Regulars at Nadia's nature lodge don't ask what she does in the off-season. And that's a good thing. If she told them, she'd have to kill them. She's a hit woman for a Mafia family. Tough and self-sufficient, Nadia doesn't owe anyone any explanations. But that doesn't mean she always works alone. One of her contacts has recruited her in the hunt for a ruthlessly efficient serial killer cutting a swath of terror across the country. The assassin is far too skilled to be an amateur - and the precision of the killings is bringing the Feds much too close to the hit man community for comfort. To put an end to the murders, Nadia will have to turn herself from predator to prey as she employs every trick she knows to find the killer. Before the killer finds her….

Audible has been a lifesaver as I continue to go through the process of physical recovery.
"some strong elements, but...."
In the beginning I was thinking I'd found a great new author for my collection. A strong main character and a good plot line in the first few chapters soon devolved into an overly detailed mess. The constant back and forth inside the mind of the female protagonist soon became tiring. As did the moody non-communicative 'mentor' Jack. The protagonists patience with and submission to this character became tiresome as well. If three or four hours had been eliminated from this selection this might have been an excellent listen. As it was, it became a tiresome slog through the underbelly of criminal society. Ms. Armstrong is a talented writer and the book was well narrated. Hopefully her next mystery book will avoid the short comings of Exit Strategy.
NYT writer of romantic suspense with a serious addiction to audiobooks.
Jennifer Ikeda does such an outstanding job on this that I can't imagine it without her voice. She does everyone so well, including the male characters, that I'm searching for more of her work.
When Jack makes Nadia hot chocolate.
She's the perfect voice for Nadia, helping you get into the complicated heart and soul and mind of a contract killer, plus her Irish brogue for Jack is downright sexy.
The scene when Jack's leaning over her and she begins to realize she's attracted to him. Plus the scene in the closet.
This is violent, fascinating, angst, funny, and the romance is so subtle it's deliciously addictive. Jennifer Ikeda does a great job of bringing out out a wonderful story, and Richard Ferrone's villain and victim POV are excellent as well.
"Loved it!"
Absolutely. It kept me bitting my nails start to finish. I like the characters and the focus on human emotions and non-verbal communication.
Jack I suppose. He's enigmatic and with his silences and grunts leaves a lot to be interpreted.
When Jack and Nadia go back to Evelyn's house and they are all pointing guns at each other.
I want to get the rest of the series!!!
"Female narrator not for me"
I have read the book, years back, and liked it. Instead of re-reading, I bought the audible to listen to in the car.
I like Kelley Armstrongs writing, it is solid, and she is a master at suspense.
Kristine Hvam is one of my favourites
Reminder to myself: always listen to the complete audible sample: the narrator can really ruin a very good book, if she/he is not your cup of tea.

Hi, I just sooooo wanted to compliment your company on your food. My dog Bridgett (french bulldog/boston terrier) had such severe food allergies that it was super serious. She was being monitored at the vet for everything as she would have constant vomiting within mins. of eating and uncontrollable diarrhea. we tried multiple foods that the vet recommended with not very good results, they did try a fish & potato but it was another brand & although she stopped throwing up & having the runs, she bagan licking her feet & being itchy~ after much trial & tribulation had your sweet potato and fish come recommenede to me...It's been the best thing ever for Bridgett~ She only rarely vomits after eating & that is purely due to the fact that she swallows alot of air with that flat face & burps alot after eating & rarely some food will come up.She has totally regular stools and only goes 2x's aday she I know she is absorbing more nutrients & getting the most out of her food. I am MOST happy that you have treats with this too, as my poor baby can't have any treats unless we risk tummy issues.(she has an obsession with string cheese & popcorn ) we are still cautious with her and It has been a wonderful experience on your food:)
At the suggestion of a friend, I changed my dog's food to NB limited ingredients dry food. Zeus suffered from allergies with red eyes, a runny nose and constantly scratching his face, sometimes to the point of making it bleed. Within a few weeks of changing his food I noticed a huge improvement! He no longer has any signs of allergies and his fur is incredibly soft and shiny. Best of all, he loves the fish and sweet potato dry food. It has made a huge difference in his overall health. M's Star Zeus is now a registered therapy dog that works in a local pediatric nursing home. He was also honored this year by GREY2KUSA as Mr. September in their 2010 calendar featuring rescued/retired greyhounds. Thanks for making such a wonderful product!
I am involved with a pug rescue Central Florida Pug Rescue www.centralfloridapugrescue.org We reccommend that anyone who adopts from us use Natural Balance fish and sweet potato as to the best food they can feed their pugs.Pugs have alot of skin issues and this food keeps their skin in excellent condition. I personally use all Natural Balance products from treats to food. I want to thank you for developing such high quality food for our pugs. As a rescue the pugs come first. It is amazing the number of pugs that come into the rescue. thank you
Our German Shorthaired Pointed Amber had an event at age 2 years after which she started to have bloody diarrhea. After 18 months of frustration the vet got allergy testing. No corn, chicken, lamb, barley. Not sure we believed it. Tried PD foods egg/rice and still had periodic problems. After literally years of frustrating problems we decided to look for other foods. Ran across your foods by chance and voila. She now eats Fish and Sweet Potato and has never been better. No problems for 9 months. Hopefully you can continue making these unique treats and foods. Thanks so much.
This dog food is the best! Thank you, I have a lab puppy with a very sensitive stomach. I was miserable cleaning up after a housebroken pup and his stomach was just as upset. Two days after switching to the food he stopped scratching and the bowels are all better! Thanks
Brinkley and Rex Lemmons are our Golden Retrievers and they LOVE your food! I'm not sure which flavor they like the most. I do know they know those bags are for them and when I come in I get a bath because they start slobbering like crazy!

