The Struggle For Workers Rights In The 1970s South
In the 1970s, the small town of Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina was dominated by the J.P. Stevens textile mills, which controlled many aspects of its workers' lives.
A coalition made up of workers from different races, genders and religious backgrounds came together and won the right to a union. Host Frank Stasio talks about their historic unionization efforts with Joey Fink, a PhD. candidate in History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Xavier Cluff, described by the U.S. Attorney's office as one of the largest and most frequent customers of a man at the top of a heroin trafficking operation in southeastern Connecticut, was sentenced in U.S. District Court Tuesday to 70 months in prison followed by four years of supervised release.
Cluff, 41, of New London, has been detained at the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, R.I., since he was arrested in April 2013 along with about 100 others following a months-long investigation by multiple agencies into large-scale trafficking of heroin and cocaine between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico and southeastern Connecticut. In December 2013, Cluff pleaded guilty before Judge Janet Bond Arterton to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 100 grams or more of heroin.
Cluff was one of the largest and best customers of Luis Ariel Capellan Maldonado, who received heroin from sources in the Dominican Republic and distributed it to a variety of customers in southeastern Connecticut, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.
Cluff and his partner, Ramon Garcia, met with Maldonado frequently at his apartment at 98 Hawthorne Drive in New London or at other locations to obtain large quantities — usually 100 to 150 grams — of raw heroin, according to a sentencing memorandum prepared by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah P. Karwan.
Investigators using court-approved wiretaps and physical surveillance techniques learned that Cluff would call to arrange the deals and drop off the money and Garcia would pick up the heroin, according to the memorandum. Garcia has also pleaded guilty and is scheduled to be sentenced in May.
Capellan Maldonado typically sold the heroin at the wholesale level of $65 per gram, according to the memorandum, and it was worth more after it was broken up and packaged.
"This was a large and wide heroin conspiracy, especially in light of the small size of New London, and Mr. Cluff played a significant role in the operation," according to the memo.
Cluff, who has a criminal history dating back to 1993 that includes two convictions for risk of injury to a minor and two for assault, was upset with Capellan Maldonado in November 2013 because he suspected Capellan Maldonado was selling his product to Cluff's customers, according to the memorandum. Cluff warned Capellan Maldonado that he would "sucker punch" him.
In the defense's sentencing memorandum to the court, attorney Richard A. Reeve argued for a reduced sentence, saying Cluff and others pooled their money to obtain the heroin and that he sold it in smaller amounts than the government asserted in order to support his addiction to Percocet pain pills, which he used as a form of self-medication "to numb his pain and sadness" and to support his children and family.

Wife bought a new fridge/freezer. I was gifted the old one to put in the garage. She retained use of the freezer for her carnivorous tendencies. I was to be granted the capacious fridge top for lagering. Bought a temperature controller. As instructed, employed the help of a professional to wire it in safely. He tells me that there is only one compressor and it is not possible to independently control the fridge alone.I note that both fridge and freezer have their own on/off switches and therefore must be on separate circuits but able to call on the compressor individually when required by suitable secondary circuits. I am advised by the prof.that purchase of a separate fridge will be necessary. In my pre- retirement profession, it was often a wise precaution to seek a second opinion before proceeding. The presence of numerous pipes at the rear of the machine confirms that it is of the correct type. Can anyone with the relevant experience of such a combination please assist me in giving a definitive answer. Thank you.
You are wise to do so. granted it is more difficult, but nothing is impossible. There is only one compressor, because the freezer is the only one that uses/controls it. The fridge area only controls a flap and fan that draws cold air from the freezer side (at least in the 99.9999% of residential situations. What controller did you purchase, and what model fridge? Maybe myself or someone else on here can give you an idea how to get where you need to be with what you have.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''',,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,//'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '501irishred,
Thank you for your supportive response. My temperature controller is a Willhi WH7016G and the fridge /freezer is a Bosch KGU32123GB/01. I am already in possession of a 30amp relay which I had been advised was required for the control circuit
Try setting the freezer and fridge to their warmest settings and check temperature you can always adjust the control for the vent to fresh food area.
