The Monk is a violent tale of ambition, murder, and incest. The great struggle between maintaining monastic vows and fulfilling personal ambitions leads the monk Ambrosio, into temptation and the breaking of his vows, then to sexual obsession and rape, and finally to murder in order to conceal his guilt. Written when Matthew Lewis was only 19, The Monk was criticised when first published in 1796 for its lewdness and impiety, but this criticism only added to its popularity.
A modern masterpiece,The Godfather is a searing portrayal of the 1940s criminal underworld. It is also the intimate story of the Corleone family, at once drawn together and ripped apart by its unique position at the core of the American Mafia. Still shocking 40 years after it was first published, this compelling tale of blackmail, murder, and family values is a true classic.
A gripping collection of classic spy stories by some of the great early masters of espionage fiction: 'The Secret of the Black Bag' by William Le Queux, 'How I Became a Secret Agent' by Dr. A. K. Graves, 'The Secret of the Smoked Spectacles' by William Le Queux,'The 39 Steps' by John Buchan, 'Matahari and Some Other Women Spies' by Sir Basil Thomson, 'The Secret of Dr. Vaux's Intrigue' by William Le Queux.
Acclaimed British actress Glenda Jackson narrates what has been called the most important novel of its era. The character of Emma Bovary, a beautiful young woman longing to escape from her dull husband and the constrictions of bourgeois life in France is one of the most compelling figures in all literature. The story of her adulteries and financial ruin was so shocking to mid-19th-century readers that Flaubert was charged with "offenses against public morals and religion".
Seven short story masterpieces by the acknowledged master of the short story, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: 'The Parasite', 'The Mystery of Sasassa Valley', 'The Man with the Watches', 'A Pastoral Horror', 'The Slapping Sal', 'Lot No. 249','The Ring of Thoth'.
What Is Man? appears in the form of a Socratic dialogue between a romantic young idealist and an elderly cynic, who debate issues of mankind, such as whether man is free to act or is more of a machine, whether personal merit is meaningless given how the environment shapes us, and whether man truly has impulses other than to pursue pleasure and avoid pain.
Journey to Oz with Dorothy and Toto, and make some new friends along the way.
Pride, justice, and vengeance. Aristocracy and democracy vie for ultimate power over Rome, and each faction violently erupts when Coriolanus takes the political stage. After receiving glorious accolades for taking an enemy city when the plebian soldiers cowered without the gates, the common people find his arrogance and pride offensive. Now, banished from the very city for which he was prepared to lay down his life, he strikes up an unholy alliance with his country's enemies.
Here, we have a glorious ensemble of Woodhousian characters knocking elbows to foreheads in the elegant and grand Blandings Castle. Meet Freddy Threepwood, the vagrant son of doddering old Lord Emsworth of Blandings Castle. Freddy has recently become engaged to Aline Peters, the American heiress of an irascible father. The snag is that Freddy seems to have at one point become enamored of a struggling actress, Joan Valentine, and written some impetuous and imprudent letters to her.
The year is 1745, and Prince Charlie of the defeated royal house of Stuart, has just returned to Scottish soil. A weighty choice faces every Scottish man. Should he stitch a white cockade to his hat and join the fight to restore James, Prince Charlie's father to the British throne? Or should he stay at home and back George II, the reigning king? One Lowland family, the Duries of Durisdeer and Ballantrae, believe they've found a clever way to sidestep the decision.
Middle-aged big game hunter Allan Quartermain accompanies Sir Henry Curtis on an expedition in search of Curtis' estranged younger brother George, who had headed north in search of treasure two years before and was never seen again. Curtis believes his brother was following an ancient map that he hoped would lead him to Solomon's Mines, part of the lost riches of the biblical King Solomon.
A banker who has people's fortunes leaves his wife and son. They receive letters from Paris describing his life and know nothing of what is behind the sealed door.
A young woman, Helen Leicester, becomes concerned about her brother Francis when he begins spending all of his time locked in his room studying. At first Francis insists that he is fine, but eventually admits that he is not feeling well and agrees to see the family physician. The doctor prescribes a medication - a white powder which is mixed with water - and Francis begins to feel better. However, this "cure" doesn't last very long and Francis begins exhibiting peculiar and disturbing behavior.
"Great short for a drive!"
This classic storyteller, Mark Twain, shares the tale of an encounter with a ghost in a newly opened, but previously abandoned, apartment building. Was this ghost a menace or simply mischievous? Humor is most always a companion of a Twain tale and it visits even this story. Memorable and perfectly constructed.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most intriguing novella. Austin Gilroy is a scientist and is by nature sceptical of anything to do with the occult. So when his colleague, Professor Wilson, introduces him to the mysterious and sinister hypnotist, Miss Penclosa, he is inclined to view her as a fraud. But when Gilroy's fiancée is hypnotised and Miss Penclosa makes her do the unthinkable, Gilroy is forced to change his views.
When the "good doctor" is found dead, there is a trial and surprises await, with an ending you could not predict.
A selection of eight fairy tales from the book Tales of Old Japan by A B Mitford: The Tongue-Cut Sparrow, The Accomplished and Lucky Tea-Kettle, The Crackling Mountain, The Battle of the Ape and the Crab, The Adventures of Little Peachling, The Foxes' Wedding, The History of Sakata Kintoki, The Elves and the Envious Neighbour
Edward Frederic Benson (1867-1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist, and short story writer, best known for his evocative and beautifully narrated ghost stories. "The Bath Chair" is a sinister tale of Alice Farraday who harbours an obsessive hatred of her selfish brother Edmund. Alice is a believer in occult powers, and she well knows that a hatred, nurtured and fed, will take on a life of its own and bring about disaster for its object.
