Duke Nukem Forever Video Interview Shows Gameplay, Steve Gibsonby Alice O'Connor, Feb 11, 2011 12:20pm PST
We know when Duke Nukem Forever is coming and what's in the $100 Balls of Steel Edition, so what comes next is surely a better peek at the game in motion. Publisher 2K has kindly produced a few snippets of gameplay today, wrapped up in an interview with Steve Gibson, marketing VP at Gearbox and founder of something called 'Shacknews.'
This Gibson chap here talks about Gearbox taking over the game, messing around in the environment, and just plain having fun. Apparently this "fun" thing is quite good.
Duke Nukem Forever is probably, almost definitely coming out on May 3, hitting PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. For more Duke, check out Garnett's recent hands-on preview.

I'm debating whether to return this robe or to keep it and be less than thrilled. As other reviewers have noted, the robe just doesn't close sufficiently in front so that when I sit, it opens up. I ordered the S/M, as I wear a size 4 or 6, but it still doesn't close completely in front. The fabric is nice and the color is a rich brown, but I can see being really uncomfortable come a cold winter morning

I was looking for a luxury robe the kind that you get at 5 star hotels and after reading some reviews purchased this one. I like it, it's definitely a better quality than majority of the robes that previously ordered online. Keep in mind - it's very warm, so if your house / apartment is also warm, you'd be boiling in about 5 minutes of wearing it. The fit runs a bit large, even though it shrunk a little bit after its first wash. I ordered small/medium and it is perfect for my size (i am about 5'5" and normally wear size 8 or 10 clothing). Only thing i didn't like is that the closure is on the "wrong" side.. combined with a sizes running a little large makes me think this is really a men's robe, but hey, it works fine... I am getting used to closing it to the left. If it wasn't for shrinkage and wrong side of closure I would have given it 5 stars. And yes, if I had to get a replacement, I would purchase this robe again - just haven't found anything better so far.

I love this wrap. I want to buy a few as gifts for friends for the upcoming holidays. Nice to know they will see I thought of them with the monograms. Nice and soft.

I was very pleased with the quality. I wanted something cooler for summer and these cotton robes are light weight but not too thin. They do run larger. The S/M is definitely a medium/large... Good for me :) If they shrink at all it will be ok. Love the monogram letter too. Got my husband (230 lbs) a L/XL and it fits him well - loose and comfy.
Jun 28, 2014mtreview from Missoula, MT, Rating:1.0
I keep washing this miserable thing, hoping all the loose ends will work free. Turns out, it's one giant loose end! Horrible robe, and I'm very very disappointed. Don't the buyers look at these things? Wash them?? Looks like trash, and I'm throwing it away.
Jun 25, 2014phantomranger from Chapel Hill, NC, Rating:5.0
Very nice, soft, lightweight robes -- great value for the price. We ordered two, one for my husband and one for me, and this after looking at many much more expensive "hotel" robes. I liked these because of the shawl (rather than kimono) collar. The sleeves are nice because they aren't super blousy--you could do things like cooking or working on the computer while wearing this robe. Only slight issue is that sizing is not very finely calibrated. I ordered S/M for me (I am 5'5", 132 lbs), and it could have stood to be a little bigger around--but the L/XL we bought for my husband is def too big for me. But I'm quite happy!

Oakley Private Night Pipe Shoot!
So in unheralded proportions Oakley's ski and snowboard team destroyed Copper Mountain's early season (and only open) Superpipe under private lights. Oakley brought the heavy hitters, Kevin Pearce, Tanner Hall, Simon Dumont, Dustin Craven, Jossi Wells, Stale Sandbech and even Torstein Horgmo with many other team crushers.
Big thanks to Lauren, Pete, David Lee and Park Crew from Copper Mountain for making this insane session go down right before the first, Olympic Qualifying US Grand Prix.
To tell the story would not do it justice… you will just have to wait for the FUEL TV special feature during Oakley Week of The Daily Habit, airing January 12th – 16th.

College graduates are sorting themselves into elite cities
Census data suggests that in 1980 a college graduate could expect to earn about 38 percent more than a worker with only a high-school diploma. Since then, the difference in their wages has only widened as our economy has shifted to bestow greater and greater rewards on the well-educated. By 1990, that number was about 57 percent. By 2011: 73 percent.