Look, I get it. It's summer and everything is burnished and everyone is making out everywhere, and that's wonderful. Please continue to do this indefinitely.
But, can we just clear something up real quick? Most love songs are just the worst. I say this as a sentimental weenie myself, one who has spent too much time falling in love and about one glass of wine away from writing to Paul Simon to say thanks for the soundtrack to my entirely unique heart, you get me.
But I have to say it: love songs suck. Love does not. When I hear a song about love that doesn't have some sort of element of the fucked up, or doesn't sound like it was written by two extraterrestrial teenagers falling in love in space on top of an octagonal drum pad spaceship…I get mad. I can't quite explain it.
Maybe it's because every part of love; the falling into it, the careening out of it, the settling down, every part of it is terrifying and wonderful and informative, and I don't believe that most songs capture it. Mostly because so many love songs seem to written with the emotional charge of filing your tax returns. I'm looking at you, John Mayer. Last time John Mayer came on in a grocery store, I could see the grease on the speakers.
If you're going to write a song about the most confusing, wonderful, awful part of life, it should sound like you care. It should sound like your brain has been warped by the outlandish magic of it and now you're an insane person and you were tripping out on the love endorphins at two in the morning and wrote this intense thing that came from a part of you that had just been shocked awake or shattered completely.
If I hear another song about love that sounds like you could switch out the name of your beloved with "chicken sandwich" I am going to start playing guitar again. No one wants that. Write a song about someone you hate! See! There! That level of feeling. I don't know, maybe try cocaine? Get weird. Love is weird. Out of all the song subjects, love is the one where everything is just inherently crazy, so get there.
Luckily I've dismounted from my high horse long enough to put together a playlist of songs that hit it just right. Think of your own! Just a Fun Summertime Activity for when your sunburn is a little too crackly to step outside.
Enjoy summer everyone! Resume your sweaty kisses, once more with feeling.
PS: I put two Ra Ra Riot songs on there because they specifically inspired this playlist. Especially on "Dance With Me" when Wes Miles sings:
Come and dance with me, pretty sweet fool
I wanna be your toy, I wanna be your toy
And yes, that's why I imagined two alien teenagers in some incandescent geodesic dome on the blurry outer edges of the Milky Way, falling in neon love with each other as asteroids whiz by their outstretched dancing arms. Of which they each have six.

