The Big Optician Newcastle is one of Newcastles main Ray-Ban stockist. Both Big Optician Newcastle stores have a large selection of Ray-Ban sunglasses and spectacle frames in stock.
Ray-Ban was founded in 1937 after Lieutenant John McCready returned from a balloon flying mission in the 1920's and complained that the sun had permanently damaged his eyes. He wanted to create a type of sunglasses that would not only provide superb protection from the sun but also look elegant and stylish.
Ray-Ban's were later introduced into the USA Army Air Corps, where their pilots immediately adopted the sunglasses and they became an essential part of standard issue kit.
Ray-Ban sunglasses are one of the most recognised sunglass brands in the world. It is the fastest selling sunglass brand at The Big Optician Newcastle.
Hundreds of pairs of Ray-Bans have made appearances in Hollywood films, the first dates back to the 1961 movie, Breakfast At Tiffany's starring Audrey Hepburn. Ray Ban have also featured in the films: Top Gun; The Blues Brothers; Risky Business; Reservoir Dogs; Men In Black, amongst a multitude of others. Check out the must-see Ray-Ban 5 minute movie on Youtube.

Pixie Lott was pictured enjoying the LA sunshine in January 2010. Pixie was wearing a fantastic pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer Rare Prints 2140 in Yellow, whilst Elin Nordegren was seen also in January spending some family time with hubby Tiger Woods and kids in Windermere, Florida. Erin who was looking as elegant as ever, despite the recent domestic turmoil, was wearing a pair of over sized Ray-Ban CATS 5000 model 4125 in stylish black.
Simon Cowell and Russell Brand have both been spotted in LA during December wearing their Ray-Bans. Simon was later pictured in the not so sunny Newcastle upon Tyne in January 2010 still wearing his Ray-Ban aviators. Incidentally, like Erin, Russell was also wearing Ray-Ban CATS 5000 (photographed as he was leaving Hollywood's Viper Room recently) proving Ray-Ban is a truly unisex brand.
Ray Ban is popular on both sides of the Atlantic and with A Listers of all ages. Lady GaGa and Fearne Cotton were both photographed in London during December 2009 wearing the New Clubmaster RB2186 in Red Havana.
Keith Little owner of The Big Optician Newcastle said 'Wearing sunglasses is not only about looking good it is also a key way of protecting your eyes from damaging UV light. Anyone with children needs to have UV eye protection for their kids front of mind. Ray-Ban design some of the coolest sunglasses on the market, and with their Ray-Ban Juniors, they have combined their up to the minute eye for what is cool, with 100% UV protection for children. If you want to ensure your childs eyes have optimum protection against the sun, whilst still retaining their unique sense of fashion, then a pair of Ray-Ban Juniors fits the bill'

The Big Optician is one of the only stockists of Lindberg frames in the North East and we guarantee you the best pricing.
It was not until the beginning of the 1980's when the Danish optometrist Poul-Jorn Lindberg started needing spectacles himself that he really became aware of what it is like to wear spectacles. His views were clear: A spectacle frame is like a scaffold which one wears on one's face – heavy, stiff and uncomfortable. Rather than trying to find faces to suit these scaffolds, why not make the scaffolds to suit the faces? He started working with the architect Hans Dissing and together they conceived a different frame-building system: Air Titanium. With Air Titanium and the ensuing frame concepts LINDBERG has revolutionised the international market for eyewear, has been awarded a large number of the most prestigious design prizes in the world and has made life easier and more beautiful for spectacle wearers – worldwide.
Each Lindberg frame is handcrafted exclusively for the wearer and with frames weighing as little as 1.9 grams Lindberg eyewear is of the most lightweight in the world. The frames are of beautiful, minimalistic designs without screws, rivets and welds. Lindberg's patented and prize-winning frame building system has made it possible to create a unique and personal frame for every individual – perfect in shape, colour and size.
Staff at The Big Optician are Lindberg-trained and will be happy to talk to you in more detail and demonstrate the benefits of Lindberg frames when you call into the practices.

