would be inappropriate at this time of rising anti-Semitism, particularly in Europe." The final decision was made after a series of discussions between Mr. Gelb and Abraham Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, representing the wishes of the Klinghoffer daughters.
In recent seasons, the Metropolitan Opera has championed contemporary operatic masterpieces as part of its ongoing efforts to keep opera artistically current. Previously, the Met has presented John Adams's other two major operas, Doctor Atomic (in 2008) and Nixon in China (in 2011). "John Adams is one of America's greatest composers and The Death of Klinghoffer is one of his greatest works," said Gelb. The Met will go forward with its stage presentation of The Death of Klinghoffer in its scheduled run of eight performances from October 20 to November 15. In deference to the daughters of Leon and Marilyn Klinghoffer, the Met has agreed to include a message from them both in the Met's Playbill and on its website.
In recent years, The Death of Klinghoffer has been presented without incident at The Juilliard School (2009), the Opera Theatre of St. Louis (2011), and as recently as this March in Long Beach, California. The Met's new production was first seen in London at the English National Opera in 2012, and received widespread critical acclaim.

I love opera, but sometimes even the thought of going to see it is nerve-wracking. Are the tickets going to bankrupt me? Do I have to dress up?

White House highlights obstacles to taking action on guns
As gun control advocates and even some gun rights supporters call for renewed focus on gun control, including a ban on assault weapons, following Friday's shooting in Newtown, Conn., the White House tamped down suggestions Monday that it will act quickly on the issue.
When asked at Monday's press briefing about the gun lobby's influence on potential action, White House spokesman Jay Carney responded, without specifically mentioning that lobby, "I think we all recognize that this is a complex problem and there are obstacles to taking action coming from a variety of places. What the president hopes is that everyone steps back and looks at the situation that has to be addressed and thinks broadly and thoughtfully about how we can move forward."
Carney suggested that the most Americans can immediately expect to see out of the White House will be an effort to engage the public "in the coming weeks."
He added that "no single piece of legislation, no single action will fully address the problem. So I don't have a specific agenda to announce to you today. I would simply point you to what the president said last night about moving forward in the coming weeks."
But Carney later stretched that timeline when asked about a potential loss of momentum on the issue. "It's hard to think about 20 6- and 7-year-olds and what happened to them on Friday, and imagine that in a few weeks or few months that pain would not still be incredibly intense," he said.
President Barack Obama spoke Sunday night at a vigil in Newtown and pledged to engage the public following the shooting, but made no mention of legislation or specific action.
"In the coming weeks, I'll use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizensfrom law enforcement, to mental health professionals, to parents and educatorsin an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this," the president said.
Critics say the Obama administration hasn't done enough to combat gun violence. Carney responded to that criticism Monday by saying the president has supported an assault weapons ban and that the administration has "taken steps" to improve background checks, "but as you heard the president say last night, we all need to do more."
When pressed by ABC News' Jake Tapper to name specific legislation pushed by the administration, Carney cited "actions" on background checks and again stressed that more action needs to be taken.
The Newtown shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, which resulted in 28 dead, including the gunman and his mother, has prompted lawmakers, special interest groups and others to call for a substantive response.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- Construction of a storm water handling facility at the Enterprise South industrial park in Chattanooga has destroyed a bat habitat.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press (http://bit.ly/16rVUkF ) reported the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agreed to allow the project to continue, but the Chattanooga Industrial Development Board must put nearly $18,000 in to a conservation fund.
As it turns out, 54 trees felled on the 30-acre tract were roosting spots for the endangered Indiana brown bat. The species has been on the endangered list since 1967.
Federal wildlife officials say fewer than 425,000 of the bats have been documented and nearly 13,000 of them are in Tennessee.
The new facility will handle storm runoff from the Volkswagen auto assembly plant and other development at the park.