If you have ever wondered why doctors can sometimes seem detached and non-emotional, perhaps this short story from Russian author Ivan Tergenev can help explain. This is part confession, part love story, and filled with regret. This memorable tale also shows that it may be easier to share a confession with a complete stranger.
David Sheldon is a smart, resourceful plantation owner in turn-of-the-century Solomon Islands. Despite his mastery and competence, his fortunes are going badly. Disease, financial difficulties, and uproar among his two hundred indentured laborers threaten to end his endeavors in failure or even death. Just when the situation seems worst, Joan Lackland comes blowing into his world.
The story of a magnificent wolf-dog, born in the Wild, who struggles to survive in the harsh Yukon and is transformed into an animal capable of great love.
Paul Bäumer is just 19 years old when he and his classmates enlist. They are Germany's Iron Youth who enter the war with high ideals and leave it disillusioned or dead. As Paul struggles with the realities of the man he has become, and the world to which he must return, he is led like a ghost of his former self into the war's final hours. All Quiet is one of the greatest war novels of all time, an eloquent expression of the futility, hopelessness and irreparable losses of war.
"My Choice for Frank Muller's Best"
Set before and during the Great War, Birdsong captures the drama of that era on both a national and a personal scale. It is the story of Stephen, a young Englishman, who arrives in Amiens in 1910. His life goes through a series of traumatic experiences, from the clandestine love affair that tears apart the family with whom he lives to the unprecedented experience of the war itself.
"Fantastic narration of a modern classic"
First published as four separate novels (Some Do Not…, No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up, and The Last Post) between 1924 and 1928, Parade's End explores the world of the English ruling class as it descends into the chaos of war. Christopher Tietjens is an officer from a wealthy family who finds himself torn between his unfaithful socialite wife, Sylvia, and his suffragette mistress, Valentine. A profound portrait of one man's internal struggles during a time of brutal world conflict, Parade's End bears out Graham Greene's prediction that "there is no novelist of this century more likely to live than Ford Madox Ford."
"A brilliant, challenging, and valuable work"
The Enormous Room is a 1922 autobiographical novel by the poet and novelist E. E. Cummings about his temporary imprisonment in France during World War I. Drawing on his experiences in France as a volunteer ambulance-driver, Cummings recounts the series of mistakes that led to his arrest and imprisonment for treason. This edition restores much of the original manuscript.
"e.e.cummings life in WWI prison camp"
This was no ordinary war. This was a war to make the world safe for democracy. And if democracy was made safe, then nothing else mattered - not the millions of dead bodies, nor the thousands of ruined lives. This is no ordinary novel. This is the story of a young American soldier terribly maimed in World War I - he "survives" armless, legless, and faceless, but with his mind intact.
The best American novel to emerge from World War I, A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse.
"This is not unabridged"
Here are the extraordinary writings of a generation who fought through a war of unprecedented destructive power, and who had to find new voices to express the horror of what they discovered. The great names - Owen, Sassoon - are fully represented, but there are also many poems by lesser-known or unexpected figures, ranging from serving soldiers like Isaac Rosenberg and Richard Aldington to women such as Edith Nesbit and Vera Brittain.
"Great War Poets, great poetry, great work"
In 1914, a beautiful foal with a distinctive cross on his nose is sold to the Army and thrust into the midst of the war on the Western front. But his heart aches for Albert, the farmer's son he left behind. Will he ever see his true master again?
"Great idea for reluctant readers!"
Arguably some of the most powerful poetry ever written. Classic works written during World War I by Wilfred Owen, Siegried Sassoon and Rupert Brooke.
A soldier in the First World War who never actually sees any combat, Josef Svejk is the awkward protagonist - and none of the other characters can quite decide whether his bumbling efforts to get to the front are genuine or not. Often portrayed as one of the first anti-war novels, Hasek's classic satire is a tour-de-force of modernist writing, influencing later writers such as Hemingway, Faulkner and Joseph Heller.
"Satirical and Amusing"
A famous autobiographical account of life as a young soldier in the first World War trenches. Robert Graves, who went on to write I, Claudius, has given to posterity here one of the all-time great insights into the experience of war.
"An honest and well-written???ABRIDGED???WWI Memoir"
In celebration of the 40th anniversary of its original publication, here is a new translation of the classic story of the life and loves of a poet/physician during the turmoil of the Russian Revolution. Taking his family from Moscow to what he hopes will be shelter in the Ural Mountains, Zhivago finds himself instead embroiled in the battle between the Whites and the Reds. Set against this backdrop of cruelty and strife is Zhivago's love for the tender and beautiful Lara.
"Nothing like the movie."
One of the bestselling novels of the 19th century, King Solomon's Mines has inspired dozens of adventure stories, including Edgar Rice Burroughs's Tarzan books and the Indiana Jones movies. Vivid and enormously action-packed, Henry Rider Haggard's tale of danger and discovery continues to shock and thrill, as it has since it was first presented to the public and heralded as "the most amazing book ever written."
"Purchase the Kindle book for free"
Harper Lee's Pulitzer prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep south - and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatred, available now for the first time as a digital audiobook. One of the best-loved stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than 40 languages, sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, served as the basis for an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the 20th century by librarians across the country.
