Toby Flood cleared of tip-tackle charge
ESPN Staff
January 8, 2013
Did Leicester's Toby Flood deserve a ban for this tackle?%]
Recent tip-tackle bans:
Leicester fly-half Toby Flood has been cleared of a tip-tackle on Worcester's Andy Goode during their Aviva Premiership clash on Friday night.
Flood was cited in the wake of the Tigers' 19-14 victory at Sixways for an ugly challenge on his Warriors counterpart that went unpunished during the game itself. But the charge was dismissed by a disciplinary panel in London tonight and Flood is free to continue playing.
The chairman of the panel Jeremy Summers said: "Whilst we found that the elements of a dangerous tackle were made out, after very careful analysis we could not be satisfied, to that standard required, that the dynamics of the incident had not been caused, or contributed to, significantly by the involvement of other players from both teams."
A ban would have severely hampered Leicester's push for a Heineken Cup quarter-final place with crucial pool clashes against the Ospreys and Toulouse to come in the next fortnight. A suspension would have also impacted on Flood's hopes of returning to the England fold for their Six Nations opener against Scotland on February 2.
The 27-year-old sat out England's headline-grabbing victory over New Zealand last month and while he is expected to retain his place in Stuart Lancaster's latest Elite Player Squad that will be announced this week, a ban would have no doubt seen Saracens' Owen Farrell and Gloucester's Freddie Burns retained for the clash against the Scots.
In related news, London Welsh hooker Neil Briggs has been suspended for three weeks for punching Harlequins wing Sam Smith. Briggs will be sidelined for the Exiles' Amlin Challenge Cup fixtures against Cavalieri and Stade Francais, plus their Anglo-Welsh Cup appointment with Harlequins.
IRB Law on 'tip-tackles' or 'spear tackles':
Law 10.4(j) reads: Lifting a player from the ground and dropping or driving that player into the ground whilst that player's feet are still off the ground such that the player's head and/or upper body come into contact with the ground is dangerous play.
A directive was issued to all Unions and Match Officials in 2009 emphasizing the IRB's zero-tolerance stance towards dangerous tackles and reiterating the following instructions for referees:
- The player is lifted and then forced or 'speared' into the ground (red card offence)
- The lifted player is dropped to the ground from a height with no regard to the player's safety (red card offence)
- For all other types of dangerous lifting tackles a yellow card or penalty may be considered sufficient

He is honest, trustworthy, and flexible with his schedule – all really great and desirable real estate agent qualities. It was no wonder he came so highly recommended! From initial house showings to the final closing, his vast knowledge of the real estate industry became a huge help in all phases of the process. My favorite thing about Phil is that he is a normal down-to-earth kind of guy, who simultaneously maintains his professionalism. I am extremely pleased with the work he has done. Trust me – his expertise, services, and advice are priceless.

Ratings & Reviews
I like Phil. But that's not why I am doing this review. I was a first time buyer and I wanted an agent with whom I felt comfortable telling what I really felt about a property, was available when (ever) I needed to get in touch, knew what he was talking about, knew the area and most importantly was personable. Without other reviews on sites like these I would have found it difficult to pick an agent like Phil who was motivated just like me to make a plan, stick to the plan and get things done when it had to be done. I hope you pick Phil, more for you than for Phil.
Phil is a great agent! He is very professional, attentive and honest. He has great connections in the field that made our home buying experience a delight! Thanks so much for the great service, Phil!
Phil was not present at either of my closings. He wasn't present at the home inspection of the house I purchased. He wasn't present when I first went to view the house I ended up purchasing. He always seemed to have something else going on. His preferred method of contact is by sending long, broken, and mistyped texts. He did not do much as far as making recommendations to maximize the profit on the home I was selling and he didn't do much as far as finding me a house I was interested in. He was very accessible by phone and email and was very blunt and honest which were both his positive points. I didn't have a bad experience with Phil but I didn't have a great one either.
Got the job done! He knows the ins and outs of the real estate world and was able to market us to sell our home quickly! He was honest and real about our options that would be right for our family. Overall very pleased!
Philip Unger helped my fiance and I purchase our first home. His expertise, professionalism, honesty and kindness were of great assistance and we will refer him to our friends when the time arises for the purchase of their first homes.