The Islandia is a big 22-footer with good handling abilities thanks to her jet drive engine. She has seating for up to twelve, which means you won't have to leave any of your friends behind.
A veratile sportboat that can be used for waterskiing, sunbathing, or simply pulled up to the beach for a picnic.
The enclosed head area and changing room is an attractive feature that will definitely keep all the women happy. A convenient food preperation area with sink, cooler, and trash container is a handy fe
The aft sunpad converts into a bench seat for three when cruising. The swim platform on this boat is big enough for a couple kids to sit on while they put on their snorkle gear.
The Islandia offers a good amount of space for a 22-footer, and with an 8'6" beam she's a stable ride at high speeds.
The Islandia combines all the space of a deckboat with the benefits of jet power and the look of a sport boat. Her jet drive engine offers lots of benefits including fast, powerful acceleration, greater handling abilities which means no slipping in tight turns, and a shoal draft, meaning it can venture into areas where most boats her size wouldn't dare. Most importantly the jet drive engine obviously provides greater operating safety. The Islandia is a big 22-footer with seating for twelve. A back seat can either be used as a sunpad, or the seats lift up to become a huge recliner. Either way, it's designed for ultimate comfort. There's a double helm seat for extra comfort or another passenger that tilts sideways in order to socialize with the rest of the crowd. The bow provides seating room for five and she can be reboarded from the bow as well as the stern by a ladder that's concealed in a forward hatch.A food preparation area with sink, cooler and trash container adds convenience and creature comforts to a 22-footer, as does the spacious changing room and starboard head, just forward of the helm. The swim platform is big enough for two kids to sit side by side and put on their water gear. The ski tow eye makes the Islandia a good ski boat, and the ladder lets you get in and out of the water easily. The Islandia is loaded with standard features such as non-skid decking, padded bolster seating, a control steering system which lets you steer at low speeds, ski storage in the sole, and AM/FM stereo with CD player. In addition, she has reboarding platforms on both the bow and stern, which is an unusual feature. There's a built-in cooler, glove compartment, and ski pylon and tow hook for waterskiers or wakeboarders. The water-resistant gauges are backlit, so they're easy to read at night, and there's a 12-volt jack so you can plug in a cell phone or spotlight.The Islandia is powered by a single 240-hp Mercury M2 EFI jet engine that was developed specifically for this model. Out on the water she turned out to be a good performer jumping out of the hole in just 3.2 seconds and reaching a top speed of 40.5 mph at 4500 rpm. Her best cruise was 26.8 mph giving her a range of 98 miles on a full tank of fuel. Overall, the Sea-Doo Islandia has a lot to offer for a 22-footer. She's not only a good performer, but she's also a versatile sport boat that can be transformed to suit your needs, whether it's waterskiing you like, pulling up to a beach for a picnic, or simply sun bathing, the Islandia is an ideal platform for these activities.

Freedom of the Sea's in Port Canaveral, Florida
A very relaxing cruise, 7 days headed for the Western Caribbean. Day 1 stayed in Port Canaveral, Day 2 at sea, Day 3 Labadee Haiti a private island for RC, Day 4 Ocho Rios Jamacia, Day 5 Georgetown, Grand Cayman, Day 6 Cozumel, Mexico, Day 7 our return back...how fast this time goes by~
Starting out our cruise, welcome aboard craved out watermelons, amazing ice sculptures, and a huge luncheon and assortment of special desserts, chocolate covered fruits, tarts, cakes.
We chose a room with our own private balcony, peaceful and warm.
Every night, our attendant would leave us a towel animal, cute little elephant, a different one every night.
Formal night we got to eat my favorite, lobster. Loved the way everything is served on the ship so perfect in presentation and no cooking for me!
Well I got to do my favorite past time, watch fabulous chefs cook in front of me, give me tips and make some fantastic Italian foods. Chefs from the Portofino Intimate Italian Dining Restaurant. They had a demonstration, I got to watch help and later eat some amazing risotto, bruschetta and mouth watering desserts.
|Just amazing ice sculptures everywhere, one more beautiful than the other, and flowers made out of vegetables.
|In the Grand Cayman we did a excursion with Stingrays and snorkeling. Yes, that's me with the stingrays all around. You can see their tales in the water swimming by me, very slimy but fun.
|Not one of my favorites parts of my trip, I hate losing my money! The casino was not my friend. (laughing)
|On deck 14 we can see the whole ship and the fun on board, peaceful up there, had a nice glass of Cabernet and relaxed while at sea.
|Pineapple, cantaloupe, another amazing sculpture with fruit.
Crimini Mushroom Alfredo Fettuccine.
The Ruins in Tulum, lots of history, walking a very well worth it trip in Cozumel. The water was gorgeous, but it was 105 degrees and 88% humidity that day...
We got up watched the sunrise on our balcony set up for a day for snorkeling, stingrays and lots of fun.
Our reservation for Portofino, we had everything I mentioned that I watched them cook except for my husbands large Italian spiced Tbone and desserts, what a huge assortment of wonderful Italian pastry that kept coming. What a perfect ending to a wonderful trip! Freedom of the Sea's treated us well, the food was superb and the customer service was outstanding. Can't wait to go back again, a lovely anniversary for us to celebrate 10 years married. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Thanks for reading (smile). Please scroll down for the recipe for risotto, you won't be sorry~
Risotto with Prawns
1 to 1-1/2 cups chicken broth, hot
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced shallots
1/2 cup Arborio rice
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground white pepper
8 large Tiger fresh shrimp, peeled, deveined, and halved lengthwise
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Minced fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
In a small saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to very low, cover, and keep hot.
Put 2 tablespoons each of the butter and olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the garlic and shallots and saute, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until soft but not yet browned, about 3 minutes.
Add the rice and saute, stirring, until the rice grains are well coated, about 1 minute. Add the wine and boil it, stirring until it has been almost completely absorbed by the rice, about 3 minutes.
Using a large spoon or ladle, add about 1/2 cup of the hot broth to the rice. Still over medium heat, stir constantly until the broth has been absorbed and the rice looks almost dry, about 3 minutes. Add another spoonful and repeat, stirring after each addition until it has been absorbed, continuing just until most of the broth has been used and the rice is tender surrounded by a creamy sauce.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining butter and the Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and white pepper and, if the risotto seems a little dry, stir in the last of the broth.
Immediately heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and white pepper and saute them until they turn white and firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle them with lemon juice.
Spoon the risotto a bed on 2 serving plates and arrange the shrimp attractively on top. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