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.
"Gothic Horror Never Sounded So Good"
Like every other hobbit, Bilbo Baggins likes nothing better than a quiet evening in his snug hole in the ground, dining on a sumptuous dinner in front of a fire. But when a wandering wizard captivates him with tales of the unknown, Bilbo becomes restless. Soon he joins the wizard's band of homeless dwarves in search of giant spiders, savage wolves, and other dangers. Bilbo quickly tires of the quest for adventure and longs for the security of his familiar home. But before he can return to his life of comfort, he must face the greatest threat of all.
"Victory after all, I suppose!"
Albert Camus' The Stranger is one of the most widely read novels in the world, with millions of copies sold. It stands as perhaps the greatest existentialist tale ever conceived, and is certainly one of the most important and influential books ever produced. Now, for the first time, this revered masterpiece is available as an unabridged audio production.
"Is amorality bad?"
The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume in the trilogy, tells of the fateful power of the One Ring. It begins a magnificent tale of adventure that will plunge the members of the Fellowship of the Ring into a perilous quest and set the stage for the ultimate clash between the powers of good and evil.
"At last - The Definitive Recording!"
Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."
"I'm Burnin', I'm Burnin' for You"
When a brute of a man tramples an innocent girl, apparently out of spite, two bystanders catch the fellow and force him to pay reparations to the girl's family. The brute's name is Edward Hyde. A respected lawyer, Utterson, hears this story and begins to unravel the seemingly manic behavior of his best friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and his connection with Hyde.
"Classic novel of the duality of man"
F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic American novel of the Roaring Twenties is beloved by generations of readers and stands as his crowning work. This new audio edition, authorized by the Fitzgerald estate, is narrated by Oscar-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain). Gyllenhaal's performance is a faithful delivery in the voice of Nick Carraway, the Midwesterner turned New York bond salesman, who rents a small house next door to the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby....
"Simple, Beautiful, and Exquisitely Textured"
The Two Towers is the second volume of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic saga, The Lord of the Rings. The Fellowship has been forced to split up. Frodo and Sam must continue alone towards Mount Doom, where the One Ring must be destroyed. Meanwhile, at Helm's Deep and Isengard, the first great battles of the War of the Ring take shape. In this splendid, unabridged audio production of Tolkien's great work, all the inhabitants of a magical universe - hobbits, elves, and wizards - spring to life. Rob Inglis' narration has been praised as a masterpiece of audio.
"Thank you, Audible! Tolkien at long last!"
A Signature Performance: Elijah Wood becomes the first narrator to bring a youthful voice and energy to the story, perhaps making it the closest interpretation to Twain's original intent.
"Worthy "signature" premiere"
The Return of the King is the towering climax to J. R. R. Tolkien's trilogy that tells the saga of the hobbits of Middle-earth and the great War of the Rings. In this concluding volume, Frodo and Sam make a terrible journey to the heart of the Land of the Shadow in a final reckoning with the power of Sauron. In addition to narrating the prose passages, Rob Inglis sings the trilogy's songs and poems a capella, using melodies composed by Inglis and Claudia Howard, the Recorded Books studio director.
George Orwell depicts a gray, totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and its vast network of agents, including the Thought Police - a world in which news is manufactured according to the authorities' will and people live tepid lives by rote. Winston Smith, a hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.
"Great Book, With an Amazing Narrator"
In a scrap heap within an abandoned factory, the greatest invention in history lies dormant and unused. By what fatal error of judgment has its value gone unrecognized, its brilliant inventor punished rather than rewarded for his efforts? In defense of those greatest of human qualities that have made civilization possible, one man sets out to show what would happen to the world if all the heroes of innovation and industry went on strike.
"What an incredible audio book"
A Tale of Two Cities is one of Charles Dickens's most exciting novels. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, it tells the story of a family threatened by the terrible events of the past. Doctor Manette was wrongly imprisoned in the Bastille for 18 years without trial by the aristocratic authorities.
"Truly a Classic"
Marooned on a tropical island, alone in a world of uncharted possibilities, and devoid of adult supervision or rules, a group of British boys begins to forge a society with its own unique rules and rituals.
"Great story - bad narration"
This is a wonderful rendition, set to the overture of "The Nutcracker", of the timeless Christmas classic by Moore to be enjoyed again and again from season to season.
"just lovely!"
When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.
Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media: has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller's genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 A.F. (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.
""Oh, Ford, Ford Ford, I Wish I Had My Soma!""
Labeled variously a realistic story of whaling, a romance of unusual adventure and eccentric characters, a symbolic allegory, and a drama of heroic conflict, Moby Dick is first and foremost a great story. It has both the humor and poignancy of a simple sea ballad, as well as the depth and universality of a grand odyssey.
"I felt totally swept up in this world"