After having a bad experience with another realtor, Phil was a breath of fresh air. He was always professional and very knowledgeable about the entire process and homes in general (e.g. structural issues, etc). He was easy to work with and often extended help going beyond his responsibilities. He is always on his phone and is easy to reach - even on weekends and evenings! He had great negotiation skills that allowed me to get a home for cheaper than I expected and was able to work with another realtor who was less skilled at the process (in my opinion). Using his services I was able to find a home in less than 6 mths! I would definately do business with him again and would recommend him to others as well. (satisfied customer) Fall 2013
He was patient and always on time. He took his time to show us all the homes we wanted to see. He made recommendations based on his experience in the field. I would recommend him to anybody who is looking to but a house in connecticut
First time home buyer here. Phil responded to my inquiry on a home right away and kept in contact with me until we were ready to make a purchase. Though Phil did not ever suggest any homes for us to look at, he responded back immeadiatley with every inquiry we had on homes we saw on various websites. We actually stumbled onto the house we ended up purchasing through a random open house we decided to check out on a whim. After alerting Phil we were interested in putting in an offer, he took it from there and we ended up making a deal and getting exactly what we wanted. Phil suggested Norcom Mortgage and I worked with Joann and Greg who were excellent in keeping me up to date on the process as it was all new to me and quite hectic. We closed in 30 days with hardly any issues with their underwriter. All in all an interesting experience and a stressful one but that all comes with the homebuying process. Thanks
Phil is a top agent in my books. Phil was always available to us, even when we inundated him with questions and concerns.
Phil made us feel as if we were his top priority. We felt that Phil gave us the best care and immediate attention to our needs and concerns . We felt confident in his expertise and knowing he was representing us in all negotiations.
We thank Phil for finding us the right home!!!

- we were celebrating my friend'sOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 5/27/2008we were celebrating my friend's visit to Chicago and also her engagement. I let them know in advance that she got engaged recently, and they came out with all these cute appetizers on a lovely plate. The presentation was just delicate and gorgeous. After we finished our entree, they came out with special desserts with her name written! Foods were great, the desserts were divine, and the service was just excellent! My friend and her fiance thanked me million times that night and she said the dinner was the highlight of her trip to Chicago! I really want to have my engagement party there someday... very special moments we had there...Special Features:

- We booked on the basis ofOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 5/17/2008We booked on the basis of a review on your site. Unfortunately the meal experience did not live up to the review in any way. To summarise... The menu content was limited with a lot of repetition of certain items eg: mushrooms. The cooking element of the menu was poorly executed with one main course of fish served uncooked. Sauces were glutenous and bland. Service was reasonable but never quite lived up to what was expected. Interestingly, when we expressed our dissapointment we were advised that the Head Chef had in fact, left some time ago though the restaurant and your review site still had him in place as the resident chef..Infomation obviously not up to date ..Very wrong! Overall a thoroughly dissapointing unmemorable meal.Special Features:
- An outstanding restaurant;OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 5/16/2008An outstanding restaurant; in most cities this would be the best chef & best restaurant in town! Genuinely charming service from the maitre'd, waiter, servers & busboy.We had the fixe prix dinner; it was just fabulous & a huge bargain at $40.00 per person. Truely outstanding service! With so many restaurants in Chicago to choose from we like to try new ones on each visit, and we usually avoid hotel restaurants. However, we'll return to Cafe des Architectes.Special Features:
- I am on a gluten free, dairyOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 5/16/2008I am on a gluten free, dairy free diet, and had made that clear on my opentable reservation. When I got to the restaurant, no one made a mention of it, though. I had to bring it up. One of the menu items was modified to accommodate my restrictions, but it would have been nice not to have to say anything.Special Features:
- My group and I had a wonderfulOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 5/15/2008My group and I had a wonderful experience at Cafe Des Architectes. I would recommend this place to anyone. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was great as well.Special Features:
- Even though I had enteredOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/15/2008Even though I had entered a special note in you indicated section, it was quite clear the maitre d' had no idea we were celebrating my friend's birthday. He noticed the birthday cards on the table however, and quickly redeemed himself by delivering a special dessert to the table. It was much appreciated but made me realize I should communicate directly with the restaurant about special events.Special Features:

