City works to put Lift Station No. 87 on track
Date: December 21, 2012
by: Roger Drouin | City Editor
Sarasota officials have been working to get a long-delayed and troubled $12.5 million lift station construction project back on track.
The new Lift Station 87 is being built in Lukewood Park at the southeastern corner of U.S. 41 and Osprey Avenue to replace Lift Station 7 at 935 Pomelo Avenue, close to Hudson Bayou.
The station on Pomelo is being replaced because it is aging, lacks full on-site backup power, is on land not owned by the city and has had a history of malfunctions and sewer spills—including a major 570,000-gallon spill seven years ago into Hudson Bayou.
City officials have blamed the engineering firms Boyle Engineering and AECOM Technology Corp. for failing to move ahead with a key part of the lift-station project that involved micro-tunneling under the bayou for a main sewer pipe.
Once the new lift station at Lukewood Park is completed, the wastewater flows from Lift Station No. 7 will be redirected to the new station.
All of the construction work is expected to take up to 30 months, with the a portion of wasterwater directed to the new lift station in as early as four months, according to the update.
According to a city update earlier this month, the city is taking the following steps:
· Temporarily re-opening Osprey Avenue to two-lane traffic. The roadway was scheduled to open Friday, Dec. 21, according to city officials.
• Hiring a new engineer-of-record for the project—a firm that "understands the "complex components of this project; demonstrates they have the resources… and expertise to address the critical constructability issues."
• Updated construction plans will undergo a full peer review by an independent firm.
• Construction of the 36-inch sewer line from Lift Station 87 will cross under the bayou. The pipe will be installed through microtunneling construction techniques.
• Lift Station No. 7 will eventually be taken out of service and demolished. The site will be restored and fully landscaped.

iShares, the world's largest ETF company, is looking to market two U.S. equities ETFs linked to MSCI benchmarks that weight securities based on risk and value measures.
In two separate filings, the company detailed plans for a risk-weighted and a value-weighted ETF that track MSCI benchmarks constructed around the broad, market-capitalization-weighted MSCI USA Index, which comprises securities in the top 85 percentile by market cap.
Plans for such funds is part of a relatively new trend in the worlds of ETFs and indexing centering on "smart beta" or so-called strategy indexes that attempt to carve up the investment universe on the basis of specific factors—in this case, risk and value.
The iShares MSCI USA Risk Weighted Index Fund tracks the MSCI USA Risk Weighted Index, which "reweights" the securities comprised in the broader MSCI USA Index in an effort to have those with the lowest risk profiles represent a larger percentage of the mix.
Risk is measured as historical variance over a three-year period of weekly return data, with those with the lowest variance ranking highest in the portfolio, the filing said. In the end, the methodology is designed to show lower realized volatility relative to the parent MSCI index.
The iShares MSCI USA Value Weighted Index Fund applies the same reweighting concept to the broader MSCI USA Index, but hones in on stocks that show lower market value relative to "certain accounting measures of value," such as book value, three-year moving average of sales, earnings and cash earnings, the second filing said.
While energy, financials and information technology are the main sectors comprised the value-weighted portfolio, consumer discretionary and staples, financials and utilities companies represent the majority of the risk-weighted ETF.
Both funds would join the iShares MSCI USA Index Fund (NYSEArca: EUSA), which has gathered $155 million since it came to market in mid-2010. EUSA has an annual expense ratio of 0.15 percent.
Neither filing disclosed planned tickers, fees or the exchange where the ETFs will be listed.

