All of that means that you're buying your discounted hardware with your personal information and your willing agreement to be another statistic in their advertising numbers.
I suspect that's a fair trade for a lot of people, considering how little they actually value their privacy.
Fallout New Vegas has a man-portable 25mm automatic grenade launcher. It has an on-screen display scrolling what looks like code while the weapon is firing.
The code? It's a piece of BASH scripting. With a crippling syntax error ("if" without closing "fi").
If this was the height of alternate-history pre-war embedded software technology, I can understand why derelict car engines can explode in a nuclear explosion.
TBH, we grub all kinds of dirt out of the ground and make the highest of high tech with it, so your statement is misleading. It's not strictly a dark ages thing. More like a "civilization on Earth" thing.
If you have a meaningful argument, that wasn't it.
True. Oldtimers like me don't really look back fondly on the birthday of the Web.
We did just fine with FTP and Gopher and NNTP. The 'net had a moderately high intellectual entry barrier. It was hard, and it was complicated. It was its own intelligence test. We didn't have to suffer fools gladly; fools couldn't even work the doorknob, let alone enter and sully us with their foolishness.
If I'm going to bravely cheer the 25th birthday of the World Wide Web, I may as well applaud the first day of the September that Never Ended. Damn dirty AOL'ers.
Berners-Lee is an Englishman, a Londoner for God's sake. You'd think he'd know the history of his own city and country.
You're right. The Magna Carta was practically signed at swordpoint. And, more importantly, it wasn't a charter of rights for all humanity: it was principally a charter of the rights and powers of the nobility: the barons on the non-pointy end of the swords. In this sense, perhaps the megacorp oligarchs could get a Magna Carta, but it wouldn't make a damn sniff of difference to us peasants.
At the very end of the 5 1/4" floppy era, the "High-Density" floppy used the same data rate, tracking, and recording density as the 8" 1.2M floppies. They were, in fact, 1.2M 5 1/4" floppies. Which is why their formatted capacity was different from 3.5" "high-density" equivalent, 1.44M.
Other than electrical needs (as 8" floppies often had their spindle motors directly powered by 120VAC line current), the high-density 5 1/4"s were used as a drop-in replacement for 8" floppies in the hobbyist retrocomputing community. (Not collectors, though; they'd want to keep the gear as cherry as possible.)
I'm wounded. I'm a troll, but not that kind; I'm the kind that lurks in caves or under bridges, but harmless because sunlight is an existential threat to me.
I wasn't really kidding, either. Those were my exact thoughts 30 years ago as I sat at my Z-100 computer logged into my local DEC machine (across the flight line) through a 300 baud acoustic modem, manually updating the system's HOSTS file from the latest "master copy" I FTP'd down from ISI.Good time... good times.
So you invite everyone in the world to submit their domain name and IP address on postcards?
Yes. HOSTS files. Exchange HOSTS files. Manually merge and edit them.
TBH, I thought DNS was going to be a fad.
(Yes, I'm capitalizing HOSTS because that's what it was called on the pre-historic TOPS-20 system I was using. I also thought that commie-pinko "unix" thing was also going to be a fad.)
Wait, isn't that when it turned into a poorly-concealed marketing vehicle for its corporate owners?
I'm guessing it's differences in copyright regimes. At the very least, negotiating streaming rights with major rights-holders in one country must be exhausing and traumatizing. Having done that for one major country (your own home country and primary market), I could understand being hesitant about doing the whole damn thing over and over again in one tiny* country after another, in the face of borderline-chauvinistic media-corporation protectionism (not to mention "cultural protectionism"... I'm looking at you, France).
*Yeah, tiny. USA is a big market. The individual nations of Europe are proportionately little, with correspondingly less return on investment, even leaving aside internal incumbent competition.
I'd be more inclined to believe GPP if I saw all this material in a Powerpoint presentation. It just loses some of its credibility and impact without one of Microsoft's standard templates framing it.
But that's OK, it's an evil kitten and its death provides more material for future powerpoint slides.
What... when you add a new slide to your powerpoint presentation, where do you think the bits and pixels come from? Evil kitten ectoplasm, that's where.
This just in: Satoshi Nakamoto, the famous Japanese man, was recently discovered to have changed his name from Momomoto, and can thus swallow his own nose.
Ridiculous, incredible, too far gone to ever be believed.
In other news, Leah McGrath Goodman is actually a cabbage.
OK, this I could believe.

T.D is Tiaden Dawn. The first novel I ever wrote, probably the first project I ever finished. It's well loved by friends and has a couple of devoted friends. So, I'm re-writing it. I've never tried re-writing much of well.. anything before so that in itself is quite scary. Then we have the fact that this means a lot to me, so there's the emotional attachment. Oh and we have the pressure of not upsetting those who love the original..
I've also not really been writing properly for months and months. Anyway, the good stuff! I'm loving the new feel to T.D, previously I felt it was a bit.. light, maybe fluffy and even falling into the YA genre. I have written the first chapter (and am after beta readers!) which feels completely different to the opening of the original. I'm pleased with it.
I'm keeping the main characters and how they interact with each other, along with the main over-arcing plot concept. Some of the scenes and ideas which I really liked will stay, but probably a good 60% will be hacked up and thrown away. Given the attachment to this novel that's a pretty huge leap, but I'm really excited! I haven't been this into an idea in a long time. So, fingers crossed this will get me writing and produce a kick ass novel which I'm really proud of.
Oh and anyone who wants to be a beta reader, drop me a comment – nothing heavy, not worried about grammar etc. Just want to know if it works, what's the character like etc. As a little teaser, the opening paragraph:
Tiaden Dawn – Re-write.
By Shen Hart.
I hate waiting. Of course I knew exactly why they kept me waiting – it was a power play. They were demonstrating that this was running to their time, they were the dominant party here. That alone got my hackles up, it was an arrogant move to try and make but I wanted the money so that I could move on. I didn't like hanging around anywhere for too long, keep moving, don't get caught, that was how I lived. I wasn't running away, well I didn't think so at that point in time. I just, didn't want to be trapped.