My boyfriend is a fan of French food and he was impressed and pleased. Our wine was excellent as well and I must say $40 for our 3 course fixed menu was extremely reasonable and the quality of the food was wonderful. I think on a beautiful summer day, the windows would suit people watchers. I would definitely recommend.Special Features:

- Sleek, bold restaurant spaceshep77Dined on 5/9/2008Sleek, bold restaurant space in red, black, white and creams right out of Architectural Digest! Located in the Sofitel hotel in the Gold Coast about five minutes from North Michigan; a good choice for a more civilized lunch break during shopping in the area. Attentive and friendly staff. Excellent breads and rolls come with butter and an intense tapenade. The food is definitely well prepared but not all dishes hit the mark: my pasta dish was on the bland side and wanting for a little more sauce. For lunch there is a 4 little dishes pre fixe for $20 which I would do the next time around.Special Features:

This was probably one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had. The restaurant was gorgeous and the service was unobstrusive, yet spectacular. Equally notable is the hotel this street level restaurant is housed in -- it's absolutely beautiful (Hotel Sofitel. AND THE FOOD!!!! The food was absolutely out of this world as well as beautifully presented. I would not only go back here, but plan on recommending it to everyone I know. It made our "girls weekend" all that much more successful!Special Features:

- We had lunch with 4 adultskokomogalDined on 4/14/2008We had lunch with 4 adults and 1 child. The staff was extremely accommodating and went out of their way to make the experience a lovely one. We had a 2-1/2 hour lunch (the restaurant wasn't crowded) and never felt hurried. The selection of rolls is very good and better than most restaurants offer. We also liked the French-press coffee which somehow stayed warm although we took our time in drinking it. This is the best place for a beautiful, delicious, conversation-friendly meal.Special Features:

We also had a 3 set red wine flight and a wonderful lunch experience.Special Features:
- Very good surprise. We tookOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 3/22/2008Very good surprise. We took the $40 menu which consists of one appetizer, one entree and one dessert. Not expansive compared with similar restaurants and taking into account the quality of food. Both Chef and Sous-Chef are French, which you can see when you eat. Nice presentation, portions are not too big, though you feel food after dinner. Deserts were great! Good wine list. Much cheaper than other more famous tables in Chicago but very good level quality/price.

The atmosphere was wonderfully romantic, and the harp was an excellent touch. I did not like the food, but I am extremely picky, probably excessively so. My girlfriend on the other hand, loved the food and enjoyed the champagne. We both agreed that the desserts were amazing. The service was professional and friendly.Special Features:

Spice is labeled as incense and its manufacturers say it isn't for "human consumption." But it's often rolled in joints or smoked in marijuana pipes.

Stop Quickly And Safely - What's the secret to safer braking? Practice braking before you have to use your brakes for an emergency, and be certain your braking system is in good working order. Remember to apply pressure to the brake levers evenly; don't favor the front or rear brake alone. The harder you have to squeeze, the more you should shift your weight backwards. Practice weight-shift braking in an unused parking area or on a sidewalk adjacent to your home. Just before you squeeze the brakes, use your leg muscles to lift your weight off the seat an inch or two, then apply the brakes as you simultaneously and smoothly shift your body rearward. Keep looking forward and be ready to step one foot on the ground as your bike safely comes to a rapid stop. Repeat these steps to build confidence, knowing that you can now stop safely and quickly from any speed. Variations of the same technique will work off-road, too, though loose surfaces such as sand or gravel make skidding, sliding and falling more likely and require increased bike-handling skills.
1. The "disc" part of disc brakes, rotors are the thin, flat circular metal plates that attach to the hubs. They're what the brake calipers grip to slow and stop you when you squeeze the brake levers. 2. A component found on the front end of many BMX bikes and some freestyle mountain bikes that prevents the rear brake cable from tangling so that you can do easy barspins and tailwhips (spinning the bars or bike 360 degrees). The rotor (also called a "detangler") splits the brake cable into two segments, which are joined at a rotor installed above, or attached to, the bike's head tube. As the bars rotate, the top segment spins while the bottom stays stationary and full braking power is available at every point of the rotation.

Mythic redemption, beautifully writing, pure and simple horror. Also, Scotland.
Terrific steampunk/zombie/romance/adventure novella with diction that won't let you read it out of a proper English accent. (Author's giving away a lot of her other work for free right now.)
Delicious little story mining the same vein as "The Lottery"---but more modern in a way as it ends with an emotion rather than an action. Also, the smallness of it feels appropriate for 2014, just a girl and her leg.
