"[A] translucent novel of passion, illusion and social class....slyly witty and luminous."
—Francine Prose in O, The Oprah Magazine
During working hours, Mario is a dutiful bureaucrat, scrupulously earning his paycheck as an employee of the provincial Spanish town where he lives. But when he walks through the door of his apartment, he is transformed into the impassioned lover of Blanca, the beautiful, inscrutable wife he saved from the brink of personal crisis. For the love of Blanca, Mario eats sushi and carpaccio, nods in feigned understanding at experimental films, sits patiently through long conversations with her avant-garde friends, and conceals his disgust at shocking art exhibits.
Then, little by little, a strange and ominous threat begins to weigh on the marriage.
How can love survive its own disappearance? The desperate answer that Antonio Muñoz Molina proposes in this short, circular novella is a model of literary strategy and style, a splendid homage to Flaubert.
Editorial Reviews
The Washington Post
Propelled by an ironic sense of foreboding, this clever, circular account of the unraveling of a strained marriage follows Mario, a Spanish civil servant who thrives on routine, after he becomes convinced his wife, Blanca, has deserted him and left in her place an impostor. Mario blames himself for not paying closer attention to his beloved in happier times, but his more pointed regret centers around Lluís Onésimo, a "villainous multimedia artist" whose arrival in their small city of Jaén, Mario believes, doomed his marriage. Blanca, a longtime art lover, became fixated on Lluís and his art, the latest in a long line of Blanca's artists du jour. Indeed, Blanca's many small disappointments-a missed Frida Kahlo exhibition in Madrid, Mario's crude table manners, her boredom with mundane surroundings that she claims only "mental bureaucrats" could tolerate-have their roots in their divergent backgrounds-he grew up poor and has no use for the art scene; she comes from a background of privilege. In spare, well-crafted prose and through subtle suggestions, Molina delivers a taut investigation of romantic attachment that draws readers into an eerie spiral of suspicion where the line between questionable perceptions and reality is never quite clear. (July)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information
This is a simple story-Mario and Blanca are married opposites. She's from the art community, while his response to art is physical: Antoni Tàpies "inspired a mixture of weary sorrow and heartburn." Though Mario's devotion to someone he considers his superior can lead nowhere but where it does-an obsessive panic that Blanca is leaving him-Molina is deft in building the anxiety and bookends the novel with a tumbling, lyrical surrealism usually found in shorter pieces. Two of Molina's novels have won his native Spain's Premio Nacional de Literatura, and the English translation of Sepharadwon the 2004 PEN/Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize. He has been well served by his current translator, who paraphrases writer Colm Toibín when she comments, "The world's richest language, in economic terms-English-is also one of its most impoverished when it comes to taking in the literary wealth that exists beyond it." This well-written and evocative story is a good way to expand your library's collection of international writers.
Kristin Thiel
"In this gem of a novella, Antonio Muñoz Molina deftly chronicles the trajectory of a failing marriage as a bureaucrat in a small town in south-central Spain struggles continually to win the affections of his discontented wife...In Her Absence is a stylish romance novella whose only enigma is the identity of 'the woman who was not Blanca.' A perfect gateway to Muñoz Molina's other works, In Her Absence will hopefully be the second in a string of English translations."
O, The Oprah Magazine
"[A] translucent novel of passion, illusion and social class...Ultimately, this slyly witty and luminous book (beautifully translated by Esther Allen) reveals itself as an inspired meditation on identity and illusion, culture and social class, and on what it means for a man to love a woman so much that he cannot imagine livingand indeed cannot livewithout her."
Entertainment Weekly
Daniel Nemet-Nejat
"Mario, a bureaucrat in a provincial Spanish town, suspects that his pampered, emotionally unstable wife has been replaced by an impostor, one who is more accommodating and affectionate than his real spouse. The setup is delicious half borscht-belt joke, half Beckett...Mario's contortions to win and keep Blanca feigning interest in avant-garde culture, skipping work to clean and cook for her, and watching his every move offer a wry, fresh take on the games people play in order to keep love alive."
Is she Blanca, or not?
Washington Times
"Mr. Munoz Molina energizes every bit of every page with telling detail in a manner that recalls Flaubert's "Madame Bovary." Not a single word is wasted, and a reader aches for Mario who, in addition to being a virile, committed and decent man, cannot understand his wife's distance. Blanca's discontent is similar to Emma Bovary's, but it is an unease that has been updated to the 1980s and tweaked to include mystery and metaphysics...Long after the pages of this stunning little book end — much the way it began with Mario again faced with a woman who "looked so much like [Blanca]" — it is hard not to think of what becomes of the couple. Mr. Munoz Molina, twice the winner of Spain's prestigious Premio Nacional de Literartura prize, skillfully leads the reader to the story's conclusion but does not tip his hand. The pleasure of this deeply felt mystery of a book depends on what cannot be known with certainty. "