Product Type: Nurofen baby products

Nurofen for Children - Strawberry
Nurofen For Children Strawberry
Member Name: Candyperfumegirl
Nurofen For Children Strawberry
Date: 17/02/13
Advantages: Effective pain relief for children
Disadvantages: None
Having two children in our household I find a quality pain relief an important part of our first aid box. Whilst I try not to give my children pain killers often I do find that at times it is unavoidable. Usually I choose Calpol but I saw this Nurofen Ibuprofen on offer and decided to give it a try.
Nurofen Children's Ibuprofen is packaged in a large durable grey and orange box. The brand logo is clearly displayed in the right hand corner along with the fact that this is a Ibuprofen for children between the ages three months and nine years. There is a picture of a baby and a young child infant and a diagram picture of the enclosed dosing syringe. This particular box contains a 100ml bottle of oral suspension which is strawberry flavour. Nurofen is sugar and colour free.
The back of the box gives plenty of information and warnings. A dosage list is given which lets you know how much to give your child depending upon their age ( and / or weight).
Instructions are included in the box and should be read thoroughly before giving the product to your child. The enclosed is the 5ml dosing syringe which is easily inserted into the top of the opened bottle and allows the correct dosage to be measured easily with no mess. I have actually found the syringe is a much more effective and convenient way of administering medicine compared to the usual dosing spoon provided with other medicines. The brown bottle itself is plastic with a white child proof screw on lid. The label on the front gives similar information to the outer box. The fact that this is a plastic bottle rather than glass is quite positive in my opinion, it means the product can be popped into a bag without the worry of breakage, it is also lighter.
Nurofen can be used for effective pain relief from:
*Reducing temperature (including fever caused by immunisation)
* Teething
* Toothache
* Sore throats
* Headaches
* Minor aches
* Sprains
* Cold / flu symptoms
The medicine itself is white in colour and has a sweet synthetic strawberry fragrance. I cant say that I have ever tasted it myself, but my children seem to actually like the taste. As with most medicines it is quite sticky so I would suggest having some wipes handy whilst using this product.
When my daughters both caught a rather bad cold I gave them this Nurofen Ibuprofen to help relieve their sore throats and lower their temperature's. I was very pleased with the results, it seemed to work well and helped my children feel a much better. My eldest daughter has also been suffering from tooth ache which seems to be particularly troublesome at night, a dose of Nurofen seems to do the trick and ensure a decent nights sleep for all.
I would certainly but Nurofen Ibuprofen for children again and therefore have no problem in recommending it.
Nurofen for children is also available in orange flavour.
Boots (200ml) £6.59
Superdrug (100ml) £3.15
Tesco (100ml) £3.00
* Nurofen for children is a medicine, it is important to read the instructions thoroughly before giving to your child. If in doubt, consult a doctor or pharmacist.

Main reference |
The University of the Andes (Spanish: Universidad de los Andes), also known as Uniandes, is a coeducational, nonsectarian private university located in downtown Bogotá, Colombia. Founded in 1948, The University currently has 9 Schools, all of which offer undergraduate and postgraduate programs: Management, Architecture and Design, Arts and Humanities, Science, Social Sciences, Law, Economics, Engineering and Medicine.[3].
The university was founded by a group of Colombian intellectuals led by Mario Laserna Pinzón and was at the time the first university in the country to be non-sectarian, that is, independent of political parties or influence from the state or the church.[4]. Today, the University sought to model itself after major research universities through strategies as greater focus on graduate education and research. [5] As a result of this, doctorate programs have been opened in recent years and new research facilities have been built on campus[3]. The University has not yet achieved wide international visibility. However, it was included recently among the top 500 universities worldwide (400-500 tier) in a classification done by Times Higher Education–QS of London. [6]
Contents |
Los Andes University offers 28 undergraduate programs, 30 specialized degree programs, 20 master's programs, and 5 doctoral programs.
The mascot of Uniandes is a goat called Seneca. Its story dates back to the late 1940s when a goat roamed the campus freely. Students adopted it, and it became a symbol for the university. The goat died in 1966 when it fell off a cliff. Today it is not posible to hold a goat within the campus, but Seneca is still fondly remembered. The wireless spots are named after the goat, and every year a goat is brought to the university to celebrate "The Students' Day".

Inmate who escaped Ohio prison is captured |
Written by KANTELE FRANKO, Associated Press |
Friday, 05 July 2013 06:02 |
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An inmate who escaped from a north-central Ohio prison where he was incarcerated for kidnapping, rape and other crimes was captured Thursday night by people in a general store who tied him up and held him until authorities arrived. James David Myers was recognized when he walked into the Olivesburg General Store in Ashland on Thursday evening, Ohio State Police Lt. Anne Ralston said. People in the store subdued, tied up and held Myers until members of the highway patrol arrived and took him into custody at about 6:40 p.m., Ralston said. The store is located just over 8 miles northeast from the prison on rural State Route 545. Authorities didn't immediately released additional details about the capture. Myers was returned to the Mansfield Correctional Institution, JoEllen Smith, spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, said in a statement. Myers, formerly of Mogadore, was found to be missing from the Mansfield facility during a head count on Wednesday night, his 47th birthday, according to prison records. Authorities declined to discuss exactly how or when Myers slipped away from the prison where he worked in the maintenance area while incarcerated. The facility about 60 miles north of Columbus houses about 2,500 inmates and operated Thursday under stepped-up security, with escorts required each time an inmate was moved, Smith said. Authorities said a Tallmadge woman listed as Myers' victim was alerted and put under law enforcement protection while investigators searched for the missing inmate. "We certainly don't want to see something like this happen at our institution or at any other institution, and we'll do everything we can do to prevent that from happening again," said warden Terry Tibbals. Tibbals wouldn't comment on the types of equipment or tools Myers might have been able to access through his job in the maintenance area. He also wouldn't discuss whether Myers previously tried to escape. The facility hadn't had an escape since December 2011, when an inmate who was outside of the prison walked away, Smith said. Authorities refused to discuss whether they were investigating anyone else in connection with Myers' disappearance. Myers was imprisoned in 2010 on kidnapping, rape, aggravated burglary and other charges out of northeast Ohio's Summit County. Prosecutors alleged he raped a woman at gunpoint and forced her to consume cocaine, and an appeals court upheld his conviction, according to court records. Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. |

During an emergency C-section, my doctor discovered a mass on my Fallopian tube that turned out to be cancer. The bad kind. And it had spread. So, while I soak in the bliss of being a new wife and mom at 45, I'm also dealing with things like surgeries, chemotherapy, cancer treatment and all that those entail. I try to do it with gratitude and humor, and always with honesty.