I've written a few articles about fostering dogs over the past two years, and multiple readers from the Patch community have stepped up to become foster families. It's great to see more and more people becoming aware of dog rescue, getting involved, and understanding the importance and vital need of fostering. Fostering is the backbone of rescue, and we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes.
It was only a few years ago that I learned about fostering and how it works. Fostering involves opening your heart and home to a pup in need, and giving them a safe place to land and some TLC until they've found their new home. Some foster pups are easier than others, but all bring great joy and the reward of knowing that you played a part in saving that dog's life and helping them find a loving family.
How Does Fostering Work?
Mutts Matter is a network of volunteers, so we don't have a facility or full-time staff. When we rescue a dog from a shelter or bad situation, we need to have a safe place for them to go so they can begin their transition to home life. Foster families not only provide a loving, temporary home for a dog, they are our insight into the dog's personality and behavior, and help them learn how to be part of a family. As the dog begins to realize they are safe and cared for, they begin to trust and open up, and the families help us get a better sense of their good and bad habits, level of socialization, and the type of home and family that will best suit them.
Everyone benefits from the foster process. The foster family gets a rewarding experience and is able to see real, tangible results from the time and love they invest. The foster dog gets a break from a stressful life in a shelter or some other unfortunate circumstance, and only has to worry about being a dog again. The adopters get a dog that's better socialized and adapted to home life, and receive first-hand perspective and guidance from the foster family who has lived with and often rehabilitated their dog.
Foster Families Come In All Shapes & Sizes
Our foster families vary greatly, from single moms to families with four children, to graduate students, to retirees and singles who are looking for companionship and want to give back. They are your neighbors, friends, and coworkers who all have busy lives, but make time and selflessly give these innocent pups a second chance at a great life, and sometimes their first positive human experience.
I spoke with some of Mutts Matter's foster families to understand how they got involved in fostering and what it means to them. Some enjoy helping the dog transition and watching them blossom, some love the fact that they are bringing joy to a family, and making a difference in the life of another person while helping a deserving dog find a loving home. Some are looking for companionship, or testing the waters to see if they're ready for the responsibility of full-time dog ownership. They come to fostering for different reasons, but they're all making a difference, and are essential to what we do.
How To Get Started
If you have some time, patience, and love to share, please consider volunteering to care for a rescue dog in your home. Mutts Matter will cover the cost of vet care, medication, and food as needed. You provide the comfort of your home and some TLC until they find their permanent family. Time commitments for fostering can vary from a few days to a few months – it depends on how long it takes for the right adoptive family to be identified and approved for your foster pup.
As the foster parent, you will get to know the dog better than anyone and we rely on your insight. Mutts Matter includes our foster families in the adoption process and you have input into the placement decisions. While the foster dog is in your care, MMR volunteers will work with you to screen prospective adopters, make home visits, and find the perfect match for your foster pup.
How You Can Help During the Holidays?
Life in today's world is busy. We all have family, professional, and social obligations, and many of us work long hours, so it's hard to find extra time to give back to your community. The holidays are a time when rescues are stretched particularly thin. Temporary fostering is one way to help a dog in need over the holidays. A lot of our foster families are traveling during this time and can't take their foster pups with them, so we need to find temporary homes for a defined period of time – a few days to two weeks. It's a great way to try fostering, and to help a dog who needs to know that they are safe and loved until they find their family.
Dog are the most grateful, loving, and loyal creatures. By fostering, you're not only saving the life of your foster dog, but you are making room for another dog in a shelter somewhere to have a second chance at a good life.
A special Thank You to all the wonderful foster families who do such great work for Mutts Matter Rescue!

By Toru Kuro-o
In august 3rd, the training camp for the players who participate to Grand Prix series was opened to public and Knako Murakami etc showed the new program for this season.
Murakami who attained to her second year in senior choreographed in abroad. As for the short program (SP), she requested to an able coach, Tatiana Tarasova and, as for the free skating, she requested Marina Zueva. However, as for SP, she suggested also the possibility to set aside while being in this season, saying, "I can not digest it well yet because it is difficult"
As for the Men, each player adopts the quadruple jump.
Nobunari Oda did the practice of the spin mainly, because he has the left knee ache, but he is going to adopt the quad jump, with once in SP and with twice in FS.

