"Zero stars"
I wish I could give this a zero star rating. In a moment of weakness I bought this book to give the Anita Blake series one more chance. I can't believe I fell for this trash - again!
It's time for me to say goodbye to this once loved series forever. This book is just awful. No plot, unbelievable storyline and nauseatingly bad dialogue. Just plain boring.
Don't waste your credit or money.
From the start I was instantly drawn into this story. Told in duel points of view, it was such a mesmerizing listen. The narrators did an excellent job of bringing this well written and unique story to life. It made me feel transported to another place and time and I became utterly lost within the words.
These Broken Stars is a story of survival and love, set in a sci-fi world, with intriguing mysteries to solve, that will have you listening late into the night. There are so many twists and turns and "I didn't see that coming" moments. It will have you guessing almost to the very end.
This was such an unexpected gem of a book. 5 HUGE stars!!
"Another good story ruined by the narrator"
This narrator was like listening to a robot read a text book. There was no emotion whatsoever and no change from one character to the next. Definitely not a good choice for a romance/erotic story. This was a great conclusion to the series and I enjoyed the POV of Caleb but the narration just ruined it for me. If you enjoyed the first two books do yourself a favor and skip the audio - get the print version instead.
"I'll never get enough of Ethan Blackstone"
I loved this conclusion to the Blackstone Affair. Ethan is one of my all-time favorite book boyfriends. Even though this could have been an epilogue I am so glad the author decided to give us a fourth book instead. I love Ethan and Brynne and I enjoyed this final journey of love and healing. It was the perfect conclusion. I also love Shane East and Grace Grant as the narrators.
5 star listen!
"It made my head spin"
Overall I did enjoy this book and I did like the concept of a half-human half-vampire lead character. However, this book lacked some serious editing. The story was choppy and there were way too many plot twists and turns that just didn't make sense. It seemed as though the author threw everything but "the kitchen sink" into this story. It was a little over the top in my opinion. Thankfully this is a very entertaining book at the right price. For that reason I will most likely move on to the 2nd installment.
Ruin and Rising is a beautiful and emotional ending to a fantastic trilogy. I absolutely loved this book and I could not put it down. I lost a lot of sleep over this one and I must say it was well worth the sleepless nights. Much like the previous two books this was a rich story with well-developed characters and plenty of plot twists and turns.
The final installment ties up many loose ends and comes to an absolutely satisfying conclusion. Although many were disappointed by the ending (mainly the love story) I thought the author did a wonderful job of pulling off a love quadrangle. There was never a "clear choice" for Alina and I believe the story came to a logical and satisfying ending.
I cared so much for these characters, including the villain; he was so cruel, calculating and absolutely evil but I still found him completely mesmerizing. Kudos to Bardugo's brilliant writing!
I'm sad to let this story and these characters go, but I look forward to more from such a talented author.
5 HUGE stars!!
"So Beautiful"
I loved this entire series. Laini Taylor is such a talented writer. It's like artistry on paper or ear candy for audible listeners. Her characters are deep with extensive world building - you can't help but get sucked into this fantasy she has created. I crave more and can only hope this is NOT THE END of such a wonderful series. Thank the God Stars, but I really want more!!!
Definitely a 5 star listen!!!!
"Fabulous Final Installment"
I don't know what it is about this series but I was hooked from book 1. This is definitely one of my guilty pleasures. The final installment of "The Selection" may have been predictable but I so enjoyed the journey. Kiera Cass is a very talented author and I look forward to more of her books.
This was a credit-worthy, 5 star listen. Good story, great narration and that cover art is perfection!
Plain and simple I loved this book! It's everything you've come to expect from a JR Ward BDB book. I'm amazed after 12 installments I still find these characters interesting and enjoyable. (unlike other vamp series) Kudos to the brilliant author and fantastic narrator. Keep 'em coming!!
5 Stars!!
"What happened?"
I love Kristen Ashley books, but I did not love this one. It was actually boring (I can't believe I said that about a KA book) and it took some time for me to "care" about the main characters. I just couldn't connect with Lanie and Hop as a couple. It wasn't a bad story, but I found myself stopping this book to do other things like watch tv, read some paperbacks, mall shopping, etc. If I can let a book go for a couple of days and not care about finishing it....well, you know what that means.
Sadly, I was disappointed.
"It should have been called Malaise"
I don't enjoy writing negative reviews, but this book was a huge disappointment for me. I love Lauren Oliver's writing and her Delirium Trilogy is one of my favorites. However, this book was far from being a favorite for me.
At first the story was very promising and there was certainly a thrill factor that perfectly fit the title. Unfortunately it went downhill very quickly and overall was just plain boring. I couldn't sympathize with the characters and most of the plotline I found completely implausible. I get it - Panic is a game born out of small-town boredom, but most of the "tasks" were just reckless and stupid. Nothing was done out of bravery or honor.
I'm giving this one 2.5 stars for two simple reasons. Lauren Oliver's writing style is superb and Sarah Drew's narration is always exciting and engaging. Sadly, I wish I could say the same about the actual book.