Not long ago, an adorable video of a little boy telling his mother repeatedly that he had not gotten into a certain container of red candy sprinkles, all while wearing the telltale sprinkles all over his face, went viral. The video is funny as can be, and as a parent, it would be difficult not to laugh. However, it did strike me at the time that the toddler was awfully young to have already started lying.
Or so I thought.
A year ago I had never even heard of National Cancer Survivor's Day, a celebration of life held around the world. This year, however, it's an incredibly important day for me.
What a difference a year makes.
This may sound strange, but some of my fondest childhood memories are of "sick" days spent home with my mom. Obviously, not the days when I was truly "sick sick" and feeling terrible. But the days when I was just a little bit sick, too sick to go to school or out to play ... maybe just with a slight fever. Those days I got extra special treatment from my mom.
Our daughter is getting to the age where she is learning the words for body parts. She can say and identify "eye," "nose," "mouth," "ear," "hand," "foot," and "head." We figure it's only a matter of time before she starts wondering about what's "down there."
This raised the question, what do we call her little girl parts? Do we use the proper terms for private parts, or do we assign them cutesy names?
I don't know what it feels like to have a child and not have the dark cloud of cancer hanging over my head. I was diagnosed with Stage 3C widespread gynecologic cancer when my daughter was just five days old. So, despite my best efforts to live each day in the moment, there's almost always this niggling little voice in the back of my head reminding me, "you might not be here when that happens."

International Wine Center Complaint - Fake degree! - WSET
Review by
Comments (6)
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The International Wine Center in New York City runs the WSET (Wine and Spirits Education Trust) programs. They claim this is a program that will train you to be a wine professional.
The claim is totally bogus. They are not certified to run a school for sommeliers or wine professionals. Their claims violate New York state laws*. This means their certificates and diplomas are illegitimate.
You cannot legally use a WSET certificate to gain employment, not only in New York, but anywhere in the USA.
This company has been defrauding students for at least ten years!
*The IWC/WSET have violated the following NY laws & regulations by claiming they offer professional training for the food & wine industries:
New York Laws: Education : (5001 - 5010) Private Trade And Correspondence Schools
"Schools required to be licensed or registered. No private school or computer training facility which charges tuition or fees for instruction and which is not exempted hereunder shall be operated by any person or persons, firm, corporation, or private organization for the purpose of teaching or giving instruction in any subject or subjects, unless it is licensed or registered by the department. "

...and you got this information from the corner wino pushing his shopping cart containing a bottle of Boone's Farms (or whatever that high-class wine is called)?

Whoever claimed that that WSET degree will lead to a job in the wine and spirits industry didn't have 20/20 vision when he jumped off the Night Train (almost getting run over by someone driving a Thunderbird) to operate this "International Wine Center".

After my party last night, I should be set up for a Master's Degree in Wine Tasting! Woo hoo! In all seriousness, most proprietary "schools" claim a lot of things, the biggest being that the Associate's you get from them will easily transfer to a state college. Uh, no, not unless they are nationally accredited, and few are.
Posted by When Ever on 2008-12-03:
I took a course at the school. Before I signed up I carefully checked them out. I didn't see any claim that completing their courses will get you a job. It's up to the individual to find a job. Even getting a diploma from Harvard isn't a guarantee of a job. What are you talking about? The course I took was thorough and informative.

Moved From Other Review: FROM IAN HARRIS (CEO, WINE & SPIRIT EDUCATION TRUST)
POSTED ON THE www.no-wset. wine-course.com WEBSITE 9.10.09
I am very eager to make contact with the owner of this website, as I wish to clarify some of the assumptions made on the site, to make the owner aware of facts that have occurred subsequent to the creation of the website, and to answer any grievances the owner of this site might have with the organisation of which I am Chief Executive – the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET).
There are also a number of errors of fact in the content on the site, which I wish to see corrected. I appreciate that the owner of the site is entitled to his/her opinion, but I am concerned that there are factual inaccuracies which could mislead potential WSET customers, thereby damaging the reputation of WSET.
We have sent a number of communications to the host of this website, to which no reply has been received, and as all our attempts to contact the owner of this site have proven fruitless I am now taking the step of posting this communication on the site, in the hope that this will reach the owner of the site, so all the erroneous facts and statements on this site can be corrected.
I have listed the issues I wish to resolve in a communication to the host of this site, but I would ask the owner of this site to get in direct contact with me, by eMail, by letter, or by phone, so I can respond to the issues raised in this website. This anonymous person represents that they speak for a group of aggrieved former WSET students in the U. S., but we are not aware of the specifics of this grievance or grievances because the individuals have not come forward to us with the details. WSET has a formal process in place to address concerns and grievances from its students. As would be the case for any dissatisfied student or customer, we are eager to address the issues in this case and correct the situation if need be, when the person presents his or her case to us.
I remain available to speak to the owner of the site – I will be in USA later this year, and would be very happy to meet in order to address their issues face-to-face.

i thought that the review has a valid point
i believe the issue isn't that you can't find a job using that class but that the "certificate" they issue isn't being issued in accordance with ny state law
basically it sounds like the school is making people think the certificate can be used for a job, when in fact it can't legally be accepted

TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays are shutting down left-fielder Fred Lewis for the season so he can undergo bunion surgery on his left foot.
Lewis struggled with the bunion earlier this season and also underwent similar surgery on his right foot in September 2008.
He will have the surgery in Birmingham, Ala., though it's not clear when the operation will take place.
He has been mostly on the bench in recent weeks as Travis Snider has received the bulk of the playing time.
Lewis was acquired earlier this season from San Francisco for $75,000, and batted .262 with 31 doubles, eight homers, 70 runs scored and 36 RBIs in 110 games. He also stole 17 bases.
Bunions are bumps on the inside of the foot made up of bone and soft tissue caused when the big toe twists leading the bone to protrude.