Translated from Japanese.
Mao was down with overwork. The introduction of her new program was postponed.
August 4th, 2011 JST
In August 3rd, it was found that Mao Asada had been down with overwork.
In the ice arena of Chukyo University in Aichi prefecture, the training camp for the players who participate to GP series of next season was opened to public and Mao planed to show the new program but postponed the participation by reason of poor health.
As for the poor health of Mao Asada, Japan Skating Federation explained that the overcrowded schedule, such as new program making and the ice show of the end of July, told on her health, because the starting period of off season was delayed about one month from usual season under the influence of the East Japan Big Earthquake Disaster.
At the rink which becomes the place of showing the new program, we could not watch Mao's appearance. In the morning of August 1st which is the first day of the training camp, Mao appealed the poor health and made contact with JSF, saying that she does not participate to the training camp and would like to take rest in her home.
In front of the press corps of about 40 persons who participated, Nobuhiko Yoshioka the Chief Director of Training of JSF spoke inarticulately, saying "How should I explain it. I am sorry because it is this situation although you have come. I don't know what situation she is in, except that she is in poor health".
Under the influence of East Japan Big Earthquake Disaster, the holding term of the Worlds was changed from the end of March to the end of April and the holding place was changed from Tokyo to Moscow.
After spending the off season shorter than usual year, she made the programs for SP and for FS of this season complete at a high pace within June and participated to the tour of ice show, such as in Aichi (July 23rd-24th), in Hachinohe city, Aomori (July 27th) and in Osaka (July 30th-31st).
Yoshioka Chief Director of Training explained that she seems to have injured her health condition a little, because there was a movement etc of long distance while participating to the three consecutive public performances of the ice show in the end of July.
Moreover he said, "The training camp is also the place for checking the program component scores etc of the new program of next season of the players who participate to GP series, but we could not watch her program". As for Mao who aims at the recovering from the 6th place in the Worlds of April, NHK Trophy (in Sapporo, in November 11th-13th) which is her first event of next season seems to become the place where she show the new program for the first time.
Daisuke Takahashi (25, Kansai Graduate School) expressed the nonparticipation to the training camp beforehand. Takahashi who is in a training camp in Hokkaido is going to tune himself up in US from August 7th, because the tuning after the surgical operation of left knee in May is delaying. Takahiko Kozuka (22, Toyota Motor) went to US in August 2nd, after participating to the training camp in the first day, because the choreography of SP and FS does not complete yet.
Yoshioka Chief Director of training said, "If being in usual year, it is the time that the program has completed...,but"
The influence of the earthquake disaster seems to have reached slowly to the figure skating world, too.

Adding to the above news links:
On Asada:
JSF explained that Asada is exhausted because of the stress caused by the earthquake (training was delayed plus doing lots of charity ice shows).
Nobuhiko Yoshioka of JSF could only apologize to the press "I don't know what to say. We are very sorry to the media that Asada couldn't show up. All we know that she isn't feeling very well"
Takahashi is training in the US.
Kozuka attended the camp and then headed to the US on the 2nd. Both of his programs are yet to be finished.
Oda who underwent knee surgery in May and is attending the camp. He told the press that he is "training carefully to avoid further injuries and will gradually gearing up" His programs were already completed by early June. Both (SP and FS) are "swinging, jazzy tunes" He wrapped up the press conference "I'm aiming for a medal and a win"
well,now I hope Mao can have a rest like Miki....the earthquake affect her so badly...
I really do hope he does really well this season. I hope he's able to pace himself and peak at the right time. He seems like such a sweetheart and down to earth; I want to see him do well.
And please, please let him prepare so he doesnt repeat the same mistakes!!! I'm so keeping my fingers crossed.
I may need to clarify, just in case, that the earthquake messed up the skater's schedules. Hence, the programs not ready, etc.
I hope Mao gets some rest. she looked so exhausted and thin at Worlds and was cited saying that she hadnt been able to eat properly after the eartquake.
All the best to her.
Tarasova and Zueva for Murakami, great. What a killer combo...

Kanako Murakami who is showing the refreshing smiling face after the practice.
In Toyota city in Aichi prefecture in August 3rd, Japan Skating Federation released the training camp of the players who participate to Grand Prix series which is opened in October.
16 years old Kanako is an adult woman!
Kanako Murakami (Chukyo University Chukyo High School) selected Mendelssohn's "Violin Concerto" as the music of the free skating of this season.
With the music which Ando used for the free skating in 2007, she was intent on it with the refreshing smiling face, saying, "I performed the adult role in last year, but I would like to perform the real adult in this year. I would like to express the adult-like".
For mastering the choreography, she had been to US twice from May and seems to have felt the effect, saying "I was confused for foreign lesson of the first time, but I learned how to use the body, expression of the face, etc".

