The Most Rev. Edward U. Kmiec, Bishop of Buffalo, today announced a $10.5 million goal for the 2011 Appeal in support of Catholic Charities of Buffalo.
The theme of this year's Appeal is again, "Whoever. Wherever. Whenever." because Catholic Charities is always there, providing help for people of all faiths and walks of life when they need it most.
Appeal Week 2011 will take place April 10-17, though the Appeal will continue through the end of the fiscal year (June 30). Appeal Week will celebrate the support of Western New Yorkers who have made a contribution to the Appeal, and encourage those who have not already donated to do so.
Bishop Kmiec made the announcement from the Lackawanna Food Pantry at 75 Caldwell Place—one of four food pantries Catholic Charities of Buffalo operates. In 2010, these food pantries provided enough bags of food for
213,717 meals to nearly 23,000 individuals.
Bishop Kmiec remarked on the fragility of our nation's economy and the loss government funding for some of Catholic Charities' services, but expressed optimism for the Appeal's success.
"We remain in the midst of a deep economic down turn. Recovery at the national level, fragile at best, is virtually non-existent locally.
According to U.S. Census figures, Buffalois now the third-poorest city in the nation," said Bishop Kmiec. "Despite the challenges we face, I am inspired by the incredible commitment of the Appeal leadership team and our many supporters. I have found in our diocese a marvelous and extraordinary spirit of giving and service to others."
The Bishop was joined by Sister Mary McCarrick, OSF, diocesan director of Catholic Charities, who introduced Greg Maher as chairperson of the
2011 Appeal and recognized the other members of the Appeal leadership team and volunteers.
Appeal Chair Greg Maher praised the immense generosity of Western New Yorkers through the last few years of tough economic conditions. He also stressed the importance of both individual and corporate donations to the Appeal, citing that one in 10 Western New Yorkers receives assistance from Catholic Charities.
"Last year Catholic Charities donations nationwide were down 10 percent.
In Buffalo, we missed the 2009 mark by only one-half of one percent,"
said Maher. "As another show of the community of good neighbors, corporate donations last year actually increased by more than two percent."
"This year we again appeal to both individuals and our strong corporate base to continue their support of the Catholic Charities and help spread the word about what Catholic Charities offers nearly 160,000 Western New Yorkers each year," he continued.
Other members of the leadership team include David Nasca, vice chair, Stephen Ulrich, parish and large gifts chair and Anthony Delmonte, corporate gifts chair.
Sister Mary McCarrick outlined some of Catholic Charities' more than 70 programs and services, including its job readiness programs for teens, childhood educational programs focused onbehavior and homebound-senior visitation services.
"It has been one year since I began in this role and I can tell you emphatically that the work being done in our 61 offices and 70 programs is a work of mercy," Sister Mary said. "I know this because wherever and whenever I go – in the airport, in one of our offices or in a store someone approaches me to share the positive impact of Catholic Charities' work. I've met mothers grateful for healing therapy for their children, a judge extolling the virtues of our staff in helping families and children, and someone thankful for the hand that pulled them up in a crisis."
Dennis C. Walczyk, Catholic Charities chief executive officer, talked about the need that is seen at the Lackawanna Food Pantry site and the other food pantries Catholic Charities offers.
Walczyk said, "Sister Peg Gallagher, coordinator of the Lackawanna Pantry, and Larry Burns, coordinator of the South Buffalo Pantry, and their dedicated volunteers who serve twice a week for each pantry have seen and heard firsthand the struggles of our clients. Many who come here may be out of work for extended periods of time and many other individuals struggle financially in low-paying jobs."
He continued, "The staff and volunteers of all of Catholic Charities'
four food pantries, including the Fulton Street- St. Brigid Pantry, can attest to the growing need of our food recipients – in 2010 the four food pantries distributed bags of food to provide 213,717 meals to 23,000 individuals. And last month alone, the Lackawanna and South Buffalo pantries distributed 14,304 pounds of food to 578 households.
Catholic Charities is the most comprehensive direct human service provider serving all eight counties of Western New York, with 70 programs and 61 locations. Founded in 1923, Catholic Charities also provides, without regard to religious affiliation, comprehensive counseling services for children and families, anti-domestic violence programming and emergency services, among other social and mental health services.
The 2011 Appeal is under the patronage of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.

