A Bookstore Update from David
Couple of days ago I put together five sets of eight assorted Scudder paperbacks. We mentioned them on Facebook and they sold out overnight @ $49.99 a set. I was encouraged enough to do the same for Bernie R—six sets this time, eight titles per set, mostly mint paperbacks but we offered them as signed reading copies. Same deal, same price. Mentioned them on Facebook and four sets sold in a couple of hours. We've got two sets left. I may be able to put together some more sets down the line, if and when I open the right box, but no guarantees.
THE UPDATE UPDATED: The two sets sold, almost as soon as the post went out. Well, gee—I got busy as a nitpicker picking nits, and put together six more sets. Same deal, eight nice fresh reading copies, some UK editions mixed in, and all of them signed by The Big Fellow.
I'm thinking of putting together a multi-copy set of the Tanner series. I'll have to see how many copies we can spare. (The reason we have all of these paperbacks is LB's agent used to need them for foreign submission; now, in an age where everything is electronic and moves magically through cyberspace, that's not as necessary as it was.)
While I was looking for things, I found a lost box of The Burglar in the Rye. We were down to one or two copies, having discarded several with ripped covers and other disasters, and they were pegged at $24.99, but we've got enough on hand to put 'em on special at $9.99. Facebookers grabbed a batch, and last I looked we have 19 left. These are hardcover first editions in brand-new condition, and of course I got him to sign them.
The steady ka-ching! that greeted the price drop on Rye led me to hunt some more, and guess what? We've got an equally good supply of the Dutton hardcover first editions of The Burglar Who Studied Spinoza and The Burglar Who Painted Like Mondrian. They're firsts, they're signed, and they're the same format as Rye—and, duh, the same price. $9.99.
Oh, before I forget. The Burglar Paperback Reading Copy set is US-only. We can ship the individual hardcover books internationally, but note that the per-copy shipping charge is double what you'd pay for the book itself, so you may or may not feel it's worth it. I'm not sure I worded all of this as well as I could have, or as he would have, but click the links and the pertinent shipping information will appear.