Hope she gets her health completely back to normal soon.
A close friend of mine lived through the Istanbul earthquake some years ago and she said that for at least a year she was afraid to fall asleep, and developed constant insomnia and horrible migraines. The effects of emotional stress can be very long- lasting, hope Mao takes it easy and does not put pressure on herself.
improving my ballad- like lines
Surely, she recovers soon.
I think that the cause of her poor health is not in mental aspect but merely fatigue by the tour etc.
I think that Mao Asada did not feel directly the uneasiness or the fear from the East Japan Big Earthquake Disaster itself because her city was about 850km away from the earthquake center in March 11th.
In March 11th, I experienced the said disaster in my city which was about 500km away from the earthquake center.
In that time, I felt that the earthquake was most big one which I had experienced so far, but I did never feel directly the uneasiness or the fear from that earthquake. Her city is about 350km away from my city moreover.

Miki Ando who is showing the soft and gentle performance. (In Okazaki city in Aichi prefecture in August 13th)
By Tadakazu Nakamura
In August 13th, Miki Ando who won the championship in the Worlds of April participated to the ice show "Prince Ice Worlds 2011" which was held in Okazaki city in Aichi prefecture. It was her first ice show in her hometown Aichi prefecture after winning the championship in the Worlds. As for two stages in the ice show in this day, the audience of 4,800 in total visited.
Miki Ando who wore the costume in snow white showed the splendid jump and the soft and gentle performance, while skating to the music "A Thousand Winds" which is the English version of "Sen no Kaze ni Natte".
Her pose which joins her hands in prayer after opening her arms widely attracted the audience.
In the ending of the ice show, there was a performance which she with smiling face knock the Worlds silver medalist Takahiko Kozuka out with hitting with a boxing glove, too. The audience, too, had been knocked out by Miki's smiling face which looks attractive on the ice.

Bryna Oi has teamed up with Taiyo Mizutani and they are planning to compete as seniors in Japan this season.
Taiyo Mizutani finished 2nd in Senior Dance to the Reeds with his former partner, Emi Hirai, at 2010 and 2011 Japan Nationals.Bryna Oi and Mark Jahnke, who finished in fifth place in the novice division at the 2011 U.S. championships, have each found a new partner for the coming season. Oi, who is Curran Oi's sister, has teamed up with Taiyo Mizutani. The team is training in Ann Arbor with Yasa Nechaeva and Yuri Chesnichenko and planning to compete as seniors in Japan this season.
"We're both really excited to start training!" Oi told us. "We found each other through icepartnersearch.com. Taiyo is learning English, and I'm planning to take a Japanese class this year. My dad is Japanese by descent, but he was born in the U.S."
Popular Athletes in Japan
An opinion research by Chuo Chosasha, published on August 16th
1 Ichiro Suzuki (MLB, Seattle Mariners)
2 Ryo Ishikawa (golfer)
3 Yuto Nagatomo (footballer, Inter Milan)
4 Hakuho (Sumo wrestler)
5 Shigeo Nagashima (legendary pro baseball player/manager)
6 Mao Asada (figure skater)
7 Sadaharu Oh (legendary pro baseball player/manager)
8 Kaio (Sumo wrestler)
9 Hideki Matsui (MLB, Oakland Athletics)
10 Homare Sawa (woman footballer)
11 Masahiro Tanaka (professional baseball player)
12 Ai Miyazato (golfer)
12 Kimiko Date (tennis player)
14 Yu Darvish (professional baseball player)
14 Makoto Hasebe (footballer)
14 Keisuke Honda (footballer)
One year ago, Asada was the 2nd and Takahashi was the 7th. Ando is nowhere near the top 15. Sawa made a big breakthrough obviously.
well it's not surprising that Mao has dropped down a bit compared to last season, seeing the hard and disappointing season she is coming from, since usually those list reflect on the success of the athletes... but Mao having such a high placement considering the hardships she has been through and having her worst season to date shows how popular she is and remains even after having had a terrible season (compared to her usual standards...)
I just found this performance by Yuki Nishino, and really liked her flow, extensions. How old is she? Is she eligible to compete at worlds in 2012? She could have a bright future if she is able to do the difficult jumps. This one was an exhibition, so it's hard to tell, but her jumps seemed smooth.
I believe she may be back on the JGP this fall (she's currently listed among the alternates) and has competed previously in a Senior B (4th at 2009 Ondrej Nepela Memorial).
ETA: Nishino's ISU bio doesn't include her 2011 Senior Nationals placement -- 6th -- behind Ando, Asada, Murakami, Suzuki, and Risa Shoji.

also wanda needs to be frontlines to decrypt, so we'll have to wait and see if stanley lets her off the leash. we already know she's not loyal to him. if stanley knew she'd be locked in a dungeon based on his previous outrage over her failling him.
Yes, Stanley is not comfortable with the situation, no more than most anyone would be at such abrupt changes in the order of things. He is comfortable enough with decrypted units to make Ansom a chief warlord, though, so he is apparently able to overcome misgivings when faced with sufficient potential benefits.