Time-travel stories are tricky and I'm not going to parse this sentence by sentence trying to catch the author in error. In the end, this story kept coming to mind for days and each time I reevaluated it---each time at a slightly higher valuation. It twists and it circles and it asks more than answers.
In appearance, seems to be the sort of poetry I have very little patience for. But some of the lines are just incredible.
over a week
I get how these things work. You have an idea. You get people involved. You hope for the best. You can't know ahead of time that it'll be two chickens walking in the rain, one of them reciting an encyclopedia article. You hope for the best, put it together, send it out. If you're interested and are starting from scratch, this is a good enough place to start.
Pretty terrific book. Expect more than one post on AMV.under a week
Sure, it's a bit obvious in places, but it's obvious in beautiful and poetic ways.three days
My students loved this book. I'm just glad to finally get around to reading it.
Terrific look at American culture---midcentury, black, sports, work, family, you name it. Simple---follows Aristostle's unity of place---but layered. Great book for kids to write about. I'll be teaching this one again.
What I know about Richard III before beginning to read it is that he's the evillest guy out there (save Iago), and at the end of the story, he'll be desperate with regret and mortality, willing to trade everything for a horse. As it ends up, I'm not convinced that latter bit is the best interpretation of his kingdom for a horse, but your interpretation works just fine, sweetie. I'm not here to say you're wrong.over a week
I do think Richard is a more complex character than he's often given credit for as well. Sure, he's a scumbag and a megalomaniac and a machiavellian pile of crap, but . . . is he really that much worse than other people in the histories? I mean---all other characters say he is, but of course they would say it. Take the interesting arguments Queen Margaret has with people, telling them how awful Richard is---which they don't disagree with--while simultaneously having them remind her how awful she is. Or take Anne, who begins one scene hating on Richard for killing her family only to end it thinking, well, he does think I'm pretty and that would make me queen. . . .
They all walk his talk.
And take the final speeches on the field of battle. Both were good, but Richard's was better. In part because it was more honest. Not completely honest, but more honest. Richmond's is wholesome and cheery, but by putting Richard's second, he shows the holes in Richmond's argument.
I suspect Shakes was annoyed at how poorly people had uncovered irony in the St Crispin's Day Speech and didn't want his audience to pretend any of these royals were that much better than any others. Richmond's and-now-we-shall-live-happily-ever-after speech is half ironic commentary on what didn't happen next and half political argument for acting as we pretend we should.
Anyway. It's a swift play, hollow in sections, demands a lot of previous knowledge to get the nuance, etc etc, but it starts out craaaaazy and keeps things happening all the way to the end. That's Shakespeare, baby.
I picked this book up with the idea that it would hold my attention and distract me from my upcoming surgery. Good job, book. But then it grasped onto my fevered recovery mind and that was less good job. The novel's tightly constructed though it did a bit too much explaining for my taste and pulled a double-twist at the end I found a bit cheaty. But it was a quick read and the monsters felt real. That's the best thing a monster book can do.one week

YOU walk into the bookstore and you keep your hand on the door to make sure it doesn't slam. You smile, embarrassed to be a nice girl, and your nails are bare and your V-neck sweater is beige and it's impossible to know if you're wearing a bra but I don't think that you are. You're so clean that you're dirty and you murmur your first word to me—hello—when most people would just pass by, but not you, in your loose pink jeans, a pink spun from Charlotte's Web and where did you come from?She's clearly meant for him and he begins to court her by following her around and learning everything about him. And not in a cute way like in The Fisher King.
Galbraith now revealed to be a pen name for Rowling).two or three weeks
Having been reintroduced to detective fiction of late by reading Sue Grafton, I tend to think of her pacing as the standard. The Galbraith novel's mystery is about the same size as those in the Grafton books I've read, but it's much, much longer. The swift conclusion arrives about the same distance from the end---absolutely, not proportionally---which is to say it seems a bit too long to get too. I found the twist a little too obvious in the sense that I didn't think THAT person could be the murderer because all the misdirection made THAT person impossible.
Anyway. I think the most important part of these sorts of novels is whether or not we grow fond of the the hero[es] to come back on another adventure with them. In this case, Cormoron Strike is compelling and ultimately likable. His assistant Robin Ellacott even more so. Their love histories and presents are still to be fully explored. (Although choosing to introduce Robin's fiance as a wonderful person and then spend the rest of the book undermining that was an odd choice.)
