reviews of "Defying Gravity"
excerpt from "Defying Gravity"
to purchase this book click here
In DEFYING GRAVITY, thirty-something TV news producer Miranda Tyler finds herself on an emotionally rocky road trip after being ditched by her fiancé on a mountaintop near Jasper. There, she's befriended by Indrin Krishnayya, a short order cook with aspirations to the priesthood, who asks her for a lift to the west coast. Miranda agrees but their journey is further rerouted when a small town priest asks them to help Edmond Rebero, a Rwandan refugee who has just escaped the genocide in his country and who has been working as a tree planter in the BC interior.
What follows is at the same time a journey through the brilliant mountain landscape of the Canadian Rockies and an internal journey -- a thoughtful, moving and often funny exploration of spiritual yearning, love, friendship, and the pure power of understanding what it means to be connected to the human family, even in the face of worlds ending.
Published by Coteau Books in 2000, Defying Gravity received enthusiastic reviews across Canada and was nominated for three Saskatchewan Book Awards, including Book of the Year.
"Deeply engrossing, a terrific read. This is a marvellous new Canadian author."
- Roy Bonisteel
"Jennifer Wynne Webber is a bright, witty new voice. Her talent, demonstrated in Defying Gravity should bring pleasure to her readers for a long time to come."
- Sharon Butala
"...it's good: a dry, quiet Canadian Beat tale."
- Barbara Leslie
"At turns wistfully romantic, insightful and humorous (especially Miranda's caustic observations on her ex-lovers) Defying Gravity is a satisfying read".
- Greg Beatty
"...an engaging first novel by a writer with something of value to say about the society spawned by the tempestuous 20th century."
- Verne Clemence

Fingers on the World Pulse
I am glad to have found you ;). My friend Fiona who lives in France posted a link to your website this weekend. I checked you out and here I am. It is not yet 8:30 in the morning here by the Chesapeake Bay in the state of Maryland, US and already I have emailed with a friend in London and agreed to write her a recommendation on Linkedin (check her out--Margaret Rooke--she's a great writer and does a lot of CSR work). Of course, I'd forgotten what it takes to make a recommendation on Linkedin so I had to Google that before I could get the job done. At Christmas while on vacation in Arizona I met Yvonne. Before that, we had known each only through our blogs. Hers is http://timetoconsiderthelilies.com/ and mine is www.blarneycrone.com. We are fast friends now. I work as an executive coach and all my clients find me through the web (www.leadershipcoachdc.com)
I am enjoying an online writing course through the Writer's Center https://www.writer.org/ and have a project to complete this morning. I saw a great recipe yesterday for a cauliflower and walnut curry--just right for our weather this week--I'll google it later today. It has been snowing since Wednesday night and so on Thursday and Friday I worked online from home.
I can't imagine the frustration of knowing you could have the world at your fingertips but being denied the opportunity to connect, learn and enjoy yourself this way. I wish World Pulse the best of luck for Women Weaving the Web.

Hi Liz,
I love the way you write.. and that last paragraph couldn't have been better said. Sooooo true!
Going to try and connect with you on Linkedin... by the way I smiled when you said you'd google this, google that... coz Google has become a real friend of mine! We're just clicks away from great information, aren't we?
all the best,

Im glad that you found the use of internet very fulfilling and that it is facilitating your work and networking. I love this last statement I can't imagine the frustration of knowing you could have the world at your fingertips but being denied the opportunity to connect, learn and enjoy yourself this way.'
Thanks and keep sharing
This is great!
It is great your friend introduced you to World Pulse. World Pulse have been so many things for many of us. I am glad you now feel fulfilled and the world in your fingertips.

You describe your way of living which is the 21st century standard of living. Yes, we need technology and it has made our lives easier but the main input is how fast we can connect with people and the rest of the world. The 21st century = technology and no one should be deprived of this tool.
Thank you very much for this nice post.

Hi Liz,
Thank you for the eloquence. I believe so strongly in the power of influence and inspiration by showing and breaking through to the emotional-affective side of people. Your story doesn't just explain something, but instead it enlightens people to reflect and think. Its simplicity is ironic to its message, making the point of your story all the more powerful. Thank you so much for this!!!
Great reminder!
I had to chuckle a little when I read your piece, as I had done many of the same things this morning before logging on to World Pulse. It is easy for some us to forget how easy our access to information is, but this is something we should never forget! We must keep in mind how many women around the world desire this ease of access, yet must struggle so much for even a few minutes on the internet to communicate with others, share their stories, gather information and conduct business, Thank you for the personable and well-exemplified reminder!