Baru has written that Singh was "defanged" by the Congress in his second term with Sonia Gandhi deciding on key appointments to the Cabinet and to the PMO, as he seemed to "surrender" to her and to the allies.

Nicky Diamonds Officially Unveils the Diamond Supply Co. x Nike SB Dunk High
January 20th, 2014 by Aaron Hope | 27 comments
Is there a single most significant Nike SB Dunk release? You'll get any number of fans suggesting their personal favorite is the GOAT, but no one would argue that there's an upper echelon to which any new releases would aspire. Many of these are collaborations with influential folks including the core skate brands and stores that really make skateboarding what it is. Diamond Supply Co. is both, and their Nike SB Dunk High is a sequel to one of those pairs of SBs that is universally regarded as one of the very best. Stretching up the ankle with the higher silhouette, there's even more of the Aqua/Chrome/black croc goodness this time around; let us know how you're feeling about the drop coming up on February 8th.

'Created Equal?': 2014 IAAS Annual Conference
Please click here more information on the IAAS Annual Conference.
Call For Papers
2014 IAAS Annual Conference:
"Created Equal?"
National University of Ireland, Galway, 25 & 26 April, 2014
Keynote speaker: Professor Robert Strong of Washington and Lee University
On the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the IAAS 2014 Annual Conference will investigate the notion of 'equality' in the American context.
The belief that "all men are created equal" was proclaimed self-evident in the Declaration of Independence. The phrase has been repeated and critiqued in the theatre of United States politics from Abraham Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address, Martin Luther King Jr. in his "I have a Dream" speech and Elizabeth Cady Stanton in the 1848 Declaration of Rights and Sentiments. The historic struggle for equal rights in various forms belies the motto, and highlights America's complicated relationship with 'equality'.
Enacted on July 2nd, 1964, the Civil Rights Act "prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin." The reality of a non-discriminatory society on these and other issues continues to be sought and fought on several fronts, as successive movements have challenged inequality in American society. Most recently, in June 2013, two key Supreme Court decisions highlighted the evolution of such movements: the defeat of the 1996 Defence of Marriage Act sparked widespread celebration among equal-rights groups, yet just one day earlier the same court voted to overturn Section 4 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, thereby removing restrictions on nine southern states with a history of discriminatory practice in voting procedure. A Texas State Attorney immediately responded by declaring that Voter ID laws—laws which have historically been used to limit voters of colour—would "take effect immediately."
At the IAAS Conference, 2014, we invite participants to explore America's strained relationship with the concept of equality and its impact on citizens of different race, religion, gender or origin. Possible topics may include, but are not limited to:
- Historic struggles for equality
- The Civil War
- The Civil Rights Movement
- Media representations: film and television
- Musical expressions of marginalised peoples
- American borders: North and South
- The concept of 'melting pot' America
- Literature, poetry, novels, film and theatre exploring issues of equality
- International relations
- The architecture of equality
A pdf of the cfp is available here.
Please submit abstracts via http://goo.gl/W8fro2 (case sensitive)
Please note the call for papers is now closed.
Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

Convicted Terrorist Relied On Single-Letter Cipher
timothy posted more than 2 years ago | from the was-the-letter-q? dept.254
Hugh Pickens writes "The Register reports that the majority of the communications between convicted terrorist Rajib Karim and Bangladeshi Islamic activists were encrypted with a system which used Excel transposition tables which they invented themselves. It used a single-letter substitution cipher invented by the ancient Greeks that had been used and described by Julius Caesar in 55BC. Despite urging by the Yemen-based al Qaida leader Anwar Al Anlaki, Karim rejected the use of a sophisticated code program called 'Mujhaddin Secrets' which implements all the AES candidate cyphers, 'because "kaffirs," or non-believers, know about it so it must be less secure.'"

Gotta love this guy for his tough Jersey attitude. No one can accuse him of being oblique. Governor Christie's got nothing on him!
The revolution itself may not be televised, but on last night's edition of the BBC's Newsnight, viewers may have witnessed the start of one.
No doubt, this video has circulated the internet and you've already seen or heard of it, but I can't get it out of my mind. I've always thought Russell Brand was brilliant and articulate, but in this particular case, his rant puts into words what anyone who has been paying attention over the past few years has been feeling: something is wrong with the way things are being run by the folks in charge of the planet and we can't keep going on like this if we hope to survive.
I won't go into the particulars because Brand states them so much better than I could with much fewer words. The trick is not to allow his words to move us towards despair but rather I think, contemplation and action. How must we act? Now that's the $40,000 question.