PS—I couldn't decide which book to illustrate in this post, so decided instead on a still from A Walk Among the Tombstones. Just because I like it. That's Liam Neeson as Matthew Scudder and Astro (aka Brian Bradley) as TJ. But you figured that out, right?
The Joe R. Lansdale Binge of Summer '14
Oh yes, it definitely was. THE DRIVE-IN threw me for a loop and quickly became one my very favorite books, and Joe Lansdale became one of my very favorite writers. I sought out all of his available books at the time, read them in a near-frenzy of fan-worship, preached the Lansdale gospel to everyone I knew.
But over the years I sort of lost track of him a little. He released book after book, becoming steadily more popular, but I had moved on and shifted my obsession to the great paperback original writers of the '50's and early '60's.
That was pretty stupid of me. When I finally caught up to him, I was very happy to discover that Lansdale had only gotten better and better in the intervening years. He really is a remarkably original voice, and even though his work is closer to mainstream now than it ever was, he is still fearless, still wry and crude, still a writer's writer.
I read a total of 13 Lansdale's in a row on this binge, which took me about halfway through the ones I have on my shelf. Maybe next July I'll tackle the rest...
Here are my notes on the Great Summer Lansdale Binge, in no real order:
When a burglar breaks into his home, husband and father Richard Dane is forced to shoot him down. Dane isn't a violent man, and the event is traumatic for him-- but when the burglar's father, Ben Russel, comes seeking revenge, Dane finds himself confronting the darkest parts of his own heart.
That set-up in really only the starting point of this highly unpredictable novel. Bizarre circumstances push Dane and Russel into the role of allies, and their journey leads them to discover a very dark and very disturbing conspiracy that changes both men forever.
I first read this one some twenty years ago. It was among the first two or three that turned me into a serious Lansdale fan and one I've been itching to re-read for some time. It stands up very well, even though Lansdale has definitely gotten better and his voice more distinctive since. Terrific book.
This first of what would become a series about Hap Collins and Leonard Pine is just a terrific book, and I loved it as much on this second reading as I had waaay back in 1990. When Hap's ex, Trudy, shows up, Hap and Leonard get drawn into a search for hidden money. Trudy has hooked up with some old '60's radicals who have big plans for the cash. Things go south, of course, and the last half of SAVAGE SEASON is riddled with tension and double-crosses that come at a lightning pace. There's a huge, amazingly suspenseful action sequence at the climax that just blew me away. Vintage Lansdale.
While SAVAGE SEASON, the first appearance of Hap and Leonard, was kind of a "caper" novel, this one is more a straight-up mystery. Well, as "straight-up" as you could expect from Lansdale, anyway... and if you know Lansdale, you know he doesn't really do "straight-up".
Leonard's uncle dies, leaving Leonard a house, lots of money, and a dead boy hidden under the floorboards, along with an assortment of moldering kiddie porn mags. This unsavory discovery sets Leonard and Hap on a quest to clear Leonard's uncle's name and nab the real killer. Along the way, they uncover more victims, and since all the victims are wayward black boys, the police aren't much help.
At its heart, this is a novel about the politics of race in E. Texas, and Lansdale doesn't flinch when it comes to that subject. It's a solid mystery novel, too, even if the bad guy(s) are somewhat telegraphed. But what really makes MUCHO MOJO shine, just like all the other books in this series, is the terrific relationship between Hap and Leonard; a straight white guy and a gay black guy with a friendship that is as deep and strong as any you'll ever read about. Their banter is witty and affectionate and feels very real. While the other relationships in the novel-- especially Hap's doomed romance with Florida-- maybe fall a little flat, all is forgiven when Hap and Leonard are on the page together.
Joe Lansdale's first published novel, from 1981, was released in the early days of the serial killer craze that gripped the reading and movie-watching public in the '80's, the zeitgeist that culminated in SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, but kept hobbling along after that until most of us were sick unto death of serial killer stories.
The story is simple: a depraved killer, The Houston Hacker, goes around slicing up women, and a detective, Marvin Hanson, pursues him. There are a couple of twists and turns near the end as Lansdale keeps us guessing who the killer is. Hanson's family is put in danger when the Hacker decides he's getting too close. That's about it.
It's hard to make any sort of judgment about it all these years later, because all the tropes we're so familiar with now probably weren't so overdone then. And being a huge fan of Lansdale, it's kinda hard for me to be harsh about this one. But compared to the work Champion Joe would do later, ACT OF LOVE is, honestly, not great. There's very little of the writer he would become evident here; none of those eccentric character tics, none of that exceptional dialogue or black humor. In fact, ACT OF LOVE is pretty much a humorless book, and the violence is unrestrained and almost immaturely graphic, to no real purpose. I don't know. Maybe I'm judging too harshly, as right before this one I read THE BOTTOMS, which is Lansdale at his very finest. Maybe it's not fair to compare a writer to himself 25 years ago.
But regardless, the Lansdale we have now is, without question, one of the finest and most original writers working. Unless you're a hardcore fan or a completest, though, I'd suggest skipping ACT OF LOVE.
After a mysterious childhood illness, Harry Wilkes is left with a strange condition-- loud noises cause visions of past horrors to come to him in crippling clarity. Now in college, he has shut himself off from the world and turned to boozing to numb the vision's power. When he meets Tad, an older alcoholic, they work together to find their "centers", until Harry's childhood friend/crush Kayla shows up begging Harry's help in finding her father's murderer. And the results could end up killing them all.
This is an exceptionally strong novel, even for Lansdale. The characters are fully realized in all their flaws and weaknesses, and the subject of alcoholism is treated with remarkable insight and realism. A terrific thriller.
This volume contains two short novels, "Zeppelins West" and "Flaming London"; in the first, Buffalo Bill Cody's travelling Wild West Show winds up in Imperial Japan on a secret mission, where Cody (who, by the way, is just a head in a Mason jar), Wild Bill Hickok, Annie Oakley, and Sitting Bull rescue the Frankenstein Monster from an evil shogun. Then, with the Japanese in pursuit, they crash in the ocean, are rescued by Captain Bemo (standing in for Captain Nemo), and taken to the Island of Dr. Momo (standing in for Dr. Moreau). And that's just the beginning. You might get the impression that this is a seriously goofy, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink, romp, and you'd be right. It's wildly anarchic and over-the-top.
The second volume,"Flaming London", continues the bizarre fun, as Ned the Seal (introduced as a minor character in the first one but taking more center stage here) teams up with Mark Twain and Jules Verne to battle invading Martians a la War of the Worlds. Along the way, they encounter a giant steam man, a talking Martian ape, pirates lost in time, and the Flying Dutchman.
So, yeah. Crazy stuff. Lansdale without a filter, basically. The first novel has a nice, flying by the seat of your pants feeling, as if Lansdale is making it up as he goes and is having a helluva good time. The second one is more cohesive, and maybe a bit more satisfying in the long run. But both of them are well worth reading.
DEADMAN'S ROAD contains all of Lansdale's tales of the Rev Jebidiah Mercer, the gunslinger preacher who wanders the West destroying supernatural evil wherever he finds it. The bulk of the volume is taken up by the short novel DEAD IN THE WEST, in which the tormented Reverend arrives in Mud Creek, Texas, the target of a vengeful Indian curse and hordes of flesh-eating zombies. In the other stories, Reverend Mercer has his head on a little straighter (which isn't saying much, the guy's a mess) and vanquishes werewolves, goblins, and demonic bees.
