TEAMS: West Virginia Mountaineers
Jenn Brown has had a fairly quiet 2011 season besides the news that we broke about her 2012 wedding to some actor. But her Thursday gig ended last night with a slight Gatorade bath, which Erin Andrews is making all the rage after she was soaked after Baylor beat Oklahoma. Jenn was just going about her business with WVU coach Dana Holgorsen when this bucket came flying in out of nowhere.
Dana's skullet takes most of the juice. Jenn takes a glancing blow.
Posted: Last night by these dorkwads who aren't getting laid & have nothing better to do
Premise of Video: WVU just beat South Florida on the road to get a share of the Big East Championship. The Mountaineers needs Cincy to beat UConn on Saturday to get the conference BCS bid to the Orange Bowl. Of course it's a soak-the-coach moment.
Climax of Video: Jenn tells us that's her first Gatorade bath. Insert joke where needed.
Conclusion: Horrible aim. The Gatorade needs to come in from Jenn's left shoulder. Swim move from behind her and then just dump with the goal to hit the sideline reporter first and the remnants blast your coach in the face. You guys need to start practicing this in the showers. Get one of the medical staff interns to play 'Jenn.'

Importance of using and recycling recharging batteries emphasized
MADISON, Wisconsin, April 18, 2012 – With costs seeming to rise everywhere around us, it's important to try to save money in as many places as possible. But with Earth Day approaching, many consumers also want to do what they can to help the environment, which is not always an easy feat while also trying to save money. Luckily, Rayovac rechargeable batteries help the consumer save green by being green.
Lifetime Value
Rayovac rechargeable batteries are a great value for high drain devices used every day, such as a wireless computer mouse, video game controllers and digital cameras. While the cost of rechargeable batteries is greater upfront, the value is evident even as soon as a year after the initial purchase.
Less money, less waste
The added benefit on top of saving you money is saving the environment by throwing away less waste. The EPA estimates that more than 2.5 billion alkaline batteries – in addition to the packaging that contains them – are thrown away each year in the United States. Buying rechargeable batteries means fewer batteries purchased and less waste deposited in landfills.
In addition, a 2007 study done by European Battery Company UNIROSS found that rechargeable batteries have up to 32 times less impact on the environment than disposable batteries based on 5 key indicators. Rechargeable batteries also have 30 times less impact on ozone pollution and 12 times less potential impact on water pollution than normal disposable batteries.
While disposal regulations vary between states, the EPA suggests that rechargeable batteries be recycled when possible due to their heavy metal content and ability to be broken down and remade into working batteries. This includes rechargeable batteries made from Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), Lithium Ion (Li-ion), and Small Sealed Lead (Pb).
Contact your local government first to find out if a drop-off location exists near you. In addition, a battery retailer near you, such as Batteries Plus, may collect rechargeable batteries for recycling. If not, hold onto your used batteries until a household hazardous waste collection event is held and drop them off there. For more information about recycling and disposing of batteries, visit http://www.epa.gov.
Celebrate Earth Outdoors
In celebration of Earth Day, Rayovac is giving its Facebook fans a chance to win a stay at the KOA campgrounds of their choice this summer! Simply visit Rayovac's Facebook page before April 30 to enter in the contest.
About Rayovac

Hi, just a quick question regarding what pieces of equipment I should worry about getting now the game seems to have progressed a lot.
You can skip the text below if you like :P
I stopped playing around January time of this year and have decided to get back into WoW but at the moment it all seems a little over whelming. Had a quick go this morning before work and found myself running about with the arrow keys and completely forgetting about using numbers for my skills.
I used to tank a lot of heroics on a daily basis, so I'm hoping when I get home tonight I can find a group and hopefully pick back up my "tanking skillz".
Anyway below is a link to my armoury, any suggestions appreciated. Mainly looking for what to improve first as I'm planning on running about 3 - 5 heroics a night for badges =]
Thanks in advance,

