Clock-skew errors in time-interleaved (TI) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) importantly degrade the linearity of such converters. These nearly constant but unknown errors, which must not be confused with random jitter, prevent TI ADCs from performing uniform sampling. This paper proposes a mixed-signal clock-skew calibration technique and explores its limitations to perform a background calibration. Compared to the existing all-digital calibration techniques, ours distinguishes itself by the simplicity of its hardware elements. On the other hand, compared to the all-analog ones, ours keeps the inherent robustness of a digital clock-skew detection. A demonstrator shows the feasibility of our technique. This demonstrator consists of two 10-bit commercial ADCs, a field-programmable gate array to implement a digital clock-skew detector, and an application-specific integrated circuit in a CMOS 0.35-mum technology to implement a digitally trimmable multiphase sampling clock generator. In this highly hostile environment of interconnected discrete components, our demonstrator can correct an initial clock skew of thousands of picoseconds with a granularity of 1.8 ps.

Join Facing History and Ourselves for an evening with Douglas Blackmon, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Slavery By Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II. This groundbreaking work delivers a searing examination of the enslavement of African-Americans that persisted deep into the 20th century. In 30 years as a journalist, Blackmon has written extensively about the American quandary of race--exploring such issues as the integration of schools in his childhood Mississippi Delta farm town, lost episodes of the Civil Rights movement and how contemporary society should grapple with a troubled past.
Facing History and Ourselves engages students in an examination of racism, prejudice, and anti-Semitism to create a more humane and informed citizenry. Students tackle essential questions of identity and choice, justice and healing, and memory and legacy.

Existential anxiety is hypothesized to be a core human issue in a great deal of theoretical and philosophical writing. However, little is known about the emergence of these concerns and their relation to emotional functioning in youth. The purpose of this study was to examine the phenomenon of existential anxiety in a sample of adolescents. Data on existential concerns, identity development and psychological symptoms were collected on a sample of 139 youth in grades 9–12. Results indicated that existential anxiety concerns have a theoretically consistent factor structure, are common among adolescents, and are associated with psychological symptoms, as well as identity issues. Results are discussed with regard to the importance of existential concerns in the lives of youth and the need for additional research.

The 668 clinical trials listed here include 406 that have not yet started recruiting patients or are just now seeking volunteers to participate and another 262 that are active, but not recruiting new patients. This information is potentially valuable to patients still seeking effective treatments for the top ten chronic diseases affecting seniors. It provides a new therapeutic option to discuss with physicians.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 11, 2013) – America's biopharmaceutical companies are using biological processes to develop 907 medicines and vaccines targeting more than 100 diseases, according to a new report released today by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA).
The report includes biologics in human clinical trials or under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration such as:
SINGAPORE (March 4, 2013) –The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) today called on nations participating in the 16th round of Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations to prioritize the protection of intellectual property, citing the critical importance of strong IP to develop innovative treatments for diseases ranging from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's to cancer and diabetes.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (February 28, 2013) – Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) Vice President of Scientific & Regulatory Affairs Sascha Haverfield issued the following statement today regarding the proposal to create a potential new drug approval pathway intended to expedite the development of new medicines for serious or life-threatening conditions that would address an unmet medical need, including medicines for serious or life-threatening infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria:
WASHINGTON, D.C. (February 21, 2013) – Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) Senior Vice President Matthew Bennett issued the following statement:
"Today's Time Magazine article focuses exclusively on costs, overlooking the tremendous value that innovative medicines deliver to patients and the health care system for only a small fraction of overall health spending. Across the spectrum of diseases, medications have significantly improved quality and length of life.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 29, 2013) –Working in collaboration with university medical schools, science centers, local hospitals and clinical research centers, America's biopharmaceutical companies have conducted 3,664 clinical trials of new medicines in Washington over the last 13 years, a new report by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) shows.
Washington, D.C. (January 17, 2013) —The biopharmaceutical pipeline is innovative and robust, with a high proportion of potential first-in-class medicines and therapies targeting diseases with limited treatment options, according to a new report released today by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA).

Mulatu Astatke's 'Ethio-Jazz' Gets A New Edge
hear the music
Cha Cha
Esketa Dance
An Epic Story
Mulatu Astatke experienced his musical conversion as a teenager while supposedly studying engineering abroad, mastering piano, vibraphone and Latin percussion in London, Boston and New York. After he returned home, he immersed himself in Ethiopian music, as well. Many of his tunes have a half-Arab feel, and are based on a pentatonic scale peculiar to the Ethiopian culture. There, he conceived a fusion he calls "Ethio-jazz."
The problem with the Ethio-jazz idea, however, is that Ethiopian musical traditions don't run especially deep. The country's music lacks the polyrhythmic complexity of the music in sub-Saharan Africa. Its first brass band was made up of Armenian orphans imported from Jerusalem in 1924. Consequently, Ethio-jazz doesn't come naturally.
For his latest release, Inspiration Information, Astatke teamed up with The Heliocentrics, an experimental funk band from England. Historically, Astatke has tended to record with conventional jazz musicians, whether Ethiopian or not. But The Heliocentrics' members aren't conventional. They push him and loosen up his sound; they add thunderous beats here and import traditional Ethiopian instruments there. Their sounds complement each other — as on the standout track "Esketa Dance," in which The Heliocentrics' horn voicings are offset by Astatke's keyboards.
Because the music of Ethiopia is more European formally than that of other African cultures, other attempts have been made at a fusion. The French jazz band Le Tigre and the English mixmaster Dubulah have both recorded Ethiopian-flavored albums. However, Inspiration Information is both the edgiest and the easiest such effort so far, striking just the right balance of funky and strange.