Pursuant to the 5th amendment, Experimental, Pursuant to article 1 section 8 clause 8
I am the only one in the entire United States and in the entire world who answered with a workable tax collection system President Clinton's question of HOW CAN GOVERNMENT COLLECT TAXES WITHOUT A COLLECTOR"
My complaint on a CSPAN call in program even caused one of twelve national tv reporters grilling Pres. GWBush to confront Pres. GWbush if his "Bush $300 Rebate" was really GWBUsh's idea——IMMEDIATELY CAUSING PRES. GWBUSH IMMENSED EMBARRASSMENT, WHERE PRES. GWBUSH SHEEPISHLY STARED DOWNWARDS, SLOWLY MOVING HIS HEAD BACK AND FORTH LEFT THEN RIGHT THEN LEFT THEN RIGHT THEN LEFT WHILE UTTERING IN ALMOST A SILENT VOICE THIS SIMPLE ANSWER WITH SO MANY UNNECESSARY PAUSES, " It doesn't matter if it is democrat or republican. What matters is that it is american" Then GWBUSH without any pause, immediately shifted topic TO ESCAPE. BUT HE COULD NOT BECAUSE HE KNEW THE AUDIENCE KNEW THAT THIS $300 REBATE WAS NOT HIS IDEA BECAUSE HE ONLY PIRATED THIS SOLUTION FROM NIVLOCSUNDAY aka Solved Clinton IRSProblem WHO ANSWERED PRESIDENT CLINTON"S QUESTION ON THE CRAIG ANDERSON RADIO SHOW — IN THE HOMETOWN OF GWBUSH AND LAURA BUSH IN MIDLAND TEXAS WITH "GOVERNMENT CAN COLLECT TAXES WITHOUT A COLLECTOR BY SIMPLY PRINTING ANY AMOUNT, THEN GIVING EVERYOINE, SAY, 300 DOLLARS EACH!!!!"
THE PROBLEM IN THENEXT 2 DECADES IS FOR AMERICA TO KEEP ITS WORD SPELLED OUT IN US CONSTITUTION 5th AMENDMENT which says, "GOVERNMENT MUST JUSTLY COMPENSATE WHEN PRIVATE PROPERTY IS USED" because IT IS MOST MOST MOST UNFAIR WHEN GOVERNMENT USES BY PRIVATE PROPERTY INVENTION/SOLUTION TO PRINT AS OF TODAY SOMETHING LIKE $12 TRILLION ALREADY, $12,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO —- YET STILL IS NOT GIVING ME A SINGLE CENT OF THE JUST COMPENSATION PROMISED ME BY US CONSTITUTION 5TH AMENDMENT.
You or/and somebody else said that what's needed is a new form of taxation. WELL, MY ANSWER TO THE CLINTON QUESTION WAS/IS A NEW FORM OF TAXATION. GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN USING MY INVENTION, FOR MANY YEARS NOW STARTING WITH THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION. AND NOW IT IS THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AND BERNANKE USING MY INVENTON PRIVATE PROPERTY "TAX COLLECTION SYSTEM"!!!!
ITY IS GOVERNMENT'S MISUSE AND ABUSE OF MY private property SOLUTION THAT GENERATED THESE NEW TRILLIONS IN DOLLARS, AND THEIR MISUSE/ABUSE OF MY SOLUTION THAT DIVERTED THESE TRILLIONS INTO THE POCKETS OF THESE TOPMOST 1% —- INSTEAD OF USING MY private property SOLUTION, TAX COLLECTION PROCESS TO PUT 1OO% OF THE WORKFORCE TO EMPLOYMENT IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL RESERVES POLICY WHICH WARNED WARNED WARNED AND WARN WARNS WARNS NEVER TO EXCEED 95% EMPLOYMENT —- WHICH IS THE TRUE CAUSE WHY TODAY THE US AND THE WORLD HAVE SO MANY WORKERS UNEMPLOYED AND UNEMPLOYABLES, SO MANY PEOPLE COMMITTING THIEVERIES AND PROSTITUTIONS JUST TO EARN A LIVING BECAUSE THE FEDERAL RESERVES AND CENTRAL BANKS OF THE WORLD ARE PREVENTING THESE BOTTOMMOST WORKERS FROM BEING EMPLOYED!!!! YES, WHAT THESE CENTRAL BANKS AND FEDERAL RESERVES ARE DOING TO THESE BOTTOMMOST WOIRKERS AND THEIR DEPENDENT WIVES AND CHILDREN IS A —— C R I M E . A G A I N S T . H U M A N I T Y !!!!
From my perspective, the productivity gains have disproportionately benefited the top executives and suppliers of financial capital only in the more developed and capitalistic nations. In the U.S., companies have become very – even hyper – specialized in what they do allowing them to offer their products to customers on-demand. These products are integrated into their client's business processes primarily through information technology. In contrast, many European – continental European – companies still like to keep most processes in-house. And, the further away from the economic center you go the more this is the case.
By my analysis, this evolution is the result of business creating legislation in each country. That is, the ease with which an entrepreneur can register and manage a legal entity. This includes not only company formation, registration, but capital requirements, access to capital, taxation, administrative red tape, social contributions, and so on. In the U.S. – and like-minded countries – where it is easy to create a company there are the highest productivity gains. In many European countries we see a net decline and so and so forth.
To substantiate this perspective, one only need see the results of austerity policies on economies where company formation is inhibited and the percentage of the population is unemployed. The process of creative destruction needs to be fully functioning in order to absorb all the jobs shed through labor market reforms. Many European countries have preferred high employment and wealth redistribution through taxation rather than allow more domestic competition thus preserving the interests of the status quo economic players and their political brethren. Thus, maintaining the appearance of a more equitable income distribution.
So, yes, productivity gains should benefit also the U.S. wage-earner but how to do that without an adverse impact on the process of creative destruction and the rags-to-riches myth so fundamental to the American Dream?