Environmental Education in New Jersey: A Call to Action
Section 2
Purpose, Goals, and Design of the Plan
The purpose of Environmental Literacy in New Jersey: A Call to Action (referred to as A Call to Action), is to cultivate an environmentally literate citizenry. The commission and work group adopted a description for environmental literacy that is based on descriptions used by the Environmental Education and Training Partnership and Environmental Literacy Council. It reads as follows:
* Natural systems and the interactions between the living and non-living environment;
* Choices they make as humans, including as consumers, affect the environment;
* Choices can either help or harm the environment and the earth's ability to sustain human and other life;
* How to deal sensibly with problems that involve scientific evidence, variability, uncertainty, and economic, aesthetic and ethical considerations; and,
* What they need to do - individually or as part of a community - to keep the environment healthy, sustain its resources, and create a good quality of life for themselves, their children, and future generations.
An environmentally literate person is able to understand the complex relationships that exist between nature, people, and the ways in which people live their daily lives. Using this understanding, this person can become motivated to think and act responsibly regarding the environment. The cultivation of an environmentally literate person transpires over many years through an individual's collective experiences and lessons about natural and built systems, green practices, and sustainability.
The field of environmental education provides the necessary foundation for in-depth learning about the environment. In New Jersey, environmental education experiences and information are delivered daily into peoples' lives by various media forms as well as through classrooms, homes, the outdoors, workplaces and employers, communities and technology. Environmental literacy thus depends greatly upon the efforts of numerous environmental education providers and practitioners. This relationship between environmental literacy and environmental education is explored further in Section 3.
The ultimate benefactors of A Call to Action are New Jersey adults, families and youth of all ages. The targeted audiences for using A Call to Action are New Jersey's environmental education providers and practitioners. Providers include the governmental agencies, schools, colleges and universities, educational facilities, nature centers and parks, organizations, companies, foundations and media sources that develop, provide or support environmental education and that are largely based in New Jersey. Practitioners include the teachers, professors, naturalists, instructors, scientists, counselors, scout leaders, volunteers, public and private sector employees, parents and youth who deliver environmental education in various instructional settings throughout New Jersey.
Environmental Literacy in New Jersey: A Call to Action, is New Jersey's third environmental education master plan. It is intended for use by environmental education professionals as a five-year planning and action plan, with a timeframe for delivery between 2010 through 2015. A Call to Action is designed to guide, align and coordinate, improve and recognize, promote and monitor environmental education initiatives in New Jersey, in school-based settings as well as informal instructional settings.
During such economically challenged times, A Call to Action puts into motion state level strategies to increase opportunities for partnerships, collaboration and the leveraging of funds, without stressing already-limited services and resources. These strategies will enable state leaders to more effectively and efficiently coordinate environmental education activities between and within agencies and with large-scale educational efforts, as well as share with environmental education professionals information about the state's priorities and any new resources and opportunities related to the field.
The center-piece of A Call to Action is New Jersey's Environmental Literacy Plan (ELP). The intent of the NJ ELP is to cultivate the environmental literacy of students in grades pre-K through 12. This plan provides a framework for New Jersey schools to expand and improve their environmental education programs. It reflects many of the priorities of the NJ Department of Education and how resources are already being used to integrate environmental content and skills into various school-based initiatives, as well as how federal funds for environmental education will most likely be used, pending passage of the No Child Left Inside bill. Regardless of whether this bill passes, the NJ ELP will provide useful guidance to the NJ environmental education providers that provide services to New Jersey students. Details regarding state and national trends in environmental education are discussed further in Section 4. Plans to accommodate these federal initiatives, along with state-level action strategies to be carried out by the commission, work group and other partners, are described in Section 5.
This plan also issues a "call to action" directly to New Jersey environmental education providers and practitioners to take ownership of it by participating in its implementation, contributions and results. It unites all environmental education efforts by identifying the overarching purpose of environmental literacy and introduces four goal-oriented strategic initiatives that can be supported locally. They are:
Each strategic initiative is accompanied by background information, the overarching goal of the initiative, what the environmental education community can do to help implement or support it, actions recommended for specific audiences, and metrics for measuring success. These actions and a timeline are presented in chart form and address three broad audiences: adults (in any and all capacities as individuals, community members, business leaders, parents or consumers), educators (formal and informal, all ages), and youth. The four strategic initiatives are explored further in Section 6.
By moving forward this framework of realistic and practical state level and locally based strategies, A Call to Action will help strengthen New Jersey's ability to cultivate an environmentally literate citizenry. Through its implementation New Jersey should benefit, even during economically constrained times, by improving upon the delivery and use of existing environmental education resources and services and by laying proper groundwork for the use of fiscal resources secured during the years ahead.