Sixteenth-century Spanish gentleman Don Quixote, fed by his own delusional fantasies, takes to the road in search of chivalrous adventures. But his quest leads to more trouble than triumph. At once humorous, romantic, and sad, Don Quixote is a literary landmark. This fresh edition, by award-winning translator Edith Grossman, brings the tale to life as never before.
"My Fourth Try at an Audible Quixote"
Narrator Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.
"A great listen"
A Signature Performance: Kenneth Branagh plays this like a campfire ghost story, told by a haunted, slightly insane Marlow.
"From Civilization into Darkness"
Graham Greene's evocative analysis of the love of self, the love of another, and the love of God is an English classic that has been translated for the stage, the screen, and even the opera house. Academy Award-winning actor Colin Firth (The King's Speech, A Single Man) turns in an authentic and stirring performance for this distinguished audio release.
"Colin whispers in my ear, and I melt"
One of the best-known stories in American culture, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has stirred the imagination of young and old alike for over 100 years. Best Actress nominee Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married, Alice In Wonderland), fresh from filming one of this year's most anticipated films, The Dark Knight Rises, lends her voice to this uniquely American fairy tale.
"Great for family car ride"
This expanded edition of John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism includes the text of his 1868 speech to the British House of Commons defending the use of capital punishment in cases of aggravated murder. The speech is significant both because its topic remains timely and because its arguments illustrate the applicability of the principle of utility to questions of large-scale social policy.
"A dramatic reading of JSM's 'Utilitarianism'"
This volume contains a collection of fairy tales from a wide array of classical works. These immortal tales include "The Enchanted Stag", "Twelve Brothers", "Puss in Boots", "Jack and the Beanstalk", "The Princess and the Pea", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Light Princess", "Beauty and the Beast", "Hansel and Gretel", "Jack the Giant Killer", "The Second Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor", and "The Story of Aladdin, or the Wonderful Lamp".
"Enjoyed it"
During a train trip from Chicago to Texas in the late 1940s, A.W. Tozer began to write The Pursuit of God. He wrote all night, and when the train arrived at his destination, the rough draft was done. The depth of this book has made it an enduring favorite.
"Great classic book to include in your library!"
King Arthur was a legendary British leader of the late fifth and early sixth century who, according to the medieval histories and romances, led the defense of the Romano-Celtic British against the Saxon invaders in the early sixth century. This book gives an account of the life of this great legend of all times.
"Don't waste your time."
This true modern masterpiece is built around the two fateful words that make up the title and herald the end - "Alas, Babylon." When a nuclear holocaust ravages the United States, a thousand years of civilization are stripped away overnight, and tens of millions of people are killed instantly. But for one small town in Florida, miraculously spared, the struggle is just beginning, as men and women of all backgrounds join together to confront the darkness....
"Excellent listen"
An Oprah's Book Club Selection regarded as one of Faulkner's greatest and most accessible novels, Light in August is a timeless and riveting story of determination, tragedy, and hope. In Faulkner's iconic Yoknapatawpha County, race, sex, and religion collide around three memorable characters searching desperately for human connection and their own identities.
"Superb reading of an excellent work"
A Signature Performance: Four-time Emmy Award winner David Hyde Pierce delivers an air of lovable self-importance in his rendition of the classic social satire that remains as fresh today as the day it was published.
"Loved every minute"
A carnival rolls in sometime after the midnight hour on a chill Midwestern October eve, ushering in Halloween a week before its time. A calliope's shrill siren song beckons to all with a seductive promise of dreams and youth regained. In this season of dying, Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and sinister mystery.
"It's so creepy"
Based on the true story of Alexander Selkirk, who survived alone for almost five years on an uninhabited island off the coast of Chile, The Mysterious Island is considered by many to be Jules Verne's masterpiece. "Wide-eyed mid-nineteenth-century humanistic optimism in a breezy, blissfully readable translation by Stump" (Kirkus Reviews), here is the enthralling tale of five men and a dog who land in a balloon on a faraway, fantastic island of bewildering goings-on and their struggle to survive....
"Wonderful novel, mediocre translation"
Renowned poet and critic Clive James presents the crowning achievement of his career: a monumental translation into English verse of Dante's The Divine Comedy. The Divine Comedy is the precursor of modern literature, and this translation - decades in the making - gives us the entire epic as a single, coherent and compulsively listenable lyric poem. Written in the early 14th century and completed in 1321, the year of Dante's death, The Divine Comedy is perhaps the greatest work of epic poetry ever composed.
A collection of classic Brothers Grimm fairy tales, pulled from Margaret Hunt's 1884 translation. Including: The Little Brother and Little Sister", "Hansel and Gretel", "Oh, If I Could but Shiver!", "Dummling and the Three Feathers", "Little Snow-White", "Frederick and Catherine", "The Valiant Little Tailor", "Little Red-Cap", "The Golden Goose", "Bearskin", "Cinderella", "Faithful John", "The Water of Life", "Thumbling", "Briar Rose", and "The Six Swans," among others.
"More funny than "grimm" ."
Universally acclaimed from the time it was first published in 1968, Slouching Towards Bethlehem has been admired for decades as a stylistic masterpiece. Academy Award-winning actress Diane Keaton (Annie Hall, The Family Stone) performs these classic essays, including the title piece, which will transport the listener back to a unique time and place: the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco during the neighborhood's heyday as a countercultural center.
"Didion deserves better."