Old Man Gloom is a sludge/doom metal/post-metal band originally formed in Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States, but now based in Massachusetts. The group, formed by Aaron Turner of Isis and Santos Montano, has now expanded to become a sort of supergroup in the Boston hardcore and metalcore scene. The group is less a band than it is a recording project for a variety of talent. By the release of their first album (Meditations in B), Old Man Gloom expanded to include two new members.
In 2001, a year after the release of Meditations in B, the band released two albums simultaneously: Seminar II and Seminar III. For these records, Luke Scarola joined to use electronics. On Seminar II, Stephen Brodsky of Cave In wrote the lyrics for one song, and Jay Randall of Agoraphobic Nosebleed contributed on electronics. On August 24, 2004, Christmas was released. In 2011, Old Man Gloom recorded NO with Kurt Ballou and released the album on June 26, 2012. In 2012, Old Man Gloom began playing live performances again, after an extended period of inactivity. In August 2014 new album The Ape Of God was announced with its release date on November 11, 2014. Documentary Here is a Gift for You directed by Kenneth Thomas would be released sometime in the fall aswell. [1] On September 8, 2014 album's cover artwork was posted on the band's Facebook page, on September 11 song The Lash became available online as new record preview.

Yes, chocolate malt.
I know it just wouldn't be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet, but do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course?
Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid.

chocolate 8oz
Tettnang 2.5oz 60 min
Hallertau 1.75oz 60 min
Tettnang 1.5oz 10 min
IBU 36 (higher than I wanted but tastes fine to me)
I'll do a side by side soon and again in a month or so to see how it ages.
Looks pretty close to the original.
As you may have guessed, the one on the left is the original.
My increase in chocolate is noticeable in color and taste, but I like it. I'll definitely brew this again and I may play with the chocolate to see if I can reduce the flavor a bit but keep it slightly darker.

Insect that destroys ash trees discovered in NH
The action plan calls for everything from inspections of all ash trees within a 4-square-mile block and quarantines of ash trees, ash wood products, and firewood produced in Merrimack County, said Brad Simpkins, New Hampshire state forester.
State law allows officials to access private property to test for the insect, and the state can even remove infected trees in designated control areas, Simpkins said.
But at this point, officials are asking Concord residents to look for ash trees with stripped bark or heavy woodpecker activity, a sign that the tree is infected with the insect. Scientists are working on biological control measures, such as predator wasps, to attack the borer, a member of the beetle family of insects, Simpkins said.
"We knew emerald ash borer would get to us eventually," Simpkins said. "What we're trying to do is slow the spread and allow technology and science to catch up to it."
On March 27, a citizen noticed the woodpecker activity on the 75-foot ash, and samples were taken. The emerald ash borer larvae was confirmed last week, Simpkins said. The tree was standing Monday but will be cut down within two days, he said.
Ash trees susceptible to the insect include the white ash, green ash and black-brown ash. The mountain ash is a different genus and not susceptible to the insect.
Simpkins said inspections will take place of every ash tree within the 4-mile square. A grid of 64 blocks has been drawn up, and two ash trees in every block will be sampled.
It should take about 1½ months to realize the spread of the insect. The adults can take flight beginning in May, Simpkins said.
Simpkins said the out-of-state firewood ban, which went into effect in 2011, was to prevent the spread of the insect.
As of Monday, an emergency quarantine went into effect when it comes to ash products in Merrimack County, as well as any hardwood firewood in Merrimack County. It includes ash nursery stock and ash lumber.
Simpkins noted that the quarantine involves state and federal agencies, and a violation can result in civil and criminal penalties.
Ash trees are not prevalent in the state; they comprise an estimated 1 percent of milled hardwood and saw logs in the state, and 6 percent of all hardwoods. They grow near water and wetlands, and they are favored in cities for their height and shade, he said.
Many were planted to replace elm trees lost to Dutch elm disease, Simpkins said.
He said landowners can hire a professional to apply insecticide to high-value ash trees.