Round Rock police report there is a new fraud that appears to be targeting senior citizens.
The victim receives contact from a person representing themselves as a Department of Homeland Security agent (in the so-called Secure Housing Department). The fraudster tells the victim that they have received a package at Homeland Security and it contains a check, usually from Readers Digest or similar company, in the amount of $495,000, issued to the victim.
However, the victim is given a phone number of 866-978-8178 and instructed to call Lloyds of London to place a 1 percent security deposit on the package. As the fraud continues, the victim is instructed to send various fees for registration, delivery, security, storage and taxes. The various fees are paid either to a Chase Bank account, a Wells Fargo bank account or by money order addressed to a Post Office Box.The various phone numbers used in this fraud are:(866) 978-8178(888) 342-7810(305) 440-1172(202) 470-3812(202) 470-3380(305) 440-1175There is no "Secure Housing Department" within the Department of Homeland Security. The Department of Homeland Security would not be involved in notifying "winners" of various companies' awards. Lloyds of London is not actually associated with this fraud and does not conduct business in this manner.
Should you receive contact for this or a similar sounding scheme, do not send any money and contact your local police department for additional assistance.

Kensington Books
No TAN LINES. The first book in the Barefoot William series.
"Hot, Sexy, Smart!"
New York Times author Carly Phillips.
There's a place where the ocean meets the shore, where kicking off your shoes and baring some skin is as natural as sneaking under the boardwalk for an ice cream cone and stolen kisses. But life isn't all a beach for Shaye Cates, even if her idea of an office is a shady umbrella at the water's edge equipped with cell phone and laptop. Steely-eyed Trace Saunders is the incredibly irksome fly in her coconut tanning oil. And running a kids' softball team with her long-time rival is going to have everyone in her little Florida town buzzing. Her scads of laid-back relatives and his whole uptight clan know that Shaye just wants to play ball while Trace thinks only of business. But beneath the twinkling lights of the ferris wheel, the magic of sea and sand can sweep away every inhibition...Suddenly, it's summertime, and the lovin' is easy.