Old, lonely, pathos-hungry, and extremely gullible
Just finished Slammerkin by Emma Donoghue. Not exactly a fun book but so well written and brilliantly tragic.
"Beautiful things don't ask for attention." -The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
I'm about 1/4 of the way through A Tale for the Time Being, the latest by Ruth Ozeki. I loved her previous books (My Year of Meats and All Over Creation), but so far this one surpasses those. She's weaved together 2 characters' lives by the done-before but still effective device of a found diary -- but with the added twist of it floating in on the debris stream from the 2011 Japan tsunami that's washing ashore in British Columbia. Add to that her powerful imagery, engaging characters, and environmental themes, and you have a winner. Loving it so far!
I'm currently alternating One of Ours with the new Mae Murray bio. Murray has a rep for being the quintessential batshit crazy silent movie star with one great performance in her, The Merry Widow (MGM, 1925). I look forward to reading about her feud with director Erich von Stroheim (who plays Max in Sunset Boulevard). I'm particularly curious as to how she managed to survive the Depression after getting cleaned out financially by her husband and blackballed by MGM.
My job requires me to be a juggler, but that does not mean that I enjoy working with clowns.
After meting it out bit by bit since it's been published, I finally finished Robert Caro's "The Passage of Power" about the run up to the 1960 Presidential campaign through Johnson's years as Vice President and then through beginning of the Johnson presidency after the assassination of JFK. I'd recommend it as well as the rest of Caro's series on Johnson. I don't know what I'm going to do after the fifth and final volume is published.
"The team doesn't get automatic capacity because management is mad" -- Greg Smith, agile guy
I just listened to the new book "Six Years" by Harlen Coben on audible and really loved it. It is full of suspense and very unpredictable - sort of a mystery/thriller with romance as the backdrop. I could have done with a little bit less description of his intense, unwavering feelings but in general I would recommend it. It would be a good summer read for lying at the beach.

On the off chance you guys are not tired of me mentioning WW2 books, I found another one that is worth reading. The book is called "Bringing Mulligan Home". It is new and written by journalist Dale Mulligan who's father was in Okinawa and was haunted by demons the rest of his life. The War in the pacific was totally different from the War in Europe and things there was not quite always clear. It was not until after his father died that Mulligan started to track down his father's former Marine buddies and piece together his Dad's wartime experiences. Haven't readily yet but plan to soon.
I deleted about 100 books off my Kindle last night. I read about 10 of them, the others were freebies that looked interesting at the time. There's easily 200+ left. There's also 2 shelves full of 'need to read' and another 6 next to my chair at home. I am now in the mindset that I must get through my piles of virutal and real books before I even think about buying another. This does not count my library holds though. I need those...
acraven keeps giving me her books that she's ready to part with much faster than I can keep up with reading them. Not to mention those I buy myself.
I bought another one and downloaded 2 freebies today. But, one was a free Hunger Games cookbook (unofficial) - does food count?
PS - thanks Puglover, I'll reserve that book, I was on the fence about it.
So I read Maeve Binchy's last novel A Week in Winter from the library. I'm glad I didn't spend money on it. It wasn't as syrupy sweet as Minding Frankie, but it had all the trademarks of her last several books: random strangers together, magical place making everything better, "spinster" woman whose mere presence solves everyone's life problems, etc...There was one character who walked away the same as she came and had real potential to have a story but that was not developed at all.
I remember loving some of her older work, especially Firefly Summer and Circle of Friends (which has a much less cloying ending than the movie version). But I feel like as she got older, she just loved her characters too much to put them through real tragedy or conflict or make them find their own way out.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...cm_cd_asin_lnk Reviews actually liked it. Not sure if it's a US only deal though.
I finished 'Sarah's Key' tonight. I really wanted to love this book. Dealt superficially with the 1942 French roundup of Jewish men, women, and children. It jumped back and forth between 2002 and 1942, and was too disjointed for me. Our 'heroine', a writer just annoyed me from page 1. And Sarah was ignored, although her story was the one that really mattered. It could have been great. Instead, it's back to the library and I'm glad I didn't buy it.
PDilemma - I've got A Week in Winter coming eventually from the library. The librarian summed up Maeve nicely 'she takes forever to make a point'. But, I love Maeve. And Rosamund Pilcher.
Finished The Killing Floor (first Jack Reacher novel) and loved it. I know many of you have read the others - are they as good? Might just buy the next two and then go from there.
Although it's definitely violent - I could do without the torture/sicko stuff, but thankfully that happened off camera so to speak - I enjoyed the aspect of it. There were a few logical leaps that seemed unrealistic such as
Spoilerhis smart brother leaving phone numbers and clues lying around - there's no way he'd need to write down those clues - and Reacher deducing where Hubble was? That was plain luck and far too convenient for this story - the author could have easily built in some clue from the prison time instead.
But one thing I really was the ending. Too often in these books - I'm looking at you James Rollins -
Spoilerthe hero falls for a girl he's known five minutes, then proceeds to risk his life and everyone else's for her, and at they ride off into the sunset together, *barf* and also totally unrealistic. Next book, they have to explain why the hero had to shed the love of his life, so as to free him up for the next hot chick. In this book, I loved that the chapter started with "it didn't work out," and logically explained why. For that matter, I liked that Roscoe got bundled off for the climax of the story, so that it was about Reacher, not her. Wouldn't mind if she turned up in future, but happy he's not tied to her.
And there's no way I'm seeing the movie, ever. Tom Cruise in Top Gun, Mission Impossible, etc no problem. But Jack Reacher? No flippin' way.
I know there are some romance novel readers out there. I took some time off last week and needed some really light reading and stumbled upon Julia Quinn's Bridgerton Series (the lives and loves of eight brothers and sisters, Regency style). The "formula" was easy to spot, but the characters were fun and she writes snappy dialogue. Good, fun fluff.
If this is to end in fire
Then we will all burn together
Nan, you've likely already run across this author before, but just in case you might want to try Jennifer Crusie. She started as a romance writer and evolved into a kind of anti-chick lit writer. Recently injecting more of the supernatural in her stories, which not everyone likes, and ditto her collaborations with another writer. But there's a chunk of books in the middle - around Welcome to Temptation and Faking It - that are quite good. Fun characters well drawn, romance that's a bit more real, light reads.
Thanks, Jenny. I'll look her up. I seem to swing back and forth between murder mysteries, science fiction, romance and a host of other things. Is that a sign of a multiple personality??