Yeah. Anyway, the point is it was enjoyable, too long, not remarkable really in any way, wonderfully British, and---because we already know---tastes a lot like JK Rowling. Just with more swears.
McSweeney's, and in many ways, that's a better place for it. My favorite part of the collection is the final chapter in which every mnemonic is something said at his ten-year high-school reunion. The random things which these are made to signify is the undercurrent of humor but the contrarily directed undercurrent of deciphering a "true" story simultaneously makes the whole gag more successful.four days
Ultimately, this is the sort of book in which a sequence of mildly humorous antijokes set up the more largely funny antijokes.
In other words, hard to imagine that most people won't hate it.
But it's a pleasant humor book of the sort I thought they stopped publishing in the 90s. So if you like these---or enjoy giving them as gifts---it's a solid choice.
[Review of gratis copy from publisher.]
I may someday finish this other loooong comic I'm reading whose name I can't be bothered to look up right now, I may not. I mention it because the introduction talks about how its creator is the creator of Babylon 5 and his genius shines through in comics form as well. Now, I've never seen Babylon 5(and after the good-ideas/holey-execution of that comic, I've no real drive too), but the reason I bring it up is because I just discovered this book is also by that bloke.two days
I liked a lot about this reimagining of Superman's coming into the public eye, but, at the same time, it did a lot of things that didn't make sense. I'm forgiving those flaws because I liked the parts I liked, but let's face it: no way was this good enough to turn me on to Babylon 5.
Incredibly, I've never read any Usagi before. Just never happened. I'm always a little leery of martial-arts stories (the oft-repeated trauma of watching Karate Kid is no doubt to blame) and there are sooo many of these books. But I was stuck at the library and looking at the comics in the teen section and they had two, one of which was a standalone. I decided to take that one home, but in the meantime, I read the first few pages of this one. A few turned to forty and I took this home instead. And I loved it. I don't even care that I'm in the middle of some longer tales. Each of these short stories satisfies---and in different ways.two days
Man, I've wasted a lot of time not reading Usagi.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): Chris Pratt, Bradley Cooper, Lee Pace, John C. Reilly---my goodness. Many of my favorite Hollywood men. (Clearly I have a type.) The movie did not disappoint, though I was never quite able to suspend my disbelief re the durability of that cassette tape. I passed up some other great options to be part of the zeitgeist. Yes, I let my expectations get a little too high, but I choose no regrets. Largely because I have faith in this incredible Marvel machine to keep paying dividends.
Ghostbusters (1984): Although the cartoon and the soundtrack are pivotal parts of my childhood, I'm not 100% sure I've seen the movie straight through before. It's not flawless, but I found it very satisfying. I laughed, I jumped, it was worth it.
Brick (2005): A great noir that manages to also be one of the better high-school movies I've seen---even though it goes in for the high school = drugs thing that I'm sick to death of. The details of set and character, and the clever moments of character work really make the film sing. I picked this up on reputation and the author's other work and the fact that he's tapped to take over Star Wars Episode VIII. Based on what I've seen, I'm intrigued at the choice.
Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971): One of the most rewatched movies of my childhood has just sent my children rolling on the floor in conniptions. And they even sat through "Portobello Road"---so I call this a great success. Personally, I'll always enjoy this more than Mary Poppins. (And, of course, waaaay more than Pete's Dragon.) So even if I would never watch this based on its concept were I hearing of it for the first time today, I recommend it to you all the same.
The Secret World of Arrietty (2010): This was pretty good. Another awesome female character from Miyazaki. Anyone who thinks it can't be done needs to sit down with his oeuvre. Not one of my favorites, but when I said that, Lady Steed was shocked. Of course, I liked The Wind Rises much more than her.
The Green Mile (1999): Loved the book and this is a terrific adaptation. Some of the layers are missing and you'll find some clever additions for make it more cinematic, but this really is one of the great adaptations. It captures the book and is a terrific movie at the same time. Also, it's not as gruesome as the novel which is good---otherwise it wouldn't be watchable. I've been wanting to see this movie since reading, before it came out, that it broke the studio's record for best responses from test audiences. It's taken me a long time to get around to it. Worth the wait.
In a World . . . (2013): The script's a bit choppy at places (especially with chronological clarity) but the important moments hit. The cast is strong and the acting is good. As is the dialogue they're acting. Good stuff.