Bully Ray
Real Name
Mark LoMonaco
Date of Birth
July 14, 1971
Place of Birth
Reports have surfaced that the contract between Bully Ray and TNA has now officially expired. The two sides had been trying to negotiate a new deal, but financial terms could not be met. The former world heavyweight champion is still listed on the official roster page on the TNA website. The belief is that the company might wait until a new television deal has been signed before renegotiating with some of the bigger stars.
August 25, 2014
When TNA announced at Slammiversary 2014 that Devon and Bully Ray were going to be inducted into the hall of fame, it led to a lot of speculation about the status of Devon with the company. It looks like the former television champion is making a return to TNA, as his profile has been restored on the official roster page on their website.
June 17, 2014
Rumors about AJ Lee leaving WWE have popped up again. This time, the belief is that the Divas Champion will be wrapping up with the company in December. A part of the reason why the speculations have popped up is because AJ recently started her own website, independent of the company. Some believe that she is trying to make that her main source of revenue. For what it's worth, AJ is not advertised for events at the end of December.
November 18, 2014
Speculations are floating around right now that Brad Maddox has been given a release by WWE. Many noted that his profile was moved from the current roster to the alumni section on the website. Maddox has not been used much over the last couple of months, outside of a random appearance where he was actually allowed to work as an in ring performer. No confirmation has been given by WWE yet, however.
November 14, 2014
In a move that does not come as a surprise to those that have been following the company closely, WWE has opted to release the Great Khali. His profile has been officially moved to the alumni section on the company website. Reports are saying that his contract expired, and management felt it was financially beneficial to not renew the former world heavyweight champion, even though he was considered a marketing asset.
November 14, 2014
Before the WWE Network was shoved down the throats of fans on a weekly basis, the company was promoting a social media website called Tout. They constantly mentioned the service, and they had several of their performers utilizing it to interact with the fans. WWE invested approximately $5000 into the company and signed a two year agreement. Stephanie McMahon was even on their board of directors. It looks like the deal is now over, as reports has surfaced that WWE was not interested in renewing the contract.
September 3, 2014
Back in July, Austin Aries decided to go silent on Twitter because he was protesting the decision by TNA to allow fans to vote on the return of the six sided ring. For those that are wondering, the X Division Champion has already came back to the social media website. He has been posting regularly. Aries is even promoting Impact Wrestling on there, so it looks like he's back on good terms with the company.
August 16, 2014
Those that watch Impact Wrestling already know that Low Ki is back with TNA. The former X Division Champion has also been added to the official roster page on their website. Reports are now surfacing that Low Ki isn't just back as a wrestler. He's also working as a backstage agent for the entire X division, which means that he will be in charge of scripting the stories and the matches.
July 31, 2014
TMZ has quite the fascination with WWE nowadays. The tabloid website recently reported that Nikki Bella, who recently received her real estate license, was spotted showing homes to Cameron and her boyfriend. The couple is getting pretty serious and is wanting to move in together. Cameron, who is one of the stars of Total Divas, stated that she wants a five bedroom place.
July 21, 2014
When the company moved CM Punk from their official roster to the alumni section yesterday, WWE created a bit of a stir. Things escalated even further when management removed his merchandise from the WWE Shop website. Apparently, there was some miscommunication within the company on the matter. All of his merchandise have been returned to the online store.
July 17, 2014
Reports are going around that CM Punk could be officially gone from WWE now. The former world heavyweight champion has been removed from the active roster list on the website. His profile has been moved over to the alumni section, which the company normally does when a performer is gone. Punk's contract is said to be expiring later on this week, so it's interesting that WWE pulled the trigger on the roster change ahead of time.
July 15, 2014
With the company in Japan for a tour, WWE stars were in for a bit of a rude awakening this weekend. A 6.8 earthquake struck the island country. Several of the stars made note of the incident through their social media website. Hulk Hogan revealed that his bed had moved around the hotel room. Fortunately, though, this particular earthquake did not produce devastating tsunamis like the last one.
July 12, 2014
If you're a fan of John Morrison, now is a good time to head on over to the Amazon website because Hercules Reborn, which the former WWE performer stars in, is being released and shipped today. Interestingly enough, the website credits Morrison as the director as well as the star. However, that might simply be a typo because Nick Lyon sat in the director's chair for the film.
July 8, 2014
There are a lot of rumors going around right now about John Morrison making his return to WWE in the near future. The speculations stem from an article that was on the official WWE website that listed performers who could replace Seth Rollins in the Shield. Out of all the names given, Morrison was the only one that was not currently under contract to the company, so people began whispering.
June 9, 2014
The TNA Knockouts website has undergone a bit of a makeover, with the company making some modifications to the layout and adding some new performers. A quick glance at the site shows that TNA now has nine Knockouts on the roster. Some new pictures of ODB, Christy Hemme, Velvet Sky, Taryn Terrell, Gail Kim, Santana Garrett, Angelina Love, Madison Rayne and Brooke Tessmacher have been uploaded.
May 31, 2014
Despite never climbing the ranks and becoming a main event performer, WWE recognized the skills and passion that Joey Mercury had for the profession. In a feature on their website, the company put some spotlight on Mercury, who is now working as a trainer and backstage agent for WWE. Paul Heyman, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns had quite a bit of praise for Mercury.
May 21, 2014
A website called New Mature Tube has been trying to lure professional wrestling fans by promising naked videos and pictures of Beulah McGillicutty online. While the former ECW star has posed naked before, the site is actually using a strip tease video of a porn star instead.
May 13, 2014
In a very rare interview, Vince Russo addressed the rumors that he was still working with TNA. The former head writer noted that he has not been under contract with a professional wrestling company in approximately two years now. Russo revealed that he is living in a house in the mountains of Colorado and working on a new website project.
May 6, 2014
A little stir was created earlier this week on WWE.com, as the website teased a dream match between Sting and Undertaker, which is something that fans have been clamoring to see for the last several years. Unfortunately, though, nothing is in the works at the moment, as this was simply something concocted by the technology department to increase traffic.
April 26, 2014
On their official website, WWE produced a list of the greatest talkers in the history of the business. The top five consisted of Ric Flair, Rock, Dusty Rhodes, Roddy Piper and Steve Austin. The more interesting inclusion, though, is CM Punk, who is listed at #16. The company has not made much mention of him since he walked away a couple of months ago.
April 25, 2014
A video of how Brandi Rhodes, the wife of Cody Rhodes, spent her Easter. WWE has been trying to promote the developmental diva, who appears briefly in her underwear, through their website over the last several weeks.
April 24, 2014
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Charles Robinson had suffered a gruesome injury while working with the ring crew at a WWE live event in Saudi Arabia. The longtime referee nearly lost his thumb, but fortunately, the company doctor was able to save it. The story was actually big enough for TMZ to pick up. The mainstream gossip website even posted some graphic images of the thumb.
April 22, 2014
As one of the biggest free agents in the industry right now, Bully Ray is constantly asked about his future plans. The former world heavyweight champion stated that he is open to a return to WWE. However, he wants to have a singles run if he does decide to return to the company. Ray stated that he would like to work a match against Brock Lesnar and John Cena, two of the upper tier guys.
November 24, 2014
Speculations are floating around right now that Bully Ray has grown frustrated with the management team in TNA. He posted a vague message on Twitter about how important it is for generals to communicate with their soldiers. That led many to believe that he was actually talking about the wrestlers and management. The belief is that Ray is still waiting to make his move after seeing what TNA does with their next television deal.
November 12, 2014
Now that their contracts with TNA have officially expired, there has been some contact between Team 3D and WWE. The two sides are discussing a potential return to the company. The move may come as a shock to certain fans because there was a widespread belief that Bully Ray and Devon were never going to be able to work in WWE ever again due to backstage heat. That apparently is not the case.
October 17, 2014
During Bound For Glory 2014, Bully Ray and Devon specifically mentioned the Bullet Club, a stable in New Japan. That is of interest because the pay per view was promoted by Great Muta and Wrestle-1. This has led to speculation that Team 3D may end up signing with Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling because the company has a partnership with New Japan.
October 12, 2014
When his contract was expiring, a lot of fans wondered what TNA would do with Bully Ray and his stories since he was leaving the company. The two sides have reached an agreement to continue working together, so that the stories can be resolved. Bully Ray will also work the Bound For Glory 2014 event and be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame before parting ways.
September 15, 2014
Rumors are spreading rapidly right now that Bully Ray has signed a new contract with TNA. The speculation stems from the fact that the company is now openly advertising him for Bound For Glory 2014. His contract expired not too long ago, and at the time, the belief was that the two sides were not able to come to an agreement on a new deal because TNA was still waiting for a television contract. There is also a chance that Bully Ray could just be doing a one time thing for the company.
September 13, 2014
There are rumors floating around right now that Dixie Carter might be skipping out on Bound For Glory. That, of course, should spark up some speculation from fans that TNA is on the verge of shutting down. However, the possible reason why she may not attend the upcoming pay per view is because she might not physically be capable of enduring the long flight to Japan. She is still recovering from injuries suffered from the flying table spot with Bully Ray.
September 4, 2014
Reports surfaced not too long ago that Bully Ray was leaving TNA, as his contract was set to expire and a new deal could not be reached between the two sides. Apparently, he is going to remain on good terms with management, as the former world heavyweight champion is still being advertised for Bound For Glory 2014. Team 3D is scheduled to be inducted into the hall of fame that evening, but it would not come as a shock if Bully ended up working a match on the pay per view.
August 30, 2014
A lot of eyes are on the contract negotiations between Bully Ray and TNA at the moment. Many are curious to see if the company will actually let another top level performer walk away. Reports have surfaced that one of the things holding up the deal is the fact that management wants to wait until a new television deal can be reached. TNA is willing to sign the lower level performers right now since the deals are not as expensive.
August 22, 2014
While the negotiation continues between the two sides, the belief is that Bully Ray and TNA are far apart on the financial terms. Management wants to keep their former world heavyweight champion around because he is quite the asset to the roster. However, they are limited in what they can pay him, much like how they had to let AJ Styles leave. Since neither side is willing to budge, it looks like the relationship could be over soon.
August 21, 2014
Since he has worked himself into shape and became a legitimate main event performer, many are speculating that Bully Ray will be heading to WWE after his contract with TNA expires in a couple of days. However, reports are surfacing that WWE is hesitant to bring him back. Aside from his age, there are those backstage in the company that do not like Bully.
August 21, 2014
While it appears that Bully Ray is on his way out of TNA once his contract expires in a few days, his tag team partner isn't going anywhere. Devon is reportedly under contract with the company until next year. As of this point, it is unclear what management will do if they are unable to come to terms on a new deal with Bully. Both sides are reportedly still in negotiations.
August 19, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Bully Ray has informed the TNA locker room that he will be leaving the company. That comes as a shock because the former world heavyweight champion had been gaining a bit of power backstage. His contract expires in September, and negotiations are said to be ongoing. The company has been locking up a handful of wrestlers over the last few weeks, so it's not impossible for them to work out another contract with Bully.
August 17, 2014
In a sign of how much power he has gained backstage, Bully Ray was recently put in charge of a talent meeting to explain to the performers that TNA was still going to remain in business. The former world heavyweight champion has been given access to details of the negotiations that the company has undertaken with the various television networks.
August 17, 2014
Since her character has a broken back, Dixie Carter is selling that fact by staying away from Impact Wrestling. However, TNA fans will get to see her at least once more. Mikey Tenay and Carter will be doing an interview from her home soon. The move is designed to further the story line and generate more of a reaction for Bully Ray and the other faces.
August 15, 2014
One of the big stories of the year is that Dixie Carter allowed herself to be placed through a table by Bully Ray on Impact Wrestling. That has brought some praise, both from within TNA and across the industry, for Carter. She is not a trained professional wrestler, and she is closing in on 50 years of age. Some do believe that she is trying her best to help the company out.
August 14, 2014
Since the company views it as a monumental moment, TNA is now selling the table that was shattered to pieces when Bully Ray delivered a top rope power bomb to Dixie Carter on Impact Wrestling last week. The cost is $199.99. It comes with a photo, a piece of the ring canvas, a piece of the table and a certificate of authenticity. It might become a collector's item some day.
August 11, 2014
For those of you that are not aware, the segment on Impact Wrestling where Dixie Carter was slammed through a table by Bully Ray was designed to write her out of the story line. She has long wanted to be removed from television. TNA came up with a pretty clever way of generating publicity and giving the fans the feel good moment that they have been yearning for.
August 8, 2014
TNA is really hoping to spike the ratings for Impact Wrestling this week. The company has already filmed footage of Bully Ray putting Dixie Carter through a table, and they're using that to draw in viewers. The company has even released a public statement, calling August 7th, "National Put Your Boss Through A Table Day". The belief is that TNA is trying to convince Spike to give them a new television deal.
August 4, 2014
Since his company is folding and he is joining the Great Muta in Wrestle-1, there are talks that Tajiri could be making an appearance in TNA very soon, as the two companies have been working closely together nowadays. Tajiri still has some name value due to his stint in WWE, and he has a connection with characters like Rhyno, Bully Ray, Tommy Dreamer and Devon.