All the stories are fun and profane in the best Lansdale tradition. Not too many writers can balance grim against funny, horrifying against goofy, the way Joe Lansdale can, and the result of that is a handful of stories that only HE could have written.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is probably Lansdale's most fully realized novel that I've read so far. It is entirely gripping, with terrific and believable characters, pitch-perfect pacing, and, in the last fourth, almost unbearable suspense.
Like several of his other more "serious" novels (please note I use serious in quotation marks) THE BOTTOMS takes place in Depression-era East Texas. Young Harry and his little sister Tom find the mutilated corpse of a black woman, and as horrifying as it is, it's only the beginning in a string of murders that ultimately lead to the lynching of an innocent black man for the crime. Harry's father, who acts as a part time constable, has his hands full trying to find the murderer while keeping the KKK from taking further steps in the black community.
More than a few times, THE BOTTOMS made me think of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD; the comparison is inevitable. The narrator is a young person who's father is often the sole voice of reason in a town stained by ugly institutionalized racism. There's even aBoo Radley of sorts, near the end. And speaking of that ending... the last chapter is just flat-out terrifying.
The third Hap and Leonard book, and the strongest so far. At the request of their cop friend Hanson, the boys head off to Grovetown, Texas, in search of Hanson's girlfriend (and Hap's ex) Florida. What they find is a kind of throwback town, full of Jim Crow types. No sir, they don't like "coloreds" in Grovetown. Trying to get a bead on where Florida has vanished to, Hap and Leonard find themselves in pretty serious straits, asking questions that are making some of Grovetown's more illustrious citizens nervous-- and a little past the halfway mark in THE TWO-BEAR MAMBO, our heroes get a pretty shocking reminder of their own mortality with a pretty brutal beat-down. Of course, it takes a whole mob of folks to do it, but it's enough to make the boys start second-guessing themselves.
Reading this one, it dawned on me finally that I've really developed an emotional attachment to Hap and Leonard. It's hard not to like them, right from the first book, but in this one it really hit home; there were a few moments when I found myself worried about them, which was ridiculous, as I know full well there are more books in the series after this one, and yet... I got so caught up in events I wasn't even thinking about that.
Anyway, the last fourth of THE TWO-BEAR MAMBO goes dark, as Hap and Leonard find it in themselves to get back on the horse and finish what they started, despite their fear and new-found insecurity. And the climax, set during a raging rain storm and the threat of the entire town flooding with them in it, is a nail biter. Great stuff.
A collection of Lansdale's most popular stories. Very good stuff, and a reminder of what an original voice he was, right from the very beginning of his career. Most of these stories are pretty brutal and pretty graphic. Others, like "Bob the Dinosaur Goes to Disneyland" are surprisingly whimsical, even if they DO have that twisted Lansdale touch.
Favorites include the aforementioned "Bob the Dinosaur", the truly disturbing "By Bizarre Hands", the black comedy "Night They Missed the Horror Show", the action-packed and scary "Incident On and Off a Mountain Road", the Alfred Hitchcock-esque "The Steel Valentine", and the tragic-funny "Godzilla's Twelve-Step Program".
Bill is a loser in the classic mold, a shiftless fella without much brains or ambition. He's been living off his mother's social security checks, but when she dies (and her corpse starts stinking the place up) the pipeline dries up and Bill comes up with a scheme to rob a fireworks stand across the street from his house. The "heist" goes south in a hurry, and Bill has to take it on the lam through a dangerous swamp. He winds up joining a travelling freak show, making friends with a dog boy, and falling hard for the freak show owner's sexy young wife... and of course, the wife has a plan to do away with her husband...
If you've read any old Gold Medal paperback originals from guys like Charles Williams or Day Keene or Robert Edmund Alter, or even if you've read James M. Cain, you already know this story backwards and forwards. But Lansdale does the Lansdale thing with it, making it hysterically funny at times, dark, profane, a little vile on occasion, but compellingly readable. There are lots of surprises along the way, some truly memorable characters and scenes, and seeing the way Bill changes (in some ways he becomes a better person, and in other ways, well... not so much) is fascinating.
Also, I should note, the whole opening segment involving the botched robbery and Bill's escape through the swamp is one of the funniest things I've ever read in my life. It was disturbing too, but I couldn't help but laugh out loud a few times.
This one starts with one of the funnier sequences in the Hap and Leonard series, as the boys are attacked out of nowhere by a rabid squirrel; it's a seemingly random beginning that actually becomes relevant at the end. But even if it wasn't, it works as a purely comic scene.
The whole book is pretty funny, really. There's more emphasis on comedy than in the previous books, and that's probably why I like it maybe just a little less. But a LOT happens in this one-- Leonard's boyfriend Raul disappears, Leonard is accused of murder (surprisingly, he's cleared pretty quickly)and the boys investigate a ring of black market gay-bashing video makers. There are lots of quirky characters and quirky scenes, but BAD CHILI maybe doesn't hold together as a whole as well as previous Hap and Leonard novels.
I'm being nit-picky, of course. Even a lesser Hap & Leonard novel is well-worth reading. Some bonus's are the surprise appearance of Jim Bob Luke, from COLD IN JULY, and a really thrilling climax that takes place during a tornado. Poor Hap keeps getting caught in the middle of natural disasters. And of course, the easy camaraderie between Hap & Leonard is a pure joy.
Depression-era E Texas: during a violent storm, Sunset Jones kills her husband, the constable, as he attempts to rape her. Much to Camp Rapture's dismay, she inherits his job and finds herself in the middle of a double murder investigation that implicates some of the town's highest officials. And Sunset's life, as well as the lives of her daughter and her friends, is in serious danger.
That summary doesn't do it justice. This is Lansdale at his best. SUNSET & SAWDUST is a suspenseful, darkly comic thriller with all of the great, wry touches Champion Joe is known for. And Sunset is just a terrific character. In this age when too many creators think a "strong female character" is basically just a man in drag, Lansdale gives us a believable and engaging heroine who is strong BECAUSE she's a woman, not in spite of it. You'll definitely root for her.
Composing A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES
On the passing of Jerry Healy
It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Jeremiah Healy. Jerry was a great guy and a terrific writer, and we were proud to re-release his Cuddy novels as eBooks, so that they could be available to a new generation of readers.
McIlvanney Takes the Marsh
Judging convenor Craig Sisterson says of McIlvanney's success: "In a year where we had our strongest, deepest, and most diverse longlist ever, and four truly fantastic finalists, Where the Dead Men Go got the nod for its terrific, page-turning storytelling powered by superb prose, fascinating characters, and an evocative sense of place. It's the kind of book that lingers in your mind beyond the final page."
A press release announcing the 2014 Ngaio Marsh Award results synopsizes the plot of McIvanney's latest novel this way:
In Where the Dead Men Go, Glasgow stands on the precipice: of the Commonwealth Games, a national vote on Scottish independence, and an explosive rekindling of a brutal gangland war. Gerry Conway is a jaded, jobbing journo, the golden child fallen, clinging to the coat-tails of his former protégé, Martin Moir. When Moir's body is discovered as a big story breaks, Conway steps into his shoes; a very dangerous place, as gangsters, politicians, and other predators swirl around.The book is finally set for release in the United States on October 2.
To capture the Ngaio Marsh Award, Where the Dead Men Go had to surpass three other shortlisted works: My Brother's Keeper, by Donna Malane (HarperCollins); Frederick's Coat, by Alan Duff (Vintage); and Joe Victim, by Paul Cleave (Simon & Schuster). "In addition to the award itself," press materials explain, "McIlvanney wins a set of Dame Ngaio's novels, courtesy of HarperCollins, and a cheque for $1,000 from the Christchurch Writers' Festival Trust."