Kirkus Reviews
A celebrated Spanish author contemplates identity and desire in this smartly amusing novella...A sly, supremely stylish entertainment.
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
"Muñoz, who shares some of Flaubert's feel for class distinctions and cultural pretensions, is one of Spain's most admired writers, and Esther Allen's fluid translation serves him well, conveying his deceptively spare style, sly wit and eye for telling details. Just don't expect a resolution of the mystery at the center of this book. It hangs in the air like Blanca's cigarette smoke: persistent, seductive, suffocating"
ForeWord Magazine
Erica Wright
At its best (Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Salman Rushdie, Angela Carter), magical realism lures in its readers, making the impossible seem merely improbable. Antonio Muñoz Molina's novella, In Her Absence, is a supreme example of this technique. The mystery of the story—whether Mario's wife, Blanca, has been replaced by someone identical—seems far-fetched and simultaneously believable. No, his real wife would never paint her toenails, and no, she would never watch soap operas. Flimsy evidence becomes convincing when placed in the thoughts of Mario, the most diligent—if not downright obsessive—husband imaginable.
In Her Absence is an untraditional love story not only because one of the lovers seems to have been replaced by a clone. Despite several years of marriage, Mario woos Blanca with the care of a newly infatuated man. He chews quietly, listens to music he doesn't like, rushes home from work. Before Blanca's possible disappearance, he was smug because "he alone had the privilege of desiring beyond all other women the precise woman he had married, and the absolute certainty that when he opened the door of his house, he would find her there." Of course, this certainty is demolished when he comes home to find Blanca and her suitcase missing. And when someone identical to Blanca comes in several hours later, Mario's blind love has been replaced by suspicion.
There is a subtlety to Molina's writing that allows multiple themes to weave in and out without seeming heavy-handed. In Her Absence hints at being a warning against marrying above oneself. Blanca is part of the artistic set, a group that looks down on non-artists in general and bureaucrats particularly. However, Mario, something of a bureaucrat himself, at times looks down on Blanca's interest in trendy artists. When his rival Onésimo enters the story and Blanca fawns over him, Mario thinks, "If you loved me, I'd make sure you never lost your self-respect." Indeed, perhaps it is Blanca's distance, not Mario's, from the intelligentsia that is the real misfortune. And although Mario misses his fastidious wife, the new one who kisses passionately and smokes a cigarette before washing the dishes, is in many ways an improvement.
Molina's talent for subtlety has had time to develop. The author of thirteen books, Molina is ranked among the most important living writers in Spain. For this novella, he is matched by his translator, Esther Allen, who has translated Javier Marías and Jorge Luis Borges among others. This team brought to life a mystery that is perhaps best left unsolved. It is the absence of answers as much as the absence of the real Blanca that creates such an innovative story.
Washington Post
This elegant, precise and inimitable novel focuses intensely and solely on Mario López, a not-quite-middle-aged civil servant working as a draftsman in the small city of Jaén, and his passionate yet painful relationship with Blanca, his wife of six years... The power is in the writing preserved masterfully in Esther Allen's translation the ability to slice away the exterior of a character like Mario and to offer a simple, naked view of his small joys and great sufferings. To watch a movie of a day in the life of Mario López would be to see only a man who gets up, dresses, goes to the office, returns, eats and sleeps. But Molina offers the reader a field trip into the soul of this ordinary man living his ordinary life. The result is nothing less than extraordinary.
New Yorker
Muñoz Molina layers a subtle satire of artistic hypocrisy with a stirring account of class separation.