CLINTON — The offices at Ashford University Field are prone to flooding when the area receives significant amount of rain on top of already elevated river levels. It's learning how to live with that flooding that must be hashed out, city and LumberKings officials decided.
The offices at the stadium, which sit at a low spot, have flooded five times in the last five years during periods when the river level was slightly elevated and the area received intense rains.
After the latest flood at the stadium, City Council members have chosen to pay for $10,300 in damage at the facility, which is city owned and leased by the Clinton LumberKings Baseball Club. Although they agreed to pay the bills, city officials don't want similar expenses in the future, sending them back to re-examine plans that will reduce the amount of flood damage.
"The real issue is the water level in Joyce's slough, as it continues to rise, basically diminishes the capacity and forces water to build up higher to get the flow out," Dave Dechant with HDR Engineering told members of the City Services Committee last week.
Dechant went on to detail the circumstances surrounding the flooding events that have occurred. When the offices flooded in July 2011, the river level was at 12.5 feet and the area experienced heavy rain in a short amount of time.
"Even with the river stage down at 12.5 feet, that 3.4 inches of rain in two to three hours overwhelmed the system. In the other events we had levels around 14 feet, but we had an inch to an inch and a half of rain," Dechant said.
According to Water Quality Superintendent Dan Riney, when river levels reach 15.3 feet and there is a significant rain, there is a chance the stadium will flood. If the flood gates had been in at that level this year they would have gone in on May 28 and still been in place today. During 2011, the gates would have been in from March 22 to Aug. 18.

Residential solar projects will double in Boston after 116 residents in various neighborhoods signed contracts to install solar projects through Solarize Mass-Boston.
However, no one in the South End decided to partake in the program, according to statistics from the Mayor's office.
Residents and businesses were offered a group buying program designed to increase interest of purchasing solar energy and reduce its cost, due to buying in bulk. The more people signed up, the more prices dropped, with 41 contracts being signed in the last week of the program.
Roslindale led the way with 33 contracts signed, followed by Dorchester with 22, and then Jamaica Plain with 21 contracts. All other neighborhoods were in single digit contracts (please see chart below for full breakdown).
Boston concluded the four-month program in early November 4, that partnered the City of Boston, the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources to make solar more accessible and affordable for Boston homeowners. The 116 contracts will result in 522 kilowatts of clean, renewable energy, according to a city press release.
"Solarize Mass-Boston was an outstanding success and helped increase Bostonians' access to the clean energy revolution," said Boston Mayor Thomas Menino in a statement. "We'll build on this success and continue to develop programs to help residents and businesses green their energy usage while reducing costs."
Menino kicked off the program by installing solar panels on his own home in Hyde Park. Menino's previously stated goal was to have 25 megawatts of solar energy in Boston by 2015, with solar being installed at residences, businesses, and municipal buildings.
Including Menino's home, Hyde Park signed nine contracts.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass.-- March 7, 2008 – The NCAA announced on Friday afternoon that six student athletes from Springfield College had qualified for the upcoming 2008 NCAA Division III Men's Swimming and Diving Championships.
The Championships will be held at Miami University's Corwin M. Nixon Aquatic Center in Oxford, Ohio. The College of Wooster will serve as the host during the weekend of March 20-22.
Concluding his career as Springfield, Roy Burch (Warwick, Bermuda) looks to make his final trip to the Championships a memorable one as he will compete in five events at the NCAA's. Burch will compete individually in the 50 freestyle, the 100 freestyle, and the 100 backstroke. In the 50 free, Burch is seeded fourth (20.54), while in the 100 free he is ranked 12th (45.49). In the 100 backstroke, the senior is seeded sixth (51.28).

I see there is a new genre called New Adult now that is supposed to bridge the gap between YA and Adult. I haven't read any of it yet, but have been wondering if there is more moral ambiguity or just more sex :p. From what I've seen, I'm thinking there's just more sex.
ETA: Since you want to know what other people think, I read 13 Reasons Why and was rather meh about it--but thought that it was a very good book for the YA market. I could see my daughter and her friends reading it and finding it powerful and meaningful. I don't remember noticing any continuity errors and I thought the book was well-written for the genre. *shrug*

I thought the film did a pretty good job of preparing me for the elasticity of Capote's truthsIn Cold Blood is an excellent book and one that is important in both the True Crime and New Journalism genres (if you like either of those, ICB is one of the greats); just be aware that Capote's insistence that it is all absolutely true is a weeeeeeee bit false.