Optical Oxygen Sensors for Applications in Microfluidic Cell Culture

Abstract: The presence and concentration of oxygen in biological systems has a large impact on the behavior and viability of many types of cells, including the differentiation of stem cells or the growth of tumor cells. As a result, the integration of oxygen sensors within cell culture environments presents a powerful tool for quantifying the effects of oxygen concentrations on cell behavior, cell viability, and drug effectiveness. Because microfluidic cell culture environments are a promising alternative to traditional cell culture platforms, there is recent interest in integrating oxygen-sensing mechanisms with microfluidics for cell culture applications. Optical, luminescence-based oxygen sensors, in particular, show great promise in their ability to be integrated with microfluidics and cell culture systems. These sensors can be highly sensitive and do not consume oxygen or generate toxic byproducts in their sensing process. This paper presents a review of previously proposed optical oxygen sensor types, materials and formats most applicable to microfluidic cell culture, and analyzes their suitability for this and other in vitro applications.

I was dx in sept and as the weather starts to get a little better I am getting nervous and excited to start cycling outside again. I have been cycling inside for 1- 1.5 hours and I tend to go low a lot, so I am nervous about cycling long distances by myself. I would love any tips on managing bg while cycling (have omnipod and dexcom) and any good supplies to use. Thanks for the help!!

Not a big gu lover, but I do like chomps. I am in appleton, wisconsin, but I wish I lived where it was warmer so I could do more outside!!
Hi Megan --
Move to Cali: Cycling season never ends!! (It's warm and sunny today on Feb 21 -- about 72 degrees :)
Hammer Nutrition products use long chain carbs, which are especially good for those long rides when eating standard glucose carbs will get you down simply because of the volume needed. Conventional wisdom points to a max intake of 60g/carbs per hour, but this is based on single source carbs (glucose only). If you use 2:1 ratio carbs (glucose/fructose) you can achieve 90g/hour intake levels, and apparently they are easier on the stomach than glucose-only based carbs. PowerBars use this ratio.
On long races (12 and 24 hours long) I used Hammer's Perpetuem drink mix, using maltodextrin and protein (protein goes in slower and lasts longer than carbs). Hammer now makes Perpetuem Solids.
Right on Mike I live 3 miles from Hammer nutrition here in Montana and have been using the Perpetuem solids which are easy to use while cycling plus how many --- monitor my intake to consume during long distance. I also Skate ski Nordic going to west Yellowstone for a 50 k Race next weekend will be red lining my Body. fuel and pre fuel I do 1 cup of brown rice before the race it is so important to have the long chain carbs working for me.
Excellent. Good luck on the race, Mr. Lucke (like you need any, eh?).
Thanks mike ya I have had to work harder with a last name like I have-- Check out our MontanabikeHostel.com plan a trip for some Cycling. love to do some Cycling with you. take care Mike.
>> MontanabikeHostel.com
What an awesome service, Bob! Makes me wanna come ride my MTB way up north there (not right now, though...).
So, I did a temp basal 60 minutes before of 65%, I ate enough carbs to be 130 before I started on bike (inside) and I had g2 in my water bottle. Down to 50 by 30 minutes in and ate 3 glucose tabs and tried to keep going because I am stubborn and I am so annoyed by how many workouts I have had to stop. Any new suggestions for me...happened today , too, on my elliptical after a temp basal of 70% an hour, half of banana before....I was 60 at 20 minutes. Should I just suspend my insulin for the workout? I am wondering if Iam still honeymooning?? Would that have anything to do with it? Thanks!
Hi Megan ya keep fueling every 20min on the bike, or try less insulin if you are doing Lantus AM dose start with 1 less unit at a time, then see what you Bg is. Keep trying you will figure it out don't give up.
If you are eating right before you start exercising, remember not very many foods kick in faster than 30 minutes so if you start exercising immediately, you will drop fast at the start as the food hasn't had time to begin raising your blood glucose yet which could be contributing to the early/fast b.s. decline.
i have been eating 20-30 minutes before...but I now have been going low all day. I posted in the general area to see if there are suggestions. I am only doing a basal of .05 and suspending like 6 hours a day...not sure if it is my pancreas kicking in or from exercise everyday. getting frustrated...I just want to live my normal active life!
When I started biking, I found that insulin became way more effective when I was active. I would reduce to -90% and still felt like I needed to chug soda/juice to stay level. The more I biked, the better that became, since you body gets much better at "economy." Now I can eat far less but ride much longer. It gets easier!