Launched in the 2010 Conservative manifesto, the 'Big Society' is an integral part of the UK coalition Government. But can the idea of taking power away from the state and the radical transformation of public services to empower local communities really work?
The 'Big Society' has become a key element of the new coalition Government. Whilst the term itself is new, and accompanied by the 'new language' of social action, there are continuities between current policy objectives and those of the previous Government.
Read full opinion
The state has become unfashionable again. Following a brief flirtation with it as an agent for good under New Labour, the current financial crisis and the ideological preferences of the coalition mean that the state is now regarded at best as an outmoded way of meeting needs, and at worst a block to citizen action, business entrepreneurship and efficient service delivery.

Cook Time:

If you like chocolate mousse then you will think this cake is to die for. Make sure you use good chocolate -- at least 55 percent cocoa solids. I normally go for 70-75 percent cocoa solids, but that is a very intense chocolate taste that may not be to everyone's liking. The number of steps makes this look more difficult than it is. If you are organised and lay things out beforehand, you can go from start to having the glazed cake in the fridge in about an hour. As a mould for this cake, you should use a bottomless cake ring, about 10 inches across and 4-5 inches high, although I have also used a springform pan.

Posted Tuesday, January 7, 2014 --- 2:24 p.m.
LAC DU FLAMBEAU, Wis. (AP) -- Authorities on the Lac du Flambeau reservation say a woman was lucky to escape injury after she tried to use hot charcoal to heat up her vehicle in subzero temperatures.
A WSAW-TV report says authorities responded to a vehicle fire Tuesday morning.
Lac du Flambeau police Chief Robert Brandenburg tells The Associated Press temperatures were about minus 23 degrees and the woman's 2007 Dodge Caravan wasn't starting. So first she took out the battery, warmed it up inside and reinstalled it.
Then she shoved a mound of hot coals under the van hoping to warm up the engine chamber. He says the undercarriage of the front bumper caught fire, causing about $1,000 of damage.
Brandenburg says he's used the charcoal trick successfully, but he doesn't advise that others try it.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Three-quarters of the way through the fiscal year, gambling revenue at Nevada casinos is running nearly 3 percent ahead of last year.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board said Friday casinos statewide won more than $914 million in March, a 7 percent gain over March 2012. That pushed the fiscal year-to-date total to nearly $8.4 billion, 2.8 percent more than last year.
The Las Vegas Strip posted a 13.1 percent monthly gain over March a year ago and is now 5.7 percent ahead of 2012. Washoe County was up 9.5 percent for March, including a 10.8 percent gain in Reno.
North Lake Tahoe was up 15.4 percent, South Tahoe down 11 percent, Carson Valley down 2 percent, Wendover up 7.6 percent and the rest of Elko County up 8.9 percent.

Seinfeld – The Voice
Watch Seinfeld Episodes Online
Seinfeld – Season 9 – Episode 2
The Voice
Due to a DMCA complaint, we had to remove this episode from the website.
About this Seinfeld episode:
Seinfeld – "The Voice" is the 2nd episode of season 9 and number 156 overall the series.
George's employer wants to get rid of him, since they now know he isn't really handicapped and as a result, they don't like him. He has a one-year contract with Play Now, which he will exploit by meeting only the most basic requirement of showing up for work every day.
Jerry and George imagine a scenario in which the stomach of Claire (Jerry's girlfriend) makes sounds during the night, chiefly by saying "Helloooo! La, la, la!" in a loud, booming voice. Jerry envisions the belly button as the mouth and the sound the stomach makes as its "voice". Because of the "bump-into," Jerry tells Elaine that she is destined to backslide into her relationship with David Puddy. She bets him $50 that she won't. The next day Jerry discovers that Elaine didn't go home last night. He accuses her of seeing Puddy. She says the sex they had was an isolated incident. Jerry agrees, but since the dinner they also had was more of a commitment, he demands that she pay up.
Kramer is tired of seeing all his ideas implemented before he has a chance to implement them himself. He contends that all the little day to day incidental things keep getting in his way and prevent him from realizing his ideas. He gets an intern from New York University, Darin, to help him out with "Kramerica Industries", the corporation he had previously set up to develop some of his ideas. With this help, he'll be freed from those day to day activities and be able to develop his ideas (such as the oil tanker bladder).
Meanwhile, George is fighting the siege mentality that he is encountering at work and Elaine just can't get Puddy off her mind. No matter what the obstacle, George endeavors to occupy his office. Jerry tells Claire about the voice and she leaves him. The university takes Kramer's intern away from him, pointing out that Kramerica Industries consists of only "a solitary man with a messy apartment which may or may not contain a chicken". Kramer replies, "and with Darin's help, we'll get that chicken." Claire says to Jerry that they can get back together if only he won't do "the voice" ever again, but he later decides that he prefers "the voice". To Jerry's great disappointment, however, everyone is tired of "the voice". Elaine pays up and they decide on a double or nothing bet. The intern comes back on his own because he believes in Kramerica.
Play Now tries to negotiate with George, but he won't give in. Later, he offers his office and one of their rubber balls to allow Kramer to test his oil tanker bladder idea. The big test takes place at George's workplace where Jerry plans to meet Claire. They quickly notice and try to warn her about the falling rubber ball of oil, but all she hears is "the voice" from Jerry and won't listen; when she finally looks up, it's too late.
The lawsuit that is filed by Claire puts Play Now out of business and George out of his contract. Kramer somehow manages to shift the blame to Darin, whom he claims will be "going away for a long, long time…" The incident makes "the voice" popular among the gang again, and Elaine realizes she wants to be with Puddy, although he wants to break up.