Acted aloof and uninterested and now the girl is ignoring me?
As my name says, I AM CLUELESS about how to flirt, interact etc. with girls.So this girl I know for almost a year used to like me (physically at least). She would look at my way, trying to catch my eye and everything. But I am an idiot and tried to act cool, aloof and uninterested, in hopes of playing hard to get or whatever... I didn't flirt with her and now we are in some awkward situation... She IGNORES me while passing by, and I am too egoistical to acknowledge the fact, so I ALSO IGNORE her... HELP ME I REALLY LIKE THIS GIRL :(
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
I'd ignore you too. If a guy ignores me then I presume he has no interest and move on. If I figure out that he's playing games then I'm turned off and my interest is gone. Just hope she is a little more forgiving than me and try to talk to her but don't be surprised if you've ruined your chance
Please look at the update... Any suggestions?
- Show Older Hide Older
MAYBE! maybe because she started ignoring me that I noticed... :(
So be honest with yourself you don't have to answer me but are you genuinely interested or is it the challenge you like?
What Girls Said 4
If you really like her that much, get off your high horse and say hi and be the first to initiate. Acting cold and aloof probably hurt her a lot if she really liked you, so that was just stupid on your part, and you need to fix it. Sorry, that was mean. =/
Please look at the update... Any suggestions?
no, if it happened 9 months ago it doesn't matter anymore.
well. as someone who's shy with the opposite gender myself I feel your pain lol. but, I think all in all, most girls expect the guy to make the first move. yes, it kinda sucks, but that's just how it goes. men are typically the mor edominant ones, girls associate that with interest so if your not making a move she'll assume you aren't interested ! nothing major, just say HEY or WHATSUP. trust me ... if you just say hey a few times and make her feel like you wanna talk she'll come around.
Please look at the update... Any suggestions?
lmao. well, that could actually work in your advantage if you made out with her (given that well, she didn't say anything bad about it) because people are intrigued by others who are wanted or have been wanted by others. as long as you don't come off as a player type. and if they aren't friends then it won't be as big of a deal for her to also possibly hook up with you lol.
What Guys Said 1
Be a man, sack up, go talk to her. You played it like a fool to begin with, don't play it like a fool now.
Should I tell her I like her or should I go slowly? Escalate or just plain go all in?
- Show Older Hide Older
Please look at the update... Any suggestions?
They aren't friends, that was months ago, and it was just making out (probably at a party, probably with alcohol). No big deal. Pay no mind to it unless she brings it up, then deal with it at that time. Otherwise, never mention it and don't let it affect your actions.

Mac Miller - Goosebumpz
Artist: Mac Miller
Producer: Diplo
Album: Watching Movies With The Sound Off
Avg Rating: 2.7 ( 15 votes )
Upon reading the title of Mac Miller's latest feature, the first thought that entered my mind was of R.L. Stine's bestselling book series. I'm a late-'80s baby; what can I say? As it turns out, I was way off the mark. The type of Goosebumpz the indie-rap phenom is concerned with on this freshly-minted song release are not the variety raised by PG-rated horror novels, but the kind that women get as the result of his skills in the bedroom. Over Diplo's production, an off-the-wall-collage of muted horns, theremin and birdsong backed by a syncopated production rhythm, the Keystone State spitter depicts himself as the Tupac Shakur of sexual intercourse, boasting, "When I die b*tch she['ll] f**k my hologram." For this freaky selection, lead single S.D.S. and much more, check out Watching Movies With the Sound Off, when it hits record stores and online retailers June 18, via Rostrum Records.

MMO Salvation has arrived!
I posted a while back on the original Everquest, DDO, and made an analogy as to how EQ was like old school DnD, while DDO was like new school. I lamented that there were no longer any sandboxey MMO's out there, nothing in the style of the original EQ.
Now there is. Vanguard is an MMO which was designed in part by the original EQ designers. It has the same exact feel. Dying sux, you loose xp, you need to loot your corpse if you can, the whole world is one big instance, and you get your ass kicked all over the place. It's not for pussies who want instant gratification, like WoW seems to cater to.
Vanguard apparently sucked when it first came out 3 1/2 years ago. They spent a lot of time fixing up things, and now it runs really well. I became disenchanted with DDO at the high end game. Endless grinding for gear is all the game is about, repeating the same boring quest over and over again in the dim hope that you might get the thing you wanted out of it so eventually in a year or so you can make that item you want. Boring as shit.
We'll see how Vanguard goes, as we get into it more. But it seems that they are having a huge new influx of people. I definitely don't see a lack of people to group with. Check it out, its a good time.