Another ticket pulled in TEB Challenger overrun
Darby Aviation is the latest to feel the wrath of the FAA in the wake of the Challenger runway overrun accident at Teterboro Airport (see page 58). On March 23 the agency ordered "the indefinite suspension" of the Muscle Shoals, Ala. charter operator's Part 135 certificate. The agency said in part that by "selling, assigning and/or leasing its air carrier certificate to Platinum [Jet Management] and relinquishing operational control
of flights purportedly conducted under its air carrier certificate to Platinum, Darby (dba AlphaJet) had abrogated its obligation to provide the highest degree of safety in the public interest."

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
10 Tips for a Thinner Thanksgiving
Slowly Savor
Eating slowly, putting your fork down between bites, and tasting each mouthful is one of the easiest ways to enjoy your meal and feel satisfied with one plate full of food, experts say. Choosing whole grains, fruits, vegetables, broth-based soups, salads, and other foods with lots of water and fiber add to the feeling of fullness.
Spread out the food and fun all day long. At the Finn family Thanksgiving gathering, they schedule dessert after a walk, while watching a movie together.
"We eat midday, and instead of another meal at dinnertime, we continue the feast with dessert a few hours after the main meal," Finn explains.
Go Easy on Alcohol
Don't forget those alcohol calories that can add up quickly.
"Have a glass of wine or a wine spritzer and between alcoholic drinks, (or) enjoy sparkling water," says Diekman. "this way you stay hydrated, limit alcohol calories, and stay sober."
Be Realistic
The holiday season is a time for celebration. With busy schedules and so many extra temptations, this is a good time to strive for weight maintenance instead of weight loss.
"Shift from a mindset of weight loss to weight maintenance," says Finn. "You will be ahead of the game if you can avoid gaining any weight over the holidays."
Focus on Family and Friends
Thanksgiving is not just about the delicious bounty of food. It's a time to celebrate relationships with family and friends.
"The main event should be family and friends socializing, spending quality time together, not just what is on the buffet," says Finn.