In her ABSENCE
By ANTONIO MUÑOZ MOLINA
Other PressCopyright © 1999 Antonio Muñoz Molina
All right reserved.
Chapter OneTHE WOMAN WHO was not Blanca came down the hall toward Mario wearing Blanca's green silk blouse, Blanca's jeans, and Blanca's ballet flats, her eyes narrowing into a smile as she reached him-eyes the same color and shape as Blanca's, but not Blanca's eyes. She welcomed him home in a tone so identical to Blanca's that it was almost as if she really were Blanca, and she stooped a little to kiss him because she was slightly taller than he was, just like Blanca. But instead of the daily absentminded brush of her closed lips against his, she opened her mouth to Mario's tongue, and he, startled by this unanticipated ardor, didn't respond in time.
In the warmth of her breath and the brief, carnal softness of her lips he felt as if he'd gone back in time to Blanca's first delicious kisses, now identical, but falsified with a flawless or almost flawless precision that made everything all the more unreal. He was grateful for the touch of those long, soft hands even though they weren't Blanca's hands, the odd way she had of putting her arm around his waist as she led him toward the dining room, as if he, its owner, didn't know his way around the apartment where he'd been living for some time before he met Blanca, or as if the apartment, too, were a precise replica of something that had been lost: the apartment, the pictures in the hallway, the dining room furniture that Blanca objected to, and rightly so-when Mario bought it he'd had pitifully bad taste-the tablecloth embroidered by Mario's mother or grandmother, the dishes, the steaming bowls of a soup just cooked by the impostor or near-double of Blanca who'd taken it off the stove and served it when she looked out from the balcony and saw Mario crossing the street toward the apartment building. (But Blanca, the real Blanca, the one from before, might never have looked out from the balcony to see if he were coming.) The soup smelled better than ever, Mario thought almost remorsefully, noticing for the first time not that he was beginning to give in, but that the possibility of giving in existed, comprehending with melancholy and relief that he wouldn't be able to keep up this suspicious hostility, uncompromising vigilance, and desperate solitude forever. Unlike Blanca, the woman now sitting across from him didn't dab her lips with the corner of her napkin after each spoonful, didn't raise her eyes in silent reproach if he made the slightest noise as he ate his soup, and didn't sit motionless without saying a word until he realized it was time for him to bring the tray with the main course and fresh plates and silverware on it from the kitchen.
Blanca would never have lit a cigarette before clearing the table, much less settled down on the sofa to watch TV without first straightening up the dining room and cleaning the kitchen until it was spotless. In fact, Blanca hardly ever watched TV, nothing but the news and a strange late-night program with jumpy images and a heavy-metal sound track called Metropolis, which once ran a piece about the painter she'd just broken up with when she met Mario. Sure of herself and fraudulent, dressed in Blanca's own clothes-the silk blouse that had almost exactly the same feel as her skin, the jeans so tight they made her seem taller and more curvaceous-the woman who was not Blanca leaned back on a wide black leather pillow and watched television, her feet now bare, Blanca's flats lying on the floor next to the sofa. She was smoking a cigarette or rather just holding it, having forgotten it so completely that if Mario, with deft and steady fingers, hadn't taken it from her just in time she would have burned herself or spilled ashes all over the rug, perhaps damaging it. Wary, always on the lookout for signs of imposture, Mario studied her feet that, though often a little the worse for wear, were long and delicate with a faint blue tracery of veins in the instep. This time he was surprised to see no sign of chafing or roughness on the heels and as his eyes moved further he discovered that the toenails were adorned with red polish, something he'd never seen on Blanca's toes before. But then immediately he wondered about that. It wasn't the kind of thing he'd ordinarily notice; Blanca herself had sometimes complained that he paid no attention to the clothes she wore or the new touches (nothing too ambitious; they didn't have much money) by which she tried to improve the apartment's somewhat rudimentary decor. Yet he really did think-yes, he was sure-that Blanca had never polished her toenails. But even as he strained his memory to achieve clear certainty he began to doubt and despair, finding, all the while, that Blanca's shiny red toenails and softer and smoother feet were very delectable. He remembered the night before, how she'd wrapped her arms around him from behind after he switched off the bedroom light, warming her cold feet against his legs with a physical complicity that would have been gratifying if it weren't for the obvious imposture, the fact, more bitter now than astonishing, that this woman, so identical to Blanca, was not Blanca, could not be Blanca.
She seemed to be dozing off while Mario cleared the table, but then opened her eyes and held them steadily on him at a moment when he was watching her from the kitchen. He realized that nowadays it was only when she wasn't looking at him that he dared scrutinize her intently, out of a superstitious wariness that was quite futile and frequently embarrassing, for this Blanca-like woman always caught him at it immediately, was always smiling at him in weary tolerance. Right now, for instance, as he washed the dishes, he'd been watching her from the kitchen, trying to see whether her chest was rising and falling, thinking he could make out the placid rhythm of her breathing against the babble of the soap opera, beginning to grow bolder. Little by little, without realizing it, still clutching a damp dishtowel, he'd moved toward the dining room door, stepping out of the corner of the kitchen where she couldn't see him with a ridiculous mixture of caution and recklessness. With every step he took, his face was undoubtedly taking on the particular expression of a person who's watching someone else in the belief that he himself is unobserved. Just then she opened her eyes, with no trace of surprise, and of course no alarm, as if she'd heard his footsteps or had been able to tell, from the sound of his breathing, that he was approaching. He was never sure whether he would actually find Blanca there the next minute or what her mood would be: Blanca could intuit everything about him without needing to open her eyes, but lately that secure knowledge of him no longer seemed to be slipping into disdain or the unthinking, perilous neglect of a woman who's grown used to taking her lover's loyalty for granted.