Bitcoin Trader's demise shows need for regulation
Here are 6 things that can derail your plan
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
After two decades of massive growth, the ETF industry's
momentum may just be starting, PwC asserts. The market research
firm forecasts the industry's assets under management will
explode to $5 trillion from $1.7 trillion now in the next three
to five years.
Bill Donahue, managing director at PwC, explains major trends
shaping the industry's growth and its inevitable growing pains
noted in the firm's report, "The Next Generation of ETFs."
To what do you attribute the widespread growth of ETFs?
ETFs are attractive to individuals, intermediaries and
institutional investors alike because of their key
characteristics: liquidity, transparency, low cost, tax
efficiency and intraday pricing.
Additionally, passively managed ETFs were well-suited for the
increased scrutiny of costs and more widespread acceptance of
indexing as a philosophy over the past few years. ETFs helped
meet the demand for many investors for greater liquidity and
transparency in the aftermath of the financial crisis.
The migration of U.S.-based investment advice toward a
fee-based model has worked in the favor of ETFs, which provided
investment advisers with a convenient and effective means of
constructing customized client portfolios across a liquid and
diverse series of asset classes.
ETFs offer a convenient way to adjust portfolio exposure on
many fronts, including geography, market capitalization, industry
sectors, credit quality and duration.
Over the past few years, there has also been significant
product innovation for ETFs, with expansion into fixed income,
commodity and balanced-asset classes, which have been very well
received by investors. The recent introduction of ETF strategists
who research, design and manage portfolios of ETFs has created
expanded ETF offerings and contributed to the growth of ETFs.
Many ETF sponsors have expended significant efforts on
investor education over the past few years, which have helped to
generate further interest in their products. A number of online
brokerages over the past few years started offering low-cost or
commission-free trading, making it easier and less expensive to
trade ETFs.
How did you come up with your forecast that ETF assets will grow
to $5 trillion in the next three to five years?
Global ETF assets under management total about $2.4 trillion
currently. There are significant growth opportunities in a number
of different areas over the next few years:
1. Move away from commissions on a global basis toward
asset-based compensation, resulting in investment advisers
focusing more on asset allocation rather than security selection,
which should favor ETFs.
2. Opportunities for ETFs in the defined contribution
3. Expanded opportunities for ETFs in Hong Kong and China once
they have worked through a mutual recognition platform.
4. Further expansion of the U.S. active ETF market.
5. Expanded use of ETFs by both institutional and retail
What inevitable growing pains will the industry face?
As ETFs continue to grow, the current infrastructure and risk
oversight mechanisms will be tested. While the mutual fund
industry relies on an infrastructure that has proved resilient in
a range of market and economic challenges, the ETF infrastructure
is relatively new and is just now being tested with significant
assets, both in the U.S. and globally.
While ETFs have been around for more than 20 years, there
continues to be a lack of technical understanding of how they
work and how they can be used as a part of an investment
strategy. ETF sponsors will need to continue to focus on investor
education, including thought leadership and content marketing to
further the understanding of the technical details related to
their ETF lineup.
What are the regulatory challenges ahead?
ETFs have been extensively scrutinized by regulators for many
years. While there has been some recent easing around the use of
derivatives and self-indexing recently in the U.S., there
continue to be regulatory challenges of one kind or another in
almost every market around the world.
U.S. active ETFs have been around for a little more five years
and have reached approximately $16 billion AUM (assets under
management). The requirement to provide daily transparency of the
active ETF portfolio holdings is likely affecting the development
of active ETFs.
The SEC is also focusing on new and emerging risks for
1. The growing use of alternative and hedge fund
2. Whether boards, compliance personnel and back-office
functions are appropriately staffed and financed to cope with
these strategies.
3. Compliance with exemptive relief orders and the use of
custom baskets and compliance with regulations when
ETFs in Europe and Asia trade and settle on a national basis.
The resulting inefficiencies increase the cost of ETFs.
However, in both Europe and Asia, recent developments may
potentially reduce trading frictions and improve liquidity and
reduce the costs of trading ETFs.
Hong Kong and China regulators continue to work on the details
for a mutual recognition platform for public funds to be sold
directly in each market.
These two jurisdictions have different trust laws, fund
distribution regulations and post-sale servicing practices, which
have to be aligned prior to the launch of the mutual recognition
What do you see as the biggest trends shaping the industry?
1. Continued expansion of the ETF strategists.
2. More focus on solutions-oriented ETFs, including fixed
income and active funds.
3. Upcoming regulatory and policy changes likely boosting the
distribution of ETFs in Europe and Asia.
4. Significant growth for active ETFs.
5. Continued focus on investor education and distribution
6. Global expansion of ETF sponsors in pursuit of growth and