Re: sheep or employee?
I'm not even going to grace your first insult with a reply, and I am not an employee of a software house.
Whomever it was that pissed in your wheat-O-s it certainly wasn't me so maybe you should try and direct your anger to the people who scammed you.
Elite: Dangerous and other such projects (Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure is another that springs to mind) are very real (Tesla Effect has made it to retail and you can play the premium Beta of E:F right now.) and are not scams, and if you had actually spent any time learning how crowdfunding works you would have found out that if the funding goal is not reached then no money is taken and the project is abandoned.
I mean... really, insults and name calling are the first port of call of those unable to accept they are wrong or who cannot construct a solid argument.
*resists the urge to ask whether you are capable of dealing with solids yet.* ;-)
"Until a few years ago software houses were paying people to do alpha and beta-testing of their games ... Now people are so dumb and on drugs to pay even a lot of money for flawed and unfinished products with no real guarantee."
Until a few years ago a game house would have to court its investors to get a greenlight on it, now they can go to the gamers and offer early bird incentives for dropping cash on it, the return for doing so depends on the product so a knick knack would have a limited edition run of colours whereas a game would have early access.
Alpha testing usually costs a lot of money in the hopes of finding that rich fan who can offer a damned good idea.
So, early access isn't exclusive to games and it isn't going anywhere.

Absolutely, the fiasco surrounding the 1st gen Marvell SATA3 controllers that were tacked on to X58 family motherboards because Intel hadn't gotten SATA3 integrated in time proves that point.
Sure, they had SATA3, but it performed only marginally better than the integrated Intel SATA2 it was meant to usurp.
There is also the mobile computing market where less is more and separate controller chips are very much undesirable, for that market it is SoC or GTFO.

It isn't a case of the lens lens being set for distance and the right for viewing, that would really mess things up, you'd end up looking like Major Asshole from Mel Brooks' SPACEBALLS.

Keyboard, you're not my type
One of the weirdest keyboards I've ever used came with the Sanyo MBC-550, like the IBM of its time it had a solid metal backplate, a distinct amount of travel and a clack that could madden even the most even tempered.
That was where the similarity ended though, the bloody thing was non standard, so when the cable broke I travelled to my local computer junk shop (remember them?, now the are called WEEE disposal centres) and picked up a replacement DIN cable, hacked the keyboard side connector onto the new cable and it was good to go for many more years.
That was the only keyboard I've ever used that had a PC reset button on the side.
Wicked times.
I use a Krups Dominator myself... Company policy.
There is a youtube video of a chap modifying his keyboard to provide analogue W A S and D keys for gaming, I won't link to it as there is slight vulgarity in it, but a search for "XBOX Controller Mods: Analog WASD Gaming Keyboard " will bring up the goods.

GILROY, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say they've found 10,000 marijuana plants growing in a Northern California state park.
The San Jose Mercury News says the plants were found Wednesday in a canyon inside Henry Coe State Park near Gilroy. The operation was first located in June.
The Santa Clara County sheriff's office says the farm probably was operated by a Mexican drug cartel.
State and local authorities also found two .22-caliber pellet rifles.
Since 2006, the sheriff's office has been involved in four officer-involved shootings during pot-eradication operations on public lands.
Wednesday's operation was part of an annual spring and summer fight against illegal pot farms in the county. In the past two years, eradication teams have cut down more than 261,000 plants and arrested 51 people.

The best spanking-new menswear and accessories from around the web... more >
Spring 2013
Mark McNairy
September 10, 2012
Location: New York
The Vibe for Spring 2013
During live performances of "Stairway to Heaven," Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant would often ad-lib the phrase, "Does anyone remember laughter?" Well, leave it to ol' McNasty to bring both the theater and the rock 'n' roll thunder to the runways, with a bombastic yet playful show that threw out influences from every which angle. No print was sacred, from exploded plaids to daisies to green globes to a blown-up hundred-dollar bill, lain across menswear genre staples ranging from military to streetwear to prep—all topped off, of course, by a gold lamé suit. Sounds extreme, but when tied together by McNairy's spot-on silhouettes and his trademark iridescent footwear, it becomes an exploration of what fashion can be: unburdened by convention, but grounded in principle; expressive, attractive, and, above all, fun.

Trim cooling costs
Lush shade trees offer a welcome break from the summer sun, but when positioned to shade a home, also typically yield a savings on utility bills, said Bruce Snead, a Kansas State University Research and Extension residential energy specialist.
While newer homes with trees that have not yet reached maturity will someday provide a savings, homeowners can take steps now to reduce summer cooling costs, said Snead, who offered these tips:
--Clean or replace a heating and cooling system filter every three months.
--Check periodically to see that the condensate drain is not clogged. The drain removes condensation water drawn from the air during the cooling process, and can become clogged by accumulated rust or other debris.
--Install a programmable thermostat, which allows heating and cooling systems to adjust the inside temperature to a homeowner's needs and lifestyle. If the family is away during the day, the home need not be heated or cooled to the same level during that time, yet can be set to begin cooling before they arrive home.
--Keep the home closed up to reduce solar gain during intense heat. Close shades and blinds during the hottest part.
--Install ceiling fans, which, although not cooling units, do circulate the air and minimize stuffiness.
--Supplement hard-to-cool spots with a box fan or by installing a window air conditioning unit. If installing a window unit, read manufacturer's instructions and place unit out of direct sunlight, preferably on the north or east side of the home.
--Look for and seal air leaks around windows, doors, ducts or construction (of the home) with appropriate materials, such as caulk, weather-stripping, aluminum foil tape and/or a fiberglass tape with mastic for ducts, or other durable products. Be sure to follow manufacturer's recommendations for safety and personal protection when installing or using these materials in and around the home.
--Evaluate your attic ventilation, and add soffit, ridge or gable end vents.
--Check insulation levels and add according to Department of Energy region and climate recommendations. R-value recommendations can be found at http://www.ornl.gov/sci/roofs%2bwalls/insulation/ins_16.html.
"Monitor utility bills to check for an unexpected change that may reflect a loss of efficiency in a cooling system," Snead said.
More information on choosing and maintaining energy efficient heating and cooling systems is available at county and district K-State Research and Extension offices and on the Extension engineering Web site: www.sustainable-energy.ksu.edu.