So these two guys walk into a bar…
On Thursday, September 4th, at 8pm EST, legendary bestselling author Hugh Howie and I will have an impromptu live chat on Authors On The Air radio. This will be the literary equivalent of a cage fight, no rules, no referee, no limitations on the amount of popcorn consumed. If you don't tune in, a puppy will…well, you don't want to know.
Those of you who follow my utterings have no doubt heard me on Pam Stack's show, which usually quickly deteriorates into name calling, abuse, vulgarity, and profanity that would make a drunk sailor blush.
Why Hugh, who sells more books than Elvis or the Beatles, would sully his otherwise pristine reputation by agreeing to this abuse is beyond me. I'm guessing he lost a bet. Or was drunk. Or both.
Be that as it may, this presents a marvelous opportunity to ask the man anything you like, either calling in, or by leaving the questions you'd most like answered by him in the comments section of this blog. Don't bother leaving questions for me because I'll just ignore the uncomfortable ones (which are most, knowing you lot), but Hugh's way too polite, which is probably why he can buy and sell me like a used Yugo.
So what would you like to know? Whose shirts he wears? Whether he's jealous he didn't write JET? What his favorite color is? What's next in his career? Ask away. No guarantees he'll answer, but this is your best shot.
In the meantime, clock's ticking down on my first co-authored novel with Clive Cussler, The Eye Of Heaven, going live on Tuesday. And I'm busy writing away with him on the next installment, so the first one can't be too terrible. Don't be a cheapskate – spring the bucks to buy it and find out.
Because, as we all know, the bar tabs don't pay themselves…
See y'all on Thursday.