I've configured monit tests and alerts — but I want to make sure that everything in my alert stack (outgoing email servers, sms email gateways…) is functioning properly. Is there a handy way to fire off a dummy test alert?
I usually restart a trivial service (like ntp) that I'm monitoring in order to test the alerts.
I did find this suggestion in the mailing list archives...
It's a way to leverage the alert reminder functionality in Monit to ensure that the alert path is functioning properly. Basically, a periodic reminder. Tune the cycle to your liking and you'll be able to control the testing time.
Even easier is to just reload the config file and wait for the "Monit instance changed.."-email. Just run:

I wanted to love this, I really did.
So in full disclosure, I purchased this dress from a different boutique with a 20% off coupon, not at shopbop. We've all grown to love rory beca for their silk, flattering yet whimsical pieces, & I was sure that this dress - with it's open back and beautiful electric blue colour would be no exception. The dress is pretty, with a beautifully vibrant color, don't get me wrong.. But there's something about the drawstring and the overlay that make it look cheap. I mean really cheap. It's also structured quite strangely - large on top, tight on the bottom. I kept trying it on, hoping that I'd warm up to it, but It ended up being returned.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

What A Shame
Unfortunately, this dress isn't as nicely designed as the photos would show. I believe another reviewer commented that the material is far too thin for such a pricey dress, and they were on the money. It's a great color, don't get me wrong.. It's just not up to par with michelle mason's usual quality of clothing.

Buy A Size Up
I wear a pretty standard size 8 in most shoes, but after reading the reviews I purchased these in a 39 - glad I did. The cloth part will definitely give but the actual platform of the shoe is 100% a size 8. For all the reviews who say that these shoes are not quality - honestly for 18$ I can't really complain, so far they've held up well & saved me form spending $50 for toms.

Must have for all seasons
I now own this dress in a few colors, but I must say this is my favorite hue. This dress is great for spring and summer in sunny california and absolutely priceless with how well it works with a bulky bib necklace and some ankle boots. I will say parker in general runs on the small side, so ladies size up and be safe. I'm 5'6 120 lbs and purchased this in a large & the length is perfect. Yes the sleeves are long but that's just a part of the design, and they really don't get in my way.

Cirrhosis: Beta-Blockers for Portal Hypertension and Varices - Topic Overview
In people who have cirrhosis, portal hypertension causes many problems. One serious complication is bleeding of enlarged veins, or varices, in the digestive tract (variceal bleeding).
When the buildup of scar tissue caused by cirrhosis reduces the flow of blood through the liver, pressure may build up in the portal vein system, which filters blood from the intestines through the liver. In turn, veins in the esophagus, stomach, and rectum may enlarge to accommodate the pressure from the blocked blood flow. The walls of these expanded veins become thin and may rupture and bleed.

Read the Short Bowel Syndrome article > >
One way to prevent an episode of variceal bleeding is to lower the blood pressure in the enlarged veins. By slowing the heart rate and widening the blood vessels, beta-blocker medicines such as propranolol and nadolol appear to lower the blood pressure in varices that bypass the liver. In people who have esophageal varices, beta-blockers have been shown to reduce the risk of having a first episode of bleeding.1 They are usually prescribed for people who have moderate-to-large varices.
Beta-blockers may cause side effects that lead people to stop taking them. Common side effects can include fatigue and dizziness. Less common side effects can include asthma getting worse, nightmares, or confusion. Rapid heart rate and high blood pressure can occur if the medicine is withdrawn suddenly. Studies have shown that for people who have high-risk varices and cannot take beta-blockers because of side effects, other treatment options such as variceal banding may be a better choice.1

He was known also as an orator. He was beatified by the Catholic Church in the late 19th century.
Early life[edit]
Ancina was born on 19 October 1545, into a wealthy family of Fossano,[1] in the Duchy of Savoy, now the Province of Cuneo in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. He studied at Montpellier, Padua, Mondavi, and Turin; and graduated with degrees in both medicine and philosophy. Juvenal became an accomplished musician and man of letters. Given his talents, interests and connections, Ancina had a wide variety of career options. Initially he became a physician and then, in 1574, he accompanied his kinsman, Count Mandrucci Ancina, to Rome as the Count's personal physician. There Ancina attended the lectures in theology given by Robert Bellarmine, S.J. He also began to participate in the activities of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri.[2]
St Philip dissuaded him from joining a religious order, and he entered the Oratory on 1 October 1578, being ordained priest in June 1582.[3] Four years later he was sent to Naples to help in the establishment of an Oratory there. He proved to be effective in reaching the population both through his preaching and his musical talents.[2]
While there Ancina published the Tempio Armonico della Beatissima Vergine, a collection of spiritual songs set to a range of voices. Through his development of cultural activities at the Oratory, he drew the participation of many of the aristocracy of the city. He wrote the Oratorio dei Principi as a guide to the moral issues they faced.[2]
Ancina was called to Rome in 1596 where Pope Clement VIII told him that he wanted to make him bishop of the Diocese of Saluzzo in his homeland of Savoy. Ancina was reluctant to accept this nomination, ironically further enhancing his reputation by his notable preaching in the various places (Loreto, Cingoli, Fermo etc.) which he visited while perpetrating this evasion.[3] Ancina was eventually consecrated a bishop on the following 1 September 1602.[4] He took possession of the diocese on 6 March 1603.[2]
Ancina made a major goal of his episcopate the implementation of the directives of the recent Council of Trent. In line with this he immediately convened a synod where he laid out the methods of reform for both the clergy and the laity. He made arrangements to set a seminary to provide a higher level of knowledge and dedication in the local clergy. He gave a large emphasis to the instruction of the faithful in the teachings and beliefs of the Catholic Church, for which he introduced the use of the new Catechism drawn up by the Council. He encouraged the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. He was admired by the bishop of the neighboring diocese, Francis de Sales, who was later to establish and join an Oratorian community in his own diocese.[2]
Ancina soon died in 1604. It was his zeal which eventually led to his death — he was poisoned by a man whom he had felt obliged to discipline for visiting a convent with less than holy intent. Juvenal knew quite well who his poisoner was, but refused to testify against him, and died on 31 August 1604, aged 59.[3] He was buried in his cathedral, where his tomb is still venerated by the faithful.
On 9 February 1890 Ancina was beatified by Pope Leo XIII. His canonization is still pending. He is honored as the patron saint of Fossano, his hometown. His feast day is celebrated on 30 August.