jQuery UI—The Dialog: Part 2
In the previous part of the article, we learned how to create a basic dialog, work with dialog's properties and callbacks, and add buttons to the dialog.
In this final part of the article by Dan Wellman, we will learn how to enable animations for the dialog and how to control the dialog programmatically.Read jQuery UI—The Dialog: Part 2 in full
jQuery UI—The Dialog: Part 1
Traditionally, the way to display a brief message or ask a visitor a question would be to use one of JavaScript's native dialog boxes, such as alert or confirm, or to open a new web page with a predefined size, styled to look like a dialog box. Unfortunately, neither of these methods is particularly flexible or engaging. For each problem they solve, several new problems are usually introduced.
Thankfully, the days of resorting to either of the aforementioned techniques are over. We can now make use of the advanced functionality and rich features of the jQuery UI dialog widget. The dialog widget lets us display a message, supplemental content (like images or text), or even interactive content (like forms). It's also very easy to add buttons, such as simple ok and cancel buttons, to the dialog and define callback functions for them in order to react to their being clicked.
In this first part of the article by Dan Wellman, we will complete the following tasks:
- Create a basic dialog
- Create a custom dialog skin
- Work with dialog's properties
- Enable modality and see an overlay
- Add buttons to the dialog
- Work with dialog's callbacks.

Slider for Dynamic Applications using script.aculo.us (part 1)
Handling, processing, and representing data in the 2.0 era of web applications has become so crucial that designers and programmers are working towards new ways of improving the user interface experience. Slider is one such killer concept, using which the user can represent and handle data easily. In this two-part article series we will explore different types of Sliders and code usage and options with a hands-on example with vertical and horizontal slider.
In this article by Sridhar Rao, we shall be covering the following topics:
- First steps with the script.aculo.us slider
- Types of the slider
- Code usage for the slider
Slider for Dynamic Applications using script.aculo.us (part 2)
A slider, according to the dictionary, stands for the one that slides. Yes, a slider in the web application context stands for holding and sliding values from a fixed given range, or even from an array of values. The slider is really useful and worthy in places where the user needs to slide through a lot of values and also the application needs to respond to those values and changes. In the first part we were introduced to types of Sliders and code usage for the slider. This is the second part of a two part article on the concept of sliders using script.aculo.us.
In this article by Sridhar Rao, we shall cover:
- Code usage for the slider and options
- Tips and tricks with the slider
- Hands-on example with vertical and horizontal slider

Exporting data from MS Access 2003 to MySQL
Most businesses use a software mix in their IT arsenal that makes business sense to them. Because of this, often they have to migrate a part, or whole of their data from one software program to another. In this article by Dr. Jay Krishnaswamy, the built-in method of exporting tables in Microsoft Access is explored to take a table in Microsoft over to MySQL, the open source database product that changed hands recently. This article steps you through the process with a number of screen shots to guide you along the way.Read Exporting data from MS Access 2003 to MySQL in full

Social Media in Magento
This article by Richard Carter states that our theming of Magento does not have to stop at changing the way it looks. We can also add aspects of social media to it, such as:
- Integrating your Magento store with Twitter
- Improving your store's customer service
- Using social bookmarking tools such as AddThis to help your customers spread the word about your store across the Internet
With so many e-commerce stores on the Internet, using social media can make a huge difference to your store's fortunes. It can also increase your potential customers and ensure that customers continue to come back.Read Social Media in Magento in full

looks fine to me - are those 6BQ5 outputs?
It's (IME) impossible to build a bad sounding amp - PP or SE - using 6BQ5s :-)
Now, back on topic - how about this goofy SE 7591 stereo console amp? This was a $3 acquisition (the whole console) at a fundraising flea market at our church many years ago. How did it sound? OK - I never tried it with fresh output tubes, though - the originals may have been very tired.