But you're only halfway through it, right? I'm not sure you've gone far enough into it to know why Hannah killed herself yet. There's more to it than just rumors and small unkindnesses. It's also about the responsibility you bear for doing nothing when you could do something. The rumors and small unkindnesses play a role, but there is a context for them that I don't think you've gotten to yet.

I'm different than others. In Cold Blood is one of the two or three books I stopped reading after about 50-100 pages. i thought it was revolting. I will refuse to ever consider it again. My 2 cents.Going back to "classics", I recently watched the film Infamous, about Truman Capote during the time he was writing In Cold Blood. I've never read In Cold Blood, but now I'm interested. Thoughts from those who've read it?
Wandering into the book thread
What a fascinating read in itself!
A couple of weeks ago I read "The God of Small Things" http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...f_Small_Things
It truly is worth its Booker prize. So much depth, and it held my attention until the very end.
On a "lighter" note, I'm currently reading "Sidney Chambers and The Shadow of Death" by James Runcie. It's a nice read (short murder mysteries) but I think I'd enjoy it much more if it weren't about an Anglican priest - the author clearly has absolutely no understand of either the Christian faith or Anglicanism. The priest's habits and beliefs appear to be more in line with Catholicism, and his spiritual musings don't ring true.
It's a shame because there's a lot of potential - the atmosphere is great and the stories hang together.
I do hope that it will turn around by the end (as much as a book where you go into it knowing someone kills themself can turn around, anyway).
there are some other books that are considered classics that I somehow didn't read in school, and sometimes I go back and can't slog through them - because they just remind me of school even though they were never assigned to me. Huckleberry Finn is one - I bought it a few years ago and only got a third of the way through because I was a bit bored
Re: Steinbeck - I had to read The Grapes of Wrath between 10th & 11th grade and turn in a journal at the end of the summer. The previous year i'd switched to this new school, they expected me to read the drop dead boring Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, I balked and tried to BS my way through it and got a D in English for the first time in my life (just the 1st quarter). So I took this summer reading VERY seriously and documented my thoughts on TGOW in a very detailed manner. I actually enjoyed the book, but I was enraged by the ending. My teacher handed my journal back to me asking why - saying it had been a very controversial ending. I can guess why that was, but I just really hated the character of.
SpoilerRosasharn and was not interested in any redemption for her
I wonder if I still have that journal