A nice moisturizer, with a pleasant, subtle scent. I don't like it as much as a couple of other Kiss My Face lotions (Chinese Botanicals and Lavender) but I've tried this and like it. For those who don't want floral or sweet-smelling lotions, this would be a nice choice. Good for men or women. Very natural-smelling.
More reviews by chiodancrgrl23
This moisturizer feels so nice while applying. It smooths over the skin easily and you don't really have to rub it in. It sinks into the skin fast and leaves a light matte finish. I hope it is moisturizing enough for my dry winter skin. Will try to update soon.
My favorite product of Kiss My Face is the Alpha & Aloe fragrance/oil free moisturizer. They have discontinued it however, so I was in need for a replacement. I generally prefer to have a fragrance free moisturizer, so I purchased this and crossed my fingers. My face is pretty sensative, so when I find something that works, and they pull the product I get pretty upset. This arrived and the first thing that I noticed was that the consistancy was very different from the A&A. It is much thinner and has a more oily feel to it. I tryed it on my hands for a few nights to get used to the feel of it. It absorbs quickly and my hands were very very soft after using it. I then tried it on my face, and so far so good. No break outs, and my skin feels soft. The smell on the other hand...for a "fragrance free" product is pretty strong. My husband teases me about it everytime I put it on. Not very pleasant, I can't even describe what it's close to. It's a very "earthy" scent is all I can come up with. I guess it smells like old olive oil that has gone bad. lol. I guess I can handle that if it makes my skin look great. One lippie off for smell. The pump bottle is nice to have, because I don't like having to put my hands in a container.
To me this smell reminds me of cinnamon raisin toast. I have no idea why, it just does. It's a light spicy kind of scent, it fades too in case you don't particularly enjoy it. I don't know what aloe or olive are supposed to smell like on their own, but yeah.. this lotion is a scent I enjoy, plus it absorbed quickly into my skin (I have oily skin). I think a truer test of it's moisturizing qualities would be for me to use it in winter, but for now, I enjoy it as a basic body moisturizer after I get out of the shower. Haven't tried it on my face, but I would really only ever use my Clinique Dramatically Different gel there.
More reviews by verarespirawho
This is an OK body moisturizer with a tacky afterfeel. The moisturizing effect is decent, but absorption takes a while and leaves a sticky residue. However, this product was effective, along with Shi Kai shower gel (see my review), at keeping my aggressive KP at bay. Although I usually avoid fragranced body products, this one was ok for me (subtle, fresh, and dissipated quickly). The price is fairly reasonable for the amount of product, but the pump is a poor one one which frequently jams and doesn't release enough product. For an all-natural body moisturizer, I Alba's is superior to this one IME.
I love this stuff! It's moisturizing, smells great, absorbs easily, and is very light. This is a great staple...plus you can get it cheaper at Trader Joes!
i use this (the sensitive skin version) as a facial moisturizer in winter and i love it. my skin is dry, sensitive, mild rosacea and my husband has skin cancer - we both have no stinging or reaction from this. the 4 oz. tube is 3.99 at our local health food store - a bargain.

I can't/won't put too many things on my face, as I never know what the effect might be on my skin. I bought this on a hunch, though, and I'm glad I did. It's a good moisturizer for the price, and I like that it's more natural, too. I like the way it feels on, and I've been using it for two weeks without a single pimple, which really makes me want to invest in more KMF products. I find that some people object to the smell, but I kinda like it, and this smells like some high-end moisturizer I tried some years ago. I can't remember which one. I even got my chic youngest sister hooked into this over the Holidays. :-) It's a little over $3.00 for a 4-OZ tube. What do you have to lose? I highly recommend.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I don't like the texture or smell of this. I don't know if it smells like Olive or Aloe but it becomes sort of heavy and strong after being on for a while. The texture is strange...it comes out of the pump very thick and creamy but this product doesn't moisturize too well. Rather, it seems to coat my skin with a waxy oily layer. Also, it looks like it's got pearlized something in the lotion. What is that? I'll use this up or put it in the bathroom for guests to use but I'm not buying it again.
This is a lotion with great ingredients that soften skin and are good for the face and body. I used up a 4 oz tube and repurchased a 16 oz pump bottle. However, I eventually found that it does not continue to moisturize my very dry skin for the entire day and the scent, while pleasant, got tiresome after awhile, so I have switched to Nature's Gate fragrance-free lotion which is thicker and also a few dollars cheaper. But if your skin is only mildly dry or you want to reduce redness, I recommend giving this a try.