Burgers on The Edge
- KaimukiMan Jul 14, 2008 02:55 PM
This is the hamburger place at the "new" shopping center on Kapahulu (Safeway). A friend and I went on Sunday. The ordering is a bit confused, and having people right in front of the counter to explain it didn't actually help a lot, just congested things. You can order one of their "standard" burgers, or you can mix and match things including a turkey burger and a wagu beef burger ($$$).
We each got a "classic burger" with minor variations, we split an order of sweet potato fries, and we each got a medium soda.
The burgers were good. Very good. Nice and thick. I forgot to ask, but I guess they were 1/3 pound burgers. Of course in Honolulu all burgers are required to be cooked medium or more, mine was just barely medium... which is how I happen to like them. The bun was a nice size for the burger, and not too thick. It was a little bit "dry and crumbly" (not stale), while it tasted good it tended to disintegrate if you didn't handle it carefully. The toppings were fresh (lettuce, tomato). I asked for jalapeno ketchup on mine, I really couldn't taste the jalapeno, and they didn't use a whole lot.
The sweet potato fries were fantastic. After having them I can't for the life of me figure out why the chains waste their time with seasoned fries, curly fries, etc. These were moist, flavorful and crispy all at the same time. Just what I need... another form of carbohydrates to be hooked on (yes, i know sweet potatoes are full of nutrients....).
The price was a bit scary, for the two burgers, one fries, and two drinks the total came out to just over $25. Thats pretty steep even compared to Kua Aina or Teddy's. I'm sure I'll go back, but not as often as I would like.
I was wondering about this place. My son and I first noticed it on Saturday when we drove by at lunchtime heading home from Rainbow Drive In. It looked crowded with a line coming out the door. We both said we should try it one day, but $25 for two does sound a bit steep. Like you said, we may have to settle for Teddy's or Kua Aina for now, which is not too bad a choice.
Thanks for the report. I noticed this place the other day and was wondering how it was. I think I'll be heading over for some sweet potato fries.
I haven't tried it yet, but recognized an ad for it last time I was at Formaggio -- who opened the new place (see here: http://www.formaggio808.com/fwbmenu1.htm)
And if that's any guide, I would expect their burgers to be excellent, since the Wagyu burger at Formaggio is perhaps the best I've ever had.
Another place to watch out for is The Counter (right next to the new Whole Foods in Kahala Mall) which should be opening soon. The menu sounds pretty similar to Burgers on the Edge.
It'll be interesting to see how the locals will embrace the gourmet burger choices.
re: KaimukiMan
Ah for me, going to Kua Aina is a definite treat since I don't live in the islands any more. I don't even look at prices but just telling the girl behind the counter to give me "that one" with everything on. But I do know what you're saying about prices. $25 for two burgers and drinks is pretty steep comparing that to Burger King or McDonalds. Probably need to try this new place out the next time we're in town. Thanks for the report.
Thanks for the report. Have not seen this, but have gotten a lot of comments on the Safeway. Sounds good, and, while burgers (in Paradise) are not something that I normally think of, the review makes me think I'll change my mind on the next trip.
If it is of any consolation, I just paid US$19 for a burger at the Four Seasons, Carlsbad, CA, and it was nothing special - other than the price. Had to try it, and as we were staying on the property, and did not feel like getting the car out of valet and driving, were somewhat captive. Still, your's sounds better by far!
re: Bill Hunt
I wanted to try the "standard" burger, but if you are gonna be making such a special trip, i would imagine the wagu burger would be worth the extra $4. I may even break down and try it myself. Bad enough I'm hooked on the fries, if i get stuck on the $12 burger my budget is really gonna be shot, after all its only 3 blocks from home....sigh.
re: KaimukiMan
Mahalo for that tip. Lately, I've had several Kobe and Waygu burgers, by some top chefs, that left me wondering. Still, a real "cheeseburger in Paradise," would not be bad.
Next O`ahu trip, we WILL give it a go.
re: Bill Hunt
just avoid the "cheseburger in paradise" restaurants in waikiki..... outside of asia, probably the worst burgers I ever ate.
re: KaimukiMan
Yes, I do agree. We did a similar named place on Ala Moana, and were underwhelmed. Have done Cheesburger in Paradise on Maui, and I thought that I'd soon die. Never, never again.
re: Bill Hunt
I was there again with a friend yesterday. this time i tried the Waygu burger... it was good, but I'm not sure it's worth the additional $4 per burger.
Thanks KM for discovering this place.... not perfect, but I think they serve an outstanding burger:
> Bread.... these people really understand a good proportion of bread to ingredients... the less surface area the better. I agree with KM, it tastes good but disintegrates... doesn't bother me though.
> I went with the Wagyu. It was relatively juicy & had good taste. Now, I fundamentally disagree with the thick burger paradigm (and the premium meats for that matter). Calorie for Calorie... 2 * 4oz patties of 30% Ground Chuck that is gentle grilled over plenty of smoke & well seasoned is FAR superior in flavor than the typical Thick Patty. This was among the better of thick burgers I've had... but I think they cook them at too high heat & which allows the outer edges to toughen prior to the center reaching Medium.
> I personally LOVE the concept... Choose your Meat, Choose your Sauce then Choose Four Toppings.
Not to toot my own horn... well actually that is what I do best... I HIGHLY recommend ordering the Eat Nopal special:
> Russian Dressing
> Bleu Cheese
> Mushrooms
> Bacon
> Crispy Onions
> Raw Jalapenos
re: Eat_Nopal
Have you guys tried the Kobe Beef burgers at Kiawe Grill on King Street? The place is a little hard to find, but well worth the trip. I'm not a burger fan (not even In & Out) and I thought the Kobe Beef burgers were really good here and I didn't even taint it with any added condiments, though they insisted on giving me mayonnaise on the side. They cost about $8.99 each. And they also offer other interesting burgers, such as buffalo and ostrich burger. Thick steak fries come separately for an additional $2-3 more. I forget now the cost. But I still dream about their burgers. My bf got the salmon burger, but he doesn't talk about food like I do, so I'm not sure how it tasted. And although I didn't ask, I presume the name means that they grill the burgers over an authentic Kiawe grill. It makes the burgers very smoky and flavorful. They also serve Korean-style plate lunches with a serve yourself style side dishes (with a sign that limits the amount you take). I haven't tried those yet, but the side dishes look tasty.
Just a forewarning, don't go there for service. I've heard it stinks! The service was fine when I went there, but I'm asian. Can't say they treat everyone the same. There's a newspaper article that also discusses the great burgers and poor service.
There are 2 locations, both on King Street.
2334 S. King Street.
1311 N. King Street.
I went to the 1311 N. King Street location.