The eyes from which Blanca did not look out at him lingered for a moment on the damp dishcloth he was still holding, then rose to meet his own evasive gaze and held it. Blanca's hazel eyes, Blanca's straight black hair, her faintly freckled nose, the dark pink of her lips, Blanca's own rings on the same fingers where she wore them, her wedding ring, which he would have liked to examine more closely to see whether the forgery had been so painstaking that this ring, too, was engraved with the date they met rather than the date of their wedding, because both agreed (though the idea originated with Blanca) that what deserves to be remembered isn't the official ceremony but the first meeting, with its rare mixture of chance and destiny.
Mario went closer and watched her curl up small on the sofa and then stretch out her arms in pleasurable indolence, her hair hanging loose now, her face sleepy and ready to nod off, her blouse almost entirely unbuttoned, the silky fabric of her bra on view, the sweet cleft between the breasts that seemed so much like Blanca's breasts, though he no longer knew for sure whether their shape and the pinkness of the nipples was or was not identical to the breasts he remembered. He heard her saying his name in Blanca's voice, almost more tender now than ever before, without the faint note of cool distance whose existence he had always refused to accept, just as he had refused to see and understand so many things, so many slight untruths, so much silent disloyalty. He took one more step, put the dishcloth down on the table, afraid his hands still smelled of grease or detergent, and knelt down next to the sofa, next to the woman whose breath carried nuances different than Blanca's yearned-for breath or the succulent taste of Blanca's mouth. As he leaned toward her, he was surprised by a renewed excitement, an unexpected liberation from nostalgia, if not from suspicion. It occurred to him that he, too, was learning how to pretend, and he tried to justify this by telling himself, as he pushed the hair away from her face and kissed her eyelids and nibbled an earlobe perhaps slightly fleshier than Blanca's earlobe, that this apprenticeship in simulation would help him root out the lie-and not simply in order to make his peace with it, never that. But the fact is that as he kissed and caressed her and unbuttoned her green silk shirt all the way down, he closed his eyes very tightly so that there would be moments when he was sure he really was kissing and caressing Blanca, recognizing her in that willed darkness with a certainty neither his intelligence nor his emotions could grant him.
Chapter TwoMARIO LÓPEZ ALMOST never went out for a beer after work with his colleagues. He wasn't in any way unsociable and prided himself on getting along well with everyone in the office, but each day at ten minutes to three when the staff left the Provincial Council building and dispersed in eager, noisy groups to various nearby bars, he always invented some excuse or simply waved an energetic good-bye and quickened his steps to get home as soon as possible so that he could open the door and call out to Blanca by no later than five past three or, at the very most, ten past.
The only greed he could conceive of was greed for time spent with her. If he yielded seven hours of his life each day to the civil service, and devoted seven more to sleep, any carelessness in the use of the ten hours that remained for living with Blanca would be a reprehensible squandering, a quotidian amputation of happiness. He had never lost the avid and perpetually unsated need to be with her that he'd first experienced during their early days, when they'd spend an afternoon together or go out to dinner and then not see each other again for a week or two, when he didn't yet dare call her every day from fear of seeming too pushy.
Their years of marriage hadn't diminished his amazement at having her regularly there beside him, for hours and days and weeks and months, a greater wealth of time than he'd ever dreamed of possessing and that might have lasted so long because it could turn out to be inexhaustible. Sometimes all he needed to do was open the door of their apartment to be welcomed by the familiar signs of their domestic life and Blanca's habitual and ever-desirable presence: the smell of something cooking in the kitchen, the sound of Blanca putting plates and silverware on the table, maybe even the theme song that accompanied the opening credits of the afternoon soap opera-but that was only on days when he was exceptionally quick and got home at three o'clock sharp, days when there were no last-minute snags at the office or annoying encounters in the street. Other days, he would open the door and hear nothing, smell nothing, and for a fraction of a second, standing just inside the front door with his keys in his hand, he'd be overwhelmed by a devastating, entirely unfounded panic: Blanca had been obliged to leave very suddenly without having time to let him know, to be with her mother in some health emergency; Blanca had been in an accident; Blanca had left him. But this would last only a second or two: he'd call out to her and hear her voice responding from the far side of the apartment or from behind the closed door of the bathroom, or else the explanation was simply that she was so distracted in her studio, so immersed in a book or classical radio program, that she hadn't heard his key in the lock. He would hear her footsteps, then see her coming down the hall toward him, and he would feel as if Blanca were coming back from somewhere very far away, from a secret cellar or crypt whose existence he was unaware of and where he would never be allowed to follow her. He felt the same way sometimes when he phoned her from work in the morning. After only three or four rings Mario would already be jittery with fear that she wasn't there; then he'd hear her voice and it was the voice of someone who is alone, lost in thoughts or rooms that no one else knows anything about. When she read a book, listened to music, or watched a movie, Blanca had a marvelous ability to sink deep into herself and disappear entirely from the external world. This absolute concentration was something Mario had learned not to interfere with, the proof of a sensibility that was a constant wonder to him but made him feel dull by comparison. Sometimes he felt intimately deserted, wanting to tell Blanca something or ask her a question but knowing it wasn't worth trying, not because she'd pay no attention but because she literally was not there; she'd taken leave of her senses, as people used to say, in the most literal meaning of the words, taken leave of the reality that so often bored or disgusted her.