There will be additional stories later today, but for now I realized I never linked to my flash fiction piece "Necessities", recently given its permalink place at Daily Science Fiction. They use FB for commenting, so if you like it, you can comment (belatedly) here.
Another of my stories ("As Fast As You Can," about superheroes, alchemy, the undead, and regrets) will be the featured weekend story at DSF on May 13, so if you're not signed up to get those e-mails, now's your chance! (For all that the quality is obviously somewhat erratic, I've enjoyed my 'subscription,' as it were.)

I'd pegged Iris as a dishrag from the beginning, and he was turning out to not only be kind of a coward, but a pathological bright-sider, always looking for the silver lining.
Great line. And I sure didn't see that ending coming.

Hi All,
Wow, that went super quick and It's now that time again where some of us are getting ready to break our 5 day juice fast. Some troopers have decided to keep charging, which I think is awesome dedication to healing!! No problem was ever fixed from sitting on your bum and waiting for something to magically disappear. Great work on getting proactive and taking some action. It takes a lot of guts and determination to do a juice fast, even if it's only a few days.
Me personally, I'm just about to break my fast now four hours short of five full days. That means only green juices for a total of 116 hours. While I'd like to soldier on and continue healing my body, I think it's best I break it now as I'm feeling a little weak and I'm now back to work. My job means I have a lot of running around and responsibility caring for my two autistic clients.
Ok, So What's the Best Way to Break Your Juice Fast!
How you break your juice fast is actually the most important part of your whole juice fast. Please take good care of your insides and only feed them gentle easy to digest foods until your stomach and intestine become accustomed to food again.
If you go eating animal products or a big carbohydrate meal straight after a juice fast, you risk damaging your intestines. Please stay away from all meats, wheat, dairy and any processed foods (should go without saying now).
Just remember, if you eat a bit of chocolate now or some ice-cream, you're going to set a really bad early precedent which is going to be hard to stop. In your mind you will probably be thinking, oh well I have done it now, and you will continue down that rocky road of eating junk food that is void of any nutrition. We have all been there, but now is really the time to break those toxic patterns. Junk food is not going to get your body to where you want it to be. Be strong, there are so many good healthy options out there that will satisfy you.
The best way to break the fast is with any of the following: fruit, some kefir or dairy free yoghurt, steamed vegetables, veggie soup, raw salad, broth or a healthy smoothie.
Avoid any oils or vinegar on salads until normal bowel movements start occurring again. Avoid nuts, butters and other fats.
Make sure the quantity of food you eat are small, not a huge plate of food and always eat slowly and chew your food well.
Fruits are awesome to break a fast but are going to be troublesome for most of us because of the fructose (fruit sugars), so it's probably not the best idea to break you fast with these, especially if you're in the early stages of your healing. If you have done sufficient healing some low sugar fruits should be ok. Only you will know where you're at, be true to yourself and stay away from foods that you know your body will react to.
Two days of eating the above mentioned foods should kick your digestion back into gear and get your enzymes flowing. After this you start to introduce some foods, but still remain vigilant. Hopefully now you are on the health food wagon and it won't be a problem
Day 5 Post coming shortly
Ps. Just because the Juice Fast is finished doesn't mean you have to stop drinking green juices. Drink them for long enough and you will start craving them. Stick with em!
Have a great day/night

"My name is Chloe Saunders. I'm 15, and I would love to be normal. But normal is one thing I'm not. For one thing, I'm having these feelings for a certain anti-social werewolf and his sweet-tempered brother - who just happens to be a sorcerer - but, between you and me, I'm leaning toward the werewolf.
"Not normal. My friends and I are also on the run from an evil corporation that wants to get rid of us - permanently. Definitely not normal.
"And finally, I'm a genetically altered necro-mancer who can raise the dead, rotting corpses and all, without even trying. As far away from normal as it gets."
Also included is a sneak listen to the first chapter of the Darkness Rising series. Enjoy!