Life's A Beach
Though his family owns the charming beachside town of Barefoot William, Aidan Cates is as down-to-earth as the locals. He's also practical to a fault and doesn't believe some psychic on the boardwalk can predict his future.
Jillian Mac is as free as the breeze, so when the hot stranger and his date mistake her for a fortune teller, she's ready to have some fun. But one devastating secret told, one mistaken identify revealed, and numerous long summer nights later, it's Jillie and Aidan who discover that sometimes love comes with a simple twist of fate.
Cameo appearances by the Richmond Rogues! Risk Kincaid, Psycho McMillan, and James Lawless.
No Sunshine When She's Gone is the 3rd book in the Barefoot Willams series by Kate Angell. It is also the first book that I have had the privilege to read by this amazing author. I loved this book so much I rushed to download the first two books in the series. Although this was the 3rd in the series at no time did I feel like I was lost or missing something. This book can totally be read as a stand alone in the series. Let me tell you a little about this wonderful story that has me hooked and craving the other books in the series.
This story is actually the story of 2 different couples, Aidan Cates and Jillie Mac , and Carrie White and Mike Burke. Both of their stories are intertwined. Jillie and Carrie work in Promotions for the Richmond Rogues Baseball team. Aidan and Mike are building their new Spring Training Facilities in Barefoot Williams, Florida. As the story starts, Aidan and his girlfriend mistake Jillie for a fortune teller at a pier carnival. Isn't he shocked to find out that she is not who he thinks she is. Not until later that night when they arrive at his sisters does he truly learn Jillies identity. It is also the night that Mike has meet his match in shy, quiet, sweet, innocent Carrie White. He is rude and aloof, refers to her as Vanilla. But under it all, he takes an interest in Carrie, and she in him, both realizing that there is more to the other than meets the eye.
Jillie is one to bend the truth at times, she is fiercely loyal, loves her family, protects her friends, and feels an instant attraction to Aidan. But Jillie has been burned in the past, is always looking for an escape route. She doesn't trust that Aidan's feelings could be as strong as hers, so she keeps trying to push him away. It is not until she stops running, starts to really look at the possibilities that she begins to realize that she and Aidan could have something amazing. Carrie is afraid to believe that Mike can actually see past the uncertain girl, the girl damaged by an abusive father, she is totally surprised by the direction that their friendship takes. Uncertain of a future, she tries to live in the moment and knows that she is a better person because of what Mike has brought into her life.
I truly love both couples. The humor in this story had me laughing hysterically at times. Mike and Jillie would bicker over Mike's treatment of Carrie, Aidan and Mike would commiserate over how Jillie would nail them to the wall if they did not watch their step. Mike was super protective and loving with Carrie, doing little things to try and make things easier for her without trying to suffocate her. Jillie and Aidan dancing around the attraction that they felt for each other, both couple finally getting to the heart of the matter and seeing a HEA in their futures.
If you are looking for a feel good book about friends, family, a lot of laughs and a wonder double HEA, then pick up a copy of No Sunshine When She's Gone by Kate Angell. You will get so much more than you ever expected. I loved wonderful story so much I had to give it 5 AMAZING Stars.
NIGHT OWL REVIEWS - Score: 5.00 / 5 - Reviewer Top Pick
Having read and LOVED No Strings Attached, the previous Barefoot Williams book I was very eager to get into this world. "No Sunshine When She's Gone" was just as amazing as book 2 in the series. I loved the characters and the way that Kate Angell manages to tell a story while also making the characters weasel their way into your heart. By then end of the book you are just undeniably happy to see how things worked out.
In her usual style Ms. Angell managed to create not one but two amazing relationships in this book. I honestly cannot say whether I liked Aidan & Jillian or Carrie & Mike's story better. And The town itself-Barefoot Williams- is most definitely one of my favorite settings in all the many books I've read. I love this beach town, everyone is so nice, and the scenic areas of the town just seem so dazzling. I think if there was ever a chance to visit a fictional world I would wish to visit Barefoot Williams.
Though this is the third book in the series, you can read it as a stand alone. But I promise you, once you delve into Kate Angell's world of sandy beaches, homey towns and hot romances that you will end up reading each and every book in the series one right after the other. They are just that good!
Jillie Mac isn't fortune teller but that doesn't stop one wickedly attractive Aidan Cates from thinking otherwise. So instead of setting him straight, she decides what's the harm in having some fun. But having more than one secret revealed may lead to more than either Jillian or Aidan ever expected. Is love in their future! Only time will tell!
BOOK PAGE: 'Sunny novel of love'.
ROMANTIC TIMES BOOK REVIEWS: TOP PICK, 4 1/2 stars. Angell's fun-filled cast of characters has old rivalries, intense history, loves lost and found, family ties, diverse pasts and two unlikely couples to root for. The story will keep readers up late into the night as it spirals into side plots that make you laugh one moment and frustrate you the next. Add Olive the parrot's hilarious cameos and this book has all the makings of an addicting tale.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY: Angell follows No Strings Attached with a delightful third book set in the quirky boardwalk town of Barefoot William and incorporating her even more popular Richmond Rogues baseball series. Jill Mac and her friend Carrie are in Florida to build fan support for the Rogues' new spring training facility, which will be built by handsome Aidan Cates, successful contractor and part of the family that runs the town. After Jill impulsively masquerades as a psychic and predicts Aidans breakup with his current girlfriend, he is intrigued and pursues Jill. Few obstacles slow down this romance, but Aidan and Jill's convincing relationship, as well as a matching one between Carrie and Aidan's second-in-command, dour Mike, and cameos by characters from previous books are appealing, and the author's lighthearted approach and warmth of the spring sunshine make this a winner.
FRESH FICTION: NO SUNSHINE WHEN SHE'S GONE is the newest installment in Kate Angell's fun Barefoot William series. I love reading about the beachside town of Barefoot William. No matter the weather, this series always brings the beach to me -- the feel of the sun, the smell of the great junk food, and the overall feeling of relaxation that comes with hanging out on the beach. Kate Angell does a great job of creating a sense of place with this series.
April 30, 2013 Kensington Books
READ the first chapter of NO STRINGS ATTACHED, book two in the Barefoot William series. This is Sophie and Dune's story. Beach, boardwalk, and romance.
Balmy ocean breezes…sweet coconut oil…glistening tanned bodies. There's no better place for romantic sparks to fly than at the beach.
As a professional volleyball player, Dune Cates attracts scores of pretty women who flock to his side. But only one has managed to get under his skin—sweet, naive, shy Sophie Saunders. Unlike the skimpily-clad beach groupies, Sophie marches to a beat all her own. And though she's afraid of the surf, burns in the sun, has two left feet, that doesn't stop her from trying every daring sport available on the boardwalk. Dune knows Sophie spells trouble, and he should keep his distance, especially since he's a no-strings-attached kind of guy. But he can't ignore an overwhelming instinct to protect her. And with the promise of ice cream sandwiches, merry-go-round rides and dreamy sunsets, it's only a matter of time before Dune gives in to the temptation of Sophie's soft lips.
Love is always sweeter in the summer.
Romantic Times Magazine gave NO STRINGS ATTACHED a reviewer 'Top Pick' - which is very exciting. "Angell's enchanting, warmhearted story gives readers a double dose of romance. Filled with wonderfully engaging characters, including an endearing hero, a shy yet courageous heroine and plenty of familiar faces, this is one very charming, feel-good tale."
Publisher's Weekly said: "sizzling romantic interludes…an endearing and humorous coming-of-age tale with a sweet heroine."