REGINA — Police are searching for an offender who escaped from the Regina Correctional Centre while working outside the facility on Monday afternoon.
Shaun William Wilton, 30, was reported missing at approximately 2:30 p.m.
"Wilton was outside the perimeter fence at the Regina Correctional Centre at the time of the escape this afternoon," said Linsay Rabyj, spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice.
Rabyj said she was unable to say at this point if the inmate was supervised at the time of his escape.
"It's not unusual for low-risk offenders to be working outside that perimeter fence in provincial facilities," Rabyj said.
A review will now be done to determine how Wilton escaped.
Wilton is described as 5 feet, 8 inches tall and 154 lbs. He has brown eyes and black hair.
He also has several tattoos, including 'Wilton' on his left lower arm, a spiderweb, feather, and 'Wilton' on his right lower arm, a rose on his right lower leg, and a cross and feathers on his back.
Wilton was 82 days into a one year sentence for possession of firearms, failure to comply and possession of stolen property.
Anyone who has seen Wilton or has information that could lead to his return to custody is asked to contact their local police service, RCMP, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Results tagged ' Junior Lake '
7/30 Extra bases
Updates on Arrieta, Baker, Lake and Rizzo
* The Cubs recalled right-hander Jake Arrieta from Triple-A Iowa, and he will be the 26th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers. Arrieta will make his Cubs debut, starting the second game of the twinbill. Arrieta, 27, was the Orioles' Opening Day starter in 2012. He was acquired from Baltimore as part of the Scott Feldman deal on July 2. In five starts at Triple-A Iowa, Arrieta was 1-2 with a 4.03 ERA.
* Tuesday's day-night doubleheader was the Cubs first at Wrigley Field since June 28, 2011, when they played two against the Giants. Chicago did play a twinbill in Cincinnati last Aug. 18.
* Scott Baker can take his time rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. The Cubs had hoped the right-hander would start this year, but there isn't as much of a need as last season when they were scrambling to find starters. In his fourth rehab start on Monday, Baker gave up two runs, one earned, on three hits and two walks over 3 1/3 innings for Class A Daytona against Fort Myers. Baker threw 65 pitches, struck out two, and served up a solo home run to Matt Koch in the fourth. In three previous rehab outings with Class A Kane County, Baker was charged with 13 runs on 17 hits and six walks over 8 2/3 innings.
Dale Sveum said Tuesday that Baker's velocity was a little better in Monday's outing.
"Sixty five pitches in 3 1/3 innings, that's 20 pitches per inning again," Sveum said. "He's still not getting quick outs and what you want done in a 65-pitch outing."
The Cubs have dealt two-fifths of their rotation — Matt Garza and Scott Feldman — but were better prepared this season to fill the gaps, inserting Carlos Villanueva and promoting lefty Chris Rusin. Jake Arrieta, acquired from the Orioles in the Feldman deal, started the second game of the Cubs' doubleheader Tuesday.
"We're not too concerned [about Baker] because right now, we don't have a need right now, and we're OK with everything," Sveum said. "It's just kind of a slow development for him right now. We don't have a big need right now for a starting pitcher and we're OK with things progressing at a slow rate."
* The best way for Junior Lake to learn how to play the outfield is by playing. Lake, who had been an infielder primarily coming up through the Cubs system, has played only in the outfield since he was promoted July 19.
"You can't replace the reps in a game in center field and the outfield," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "You can kind of simulate infield because of ground balls but the outfield. It's very difficult to simulate balls over your head and in the gap and other outfielders running for the same ball. Outfield is a lot of reps to get going out there."
The Cubs are hoping Lake gets more playing time in the outfield in winter ball. Sveum wouldn't rule out having the athletic Lake switch to third if needed.
"He's the kind of guy you want covering a lot of space," Sveum said. "It looks like he can go get 'em."
* Anthony Rizzo will host his first "Cook-Off for Cancer" on Aug. 14 at Cafe Brauer in Chicago. Notable Chicago chefs will prepare ballpark food as only they can, and the dishes will be served by Cubs players. Guests will vote for their favorite chef by tipping their Cubs server. All tips and event proceeds will benefit pediatric cancer research, care and support. The event will take place from 6-10 p.m. CT. Among the chefs participating are Giuseppe Tentori of GT Fish and Oyster; Tony Priolo of Piccolo Sogno; Nate Henssler of Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab; Cosmo Goss of Publican; Jimmy Bannos of the Purple Pig; Mark Sparacino of Proseco; and David Burns, Wrigley Field's executive chef. Tickets are $200, and available on Cubs.com/cook.
Rizzo also will celebrate being cancer free for five years when he hosts his second Walk-Off for Cancer on Dec. 15 in Parkland, Fla., at Pine Trails Park. The walk will begin at 9 a.m. ET.

7/29 Lake effect
When Junior Lake arrived at Wrigley Field for his first home game on Monday, his gear was stowed in a prime space. Lake was given Alfonso Soriano's locker in the Cubs' clubhouse. Lake has been in Chicago before but never played at Wrigley until Monday. The young outfielder opened the season on fire, with 15 hits in his first 30 at-bats, but is 0-for-13 since an infield single in the sixth last Thursday. Manager Dale Sveum said they aren't worried.
"No, we're not going to panic over an 0-for-13 [stretch]," Sveum said. "He had to face [Tim] Lincecum, [Madison] Bumgarner and [Matt] Cain, so you're facing Cy Young's and guys that have done a lot of good things in their careers.
"Those are the things that, for a kid like him with the ability that he has, is the experience we talked about," Sveum said. "That's why you want some guys to be here a little bit earlier sometimes to get that taste and see Major League pitching on an everyday basis sometimes and have to make those adjustments."
With the departure of Soriano via trade, Lake has taken over in left field, and will start in center against left-handed pitchers. Outfielder Brian Bogusevic is rehabbing in Mesa, Ariz., from a strained left hamstring. Will Lake stay the remainder of the season? Sveum said there's been no discussion about sending Lake back to Triple-A Iowa.
"As far as I'm concerned, he's going to be in there pretty much every day unless I feel he needs a day off," Sveum said.

7/25 What's next?
How do the Cubs fill the opening in the lineup with the pending departure of Alfonso Soriano?
"You say you're prepared for it, but I don't think you're really prepared to lose somebody of that nature," Dale Sveum said Thursday. "All the things he brings to a team, the fourth hole, the character, the clubhouse, the leadership and everything. You just don't replace that."
Soriano was pulled from Thursday's Cubs lineup against the Arizona Diamondbacks at the request of president of baseball operations Theo Epstein, and appears to be headed to the Yankees.
Physically, Sveum said he'll mix and match in the outfield, using rookie Junior Lake as well as Cole Gillespie in left field. Brian Bogusevic, on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring, could return in early August.
The Cubs may decide to add a pitcher when they make a roster move rather than an outfielder because the bullpen has been overworked, and they have a doubleheader coming up on Tuesday.
Soriano, 37, was one of the few veterans in the clubhouse.
"You have [Kevin] Gregg, DeJesus, and other than that, it's a lot of young guys," Sveum said. "With the addition of Lake, now we're getting pretty young."
The Cubs were busy at the Trade Deadline last year, and this season, have made six deals before July 31. The only players who were on the Chicago roster when Jim Hendry was the general manager are Starlin Castro, Darwin Barney, Welington Castillo and Jeff Samardzija.
The Cubs may find another left fielder, but can't replace Soriano's professionalism.
"You don't replace that," Sveum said. "Hopefully, down the road you do. You don't have a Band-aid right now to replace that kind of guy in your clubhouse."