Doctor Sleep Review
Title: Doctor Sleep
Author: Stephen King
Price: $30.00 ($16.50-Amazon)
Rating: 4 out of 5/ Double Agent
Doctor Sleep came about as most sequels do these days... through the power of fans using social media. In 2009 Stephen King had an idea for two new novels and turned to fans to see which one they would be most interested in. One was a new Dark Tower novel, while the other was a sequel to the classic book The Shinning. A war broke out between fans almost immediately and it was decided that the only fair option was to vote on which book King would work on next. After over a month of debating and some questionable tactics on both sides, Doctor Sleep won with 5,861 votes. It was an extremely tight election with Doctor Sleep winning only 49 more votes than The Dark Tower. However lovers of The Dark Tower need not to be disappointed. Stephen King ended up deciding to write both sequels and The Dark Tower: The Wind Through The Keyhole can be purchased almost anywhere books are sold.
Doctor Sleep picks up the story of Danny (now Dan) 30 years after the events in The Shinning. Dan's physiological trauma caused by the Overlook Hotel, continues to affect him into adult hood. He, like his father, is driven to a life of alcoholism. After hitting rock bottom Dan begins to heal while working in a hospice, where his shinning is able to help others move from one world to the next. No longer supressed by the effects of alchol, Danny's powers continues to grow in strength and he begins to come in phsycic contact with another child who's shinning is quickly growing out of control. Unfortunatly less friendly beings have begun to notice the child as well...
The largest problem I had with this book may well be my own fault. I was so excited for the release of Doctor Sleep that I read The Shinning immediatly beforehand. With the original book so fresh in my memory I dove into Doctor Sleep with the uncounsious expectation that the same author I had just read had also penned the newest installment. I realized quickly how impossible of an expectation that was. It's unfair to want or believe that Stephen King is the same man he was in 1977. His writing has evolved into something new, and everything from his narriation style to his writing voice is subtly different. What this essentially means is that, while the story is the same, the books are fundementaly different at a core level. The Shinning was a novel that fell neatly into a horror catagory. While moments in Doctor Sleep may be scary the book itself is a thriller. It is in this fact that my greatest dissapointments manifest. I wanted a horror novel, just as scary as the original, to haunt my dreams as the original did years ago. Doctor Sleep fails to deliver this kind of experience and I personally was not quite able to get over that fact.
The Good news is that the story of Danny's adventures in adulthood are still exciting. Stephen King was as creative as ever developing the monsters found within these pages. Some come from other worlds but my favorites are the ones that come from within the average man. The story itself is full of unexpected turns and misleading clues to keep you from predicting events. By far the most impressive thing about this book is how the characters sound exactly the same in their narration as they did over 3 decades ago. Stephen King proved that he is still as intamatly familiar with his creations in the way they think and talk as when he created them. If you found yourself scared and cheering by the side of the original cast you will still feel that level of attatchment in the new novel.
To sum up Doctor Sleep is a great story, it just isn't a scary one. Simply keep that in mind as you step between the bindings and you should have a good time. It should be interesting to watch how accountable the fans hold King for changing his classic formula, but I for one can't hold it against him as long as his books continue to be filled with new ideas.