What you said is not the opposite of what I said, it's just a different analogy.
10 Questions for Jon Jones
Sherdog.com: Can you discuss, generally, what happened during the brawl with Cormier leading up to and including the action that took place after he placed his hands on you?
Jones: You saw what happened. Basically, we came out, face-to-face, and he put his hand around my neck, and, you know, I kind of kicked into a self-defense type of mode, and we went at it. Fortunately, nobody got hurt. It's not something that I'm proud of and I've apologized several times to the Fertitta family and to [UFC President] Dana White and the MGM Grand, as well as all of the fans who saw that. It's definitely not what I'm about or what I stand for, but I also respect myself and I won't be assaulted like that, especially in public. But that's something that I'm looking to get beyond, and hopefully that situation doesn't stick to me and Daniel too long. I want people to focus on the actual competition; but yeah, that's not my proudest moment.
Sherdog.com: Was that a preview in any way of the intensity that fans can expect for you and Cormier to bring to the fight in September?
Jones: Well, you can't really judge a fight like that and say that's what's really going to happen in our actual fight. There were a lot of people holding him down, and there were a lot of people holding me down. I couldn't really throw a solid punch because there were a lot of people grabbing onto my arms, so it's hard to gauge what that meant.
Sherdog.com: Why did you feel it was necessary to be apologetic and to exhibit a calm demeanor during your interview on ESPN later that day, particularly given Cormier's name calling throughout the segment, and did you come off as the bigger guy?
Jones: I just tried to be calm, cool and collected during that interview, you know? It's bad enough that people look at our sport as being barbaric and uncivilized. I was actually still heated and still ramped up, but I was able to control my emotions and not to come off as a fool to the general public. I was already remorseful and regretful about the situation, so I figured that being on national television that yelling and screaming and being immature wasn't going to help anything at all, so I tried not necessarily to be the bigger guy but to try not to sabotage the reputation the UFC and what we actually stand for. At the end of the day, we're mixed martial artists and we're not barbaric cage fighters.Sherdog.com: Can you address the different challenge offered by the substitution of the shorter, 5-foot-11, more compact Cormier as opposed to 6-foot-4 Alexander Gustafsson?
Jones: Yeah, they have completely different styles. Gustafsson's a kickboxer with good footwork and pretty fair standup game, where Cormier is primarily a wrestler and a brawler; so we're working against a different style and will have to use a different strategy and use a different training camp and different partners. But we're prepared for this challenge.
Sherdog.com: Do you expect him to try to make it an ugly fight to counter your range and game planning with a ground-and-pound strategy?
Jones: I'm totally aware of what he needs to do to try to be successful, and I know what I need to do to be successful. I have a very honest assessment of both of our games, and I'm sure that we'll come up with a pretty good plan for him.
Sherdog.com: Do you have a prediction?
Jones: My prediction is that I'm going to win this fight and that I'm going to win it in devastating fashion. That's the name of the game. Not only do I want to dominate the fight, but I really want to make a statement in this fight and really perform at a high level and do what is necessary to win.
Sherdog.com: Would you characterize the feelings of bad blood between you and Cormier as those between two guys who genuinely do not like each other?
Jones: Yeah, they're genuine. I'm not going to say that I hate him. I don't hate him. It's not even that I don't like him. It's just that I'm a fierce competitor. I'm a fierce competitor and he's a fierce competitor, and we both know what's ahead of us and that's real competition, good competition. You need to take on a certain attitude to be able to meet that challenge and to do your best, so we've both got our game faces on, and, unfortunately, those game faces are ugly.
Sherdog.com: What are your thoughts on your experience in Baltimore with the Teixeira at UFC 172? It was both the highest gate for a sporting event all-time at the Baltimore Arena and the second-highest gate for any event there behind The Rolling Stones at a venue that has featured Beyonce and Bruce Springsteen, among others?
Jones: Wow, I didn't know that. Honestly, it's just a testament to the UFC and the promotion and the advertising that was put behind such a great fight. Me and Glover Teixeira, we both had long winning streaks and we're both winners, and I just think that the people wanted to see a great competition and a great match, which it was. We both came and we fought our hearts out and there was lots of blood left in that octagon. We put our hearts on the line and we left it all out there, and the people were really satisfied when they left; but to answer your question, it's really just where the UFC is at and how fast we're growing and what a great promotion that is.