7/24 Cubs 7, D-Backs 6 (12 innings)
Nate Schierholtz has been the Cubs most consistent hitter with runners on base for most of the season, and he came through at the right time Wednesday night. Schierholtz drove in a career-high five runs, hitting a three-run homer in the fifth and a game-winning RBI double in the 12th, to lift the Cubs to a 7-6 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are trying to keep pace with the Dodgers in the National League West.
Schierholtz was shut down for the Cubs' final two games before the All-Star break because of nagging injuries, and admitted Wednesday that the rest helped.
"I'm feeling a lot better now," Schierholtz said. "The All-Star break definitely helped, and so did the cortisone shot. I feel like I'm doing well now, and I'm trying to help the team."
With two outs and the game tied at 6 against David Hernandez in the 12th, Anthony Rizzo walked to set up Schierholtz's double into the left-field corner. Schierholtz's previous high was three RBIs, done four times, most recently April 23, 2012, against the Mets.
Rizzo and rookie Junior Lake each hit RBI doubles for the Cubs, now 7-3 in extra-inning games this season. Chicago had only reliever Michael Bowden in the bullpen by the 12th.
"We were going to have to have the re-entry rule," Dale Sveum jokingly said.
Jeff Samardzija scattered six hits over 5 2/3 innings, throwing a season-high 118 pitches. Arizona had two on and two outs in the sixth when he was pulled, and Paul Goldschmidt greeted Blake Parker with a three-run homer, his 22nd, to cut the Cubs' lead to 6-5.

7/24 DeJesus returns
David DeJesus, sidelined since June 24 with a sprained right shoulder, was activated from the disabled list on Wednesday, and Dave Sappelt optioned to Triple-A Iowa. The next question, though, is how long will DeJesus stay with the Cubs?
DeJesus was injured when he crashed into the outfield wall at Citi Field. He played four rehab games for the Cubs' Rookie League team.
"When I'm at the plate, I'm not really worrying about it," DeJesus said of his shoulder.
DeJesus started in center field and led off on Wednesday against the Diamondbacks. Rookie Junior Lake, who had been playing center and had 12 hits in his first five games, was shifted to left field on Wednesday.
"I thought about [the order] for 10, 15 minutes, and decided just get Lake at the top of the lineup, and it doesn't matter first or second," Dale Sveum said. "DeJesus' game is built for that spot. I've got 'Laker' in the second spot."
DeJesus' name has been mentioned in trade rumors, and Theo Epstein did take time to talk to the outfielder, but not about a possible move. Instead, Epstein wanted to thank DeJesus, and tell him how much they appreciate his mentorship of the younger players. DeJesus showed that during his rehab stint with the Rookie League players, many of whom are teenagers.
"He's a really good baseball player, lived up to his contract, he's a left-handed bat who has the exact approach we're trying to teach in this organization," Epstein said. "There's a lot of value to having him here. That said, will we make him untouchable? No — no one's untouchable. We'll sit and weigh out the options and what's best for the Cubs."
DeJesus was prepared.

7/23 DBacks 10, Cubs 4
For just the third time in 20 starts this season, Travis Wood failed to record a quality start. Martin Prado hit a game-tying home run and A.J. Pollock drove in four runs to help Patrick Corbin win his 12th game and power the Diamondbacks to a 10-4 victory Tuesday night over Wood and the Cubs.
Wood was vying for his 18th quality start, and had a tough opponent in the Diamondbacks and Corbin, who was the Cubs' lefty's teammate on the National League All-Star team. This was the second time this season that two All-Stars squared off in their first starts after the break. Corbin served up one run on four hits over six innings, while Wood was charged with four runs over 5 2/3 innings.
Wood, who began the day tied with Clayton Kershaw and Adam Wainwright for the National League lead in quality starts, failed to notch No. 18 in his last start before the All-Star break on July 14 against the Cardinals. His only other non-quality start was May 25 against the Reds.
Nate Schierholtz smacked a pinch-hit, two-run homer in the eighth for the Cubs, but the D-Backs collected 16 hits in the game. Junior Lake posted another multi-hit game, finishing with three hits, including a solo homer in the ninth. Lake is now 12-for-22 in five games.
Arizona, which won for the second time in its last six games, is trying to keep pace with the Dodgers in the NL West.

7/23 Cubs lineup
Junior Lake is back at the top of the Cubs' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks. This will be Travis Wood's first start after the All-Star break. Here's the lineup:
Lake CF
Castro SS
Rizzo 1B
Soriano LF
Ransom 3B
Navarro C
Gillespie RF
Barney 2B
T. Wood P
7/22 Cubs 4, D-Backs 2
Junior Lake had his first four-hit night, and hit his first Major League home run, to lead the Cubs to a 4-2 victory over the Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Lake belted a two-run shot in the fifth, and added a RBI single in the ninth to back Chris Rusin, who made a strong bid for the vacancy in the Cubs rotation. Rusin was subbing for Matt Garza, traded to the Rangers earlier in the day. The lefty would like to stay. He gave up two hits, including a bloop double that landed between Lake and shortstop Starlin Castro, and walked two over five-plus innings. Dioner Navarro, who had been matched up with Garza over his last six outings, still got the start Monday, and the catcher delivered a solo home run with one out in the second.
Lake now has nine hits in his first four career games, the most by a Cubs player since Andy Pafko did so in 1943. Lake also is the first Cubs player with a four-hit effort within his first four Major League games since Steve Lake (no relation) did so April 26, 1983, against the Padres.
"He might have found his niche right now," Dale Sveum said of Lake, who has been playing center.
When promoted, it was thought that Lake would stay until David DeJesus returned from a shoulder injury. DeJesus is close to returning. Will the rookie stay?
"Right now, I'd be pretty stupid to say, 'No,'" Sveum said. "Hopefully, we don't have to send him down."
Said Lake: "I'm going to keep working hard to make it hard on the front office. If you keep working hard, something happens."
Rusin will stay in the rotation, filling the spot vacated by Matt Garza's departure.