"it's a great YA series"
Chloe being the least likely to save someone and being the one who does.I didn't like that there wasn't alot of conversation between the characters.
When Derek finally changed.
She was great at sounding like a young girl and had a clear voice.
yes it was well-paced and had alot of action scenes.
Such an amazing series! Love the flow of this book, and kept me on the edge of my seat! Worth the listen as the narrator is amazing as well!
"can't wait for book 4"
book was very good couldn't stop reading I love these kind of books story always kept you wanting more of the story
Kelley Armstrong is just awesome... The first book of hers I stumbled upon was The Gathering, and it was such a good book I was upset to learn it was not a finished series yet. I did find, that the book was kind of a spin off series from some of her other books, so I bought them all. :) I loved all of them, and although this is my least favorite series done by Kelley Armstrong, its still a great series.
"Conclusion to Trilogy Will Leave You Wanting More"
This was the first book of the series that I ended up listening to all in one sitting...and there were some moments in the book that had my heart pounding from excitement. Chloe's story picks up during this book - this book covers about 48 hours of time, instead of a week or so, as with the previous novels. The relationships that Chloe has with her fellow escapees, as well as their guardian figures is picked up and turned on it's head in this novel. Things are not always what Chloe expects, which often leaves both her and the reader surprised by the turn of events. Chloe, as a person, has continually grown stronger throughout the books, but in this novel, she also seems to become a much more insightful and introspective character. Her romantic life also starts experiencing some action (instead of just veiled illusions to romance, as with the previous books). All in all, I think that this was a strong conclusion to the trilogy - which left lots of open ends for possible follow-ups. I cannot wait to hear how this group of characters stories end and only hope that Armstrong gets around to telling it soon.
"love it!!"
It is amazing I. And love this compared to others because she isn't like other characters it pulled me into its tale and I couldn't stop!
The plot was my favorite part with everything I love in each story!
It surprised me her voice I liked it but she sounded to young (yes I know it is the point but still!) She is a very good reader I love it.
I loved the part when he changed into a wolf and Derek and Chloe play before getting jumped.
this is highly recommend
"Enjoyed It"
Not the most captivating book, but it was fun to listen to.
"Want more!"
Most of the loose ends were tied up here but I see a possiblity for more.... Maybe a story where Chloe is an adult?
Anyway, I enjoyed the series!

Texas Land Commissioner David Dewhurst doesn't want the tragedy in New Mexico repeated in the Lone Star State.
On Friday, he said he wouldn't allow the Longhorn pipeline to pump gas through the state until safety and health regulations have been met. Dewhurst said the pipeline, which is owned by Dallas-based Longhorn Partners Pipeline, is eerily similar to the one that exploded earlier this month in New Mexico.
On Thursday, Dewhurst met with National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Jim Hall at the site of the deadly blast near Carlsbad, N.M. Eleven people, including five children, were killed and another was critically injured Aug. 19 when a pipeline owned by El Paso Energy Co. blew up along the Pecos River. A preliminary investigation into the tragedy found corrosion in one section of the pipe.
The two pipelines are about 50 years old, and both pass through densely populated regions.
Longhorn Partners Pipeline wants to pump gas from refineries in Houston through the Edwards Aquifer, neighborhoods in Austin and Houston, and on to El Paso. The pipeline hasn't been used since 1995.
Dewhurst said the General Land Office will talk with federal officials about how much of the Longhorn pipeline will need to be replaced and whether part of the pipe will need to be moved to bypass certain critical areas.
Dewhurst should be commended for being proactive concerning the Longhorn pipeline and for putting the safety and welfare of Texans first. Here's hoping the necessary steps will be taken by Longhorn Pipeline Partners and federal and state authorities to prevent the unnecessary deaths of any more unsuspecting residents in a senseless pipeline mishap.

Are there any tools that would help with reading software requirement documents that contain a mix of domain specific and company specific acronyms and jargon. In particular I was looking for a tool that would allow me to view Acrobat or Microsoft Word documents and make it easier to understand acronyms and other jargon. This could be done by displaying a popup window or tooltip with an explanation of the acronym or jargon when I click on the acronym / jargon. The actual explanations would be provided to the tool in text format.
For example consider the following text:
Currently, there is a MPY-NFU tab in the range window. To support changes required by FCR_MPADS_049 (Interface with BJT) and FCR_MPADS_054 (Interface with NED), the MPY-NFU tab will be replaced with two tabs: * The "FFD" Tab – Allows the eligible operator to view and edit OPUBMs (Other, GEB) and create, view and edit FFD (Free Format Data) * The "NFU" tab – Allows the eligible operator to view NFU information.
This paragraph contains 5 acronyms and couple of phrases that could be considered jargon (for example eligible operator). With limited domain/company/product knowledge, this paragraph doesn't make sense. To understand the meaning, I have to look up and search through the acronym list (which is not part of the actual document) and guess at the meaning. This may take 20 minutes of my time, compared to 20 seconds for someone that is familiar with all the acronyms. With a good tool, I can imagine cutting the reading and understand time from 20 minutes down to about 2 minutes - order of magnitude saving.
Having a tool (preferably free) that makes acronyms and jargon easier to deal with would really improve our productivity and make the task of dealing with these software requirement documents much more enjoyable. Any suggestions, I imagine this would be a common problem.

I've got two monitors set up. Monitor two is currently extending my desktop area. Both are running with a resolution of 1440x900.
What I would like to do is treat the monitors like just one super wide monitor. Is there a way to treat it as if my desktop was 2880x900? I just don't want it to treat the monitors as two separate screens as opposed to just one giant one.