This one isn't mine; I have one, but not prettied up :-)
This is a push-pull EL84 stereo power amp, chassis 93-02, abstracted from an early 1960s Magnavox console. Those old Maggotbox consoles had extremely simple (very low parts count, even kind of crude in design) but surprisingly good sounding amplifiers. They're great starter tube amps for someone who is willing and eager to tinker a little bit.
Mine still looks like this :-) I ususally use it, rather heretically, with a pair of AR-3 three-way acoustic suspension (and quite insensitive) speakers. PS I have a prettier pair of AR-3s than the dump-find pair shown below :-P
Just a little more on the Maggotbox amps. This is an extremely similar one, chassis 88-01 (or 88-02); this one is a push-pull 6V6 stereo amp (about 10 wpc) and also very nice sounding. I was partially responsible for the "modernization" of this one; some of the work was done by its owner.
I hope the below-decks view gives an idea of how little "there" there is there (to paraphrase Gertrude Stein) :-)
Here's another way to see that, if you're used to looking at schematics. Not too much stands between your source and your speakers with an amp like this - and that's generally a good thing :-)
(I edited out the power supply circuit - it, too, is simple but effective)

Upcycled iMac Pet Bed $109
The '90s stay alive—for your animals at least—with this upcycled iMac pet bed. This isn't some nostalgic reproduction, this is the actual shell of a candy-colored computer hollowed out to make room for a cozy nook for a small dog or cat.

Tac + Bjarke Ingels Group
Big Cities Tableware $14+

Jean Jullien
Bum $134
French artist Jean Jullien takes a cheeky look at beach culture through his series of visual ruminations entitled "La Plage." Inspired by the social oddities of hanging seaside and "how naked it all gets," Jullien created pared-down yet vibrant images of ice cream melting, people swimming and of course, the ubiquitous butt. His abstract, Rothko-like giclée print called "Bum" is the perfect subtle reference ready to shine at home.
Pelle Designs
TOD Candle Holders $150
Created by Yale School of Architecture grads Jean and Oliver Pelle, TOD candleholders are designed to highlight the "undesirable" aspects of wood—knots, cracks and discolorations—through the specific gilding of a 24k gold band along the grain.

Levi's RED denim and silk slipper shoes are a marriage of style and comfort that you're bound to wear beyond the bedroom.

Rated 2 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ptim Way, Way Too Small This thing is hopelessly undersized. I bought an XXL and it is an L at best. Despite the Fit Guide stating, "Most of our garments fit a little snug to flatter on almost any body type," they should advertise this as shapewear rather than a sweater. Makes me think that poor little penguin logo has had a hard time breathing since 1975 . . . (Actually, my mom labored in a Munsingwear factory in Minnesota for many years while I was growing up in the 70's and 80's, and back then even the factory seconds fit all of my relatives well.) September 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by griot Not for big guys I am a big guy and I know certain stores don't sponser me as a customer. But usually if I order a XXL the fit is good enough to get by or is perfect. This feels like a L on me. and looks like its fitted for a sweater. Buying a xxl already makes you feel big. But not fitting a xxl makes you feel really bad. April 13, 2013

Cellar/Tasting Notes Bright pale yellow. Pure, discreet pineapple and stone aromas reminded me of a riesling. Brisk and focused, with a saline quality to the grapefruit and white pepper flavors.

Updated Wed. 4 p.m.
State Representative Larry Cafero will be returning to the General Assembly for a ninth term after defeating Kate Tepper in Tuesday's election.
Cafero, the Republican Leader in the House, received 12,211 votes from voters in Norwalk and New Canaan.
Democrat Tepper received 7,732 votes.
Original Story
Republican Larry Cafero and his challenger, Democrat Kate Tepper recently tackled questions on topics ranging from how to deal with the state's fiscal mess to how to attract and retain businesses to how to keep the senior population from leaving for other states during a candidate's debate last month. The newly redrawn 142nd district includes Norwalk and a sliver of New Canaan, whereas prior to redistricting it included only Norwalk.
When asked whether he would lean more toward reducing spending or increasing taxes in order to balance the state budget, Cafero, an eight-term incumbent and lifelong Norwalk resident, said with the current Democratic majority in the House "we certainly did the latter over the past four years — we've increased taxes over $3 billion and unfortunately we still find ourselves with a deficit."
Tepper, also a resident of Norwalk, said although she has heard Republicans complain "a great deal about the enormous tax increase we've had here in Connecticut — it's actually not the greatest tax increase that we've ever had — if you look at it as a percentage of the gross state product, it's actually about ten percent less than the tax increases we saw from 1989 to 1992."
Quick Facts
- Tepper has a degree in English from London University and an associate degree, with honors, in Science and Humanities from Westchester Community College.
- Cafero received a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the University of Connecticut and earned his J.D. from Western New England College School of Law.