Vanguard: The Spiritual Successor to the Original Everquest
2 comments:
You should check out Shards of Dalaya (an EQ emulator). What these guys and gals have done is amazing. Sure, the graphics are dated but the game play in phenomenal.ReplyDelete
I attempted to play Vanguard when it first came out. It was so horribly broken that I refuse to ever go back. Death still isn't as meaningful in it as it was back in the Dreadlord days of Ultima Online, which is still fun to play on a free shard like http://www.uosecondage.com.ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to trying out the new Star Wars the Old Republic, but I'm not sure if it will cut it either.

BEST WAY TO? - Manage Multiple Hard Drives - Win 7 64-bit
Hi All,
I am going to be performing a clean install of Windows 7 64bit. I've been reading that it is generally a better idea to segregate the OS from applications from documents. I have always used the C: drive for everything and thought about giving this a try. I'd like to get some advice from others who have done this and get some "best practices" if I could.
I have the following drives available: 320GB, 300GB, 750GB. I was planning to install the OS on either the 320 or 300, install my applications and game clients on the other 300, and use the 750 for all of my docs, pics, music, videos, downloads, etc.
Is there anything else I should consider? Does this plan make the most sense? I figured a clean install would be necessary becasue it will be next to impossible to relocate applications from one drive to another.
Is there anything I should look out for? Is it relatively easy in Win 7 to adjust default "Save To" locations and moving my Libraries (Docs, Music, Pics, etc.)?
Thanks for all the input!
|My System Specs
|26 Dec 2011
You can try any of these steps:
1.Since you have plenty of HDD space available,you can install windows to either 320 or 300 GB drive and save your documents and data in either of other two remaining drives.
2.Or you can create a single 100 GB partition just for OS and install programes/application in same drive as OS (recomended for imaging purposes) and data in other drives.If you have any data intensive games which take up considerable amount of space then install it in either of other drives/partitions.
I would suggest not to move your libraries and keep them in default C drive.
Link to create/manage partitions is Partition / Extended : Logical Drives

This is in fact a good argument for linking your user folders to another HD: User Folders - Change Default Location
Another option is to use Win7 backup center to keep a current image and file backup to second HD.

Associated Press
ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (AP) -- Lawyers say the sex-abuse trial of a former Maryland School for the Deaf dormitory aide comes down to his word against the victims' accusations.
Assistant Howard County State's Attorney JoAnna Miller said in her opening statement Tuesday in Ellicott City that the case against 38-year-old Clarence Taylor III depends mainly on statements made by the seven alleged victims and the defendant.
There's no video of Taylor hugging, kissing or fondling the girls. And Miller says police couldn't retrieve text messages in which Taylor allegedly asked three of the girls for nude photos.
Defense attorney Brandon Mead says Taylor is a loving husband and father who would never touch a girl inappropriately.
Mead says the alleged molestation was merely accidental contact or innocent touching meant to aid communication among non-hearing people.

Federal Judge rules Portland Channel deepening may proceed
After 18 years of planning, the Columbia River Channel Improvement Project received a green light recently from US District Judge Ricardo Martinez. Judge Martinez ruled that the Corps of Engineers and NOAA Fisheries had properly analyzed the Project's impacts under federal law."This is fantastic news for the thousand of companies in our region that depend on the Columbia River to move their products," said Columbia River Channel Coalition President and Port of Longview Executive Director Ken O'Hollaren. "From the beginning, businesses have recognized how critical channel deepening is to our economy, but the judge's decision is a ringing recognition of the project's solid basis in best available science."
In his ruling, Judge Martinez stated that he agreed with the US Army Corps of Engineers and the sponsor ports that they took the requisite 'hard look' at project impacts as required by the National Environmental Policy Act. The Judge also concluded that the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) had properly reviewed the project's impacts to salmon. The ruling came in response to a Northwest Environmental Advocates lawsuit challenging the NMFS approval of the project and the Corps' Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The plaintiffs had requested that the court set aside the Biological Opinion NMFS used to approve the project and the Corps' EIS.
"The judge's decision today will help ensure the Columbia River continues to serve the region's $15-billion maritime industry," said Bill Wyatt, Port of Portland executive director. "Those three feet are critical to our ability to attract and retain the container carrier service our region's businesses depend on to reach their international markets." When completed, the additional three feet of depth will allow draft-restricted bulk ships to carry an additional 6,000 tons of grain and container ships to carry hundreds of additional containers, making a Columbia River port call more cost-effective for ocean carriers and Northwest businesses and farmers.

Senator Carl Levin is leaving today for Iraq, where he planned to meet with leaders of that country.
The difference this time around, Levin says, is that most Americans want to change course in the war.
Levin last traveled to Iraq in October, before American voters gave Democrats power in Congress.
The Michigan Democrat says he will tell Iraqi leaders that they must accept responsibility for their country.
While the U-S military has claimed recent successes in Iraq, the political process has stalled.

Author information
THEODOR SEUSS GEISEL--aka Dr. Seuss--is one of the most beloved children's book authors of all time. From "The Cat in the Hat" to "Oh, the Places You'll Go!," his iconic characters, stories, and art style have been a lasting influence on generations of children and adults. The books he wrote and illustrated under the name Dr. Seuss (and others that he wrote but did not illustrate, including some under the pseudonyms Theo. LeSieg and Rosetta Stone) have been translated into thirty languages. Hundreds of millions of copies have found their way into homes and hearts around the world. Dr. Seuss's long list of awards includes Caldecott Honors for "McElligot's Pool," "If I Ran the Zoo," and "Bartholomew and the Oobleck," the Pulitzer Prize, and eight honorary doctorates. Works based on his original stories have won three Oscars, three Emmys, three Grammys, and a Peabody.
Review quote
Gift guide, The New York Times, June 21, 2008: "One book that has proved to be popular for graduates of all ages since it was first published in 1990."
Flap copy
Illus. in full color. "Don't be fooled by the title of this seriocomic ode to success; it's not 'Climb Every Mountain, ' kid version. All journeys face perils, whether from indecision, from loneliness, or worst of all, from too much waiting. Seuss' familiar pajama-clad hero is up to the challenge, and his odyssey is captured vividly in busy two-page spreads evoking both the good times (grinning purple elephants, floating golden castles) and the bad (deep blue wells of confusion). Seuss' message is simple but never sappy: life may be a 'Great Balancing Act, ' but through it all 'There's fun to be done.'"--(starred) "Booklist.