Cook County Sheriff Department officials Frank Bilecki and Cara Smith address Robbins residents Thursday night about problems within the village's police department. | Casey Toner/Sun-Times Media

Robbins Police Chief Mel Davis was fired Wednesday night amid a state investigation into the apparently phony law enforcement history of a part-time police captain who quit this week.
Davis said he was made the scapegoat for the controversy over the hiring of Douglas J. Smith to head the police department's internal affairs bureau.
"I'm disappointed, sad, frustrated and angry at the same time," Davis said. "I did due diligence when I did my job. I got trampled over."
The SouthtownStar reported that a state regulatory agency sent a letter to Davis and Mayor Tyrone Ward on Nov. 14, threatening to pursue charges against Smith for impersonating a police officer and unlawful use of weapons if he stayed on the job.
If Smith were not removed immediately, Davis and Ward could be charged with official misconduct, according to the letter from Kevin McClain, executive director of the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board.
Smith, 61, of South Holland, carried a handgun throughout his three months as a Robbins police captain, even though he did not complete mandatory firearm training as required under state law.
Davis said he sent an email to village officials Nov. 14, asking permission to fire Smith and saying he had Smith's termination papers drawn up. No one got back to him, he said.
"At this point, I'm at a loss for words," Davis said, adding that he learned of his firing through a letter mailed to his house.
He declined to say who sent him the letter, saying only that it came from "village officials."
Davis said he believes the department is now being run by Deputy Chief Hashi Jaco, who introduced him to Smith.
But Jaco said Thursday night that he has not been appointed acting police chief and is unaware of who's in charge of the police force now that Davis has been dismissed.
Ward could not be reached for comment Thursday.
Ward tapped Davis to be police chief in May, five months after about 200 rape kits, some nearly 30 years old, had languished untested in a police department evidence room. Davis' salary was set at $50,000.
Davis and Smith were among the police officers whom Ward pledged during an August news conference would clean up the department.
Authorities in Los Angeles, New Jersey and Georgia, where Smith claims to have worked in law enforcement, told investigators for the state training board that their records did not indicate that Smith ever worked for them, according to documents obtained by the SouthtownStar.
Those documents also show that Smith submitted to investigators as proof of his past employment with the Los Angeles Police Department a photocopy of an LAPD badge bearing the number 714 — the badge number of the fictional character Sgt. Joe Friday from the old TV show, "Dragnet."
Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart announced this week that he wants his department to take over the Robbins police force, citing mismanagement and serious problems within the department, including the hiring of Smith.
Sheriff's police have been assisting Robbins police with murder investigations, rape cases and patrols since February.
Cara Smith, Dart's chief of policy and communications, said Thursday evening that Davis' firing makes the sheriff's proposal all the more necessary.
"There's no one running the ship," she said. "There's an absence of leadership in the police department, and that's as close to a crisis as you can get."
While welcoming the sheriff's police assistance, Ward has rejected the idea of them taking over the police department.

"Star Trek"'s Captain James T. Kirk was my first crush. When I was five — and clearly part of a super nerdy family — my dad used to make up stories for me before bed. I was always an Ensign or a Yeoman on the Enterprise (with a sweet beehive, natch) in the tales and Kirk was, like, the beautiful, blond, manly hero. He was such a stud — and had a serious way with women. The guy bagged a new alien slave girl in every episode! How did he do it? Check out Captain Kirk's Guide To Women above!

STATE HOUSE – The term "social media" seems to stand in direct contradiction to any concept of privacy, but as concerns grow about federal government intrusion into personal information, more state legislatures are acting to protect the privacy of their residents' digital information.
With unanimous House passage Wednesday of 2014-H 7124A, Rhode Island stands poised to join the growing list of states taking action to protect the Fourth Amendment rights of social media account holders.