"Mocking Bird." An episode of SHOESTRING. BBC/BBC1, UK, 19 October 1980. Cast: Trevor Eve as PI Eddie Shoestring, Michael Medwin as Don Satchley, Doran Goodwin as Erica Bayliss and Liz Crowther as Sonia. Guest Cast: Frederick Jaeger, John J. Carney, Patti Love, David Sibley. Created by Richard Harris and Robert Banks Stewart. Written by William Hood. Theme by George Fenton. Directed by Ben Bolt. Produced by Robert Banks Stewart.
SHOESTRING is perhaps as fondly remembered overseas as THE ROCKFORD FILES remains here in the States. And it is easy to see why as both are blessed with clever writing, likeable characters and a talented lead actor.
SHOESTRING is on DVD but has never been released on the American format NTSC region 1 so you will need a multi-format DVD player if you wish to buy the DVD.
While there are more episodes of the series on YouTube, I have chosen a special program, SHAW TAYLOR'S CRIME FILES where British celebrity Shaw Taylor MBE takes a quick look at the series. A complete episode of SHOESTRING from its second season "Mocking Bird" begins around the 3:19 point.
SHOESTRING was still popular when Trevor Eve decided to leave due to his fear of being type-casted. Here is an excerpt from a popular British TV series CULT OF… that looked at various cult TV favorites, in this case THE CULT OF SHOESTRING.
For even more information about SHOESTRING, you can read this page from the BFI site.