John I. Gallin, M.D., director of the NIH Clinical Center (second from left), accepts the 2011 Lasker~Bloomberg award on behalf of the Clinical Center and the NIH.
NIH Clinical Center Receives 2011 Lasker~Bloomberg Public Service Award
Adapted from NIH News
The NIH Clinical Center, the clinical research hospital at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., is the 2011 recipient of the Lasker~Bloomberg Public Service Award. The award was presented by the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation, which has recognized outstanding advances in medical research each year since 1945. The award honors the Clinical Center for serving as a model institution that has transformed scientific advances into innovative therapies and provided high-quality care to patients.
The award recognizes the Clinical Center's rich history of medical discovery through clinical research since it opened in 1953. Over the decades, nearly half a million volunteers have participated in clinical research at the Clinical Center. Its mission has remained providing exceptional clinical care for research volunteers, an environment for innovative bench-to-bedside clinical research, and training for clinical researchers.
"The Clinical Center, the world's largest clinical research hospital, exists to help scientists who are clinicians rapidly translate promising discoveries in the laboratory into new and better ways to treat and prevent disease," said NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. "The Clinical Center's 58-year research portfolio has resulted in remarkable medical advances."
Those medical milestones include development of chemotherapy for cancer; the first use of an immunotoxin to treat a malignancy (hairy cell leukemia); identification of the genes that cause kidney cancer, leading to the development of six new, targeted treatments for advanced kidney cancer; the demonstration that lithium helps depression; the first gene therapy; the first treatment of AIDS (with AZT); and the development of tests to detect AIDS/HIV and hepatitis viruses in blood, which led to a safer blood supply.
"By enabling some of the world's top medical researchers to collaborate in innovative, interdisciplinary ways, the NIH Clinical Center has been pivotal in advancing clinical studies that are at the forefront of solving the nation's most pressing public health issues," said Griffin P. Rodgers, M.D., M.A.C.P., director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
"The Clinical Center's work has always depended on patients and healthy individuals from around the world who volunteer for clinical research here," said John I. Gallin, M.D., director of the NIH Clinical Center. "Our patients include those with rare diseases, common disorders, and undiagnosed conditions. There are about 1,500 clinical research studies under way today and the patients and healthy volunteers who participate in them are true partners in research."
Advancements through clinical research also depend on having a cadre of investigators trained to do it, Gallin added. "Students in the health sciences and clinicians come here to learn how to conduct clinical research by working closely with NIH investigators. Since 1995, more than 22,000 students around the world have participated in the Clinical Center's clinical research training curriculum offered through distance-learning programs."
The original hospital, the Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center, opened in 1953. A new research hospital, the 240-bed Mark O. Hatfield Clinical Research Center, opened in 2004. Most of NIH's 27 institutes and centers conduct clinical research at the Clinical Center through their programs on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Md. NIH plans to open the facility for use by external researchers, based on the 2010 recommendations from the Scientific Management Review Board, established under the NIH Reform Act of 2006, which will allow the Clinical Center to facilitate clinical research on a broader scale.

** FILE ** Former Washington Redskins defensive lineman Benard Jackson in this July 29, 2003 file photo, sports his Redskin helmet that shows the logo at Redskins Park in Ashburn, Va. A federal judge has overturned a ruling that canceled the Washington Redskins trademark, finding there was insufficient evidence to conclude the name is disparaging to American Indians. (AP Photo/Ron Edmonds) ORG XMIT: WX107 / Ron Edmonds, AP
The Washington Redskins have responded to increased media attention surrounding a potential name change by posting a bizarre story on its website that uses quotes from public school employees to defend the team's name.
A high-school athletic director and a principal, both of whom work in different Ohio schools with "Redskins" as a team name, are cited in the lead story on redskins.com.
"We are very proud of our athletic teams and very proud to be called Redskins!" Coshocton High School athletic director George Hemming said, as quoted in the opening sentence of the piece.
No member of the Redskins organization is quoted in the piece, meaning the official website of the team is using two random school employees (neither of whom work in the Washington D.C. area) to serve as proxy defenders of a franchise that's worth more than one billion dollars. Instead of using its own forum to address the issue, the Redskins got two people who have nothing to do with the NFL to serve as a mouthpiece.
The move to change the Redskins name because of its offensive Native American connotations has gained momentum thanks to increased press coverage and quotes from prominent public figures like D.C. mayor Vincent Gray.
If the support of school officials in the Ohio Valley aren't enough to end the debate, Redskins.com also found that 70 schools use the name Redskins, compared to 75 for Cowboys and 19 for Giants.
Great. And one school has the name Hot Dogs, another has the name Cornjerkers and my cat's breath smells like cat food. What does this have to do with anything?
That a principal in Ohio is proud of the nickname means no more to the Washington Redskins as a school in Montana voting to change the nickname last year. That 70 schools have kept the name means no more than the dozens who haven't. There are diverging viewpoints on the issue and they are increasingly serious. It's time for the Redskins to treat them as such.