Sherdog.com: What would it mean for you to have a similar opportunity to participate in a fight like that in New York, a state in which you were born and raised and one in which MMA is currently still illegal?
Jones: I think mixed martial arts being legalized in New York State is just a matter of time. We have a lot of intelligent people working on this situation, and I think that every time that you lobby in your state that you're getting closer and closer. My dream is to fight at Madison Square Garden, and I think that, as a fighter, fighting at the Garden is [the] pinnacle. Muhammad Ali fought there, and Mike Tyson fought there. The greatest fighters of all-time have all gotten to compete at the Garden, so I think that our time will come. I think that our proponents and our people will continue to push for it, and I think that eventually, we won't be ignored. They just can't ignore us forever.
And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
Wow.. Google News Jon Jones and you will see some sensationalized headlines.....
'I will kill you': When UFC fighters get angry
Jon Jones: UFC Fighter Threatens To Kill Daniel Cormier In Off-Air ...
Jon Jones' death threat towards Daniel Cormier caught on tape
And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
Oh, those UFC fighters... they say the darnedest things.
It's halarious, if Jones said threatened to spit in D.C's face and D.C threaten to kill him, the fans would applaud D.C and call Jones a bitch for threatening to spit in another mans face. But because it was D.C who said it....well Jone's probably deserved it, cause he's so "phony". I laugh, curse, and tell inappropriate things to my friends, I don't do those things with my family or at work. Does that make me fake?
Scarface: Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, and fuck you, I'm out!
"I don't call the fighting in my films 'violent', I call it 'action'. An action film borders between fantasy and reality. If I were to be completely realistic in my films, you would call me a violent, bloody man. I would simply destroy my opponent by tearing his guts out. I wouldn't do it so artistically." ~Bruce Lee

Top 5 Muscat at the LCBO

Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Muscat grapes are used to make a variety of sweet dessert wines in just about every part of the wineworld and, more rarely, dry or semi-dry table wines. A fair amount of the dessert wines are fortified, though muscat is also used to produce wines from late harvest, botrytized or partially-dried grapes, as well as an increasingly popular style of semi-sweet sparkling wine, Moscato, originally from Piedmont, in Italy, but now produced in a growing number of countries. There are, in fact, a number of varieties bearing the name Muscat: Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains (the most frequent), Muscat of Alexandria, Black Muscat, Moscato Giallo, Muscat Ottonel, New York Muscat, etc. All these variations share an exuberant fruitiness, with aromas of peach or apricot, as well as floral and/or spicy notes. They also bear a large number of synonyms, depending on whether they are planted in French-, Spanish-, German-, Italian-speaking or other countries. Among the numerous appellations where muscat is present, notable examples include the vin doux naturels of Southern France (Frontignan, Beaumes-de-Venise, Rivesaltes, etc.), the muscats of Alsace (where the grape is also used in traditional white blends), Samos Muscat from Greece, Moscatels from Portugal and Spain and, here in Canada, a number of wines in Nova Scotia where Muscat Ottonel and New York Muscat play a successful and important role.

On Dec. 3, my friend and I flew back to Charlotte from Tampa, where my friend had been to see a medical specialist.
At the Tampa airport, we were both randomly selected to go through the full-body scanner. Going through the scanner was uncomfortable and a bit creepy, but I didn't think it was a big deal until I tried to leave the scanner.
I assumed I was finished, but a female Transportation Security officer yelled at me for "trying to get away from her." She told me I had to stand in front of her - while I was still barefoot and trying to watch out for my stuff, which had gone through a different scanner - until my scan was read.
I told her I had never undergone this process and was a bit afraid, and she laughed at me and told me I didn't know what I was talking about.
The woman grabbed my wrist and said she had to look at my plastic watch. I tried to take it off and hand it to her, and she yelled at me not to interfere with her search.
Then, with no explanation, she pulled up my shirt, exposing my stomach and the top of my underwear, and stuck the top half of her fingers inside the waistband of my pants. I yanked my shirt down and told her she was not showing the top of my underwear and my naked stomach to anyone.
She put her hand up in front of me, threatened to call security and have me arrested if I "tried to get away from her again," and called security for a private screening.
I was not allowed to get my things. I was not allowed to put on my shoes. I was taken through a side door, down a dirty hall, to a dark dingy windowless storage room.