Allegiant Review (Divergent Series #3)
Title: Allegiant
Author: Veronica Roth
Price: $19.99 ($11.29-Amazon)
Rating: 2 out of 5/ The Mole
I've been pretty excited to write this review ever since I became aware of all the drama surrounding it. I have never been the biggest fan of the Divergent series but even I'll admit it's a pretty decent story idea. When this last installment premiered it immediately caused an uproar on the blog circuits. Teenage girls everywhere began boycotting the book, and its review on Amazon was dismal until a fans started coming to its defense and a war of almost 8000 comments broke out over review posts. One of my favorite pastimes has always been watching teenagers lose their minds over anything so, as you can imagine, this finale in particular has been very enjoyable. I will attempt to give an overview of the story and a comprehensive review without giving away any spoilers but it may not be completely possible. The best path of action is to read the book for yourself and come back to see if our opinions line up but if not than read on at your own risk.
Tris and Tobias have helped to topple one tyrant only to find a new one has taken the throne. With the factions in chaos and the faction-less taking over, their choices of action are dwindling. In a last ditch effort for real freedom they have decided to be smuggled outside the fence and to start again in the unknown. But destiny isn't ready to let them leave and the truths they find outside the walls and within each other will shatter both worlds.
First lets address the biggest flaw found in the book, the duel perspective dialog. I checked in with some other readers to see if they were struggling with it as much as I was. What I found was a consensus that there was no way other than the chapter headline to tell from which character perspective you are reading. Tris and Tobias sound, think, and talk exactly in the same manner. This is not only confusing but incredibly boring as well, and many times I found myself double checking the beginning of the chapter to make sure I knew who was talking (most times I guessed wrong). To make matters worse the personalities of the two main characters undergo a drastic unexplained change, and many times their thoughts and actions are unrecognizable. When you combine all this with the epicly disappointing big reveal of what lies beyond the fence, the book becomes a struggle to complete.
Ok 14 year olds get your angry emails ready because my favorite part of this book was... the ending. I'm not trying to be cynical or sarcastic or simply bashing the book more. It's just that I wasn't really engaged or paying attention until Veronica Roth deviated from the standard YA formula. When I came to the ending I was forced to sit up, pay attention and really think about what was happening. As undesired as the ending was, it is an ending that I will remember long after I forget hundreds more. Hopefully this story will make young readers stop and think about what they have read, and I believe that this is one of the greatest achievements a book can claim. I'm sure with a movie deal in the works, Veronica Roth was pressured to change her story to fit a more financially advantageous ending. I highly respect that she didn't cave from what she truly believed her characters would do and how she wanted to tell her story.
It's disappointing that the momentum built up from Divergent and Insurgent derailed and crashed so badly in Allegiant. The confusing dialog and the strange unfamiliar way the characters seemed to act caused Allegiant to be the worst installment of the series with a score of 2. If you have read the first two books than I suggest that you go ahead and finish the series. Just don't let the fans make you feel guilty if you decided to pass it by.

Ambush Review (Pillage Trilogy)
Title: Ambush
Author: Obert Skye
Price: $17.99 ($14.85-Amazon)
Rating: 3 out of 5/The Mole
So we have come to the conclusion of Obert Skye's Pillage trilogy. It is true that while this book had a similar feel to his runaway success series Leven Thumps, Pillage stood out on its own as a very different type of story. Reality was reigned in to be... well much more real, and the story had less of a dream like quality to it. This being said don't expect to much normality from the man whose imagination is often a hilarious acid trip. Plants beat up angsty teenagers, dragons try to eat everyone, and adults keep coming up with hilarious explanations for obviously crazy situations. It's a book that always deserves being read out load and one that parents and children should find equally entertaining.
Beck Phillips has released many dragons on his poor unsuspecting town but he has finally sworn off egg planting for good. Unfortunately as the town tries to rebuild Beck seems to be under constant attack... from plants. Ambushed at every conceivable location he can't seem to escape his curse and the tab of his destructive escapes keeps on rising. To make matters even worse his father seems to have finally cracked and gone crazy. A fate Beck will share if he can't find a way to destroy the final dragon eggs. Beck thinks he may be able to destroy them... just as soon as he plants them to make sure they're defiantly the right eggs. You can never be too careful right?
The biggest complaint that I have with this book, and honestly the entire series, is the repeating of the plot. In each book Beck tries to resist the pull of evil, plants an egg, and destroys his town. The details may be different but the same sequence of events is always the same. This makes everything a bit predictable, especially for the older and more skilled readers. Another complaint, although very slight, is the intelligence of every person who is not a main character. I fully understand that the idiocy of the population of the town is a running joke within the series. It's just that these adults don't seem to even be able to achieve basic logic during most of the story. However, like I said, It's such a small complaint that you shouldn't let it deter you from reading the book.
Like all of Obert Skye's novels the dialog stands out as spectacular. It's a book that was written to be read out load and the experience is simply not the same without sharing it with someone. Every conversation is hilarious and every line refreshingly unexpected. I've always been overjoyed whenever some path of dialog went in a completely unexpected direction and these conversations bring up memories of favorites like The Princess Bride and A Series of Unfortunate Events. Possibly my favorite thing about this absurd adventure is its innocent absurdity. There is really nothing else like it in children's literature right now and as silly as the adventure is Im glad to have a break from the paranormal and apocalypses.
Ambush is a fun and silly tale, even more so when you start saying some of the lines out loud. Even though the story similarities of books in the trilogy caused this installment to slip to a 3 out of 5 you shouldn't let that deter you from an enjoyable and easy read. Or even better, grab yourself an audio version and have a fun car ride with the kids.