Well unfortunately I cant seem to come up with a schematic diagram for your fridge, so I cant give you the specifics. In general however there are several ways to utilize your controller - 1. gain access to the fan that feeds cold air to the fridge and wire it directly to the controller. 2. gain access to the current temp control for the fridge and wire around it using your controller. Your controller is rated for 5A @ 220V, so you really wont need the relay for just running this fan. If someday you gain access to the entire fridge/freezer you may still need when you buy a second controller to run the compressor as well and create a chamber for loggers as well as ales simultaneously.
It may all sound daunting, but just remember that your controller is nothing more than a light switch that happens to be able to turn itself on and off. If this is something you would like to pursue post some pictures of the original control for your fridge and the air passage from fridge side and freezer side. No promises, but may be able to give some direction.
With your advice and some from another section of the forum, it is clear that the quickest way to cut the Gordian knot is to install a separate fridge unit and this is what I'll do when funds permit. Thanks for everyone's help.
LOL, yea it's not just a turn key DIY project, but keep it in mind that it is possible to do if funds aren't presenting themselves as soon as you'd like. While looking around for your cooler, remember to be looking for a single space freezer. This way you'll be able to do what you want with only one controller.
Not to throw a wrench in the works, but what is the min ambient temp of the area you will eventually be keeping your fermentation chamber? The controller you have is a single stage, meaning you would not be able to heat the chamber using the same control. This would only be important if the ambient air gets significantly colder than the temps you plan on fermenting at. I keep mine in the garage where it gets well below freezing in the winter. Just food for thought....
Most of our winters are relatively mild, temperate maritime , around 5-8*c.
Only rarely do we descend to -5 or less if a low brings in cold wind from the Arctic. Thanks for all your advice.

Skaggs and Hornsby on bluegrass, Bill Monroe and the Grateful Dead
As Ricky Skaggs and Bruce Hornsby bring their collaborative bluegrass project to the Potawatomi Bingo Casino Northern Lights Theater tonight, you can read my interview feature on the duo here at Tap Milwaukee. Here is a few more topics from my conversation with Skaggs and email correspondence with Hornsby that didn't fit in that article, including both artists thoughts on incorporating a piano into the traditional string bluegrass stage, Skaggs' thoughts on carrying the bluegrass torch and his mentor Bill Monroe's legacy, and Hornsby's perspective on the differences in improvisational styles between bluegrass and the Grateful Dead, whom he spent many years with on the road. Read those thoughts below and then watch the duo's recent performance of "The Way It Is" on Conan.

Former Forest City Owl Vince Belnome makes major league debut with Tampa Bay
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Former Forest City Owl Vince Belnome made his major league debut as the starting designated hitter for the Tampa Bay Rays Thursday July 3 versus Detroit. He marks the sixth Coastal Plain League alum to debut during the 2014 season thus far, and the 70th overall.
Belnome played for the 2009 Owls, who finished 51-9 with both a CPL Championship, and a National Championship after earning PG Crosschecker's final number one ranking as the best summer collegiate team in the nation. That summer Belnome batted .256 with four doubles, one home run and nine RBIs in twelve games for the Owls. His summer league season was cut short after he was drafted and signed by the San Diego Padres in the 28th round of the MLB Amateur Draft in June.
The West Virginia product was traded from the Padres to the Rays in December of 2012. His best season as a Ray's minor leaguer came last year when he hit .300 with 35 doubles, eight home runs, and 67 RBIs for the Triple-A Durham Bulls.
Belnome was called up earlier in the season but never appeared in a game during his short stay until he was recalled on Thursday. 2014 has been a down year for the versatile infielder, but the Rays showed their confidence in him by still choosing him as a temporary replacement when veteran Yunel Escobar went down injured.
It was a tough night for both Belnome and the Rays as a whole with Detroit ace, and reigning American League Cy Young winner, Max Scherzer on the mound for the Tigers. Belnome finished 0-for-3 with two strikeouts while the Rays as a team managed only two hits all night, losing 8-1.
Belnome became the third player from Forest City to make their major league debut, with all three having played for the nationally recognized 2009 championship team.