Ok i tried the installing another GFWL game and the logging into another Passport ID,
but NOTHING worked
i finally found the location of the save files
theres several files here which i deleted all to make it work,
but obviously if you have previously done alot of the game, you dont simply want to delete them.
So i experiment, through trail and error, deleting some, then seeing if i could stay logged in and enter the game.
My results? Seems like deleting anything will get you through!!
The files P_2651226209209405_0 to P_2651226209209405_5 are the save slots 1-6.
I originaly left the globals, but looks like doesnt matter if delete or not, some time deleting will give better odds of getting into the game.
So, how do you get into the game::
Go to C:\Users\YOURuserNAME\AppData\Roaming\Ludia\Waldo
and delete all files,
OR keep the relevant save data slot ie
Open 'Games for Windows Marketplace'
OR 'Games Explorer' and launch 'Where's Waldo'
When get past the splash, close the sign in window in game,
goto 'Options' disable 'Fullscreen' (Sometimes seemed to help)
Now hit 'LIVE' and sign in.
It will still freeze/hang a bit, your see GFWMarketoplace symbol appear in the bottom of the taskbar.
Quickly excape the Sign in navigation at the top once signed in. 9/10 times it will work, sign in and bring up the friends list etc nav bar. Ive found leaving this up for too long still crashes to desktop, but exiting it and clicking on the Singleplayer menu seemed to keep it going.
You dont have to have it windowed but found it helped.
Also you will have to do this each time you play the game, deleting etc.
You can use more than one slot, ive copied 2 over but delete all other files and some how works.
Sorry for long post, im no expert. I just found this worked for me after 4 hours of trying everyone elses meathods with nothing working >_<

Boeing said its flight of a 787 on Friday will wrap up the testing for its fix of the battery problems that have kept the plane grounded.
The flight took off at 10:39 a.m. Pacific time from Paine Field in Everett, Wash., according to FlightAware.
The flight is the certification test for a new battery system. The test was "to demonstrate that the new system performs as intended during normal and non-normal flight conditions," Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel said in a written statement.
The 787 Dreamliner has been grounded since January because of smoldering batteries, including a fire on the ground in Boston. Boeing has designed what it says is a fix, including more heat insulation and a battery box designed so that any meltdown of the lithium-ion battery will vent the hot gases outside of the plane.
On March 12, the Federal Aviation Administration approved Boeing's plan to test the redesigned battery system, and Friday's flight test was the final part of that plan. The flight was to demonstrate the battery fix for the FAA.
The same plane, built for LOT Polish Airlines, flew on Monday in a pre-delivery check flight, where pilots did things like raise and lower the landing gear and ran backup systems.
The FAA will still need to approve the results and certify the battery system before airlines can fly 787s again. Fifty 787s owned by eight airlines have been grounded worldwide. Boeing has said it will install the battery fix on those planes first, and then on the 787s it has continued to build while the planes have been grounded.
The root cause of the battery problems still isn't known. Boeing executives have said that other airplane problems have been fixed without understanding exactly what caused them.

When this popular prison drama was released in 1994, some critics complained that the movie was too long (142 minutes) to sustain its story. Those complaints miss the point, because the passage of time is crucial to this story about patience, the squeaky wheels of justice, and the growth of a life-long friendship. Only when the film reaches its final, emotionally satisfying scene do you fully understand why writer-director Frank Darabont (adapting a novella by Stephen King) allows the story to unfold at its necessary pace, and the effect is dramatically rewarding. Tim Robbins plays a banker named Andy who's sent to Shawshank Prison on a murder charge, but as he gets to know a life-term prisoner named Red (Morgan Freeman), we realize there's reason to believe the banker's crime was justifiable. We also realize that Andy's calm, quiet exterior hides a great reserve of patience and fortitude, and Red comes to admire this mild-mannered man who first struck him as weak and unfit for prison life. So it is that The Shawshank Redemption builds considerable impact as a prison drama that defies the conventions of the genre (violence, brutality, riots) to illustrate its theme of faith, friendship, and survival. Nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture, Actor, and Screenplay, it's a remarkable film that signaled the arrival of a promising new filmmaker--a film that many movie lovers count among their all-time favorites. --Jeff Shannon --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.See all Product Description

Video: I have owned this movie in all the formats ever released, the original DVD, the 10th Anniversary Edition and now this one. Yes this one by far is the best. The helicopter shots of the prison and its yards are simply gorgeous. I found the picture to be a little too smooth in some close up shots but sitting 6-10 feet away I doubt if anyone will notice that. The colors pallet is very consistent and gives us very little to complain. Warner's 1080p/VC-1 encode presented in 1.85:1 aspect ratio is a wonderful upgrade for the previous owners of the movie who have upgraded to HDTV sets.
Audio: Dolby TrueHD 5.1 is perfectly balanced. From the dialogue to sobbing, screams & whispers the sound is crystal clear. There are no action sequences and Bourne Trilogy type chases in this movie, so the soundtrack and the level of its loudness leaves very little to be desired.
Final Words: From "When those bars slam home, you know its for real" to "Get busy livin' or Get busy Dyin'" this movie is what true Hollywood cinema is all about. From being a box office failure to a moderate success (when it got 7 academy nominations) this epic has turned in to a must watch movie in Home Video history.Read more ›
This steelbook only contains the blu-ray version of the film (no DVD copy, no digital copy, etc). The 1080p picture quality is superb and the 5.1 Dolby TrueHD track is excellent. This release also contains a strong amount of special features (director's commentary, making-of features, interviews, etc.).
Overall, I can easily recommend this blu-ray steelbook.
The story is about an innocent man (Tim Robbins) sentenced to life in prison - well, two life sentences, actually. He forms a friendship with a fellow-inmate named Red (Morgan Freeman) and uses his own natural resources to create a life for himself. The film does differ from the source material in several ways. Ironically, because of the shortness of King's story, more is put-in than taken-out. The ending is changed slightly, but it works for the screen. The message of the film (and the book) is that hope springs eternal. "Either get busy living or get busy dying." Considering the enduring popularity of the piece, it seems most people opt for the former.
But Freeman is not alone. Tim Robbins plays the hero of the story, banker Andy Dufresne, who has been falsely convicted of murdering his wife and her lover. Robbins has a unique quality as an actor in that he lends ever so slightly a bemused irony to the characters he plays. It is as though part of him is amused at what he is doing. I believe this is the best performance of his career, but it might be compared with his work in The Player (1992), another excellent movie, and in Mystic River (2003) for which he won an Oscar as Best Supporting Actor.
It is said that every good story needs a villain, and in the Bible-quoting, Bible-thumping, massively hypocritical, sadistic Warden Samuel Norton, played perfectly by Bob Gunton, we have a doozy. I want to tell you that Norton is so evil that fundamentalist Christians actually hate this movie because of how precisely his vile character is revealed. They also hate the movie because of its depiction of violent, predatory homosexual behavior (which is the reason the movie is rated R).Read more ›