Ender's Drinking Game Christmas 2013!!!!!!
So maybe Ender's Game could have been better in theaters... and perhaps the non-Ender child actors could have stepped up and stopped acting like they were in a Disney Sitcom. But what do you expect from an adult book turned into a children's movie? Since us Ender lovers have to take what we get at this point we have created a drinking game to help ease you into the dvd release of Ender's Game!
1) Every time Ender gets picked on take a drink
2) Every time Harrison Ford is in a scene take a drink
3) Every time Ender wins a battle take a drink
4) Every time a child actor says some terrible cliche line take a drink
5) Every time you see an army symbol take a drink
6) Every time you hear the word bugger take a drink
7) Every time someone say's Enders name take a drink
8) Every time Ender cries take a drink. (puking counts as an extra bonus drink)
9) Every time Colonel Graff is clearly just messing with Ender's head take a drink
10) Every time Ender yells take a drink

Hunger Games Drinking Game Thanksgiving 2013!!!!!
|Exhibit 1
Hey Gang its Thanksgiving again and that means it's the one year anniversary of our "BOOKS THAT WE LOVE TURNED INTO MEDIOCRE MOVIES DRINKING GAME." This is an exciting time for us here at the office as we celebrate our first year of operation, and with the exception of our livers we don't think it could have been better. After much debate we couldn't think of a more appropriate way to celebrate a holiday of gorging except to take a page from the Capitol's book and drink while watching angsty teenagers kill each other. So gear up, sit down, and push play for this special edition drinking game, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
1) Every time the signature mockingjay pin is spotted take a drink.
2) Every time Katniss hits her target with an arrow take a drink.
3) Every time a tribute is killed take a drink.
4) Every time Haymitch takes a drink he better not be taking it alone.
5) Every time Katniss kisses a boy take a drink.
6) Every time Katniss gives "The Look" take a drink from intimidation. (If you don't know what The Look is scroll up and examine exhibit 1).
7) Every time the Capital theme music or propaganda is played take a drink.
8) Every time Effie Trinket says something totally inappropriate take a drink. (So pretty much whenever she talks)
9) Every time Haymitch stumbles or falls or pukes take a drink.
10) Every time the Capital throws something new and totally twisted at the tributes take 2 drinks!!!!!!
If you love our drinking games let us know! We are always looking for new films and rules for our games plus input from people who have played them and think they need to be tweaked. We test out all games but our bodies can only handle so much. So keep us updated with posts so we can continue to deliver the best bad decisions for fun nights in.

Beyonders #3 Chasing the Prophecy
Title: Chasing The Prophecy (Beyonders #3)
Author: Brandon Mull
Price: $19.99 ($14.78-Amazon)
Rating: 3 out of 5/ The Mole
It's a fairly well known fact that children's books are not very realistic. Most of the time a few lucky kids are plucked from their boring lives and have grand, friendly adventures before they are dumped back home with riches and stories. The parents (who are always stupid in one way or another) are never the wiser about the fact their children have gone missing or that they spend their time running around smacking things with swords. There's always that cliche happy ending, and all those inconvenient loose ends simply disappear or are tied up nicely. Thankfully Brandon Mull has decided to take a refreshingly different approach in his newest adventure. The kids go missing, the parents panic, and in each world not everyone has a happy ending. Sacrifice is the most prominent theme in Beyonders, and this honest approach to cause and effect will make children think twice about wishing for adventure.
After years of running, beyonders Rachel and Jason have discovered the long sought prophecy to save the world of Lyrian. Now they must each lead half of the surviving rebels in opposite directions to stop the tyrant Maldor. Unfortunately, the fact that each of their missions is knowingly suicidal isn't helping to inspire confidence. Now they must decide to trust fate or their own instincts as they chase fairy tales and rumors to find the artifacts that will keep a world from an era in darkness. Success means a ticket back home while death would be a kindness compared to the treatment they will receive if they fail.
The weaknesses found in this book are unusual for Brandon Mull. This is an author who's greatest strength lies in the development of memorable and unusual characters. It stand out even more then, that the characters in this novel are so badly developed. The characters, which are a little too plentiful, get lost in one another with their difficult names and similar attitudes. With the exception of the two main children, the other characters are bland and seem to only exist for the support of the children's roles. When characters begin to die, their deaths have little to no impact on the reader. Since there are so many dramatic death scenes in the book they become simply a pattern of chapter endings instead of having the emotional impact the author intended.
My favorite part of this book, as well as the series, is the unapologetic reality of the story. The decisions that the children make throughout their adventures have real impact and gravity. The characters make some terrible choices and mistakes, which have consequence on the people they care about. As you read the book it becomes clear that not everyone is going to have a happy ending, nor will everyone get what they want. Sacrifice is a common theme and the children are often asked to sacrifice things they treasure for the sake of the larger picture. This theme continues all the way to the finale of the series and it gives the reader an ending that is not entirely happy but still satisfying.
As a series Beyonders is a solid trilogy but it is far from the best on the market right now. Younger children might enjoy it but adults that have a love for children's books will find it lacking. It seemed that Brandon Mull was playing it safe this time. So I hope that his next series will be the risky, fantastic, and imaginative writing that we are used too.