>>1) This unit does not have a way to completely shut it off...only a sleep wake button. If you do not make absolutely sure that all music is stopped, the radio is off, this thing drains battery life very quickly because you cannot fully shut the unit off.
In many ways, I want this thing. But the comment above is a deal-breaker. I have a 5th Gen NANO and several lovely Shuffles. All I really want from the device is audio (including the radio) and the ability to navigate in it. I love the Shuffle-like form factor. On the surface, this would appear to be my ultimate device.
BUT...I never use my 5th Gen NANO. And the reason is that it is ~always~ out of battery. No matter how careful I try to be the thing seems to defeat me. For me, it was a complete waste of a lot of money. I've read the manual for this one and their "intelligent" power management sounds good. But having been so badly burned before, I can not ignore this review. (One of the greatest thing about the Shuffles is that you have to almost make a willful effort to run them out of battery.)

The Dead Linger is an open world procedurally generated zombie FPS. The goal is immersion, and a decent balance of realism and fun. The game is currently in a very rough and early Alpha state, with biweekly updates and is available for purchase for $25USD at the official website. Some multiplayer Alpha footage:

Children's Vaccines Health Center
Vaccine Refusal Raises Chickenpox Risk
CDC: Chickenpox Vaccine Is Safe continued...
According to the CDC, more serious reactions such as seizure and pneumonia are very rare.
But several studies suggest that the VZV vaccine is the most commonly refused childhood vaccine.
It is not exactly clear how many parents choose not to have their children vaccinated.
"The best estimates we have suggest that about 1% to 2% of parents refuse vaccinations for their children, and there is evidence to suggest this number may be growing," Glanz says.
Infectious disease specialist William Schaffner, MD, says while the number of parents who reject all vaccines for their children remains small, the number with specific concerns about vaccines and vaccination schedules appears to be growing.
Schaffner is professor and chairman of preventive medicine at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tenn.
"The pediatricians I talk to are telling me that the time they spend addressing parents' concerns about vaccinations has grown exponentially over the past five years," he says.
VZV Vaccine Very Effective
The VZV vaccine is almost 100% effective for preventing severe cases of chickenpox. Roughly one in 10 children who is vaccinated gets a milder case of the disease.
Vaccination is also believed to prevent the painful, nerve-related condition known as shingles, which is common among older adults and is also caused by the varicella zoster virus.
According to the National Institutes of Health, people who have been vaccinated against chickenpox appear to be less likely to get shingles later in life.
Schaffner says children who aren't vaccinated can have severe complications including bacterial infections and pneumonia if they get chickenpox.
And unvaccinated children are more likely to expose others who can't be vaccinated to the disease or are at high risk for severe chickenpox infection, including young infants, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems.
"We vaccinate the strong so that the weak are protected," he says. "Vaccination has always had two functions: to protect the individual and to protect the community."

FRIDAY FUNNY: Am I Annoying You Yet? | Facility Executive - Creating Intelligent Buildings
Who is the most annoying person in your office? Or is you (heaven forbid)?
FRIDAY FUNNY: Am I Annoying You Yet?
Last year, FacilityBlog presented a visual identification guide to annoying co-workers in the post, "FRIDAY FUNNY: Every Office Has One." Here's an updated description, provided by Christine Lambden and Casey Connor, authors of the new book, Everyday Practices of Extraordinary Consultants.
Who is the most annoying person in your office? Or is it you (heaven forbid)?
• Pontification Person—This person goes on and on, telling you what he or she is going to say, saying it, and then telling you what he or she said.
• Um Person—To avoid losing control of the conversation, this co-worker fills every pause with "Um," not realizing he or she might be able to think better when not talking.
• Too Much Detail Person—The authors could elaborate on this one, but then, of course, that would be contributing to the problem.
• 50,000-Foot-Only Person—He or she is eloquent when you talk about the big picture, but refuses to allow anyone to get into the details, which we all know is where the real work gets done. "Unless you're the CEO of a multinational corporation," say Lambden and Connor, "you have to be willing to work at any altitude."
• Hypnotized-by-E-mail Person—Wireless technology can be a lifesaver, but there's something defeating about presenting to the tops of people's heads because everyone at the conference table is hunched over his or her laptop.
• Buzzword Person—"This employee is annoying in meetings, team rooms, and in cubicles," say Lambden and Connor. "In fact, this person is just plain annoying all the time."
• Foul Language Person—Much like Buzzword Person, this co-worker is too lazy to think of the right words to express what he or she is thinking, if, indeed, he or she is thinking at all. This person isn't trying to impress you with his or her knowledge. "They aren't trying to impress you at all," Lambden and Connor note. "They don't care what you think of them." Refreshing on some level, but probably not a person you'd want on your team.
• Reiteration Person—The only contribution this person makes is to restate what already was said. So, basically, he or she actually has no contribution to make.
• Too Busy to Be Prompt Person—He or she always is late to work and every meeting, clearly lacking time management skills. Nobody can be working on something important all the time, after all.
• Can't Control the Meeting Person and Arch-Nemesis Wants to Take Over the Meeting Person—There has to be some balance between the out-of-control ditherer and the maniacal meetings dictator, doesn't there?
• Secondary Conversation People—Your best material often isn't riveting, but staffers at least could pretend to care. But Lambert and Connor point out these workers "only are annoying if their conversation is less interesting than the meeting."
• Disagrees With Everything Person—"This co-worker honestly believes he is just being practical, or serving as the voice of reason, or playing devil's advocate," the authors point out. "This may be true sometimes, and even helpful occasionally, but when it becomes a habit, everyone else just tunes them out."
• Obscure Metaphor Person—This employee is as annoying as "the fool in a troupe of Morris dancers," say Lambden and Connor. "See? Wasn't that annoying?" How do you help your employees handle interpersonal workplace annoyances big and small? Do you have any suggestions on maintaining the peace and comfort of colleagues who have to share space in trying times?

Ok I do not get the two pictures, The rocket launcher and the dancing leprechauns? I can't figure out what it has to do with the friday funny. Unless one type of person was not mentioned. Irrelevant person. We all know the type. They have something to say that has nothing to do with the subject.