7/20 Cubs lineup
Junior Lake gets his second start in center field Saturday night when the Cubs face the Rockies. Here's the lineup:
Valbuena 3B
Castro SS
Rizzo 1B
Soriano LF
Schierholtz RF
Lake CF
Barney 2B
Castillo C
Villanueva P
7/20 Extra bases
* Jeff Samardzija made two trips to Wrigley Field over the All-Star break to work with pitching coach Chris Bosio, and the sessions paid off on Friday. He gave up one run over 7 1/3 innings in leading the Cubs to a 3-1 victory over the Rockies.
"If you were to ask me all year how I felt about my mechanics, I'd say they were off all year, to tell you the truth, until today," Samardzija told reporters in Denver, including MLB.com's Ian McCue. "So I'm really excited to stop making adjustments and really just work on pitch selection and pitch location.
"I just attacked them and went at it and once I felt like I got them sped up, my splitter was good enough to get me through the rest of the inning," Samardzija said.
The series-opening victory was the Cubs' seventh in the last 10. The club is also improved 14 games over .500 when their starter earns a quality start.
Defense saved Chicago from throwing away the lead in the fourth. Michael Cuddyer punched a single to right after Troy Tulowitzki singled to a similar spot, and the Rockies shortstop was at third when a splitter skipped through the legs of catcher Wellington Castillo. But Castillo rifled a throw to Samardzija at home plate with enough velocity to tag out Tulowitzki and end the inning, the Cubs starter tumbling to the ground before walking to the dugout.
"That's one of those things you don't write up," Samardzija said. "It's just a freak play and it worked out in our favor."
* Alfonso Soriano leads the Cubs with 17 home runs and 10 stolen bases, and he's batting .319 (22-for-69) with five doubles, 10 homers, 20 RBI and a 1.169 OPS in his last 17 games since June 28. He has homered in five of his last 10 games, including multi-homer efforts July 6 vs. Pittsburgh and July 9 vs. the Angels.
Soriano is the fifth Cub to have entered the All-Star break with the team lead (or tied for the team lead) in both home runs and stolen bases, joining Augie Galan in 1937, George Altman in 1961, Ryne Sandberg in 1990, and Sammy Sosa in 1993, 1994 and 1998.
In addition to Soriano's home run totals, he is 13 hits shy of becoming the 273rd player in Major League history to reach 2,000 hits. Only 15 active players have reached the milestone to date (Cleveland's Jason Giambi has 1,991 hits).
* Junior Lake made his Major League debut Friday as the Cubs' starting center fielder, going 3-for-4 with a double in his first plate appearance. Lake is the 44th player to appear for the Cubs this season, already just nine players shy of the franchise-record 53 players who appeared last year.
"Since I've been here that's the first kid that's come up and really looked like a Major Leaguer," Dale Sveum said. "Was aggressive on the bases, did a great job. Swung the bat really nice."
Before Friday's game, Sveum thought about placing the speedy Lake in the leadoff spot. But that plan changed quickly when Lake told his skipper he planned to swing at the first pitch — and true to his words, he did — roping a double down the third-base line.
"I was just positive the whole time," Lake said through a translator. "I think once you have that mindset going in the game, you're ready for it and you have that kind of attitude, I think a lot of the things go your way."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) - Northgate Gonzalez Markets may be the biggest Southern California supermarket chain you've never heard of.
That's set to change after first lady Michelle Obama visits the site of a future Northgate Gonzalez Market in Inglewood on Wednesday to showcase efforts being made to draw grocers to low-income neighborhoods.
Obama, who is on the second day of her two-day visit to the Los Angeles area, is making the stop as part of her "Let's Move!" campaign to boost healthy food and fitness.
Part of the campaign includes promoting initiatives such as the new $264 million California FreshWorks Fund, which finances grocery businesses in areas underserved by traditional supermarkets.
One of the fund's first projects was a $20 million loan to Northgate, which operates 34 supermarkets in Southern California.

Inauguration Night Life: The Media Elite and Other Stars

Meet the Press to Be Hosted by Shapeless Gray Void
According to this story that an NBC-owned website pulled from the Associated Press, NBC is rumored to finally be ready — six months after Tim Russert's death — to announce an official replacement host for Meet the Press. Almost.
Now, when you hear the name, you'll most likely think to yourself "Gregory who?" But that's a very naive response.
The correct response should be "David who?"
NBC News is close to naming chief White House correspondent David Gregory as Tim Russert's replacement on the top-ranked Sunday political talk show "Meet the Press," a network executive said Tuesday.
Gregory is negotiating terms of a deal that would give him the job, said the NBC News executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal wasn't final.
For those of you familiar with MSNBC's early evening programing, you might recognize David Gregory as the hour-long blank space on your television screen between Chris Matthews at 5 pm and Chris Matthews at 7 pm.
I knew that NBC was looking to find a replacement who could match the depth and strength of Tim Russert's personality.
I'd just assumed that they meant before Russert's heart attack.