The Shining Drinking Game Halloween 2013!!!
This Halloween the world was blessed by The King himself! Stephen King bestowed upon us a new novel titled Doctor Sleep. This unexpected book turned out to be a surprise sequel to the contemporary horror classic The Shining. To celebrate this new release and the holiday that accompanies it, The Office has carefully constructed a drinking game for your party tonight. Simply put on The Shining, grab a beer, and follow our rules. The Office would also like to remind you not to travel alone tonight... you never know what could be lurking behind the bushes.
1) If at any time you realize you're holding your breath take a drink
2) If Danny talks to his finger or Danny's finger talks take a drink
3) If a ghost appears take a drink
4) Every time room 237 make an appearance take a drink
5) Whenever Jack is at his typewriter take a drink
6) Whenever Jack breaks something take a drink
7) Every time one of the great quotes of the movie is said take a drink (This includes Redrum, Here's Johnny,
All work and no play make Jack a dull boy, the shining , etc.)
8) Whenever you spot blood take a drink (we chugged during the elevator scene but if your sane you won't do that)
9) Whenever someone dies take a drink
10) This is the most important rule! If you are able to yell BOO and get someone to jump while they are watching the movie they must take a drink

ABC Local Radio Sydney…
US News & World Report…
These contests might lack the drama of a presidential election — and there are plenty of signs of voter apathy in this cycle — but they make up for it with their diversity, collectively addressing some of the most important and analytically compelling questions in electoral politics.
In the last few months, Republicans have maintained small leads in some of their target races. Meanwhile, Democrats have failed to generate any likely takeovers of their own, with the party's chances in Kentucky, Kansas, South Dakota and Georgia failing at least so far to turn any of those seats around.
The Senate will not look like the country. There are currently eighty male senators. Women, who make up fifty-one per cent of the population, hold just twenty per cent of Senate seats.

Consider Your Underwear
Byon June 20, 2014
It can sometimes seem hard to justify spending a lot of money on a pair of underwear, if only because, with few exceptions, you dont get many opportunities to show them off. Those fitted selvage jeans and the finely polished double-monks, the overpriced Oxford shirt and the tailored sportcoat: spend away, certainly, because they pay for themselves every day in double-takes and compliments. Dressing well means looking good, and looking good must mean people can see how youre dressed. But underwear? Those things, down there, that you and, depending on your prolificacy, only a few other people see day to day? Theyre utilitarian. Lets be reasonable: theres no reason to get too fancy.
Except heres the thing: your pair of underwear, in all its private-life simplicity, is the closest thing to your most sensitive areas, and it puts in a lot of hard work on your behalf. You may not need a flashy pair of briefs to go peacocking down male-model runways. But have you considered comfort? The right pair of underwearthe ones that fit well, that feel good, that feel like they were designed with intelligence and care and all the things youd expect of the rest of your wardrobeare worth a hefty price tag, and youll realize it the second you put some on and go about your daily routine.
Enter the visionaries at Tommy John, a company that prides itself on redefining underwear. The first thing youll notice, if youre anything like me, is that the price tag is quite a bit heftier than the $5 you might spend at Searsthese average about $30 a pop for most styles, and a full laundry cycles rotation is going to set you back. But the second thing youll notice is where that money is pretty obviously going. The Tommy Johns Second Skin line of trunks and briefs are made of an ultra-lightweight, incredibly smooth fabric that stretches and breathes beautifully. They look sleek and flattering, but unlike a lot of expensive designer underwear, they dont feel nearly as tight or constricting as they seem like they ought to.
Tommy Johns marketing materials include a lot of jargon about contour pouches and Stay Dry technology, but the practical upshot is that the stuff feels micro-engineered to keep everything in place without suffocating your private parts. Best of all is a feature so ingenious it seems ridiculous that it isnt ubiquitous: the underwear has a built in fly that unfolds horizontally rather than vertically, which makes access both faster and less awkward. Its a simple thing, but its liable to totally change your bathroom game. Tommy Johns founder describes his goal as providing fresh solutions to age-old apparel problems, and this fits the bill. But Id go one step further: its a fresh solution to a problem most of us didnt even know we had. Who knew underwear could even have a special feature?