Screenshots taken from H&M Inspiration site featuring the newest rustic white collection. Though the style and photos can be seen a little bit pretentious and overdone, I still think they serve as a great inspirational mook. Not seen often are they bright green accents in this style. While rustic does offer a handful of plants here and there is has never taken a whole theme of a room. H&M seems a bit different here. But summing up - great pieces to look at!

Leading Indicators vs February 2015 – Easynomics Court
For an explanation on "Easynomics Court" and how it works, read this page on leading indicators vs six months into the future.
NOTE: In case you are accessing this post long after it was originally posted, you may also be interested in the most recent Easynomics Court case.
As of today, the official Easynomics Court conviction record for categorizing the growth level six months into the future is:
- 17 – Guilty (Win)
- 10 – Not Guilty (Loss)
- Conviction Rate = 63 percent
NOTE: A random guess would yield the correct result only 33 percent of the time, so the leading indicators are definitely worth noting.
Leading Indicators from August 2014
Charges Filed: "The Leading Indicators hereby charge that February 2015 shall be a POSITIVE month, as indicated by a positive annualized growth rate at or faster than the historical average of 3.3 percent."
Exhibit A – e-Forecasting Leading Economic Indicator (eLEI) | POSITIVE
In the six months leading up to August 2014, the e-Forecasting eLEI rose at an annualized rate of about 7.2 percent. This is consistent with growth that is at or above historically average rates over the next six months or so.
Easy Description: e-Forecasting.com has many useful tools for tracking the economy. Their Leading Economic Indicator (eLEI) is a proprietary model to predict the direction of the economy several months in advance. The concept is similar to The Conference Board's LEI does. Many people believe this is a good leading indicator for the economy, and there is some very good work that validates that.
Easynomics Rating Methodology: I will calculate the change in the eLEI over the six months leading up to the month the "charges" are being filed. I will convert that change into an annualized rate. If the annualized rate is less than zero, I will issue a "negative" rating – 3.3 percent or higher will be "positive" – anything in between will be "neutral." NOTE: I will use the first available data for the month where possible – i.e., I won't use revised data – this way, I'm simulating what the leading indicators really believe at the time they are released.