About the Coastal Plain League:
The Coastal Plain League is the nation's hottest summer collegiate baseball league. Celebrating its 18th season in 2014, the CPL features 14 teams playing in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. The CPL gives college players the chance to refine their skills with the use of wooden bats. Players are housed with local host families for the summer and past experiences have been very positive for both players and hosts. Further more, the CPL has had over 1,200 alumni drafted and 70 alums – including 2011 AL MVP and Cy Young winner Justin Verlander – make their Major League debut thus far; while another notable alum – Russell Wilson – won Super Bowl XLVIII. For more information on the Coastal Plain League, please visit the league website at CoastalPlain.com, and be sure to friend us on Facebook (at www.facebook.com/coastalplainleague) and follow us via Twitter (as CPLBaseball).

Supreme Commander Patch 1.1.3280
This is a new Supreme Commander Patch
You direct one of three warring human factions, the Aeon Illuminate, the Cybran Nation or the United Earth Federation, as their Supreme Commander, the ultimate power on the battlefield.
The conflicts you fight are won or lost because of strategies devised and executed by you on the field of battle. It'll take every ounce of your strategic might to successfully unleash and direct a war machine comprised of hundreds of advanced, futuristic weapons across land, sea and in the air. Challenging you for galactic supremacy are some of the most cunning and intelligent enemies ever seen in an RTS game. Enemies that will fight to the death for every scrap of territory and show no mercy.
Aiding you in your war effort is a dynamic and revolutionary camera system that lets you instantly zoom in and out of location on the map and direct your forces the way you need to!.
Delivering one of the most advanced and innovative features of any RTS game, Supreme Commander establishes a breathtaking new standard with the sheer scope and scale of its gameplay. Colossal battles tear across maps of incomparable size as hundreds of units clash in epic battles of supremacy.
Scale: Witness tiny assault bots get crushed into oblivion by towering mega units, or watch as smaller attack bombers desperately try to bring down a gigantic experimental unit.
Scope: Concentrate on individual ground battles or zoom all the way out in a single, seamless motion that reveals the full theatre of war. Plan and unleash multiple strategic attacks from this tactical vantage point.
Plan, coordinate, and unleash strategic ground, naval and air attacks in a true display of combined-arms tactics.
Use your heavy bombers to weaken a key enemy position before sending in your ground assault forces to mop up any survivors. Shell enemy fortifications with your water-based destroyers, or use submarines to launch a surprise attack against enemy aircraft carriers.
In Supreme Commander, there are no limits to the strategic possibilities.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Very much the same as my review of the invitation cards: high-quality printing and paper (especially the "white shimmer" paper option), gorgeous and expensive-looking foil stamping, and a vintage-luxury feel overall. Will definitely impress your wedding invitees! The WPD staff were incredibly helpful in assisting with our font/word choice/layout selections, and we received our order 5 days early. So pleased with the finished product and would definitely recommend!!"
"I personalized the text on the card. Since we are having a buffet/hors d'oeuvres style reception instead of a typical sit down, I changed the choose your meal section to stating that the reception would entail a buffet style reception at (name of place). Came out absolutely perfectly! I am so happy with my purchase. Quality of the paper and printing is fantastic. I haven't mailed these cards out yet, but I think that those receiving it will love it as much as I do."
"These are ADORABLE in person!! I asked for a change when I reviewed them and it was immediately handled. They could not be more perfect for my wedding. Can't wait to start seeing these babies come back in!"
"Perfect match for the Tasteful Timeline invitation. I chose to remove the animal icons and meal choices, since our dinner was served family style. The design of the response card came out great!"
"Same as invitation, we choose a thicker paper and it came out beautiful. The easy customization made it very useful for us to ask our guests which events they were attending. We are doing a destination wedding and had events planned for a 3 day weekend, so it was a perfect way to calculate headcount for each event, (instead of asking food options like the sample has). We also added our own 'yes' or 'no' reply and made it fun. The "gracefully decline bla bla was just too boring. Overall we are very pleased."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Dependence on 'energy slaves' driving us to economic collapse
In the endless and merciless energy polemics, versatile Calgary-based journalist Andrew Nikiforuk blooded his sword with his 2008 book, Tar Sands. Now, with his latest book, his seventh since 1993, he charges once more into the breach.
As befits a battlefield on which no quarter is given, his title may smack of sensationalism, but the sobering facts, figures and authorities he references will be invaluable to anyone trying to understand the energy dilemmas we face.