Style PS
At 1.6 oz, the Style PS is an ultralight multi-tool that has EVERYTHING a hiker could want…except a knife blade. (Oops!) Let me start with a story… I am in the St. Louis REI, with an hour to kill before a flight to Boulder, CO. I am staring at a wall of multi-tools—Leatherman, Gerber, Swiss—way too many choices. What I really want to find is a sub-3oz tool with both pliers and scissors. After 45 minutes of comparison shopping, I select the Style PS and head to the airport. A few hours later,… Full review
LED Lenser SEO7 Headlamp
160 lumens of rechargeable power, multiple light functions, water resistant and light enough for most applications, best light out there in my opinion. Variable beam, adjustable focus, 5-hour burn time on 200 lumens, 20 hours on 20 lumens, water resistant, 3-1/2 hours to recharge battery, will take triple AAA batteries as well. Full review
Squirt PS4
Though small in size, this is still a serious tool. It is well-made and has the diminutive heft of pocket-sized tool that is meant to be more than an ornament. Its chief limitation is its size, which is also its chief virtue. An excellent option for small repair jobs, removing a hot pot from a fire, or similar tasks. Great for everyday carry as well as backpacking. The quest for the perfect backpacking multi-tool is one in which many of my friends have engaged. Trying to find the perfect balance… Full review
Style CS
The Leatherman Style CS is an inexpensive, good quality basic multi-tool. It comes with a knife, scissors, tweezers, nail file, flat screw driver and bottle opener that fits easily in your pocket or clips onto your pack so you can quickly find it when needed. A while back I was re-evaluating my gear, looking for ways to reduce what I carry. I came across three pieces (a small folding knife, tweezers and scissors) that I don't use often and always carry. I wondered if I could find a small multi-tool… Full review
Another great Leatherman tool. I always wear it on the weekends and it is incredible handy. This is just a fantastic tool. Relatively inexpensive, contains a very useful set of tools. I like how the saw and the knife can be accessed without opening the tool. The pliers are also very high quality. The leather sleeve is kind of useless (for me anyway). I much prefer to use the clip or a nylon belt sheath. I use the tool around the house as well as when I camp (the can opener works great!). Full review

Not all trains are alike: A freight line's sobering perspective
With the exception of the clear-headed Chris Sununu, the Executive Council went along with Gov. Maggie Hassan last week in endorsing the study the House had earlier approved.
Passenger rail fans say the study is a big step forward in bringing passenger rail to southern New Hampshire. As for recent past studies, which debunked the idea? Well, they clearly were no good, say the train fans.
The only thing clear here is that rail fans won't be confused or deterred by the facts. The public, however, may want to take note of recent remarks by someone with some experience in railroading.
In a piece we ran last Friday, Pan Am Railways President David Fink was quite clear. Pan Am runs freight trains through New Hampshire and New England. It does so without taxpayer subsidy. Passenger service, on the other hand, will require huge amounts of taxpayer loot in New Hampshire, just as has been the case elsewhere. Fink cited Minnesota.
"There, a 40-mile rail line was upgraded at a cost of approximately $317 million for service into Minneapolis in 2009. Since the operation of the first train, ridership has consistently failed to meet projections, and the taxpayers of Minnesota are paying a subsidy of approximately $1 million per month to support a service that is failing to meet even muted expectations."
No problem with "muted" expectations here.
The passenger rail choir is loud and proud. It now includes some Nashua and Manchester businesses that insist they could attract more workers if they could be allowed to live in hip Boston and merely hop the train to work up here in the sticks.
This, they say, is the "big picture" that we need to look at. The train is an "investment."
If that is so, how about a rail tax on the willing? How about letting these people and businesses who say "build it and they will come" pay for it? Dave Fink and Pan Am pay the freight.
Let the passenger pushers follow that example.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Neely is a amazing school. My son is going into third grade and my daughter will be a kindergarten this school year. The teachers are great and the parents are very involved. They stick to a very strict curriculum. Which is great, I just wish they would incorporate more fun into the learning. Like art projects, hands on activities or using more of there imagination and creativity. It seems to be very by the book. But don't get me wrong. I love this school and I'm grateful my children go to Neely.
i love this school! my child has been there sense kindergartenand she has gotten straight a's every year. i suggest you send your child here it is the best school i have ever seen!!!
Neely is an excellent school! It is like going to a private school without the tuition. The teachers are amazing, the families are kind and take the time to get involved with their childs education. This is the best public school Gilbert has to offer. Your children will learn and be excited about it!! This school is not for those who do not want to be involved in their childs education. Excellent, Excellent school!
School continues to get 10 out of 10 scores. Students not allowed to do fund raising; electronic weekly status report and high level of parent participation.
Ok, this school is amazing! All the teachers are so nice and they make it so much easier to learn. Im in 6th grade now and i am having a great time. My teacher, Mrs. St. John, is so helpful. This school has done so much for me. At Neely, i feel i have reached my full potential. Also at Neely, i have learned to overcome my A.D.H.D. Why wouldnt you guys send your kids to a school that was visited by fox 10 news.Go Neely!
This is officially the best school I've ever been to! The principal does a great job managing everything and the teachers are wonderful (especially Mrs. Manning and Mr. Martin)! I'm in sixth grade right now, I've been attending Neely ever since 1st grade, and they've been some of the best years of my life! YAY! Go Neely Knights!
Okay, Mom and Dad, if you want the best opportunity for your child to excel and achieve their full potential, send them to Neely! My daughter is in the sixth-grade this year. She began Neely as a kindergartner. She has been challenged but not overwhelmed. Neely has ALP, advanced math and advanced writing for those who qualify. They also offer help for those who need it. Neely has an all volunteer band and strings which both of which are amazing. These children meet before school in order to participate. The strings start with third-graders and the band with fourth-graders, which is not standard for other schools in the district. These kiddos still get general music as well as PE, art as part of a 'specials' rotation. We drive across the district to get her there. I can honestly say, I would have never had it any other way.
i went to neely a few years ago, but im too old now.... my education there helped prepare me so well. I was prepared for Junior High when it came. The strings program is amazing. The teacher there taught me very well. I am now in a Youth Symphony. I am in the second highest level.
My son is now in 3rd grade and is soaring academically. He may have slightly more homework that the other district schools, but it is paying off. The children are held to a higher standard at Neely, and I find that the parents are active and have put their children in this school expecting superior education. The principal is amazing and very active in what is right for each individual student. She is very professional.
We just spent our first year here with my oldest, a kindergardner. I have to say, I love it. The review below said it best, the kids are encouraged to do their best but aren't as stressed as kids I see at CTA, very similar program. I loooove the half day kinder teacher, Ms. Warren. She made the year fun for my very senstive little boy. We're definitely coming back.
We have 4 children attending GPS Traditional Academy and each of them is doing so wonderful. They have been taught the importance of doing their best on each and every assignment. They are challenged but not stressed. Teachers work hard to build up each child's self esteem... which is very important to us as parents. There are so many schools to choose from in this area and we believe that this school is absolutely the best!!
This is a great school. No time is wasted in class. Children are respectful. Great parent involvement. Gayle Blanchard is a great Principal and the teachers are excellent.
The school is the best thing that could have happened to my children. They are learning so much more than they would be at if they were still at their old school. No chaos in these classrooms! The extracurricular activities are just that--extracurricular-- they are before and after school. They have art, computers, PE just the same as other schools but if they want to be in band or chorus, it is before or after school. The school hours are for learning. They have the best special reading teacher in the district. Their new principal (this is her second year) is the best!
This is such an excellent school. We started my Kinder. & Second Grader last year and it was the best move I could make. My Kinder. was doing more work than my second grader did at our last school when she was in first grade! They push the kids to work to their potential instead of teaching to the lowest common denominator. My second grader told me constantly that she loved this new school and didn't want to ever go back to her old one. The teachers, staff, and administration are all amazing.
My children have attended this school since pre-k and I can't imagine them going anywhere else. The academics are superb, and it's truly like a small community-- everyone knows each other and is very ivolved.
This school is fantastic. The core academics of Spalding Phonics and Saxon Math are valuable tools in teaching your children the skills they need to learn anything. They expect a lot from students, but won't hold them back from learning as much and as fast as they can. Music, art, computers, Accelerated Reader, and other specials including special ed and a gifted program are all available. Parents here are very involved and there are opportunities to help with whatever fits into your schedule. I cannot say enough great things about this school. The faculty and staff are tremendous and know almost the entire student body by name.
I have taught in a regular public school and now a traditional school. The difference is stunning. There is no time wasted in class. We are constantly challenging our students. They thrive at the challenges and high goals that we set. It has shown me that a traditional school is giving the most to the children's education. GPS is the best!
The teachers, students and principal at this school is of the highest quality. Teachers give 100% and the students do as well. The positive atmosphere at the principal encourages really allows the students to blossom.
This school is great for children who are above average students.
My daughter after fininshing the 1st grade still wasn't reading. I put her into GPS Traditional Academy and within 2 months she was at her grade level in reading. My son is now just finishing Kindergarten this year there and by Christmas of last year, he was reading and his comprehension was at a 2.8 grade level. The teachers work with the children and the parents are amazing, helping with any and every activity that is available. I would recommend GPS Traditional Academy to any parent wishing their children to excell in school.