The God of Small Things is one of my favourite books of all time. There have been many Booker winners that I've tried to read, or managed to read but couldn't get on board with all the hype. The God of Small Things is the exception to prove the rule. Once I stopped fighting the unusual narrative style, I just let the book carry me along. It was an incredible journey.
BTW, her non-fiction is also well worth reading, esp. Walking with the Comrades.
Five Things You Need to Know About Dating a Book Nerd
Number four cracked me up:
4. Want to get a book nerd's attention? Try sexting: Snapchat a picture of the book you're reading, with a steaming cup of coffee near it but not too near it on a flat, stable surface. Oh, baby… It's so hot how you respect the printed page and always take care with liquids.
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."-- Albert Einstein.
For all the "Wolf Hall" and "bringing Up The Bodies Fans"....here is some news from Great Britain. Exciting!
I really love Madam Guillotine. Read this blog all the time. Anyone who loves literature, history, art history and especially Jack the Ripper might enjoy checking in on her.
I just finished The Rosie Project and really enjoyed it. It was one of my favourites of the summer.
I read half of Reading Lolita in Tehran and was exceedingly disappointed in it. It was a gift from someone whose taste I respect, but I didn't want to read it before reading the major novels included (e.g., Lolita and The Great Gatsby), but having homework for recreational reading felt too daunting. My book club decided to read it, so I went against my instincts. Oops. I put it down after a major Great Gatsby spoiler. So frustrating. At least the discussions here about Gatsby had almost convinced me to remove it from my lifetime "to read" list, anyway.
Overall, I felt like I was missing a lot of nuance because of my unfamiliarity with the work. I guess I was hoping for something more like Nelofer Pazira's A Bed of Red Roses (memoir about living in Afghanistan during and after the 1979 invasion).
I also loved The God of Small Things, and I even read it for a class, so it had that "ugh, homework" feeling going against it. The other book from that class that I'll never forget is Train to Pakistan by Khushwant Singh. My confession is that I found Midnight's Children to be rather meh.
On a completely different note, my new guilty pleasure is Jana Deleon, thanks to Bookbub. I've finished all her non Harlequin books and am now facing the dilemma of going for those ones at $5 each. Why can't my library buy them? Sniffle.
I read somewhere that Fighting Pax, the final book in the Dancing Jax trilogy, was coming out in August, but there's no sign of an actual release date yet. I wanna know what happeeeens!
The first two books are like Harry Potter mixed with the Narnia books, seasoned with Stephen King's It. They're spellbinding, funny, dark, and - especially during one harrowing scene in the second book - quite horrific at times. Many of the characters start out as annoying, but they're all very human (one is even a Whovian!), and before you know it you'll find yourself really rooting for them. And there isn't an overabundance of romantic drama, which in my book is a plus.
I just started MaddAddam, the third book in Margaret Atwood's Orxy & Crake trilogy. I finally got around to reading the second book, The Year of the Flood, just last month, in prep for this one coming out. Glad I did so recently. While Year of the Flood takes place in the same universe as Oryx and Crake, it's not at all necessary to have read O&C to "get" Year of the Flood. However, since MaddAddam picks up immediately at the same time, place, and character POV where YotF left off, it seems fairly important to have read YotF. (Although MaddAddam does begin with a recap of both the previous books.)
BTW, although it was quite a while ago that I read Oryx & Crake, I remember thinking it was clever, but not particularly loving it. Year of the Flood, oth, I really enjoyed. Probably because the characters were more engaging. That might be because of their context in relation to the story ... or it might be because they're women. Atwood does best with female characters, imo.
Anyone read The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared? I was recommended this by someone who is supposed to be familiar with my taste. However, I've been burned before. I've lost quite a bit of respect for someone who had recommended Ayn Rand to me. I've related the incident before but I was young, naive and trusting and bought the book based on the recommendation. I found myself gagging on page 2 and sold it on amazon. She. Can't. Write.
I fit just about perfectly into the book nerd type from Prancer's link.
Anyway, any feedback on the 100 year old man? Thanks!
Oh and I am reading Proust's Remembrance of Things Past/In Search of Lost Time. It took some getting used to but now I am into it and really like it. Has anyone read it?
"Nature is a damp, inconvenient sort of place where birds and animals wander about uncooked."
from Speedy Death
If anyone here orders from Kobo, they have a promo code for 50% off (one-time only): B2S50. I used it earlier today to buy something by a new-to-me romantic suspense author.
The flashback chapters, though, I found tedious. The Gumplike quality just didn't work for me.
It is, however, pretty easy to skip those bits.
The 100-Year Old Man is going to be made into a film here in Sweden. I haven't read it, but IIRC it's topped the bestseller list here, so perhaps it works better in its original language?

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Mayor Steve Bach flipped the switch Monday evening to turn on the final street light in Colorado Springs.
It's near Academy and Constitution.
Nearly 8,000 street lights were turned off in 2009 to save money.
The next year neighborhood lights were turned back on- and this year the final 3,500 street lights came back on.
The city says it will cost about $100,000 dollars to keep them running every year.

Reviews for Rich Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake
Sort By :
Actually, I HAD made this recipe when it first came out and the recipe was delicious! It's one I have prepared & is a keeper! Dawn E. Lowenstein
Every time we make this cake for guests we get requests for the recipe.
I have made this recipe 3 times so far. It is great! It keeps really well for a week! My spouse is not crazy about nuts, so if I am making it for home, I use a streusel topping rather than the nut topping; however I prefer the nut topping. Will be added to my Christmas brunch recipes.
This is fantastic! I've made it multiple times and each time it was great. I've aslo made it using jumbo muffin tins and frozen the muffins. Tastes good after being frozen, too!
Excellent recipe! I used a bundt cake pan and the mini choloclate chips. Also, I only used about half of the specified sugar and cinnamin topping.