I had to pull up my shirt, and the woman put half her hand down my pants to search me. She complained that I should have cooperated originally and this would not have happened. Then I was allowed to put on my shoes and get my things.
I left the area and cried. I was touched and humiliated in ways that have never happened to me.
My friend was told nothing about me. She was made to wait, then also taken back for a private search, without being told why.
I had heard horror stories about TSA searches on the news but had no idea how bad I would feel until it was done to me. I was put in a frightening situation, had my body exposed to strangers, had nothing explained to me and felt dirty. I wasn't treated with the basic respect human beings deserve.
Next time I travel, I'll drive before I even consider flying. The time saved is not worth feeling the way I still do about what was done to me.
Local film
Not too long ago, I wrote about my friend Kent Smith, who, with the help of talented friends, made a feature film.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Reader Rupert Degas received extreme plaudits for his other Murakami recordings, both A Wild Sheep Chase and The Wind-up Bird Chronicle.
©2007 Naxos Rights International; (P)2007 Naxos Rights International
"A Japanese Philip K. Dick with a sense of humor....[Murakami belongs] in the topmost rank of writers of international stature." (Newsday)
"Loaded with...mystery, mysticism, sex and rock 'n' roll....Fast-moving and funny....The narrative voice...pulls like a diesel." (Los Angeles Times Book Review)
"This is a wholly endearing tale, very sexy, very adult, and in its own way very tender. Murakami is truly a novelist like no other." (Booklist)
"Another good listen from Murakami"
Murakami has grown on me. This is the third book of his I have listened to. Each time it has taken me a while to become interested in the story and characters - but once the story sets in and is well under way - I thoroughly enjoy it! I would recommend this book to anyone who has listened to other Murakami books and wants more. The distinguishing feature of this book it the narrator - one of the best I have listened to. Degas really enriches the story and does a great job with multiple voices.
"1408-style Detective Mystery"
Haruki Murakami is a master of surreal mystery moved forward with interesting characters and dark humor. Rupert Degas is a master of bringing them to life with an enthusiasm more exciting and delightful than we probably would have done even if we read the books ourselves. Haruki and Rupert make a magnificent duo.
So far I've listened to Kafka on the Shore; Dance, Dance, Dance; and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I really love them all. Dance, Dance, Dance is probably the lightest heart of the three but fun in different ways than the other two.
"Nipon Noir"
This book was a delightful suprise. Using American voices for everything except non-translateable Japanese let me concentrate on the Raymond Chandler - esque story line. The fantastical elements in the story might be a bit for some. I suspect this is a Japanese thing. If you like classic noir, you'll love this book. The "writer with no name" is a latter-day Philip Marlowe. I wish I had a library of tales like this! Not literature, a bit raunchy for some (prostitution), but Murakami rocks this book!
"Listen to 'Wild sheep chase' before this one!"
I've only hear Degas reading Murakami so I can't compare him to other authors but even with the western accent on a japanese tale I really enjoy his take on the characters.
You really undesrtand this book better if you read 'Wild sheep chease' before, otherwise it might start off a bit messy and you loose the meaning of many elements - the story and some characters follow the other book so it's really richer if you read them in order. Otherwise it's Murakami.. love him or leave him. I love him and can't get enough.
Love having someone read me a story. Fires in the hearth, rain on the roof, sunny days and surf. Good friends, good food and J S Bach.
"A Master Here"
Do you dream? Have you had any kind of unusual experience? How many of us follow these odd experiences?
Do you lust or love?
Do you fear or feel joy? Are you alive?
This is the stuff of Murakami.
In a kind of way this follows 'A wild Sheep Chase'.
For me this is a story about Shiva's Dance. The Dance of life and death. 'Dance Dance Dance'.
It covers the best places to buy lettuce, new friends, compassion, lust and love.
If you love Murakami then you will enjoy this.
"Gotta dig Degas"
I've read all of Murakami's books and the surreality is an acquired taste. I've applauded each one. That said, I'd likely rave for a rotten tomato if it was read by Rupert Degas. The man is a gift to listening ears. Exceptional.
"More of the wierd"
Murakami has one of the most unique writing styles around. Dance, Dance, Dance is interesting to say the least.
"Seinfeld Meets Dragnet"
I had so much fun listening that I hated for it end.