Somebody Up There Likes Me (2012): A plethora of half-clever ideas do not a good movie make. But, you know, it was watchable.
Up in the Air (2009): This is a movie that threatened to resolve into typical cliche several times, but then veered away. I'm not sure quite where it did end, but it was a satisfying ambiguity. And what a cast, what a cast. The filming was such an important part of the storytelling, I often had times imagining the screenplay. (Imagining screenplays is a large part of my moviewatching experience these days.)
Napoleon Dynamite (2004): I've seen this movie more times than you have (guaranteed) and I've impressed with how this picaresque hodgepodge is ultimately so tightly constructed with such a large emotional payoff. Love it.
American Hustle (2013): It pulled a scene-from-the-middle-then-lengthy-flashback on me, but it was more forgivable than usual because the information revealed still made sequential sense without repeating things. Still my biggest complaint though. The acting was great and the twist both surprised me and would not poorly affect rewatching.
Little Secrets (2001): I first saw this when it was new and was surprised by the quality. I always wanted to someday show it to my kids. And now I have---to the oldest at least. Though not quite as good as my memory (no element of surprise this time), it does have a worthy payout and it makes surprisingly wise comments about secrets (then attempts to spell them out, which is what makes it kid-friendly, I suppose). Also funny to see Sam Cardon and Kurt Bestor heralded as the great artists of their generation. Truly a made-in-Utah film.
Bottle Rocket (1996): This was Lady Steed's first time seeing this movie. And though I wouldn't place it at the top of Wes Anderson's oeuvre, it's funny and pleasing. Totally bombs the Bechdel Test though, if you're keeping track.
Ginger Snaps (2000): One of the great B-movies of the 21st century, they say. One of the great movies about teenage girls, they say. One of the better horror movies of recent history, they say. You know what? I think they were right. It's a not a bad example of body horror either. Color me impressed. Wish I'd watched it a long time ago.
Better Off Dead... (1985): My first time seeing this movie. I'm so sad of this. It's a movie I could have enjoyed over and over. I still can enjoy it more than once, certainly, but I don't rewatch films so much anymore. And I would love for the chaos of this film to infect me. I mean---even more than it probably has. Children, live your lives such that you do not have regrets such as mine!
American Grindhouse (2010) Not much I didn't know, but interesting and free on Crackle and a good movie to put on in moments since, you know, it's just history---not plot.
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012): A lot about this movie seemed impossible to pull off. The trailer was great, but I didn't see how to make is succeed as a film. A comedy about the end of humanity? How can a comedy end in a marriage AND a funeral? It didn't seem likely. And perhaps it wasn't perfect. But the humanity of the characters and the pleasure of the details made this movie work. The end shares DNA with many bad romcoms, but it comes from a more honest place and it works.
I forget what I was doing. Perhaps it was when I had bumped into the Chip Kidd book for kids. Anyway, I was linkfollowing on Amazon and saw this book. I have a general interest in cover design, but this caught my eye in particular. Perhaps it was a student presentation in June on Lolita. Perhaps it was my own reading of the novel (stopped cold about fourteen months ago when Humbert first laid eyes upon "his" "nymphet". Perhaps it was my own cover struggling with a short novel called Perky Erect Nipples. I don't know. Anyway, I had it sent to my library from another system.a couple weeks
I had expected just a book filled with other designers attempts to design a good Lolita cover (the bulk of which range from hmm to egad). And that does make up about eighty pages in the middle. And most of them are hmm at best. The real value of this book is the essays. Granted, I ended up skimming two of them, but even though I don't have a large and abiding interest in Nabokov, scholarly looks at paratext (new word for me) were delightful as it's a topic I've been thinking about my entire reading life and have rarely had anyone to talk to about. (It's a shame I don't get on better with Dave Eggers.) So that was great. And stories about the times and how people read and misread controversial texts (or manipulate the public re said texts) and the thinking of designers---etc etc etc---ranged from the mostly interesting to the pretty great.
If any of those things interest you, might as well give this a heft.
My experience with The Shining was that the alcoholism was more terrifying than the ghosts. With its sequel, much of the same. Alcoholism is still terrifying. But the True Knot is scarier than the ghosties of the Overlook Hotel. And yet---the book overall packs less of a punch. I think because King pulled some of his. The good guys stop dying about halfway through the book. I kept guessing who would die and how and no one ever did.a couple weeks
Even worse, he kept pulling the camera away to keep me the reader in ignorance, hiding bits of the plan and so forth for suspenseful effect (and affect), which is a bit dishonest if not done right. Frankly, he seemed a bit lazy about hiding the strings in the last quarter of the novel.