"Straub is Superb"
The story. Narration is also very good. The midwest accents are spot on. It takes a moment to get used to the TV Weatherman type of narrative delivery, but that sense soon passes. His dialogue is consistently excellent. I can always tell when a different character is speaking, and that's all I need.
The plot is a slow accretion of character elements and events that accumulate into a story that involves many lives, with threads that lead in many directions and incidents from decades past. It is a novel you can brood about and parse and enjoy just thinking about. The characters are very real and authentic. The conflicts are external and internal. It is everything you want in a novel.
All of the scenes from Tim Underhill's point of view regarding Vietnam. Especially the body detail scenes.
The Heart of Darkness is closer than you think.
Other reviewers are unfairly critical of Patrick Lawlor's performance. Give it half a chance already.
"Beautiful coming of age with a touch of fantasy"
I loved this experience. Karen Rose Richter is an accomplished narrator who gives vivid life to these many characters. Her performance is beautiful. Like another reviewer mentioned, her ability to distinguish between genders and all ages, is great, and one never gets confused about who is speaking. Her tone is just right for this story, warm, sometimes funny, but gentle. The story is interesting. I found the book to be like a fable at least in the first half. Feather goes through many incidents and adventures, and he learns lessons from them. Point of view switches when necessary to tell the story that the author wants to tell. So at first it seemed somewhat shallow prose--but that's only if you're comparing it to any other novel you might have read. The depth is in the mix. The second half of the story gets tense and thrilling.
The spiritual practices and shamanism in the book has a feeling of authenticity, and is described in intricate detail, narratively. I'm not sure, but I think the predictive visions are meant to be fantasy. It is a book that unfolds at its own pace. It is not "a western", or any other distinct genre. Of course, as you're listening, your heart breaks for these wise, gentle people whose way of life is about to be wiped off the face of the earth by history. It was impressive that the wise characters in the story make the point several times that not ALL of the invaders are evil. That they will find friends among them. And then that is demonstrated. That kind of grace is rare in books and in life. While I had minor emotional responses to the first half of the book, the second half pays major dividends. There's so much detail about day to day life, and the spiritual lives of the people, their decisions and thought processes, that the effect becomes profound.
"Twilight of the Gods"
Brian Hodge's Oasis is the story of an ancient blood feud between Viking chiefs, one who worships the old gods, and the other who has been converted to Christianity. But that's far in the background, for 3/4 of the book we are treated to an idyllic story of teens coming of age in the Midwest, yearning to discover their adulthoods. This first part of the book reminded me of Summer of Night or Stand By Me, a heartfelt tale of true friendship and bonding in late adolescence. I enjoyed the characters, who were vivid and distinct. Paul Heitsch's narration provides distinction between the characters so that I was never confused about who was speaking. The narration is musical and coherent, which allowed me to see the story played out in my mind's eye, this the experience I want from an audiobook.
What could have been a potboiler, contemporary fantasy, turned out to pack an emotional punch I was not expecting. So the book stayed with me long after the last chapter ended. This is not Raiders of the Lost Runestone. It displays a keen literary talent, though the story drags somewhat in the middle of the book, when only a few flourishes of the evil awaiting the heroes are shown. It doesn't build like a horror/thriller, but the ending is spectacularly fiery. I recommend this book highly.
The title seems odd and doesn't compliment the contents of the story.
"How Oscar Got His Groove"
Brilliant book, brilliant narration. This history is full of character and facts about Oscar Wilde's tour of the U.S. early in his career. It is extraordinarily full of anecdotes and descriptions of encounters Oscar Wilde had with the luminaries of his day, such as Harriet Beecher Stowe, Henry Ward Beecher, Walt Whitman, Jefferson Davis, and many others. Also revealing was that Wilde, far from being a mere aesthete prancing about in knickers and dancing slippers, was a man of substance, who knew how to navigate the waters of class (the Miners of Leadville, CO come to mind), and treat even those who were contemptuous of him with dignity and respect. The force of this book is in the visceral way the reader is allowed to understand how the American Tour changed Wilde for the better, which gave him a backbone of iron, and changed his sensibilities. There was one Oscar Wilde before America, and a different Oscar Wilde after. This book reveals how that happened, with a joyful wit worthy of its estimable subject. Christa Lewis narrates with a gentle touch, and a wry sense of humor at moments that increase ones appreciation of the ironical positions Wilde finds himself in throughout his experiences. Brilliant narration. Only scant mentions are made of the scandal which looms in Oscar's future. And these are done only to serve the narrative, and not because of any salacious intent. I recommend the book to everyone. 7 hours in the contemplation of beauty and the beautiful is a treat for the soul.
"Brilliantly told story, brilliantly narrated."
I very much enjoyed listening to this book. I think Pearl Hewitt is one of the best of the best narrating books these days. Her characterizations are varied and emotionally evocative without becoming too overly dramatic -- very nice, pleasant delivery that invites me to become fully immersed in the story. I don't want technical fireworks, I just want the story, and Pearl delivers. The novel itself: I've only read a few of these WotC tie-ins, and I don't like stories that take place completely underground. That said, Jaleigh Johnson does a fantastic job of making sense of this world and structuring a dramatic, engaging plot. The characters (which are hers, and not WotC's at least to the best of my knowledge) are fully motivated by personal backstory and interesting. The wild spell scar magic is dramatic, as is the climax of the novel which features two stunning twists I did not see coming. I strongly recommend this book. I do not like all the game nomenclature--but that will be a strong plus for some readers. The battles are vividly described and narrated with coherence and flair. I strongly recommend this book for those interested in Drow and the Forgotten Realms.
"Good Story, Energetically Told"
Chris Andrew Ciulla brings life to these characters vividly and energetically. I enjoyed his performance, he has a fresh, youthful sound, which was just right for the main character, Dr. Parks. He does a fine job of distinguishing between the many characters and keeping their voices consistent, as well as making the female characters sound believable. He handles the 1890s idiom perfectly. After getting used to his rhythm I saw it all in my mind's eye--which is exactly what I want from an audiobook.
Saw 101: Snake Oil
The book was compelling and interesting. I was immersed in the story after the first few chapters, and I cared about what happened to the characters. I would have liked a little more sense of place, as I lived 30 years in the Pac NW, and I only got a little bit of description--but that's a matter of personal taste.
"Just Brilliant"
Stephen King has developed a sense of grace and wisdom in his writing now.
The Things they Left Behind
One of the things I didn't like about Stephen King's writing, at least before his retirement, was his prolixity, which gave everything the same weight. I gave up reading halfway through Lisey's Story. But this collection is downright brilliant. Emotional, real. Taut and graceful, like a highwire act. Several deeply felt moments. I'm loving every second. His best writing bar none, since Hearts in Atlantis.
"Shocking Hollywood Scandal that Never Was"
For Scott O'Neill's brilliant performance.
This is like Hollywood Babylon meets the National Lampoon.
The Lon Chaney scene
Yes. And it's possible because it's so short.
The text is packed with fun and humor, and Scott O'Neill brings it to vivid life. He has a ratatat delivery reminiscent of the old newsreels, but then provides a unique voice for each character being interviewed. Mr. O'Neill can claim the title "the Man of 1,000 Voices" (there were really only 69, but who's counting?) Laugh out loud moments abound in this feast of hilarity.
"Very Unsettling"
The writing.
Yes. The pacing is remarkable, which JCO manages through point of view. Nobody gets deeper into character and motivations than Joyce Carol Oates.
If You Have a Twin, Run!
I've been a fan of JCO for many years. This is a strong collection, but not her best. I'm still always floored by her gift for incident and apt words. As always you have to piece together the story--she doesn't spoonfeed you. You understand the story only after it's done, because she's so close to point of view. The characters stumble and grope. It's like life.
"Brilliant, Incisive, an Absolute Pleasure!"
Don't know. I never read--just listen.
The character of Harry Bosch is likeable, wise and moral. The political subplot is current and topical. Harry has problems, but they never compromise his better judgment. He doesn't have to go through hell to get his point across. (Though his problems are problematic!)
Everything. Cariou's delivery is exquisite, perfect. He captures character more in attitude than inflection and that keeps me from getting confused. He doesn't overact, and trusts the text. He's a brilliant reader. (I've been a fan for many, many years, but this is all true). I hope he reads other titles by Connelly
Homeland Insecurity.
This is my first Michael Connelly novel. Impressive writing skills. Brilliant technique. I enjoyed it immensely and will return for many more servings I can assure you! The flow, the pacing, the tension, the action, it was all great. He revealed details and clues masterfully. I noticed one extremely minor technical mistake in the LA demographics, but hey, nobody's perfect.