yes... i recommend you buy 10

yes... i recommend you buy 10
Love my yeti...
One thing I found interesting about keeping warm was how much difference a superfly with the doors closed makes.
Also a hot water bottle.
Now that's neat and tidy.
Did you test it?
Did you have the tarp set up with the pulls stretched out before applying the sealant?
So amaze !
Epic job
Maybe a change in the thread title is in order. It does allude to the SF being a flawed product.
I have to admit that the only reason I opened this thread was because of the title.
Its totally...
I've got a couple of the new superfly's w/ the V shaved pull outs rather than the round ones. Do these need to be seam sealed?
Your original idea of the two biner method is the better option because you don't have to have a fly, split ring & piece of line permanently attached to the tarp or a hook attached to the line. Also...
Forget the carabiners & prusiks and use two dutch stingerz.
Or 1 biner and 1 stingerz...
Its said that of all the people who have EVER lived more than half have died because of mosquitoes...
I got everything x2 so the Mrs can hang with me lol
Thats it!
I do it this way also but I use two Dutch Stingerz rather than biners. No prusik knots and both ends are adjustable. Works well
So I received a backbird, superfly, yeti & this...
What is this for?
I'm pretty new to the hammock scene but ever since my gear arrived I've been checking the weather online a few times daily because I cant wait to get out in the weather and test the superfly lol
My box was only slightly larger but only because I got two of everything lol
If it isn't too much trouble I would like to see pictures :laugh:
I expertly solved that problem by buying everything I got for the Mrs as well disguised as a Mothers day present. A nice card saying "I got you these Hammock things so you can have a well deserved...
What an absolute mess I made of explaining myself here hahaha. What I should have said was;
Exactly like this vid except using two dutch stingerz...
Driving 8+hours a day weekdays for 20 years I never had a single car accident. Then one day some crazy tboned me. The next day I rented a car and another crazy crashed into me.
Its unfortunate but...
Good looking gaiters. Have they ever been put to the test?
And I thought the large hadron collider was a bad idea. This will surely cause major problems with the universe.
Nice! I will check out your store.
The fact is over is better :lol:
Thanks for reminding me of how I should be starting each day. Great video
It needs the "I got my wife in the hammock mod"
Replace those chains with some theraband gold ;)
Great idea!
I like to make use of what I already have w/ me.
The bandana ridgeline organizer ;)
I'm in DIY MYOG heaven ;)
Sweet i'm going to give it a go...
Excellent... now to put the kids to work ;)
I will have to try making all of those...
Great idea. Will try it next time i'm out
Upgrades... endless upgrades lol
Yeah he very promptly answered my question on noobtube too. Great guy!
So I'm deep in the Aussie bush about 2 days walk away from help and I walk over one of these... A brown snake
They say most of the people who die from the bites are the one who step on them.
gmcttr, don't you use elbows on the poles anymore? It looked much neater with the elbows. It looks like you get more space inside when not using the elbows though...
This is an excellent thread and example of how I want to rig my superfly.
Just having trouble deciding if I want to run mine like this with the elbow. Which looks very neat & tidy. I like...
Yes exactly.
That way you don't need to have access to both D rings at the start. One can be in the bottom of the bag
None of those pictures are mine. Just borrowed for illustration purposes......
I really like the CRL w/ the WBSF.
1. It stops the tent poles from tent pole mod touching the tarp
2. Its an extra layer of protection in case something falls from the trees. Hopefully...
Would be nice to do an Aussie group buy
Obviously don't pick up the stove right away lol.
The perfect steak should be rested for as long as it was cooked ;)
I saw a guy on youtube use an upturned vagro ti wood stove as a grill to cook steak on. Not bad for 4.1oz
Personally I wouldn't add a plate I would just pull the stove out of the fire and use it...
hahaha yeah i'm obsessed with cook kits too.
Got the design sused out now just need to put it together...
Its an ultra light dual fuel.
TOAKS Titanium 750+450 Combo Set for dry baking or...
Cool story bro. I'm doing all the same type of things lol.
My story is I was in a car wreck 3 years ago and have been pretty much laying in bed for the last 3 years. My back is all messed up with...
hmmm I have 4 doors...
I guess you could send me one each of the small 3mm locks and one of the larger ones when they arrive. On the 4th door I could do prusik knot as the adjustment... R & D time...
Originally I had planed to use a 3' length of shockcord on all my superfly doors.
One end acting as a hook with an s biner or mitten hook and the other end being adjustable with the 3mm shockcord...
Paranoia yeah that's it hahaha...
I like this method only because you get the V and can happily sit n swing without the hammock suspension interfering with the tarp. Getting to use Dutch's gizmos...

SAN ANTONIO (July 1, 2013)--San Antonio police were looking for leads Monday after a 15-year-old boy was shot to death while he walked with two other teens by someone who opened fire from a vehicle that pulled up near them.
Three people inside the vehicle exchanged words with the three teens who were walking when one of the vehicle's occupants opened fire.
Albert Carrillo was struck once in the chest.
After the shooting, the SUV sped off.
Police aren't sure whether the teens who were walking knew the occupants of the SUV.
An officer who was trying to respond to the shooting was involved in an accident with another car at an intersection in which no one was injured.