All that said, I greatly enjoyed it and hope King lives long enough to write a second sequel starring Abra in her middle age.
Wowee. The first one was good. This one was better. I need to keep my eyes open for a free copy of C.about nine days
This one, a couple chapters from the end, built me up to that compelling point of can't-stop-reading that my jaded self hardly ever manages to reach these days. Loved the mix of truth and lies and identities. Granted, hard to accept this sociopath sudden change, but hey---when you're a PI, you only are part of these lives for a brief time. You see what you see.
I've been watching these books come out my whole life. I've had them recommended to me in essays by authors I admire (Stepehn King and Orson Scott Card). I picked this one up free, and you know what? I really liked it. Slow burn---seemed to be going nowhere, but the meantime the clarity of description and the cleanness of character kept the story moving forward. Then it all blew up at the end. Very satisfying.two weeksish
I think I may keep reading these things. What better way to relive the '80s?
1. I suppose my feelings may be stronger because this is someone I like and whose work I admire. And who hasn't done nude work. I might have already forgotten had I bumped into leaked, personal nudes of Kristen Stewart.Look: This is a new, photo-drenched world we live in. Photos of anything and everything have already been taken. Me, I'm too old to take photos of anything I don't want the world to see. But my film-born view of photography is not what a photograph is anymore. I lived before the word selfie---a time when a photo of yourself that was clearly taken by yourself was laughably gauche and fit for mocking.
2. Although the don't-take-photos-you-don't-want-leaked argument is not empty, I don't like it. And not just because it's victim-blaming. Although I don't own a phone myself, most of you reading this are, by any reasonable measure, human/phone cyborgs. Phone photos aren't much different anymore than looking in the mirror or being in the room with someone. I'm too old for this to be internalized, but I'm bright enough to know it's true.
3. Something alchemic about the combination of details in this case has not only made me sick, but it's altered my behavior. I've been a lot more careful online these last two days. Even your ad with the sportsbra-clad model advertising vitamins is making me ill. I feel like everything is exploitative. Maybe it is.
Every song on here is perfect and catchy and says something. I can't pick a favorite. Her album is so good, I refuse to listen to "Sin Song" because I know I will lose my soul. Seriously. This album is effin ineffable.
I should grant this list is biased towards albums I added earlier in the year. Easier to get to know an album when it's not on a list 29 hours and 48 minutes long. But regardless, Rosanne Cash's new album deserved all those extra listens. I really admire this album. She's the best at what she does.
Fun and charm and cleverness and more more more love love love. But I've already written about this album.
She sounds a bit like Emmylou and writes songs to match.
Compelling without yelling.
Herzig's found a new way to use her unique voice and the songs on this album compel with both serious-face and a clean beauty.
I don't like this album as much as I did earlier in the year, but it's young, international vibe is still charming.
Gritty girl-and-guitar country-rock.
Twee when you want it.
Their clean harmonies sharpened over lyrics worth listening to.
This is the best pop album I've heard in a long time. And yeah, it seems too perfect not to be manufactured, I can't help loving it. If Death Cab for Cutie was happy---it Brandon Flowers shared vocals with a woman. It's basically all that's fun about rock and roll from the last ten years wedded to the sort of vocals I'm naturally drawn to. It's not fair. I surrender. I love you.
Maybe if I called it the Yeah Yeah Yeahs only they crush you instead of stab you, then would you understand?
It's a solid Tori album. Couple songs that will become fan favorites. Not the best first-Tori-album for the neophyte probably, but you wouldn't regret it.
Essentially, my initial impressions have solidified.
It's Swedish chick singing folk. Please, sir. May I have some more?
It's Jenny Lewis. Haven't decided what else needs to be said about it yet.
Some of the songs on here are among the best of the year. None embarrass.
Like a lot of the other folkie countrified girls on this list, only lower and darker.
I loved her previous album. Haven't given this one enough attention yet, but so far this one seems equally deserving of love.
Sort of late Beatles, sort of Moody Blues, sort of new age, sort of awesome, sort of WTF. I've almost cut it from the list many times, only to have a song shuffle in and make me think I love this album. So that.