Active Questions
|Guys / 12:45 PM - Friday February 22, 2013
I really want to go somewhere with this guy but my parents are super strict? What can I do?
My mom always said that if I wanted to go somewhere, like the movies, with a guy, then I shouldn't tell her. She should she would rather have me lie just so she doesn't get anxiety about it, like worrying about where I am and what I'm doing. I know that if I did decide to go out for lunch with this guy, my sister can drive me but she literally wants to be there with me, which is super weird. I'm 17, I really don't need a chaperone. How can I convince my sister to let me go by myself?
- Asked by An Arty Girl, Girl, 17, Providence, Student
You could try to convince her by maybe making a deal like if you do this for me I will do something for you. If that doesn't work then maybe have a friend drop you off, or the guy could maybe pick you up!

- True North
- £18.50
- www.descent-world.co.uk
Ah, bike videos. It doesn't matter how comfy your saddle, it's never going to match your sofa. And generally it's warm and dry in your front room. Unless you're a student, probably. In cases of extreme exterior nastiness, a good bike vid is the cure. Plenty of sunshine, dusty trails, big-name riders doing crazy stuff…
That's most bike vids anyway. descent-world's True North is a little bit different, though. Sure, there's sunshine and dusty trails in various foreign locations (Spain, France, Italy) and big names aplenty. But this video hails from Scotland, and there's a healthy dollop of local flavour. Which occasionally means thick mud and heavy rain, but always great riding.
What we've got here is a film following a bunch of Scottish (and a few English) downhillers at a bunch of venues. Mainly at races, but with some dirt jumping segments to break things up. And there's bona fide Real People in there too – not people you'll have heard of unless you're part of the Scots DH scene, but racers who show up at every race going, race because they love it and keep the whole thing rolling. This is their fifteen minutes of fame…
And that's what we like about it. It's not big, brash, glitzy or glamorous. It's not an over-the-top freeride flick, it's the best bits of reality – no-one here's riding because they're on a video, they're riding either to win or for the hell of it. There just happens to be a camera pointing at them. And it works.
At 55 minutes it may be a tad long, but the editing's pretty tight and it doesn't outstay its welcome. And hell, you've got a remote haven't you? Exactly.
If you're a downhill nut, this is a must-see. It'll remind you why you do it. Keeping it real is a bit of a jaded term these days, but that's what True North does…