CORPUS CHRISTI - An accused murderer is jailed nearly one year later for the killing of 29-year-old Patrick Mark Brailey at the Smokin Waves Lounge.
Homicide detectives tracked 36-year-old Bacilio Rudy Hernandez to a home on Hiawatha Street yesterday.
On December 15, 2012, Brailey was shot once in the back during an argument at the now closed lounge on Water Street.
Police said the shooter fired into a crowd of people around 3:30 in the morning. He then took off in an SUV.
There's no further information available just yet on Hernandez's connection to the victim.
Hernandez, a known gang member, is held on a one million dollar bond in the Nueces County Jail.
The killing sparked an investigation into the Smokin Waves Lounge. TABC was told the owners were selling alcohol without a permit. The City of Corpus Christi and Nueces County officials also took a closer look when informed the business didn't have any permits to operate.
The owners were evicted from the leased space and never reopened the same business.

Johns Hopkins Health Alerts Topic Page:
Depression and Anxiety
View All Depression and Anxiety Health Alerts
What is a mood disorder? Elation, sadness, anxiety, griefwe all feel these emotions at various times in our lives. Sadness may be caused by a setback or a loss, while anxiety may be triggered by a threat or a challenge. It is perfectly natural for our emotions to wax and wane with the ups and downs of our lives. The difficulty comes when these feelings do not go awayor when they seemingly occur out of the blue without explanationand begin to interfere with our daily functioning. When thats the case, a mood or an anxiety disorder may be present.
- Mood disorders include depression and bipolar disorder (a term used to indicate an illness with episodes of both depression and mania). Usually, both depression and bipolar disorder are episodicthat is, bouts of illness are separated by periods of remission.
- Anxiety disorders are characterized by either recurrent or persistent psychological and physical symptoms that interfere with normal functioning, continue in the absence of obvious external stresses, or are excessive responses to these stresses. Specific anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and phobic disorders.
How Johns Hopkins can help: In any given year, about one in four Americans develops at least one mental health disorder, according to a national survey. Luckily, effective treatments are available. Proper diagnosis and treatment of mood disorders leads to a remission of symptoms in about 80 percent of cases. If you or someone you care about has a mood disorder, obtaining accurate information is an important part of the treatment plan.
- At Johns Hopkins Health Alerts, Karen L. Swartz, M.D., Director of Clinical and Educational Programs at the Johns Hopkins Mood Disorders Center, and her colleagues review the most up-to-date information on recent advances for managing mood and anxiety disordersincluding the newest medical and non-medical tools.
- Youll find articles on: antidepressant therapy, the genetics of depression, trends in psychotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, animal-assisted therapy, alternative treatments for depression and anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, and much more.

Villa Nefkens by Mecanoo Architects
Mecanoo Architects have designed the Villa Nefkens in Wageningen, The Netherlands.
Description from Mecanoo Architects:
Villa Nefkens is beautifully situated in Wageningen where the border of the Veluwe and the Gelderse Vallei and the Rhine River meet one another. The Nefkens family found this extraordinary location on which to build their home, affording them magnificent views of the Rhine. The design for the Nefkins villa takes its inspiration from the beautiful views from the living room and main bedrooms and also from the spacious kitchen/lounge area toward the big garden. Large terraces elevate the house to just above grade, making the house appear as if it is floating. The villa's transition from interior to exterior is gradual and a canopy surrounding the whole house provides beautifully framed views while allowing the outdoor spaces to be enjoyed in the summer and fall. The round forms of the villa express the wish of the family to stay close to nature while simultaneously realising an individual design.

Gunstringer and the perils of repetitive arm motions
Max and Tara grabbed Twisted Pixel CEO Michael Wilford at PAX this weekend and ruthlessly grilled him about their new Kinect title, The Gunstringer. In the process, she created what will no doubt be an animated GIF by the morning in demonstrating the actions player two performs to win in the multiplayer mode.
They talked about the challenges of developing action games using Kinect and how the game's concept plays neatly into the mechanics, how it keeps players from getting worn out and how it helps keep players from feeling like an idiot while performing the game's actions.
Between this, Rise of Nightmares and Sesame Street: Once Upon A Monster, I'm happy to see some games arrive for this control system that look like real games and not just tech demos. Pretty soon, I'll have to rearrange my living room to take advantage of some of these titles.