Haven't heard all the songs yet, but a couple of them are simply extraordinary. Start with "Gunshot."
I'm not sure this is saying, musically, much they didn't say last time. But they say it so well.
I've used the parody of courtly-love romance to teach courtly love. I've used the utopian parody to talk about the history of utopian literature. I'm considering how best to employ the Xmas-story parody. And don't forget the parody of Horatio Alger! Or od detective tales!many months maybe over a year or maybe even two years
I can't remember anymore how I came to download this, but I'm glad I did. Some of the stories don't keep their quality or consistency throughout (and some moments have not aged well), but all of them have genuine lol moments. Emphasis on the latter L. "What are you reading, Theric?" people ask. Stephen Leacock, I answer when I stop laughing.
(Since I began reading, one of the stories has been included with the new Lemony Snicket reprints, and a confused person wrote the introduction to a recent reprint of this volume?)
This is the only one of the square Calvin & Hobbes books we didn't own when I was a kid; we got this copy for Little Lord Steed's birthday last week. I've read them all before, but doesn't matter. Best strip of its decade. One of the best of all time. The only strip I would definitely place above it is Peanuts. Lofty company, that.two days
For the record, I read Calvin & Hobbes all the time, but rarely do I sit down and read a full book cover to cover. It's pages here and there of whatever's been left out by my kids. Good taste, them.
I got talked into reading this again. Same complaints as last time, but I think I actually liked it more.morning
I've heard mostly terrible thing about her adult novels and mostly ecstatic things about her YA novels. Since I"m trying to get a jump on the Whitney's and she seems like a sure bet, I picked up her new novel.two or three weeks
I found the first ninety pages utterly tedious. Were it not for the Whitneys, I would have quit around page forty. I kept going because in the 90s I found something to write about (see AMV), but I never did fall in love with the novel. Which makes me sad. I really thought I was going to like it. Maybe I'll still pick up Goose Girl or Princess Academy one of these days, but I'm not feeling the drive I once did.
Anyway. Click on the AMV link.
Here are some things that didn't fit in that review.
So many YA books feature multiple characters who quote great poetry. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS IN REAL LIFE. GIVE IT UP, YA AUTHORS! Not that I don't frequently enjoy it, mind, but please. It's absurd. In this case, it's three of five. That's not realistic.
She does this weird thing where she's skip the expository dialogue only to have characters who BOTH heard the expository dialogue sum it up for each other. This makes no sense.
The suicide in the novel was a bit frustrating for me even though I think the ultimate reasoning all made sense, I was awash with skepticism through the whole thing. A shame, really, because it could have been the novel's great shock.
The book had some nice lines: "Are you only capable of talking to me as if an audience were listening?" (40) Shark! . . . Then I remembered who I was. And I ate it. (177)
Why aren't the aliens interested in, say, dogs? Or salamanders?
At times, the comedic aspects of the aliens reminded me of Smekday.
This slice-of-life is perhaps more painful in its matter-of-fact sadness while observing loss of faith than in its observation of death and interfamily failure. Which is interesting because the narration certainly does not judge or condemn those who have lost their faith. And it's doesn't make the faithful seem more happy or full or honest, with the possible exception of an autistic teenager who encounters the sublime while saying the sacrament prayer for his congregation.
Whether faithful or faithless---whether seeing answers where they might not be or failing to see answers where they might be---each of us has some untouchable core of isolation and sadness and decay as entropy slowly claims us all.
Which sounds like a downer, but Karen's work always maintains a certain beauty and purity no matter how uncheerful it's subject or execution.
A technique I'm losing patience with in general is the in-media-res-then-let's-go-back-and-surprise-the-beginning-was-actually-near-the-end. I can't deny that Peck uses it to terrific effect here, but I think that's largely due to how dang corporeal and shocking it is rather than any need for the story to have had that shape. Not, anyway, if it had had a different title.
(Incidentally, what is it with Peck and killing canines?)
Anyway, story is a powerful one about the decline of age and the decision to choose one's own moment of death and friendship and love and trust and faith. As in Rosenbaum's story, the p-o-v has lost his faith while remaining close to those who remain close to faith. And both story's share redemptive elements for the faithless character, without returning them to the community of faith.
Anyway, it's a moving tale and an significant addition to those keeping a lists of Mormon stories about male friendship.