This could be a bit of a marmite pub, love it or hate it. As John mentions below ,very much food driven ,and on my Saturday afternoon visit the entire floorspace decked out with tables and chairs was chock a block with diners including a scattering of screaming kids,hell on earth for me and I would normally run a mile, and yet I loved this place,plenty of barstools were available to turn your back to the gastronomes behind you leaving you facing an interesting choice of beer on the bar and a range of bottles beyond,I plumped for the Bull And Last/East London Brewing collaboration beer So Solid Brew,I'm not sure what the Bull And Last part of the collaboration was apart from the name but the beer was excellent and strangely the atmosphere was excellent,some pubs have it some don't, this one does and I will gladly return.

Def a gastopub but space for drinkers..The shrubs and trees round the front door are overgrowing the entrance but after you have hacked your way in you will find four handpumps with good beers from East London-Ilkley-Lateknights and Liverpool craft.Liked this pub a lot and will be back.

I have been to the B&L a couple of times before my visit on bank Holiday Monday. Both previous visits have been as part of a large party with the prime intention of eating. As such, it never occurred to me just how many tables are reserved for dining. On this occasion, the wife and I had no reservation and were forced to sit right in the middle of the pub at one of 4 small round tables being constantly jostled by waiters, punters and buggy pushers. The beer, as always, was excellent, if a little pricey. The food was equally good and arrived quickly and hot.
What made the experience less than fun were the other punters. The couple of girls next to us were the usual Chelsea set with small dogs in bags and a lime and soda in front of them. They spent an hour bitching about men and feeding the small dogs from the food on thier plates. Screaming babies in strollers and loud yuppies on mobile phones did nothing more to impress me and I was actually quite glad to leave.
In short, the B&L is not a pub any more. It is an eating establishment that has a bar selling decent beer. If you can get in here out of meal times, it might be OK. There are stools at the bar for drinkers with no reservations.

3D Movie Popularity on the Decline in the US, Register Record Low Turnout
The going is not turning out to be smooth for 3D films in the US and the below par performance of big ticket films such as 'Turbo' and 'The Wolverine' is ample proof of that. In case of the 3D animated Turbo, 3D contributed to just 25 percent of the total box office earning while The Wolverine performed marginally better with 30 percent of the $53.1 million it grossed in the opening weekend coming from ticket sales of its 3D version.
"We have become increasingly concerned that these lower levels will actually represent the norm going forward versus a recent exception as consumers are likely to remain increasingly choosy with 3D premiums," Eric Wold, B. Riley & Co analyst stated in a note to investors.
Both the above mentioned figures represent a new low in 3D movie earnings, superseding the previous low that Monsters University and World War Z accounted for. Monsters University made $82 million at the box office though 3D contributed just 31 percent to it while for World War Z, 3D accounted 34 percent of the 66 million that it earned.
The above trend though is not applicable to other regions in the world as 3D films seems to be doing brisk business in countries like Russia and China. However, its just the opposite trend that is evident in the UK where popularity of 3D films is on the decline.
Maybe what James Cameron has said is right. Film makers are jumping on to the 3D bandwagon indiscriminately which in turn is bringing a bad name to the 3D format. Meanwhile, the latest revelation comes close on the heels of another report which stated 3D ticket priced is on the rise in the US.

Re: Verdana
If you have access to a Windows machine, you might try copying the "Tahoma" TrueType font (TAHOMA.TTF) onto your OS X system, and using that. Tahoma and Verdana were both developed by Microsoft, were heavily optimized and hinted for excellent onscreen display, and have almost identical outlines. However, Tahoma is tracked a lot tighter than Verdana, so letters fit closer together and text takes up less space.

I've been avoiding this section of 101 for months now, taking surface streets instead. Unfortunately, others don't have the option or don't realize that it even is an option. The number of accidents around & in the construction zone is terrifying.