Pesto Cheese Blossom (Paula Deen)
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 1 hr
This is a recipe from Paula Deen. I made it for a New Year's party and everyone raved. It makes a beautiful presentation when sliced. *Changed to add an additional 8 oz pkg of cream cheese per Home-By-Dawn's review. Thank you!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (8 ounce) packagesliced provolone cheese
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
- 20 pistachios, shelled
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1⁄2 cup fresh basil leaf
- 1⁄2 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1⁄2 cup pine nuts
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
- Line a medium bowl with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang to cover the top.
- Reserving 3 slices of provolone, line the bottom and sides of the bowl with remaining provolone, overlapping slices.
- For the cream cheese layer, process the cream cheese, pistachios, and 1 garlic clove in a food processor until blended; scrape the mixture into a bowl and set aside.
- For the pesto layer, process the basil, parsley, pine nuts and the remaining garlic clove in the food processor until blended.
- Dissolve the salt and pepper in the olive oil and mix well.
- With the machine running, add the oil in a fine stream.
- Scrape this mixture into a second bowl and set aside.
- For the tomato layer, drain the tomatoes, reserving the oil.
- Puree the tomatoes with a small amount of the reserved oil in a food processor.
- Spread some of the cream cheese mixture over the cheese slices lining the bowl.
- Layer the pesto mixture, half of the remaining cream cheese mixture, the sun-dried tomato mixture and then remaining cream cheese mixture in the bowl.
- Cover with remaining provolone.
- Bring edges of the plastic wrap together over the top and secure with a twist tie.
- *Freeze until firm to the touch.
- Remove the plastic wrap and invert the mold onto a serving platter.
- To serve, slice thinly and serve with party crackers.
- This will keep in the refrigerator for up to three months.
- *Note:Original recipe says to freeze until firm, but I wasn't sure how that would work out.
- I just froze for about an hour until it was firm enough to unmold.
- Can be store easily in the refrigerator.

Great presentation and really yummy! I did not freeze it, keeps the shape well anyway.
This recipe is FANTASIC! We've made it many times for family, friends, co-workers. Everyone raves about it, no exceptions! I recommend following the recipe as is. Substituting the pesto or sun-dried tomatoes is just a crime! We serve it with rice crackers (gluten allergy) and they are perfect for letting the fantastic flavors of this dish shine.
I've made this several times. I've made it as the recipe calls, but have substituted as well. You can easily use walnuts instead of pine nuts. Regardless how you make it, I suggest placing it on a lovely dish and making the first cut BIG to show off the inside. Place a little on a cracker and leave it there - Once someone tastes it - They're hooked! NOTE: I would like to add that the Paula Deen's original recipe calls for 2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese. Makes a big difference! http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/pesto-cheese-blossoms-recipe/index.html

Audie Award Nominee, Romance, 2013
Daughter of a cold, controlling mother and an anonymous donor, studious, obedient Elizabeth finally let loose one night, drinking too much at a nightclub and allowing a strange man's seductive Russian accent to lure her to a house on Lake Shore Drive. The events that followed changed her life forever.
Twelve years later, the woman now known as Abigail Lowery lives alone on the outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks. A freelance programmer, she works at home designing sophisticated security systems. Her own security is supplemented by a fierce dog and an assortment of firearms. She keeps to herself, saying little, revealing nothing. Unfortunately, that seems to be the quickest way to get attention in a tiny southern town.
The mystery of Abigail Lowery intrigues local police chief Brooks Gleason, on both a personal and a professional level. Her sharp, logical mind, her secretive nature, her unromantic viewpoints leave him fascinated but frustrated. He suspects that Abigail needs protection from something, even if he doesn't know what - and that her elaborate defenses hide a story that must be revealed.
Accustomed to two-bit troublemakers, Gleason is about to walk into the sights of very powerful and dangerous men. And Abigail Lowery, who has built a life based on security and self-control, is at risk of losing both.