I ordered these about a month ago and I'm lovin' em. My feet freeze from fall to spring and these have been wonderful to keep my toes toasty. I normally wear a 9 or 10 so I ordered a 10. After the wool adjusted to my foot I could have used a 9. I have wide feet and they still are loose. A little extra length or width is fine for a scuff slipper and I'm wearing them without socks. Seem to be well constructed. Definitely worth the bargain-basement price!

|Elmer Nelson, 64
|Written by TRF Times
Thief River Falls - Elmer Nelson, 64, died on Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2012 peacefully at his residence surrounded by his loving family in rural Thief River Falls.
Funeral services were held Sunday, Sept. 16, at Johnson Funeral Service in Thief River Falls, with Pastor Clark Hjelle officiating. Casket bearers included Mike Nelson, Matt Nelson, David Nelson, Rick Nelson, Wayne Anderson, Jared Moe, Jason Hepsak and T.J. Rux. Honorary casket bearers included all of Elmer's grandchildren and friends. Interment was held at Silverton Cemetery, rural Thief River Falls.
Elmer Carl Nelson was born on Aug. 13, 1948 to Ernest Clarence and Ruth Marie (Rose) Nelson in Red Lake Falls. He was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran Faith. He attended school in Red Lake Falls, graduating from Lafayette High School in 1966.
Elmer moved to Minneapolis and lived for a few years. He worked as a mechanic. He returned to Northwest Minnesota and was united in marriage to Sandra Kay Olson on Feb. 1, 1974 in St. Hilaire. They made their home in Thief River Falls. Elmer worked at the Standard Station in his early years. During Elmer's lifetime, he worked at several places and did many things including, Peterson Lumber, Gulf Station, drove taxi, farming, carpentry, and worked in laundry and maintenance at the hospital in Thief River Falls.
Elmer enjoyed fishing, family get-togethers at Maple Lake. He enjoyed holidays, birthday celebrations, and enjoyed his grandchildren the most. He loved company and visitors all of the time and he would follow you out the door visiting. He was a great joke teller especially Ole and Lena jokes.

I've had RTI A7s for about a year now, run by a Yamaha RX A810. I also recently added a CSI A6 and FXI A6 rears. The system was never very loud at all so I finally caved in and bought an Emotiva XPA 5. I hooked it all up, starting playing some music I'm familiar with, and noticed no difference in sound, either in terms of volume or sound quality. I turned it up a bit, and suddenly lost all power. Now the woofers put out no sound at all. The tweeters are seemingly fine(hard to know for sure since I'm used to hearing them with woofers) and the center and rears are fine.
Please tell me I'm an idiot and there's an easy fix for this. Like a fuse to change or something? I've never taken apart speakers before but I've taken apart other things so I can fix things if necessary.
It just seems so odd to me that all the woofers would go at exactly the same moment, in exactly the same way. Please help, I can't be without music like this!

Connecticut's top leaders were in Washington D.C. on Monday for President Obama's second inauguration and commented on the Newtown reference in the president's speech.
"I was struck particularly with the reference to Newtown as a symbol of how America needs to do better," Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal told the blog Capitol Watch.
The reference came toward the end of his speech as Obama laid out his broad vision for America in the next four years.
"Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for and cherished and always safe from harm," Obama said.
Gov. Dannel Malloy was in the nation's capitol for the inauguration and told Capitol Watch he was also struck by the impact the shootings in Newtown have had on the country and on policy makers.
"It is amazing how different Newtown is and how profoundly Newtown has impacted the country," Malloy said.