Vini Fantini-Selle Italia rider Chicchi stayed close to Rico Rogers (Synergy-Baku), who had begun his sprint early, before accelerating to his second stage of the 10-day race.
Graeme Brown, the lead-out man for Theo Bos before the Dutchman retired through illness, continued Blanco's excellent start to the season with third place into Kuala Terengganu.
Italian Chicchi took enough intermediate sprints to win the points leader's jersey while Colombian Team Nippo-De Rosa rider Arredondo, a former U23 star, easily finished in the main group.
"I've prepared for this race very well... I've raced Langkawi in a small team but everyone from the team has done their best on the road," said Arredondo.
"This team is like a family and in the difficult moments of the race they have remained close to me.
"I hope this is only my first victory and there are many more to come.
"I hope to have the opportunity to join a big team and I've made a lot of sacrifices to reach that goal."
Chicchi was over the moon with his points triumph. Andrea Guardini (Astana) was in prime position to take the points jersey before he became affected by food poisoning ahead of the final two stages.
"Hey, what can I do?" Chicchi said. "I came here with the goal of winning the points jersey and I got it. I've been lucky once in 10 years.
"I'm very happy, for me and my team. We wanted to win one stage and we pulled all day for the win. We won stages and the blue jersey, we are very happy.
"This team has worked a lot for me. This year there were a lot of sprinters like Theo Bos and myself. [There are] great sprinters from big ProTeams. We are just happy with what we have achieved here.
"I'm always strong at the beginning of the season and this year is different because I am considered one of the leaders. This is not a WorldTour team but it's a team where we are united and friends. Our friendship makes it a great team, even if we are not in the WorldTour."
Meiyin Wang (Hengxiang Cycling Team) confirmed his King of the Mountains win on the flat 114.8km loop.
Diago Rosa (Androni Giocatolli), Meron Russom (MTN-Qhubeka), Amin Sharul (Terengganu), Seo Keong Loh (OCBC), Yasuharu Nakajima (Aisan Racing Team) and Rauf Nur Misbah (Malaysian National Team) led an early breakaway, building a steady two-minute lead.
Nakajima was dropped around 47km then not long afterwards five became two as Rosa and Rauf sustained their attack. On the second lap of six around the 5km finishing circuit in the seaside town, Rosa was alone out front with a lead of 30 seconds.
He was sucked in with plenty of time to spare and the teams jostled for control before the final sprint.

Forums → Art, Music, and Writing → Draw me a Ferret, Win Premium Content (or a Pink Cupcake)
First person to draw me an adorable ferret wins premium content of their choice for them or their friend!
So I have an Idea I will try and figuring out how to paint ferret fur colors , was wondering if Ferret had a particular one he would like and perhaps Cenere what would Dooks pattern be :P
Just something to try...since I suck at drawing poses and forms :P
and perhaps Cenere what would Dooks pattern be :P
*Evil Laugh*
Normally you would think the worst thing from a skunk comes from behind BUT these skunks have laser vision so the worst is at both ends for only 10 payments of $19.95 you can have your own minion of misery the Red Eye Skunk!
I've got nothing on most of the stuff in this thread already, especially Cen's. But well, since people were expecting it...
Just to remind you, this is really 'voidy's fault:
Jolly good. I've always wondered what a ferret with a sizable rack and shapely figure would look like.
Just to remind you, this is really 'voidy's fault:
Justine's gonna disappear in a moment coz I felt it necessary to make some small edits. Nothing drastic. Hopefully she doesn't accidentally become AG canon like a number of our flights of fancy, coz I was actually intending to draw a ferret with more, you know, ferret proportions lol.
Give Strop a pencil,he will draw the Mona Lisa.It's true.
Strop, if you want to make another one then she is going to be named Vanessa. *nods*
That's a nice name for a ferret I do believe.
I was going to do this thing, but apparently I am actually getting ill, so it didn't go like I wanted it to, but I am going to post anyway.
And to make that worthwhile (aha ahahaha hahahahahahahahahah, yeah right), a scanned Kai dook, because the colours were pretty butchered in that picture.
Good gracious, look at the girl ferrets! O.o
Allow me to ruin all the adorable ferrets with the following picture:

Authorities are looking for a man who attempted to rob a Leavenworth convenience store at gunpoint Wednesday morning. The robber apparently got scared and ending up fleeing the store without any money, a police spokesman said.
The incident was reported at 6:15 a.m. Wednesday at the BP store at Fourth and Miami streets.
The suspect entered the store, brandished a handgun and demanded money. There were two employees in the store at the time, according to Maj. Dan Nicodemus, deputy chief of the Leavenworth Police Department.
"Before the clerks could comply, the suspect got nervous and ran out," Nicodemus said.
The man ran north and then headed east.
"We haven't been able to locate the suspect," Nicodemus said.
The suspect was described as a young black man who wore a black trench coat, black and white plaid pajama pants and white shoes with black soles. He also wore dark-colored gloves.
Nicodemus said anyone with information about the suspect can contact the Police Department's clue hotline at 682-CLUE, or 682-2583, and remain anonymous.