NC Health Officials Warn Of Norovirus Outbreak
CBS Charlotte (con't)
Affordable Care Act Updates: CBSCharlotte.com/ACA
Health News & Information: CBSCharlotte.com/Health
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Public health officials in North Carolina are reminding residents about hand washing and other steps to protect themselves after reports of norovirus outbreaks.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reports (http://avlne.ws/Joo0Ix) that the state Department of Health and Human Services says norovirus cases have been reported in Henderson, Burke, Alamance and Beaufort counties.
Norovirus can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and cramping. Other symptoms can include fever, headache and body aches. It can be more serious for young children, older adults and people with chronic medical conditions.
DHHS says norovirus spreads through contact with contaminated surfaces or by eating food or drinking liquids that are contaminated with the virus.
Acting State Health Director Dr. Robin Gary Cummings says soap and water is the best way to wash hands, adding that hand sanitizers aren't effective.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Arsphenamine, also known as Salvarsan and compound 606, is a drug that was introduced at the beginning of the 1910s as the first effective treatment for syphilis, and was also used to treat trypanosomiasis.[2] It is an organoarsenic molecule, and was the first modern chemotherapeutic agent.
Sahachiro Hata and Paul Ehrlich discovered the antisyphilitic activity of this compound in 1909 in Erlich's laboratory, during a survey of hundreds of newly synthesized organic arsenical compounds. Ehrlich had theorized that by screening many compounds, a drug could be discovered with antimicrobial activity without killing the human. Ehrlich's team began their search for such a "magic bullet" among chemical derivatives of the dangerously toxic drug atoxyl. This was the first organized team effort to optimize the biological activity of a lead compound through systematic chemical modifications, the basis for nearly all modern pharmaceutical research.
Arsphenamine was originally called "606" because it was the sixth in the sixth group of compounds synthesized for testing; it was marketed by Hoechst AG under the trade name Salvarsan in 1910.[3][4] Salvarsan was the first organic antisyphilitic, and a great improvement over the inorganic mercury compounds that had been used previously. It was distributed as a yellow, crystalline, hygroscopic powder that was highly unstable in air.[5] This significantly complicated administration, as the drug had to be dissolved in several hundred milliliters of distilled, sterile water with minimal exposure to air to produce a solution suitable for injection. Some of the side effects including rashes, liver damage, and risks of life and limb[6] attributed to Salvarsan were thought to be caused by improper handling and administration, causing Ehrlich, who worked assiduously to standardize practices, to observe, "the step from the laboratory to the patient's bedside ... is extraordinarily arduous and fraught with danger." [3] This instability may due to the fact the true structure of the compound was not confirmed until 2004. Ehrlich originally proposed that Salvarsan's structure was of two double-bonded arsenic atoms, each bonded to an aminophenol group. This became the subject of much debate over the years, particularly because of this unlikely double bond between the arsenic atoms. Scientists found that Salvarsan is in fact is a mixture of three- and five-membered cyclic arsenic species.[7]
Ehrlich's laboratory developed a more soluble (but slightly less effective) arsenical compound, Neosalvarsan (neoarsphenamine), which was easier to prepare, and it became available in 1912. Less severe side-effects such as nausea and vomiting were still common. An additional problem was that both Salvarsan and Neosalvarsan had to be stored in sealed vials under a nitrogen atmosphere to prevent oxidation These arsenical compounds were supplanted as treatments for syphilis in the 1940s by penicillin.[8]
After leaving Erlich's laboratory, Hata continued parallel investigation of the new medicines in Japan.[9]
The bacterium that causes syphilis is a spirochete, Treponema pallidum. Arsphenamine is not toxic to spirochetes until it has been converted to an active form by the body.
From Salvarsan's discovery until recently, it was believed that the structure featured an As=As double bond. However, in 2005, an extensive mass spectral analysis showed the actual structure is most likely to be a mixture of the cyclic trimer and a pentamer.[1][3] The revised structure features As-As single bonds, not double bonds.