"Classic Nora - Outstanding!!!!"
This is one of the best single titles from Nora ever....I was engrossed within the first 10 minutes - couldn't turn it off - listened straight through to the end. My idea of a perfect book is when the last couple of paragraphs are read/heard - you give that sigh of satisfaction from reading/hearing a great book! I highly recommend this one...
Give me water to swim and surf in. That with a glass of white wine and the sun. That's heaven.
I will definately listen to The Witness again, if not possible 3 or 4 times due to the fact that it is written and preformed at such a level that it's a pure joy to listen to.
The Witness in basically quite incomparable. The closest I can think of is Nora Roberts "Chasing Fire". I have listened to "Chasing Fire" four times because it dramatizes the simplicity of the way a man and woman can be drawn together on a permanant level when they never saw that coming. The Witness goes from suspence, to murder to humor and back to suspense again. The story is anything if not totally interesting and a pure joy to listen too.
I can't begin to express hoiw very much Julia Whelan bring tlhe story to live with her dramatization of the different characters. If I were to simply read a hard copy, I would miss the little nuances of humor and pauses for suspense that Julia Whelan weaves into the dialoge of the characters. You couldn't have picked anyone better to narrate this book..
I had a very extreme reaction while listening to this book, in the way it was written causing me to laugh at qluite a bit of it. I had thought I would just listen to a few chapters and then go to bed. I was so drawn into the story that I hated to leave it to go to bed. It was just simply a book to listen to for total pleasure.
I've been an avid reader since I was a child. I love different types of writing styles and I am never afraid to try new authors.
"A great book"
Over the last few years I have forgotten what made me fall in love with Nora Roberts books 15 years ago. This book reminds me of why I love her books. Abigail is a survivor and I really fell in love with her strength. Brooks was an amazing perfect match for Abigail. Strong enough to let Abigail be strong and not let it diminish him. This is one of her best books.
"Now, this Book needs to become a series!"
I haven't enjoyed a book so much in a long time. The main character, Elizabeth/Abigail, is delightful. I am a total geek and I often live like a hermit, although it is more difficult now that I'm married... But, I am familiar with the social dysfunction of this character. You really don't need a super high IQ, be a programmer or high tech to be someone with limited social skills, but it does seem to follow. Elizabeth was raised in a dysfunctional home, she suffers a traumatic experience and must survive alone without any support other than her own wits. Her inability to communicate is endearing, she is honest and sincere in her attempts to keep up her walls. When she falls in love, we are taken away with her like a leaf floating in a stream, the current is fast, slow, she hits a few edies and gets slammed into a rock or two.
I haven't read Nora Roberts for awhile, the reviews have been enough to keep me away. I admit I wasn't expecting a good read but the character resonated with me. I am very satisfied and hope Nora Roberts doesn't shy away from a trilogy or even a series, she has a real winner here. This community of characters contain endless possibilities for future books.
I already miss the characters and will listen again today. I often enjoy books by listening more than a few times, some are just a familiar listen while restless or gardening or yes, programming! But I rarely start listening, days after the first listen!
A mom, a wife, a friend, a happy ending addict, an audiobook junkie, a wine lover and geek wanna -be. I'm constantly looking to be blown away.
The only reason I'm not giving this book 5 stars all around is because I like a little more heat in my readings/listens, but wow! I'm so glad I gave Nora Roberts another shot. I loved the heroine in this book!
After having been raised by "Mommie Dearest" and at 16-years-old becoming the solo witness that could bring down the Russian Mafia, it was a trip to see her emotional growth, survivable and finally her triumph.
Don't get me wrong, there's romance, a very sweet romance; the hero was just the perfect supportive (loved him too) character for Liz and the story.
Julia Whelan was amazing!! Fantastic narration! Her portrayal of 16-year-old Liz's was right on target, and equally fantastic was her interpretation of 28-years-old Abigail.
Her command of the different accents and voices was impressive and a tremendous show of her talent.
Excellent performance.
Sensuality: Warm
I am an avid "reader"- I prefer to listen to books rather than read them due to the added dimension added by the narrator.
"What a fabulous book"
A combination of character development and a wonderful narrator made this book especially enjoyable. Elizabeth was a most unusual character and her metamorphosis was quite natural and well-done.
My favourite characters were Elizabeth and Sunny. It was fascinating to see the effect that Elizabeth's upbringing had on her personality. The window into life with an edetic memory was fascinating. I also especially enjoyed Brooks, and felt that the narrator did an excellent job with the male voices in this production.
I can't say, as it would ruin the book for those reading this review.
I think the moment when Elizabeth discovered that she was able to feel and love was particularly moving, given her abusive upbringing.
This book grabbed me so quickly and completely that I listened to it almost continuously with the exception of one night's sleep! That has never happened to me before. Well done Nora!
"A superb addition to an excellent body of work!"
I love Nora Roberts' work. She really excels in character development, and that is probably my favorite part of any book. In this one, she writes a very different kind of leading lady. Liz is a highly intelligent, literal-minded young lady with very little "real world" experience. She reminds me a bit of the TV version of Temperance Brennan, but in a very extreme way. She's so literal that it's funny. A very enjoyable read!
I value intelligent stories with characters I can relate to. I can appreciate good prose, but a captivating plot is way more important.
"Gripping, funny, and satisfying"
This is my first experience with Nora Roberts, and I'm very impressed. This story had me captivated early on, an held my attention throughout. I loved the diverse and well-crafted characters, as well as the clever dialog.