Prescription for healthcare success
The Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal Sentinel, October 18, 2010
When hired as chief executive of Columbia St. Mary's in late 2001, Leo Brideau took over a health care system with two hospitals 1.2 miles apart, each with a different culture and with departments often staffed by competing physician groups.
He knew one of his tasks would be combining the two.
"Basically, you had an organization that for five years was treading water," Brideau said in 2005.
The opening this month of Columbia St. Mary's $417 million hospital at 2301 N. Lake Drive - consolidating the former Columbia and St. Mary's hospitals - marks the last step.
It was nearly a decade in the making.

Archie Andrews will die taking a bullet for his gay best friend.
The famous freckle-faced comic book icon is meeting his demise in Wednesday's installment of "Life with Archie" when he intervenes in an assassination attempt on Kevin Keller, Archie Comics' first openly gay character. Andrews' death, which was first announced in April, will mark the conclusion of the series that focuses on grown-up renditions of Andrews and his Riverdale pals.
"The way in which Archie dies is everything that you would expect of Archie," said Jon Goldwater, Archie Comics publisher and co-CEO. "He dies heroically. He dies selflessly. He dies in the manner that epitomizes not only the best of Riverdale but the best of all of us. It's what Archie has come to represent over the past almost 75 years."
Keller's character first joined Veronica Lodge, Betty Cooper, Jughead Jones and Reggie Mantle in the Archie Comics spin-off "Veronica" in 2010. He later appeared in his own solo title. In "Life with Archie," Keller is a married military veteran and newly elected senator who's pushing for more gun control in Riverdale after his husband was involved in a shooting.
"We wanted to do something that was impactful that would really resonate with the world and bring home just how important Archie is to everyone," said Goldwater. "That's how we came up with the storyline of saving Kevin. He could have saved Betty. He could have saved Veronica. We get that, but metaphorically, by saving Kevin, a new Riverdale is born."
Who shot Archie? Goldwater isn't spoiling the killer, only teasing it's a stalker who wanted to take Keller down.
Archie's final moments will be detailed in "Life with Archie" No. 36, while issue No. 37 will jump forward a year and focus on the Riverdale gang honoring the legacy of their red-headed pal, who first appeared in comics in 1941 and went on to become a colorful icon of wholesomeness. Other incarnations of Andrews will continue to live on in Archie Comics series.
In recent years, deaths of high-profile comic book characters like Peter "Spider-Man" Parker and Steve "Captain America" Rogers have made headlines and garnered intense reaction from fans. Goldwater notes that Andrews' passing isn't just a publicity stunt but also a lesson about gun violence and a declaration of diversity in the new age of Archie Comics.
"Archie is not a superhero like all the rest of the comic book characters," said Goldwater. "He's human. He's a person. When you wound him, he bleeds. He knows that. If anything, I think his death is more impactful because of that. We hope by showing how something so violent can happen to Archie, that we can — in some way — learn from him."

Applications for benefits dropped 16,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. The four-week average declined 4,500 to 357,500.
Applications are a proxy for layoffs. When they decline, it signals that companies are cutting fewer jobs.
Still, layoffs are only half the equation: Businesses also need to be confident enough in the economy to step up hiring. Many companies have been advertising more jobs but have been slow to fill them. Job openings jumped 11 percent during the 12 months that ended in February, but the number of people hired declined, according to a Labor Department report this month.
The still-uncertain economy has made many companies reluctant to hire. Some employers appear to be holding out for perfect job candidates. In particular, companies say they can't find enough qualified candidates for high-skilled manufacturing and engineering jobs.
Other employers may not be offering high enough pay to attract the candidates they need.
Still, most economists were encouraged by Thursday's report on unemployment benefits, though some cautioned against reading too much into one week's data.
"The downtrend in unemployment remains on track," said Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics.
In March, employers added only 88,000 jobs. That was a sharp drop from the previous four months, when hiring averaged 220,000 per month.

Vice-President of Operations, Max Hinojosa says the new spaces are just the beginning of a project to add 250 spaces south of the International Cultural Center, "We have the new park and ride which is over west of the Health Sciences Center and this whole park and ride once it's accomplished will hold 1500 cars."
Construction on the park-and-ride lot will begin this fall. Hinojosa says students will not see an increase in parking fees this year.