7 Movie Mentors Who Failed Miserably
Subscribe to our newsletter
The desire for a mentor is deep-seated in the human race. Someone to teach hand-to-hand combat and ancient ninja skills so that we can go on to save the universe would be great, but most people would settle for some guidance with their daily whomp-rat hunting or help teaching bullies a lesson or two.
However, after really taking a look at mentors through a totally unbiased lens (movies), we think we might have to change our minds. Obviously if mentors used their awesome powers to save everyone and never gave their mentees a chance, the movies would get boring and pointless. But did they really have to intentionally withhold universe-saving powers and information in order to teach a lesson to a snot-nosed kid who hardly knows a Sarlacc from a hole in the ground?
Yoda (from the original Star Wars Trilogy)
We've (unfortunately) seen from the prequels that Yoda can really kick some bad-Jedi butt when he puts his mind to it. He's fought off hoards of them over the course of his lifetime. In fact, only nineteen or so years previous to the original trilogy, we see him flying all over the place in so-physically-impossible-only-CGI-could-make-it-happen ways.
If Yoda really is nine hundred years old, nineteen years is nothing. That would be like two in human years. Living things don't, in general, flip around like gymnasts on meth and then two years later hobble around like cripples one breath away from paraplegia. Aging doesn't exactly work like that.
The point is this: Yoda let Luke go off to fight Darth Vader, the most dangerous and evil person in the history of ever, after making the kid run half a mile and do some one-handed vertical pushups instead of, say, going himself. Yoda's got nine centuries of Jedi goodness flowing through his veins, Vader's got about forty years, and Luke has about five minutes. No matter how much you, as a mentor, are vested in your pupil's success, you might not want to risk millions of innocent lives and the fate of the universe on his ability to make a pouty face (which is about all he has going for him given his limited training).
Falcor (from The Neverending Story)
Okay, so Falcor is more of an oversized sparkling puppy with creepy eyes than a true mentor, but he's close enough for our purposes.
Over the course of The Neverending Story, luck dragon Falcor manages to fly in the face of the Nothing, the most powerful force inside Bastian's head. We even see him as one of the last existing creatures after the rest of the imaginary world falls apart, able to survive after even the world itself is little more than dust. And all of this because, as a luck dragon, he has the power to (mostly) show up just in the nick of time.
So riddle us this: wouldn't it have been a lot luckier if all of that bad stuff hadn't happened in the first place? Sure, Bastian had to learn to trust himself and that he had power, blah, blah, blah, but wouldn't it have been so much easier if Falcor had just flown into the human world (as he demonstrates that he can, when he traumatizes those unfortunate-looking bullies at the end), grabbed Bastian, and whisked him away to Fantasia without all the dying, crying and heart-wrenching despair? Admit it; you know you cried a little when the horse sank into the Swamps of Sorrow.
Gandalf (from the Lord of the Rings trilogy)
Now here's a deus ex machina if ever there was one. We're not going to say that Tolkien isn't a genius who changed the face of fantastical fiction forever, and invented several genres single-handedly in the process. However, the character of Gandalf seems to have been used to tidy things up just a tad too conveniently.
The guy can fight a giant fire-rock-monster-demon for weeks, without stopping to eat, drink, or sleep, and come out on the other side of it with a snazzy new hairdo. He can use his staff to make a bright light, and talk to moths, and probably a bunch of other cool things. So why doesn't he just leap onto an eagle, fly to Mordor himself, and dispose of the ring instead of making everyone's life suck?
He hides behind this thing that he's got bigger plans than to save all of humanity, elvendom, dwarf-race and hobbithood from enslavement and genocide. You kind of want to tell him to man up already. Turning a hairy-footed child into a hero who's so screwed up by the end that he has to take the elf-boat to lala-land is just not worth seeing what the poor guy "is made of".
Fin Raziel (from Willow)
Granted, when Willow Ufgood discovered the good witch, she was quite unfortunately turned into some sort of big-tailed rat creature, (no, not an opossum, thank you very much Wikipedia making it possibly hard to wield any of her usual powers. But was her best bet really to turn to a farmer with no magical training whatsoever?
Seriously. The whole of the world is in danger of being taken over by the evil Bavmorda, and instead of seeking out a real wizard (and we know from earlier scenes that such powerful wizards exist), Fin Raziel puts all her money on a man who has little more going for him than a "big heart." She's not a star example of wizardry herself, leading the whole magical battle to be decided by Willow's silly little magic trick of hiding a baby under a table. A trick which Fin Raziel didn't even teach him, come to think of it, and that Bavmorda only fell for because apparently she has the attention span of a gnat. You almost wonder if things wouldn't have been better if Fin Raziel hadn't been involved at all.