|Rene LaChappelle, 73
|Written by TRF Times
Thief River Falls - Rene LaChappelle, 73, died Monday, Nov. 5, 2012 at his residence in Thief River Falls.
Funeral services were held on Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2012 at the Evangelical Free Church in Thief River Falls, with Pastor Bruce Fisher and Father Rick Lambert co-officiating. Casket bearers included all of Rene's nieces and nephews. Honorary casket bearers included Rene's friends from Johnson Boarding Home and the ODC. Interment will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 14 (today), at St. Mary's Cemetery in Warroad.
Visitation will be one hour prior to the funeral service.
Rene Pierre LaChappelle was born on March 12, 1939 to Joseph T. and Elize (Guibault) LaChappelle in Warroad. At the age of 18 months, he suffered a fall and received a head injury. He stayed at home as he grew up and worked on the family farm, driving his favorite John Deere tractors.
He lived most of his life with his Mom and brother, Joey and family on the farm near Warroad, until their deaths. Rene worked at Polaris in Roseau through the ODC. Then he lived with his sister, JoAnn in Roseau for a couple of years. In July of 2000, he moved to Thief River Falls and became a member of the Johnson Boarding Home Family. He loved to be with and participate in the activities with the Johnson Boarding Home. While living at Johnson's Boarding Home he worked at the ODC in Thief River Falls.
Rene was known to many as the sheriff as he wore a badge so proudly. He would say, "I am the sheriff so you better behave." In his pastime, Rene enjoyed putting puzzles together and watching TV Westerns, including his favorite "Bonanza." Because he grew up near the railroad tracks, Rene was fond of trains and the Great Northern Railroad. He was an avid fan of the Minnesota Vikings and John Deere tractors.
He is survived by survived by siblings: MaryLou Harms of Rockford, Ill., Kathryn Klein of Sidney, Neb., JoAnn (Raymond) Vistad of Roseau, David LaChappelle of Twin Valley; two sisters-in-law: Catherine LaChappelle of Warroad, Fern Nuhring of Roseau; and many nieces and nephews.
Rene was preceded in death by his parents, brothers: Art (Edna) LaChappelle, John (Cora) LaChappelle, Eugene Ellen, Jim (Helen) LaChappelle, Ralph LaChappelle, Joe LaChappelle, Steve LaChappelle, sister Leone LaChappelle, and brother in laws: Charles Harms and Dick Klein.

One Watercraft to Suit All Your PersonalitiesTested by Capt. Tom ShacklefordI suppose you could enhance the Sea-Doo 3D by wearing the goofy glasses you get at the theater. The three dimensions that Sea-Doo has to offer on its all new 3D Personal Watercraft also offers three distinctly different experiences on the same watercraft. Kart, Moto, and Vert.Seating PositionsFor a real sensation of speed, try the 3D with a bucket seat in place, sit down at deck level and go sport- karting on the water… Kart.Like the idea of a dirt bike on the water? In a matter of seconds, lift the handlebars and unhinge the Motocross- style seat and its pedestal support hidden within… Moto.Want to shred it? Stand up "old school" style. With no seating configuration in place, the deck is unobstructed and wide open…Vert.Sea-Doo sticks to the basics with this convertible PWC powering it with a 2 stroke, 2 cylinder fuel injected Rotax motor. Displacement is 782 cc's producing an adequate 110 horsepower. Fuel supply to the cylinders is distributed through a single 56 mm Rotax carburetor. Lubrication is metered through the Variable Ratio Oil Injection system. Styling is equally simple: The smooth lines of the fiberglass reinforced hull compliment the unobtrusive cowling and integrated handlebars. In this simplicity is the ease to switch over from one dimension to another.Specs At 107 inches in length and a beam of 44 inches, the 3D is a compact package. Morphed into its Kart persona, the 3D could limbo - it is a mere 37 3/4" tall. The only difference in weight between all three configurations is the 14 pounds that comes with the addition of the bucket seat for Karting. As such, the 3D is 603 pounds and in either Moto or Vert the scales tipped at 589. In any style, the 3D is for the solo rider. Total fuel capacity is 8.5 gallons with 1.3 of them in reserve. The 2 cycle oil reservoir has a capacity of one gallon.PerformanceOn a steamy South Florida afternoon with light winds and minimal chop the 3D achieved a top speed of 52 MPH carrying 9/10 of a tank of fuel. Of course, to maintain that, the 3D would need 9.5 gallons per hour (GPH) as a burn rate. Cruising along at half throttle the burn rate is diminished by half as well: nearly 38.5 MPH at 5.5 GPH. While not exactly blistering, the Sea-Doo 3D turned in respectable numbers for our time to plane and 0-30 MPH tests. With an average of 1.75 seconds to plane, an additional 1.55 ticks of the stopwatch put this PWC at 30 MPH.As with the other Sea-Doo watercraft, the ignition system is controlled through the Digitally Encoded Security System (D.E.S.S.). This is an ingenious idea that allows one owner to keep the "keys" to up to 8 Sea-Doo vessels with common encoding.Young adults will be thankful for a transformable 3D and its cost effectiveness (under $7000.00), and experienced riders will appreciate its diversity as well. Oh, and you can leave the funny glasses at the movie theater!

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

I hope I don't get into trouble posting this, just making a comparison, one that affects my personal preference. I don't think many fans care or nitpick about this, certainly not the judges anyway.
One of my favorite Tessa midlift pic of this season is still this one from Danielle Earl. This part of the lift happens so fast but she was able to capture it, midair, back arch, limb extension and all.