Residents have it mapped thanks to new feature
Residents have it mapped thanks to new feature
The first of several enhancements planned for Birmingham City Council's new website has launched.
All visitors towww.birmingham.gov.uk can now use My Local Information to easily identify and locate council services of interest to them across the city.
This new feature has been developed using a Geographical Information Solution (GIS) which uses mapping technology to display information based on the user's chosen location.
Initially this will help users locate useful information such as the nearest schools, recycling banks, museums, neighbourhood offices and libraries, with more options set to come soon.
Forming part of the council's Excellence in Information Management (EIM) and Customer First Business Transformation programmes, the new website and the GIS solution have been designed as part of the plan to improve the way in which people can communicate with the authority and access its services.
Cllr Paul Tilsley, Deputy Leader of Birmingham City Council, said: "This is an important stage in the development of our new website, as the new feature is offering something to citizens that we haven't been able to provide before.
"The website, when it recently launched, provided us with a platform for these types of improvements and there are many more set to come on stream in the next few months.
"We are determined to improve the quality of customer service that the council offers – this is part of our effort to do just that."
My Local Information is available by visiting http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/mylocalinformation
Notes to editors
1. Business Transformation is Birmingham City Council's ambitious nine-strand programme which aims to modernise and enhance services delivered across the whole authority to citizens. It is projected that the programme will realise benefits of around £1.5billion over the ten years to 2016.
2. Service Birmingham is a strategic partnership between Birmingham City Council and Capita which will support a transformation in the way the council works; improving services and contributing to its efficiency agenda. This strategic partnership forms part of the council's objective to find better and more innovative ways of delivering services for the benefit of employees and citizens. The principle of this joint venture focuses on the provision of cost effective, sector leading, ICT services and in supporting the council in achieving its business transformation objectives.
3. Excellence in Information Management is one of nine programmes which make up Birmingham City Council's ambitious Business Transformation programme. EIM aims to improving the way that the council creates, manages and uses its wealth of information. It will remove inefficiencies and improve service delivery. Investment costs are projected at £26.6 million over 10 years, with agreed cashable benefits of £54.1 million from Children, Young People and Families and Housing, with potential further cashable benefits of £14.6m that are in the process of evaluation.
4. Customer First is one of nine programmes which make up Birmingham City Council's ambitious Business Transformation programme, and will help deliver a range of improvements giving residents world-class standards of customer service. As part of the wider package, Customer First will provide simpler and easier ways of accessing council services, a single '0121' telephone number to access all council services, a brand new user-friendly city council web site personalised for customers. Increased customer satisfaction is a key driver behind the programme.

So I wrote this very simple program:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
string input;
cin >> input;
cout<< input<<endl;
cin >> input;
cout<< input<<endl;
cin >> input;
cout<< input<<endl;
return 0;
I type in 'word1 word2 word3' on one line and the output as expected is
now of course, I could've gotten the same output as
for (int i=0; i <3; i++){cin>>input; cout << input<<endl;}.
Which brings me to my question. As soon as cin runs out of things to read from stdin, it will query the user (stdin).
I a way to detect whether cin will read something from the stdin buffer or query the user.
I know its a simple question, but its for homework... and I'm in a massive work-induced time cruch, so kudos to whoever shares the power!

Adding Alice
Hello, I'm a teacher who would like to familiarize my students more with Alice (Randy Pausch's visual programming language), yet I can't reliably work with it at home. Any ideas on the best way to get Alice visual programming language to work in Linux? Thank you. Don Davis
In general, look for software specifically for your operating system. After a short search, some Debian packages showed up for Alice. If you add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file,
deb http://www.ps.uni-sb.de/alice/download/debian stable contrib
you should be able to install the (old) version 1.4 of the programming language's run-time environment with the following command:
sudo aptitude install alice-runtime
At least for Debian/Lenny (and Knoppix), this seems to work.
Under "Alice 3 beta" at the developer's website [3], you can also find a Linux "offline installer" for version 3 [4]. At 516MB, it is amazingly large, and I did not look inside. This beta installer is a self-extracting shell script that can be run by typing the following after download:
sh Alice3BetaInstaller-Complete-18.104.22.168.61-linux.sh
Alice is a 3D framework for Java with its own visual development platform – similar to Eclipse – so you probably only need to have Java and a few Java extensions (Beans) installed as a prerequisite. This is just a guess, though. If you try the beta, please let me know whether it worked. :-)
Note: Make sure you have the most recent stable JRE installed. The best compatibility is usually reached with Sun Microsystems Java [5].

She has been drawing and painting since childhood. Her major work is in oil paintings. She also works in various other media, including watercolor, pencil, pen and ink, and colored pencil. She uses a style that is flowing and dynamic to help express her spiritual nature. Terry sees paintings as windows into other worlds. She floods the canvas with the essence and richness of those worlds. Strong composition is a major component of her work. Terry likes to incorporate an air of mystery in her work. In her "Dream Worlds" paintings, so named because so many of her ideas come from her dreams, she allows her brush to flow freely over the canvas in a fluid motion. She believes that all elements of the universe are constantly flowing and changing and has a natural tendency to incorporate this concept into her work. Terry's philosophy is that people of all cultures can ultimately solve their differences by communication through the arts. The arts show what we are all about, what we feel, and how we see our world. It is a form of communication that transcends time and space. Terry has been in many juried art shows, competitions, galleries, and exhibitions. Her paintings are included in private collections throughout the world. She currently shows and sells from her home and studio. She often works on commission and is always happy to discuss ideas with the client. She may be contacted by phone at 870-453-6123 or by email.

Man admits domestic assaultOctober 04,2013Man ignores his
lawyer with plea
A Rutland man previously convicted of a federal gun charge ignored his lawyers advice Monday and pleaded guilty to domestic assault.
Steven J. McAuley, 33, pleaded guilty in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of second-degree aggravated domestic assault.
My client is entering into this plea against my advice, defense attorney Nelson Floyd told Judge Theresa DiMauro.
Floyd said his client had received alternative offers that would be better for his criminal record and better for his future.
In August, McAuley was sentenced to 63 months in U.S. District Court in Rutland for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Under his plea agreement Monday, McAuley was sentenced to 44 to 45 months in prison, to be served concurrently with his federal sentence.
McAuleys domestic assault conviction stems from a 2012 incident in which he choked a 15-year-old girl.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...