Not out of luck with Crane
To the Editor:
Crane Appliance is one of those Island businesses that Islanders love to hate. You can get it so much cheaper off-Island or online, is the comment most heard. People talk about their bad experiences but rarely their good ones.
A few weeks ago, our less than one-year-old flat screen TV went black in the middle of a show. We tried all the usual reboot things — cable was working fine and there was definitely power to the TV, but there was no picture or sound. We called LG as the manual told us to do. They told us that yes, it is under warranty and to call Sandwich TV, the authorized service place "in your area." We called Sandwich, left a message and waited. We received no call back the next day so we called Crane's service number. Well, they told us that yes, they would pick it up (since it is a 55-inch TV it would be difficult for us to bring it to them), send it off-Island to be repaired, and bring it back to us and all for a very nominal fee. And they were even really nice about it!
The next day we heard from Sandwich TV. They were nice, too, and said they would be happy to take care of our problem until they heard we were on Martha's Vineyard. "Oh, you are out of luck!" the guy said, and that is a direct quote. He continued on and told me that they have told LG that it just doesn't make financial sense for them to send a truck over to service customers. So I said, "Gee, I guess that makes my warranty useless," and he agreed. So much for LG customer service.
So without Crane standing behind the products they sell we would have been, as the guy said, out of luck. So next time you are thinking about buying something that might actually need to be serviced, particularly under the warranty, think about buying on Island. You might just get the service you need and pleasantly so. We got that from Crane.

Any money you spend here, with a good, established business, tends to stay here, It may cost you an extra buck or two, but it will come back. Imagine the economic benefits of a circular economy here. I've always wondered if the cost of the boat, gas , and time , truly equal a savings from shopping from off island.

November 27, 2014
One of the best problems a church can have is too many people. Such is the case for the Heartland Community Church located in the Colonial Village Mall in Rockford. The church's auditorium seats sixteen-hundred, but around two-thousand adults have been showing up for the Sunday morning service. So in order to immediately accomodate the increase in attendance Heartland has repurchased their old building located off Perryville Road. Fortunately for them the previous owners haven't touched the building since they bought it from the church in 2006.
The church's directional leader, Mark Bankford says, "The amazing news was that they hadn't touched it since we walked out, so it's left exactly they way it was and we knew it worked well back then. I mean literally the vaccum cleaner was still sitting where we left it." The old church auditorium can accomodate up to eight-hundred fifty parishoners. Mark says this should take care of the overflow for some time.