Modern medicine has more in common with the past than we like to think. Even in the 21st century, the treatment of illness is to some extent an art, not a science. Cognitive errors, magical thinking, and the unruly emotions of doctors and patients-- all affect clinical reasoning.
Imagine the modest home of a physician on the outskirts of London in the 1670s: dark paneled interior, leaded windows, sparse furnishings. Someone is knocking loudly at the door; the doctor stumbles out of bed in his cap and gown to greet a messenger bearing a urine sample in a "piss pot." It's possible that the pot is a matula, a vessel shaped to resemble the bladder, with parts of the curved glass corresponding (or so it's thought) to regions of the human body. The doctor carefully places the pot on the windowsill, but he glances at it only fleetingly. He tells the messenger the urine needs to settle.

The "Price" of Motherhood
Mother's Day is almost here, and as much as we appreciate Moms everywhere, nothing drives home the importance of this holiday like cold, hard numbers. Check out this awesome infographic we borrowed from the website, FrugalDad.com. In the words of FrugalDad, "Statistically, the real contributions your mom has made to your life aren't quantifiable. Every mother is different, and none are perfect—but chances are, your mom has shown you love and helped you in ways that are not only immeasurable, but also impossible to repay. With that in mind, send her a note and tell her you appreciate her this Mother's Day." Happy Mother's Day to all the hard-working, spaghetti-wielding, sleepless, selfless, and loveable Moms out there!

menu suggestion for British 1930s themed dinner party
- h
- hyperbowler Jan 6, 2012 12:39 PM
I've been invited to a Murder Mystery Dinner that takes place in Yorkshire in the 1930s. Guests are going to be wearing formal wear for cocktails and dinner, so it's an upper crust kind of thing. We're set on cocktails, but not sure what to eat. Not surprisingly, I've been told the game's meal recommendations are boring by modern standards. Plus, there will be at least one vegetarian. Any ideas? It would be great to hear what was in vogue back then, especially stuff that would be amenable to updating.
re: Harters
Cool, thanks--- I didn't know for sure that upper crust England favored haute French cuisine. Were there any particular popular French dishes at that time, or would anything out of the more historic Escoffier or The Epicurean by Charles Ranhofer do?
re: hyperbowler
Can't help on the details, I'm afraid.
At this time of year, your dinner partry would probably have had game as the meal's centrepiece
http://foodtimeline.org/fooddecades.h... This link is American-based, but if you go to the site's home page, there is a list from prehistory to the present, that features some additional foods and dishes that were introduced/popular, by the year.
Also, look at Secret Ingredients, the anthology of food writing from the New Yorker magazine. The dates of the articles appear in the index.
re: greygarious
example via the site I linked:
re: blue room
exactly. i am picturing david suchet right now. ;-).
I have (and use) a 1930's British cookbook - 'Entertaining with Elizabeth Craig'.
Two things spring to mind - first, canned food was acceptable for entertaining (sardines seem to be popular). Second, there are recipes that seem relatively modern - 'Californian aubergines' (a gratin of aubergine pulp with almonds); chili vinegar (involving 50 chillies); baked eggs with chicken livers; cheese timbales; geranium jelly. There are lots of veggie recipes.
If you have a particular ingredient in mind I can look up any suitable recipes for you.
One important point is that the meal should start with soup and end with a savoury.
A typical menu has:- soup; fish; meat; salad; sweet; savoury. If caviare is served then it is an extra course before the soup.
re: Bryan Pepperseed
These are turn of the century offerings rather than food that would have been served in the 30's in Yorkshire - game for sure, a roast beef - still the British at that time had suspicions about 'continental food' - Peg says it all: a dinner would have been from soup to nuts (after the savoury)
re: ZoeZ
We're talking "upper crust" here, so there would be no real "suspicions" about continental food. The French influence remained strong on the dinner party menus of the upper middle class right through the 30s.
Jazz had brought with it a growing stylish interest in all things American so expect to see classic American dishes appearing in British restaurants and, of course, dinner party offerings,
re: Harters
harters, my knowledge of yorkshire is only via a couple of long trips through there, having a friend from bradford, and "all creatures great and small."
i'm curious as to who would the upper crust have been in yorkshire in the thirties? how large could that group have been? would they have necessarily had the same tastes and dinners as the more cosmopolitan group from london, or did it matter were you were at, but only that you were simply in the upper class?
From what I've been able to garner from different web sources the following would be a typical British dinner menu of that Interbellum era:
Mock Turtle Soup, Creamed Chicken, Spinach, New Potatoes, Pears a la Conde.
Here's the pear recipe as written by James Beard...
Here is an old menu from a Bohemian Club dinner: plat chauds -- clear green turtle soup Amontillado, lobster a la Boheme; plat froids - canapés astrakhan, anchovies, Sardelles; Salades -- tomatoes en surprise, Macedoines, pomme de terre; entrees -chicken, guinea fowl, turkey, lamb cutlets a la Pondicherry; ballotines a la Diane and a la Reine, medallions a la Princesse and a la Ducale and dominos a la Savarin; removes -- roast beef a la Anglais, hams Belle Vue, beef tongues a la Aspic, veal and ham pie, game pie,
Boar's head,turkey a la Moderne, roast capon far is, Galatines of turkey, Galatines of chicken; pieces montes -- gateau a la Bohemian, croquembouches, charlottes Parisian, pieces sucrees trifles,tipsy cake, Bavarois, gelees variees, Charlotte Russes, creme aux liqueurs, supreme de fruits, petit fours, and Gateaux variees. I have no idea what a lot of it is, but it reads like an Escoffier cookbook. It sounds like a vegetarian's version of hell.
re: hyperbowler
Game will be a good idea. Assuming that the setting for the dinner is a supposed "grand country house", rather than one of Yorkshire's industrial cities, then all sorts of flying game will have been plentiful.
That said, Marguerite Patten in her "Century of British Cooking" makes the point that roast chicken would be regarded as a "special treat" during the 1930 so may well have made an appearance at a posh dinner party. It was certainly a dish that continued to only be eaten at our house on special occasions, like Easter, well into the 1960s.
re: Joebob
..unless it had jelly in it.