By Gosia Wozniacka
Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. — Police in southern Oregon held an unlikely suspect overnight: an adorable bear cub.
Myrtle Creek Police Chief Don Brown says a teen boy and his parents dropped off the cub in a plastic container at the police station Monday. The boy found the young animal whimpering in the woods outside his house on the outskirts of town.
It's unclear where the cub's mother was.
Brown says it was dangerous for the boy to pick up the cub, because the mother bear could have attacked him. He says the cub was "very well behaved" while staying overnight at the station.
Police and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife officials looked for the cub's mother but couldn't find her.
The cub is now at the University of Oregon receiving a veterinary checkup.

Darwin Grosse's latest podcast is up. Listen here.
Darwin Grosse's latest podcast is an interview with Brian Crabtree with http://www.monome.org. Listen here.
I've told the story before - I first met Brian Crabtree when he was working in LA, and he showed me a button/light combo that was a "<shrug>" for me. Little did I suspect that the concept would end up being at the heart of the music industry of the future, and that I would be the proud owner of several devices that use exactly that technology.
In this chat, Brian and I talk about the past, present and future of monome.org, including the continued development of the grid and the new modular devices they are creating. We also talk about his recent music releases, his design philosophy and how he feels about the state of grids in music technology. A very involved conversation that was also quite revealing.
The bumper music for this episode was actually composed (in about five minutes) using a Monome 128, a White Whale module, my portable modular and an Eventide Space. Not exactly a Super Demo, but it does tell you that this combo (Monome/White Whale) has already wedged its way into my rig...
Podcast Links
Surreal Machines (http://www.surrealmachines.com/) has released a new set of Max for Live devices for Ableton Live called Dub Machines. For $39 you get 2 devices, 95 presets, and 2 live sets.
Dub Machines is a pair of expertly designed Max for Live devices that reproduce, and expand on the sound of classic tape and analog delays. With vintage character, extensive control and deep sound-shaping capabilities, Dub Machines is ready to take any sound into space.
The Pack is available here https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/dub-machines/.
Making of Dub Machines
If you are interested in the behind-the-scenes creation of this device check out Darwin Grosse's latest podcast where he interviews the developers http://artmusictech.libsyn.com/podcast-030-pete-dowling-and-matt-jackson.
In my first two-person podcast, I meet with Pete Dowling and Matt Jackson of Surreal Machines http://www.surrealmachines.com). Pete and Matt have just released a new MFL-based Live pack, and I hit them up for an explanation of the concept, a discussion about what it is like to collaborate on this kind of project, and how one might ever be satisfied with ones work. This is a revealing interview that provides insight on code-based collaborations.
If you haven't gotten a chance to test drive the Dubmachines Live pack, you should give it a try. The two devices are cool to work with, and have a very unique sound (and vibe) to them.
More On Magnetic and Diffuse
Magnetic is based on one of the most beloved tape delays of the 1970s. To capture all the nuances of the original, Surreal Machines started by measuring the distortion, frequency response, errors and mechanical noise of an actual hardware unit. As a result, Magnetic is a delay that oozes with nonlinearities and, true to the original, includes multiple gain stages, tape hysteresis, capstan wobble – not even the dry signal comes out the way it went in.
Magnetic comes with a high-quality internal convolution reverb with samples of classic spring and plate reverbs, early digital halls, plus several more radically character-altering spaces. And, in addition to the parallel system that original hardware units had, Magnetic's reverb can be switched pre or post echo.
Two different reverse options for classic tape or stompbox behaviors are included. Several other tape delays from the period were examined and carefully crafted into new breeds of four different machine styles – all with a control to tone back or exaggerate character.
Is it delay? Is it reverb? It's Diffuse, and most importantly, it's lush and full of character. With a sophisticated feedback network under the hood, Diffuse can produce short virtual spaces, otherworldly atmospheric swells, and everything in between.
Diffuse gives you complete control over smearing, echoes and dampening and features plenty of the nonlinearities and smooth tape style delay changes of hardware. As with Magnetic, all relevant parameters can be tweaked directly in the device interface.
Some of the more advanced features include a digital rectifier to add some top end and sizzle and "Pump" – a specially designed dynamics tool to duck the delay out of the way of the dry signal and pull it back up again for long sustained trails.

Electronic Musician Boulder, CO
www.FearCannotSaveUs <<< New album
My friend, fellow Boulderite, Cycling '74 Chief Learning Officer, former Director of Engineering and product lead for Max for Live has a new podcast called "Art + Music + Technology".
An interview podcast where we talk to people that are engaged in the connection of art and music to technology. Visual artists, musicians, software developers and other creatives are invited to talk about their background, current work and future vision.
He's already done 15 episodes with some super interesting guests.
One of my personal favs so far was Podcast 13 with Paul Schreiber.
Paul Schreiber has seen it all, from building his own Heathkit gear, to designing automotive stereo systems, to designing cell phones to creating modular synthesizer systems. I was, of course, mostly interested in the latter, but I was also interested in how modular systems were informed by his earlier experiences. In this interview, Paul shares how he learned electronics, how he designed the MOTM modular system, and also shares his advice for anyone interested in digging into it themselves.
This is the first in a series of interviews informed by the forum citizens over at muffwiggler.com. Don't let the name freak you out; I'm sure it started out as some sort of inside joke, but it really is the main meeting place for all things modular.