"Corpse Girl for the win!"
You really should read the first 2 books in this series before you pick up Ex-Communication. Many of the occurrences in this book are tied to the events and actions that took place in the first 2 books and having that context is necessary. Besides, if you like the first 2 books then you'll be reading/listening to this one in no time at all. All of the Heroes will seem like old friends by the time you get here and you'll be glad to spend more time with them.
Similar to the start of Book 2, Ex-Communication reveals that the Heroes have been busy in between books. The wall around The Mount has been extended and the relationships between the Heroes have grown as well. Legion is getting smarter and his ability to control the zombie horde is advancing. In addition to adding a new Hero to the mix (Corpse Girl) Peter Clines provides more insight and background to events from the first 2 books. Amongst other things, we learn why Zzzap has been talking to himself and why Dr. Sorensen insisted his daughter wasn't dead.
It started with Super-Heroes and Zombies, then came the Super-Soldiers, and now Demons and Sorcery emerge to take center stage with a little nano-technology thrown in for good measure. At first I wasn't thrilled that Clines went in this direction, but after a while I got over it and just went along for the ride. This is more comic book style storytelling delivered in the same "Then" and "Now" format we are used to. The cast of narrators is once again outstanding, so if you are a fan of the series then you will gobble this up quickly.
"Pull up a chair at the inn and give a listen..."
Kvothe is a legend and everyone has heard of him. Sure the tales often differ and contradict each other but here is your chance to sort out the truth from the exaggerations. Rothfuss offers you the opportunity to hear Kvothe's story from the man himself and who could pass up an opportunity like that? Grab a chair and a mug and settle in for a long listen.
What makes this an excellent book is the detail of the world that Patrick Rothfuss has created. I always love a detailed magic system in fantasy literature and there is more than one of them to be had in the Kingkiller Chronicles. Kvothe's tale starts when he is young and the listener learns about the various magics in the world right along with him. The style and structure of the story really isn't anything new, but it's done really well. I am amazed at the level of detail provided and yet it is obvious that the surface has barely been scratched. There is a lot more to come in the subsequent books and I am looking forward to them.
So why only 4 stars if everything was so great? Well it took me over half the book to feel like I was really in a fantasy world. For me, Kvothe's language was too much like my own and Podehl's narration only reinforced that feeling. Despite the content it just didn't "feel" like a fantasy book of swords and sorcery. The good news is that I got over it and I am now happily listening to book two. So if you start listening and have that same feeling don't give up - it will pass and you will be glad you stuck it out.
"A series that ends on a high note!"
Volume 3 of the Riyria Revelations contains the final two books of the series, book #5 Wintertide and book #6 Percepliquis. Michael J. Sullivan and Tim Gerard Reynolds reunite to bring all of the main characters back for a final crescendo. Unlike Volume 2 which leaves the listener hanging, Volume 3 ties every thing up nicely.
If you have enjoyed the first two volumes of this series then you are in for a treat as Percepliquis is definitely the best book of the entire series. Not only is it the most entertaining but Sullivan also goes the extra mile to bring all of the threads together. He masterfully weaves a complex tale full of suspense with big reveals and satisfying ends to the many character storylines. Royce and Hadrian are at their best here and I found myself laughing aloud many times.
Stop wasting time reading reviews and spend that credit. You will not be disappointed.
"48 more hours of Sanderson goodness!"
When I wrote my (too) short review of the first book in this series, The Way of Kings, I ended it with this sentence: "This book is so good I will gladly listen to it again as a refresher when book two comes out!"
Well I am back to say that I followed through on my promise and it was worth every second. The Stormlight Archive is epic fantasy at it's best and Sanderson shows why he is at the top of my must read/listen list. Here I am fresh off of investing close to 94 hours of my life listening to books 1 and 2 of the Stormlight Archive and I am ready for more.
The world is rich and deep, the characters are complex, and the magic systems are true Sanderson - well defined, unique, and interesting. All of the main characters are back and the story just gets bigger and bigger. For most authors the end of this book would be a satisfying conclusion to any series but it is obvious that this one is just getting started. Sanderson set the bar so awfully high with the Mistborn series that I am truly impressed he was able to surpass himself with the Stormlight Archive.
Veteran narrators Michael Kramer and Kate Reading are back and once again breathe life into all of the great characters. It was a pleasure to listen to them both for 90+ hours and I can't wait for book three. These two know epic fantasy and combine with Sanderson to form a perfect highstorm of epic proportions.
If you like fantasy books then you will feel like a kid in a candy store here. It is time for you to run up to the counter and plunk down your credit(s) to enjoy this wonderful experience. You won't find more hours of entertainment for so little cost anywhere else. Of course you should start with The Way of Kings but be assured that 94 listening hours later you will find yourself back at the candy store counter standing on your tip toes and holding up another credit. Of course, I will be standing right next to you. :)
"Solid Middle Books of the Series"
Although Volume 2 of the Ryria Revelations contains two books, Nyphron Rising and The Emerald Storm, I still felt how I usually feel after reading the middle book of a good trilogy - unsatisfied with how things are left off and ready for more.
Royce and Hadrian continue their adventures and do some digging into their pasts, while Arista sets off on her own and faces some serious challenges. Each of the characters is flushed out some and the bigger picture continues to come into focus. For me, The Emerald Storm was a bit of a tangent and did not advance the main storyline as much as I would have hoped, but any story involving Royce and Hadrian is entertaining so I'm not complaining.
Tim Gerard Reynolds does his normal excellent job bringing the characters to life and at this point I could not imagine anyone else voicing them. So if you enjoyed Volume 1 there is no reason to hesitate on picking this one up, just keep in mind that the story doesn't end here and you will have to pick up Volume 3 as well.
"Fun Short Story"
John Scalzi teams up with his friend Wil Wheaton again to deliver Fuzzy Nation, an entertaining short story set on a distant planet. Although this is a modern re-write of an older story it is still obvious that the original story is from a simpler time. Wheaton does his usual solid job as a narrator. He reads well but he doesn't do a lot of voices so his performances are slightly limited compared to some of the other narrators.
This is a classic tale of a corporation exploiting resources for profit and destroying the environment until a new life form is discovered - the "Fuzzies". There is an ensuing legal battle to protect the home world of the "Fuzzies" as scientists and lawyers square off with differing opinions. The moral compass of certain characters waver as vast sums of money are weighed against the protection of this newly discovered species. Scalzi injects his usual humor into the story and 7 hours felt about right for this one.
Although predictable at times if you are looking for a short, light sci-fi story then Fuzzy Nation will serve you well. Not quite a 4 star tale for me and I would have given it 3.5 stars if allowed.
"Decent Zombie "Journal""
This Zombie novel is delivered as a series of journal entries from a military man who just happens to start keeping a journal prior to the start of the apocalypse. This format works fairly well although as the book goes on some of the entries no longer feel like realistic journal entries. They are too long and detailed and instead feel like chapters in a normal story which works out fine.
Overall this book is less than 7 hours total and there is only so much that can be done in that time frame. At times things feel rushed as the main character has emotional highs and lows that don't match the amount of time that has passed in the book. I listened to this on a long drive and it kept me entertained but felt incomplete when it ended. This is an intro to the series and should be approached as such.
If you are like me and want background details into the root cause of the apocalypse then you should know that little information is ever provided, which in the end feels appropriate for the journal entry format used. As usual Jay Snyder does an excellent job narrating and although I wasn't left with a burning desire to listen to book 2 immediately I am sure I will eventually get to it on another long drive in the future.
"Entertaining from beginning to end!"
The basic ingredients here are pretty typical for a fantasy series: multiple races, a religious mythos, plots & politics, and of course, swords & sorcery. However, Michael J. Sullivan and Tim Gerard Reynolds combine to prepare those ingredients in a masterful way that makes the whole greater than the sum of the parts. Reynolds in particular does an excellent array of voices and seems to fits the material very well.
The main characters, Royce and Hadrian, both have a sense of humor which keeps the tale humorous and entertaining throughout. Although they are both thieves who take jobs for morally ambiguous individuals, they maintain their own moral code so it is easy to root for them to succeed when things go awry. At times it can be hard to tell if Royce and Hadrian are one step ahead or one step behind but that's all part of the fun.
This audiobook is actually two books in one and well worth the single credit. The first book, The Crown Conspiracy, is a nice introduction to the characters and their surroundings and thus allows the listener to get oriented within the world. There is clearly more than meets the eye going on but the details remain hidden for the most part. In the second book, Avempartha, those details come to the forefront and the bigger picture starts to paint itself. For a while things get confusing but eventually enough details surface for it all to make sense. When book two ends there is still a lot left to sort out so the story won't feel complete without continuing on.
Theft of Swords is a worthy listen for both Fantasy veterans and newbies alike and it will leave you wanting more.
"An improbable series of events unfold..."
I picked up Reamde because the Audible blurb for this story involved an online game world, hackers, and a virus and it seemed like an interesting topic for a novel. That premise is just the tip of the iceberg and this tale veers all over the place. The main characters wind up all over the globe, and the online world of T'Rain, as spies, terrorists, smugglers, and the Russian mafia all get entangled into the plot. Every step of the way Stephenson ups the ante and the plot almost seems to run out of control.
Reamde moved along nicely but it was always just on the wrong side of being believable for me. The relationships formed by some of the characters were just too strong too quickly and the mechanics of the online gaming world of T'Rain were also just a little bit off. If you aren't an online gamer the latter may not be of concern to you at all; however, if you are picking this up because of the online game connection then you should know that it is only a small part of a much larger story. It is not as central to the tale as it was in "Ready Player One".
Reamde can be a fun thrill ride that will head in directions that aren't obvious but only pick it up if you are willing to embrace a chain of highly unlikely occurrences. Malcolm Hillgartner does a decent job of narrating although he deals with a lot of different accents to various degrees of success.
"Bean & Petra come to the forefront"
This book takes place on Earth after the Bugger War and per the author himself this book was inspired by a favorite board game from his childhood: Risk. This book presents to the listener a global game of Risk where the main players are Achilles and Peter Wiggen along with a few of the Battle School kids from Ender's Game. Political and Military maneuvering form the core of this story and Orson Scott Card has clearly put some thought into the geo-political scenarios he presents.
This book also flushes out the back stories of both Bean and Petra and the relationship between them. Bean winds up learning many key things about his own background as the story progresses and the way you view him will fundamentally change. I found Bean's backstory to be more interesting than I expected and for me this was the better part of the story.
Be warned that the recording is pretty poorly done. The readers are good but it is obvious that certain words like Hegemon were mispronounced during the recording. The solution deployed here was to edit in a different reader saying the word correctly after the fact and this makes for a pretty poor listening experience.
So if you can tolerate the poor recording and are interested in learning more about Bean and Petra then give this one a go but if you are looking for more space based Sci-Fi then you should look elsewhere.
"Interesting but not overly entertaining"
Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter team up to pen this novel with a very interesting premise: Humans figure out how to "step' which allows them to instantly teleport to an infinite number of alternate earths. Since the technology required to build a "stepper" device is readily available to almost everyone this changes civilization as we know it. Economies collapse and governments struggle to deal with the concept of governing across multiple earths.
This is an interesting concept for sure but the characters created by Pratchett & Baxter are a bit dry and not all that interesting. Pratchett's sense of humor does surface from time to time but those times are too few to carry the day. The story does get more and more interesting as the "Long Earth" is explored but when some larger plot lines eventually emerge the book ends and leaves you hanging.
Only take the plunge on this one if you are willing to pick up more than one book because as a standalone novel it feels pretty incomplete.