One evening why not try dinner in an igloo at the top of the mountain. Ascent is by helicopter or skidoo, dinner in the igloo, followed by a torchlight descent. Alternatively on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 5.30pm discover the recreational fun zone at the foot of the slopes and have an introduction to Snake Gliss and Airboard. Also there is floodlit giant slalom and cross country ski racing by night.
Mondays are market day: local Savoie food produce, clothes, sweets and gifts.
On Thursday nights the main high street of Val d'Isere is closed to become a pedestrian zone where you will find live music, ice and snow sculpting and parades.
There are an abundance of bars, restaurants and nightclubs to sample with a huge variety of cuisine, and of course many shops to tempt you with either clothes, interiors for the home or delicious food.
If you have never been to Val d'Isere it is definitely a place you should visit.

Wayne Rooney understands why his partnership with Robin van Persie is scrutinised in the media and the Manchester United striker says both men are working hard to prove their critics wrong.
Although Rooney and Van Persie have scored 27 goals between them this season, not to mention another 46 during the title-winning 2012/13 campaign, their relationship has come under the microscope following a number of disappointing results.
During an exclusive interview with MUTV ahead of Sunday's match against Liverpool, Wayne was asked to discuss his work with Robin.
"I think we are doing alright. Obviously, we can do better and if we are not at the top of the league then that will get looked at and we understand that," Wayne explained. "Personally, we can score more goals and we know we can. We are working hard to do that, we have to keep going and hopefully that will come."
Liverpool visit Old Trafford with Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge in white-hot form, having scored 45 goals between them. Although Rooney does not enjoy seeing United's great rivals riding so high in the table, the 28-year-old is begrudgingly impressed by both strikers.
"I think they are both fantastic players and obviously it is good to see Sturridge doing well because he has never really had a chance at his previous clubs," Wayne explained. "Brendan Rodgers has given him a chance and he has taken it with both hands. That is good for England as

Tour helps focus Orange's Route 3 vision
Orange County officials and property owners took to the road this week to collect some ideas for developing the State Route 3 corridor and came back impressed.
The Orange County Administrator and Economic Development staffs held a "Visioning Tour" Tuesday, taking those involved in planning the future of the corridor to view successful developments in nearby regions and to talk with those involved in planning and executing those projects.
Taking part in the tour were members of the county Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission and Economic Development Authority, as well as major landowners in the Route 3 corridor and other interested county residents.
The sites visited included West Creek in Goochland County, Innsbruck in Henrico County, City Center at Oyster Point in Newport News and New Town in James City County.
At each stop, local officials talked about the decisions that went into planning and completing those developments, the choices that had worked well and those that did not. They also took questions from the visitors.
One theme that was repeated several times on the day-long tour was that the process of economic development is not a short, simple one.
Joe Hines, of the Timmons Group, developers of the West Creek Business Park near Richmond, noted that in such endeavors, "an overnight success usually takes 10 to 15 years."
Toney Hall, director of marketing for the Henrico Economic Development Authority, echoed that thought. The Innsbruck development, he said, had been an "overnight sensation that took 25 to 30 years."
Several speakers said it is important to be selective in the development process.
"You don't want to sell property to any Tom, Dick or Harry," Hines counseled. "You want a business that fits your plan."
Orange officials were also told, however, that opportunities to attract the desired businesses sometimes move swiftly, with zoning a particularly important factor.
"You need to be prepared to go, if you're going to be in the game," Hines said. Particularly regarding zoning choices, he explained, "At some point in time, you need to pull the trigger."
The "tourists" from Orange were universally pleased with the day's activities.
"This trip afforded us the opportunity to see what others had done, and, more importantly, to enter into discussions with the key players who made it happen," Supervisor Jim White said.
He was also impressed with the various speakers' willingness to share their experiences and lessons learned.
Supervisor Lee Frame also felt the day was useful. "I learned a lot," he said, "and saw some things that I liked.
The speakers, he said, "gave us particularly useful information, and, perhaps, created the need for us to answer a lot more questions."
White thinks it is important to involve the key landowners in the planning process, and said the tour gave the county leaders, along with the landowners, a chance to "see the same things, hear the same messages and get on the same page."
State Route 3 landowner Chip King said his participation in the visioning tour "helped change my perspective in a number of areas."
"You really need to look at the issues from all standpoints," he said.