Best torrent downloader?
I am going to DL the torrent sharing file system and I was wondering whay is the best one? I would like to know the thoughts of everyone.
I suggest you use ABC ( http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net ), it's simple and easy to use.
Note: this topic has already been discussed at numerous times like here and here.
I kind of like torrent storm
azureus makes my day :)
I use Bit Torrent++, I never have had any problems with it, it seems to work quite well. As for Azureus I have heard that it is one of the best ones and it has been reccomended to me on numerous occasions by many people but, I have not been able to get it running to try it myself. Torrent Storm is also very good but I haven't used it for an extended period of time, I have only used it for a couple downloads.
I use azureus, since I get higher speeds with that than the others.
If anyone is having trouble getting it to run, you might need to download/update your java runtimes. It wont run without them.
Azereus is probably the fastest downloading client, but it's a major memory hog and it's slow.
I think you should try as many as possible yourself and then choose based on that.
Myself, I use ABC though.
Azureus for me too, simply because i can clearly see the pieces info for the files that i'm downloading, and able to set priority on the torrent (i.e. low prio for those finished and uploading, and high for those that currently being downloaded), but i have to go with Flash_Squirrel and say download the one that works best for you, check out the Download forum, you get more info there
I use Shadow's client. It works best and is easy to tweak to get the best rates, and the super seeder mode is great for reseeding torrents! I always wanted that feature in BT and I'm glad someone added it. That way you can seed many torrents with minimal bandwidth usage.
I still want a "super stingy" mode that will only seed packets if fewer than a certain % of the clients have it. (i.e. will flat out stop seeding if the other clients are doing a good enough job of it.)
My µTorrent just upgraded itself to the 2.2 version with "enhanced privacy features".
How does this version compare to the other clients out there?
Which client is the best at ensuring privacy?
uTorrent 3.0 Alpha
Project Falcon is very useful, uT is also small and efficient
I live in the country, and I have found that ALL of the newer versions of uTorrent tend to pose problems with my computer and downloads. So, I have switched back to uTorrent 1.8.4, as it is the most stable for the conditions I download under.
The newest version is awful .. First of all the skin .. just ugh it's just awful compared to simplistic version we had before. After I installed the newest update, my upload speed has been really awful too. Just prior to the update, I was uploading 1Mbps but after update only around 400kbps and it's not raising .. And the torrents do have leechers.
I would like to go back to the previous version but .. How do I do that while keeping my list of torrents + statistics. I usually browse and open files from the µTorrent client as there are several thousands of them on my harddrive and they aren't really organized so it's easier to find them from there ...
rtorrent is simply the best!
uTorrent simply best bet really

PETA pitches for
Pet Shop Animal Shelter Boys
The Pet Shop Boys have said they're "unable to agree" to a request by animal rights organisation PETA to change their name to "Animal Shelter Boys". According to the pop duo's website, they got a nice letter from PETA's Special Projects Manager, Yvonne Taylor, which began: Dear Neil and Chris, You have many loyal fans of the …
@JimRoss, et alii, re: critters as sex toys.
"Pet Shop Boys are so named after the fetish of using animals for sexual purposes."
No, they are not. It's an urban legend. See:
I've been waiting for someone else to point this out ... and I'm VERY surprised that nobody has up to this point. I was under the (mis)impression that the readers here had a better education than most of the rest of the rubes on the planet. I guess I was wrong.
No, I'm not a PetShopBoys fan. When it comes to music, I require talent, not hype.

LOS ANGELES (FOX 11/AP) - Two of Marvin Gaye's children have countersued Robin Thicke and his collaborators on the hit "Blurred Lines" for copyright infringement.
The suit filed Wednesday in a Los Angeles federal court accuses Thicke and fellow singers Pharrell and T.I. of copying Gaye's hit "Got to Give It Up."
Nona Marvisa Gaye and Frankie Christian Gaye also accused music company EMI of failing to pursue a copyright infringement claim and trying to intimidate Gaye's children from filing a lawsuit.
EMI is owned by Sony Music Entertainment, which didn't immediately return a phone message seeking comment.
Thicke asked a federal judge in August to rule that his song didn't copy "Got to Give It Up."
Thicke's attorney Howard King says the Gayes' decision to sue EMI shows the family doesn't have the authority to pursue claims against his client.