"Roberts version of Dragon Tattoo protagonist"
Since the "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo",strong intelligent tech/geek women have been the female protagonist do jour.... I guess it's no surprise that Roberts has her own entry...in the form of Lizzy ( aka Abagail), a young woman with Mensa level intelligence who, as a teen,accidentally connects with the Russian mob, goes into witness protection, escapes the bad guys and is on the run from everyone for a decade.` etc etc etc.
This same type of woman shows up in "The Informationist ",( Audibles listeners choice award) and "The Breach" a sci-fi trilogy with similar female lead. Each of these 4 female protagonists is quite similar, they all have amazing computer programming and hacking abilities, are Chuck Norris with martial arts and Jack Reacher with knowledge of firepower . I wonder how many more versions of this clone will appear in novels to come......
The plot and character development are much improved over what Roberts has been phoning in the past several years--I've been picking them up at the used book store and have read just one book of the last 2 trilogy series due to negative reviews and personal experience with the initial book. I'm pleased that she put more effort into this book.
Roberts knows her readers, and knows what they want so even though this lead character is slightly different than her usual-still her writing remains the same. This time it's a more w take charge female protagonist and equally strong male protagonist who wants to take care of his little woman and bad guys who have chased after Lizzy (Abagail) since she was 17.
And while loyal readers will enjoy the better quality over the past couple of works, still this is a definite rip off of the Dragon Tattoo (minus the tattoo) main character. Still the writing is tight and crisp and plot is not quite predictable. It held my interest more than the last 2 trilogies did and worth the credit for those of us who appreciate Roberts when she's writing well.
Julia Whelan gives a very nice reading of the novel, bringing it to life and doing a good job of male characters voices...not overly dramatic or soapy.
All in all an above average listen to typical Roberts writing and plot.
Gardening Geek
"Well researched, utterly enthralling"
Can't believe that after scribing over 200 novels Nora Roberts has still written such a quality book. I've only read one three-book series of hers, which I infinitely enjoyed, but the writing in this one was eons better. Part of it was due to the excellent narration (her male voices so well done I thought perhaps there were two readers), but her dialogue has matured surprising well since those earlier books. I'm totally impressed with the research she does on her topics. As well as gardening was portrayed in her earlier series, computer hacking and police investigations came alive as if I were watching a documentary. I'm a computer technician, so can vouch for the authenticity of the way she wrote about hacking and programing - it was quite entertaining for me - the law enforcement plot turns I fear are accurate as well, and the Russian mafia, well I've no experience, thank goodness with them, but she's made me quite glad I haven't.
Her main character, Elizabeth was deftly drawn. She grew and changed throughout the story and her possibly unbelievable or even unforgivable actions in the end became totally understandable, even welcomed. So rarely do we get to rectify past wrongs and give the bad guys their comeuppance! That's one of the pleasures good fiction can occasionally offer - the satisfying fantasy!
It's too bad she's relegated to the Romance genre, nothing against that form of novel, but it will deter so many others from reading her books which are so much better written with far more complex characters and plots than most of the other romance novels that I've read (ok only a few sampled, but enough to keep me away from that genre until someone talked me into reading the In The Garden series.)
Roberts wrote so convincingly about law enforcement that I'll probably always question the validity of their actions as reported in the press. As a matter of fact, there was just such a story in the news about an additional possible suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing. It so echoed the story line of The Witness, as far as the FBI shooting a suspect during questioning, with no witnesses to the supposed knife attack of agent by the suspect, that I'm now suspicious as to what really went down and why. I'll never be able to take these sorts of headline stories at face value again. And I thank Nora Roberts for that, because we should always question before passing blithe judgement in these situations.
I very much recommend The Witness—fast moving, illuminating, with endearing characters for whom you root until the last page.
"Pulls you in."
The is the first time I have read Nora Roberts and was unsure what to expect. The story pulled me in from the beginning and I was hooked. I love the way the main character grew and developed throughout the story in a way that feels as if you really know her. Beautifully read by Julia Whelan - a great modern crime story where good prevails.
"Classic Nora Roberts"
I have to admit that I am a Nora Roberts fan so I always enjoy her books. This is one of the best so far and the plot has some unexpected twists and turns. It does take longer than usual to set up the background for the heroine but it all makes sense and adds some depth to the story. Very good narration makes the setting and the story come alive. I would recommend this to existing fans and it would also make a great introduction to Nora Roberts' contemporary romance style.
"Excellent and enthralling read"
I bought this as something to listen to on the sun lounger by the pool but it is so much better than my usual holiday lstening / reading! It moves from thriller to romance with a good twist to the story at the end. Highly recommended
"Couldn't stop listening"
I could easily imagine what the author was describing. And I wanted to not to stop following the story until Iwas through. A bit predictable love story development. The man is so dreamy and honest and good and in love straight away. Oh well we all need some doze of hope. And the main character obviously deserves a good family. Being a native Russian speaker, must say - Russian words that are used are accurate and the pronunciation is very clear and understandable.
Would certainly recommend to a fan of this genre.
"The Witness Nora Roberts"
I really enjoyed this book the main character is very endearing and likeable and right from the start you care and worry about her. It is well narrated as Julia Whelan has a very pleasant voice to listen to. It leaves you guessing what will happen right until the end and I would definitely recommend this book.
"Very Good"
If you want an easy read this book is for you. Enjoyable and believable.
"A good story-great narration"
This is not a book I would usually buy or read. But I really enjoyed its steady pace and it was a good book from the start
"From suspense into romance"
The first half of The Witness is so thrilling that the five stars seem self evident. But then the novel develops into a rather bleak romance without even a chill. A great pity, but this blend of romance and thriller seems to be the new hallmark to Nora Roberts
"Enjoyed this, just remove the "erbs"
Really quite enjoyed this, first time I have read a Nora Roberts, very well read. Good story, really got into it, just found the descriptions of the couple of sexual encounters totally unnecessary for the book, as was the long descriptions of what she was cooking and what she was cooking with, especially the number of times "erbs seemed to be used, not sure when the "h" disappeared from this word. Would definately read another
I am writing this review in the moments after the book has finished. I loved it, the characters, the twists and turns of the storyline. It was a fantastic listen/read. How will I cope with it being over?
Julia Whelan's narration was fantastic. Such a versatile voice, she captured perfectly each of the wide range of chacters.
At the end, I felt full of emotion. The ending was perfect, but I'm not going to give it away.
If you like superbly written crime and romance, just buy it. It has the best of both.