Another Starbucks location started selling beer and wine this week, and it looks like the coffee behemoth is taking booze seriously. The companys moving forward with its Starbucks Evenings menu, which also includes small plates like bacon-wrapped dates, truffle macaroni and cheese, and chocolate fondue. Its all part of Starbuckss greater plan for world takeover through nonbranded coffee shops; apparently theres even a sommelier at Starbucks HQ (enlighten us: Which wine pairs well with a pumpkin-spice latte? Does Riesling or Chardonnay complement a mediocre pound cake?). Right now, the stores with Starbucks Evenings are limited to Chicago, Seattle, Washington, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Portland, and Washington, D.C., but the companys already feeling it out in New York. Yikes. This could go down as the worst date spot ever. [HuffPo, Earlier]

Red Hot Marketing Tip: More Color on the Outer Envelope ... and LetterNovember 2, 2011
Please install the latest version of Flash to view this content. You can find the latest version of Flash here: Flash
At DMIQ, perhaps our favorite category among the 200-strong group housed in the Who's Mailing What! Archive is "Cultural Organizations." These folks — museums, zoos, aquariums, etc. — spend money in their direct mail programs because they know that's the chute where the bulk of their members emerge from. Of course, some efforts hit the mark, and some miss.
This week's episode with Chief Content Officer Ethan Boldt features Longwood Gardens, and it hits the mark. Highlights include:
- Certain colors can improve response. Does this bright outer work for most prospects?
- The standard 4-page direct mail letter is often white and two separate pages. Not here, as Longwood uses images of the Gardens throughout and seals the letter on the side.
- Calls to action and the reply form are so often overlooked in the package, but they're absolutely key to response. Longwood aces both elements in this effort.