Classics with an interesting plot? (self.booksuggestions)
submitted 1 year ago* by [deleted]
Hello! I've been looking to become a bit more well-read, and am looking for suggestions of classics that a 16 year old could grasp. I understand that the point of classic literature isn't always to entertain, but I've found that there are several books I've read that have deep concepts as well as interesting plots (Fahrenheit 451, Great Gatsby, Dorian Gray, Watchmen), and that these are the types of books I enjoy the most. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on other classic books that have deep meaning as well as a really absorbing plot? Thanks in advance.
Edit: Wow, thanks for all the suggestions you guys! I've definitely added many books to my 'To read' list.
[–]Palatyibeast 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
Readable, fun classics in a radnom mix of authors and titles:
Wilkie Collins
Raymond Chandler
Victor Hugo
Jane Austen (if you read her as a satirist instead of a romance-writer)
A Clockwork Orange
Slaughterhouse 5
To Kill a Mockingbird
Of Mice and Men
On The Beach - Neville Shute
The Scarlet Pimpernel
Edgar Allan Poe
Jerome K Jerome's 'Three Men in a Boat'
PJ Wodehouse
[–][deleted] 1 year ago
[–]Palatyibeast 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Austen is hilarious if you recognise the pure, unadulterated snark of her prose. 'Northanger Abbey' is actually a parody of gothic horror/romance novels. And Pride and Prejudice is just an excuse to make fun of mating-rituals of the landed classes. I mean the first line, the famous line about a man of fortune of course being in need of a wife is dripping with sarcasm so nasty I wonder how she got away with it.
[–]bryanpv 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago
It's pretty long but I found that The Count of Monte Cristo to be one of the most entertaining books that I have ever read.
Another good one which I didn't find as having "deep concepts" but was thoroughly entertaining is Treasure Island.
[–]westyfield 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
These are exactly the two I was going to suggest.
[–]JoNightshade 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago*
If you like 451, try everything else Bradbury. To be honest I think 451 is probably his weakest work. Try Something Wicked This Way Comes or The Martian Chronicles.
Someone else mentioned the Count of Monte Cristo, that's a great one.
Not so deep, but definitely a super fun classic, The Three Musketeers. Love those guys.
EDIT: Also, it's a play, but give Cyrano de Bergerac a try. Both deep and funny.
[–]slightlyKiwi 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad.
[–]longooglite 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Chandler - basically defined the hard-boiled-detective genre
Twain - bitingly funny satire, also very nostalgic
Dickens - see Twain
Parker - Funny, brilliant writing by one of the only female contemporaries of Hemingway
[–]I-need-coffee 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
[–]Bananja 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
Anything by Kurt Vonnegut. My first was "Slaughterhouse-five"

Sorry, but I absolutely hate this book. Sooo boring!
[–]thesoo92 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
Agreed, this book's plot is so very far from absorbing.
[–]poopyjoe43 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Animal farm! Very short book and very entertaining.
[–]Saivo 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Herman Melville (e.g. Moby Dick)
Joseph Heller (e.g. Catch 22)
William Makepeace Thackeray (Vanity Fair is absolutely brilliant satire)
Charles Dickens (e.g. A Tale of Two Cities, though IMHO his works are a bit of a minefield)
John Steinbeck (e.g. Grapes of Wrath)
[–]theheartofgold 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
The Sun Also Rises - Hemingway
The Master and Margarita - Bulgakov (might be a little tough at 16, but who knows)
Henderson the Rain King - Bellow
any of the Sherlock Holmes stories and novels by Conan Doyle
[–]jasonfromtheblok 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Hitchhiker's Guide... A modern classic
[–]okpok -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
We the Living, by Ayn Rand. Or you could read The Fountainhead, which I think is my favorite. Anthem by Rand is also free and in the public domain.
Rand's plots are always interesting, and are also quite philosophical. They're enjoyable, and are very thought provoking.

By Kari Howard
These songs are a personal soundtrack for this week's wonderful Column Ones, but one below is featured on an actual soundtrack, for the Danny Boyle movie "The Beach."
The band is called Underworld, and Boyle has used them for several of his films, not to mention the completely brilliant soundtrack for the London Olympics he produced last summer. (I can die happy: I've heard the Sex Pistols' "God Save the Queen" at the Olympics.)
But Boyle's movies have always had some of the best soundtracks. Perhaps matched only by Quentin Tarantino. And I have a soft spot for Wes Anderson's musical choices. (My favorite music moment ever in a film might be in "Fantastic Mr. Fox," where the henchman character voiced by Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker is singing a silly song and his bad-guy boss, voiced by Michael Gambon, says: "That's just weak songwriting! You wrote a bad song, Petey!")
Anyway, in these roundups of the week gone by, I'd like to offer the first paragraphs of each Column One--maybe they'll buy your eye and you can settle in for a good weekend read. And you'll also get the songs that inspired me while editing the stories, or reading them later. A story-song combo!
Online music lessons in the key of see
Talc Tolchin ducks into the music studio he built behind his Marin County cottage, where the sun filters through a towering redwood tree and his daughter has dotted the flower beds with fairy houses. It's time for his next piano lesson.
An hour's drive northwest of San Francisco, this woodsy town tucked among rolling golden hills claims only 500 or so dispersed residents. But not all of Tolchin's students are close by. When it's time to greet his second student on a recent Friday, he reaches for the laptop perched on his upright piano and summons her — via Skype.
Madeline Sheron pops up, peering at Tolchin from under her dark bangs. They banter — about an app that offers piano, bass and drum accompaniment, adjusted for groove and tempo. Then they dive into "All of Me," the song Sheron had chosen in hopes of mastering jazz improvisation.
Her computer camera is aimed over her shoulder and Tolchin watches her left hand as it bops from sevenths to thirds. Tolchin has two cameras — one mounted on the ceiling so students can watch his hands, the other trained on his face.
"Go, girl!" he exclaims, tapping his foot as she masters the first turnaround.
Sheron was 200 miles away, in the Sierra Nevada ski town of Truckee. But she could just as well have been across the globe.
#storysongs combo: "My Foolish Heart," by Bill Evans, my favorite pianist. In this video, you can see him hunched over the keys, inhabiting the song.
A billiards pro who sinks them all
The billiards joint is hazy with cigarette smoke as fans on metal bleachers lean in toward the action. Max Eberle stands over his shot, oblivious to the buzzing crowd and wandering waitresses, his mind's eye focused on the miniature cosmos before him.
The veteran pro player views the pool table as his own universe, its colorful planetary orbs propelled across a green-felt solar system. His break is the Big Bang, the sheer force of the stroke bending the maple cue stick into a cartoonish curve.
He paces the 7-foot-long table, mentally assessing the physics of spin and the geometry of angles crucial to running a rack. There's a grace to his movements as he sets up a series of bank and spin shots, the cue stick's follow-through pure and straight, commanding the cue ball to stop dead, careen sideways or strike with premeditated violence.
Just hours before, Eberle eclipsed a fellow pro known as King Kong, harking back to an old moniker, "No Mercy Max," running 54 balls straight while his opponent never touched his cue.
His present foe, a player in a baseball cap and graying beard, is faring no better.
Another break, another run in this first-to-win-six-games nine-ball match. Like a spectator, the other guy can do nothing but sit and watch.
Then Eberle hits a difficult spin-rail shot. The crowd hushes as someone whispers: "Whoa."
#storysongs combo: "Eight Ball," by trance music group Underworld. "Today I saw a man/with a flaming eight ball tattooed on his arm."
WWII poster calls for calm; now it stokes frenzy, feud
Has a piece of advice ever seemed so apt, or so frightfully ironic?
Thirteen years ago, Stuart Manley stumbled upon a slightly faded red poster tucked at the bottom of a box of books he had bought at auction. Unfolding it, he found himself staring at a relic of World War II, a long-forgotten piece of government propaganda bearing the logo of the British crown and this pithy message:
Keep calm and carry on.