Once it reaches this point it may be too late for the individual. However, those that believe in "the rule of law" and the Constitution should have put a stop to this way before it gets to house to house searches.
I'm sure as a soldier,you would shoot enemies of the US,so why is it so hard to shoot anti-Constitutional traitors?
they may live here,but they are not Americans.
and the last time I looked,the Second Amendment was still a part of the Constitution.
I have not seen ANY attempts by "progressives" to amend the Constitution,just attempts to enact unconstitutional laws,trying to ignore the 2nd Amendment.
That ain't gonna fly.
the ones to shoot are the US legislators who ratified such a law,the putz who SIGNED the law,the judges who upheld it.
if you wait until they are at your door,it's already too late. They WILL bring overwhelming force to bear on individuals and small groups. You'll end up like the Branch Davidians at Waco.
the time to act is right after the oppressive laws are enacted.
I have my gun to protect myself from those guys!!!
I like to think that I'm capable of being that devoted to my principles, that if some official demanded I hand over my guns he'd be met with the large bore of my .45 staring at him. But would I really do that with my family in the house?
I just don't know Amy.
Let's say that the progressives are successful in banning personal ownership of firearms. After the people that are willing to voluntarily surrender their guns, the progressives decide to go house to house with whatever agency they task with confiscation.
Let's say they knock on your door and threaten you with prison if you don't hand over all of your guns and submit to an intyrusive search on your home. What are you going to do?
Media discussions of gun control are dominated by two factors: the National Rifle Association and the Second Amendment. But the over-riding factual question is whether gun control laws actually reduce gun crimes in general or murder rates in particular.
If, as gun control advocates claim, gun control laws really do control guns and save lives, there is nothing to prevent repealing the Second Amendment, any more than there was anything to prevent repealing the...

The UFC continues to sign Asian prospects to fill their line up for their inaugural trip to Singapore. As UFC officials have confirmed, Filipino URCC champion Dave Galera (5-0) has signed with the promotion and will be taking on fellow newcomer, Royston Wee (2-0) in his home country. The bout will be part of the UFC Fight Night 34 card, and an official announcement is expected to be made tomorrow.
Galera is the first Filipino National to be signed by the UFC and he trains out of Team Lakay, the Philippines' top MMA camp that has constantly produced stars in the region. He's unbeaten in 5 contests with all wins coming by stoppage, and he recently won the URCC bantamweight title on his last bout. Although not as seasoned or experienced as his more established teammates such as Kevin Belingon, Rey Docyogen or Eduard Folayang, "The Scarecrow" has definitely showed some promise on his relatively young MMA career.
His opponent in Wee on the other hand is 2-0 so far, and will be fighting in front of his home country as the first Singaporean to fight in the big show. He trains at Impact MMA and has claimed a couple of submission wins at Malaysian Fighting Championship.
A third bantamweight has also been signed for the card as Evolve MMA founder Chatri Sityodtong has announced that ONE FC star Leandro Issa (11-3) has been picked up by the UFC and is set to debut against a yet to be named opponent. The Brazilian BJJ Blackbelt is a product of Evolve MMA, and has been living and training in Singapore for the past few years. He's one of the country's more popular adopted stars, and holds quality wins over Masakazu Imanari and Yusup Saadulaev.
Although Issa has been announced to be taking on Koetsu Okazaki at ONE FC 13 in Manila, it looks like the bout will be scrapped and Victor Cui has agreed to release the fighter to pave way for a UFC berth. Sityodtong also mentioned that other Evolve MMA stars such as Shinya Aoki and Eddie Ng have both decided to decline offers from the UFC and will be staying with ONE FC "due to more favorable economics".
Check out the current line up for the Singapore card below:
UFC Fight Night 34: Singapore

Jake Ellenberger vs. Tarec Saffiedine [5 rounds]

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God,
that you amy be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of
wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to
withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."

Narrative already has a number of high-profile clients on board, including Sprint's Boost Mobile and GlobalGrind.com, a website Simmons founded and Ms. Clarke-Stone runs. GlobalGrind clients Universal Pictures, Toyota, Pantene, Pepsi, and Tide could all come under Narrative's purview as GlobalGrind shifts its digital operations to Narrative.
(UPDATE: The official press release, which came out this afternoon, confirms that all of GlobalGrind's clients will be managed by Narrative)
Simmons says he's drawn to advertising because he sees "a great hole in the market." According to Simmons, the new American mainstream is urban culture — and this does not just mean African-American culture. Narrative will likely adopt this mantra in its approach.
This is not Simmons's foray into advertising; in 1999, he formed an urban-oriented agency — dRush — with ad mogul Donny Deutsch. dRush was dissolved after three years due to "increased business demands."