TOP STORY, DEC.: Commissioners vary on city manager review
Date: January 4, 2010
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
Throughout the holiday week, YourObserver.com will be counting down the top 12 stories of 2009 (one from each month) from our Longboat, East County and Sarasota Observers. Check back each day fro a reprinting — and any relevant updates — of the biggest news items of the year.
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED Dec. 10, 2009
As two annual job-performance reviews were discussed at the City Commission this week, Commissioner Suzanne Atwell reiterated her displeasure with the system.
"It's flawed and … clumsy," she said.
The commission was going over its evaluations of City Manager Bob Bartolotta and City Attorney Robert Fournier. The reviews use a numeric system that gives three grading options, which are assigned scores:
•Exceeds expectations: Three points
•Meets expectations: Two points
•Below expectations: One point
Atwell said the system relies too much on the scoring system instead of interviews of employees. She also doesn't like the fact that the process is played out on live television, which is something she calls "unprofessional and embarrassing to the city," because Bartolotta, in particular, is unable to respond.
Last month, she proposed hiring a consultant to conduct the reviews, but her four fellow commissioners said they were satisfied with the current system.
This week, Atwell said she hopes to persuade them to change their minds before next year's evaluations.
As far as this year's review, commissioners' opinions on the city manager's performance are dramatically different.
For instance, Commissioner Fredd Atkins felt Bartolotta didn't exceed expectations in any of the 19 skills and tasks that are graded. Vice Mayor Kelly Kirschner only gave one "exceeds expectations" grade.
But Mayor Dick Clapp, on the other hand, believed the city manager exceeded expectations in 14 of the 19 categories.
Kirschner gave 10 "below expectations" scores, while Clapp gave none.
Making the grade
The five city commissioners graded City Manager Bob Bartolotta on 19 different tasks and skills, ranging from promoting economic development to demonstrating leadership. See details below on how many areas exceeded, met or were below the commissioners' expectations.
Fredd Atkins
Exceeds 0
Meets 17
Below 2
Highlights: Atkins, who represents Newtown, believes Bartolotta has met expectations on Newtown redevelopment. He marked "below expectations" on economic development and using a team approach to management.
Suzanne Atwell
Exceeds 3
Meets 11
Below 5
Highlights: Atwell's three highest scores came in the area of budget management. She praised Bartolotta's fiscal responsibility. The five lowest scores all pertained to leadership, communication and customer service.
Dick Clapp
Exceeds 14
Meets 5
Below 0
Highlights: Clapp's evaluation was the highest of the five. In contrast to the other four commissioners, he said Bartolotta exceeded expectations in the areas of leadership, communication and customer service.
Kelly Kirschner
Exceeds 1
Meets 8
Below 10
Highlights: Kirschner provided the harshest evaluation, giving only one "exceeds expectations" score, which was for managing the city's property. He gave Bartolotta as many "below expectations" as the other four combined.
Terry Turner
Exceeds 4
Meets 12
Below 3
Highlights: Turner's top marks were for fiscal responsibility, Newtown redevelopment and knowledge of the city's inner workings. Failing grades were given for leadership, communication and team approach to management.

Clear download area (some are not)
I have use the K2 data-source connection which is simply a delight. (I have also tested the Joomla standard data-source which works the same)
I had a problem using it on a test site using Joomla 3 and the support was amazing.
It now looks great and many thanks for the incredible high speed, faster than instant response.
Is it possible to have a negative timed response?....Yes!!
For anyone reading this. I created a new super-user login. Before I had then written on the support board I could see the login had been used. Very impressive. They actually had to wait for me to write up my problem on their board.
For those interested, the working version on my site is now 1.3.2, up from the download I had which was 1.3.0
Many thanks again for sharing and it looks just what I needed and was hoping for.

Other menus I have tried clearly pick and used their colour properties for the CSS but I didn't want this.
This menu allows you to select and set the look and feel in the basic menu module properties.
It is simply "simple", it worked first time, did exactly what I needed and I didn't read a single help file other than a couple of the mouse over prompts on the settings.
Many thanks for sharing a great menu.

In a time when increasing numbers of people are tuning out the nightly news and media consumption is falling, the late-night comedians have become some of the most important newscasters in the country. From Cronkite to Colbert explains why. It examines an historical path that begins at the height of the network age with Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow, when the evening news was considered the authoritative record of the day's events and forged our assumptions about what "the news" is, or should be. The book then winds its way through the breakdown of that paradigm of "real" news and into its reinvention in the unlikely form of such popularized shows as The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. From Cronkite to Colbert makes the case that rather than "fake news," those shows should be understood as a new kind of journalism, one that has the potential to save the news and reinvigorate the conversation of democracy in today's society.

A friend played it on a MacBook Pro with G-force 8600 at 128 Mb of rams and still worked pretty smooth on low details.
Another friend played on a Athlon X2 4200+ 2gb of ram and G-force 8500 GT with 512 Mb and it worked in medium details.
Minimum System Requirements:
- Windows XP or Vista
- Dual core processor (Intel Pentium D or better)
- 256MB Direct3D 10 compatible video card, or Direct3D 9 card compatible with Shader Model 3.0 or higher
- DirectX compatible driver
- DVD-ROM dual-layer drive
- 16 GB free hard disk space
- DirectX libraries (included)
- Vista compatible sound card

County Government matters and works for the people when it delivers core services that address regional problems.
To say it in British English, I've always thought that the BBC get a good laugh at our expense because of the way we Americans love any and every program they export to us, no matter how dreadful it is.
Our country is facing many challenges, and much time and media coverage is given to these issues.
Like other savvy Cape Codders – even if we are Washashores -- my husband and I considered ourselves prepared for Superstorm Nemo.
On Monday morning, my cell phone began sending signals of missed calls and waiting text messages around 6:15. My eyes still hadn't adjusted to the internal strain as, without eye glasses, I read, "Pope Announces Resignation!" There are, indeed, some things you just can't make up.

The Complexities of Color Summit is an answer to the cries of those that desire to see greater interracial understanding and thereby harmony among people groups. Under one roof, we will assemble some of the foremost intellectuals on the subject of race, classism and sexism in American culture. Conversations about race and its impact on contemporary culture, has long been avoided because of, not only, its complexity, but also, its innate difficulties. This conversation is not for the faint of heart but rather for the courageous who dare to see a fully functional and racially harmonious society.