Gregg Kowalsky Through the Cardial Window
- Words: Fred Miketa
- Label: Kranky
Oakland's Gregg Kowalsky has quite a penchant for creating engaging noise and ambient compositions. Through the Cardial Window barrels through a buzz of minimal feedback, ghostly cymbal swells, and decadent build-ups that capture life's most tumultuous times. Often ubiquitously serene and ravenously heavy at the same time, the Mills College MFA graduate employs a dense amount of textural techniques, from filtering his work through an acoustic guitar pickup to reworking source material from the brutal ambiance of the band Isis. From beginning to end, Kowalsky's potent blend of feedback loops and psychedelic chiming leaves you feeling medicated and breathless.

M-Su 24hr
Neighborhoods: Reisterstown
Used this company for bathroom remodel and it was nothing but headaches and problems with this company. No one speaks English first off. They play bait and switch with their costs. Asked for the owner muany times and was always told he was out of town. The work was sloppy and on top of it all,had to hire another contractor to repain walls,replace molding they tor up and threw away. They threw away a brand new shower head that I had paid $89. for and I had to go and buy a new one!
I've read the other reviews on this company and I have to say a few things. Yes the employees that I dealt with were all Russians and some spoke limited english. So what people, learn to communicate! I had my 80 year old front porch demolished and replaced along with extensive metal work to the ceiling of the porch. It is absolutely gorgeous! Benjamin was on time for the estimate and it came in on point even though they realized some more expensive metal was required once they got into the job. They didn't try to get more money from me for this. The crew was very nice and were extremely concerned with my happiness. I will give this company more of my business!
I'd like to recommend Handyman on Call services to anyone considering home repairs or improvements. Benjamin shows up on time, and delivers as promised. Even though he is willing to come in to finish chores you've started, save yourself some time and money by calling him FIRST. He can review the job, and help you choose the proper materials, saving unneccessary trips to the hardware store. I also appreciate Benjamin's follow-up (a rarity in the industry), and the fact that he stays within his scope of expertise (i.e. he won't say "yes" unless he's comfortable with the task). With prices that are highly competitive,there's just no excuse for not giving him a try!
good job – Great job and they were very quick in the install! Technician was very professional! Outstanding job! I will definitely ask for more later!
I don't think I would go back to Handyman On Call LLC – I used this company to re-install a drapery rod in my home. I can't complain about the service, but the price was ridiculous. I want to say it cost a couple hundred bucks for like an hour of work. They charged me to make a trip to Home Depot (which is like 3 blocks from my house) to buy screws. In my opinion, a handyman should come prepared with essentials, like screws, anchors, nails, etc. They also upcharged me on the supplies. I don't think I'd go back. to Handyman On Call LLC.
Save your time & $ – Well, when I had Ben come out to my house for an estimate I told him that I had a limited time to have the work done before moving in. He said he would call me back with a detailed estimate right away but never did. I called, left messages, emailed him for several days but there was no response at all. I was upset that he wasted my valuable time. Wish he just had told me he hadn't had time for my project. Do not call! Save your time.
No call and no show for our bathroom remodel estimate. No response to our follow up call. Strange considering all the positive feedback.
Loved it! – I loved my experience with Handyman On Call! The price was ridiculously reasonable. The job was done fast and most importantly, It was done right!
Should check Citysearch reviews first! – One of the few times when I didn't check Citysearch Reviews before making a decision. I need to replace a shower head and after a quick Google search, I found Puget Sound Plumbing. My handyman had told me this would be about a $100-150 job so I was shocked when I received a $395 quote. However, given that I live in Fairfax VA and this is for my rental property in Baltimore, I didn't feel like I had a lot of options at that point. I later found out the entire job took less than 30 minutes and other plumbers have told me I was definitely "had" for that price. Lesson learned to always check with Citysearch Reviews first!
''' Flaky people in this company '''' – They do decent work, and they're only moderately expensive. *IF* you can get them to answer phone calls and show up.
Incredibly flaky people. Be prepared to lose a day or two sitting around waiting.
If I knew __anyone__ else who did decent handman work at a decent price I WOULD NEVER CALL THEM AGAIN.
Be prepared to call and call... and wait and wait.
And you might get lucky.

Olic heaps praise on Robben, Neuer
Bayern Munich attacker Ivica Olic has sung the praises of team mates Arjen Robben and Manuel Neuer, declaring them both among the best in the business.
Olic is close to returning to action for Bayern after a series of injuries and he says he cannot wait to benefit from Robben's assists as well as having the assurance Neuer gives at the back.
"When Arjen is fit, he would play in any team in the world," said the Croatian to the Bild newspaper.
"He is on the same level as (Lionel) Messi and (Cristiano) Ronaldo."
And Olic went even further in his praise of Neuer, who has just broken Oliver Kahn's club record of invincibility having broken through the 1000-minute barrier since last conceding.
"I have never seen as good a goalkeeper as Manuel Neuer in all of my life," he said.
"For me, he is the best in the world."
Olic will hope to play alongside them in Bayern's next Bundesliga match on October 15 against Hertha Berlin.
He is now in full training again after recovering from a torn thigh muscle.