A good pilot is always learning -- how many times have you heard
this old standard throughout your flying career? There is no truer
statement in all of flying (well, with the possible exception of
"there are no old, bold pilots.")
Aero-News has called upon the expertise of Thomas P. Turner,
master CFI and all-around-good-guy, to bring our readers -- and us
-- daily tips to improve our skills as aviators. Some of them, you
may have heard before... but for each of us, there will also be
something we might never have considered before, or something that
didn't "stick" the way it should have the first time we memorized
it for the practical test.
Look for our daily Aero-Tips segments, coming each day to you
through the Aero-News Network.
The single-engine service ceiling of a multiengine airplane is
the density altitude at which the airplane, at maximum weight in a
clean configuration (gear up, flaps up, inoperative engine's cowl
flaps closed and propeller feathered), is capable of climbing at 50
feet per minute. The published single-engine service ceiling (SESC)
for the most popular light twins is usually in the 3500-5000 foot
range... density altitude. Turbocharging usually raises the SESC to
12,000-15,000 feet.
Why should a multiengine pilot know the SESC of the airplane he
or she is flying?
Lose an engine on takeoff and you'll need to climb to a safe
altitude before you can maneuver to land. If the density altitude
at the departure airport is near the airplane's SESC and the
airplane is near maximum takeoff weight, it may not be possible to
make this safe climb to a maneuvering height. Or if there are
significant obstacles, the plane may be able to begin the climb but
won't have the power to outclimb the obstacle. The pilot of a
multiengine airplane would have no choice but to reduce power on
both engines and land nearly straight ahead if an engine quit under
these conditions. Attempting to climb out runs a very real risk of
colliding with terrain, or the temptation to attempt a turn at too
slow a speed and lose control of the aircraft.
Similarly, if an engine quits above SESC and the pilot flies at
"blue line" speed (maximum single-engine performance, Vyse) the
airplane will descend at the lowest rate of descent until it
reaches approximately SESC. Overflying mountains? Consider that
losing an engine in a twin may not present very many more options
that it would in a single-engine airplane…you should still
plan your route to provide an "out" to lower terrain or an
off-airport landing should an engine quit and the terrain below you
is above your SESC. Even a turbocharged twin could drift down to
ground level over the Rocky Mountains.
Airplane weight makes a big difference in single-engine
performance, so it will raise the SESC. Whenever possible, fly a
multiengine airplane at the lowest safe weight (that provides
sufficient fuel and reserves) to improve your SESC and
single-engine climb rate.
Aero-tip of the day: Look at the density
altitude, and consciously consider the relationship of takeoff and
terrain density altitude to your airplane's single-engine service

Target Stores to Stop Selling Farm-Raised Salmon, Will Now Carry Wild-Caught Only
Categories: Health Hazard
Pretty conscientious for a national retailer.
Now, all the frozen, fresh, and smoked salmon you find at Target will be the wild variety. The company will transition all of its sushi product to the wild stuff by the end of 2010.
The changeover has won some major acclaim with advocates for wild-caught salmon like the Monterrey Bay Aquarium and Greenpeace, who say this could usher in a wave of retailers moving toward more environmentally conscious product. While farm-raised salmon creates pollution and contributes to adverse chemicals and parasites finding their way into the environment, wild-caught salmon is one of the best sustainable choices in seafood today. Wild stocks are carefully managed and monitored so that fishing them has little, if any, long-term impact.
It's a pretty bold move by Target, and it would be great if other national retailers took note. For its next trick, Target could take on the ever-expanding tuna industry. Now, that would be a shakeup.

Conan O'Brien sidekick Andy Richter understands that telling your family you're gay can be a difficult thing to do. That's why this holiday season, Richter has a limited-time offer in which he, comedian Deon Cole, the Basic Cable Band and George Takei will inform your relatives for you.
"Coming out to your family during the holidays is never easy," Ritcher says during the faux commercial that aired on Tuesday night's "Conan." "It can be a delicate process, and sometimes you need a helpful nudge. That's where I come in."
For $99.95, Richter will tell your loved ones that you're gay. For an additional $19.95, Cole will tag along. But the pièce de résistance, and costing just an extra $1.95 (what a deal!), is homosexual icon George Takei popping out from behind a curtain to congratulate you for sharing your secret. "Welcome to the wonderful world of gay!" he says enthusiastically. But the "Star Trek" actor comes bearing a stern warning for family members: "If any of you motherf**kers give him s**t about it, I am going to come back and f**k your s**t up."

Do you think the projectiles should fly faster?
Since they are so easy to dodge at long distance...