The breaks are only two to three miles wide but stretch miles from Rawlins County into Cheyenne and into parts of Colorado and Nebraska.They were formed thousands of years ago by windblown silt called loess washed from the face of the Rocky Mountains and onto the plains of western Kansas. Rainfall is less than 20 inches a year in this part of Kansas. It is also often coldest, snowiest corner of the state.

Dubbed "Big Brutus," the enormous power shovel towered 15 stories high and weighed 11 million pounds. Purchased in 1962 from the Bucyrus-Erie Company of Milwaukee, the machine's cost was $6.5 million. To ship the shovel to Cherokee County, 150 railroad cars were needed, and once there it took a year to build. The shovel could move 150 tons of coal in one bite. Brutus is part of the mining legacy in southeastern Kansas.
The years have taken their toll on a Route 66 sign in downtown Baxter Springs, Ks. The historic highway ran from Chicago to Los Angeles clipping the southeast corner of Kansas.
A stone marker constructed in the 30's marks the Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma board.

So - I am looking for a new cassette deck such as the Sony TC-WE475, or an older cassette deck like the Nakamichi Dragon because I find that I prefer the analog sound of cassette tapes over the harsh sound of digital. The roll-off at approximately 16-18kHz of tapes sounds really pleasant to my ears.
I spent the past week listening to old cassette tapes (most of them were of myself performing in piano competitions, talent shows, etc.) and really like the warmth of the sound vs. the harshness of digital.
That being said, what would be best for *playback only* of old cassette tapes? I have a collection of approximately 50 cassettes with serious nostalgic value that I could never part with. Some of them can never be replaced, so I'd like to keep the tapes and deck for as long as possible.
Would a Nakamichi Dragon be the best choice?
Also, since I find that I really like the analog sound, I might buy a turntable in the future. How is the Music Hall MMF-9.1 as a starter turntable? I have some vinyl (33's and 45's) but absolutely NOTHING to play them with.

The sudden change of the camera angle to the mascot character's back while Suguri was on the podium looks like the camera man tried not to shoot what she did there and it just looks so strange and insane!
I think those who got ignored by her have something in common but I'm not sure what it is. Higher finishers? Skaters with higher world rankings?

Oh for the days when skaters did it right. Sonia would have worn an ankle length ermine coat.
So today, I was on my way home from work and I saw Fumie push an old lady whilst crossing the street!!! She almost fell and Fumie just ignored her and walked on.
(Disclaimer: This might or might not be true)
My job requires me to be a juggler, but that does not mean that I enjoy working with clowns.
The event was held by team match style between the 16 teams composed by each two skaters who represented each prefecture.
These 16 prefecture teams are upper 8 teams in the said event in last season and 8 teams which got the qualification in the qualification meeting before the event.
The competition was scored by 'the ISU Judging System'.
On the total numerical value of the last ranking of two players who have participated in the event, the team which got the smaller value becomes the higher place.
When the value is the same, the team which contains a higher ranking player in the individual result becomes a higher place.
It is the team competition which the ranking of each team is fixed by the total of the results of two players of each team after the 32 participation players competed in the short program and the upper 24 players competed in the free skating.
The places of the prefecture teams
1. Tokyo (Imai, Nishino) =5 Points
2. Hyogo (Muramoto, Muramoto) =9 points
3. Aichi (Suzuki, Mitsuya) =18 points
4. Hokkaido (Kokubu, Sasaki) =19 points
5. kanagawa (Suguri, Ishii) =20 points
6. Kyoto (Inoue, Sawada) =22 points
7. Hiroshima (Kono, Tsubota) =24 points
8. Saitama (Hasegawa, Asami) =27 points
omitting the rest
The results of the indibidual players
1. Haruka Imai (Tokyo) =175.83 (SP=1, FS=1)
2. Akiko Suzuki (Aichi) =158.17 (SP=2, FS=3)
3. Satsuki Muramoto (Hyogo) =155.04 (SP=6, FS=2)