Paterson man and Virginia Marine face gun charges in Fort Lee incident
FORT LEE — A Paterson man and a Marine from Virginia have been arrested on weapons charges after one of them brandished a handgun in front of Port Authority police officers who were helping borough police disperse a large crowd at a club on Lemoine Avenue, authorities said.
As the crowd flowed into the Fort Lee municipal parking lot around 2:45 a.m. Sunday, witnesses told the officers that someone had a gun, said Al Della Fave, a Port Authority spokesman. The witnesses pointed to a man later identified as Isaiah Wilson, 27, of Paterson, Della Fave said.
The officers drew their weapons as Wilson allegedly began walking toward five Port Authority officers, holding the gun in his right hand in a downward position, Della Fave said. The officers ordered Wilson to drop the weapon, but instead of complying, he turned his back on the officers and walked toward the Plaza Diner. The officers followed him and again ordered him to drop the weapon, Della Fave said.
Wilson ducked behind a parked car in the municipal lot and tossed the weapon under the car before running away. An officer recovered the handgun — a .40-caliber Glock. The officer removed a round from the chamber and also removed the magazine, Della Fave said.
After a brief foot pursuit, Wilson was arrested in the parking lot near the rear entrance to the Plaza Diner, Della Fave said.
The officers were then approached by Hisash Pompey, 28, of Quantico, Va., who identified himself as a military policeman to Port Authority Officer Raymond Rodriguez and said the weapon was his, Della Fave said.
Police said that Pompey had a firearm permit for the handgun in Virginia, but had no legal authority to carry it in New Jersey, a determination made after checking with the Marines in Virginia, Della Fave said.
Wilson was treated at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center for a head cut sustained during a fight inside the Tribecca Nightclub, Della Fave said.
Wilson and Pompey were each charged with unlawful possession of a weapon. Wilson was released from the Bergen County Jail in Hackensack after posting $15,000 bail. Pompey was being held at the jail Monday night with bail set at $10,000.

Halfway to the Beach!

We stopped in Fredericksburg at a Red Robin for dinner for a couple of burgers and eventually made our way to Wilson where we spent our first night. As we pulled in, I noticed on my phone that I'd received a photo from Beth, letting us know that Bella was having a great time! It was so great to see!
The living was easy today...

The subject turned to micro pigs (WANT!) and Will chimed in with his favorite barnyard sounds. Save for one -- the pig itself. While Mommy can expertly snort like a pig, Will can't quite get it. He exhales rather than inhales, which makes a great noise all on its own. But ...
Wonderful weekend in Charleston
So the last 36 hours has entailed 800 miles by car, 'lots' of miles by boat, great sights, delicious food, swimming in the pool, swimming in the sea and, most importantly, great company! We left Orlando as planned at about 7.30am and after a few stops along the way we arrived at Kelley and Henry's beautiful house at about 2.30pm. The kids dived in the pool immediately and were rather taken with how Otis, the black labrador, clearly ...

Barbeque I grew up with
Pigs roasted in the ground or on long racks on an open pit, cooked all day......this is what I remember growing up in Virginia and going to college in NC. The best barbeque and in Eastern Carolina, it's going to be vinegar based. Wilson is all about barbeque and country cooking and that's what you get at Parker's since ...

ø Ignore Lord SessadoreRaiyek's guarded skepticism turns to interest as he listens. He finds himself sympathizing with Rebekkah - after all, some would say he did the same as she, and twice over - but he is relieved to hear that Borius ultimately let the girl go her own way, and that he arranged to see her regularly. He's also more than a little relieved that this isn't just another heartless bounty hunt.
"Very well, Mr. Gand, I would be pleased to lend you my services. Would you happen to know where she was living, or any of her friends? Even somewhere she frequented ... did she visit you for those lunches, or did you meet in some public establishment?"

ø Ignore dimsdaleKruk listens intently and observes the banter back-and-forth between Mr. Gand, Vlastos and Raiyek. Yet his mind keeps wandering back to the hafling. He thinks to himself: I'm going to get that thief when I get back...I'll give him a taste of my axe...Kruk!...listen to what the guy is say'n. Kruk takes a deep breath and refocuses on the conversation...Gonna get'ya hafling....

The gith is used to people staring, at least in Daunton, but not in the manner Borius was. It both irked her and surprised her. Of course, she had no plans to let him anywhere near her alone. When Raiyek moves into his view, she gives a quiet laugh and shakes her head. At least she seemed to have a paladin protector on hand. Not that she couldn't take care of herself, though. She did grow up in The Nest on the Laughing Gallows. She sits there holding the small bottle of brandy and takes a small sip. The surge of energy combined with the comment on its price causes her to nearly pocket it, but she thinks better of it. It would not do, afterall, to lose this job. She listens intently to what Borius has to say and contemplates his words.
Finding the girl was not likely to be easy and she had few contacts in the city. However, a few inquiries among the artistic types in the lower quarters was likely to yield something. She nods her head and wonders if she has anything to add to the conversation. The price seemed reasonable, if the job was easy. However, if something more nefarious had occurred here than it would warrant a higher pay, at least she thought so. But then again, and she grins at this thought, she was known to be greedy for gold when a goal is in sight.
Additionally, on top of Raiyek's questions, Do you have any enemies that might kidnap her? Does she have a gallery or a specific street corner she was making use of to sell her art? Did you have anyone keeping an eye on her? You seem to have the means and the....predilection, if I may say so.