I think there should be more projectiles that take in account which direction you are moving at the time they are fired. This way there will be a logical reason to play aggressively. So if you dodge forward while firing, the projectile will take on the momentum of the weapon operator. As it is right now, other than link primary there is not a reason in the world for someone to charge someone else with projectile weapon other than link out in the open, because the plasma gap condenses, unless they don't have a weapon or are trying to set up a combo or something. This is why I like ws off, becuase there are actual situations where you don't have to act defensive to win when the other person is at same skill level.
|30th Apr 2005, 11:05 AM
You can fire a non-charged ASS rifle grenade while dodging forward. It goes almost as far as a fully charged one.
And no to the original thread question. Learning the projectiles speeds are part of the learning curve of 2k4 and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Plus i don't know bout' you guys but when I run up against a good rox player I can't dodge them for poop they come at me so fast haha.

What? flak shell?
No.Just.... no
|30th Apr 2005, 12:57 PM
Yes, of course. Hey, all weapons should be hit-scan.
The second you lob a grenade, it shoot travel towards the target at 1million miles/h and injure/kill it.
Flak shells, same thing.
But hey, the game speed should be a standard 300%. To maintain some balance.
I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.

Should projectiles in UT2004 fly faster? Maybe. In UT3? Highly doubt it. UT2004's whole dynamic is based on the dodge-jump, which is going to be removed for UT3. It made the maps huge (look at Goliath, FFS), which consequently made hitscan overpowering and projectiles underpowered because you're quite often not very close to your opponent. Perhaps having some acceleration on the rockets in UT2004 would alleviate some of this problem. Or maybe adding your current momentum to the rockets' would fix the problem, because like bri said, there's really no reason to play aggressively in this game. It's all about power-up control and hanging back and wailing on people with hitscan unless you're around the power-ups, in which case projectiles can actually help. I play aggressively all the time, and I get owned because of it. At a distance I get hit with shock beams left and right, then when I try to move in, I get comboed. Nowhere in the transaction are projectiles involved in my death most of the time. People say that hitscan doesn't rule this game, and I don't believe that for a second. If you suck at hitscan, you're bound to not be a competitive player. I suck at hitscan, so I play the role of the crazy guy who dodges like a monkey on speed and flings projectiles everywhere, and on servers where skilled players troll, I get completely owned every time.
Anyway, I don't see projectile speed being an issue in UT3 because it's supposed to be more close-quarters.

well you can fling the spidermines with your own momentum and thats when it gets spammy... but like , with slower projectile speeds and slower movement speeds , not only does the game cater better for people with lousy computers , but i think it can make the game feel 'bigger' in a way, like you think wooaahh hes so far away yet i predicted his moves and hit him with the stinger... there will still be a place for the blinding speed of hitscan, but if the game can be made to be closer-quarters and you can see more stuff flying around you, then it will be cool...
This world is not perfect.Everything is where they will be.

if the map to player scale is the same they should make projectiles much faster but i think that would suck and its likely they are adressing player movement, and map scale at epic already.

if you look at it from a strictly default player speed point of view, then it controls the 'map scale' ... the speed at which you travel through your own bodywidth might be arbitiary, but the feeling of size in a map is directly related to it... you can have pointlessly large maps, or cramp undersized maps, and then you can also have perfectly sized maps like the adjustment of scale of deck17 compared to deck16 (in ut99) , and player size relative to a level like this is then judged by all of us... right now, i think the playersize is abit too small compared to that level...

I really agree, I'm a very agressive player and I own with Flak and Rocket and because the hitscans, mostly shock, are overpowered, it make guys like me and Turn2Ashesh, worthless in big maps, unless we can play lame with hitscan too. I almost just get killed by shock combo whores, so to be even better, I had to get use to this lame gun so I would own at close and not get too much owned at far.
Next UT gonna own so much, just when they said (there will be a lot more close-fights) I was like Cause its true as they said, that most fights in UT2004 are Medium-Range...

House cats and ferrets can get the SARS virus and can probably pass it on to us. This makes sense given that the virus originated with civet cats in China, before it jumped to humans. Disease expert Robert Shope says, "You might want to quarantine the pets as well as the people."
But housecats didn't play a direct role in the recent SARS epidemics, despite the fact that infected cats were found in a Hong Kong apartment complex where there was a SARS epidemic last year. "These animals in all likelihood did not play a significant role in spread of (SARS) to humans," says Dr. Klaus Stohr, the World Health Organization's chief SARS scientist.
Since SARS started out in cats, it's not a surprise that housecats are susceptible to the virus, but ferrets are another matter. Researcher Albert D.M.E. Osterhaus says, "Cats and ferrets are only distantly related, so this demonstrates the promiscuous nature of the virus." In China, where SARS got started, markets are still selling exotic raccoon-dogs, ferret badgers and civets that have been found harboring a virus that's almost identical to SARS. They weren't sold during the epidemic, but are now for sale again, meaning the epidemic could get started again as well.