The quirky characters earned my love right away. And for the plot there are some but while I do listen intently even rewind some. I know that this summer I'll be enjoying this novel again.
Ending is not what I liked but just may be a sequel is coming. Surely hope so!!
Rupert Degas is Brilliant
"Perfect Voice"
I love this story and have read it many times, but feel like this version, having the perfect narration, which manages to even convey the cadence that I feel the author (and translator) spent so much time cultivating, is perfect.
"Great book. Very poorly read, however."
I thoroughly enjoy Murakami and will search out any of his books that are not read by Rupert Degas. I will definitely make sure NOT to download anything Rupert Degas reads EVER again. (Is that harsh? I suppose Mr. Degas' reading could improve. It would take many, many recommendations for me to give him another try, though.)
The reading performance was terrible. I have read this book before, some ten years ago, and I accept that different readers bring different focus and importance and flavor to a book... Rupert Degas' pronunciation was awful. I suppose I appreciate the fact that he pronounced the Japanese names in what I can only assume is a Japanese accent, however, plenty of the English words and names were NOT correctly annunciated. Sometimes Mr. Degas would forget which character he was reading and mix up the voices he was using - which is REALLY confusing, often making no sense at all. And the voices he chose to use were completely wrong, in my opinion.
I have read several Murakami books and enjoy his writing quite a bit. I hope someone records a rereading of this book as it surely deserves better. I hate to think this audiobook could be someone's introduction to Murakami's work.
"Curious, compelling and enjoyable"
"Dance Dance Dance" is, like most Murakami novels, an intriguing exploration of spiritualism and humanity, the passage of time and the meaning of our everyday lives. It is a thoroughly enjoyable novel and will make you want to encourage others to read it so you can share and compare views on the meaning of the story.
"Dance Dance Dance" is a sequel to "A Wild Sheep Chase", the first book should really be read/listened to first to get full enjoyment of this novel.
The young female character Yuki almost steals the novel with her wise and witty viewpoints.
"As time goes on, you'll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn't, doesn't. Time solves most things. And what time can't solve, you have to solve yourself."
"Let yourself be swept up into another world"
Having given up reading the Wind-up bird chronicle after something approaching 100 pages, I could not have described myself as a Murakami devotee before downloading this book. However, this book, and in particular, the style and quality of its narration had me spellbound from its opening moments. I found it completely compelling and will now download Murakami's other books on Audible.
"Mystical Masterpiece"
A great, other-worldy offering from an intriguing author. Like Murakami's other books, there is a sense of the spiritual and mystical in a contemporary world slightly off-centre; the familiar with the darkly mysterious.
This book is a loose sequel to 'A Wild Sheep Chase', telling the story of the protagonist four years on, when he returns to a greatly changed Dolphin Hotel and becomes involved with a host of interesting characters, some of which get murdered. I would obviously recommend you read AWSC first which is yet another strange, very enjoyable book!
The narrator has a clever, casual style which makes the listening a pleasure. He also narrated AWSC which adds to the continuity of the series.
"Not a Geisha in-sight?."
A modern Japanese writer with Japanese sensitivities and a real insight into the heart of contemporary Japan. We hear the leading character?s repeated mantra ?this is an advanced Capitalist society? and Murakami plays this jarring tune against an underscore of longing for belonging and reference to a deeper source of meaning and reality.
This is a novel that layers symbol over symbol and blurs dreams, phantasies and reality - albeit presented in the refracted light of consumerism. Despite this, the reader, though working hard to keep up through the labyrinth of Sapporo, Waikiki and the enigmatic Dolphin Hotel, never loses the sense of ?place? in the storyline.
There are overt references to Kafka in the story, and an underlying theme of Jay Gatsby, evident in the relationship of the main character to the famous film actor. Obvious comparisons with The Catcher in the Rye, but the only way to conclusively categorise Dance, Dance, Dance is brilliant, and cool! You must read this book.

'An Inconvenient Truth' Sequel May Be Coming
Posted on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2014 by Angie Han
An Inconvenient Truth made quite an impact when it hit in 2006, but it wasn't enough. The issue of climate change is still far from resolved. Worse, it's a problem that not everyone is even willing to admit exists — plenty of people still refuse to believe global warming is happening at all, experts be damned.
So the filmmakers behind the hit documentary are regrouping to talk about an Inconvenient Truth sequel. "God, do we need one," said producer Laurie David. More on their plans after the jump. Read More »