"She was very secretive, and didn't want me knowing where she lived or who her acquaintances were. I think she was afraid that I would show up unexpectedly and shower her with lavish gifts, which would ruin her reputation as a starving artist. As for the lunch, we met once a week at a fine little cafe called 'Stefan's'. I'd suggest you start looking there."
<Borius gives you a rough idea of where the cafe is. It resides near the border to Daunton's northern slums>
"Rebekkah was a sharp girl. I wouldn't know who to hire to follow her without drawing obvious attention to themselves, and if I did, she would have most likely found out and ceased our weekly meetings. She kept me in the dark about all of her activities; who her friends were, where she lived, etc. I mostly set up the meeting so that I could make sure that at least once a week she was getting a hot meal. It was never my intention to use our little get-togethers to pry into her private life. As for enemies...I can't say that I know of anyone who would want to hurt me, and assuming they DID want to get to me, there are much better ways of doing it. Understand, my relationship with Rebekkah is not something I advertise to my friends and family. Meeting in a dirty little restaurant once a week to have lunch with a commoner isn't something I'm especially PROUD of. If someone was trying to get to me, there certainly are better ways to go about doing it."
The carriage slows to a stop, and Maitre'd opens the cabin door. Outside is a rather lavish mansion in Daunton's noble district.
"It seems we've arriaved at my place of residance. Please, if you have any more questions, don't be afraid to drop by."
With that, Borius and Maitre'd usher you out of the carriage and continue past the gate to the mansion. It seems that the eladrin has, to use a merchant's term, "already assumed the sale".

7 Rabbit looks down at his gaudy orange armour. "If we are to be making discrete inquiries, I should find some more discrete clothing." He shrugs. "As a stranger to the city, I fear I have few suggestions of where to look. I know several rituals that would be of use in finding lost people, but alas, my magic has not worked since I left the Valley of Bone."

"Well, I guess we'd better be off, then. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with this city, either, but surely one of us is? And some ..." Raiyek searches for the right word, "less conspicuous clothing would probably be a good idea," he agrees with Rabbit.
"Does anyone else need to stop somewhere before we start our search? I think we should start with the cafe (What is a cafe? I haven't heard of them before.) - if Rebekkah was a regular there the staff might know her."Current and past PbP: http://www.enworld.org/forum/4853360-post58.html

"Maybe I should buy some armour in the local style, but I have looked for it before, and I have a hard time finding anything to fit me - I am large for a Dwarf, but too small for a human. If we can stop by a tailor, perhaps I can purchase a large robe. Fortunately I left my ceremonial mask in my room at the inn."
Rabbit thinks for a moment. "I did spend some time wandering the streets after I arrived, absorbing the local colour, and I looked at some art being sold on street corners. Maybe I saw some of her work."

The Rabbit is the most artsy dressed of all us, paladin, says the wizard. Since that's where we're going, it may be an advantage. I've never been to this Stephan's joint, personally, but I spent some time living in dogville myself as a scribe for a slumlord. People down there really don't care which way the pressure lies. If Rabbit doesn't care, neither will they. Just play it crazy dwarf, the act will go well with the Gith (no offense, I hope) - I think then we'll be unstoppable, and we'll just kill anything else, or least that's my view. You probably have a soft spot for the suffering masses. I really don't though I'm not out to destroy anyone who doesn't deserve it. Hard times, I'd probably still be stuck in that hell hole if I hadn't bumped into Kruk, but that's a story for a tavern.

ø Ignore dimsdale"Aye spell caster...you and me both...I remember that night as if it were yesterday." Kruk states as he stares off into space thinking of that encounter with Vlastos. Snapping back to reality, Kruk turns to Raiyek, Les, Vlastos, and 7-Rabbitt and states: " I...uh...stick out like a sore thumb. If you want me to stand back and keep a look out as the four of you use your charm and wit to gather information, that's fine with me."

Hey all,
while I was playing Aion this morning, training my Alchemy Skill in the ever busy Artisan's Hall, I noticed a large amount of lags. As this tends to occur a lot for me due to a sloppy internet connection I didn't care too much about it, but all of a sudden my laptop just stopped working, gave some kind of a blue screen, with some white text. Soon after it shut down and when I restarted it started showing a black screen with white text saying no operation system was installed! Could it be that this crash made me lose all my data and windows?
I had only been playing Aion for about 10 minutes and the laptop had been on for only one hour, so I don't think it could've been an overheat. Next to that my laptop should've been able to run Aion as it was only 4 months old and one of the newest ones out there, HP with solid state drive. Does anyone have any idea what went wrong and what I should/could do?
Thanks in advance,

Together with such renowned artists as Aivazovsky (1817-1900) and Repin (1844-1930), Harlamoff has always enjoyed a high reputation in Western Europe, and his attractive and sensitive portraits of young children and peasant girls have always been keenly sought by collectors, more so with the emergence in recent years of Russian collectors, eager to buy the best work painted by their countrymen.
Born in 1840 close to Saratov on the Volga, he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg at the age of fourteen. In 1869 he was awarded a gold medal with a travel scholarship which enabled him to travel to Paris where he studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts under Leon Bonnat (1833-1922), whose work in portraiture was a strong influence on the young artist, prompting him to produce portraits of the poet Alphonse Daudet, the singer Pauline Viardot-Garcia in the 1870s. His portrait of Ivan Turgenev caught the eye of Emile Zola who rated it as among the best works of the Paris Salon of 1876. It was at Bonnats suggestion that in Harlamoff travelled to Spain in 1874 to study the work of Velasquez.
Highly praised by his contemporaries, the marine artist Alexei Bogoliubov (1824-1896) visited him at his Paris studio in 1875 declaring of his future that everyone predicts a brilliant career. Turgenev also claimed that Harlamoff was his favourite artist and was particularly taken with his little portrait heads. In 1883, the huge demand for the artists work from private collectors and dealers in London and Paris, was noted in the Russian journal
Novoye Vremya
Harlamoffs reputation grew as he participated in the Salon exhibitions between 1875 and 1882, again in 1909, in the Universal Exhibition in Vienna in 1873, and in the Paris Exhibitions of 1878, 1889, and 1900. Highly praised by the French art critics, he came to the attention of wealthy American and European collectors who appreciated the genre pictures and portraits that he was producing, particularly his idealised portraits of young women and girls. Queen Victoria greatly admired his painting of children playing with flowers that was exhibited at the Glasgow International Exhibition of 1888.
Harlamoff exhibited with the
from 1879-1917, becoming a member of the association in 1882. His work, whilst criticised for a lack of social commentary, was highly praised for its quality.
His popularity waned in the later years of his life with the work after 1910 produced in a far more sketchy style. He died in Paris in relative obscurity on the 10th April 1925.