Nikiforuk tells us that most ancient civilizations depended on the energy provided by slaves. Throughout history, slavery endured and was accepted by the Christian, Jewish and Islamic religions (among others) until fossil fuels could be harnessed as alternative energy sources.
So much was slavery taken for granted by British and American opinion that 18th-century calls for its abolition were then as shocking as calls for the abolition of cars and planes would be today.
Slavery's defenders used oddly familiar arguments. Abolishing slavery would cost jobs. Thousands of sailors and shipbuilders would be made redundant. It was hypocritical for anybody who used tea, tobacco, sugar or cotton to oppose slavery.
An 18th-century spin doctor proposed renaming slaves "assistant planters." A defender of white civilization came up with the pre-Orwellian slogan, "Freedom is not possible without slavery."
Inexorably, slavery yielded to the new energy systems. By the 1880s, coal-fired machines were doing work that once would have required three billion slaves. That was nothing compared to the impact of oil. In 2011, Canadian geoscientist David Hughes calculated that every North American now has 174 energy slaves.
In 2009, a British experiment attempted to use people-power to provide the energy needed in a typical family home. Throughout one day, an army of volunteers generated electricity by pedalling 100 stationary bicycles.
Just to make two slices of toast took 11 cyclists. The exhausted cyclists actually consumed more energy in food than they generated.
Nikiforuk makes a compelling case that the cost of our energy slaves is far higher than we imagine. We like to think of our cars as affordable and convenient.
But he cites the University of Manitoba energy historian Vaclav Smil to show otherwise.
Nikiforuk relates how Smil calculated the real convenience of car ownership by taking into account the actual time the average person spends on the purchase, maintenance, repairs, sitting in traffic jams, paying traffic tickets and the like.
By dividing the number of kilometres a year driven by the numbers of hours spent in car-related activity, Smil found that the reward for all that effort and expense amounted to about five kilometres an hour, somewhat slower than the average medieval peasant could walk.
Smil wishes we would value facts over delusions. He sees most North American consumption as wasteful and frivolous. For instance, it requires 800 pounds of fossil fuels to make one pound of microchips for products which are, to all intents and purposes, throwaways.
Almost every commercial product from toothbrushes to televisions comes imbedded with oil. Thanks to fertilizers, we are literally eating oil. Unfortunately, the supply of fossil fuels is finite.
"Rising energy and material consumption," Nikiforuk quotes Smil as saying, "is not a viable option on a planet that has a naturally limited capacity to absorb the environmental byproduct of this ratcheting process."
He believes that for the rest of the world to adopt the equivalent of North America's energy consumption would require five times the current global supply, "an utterly impossible option."
Unlike Smil, Nikiforuk thinks the world's cheap, light and easy oil will be exhausted as early as 2030. Unhappily, as he clearly explains, renewable sources will never be able to generate more than a fraction of the energy of conventional sources.
If our energy consumption continues unabated we can only expect scarcity, higher prices, food shortages, energy wars and the collapse of the world economy. Yet the barriers to change form "a wall as obstinate and thick as that which divided Berlin."
Nikiforuk refers to American economist Daniel Altman's belief that self-obsessed North Americans tend to do what they want regardless of the consequences for other people. This is reinforced by the billions of dollars spent by oil and coal interests to convince them that their security and happiness depend on an untrammeled fossil fuel industry.
Having said that, Nikiforuk refers us to the religion-based teachings of public intellectuals like Ivan Illich, Jacques Ellul and G.K. Chesterton. He makes an attractive case that security and happiness do not depend on wasteful consumerism but on lowering global energy consumption.
Solutions include restricting automobile use, taxing energy and carbon, improving public transport and using our energy slaves responsibly rather than wastefully.
How likely is that?
It's hard for Nikiforuk to reassure us that the glass is half full once he has convinced us that it is three quarters empty.
In case of emergency, Winnipegger John K. Collins always carries a stationary bicycle in his trunk.

3.0 out of 5 stars There's a really good book hiding within the padding
I'm pretty new to Le Carre. I read 'The Spy Who Came in from The Cold' and was blown away. It's dark, it's realistic - it's the dirty, unglamorous world of what you'd imagine spying must really be like.
I read 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' and though it was a bit slow at times, I loved it. Great story - makes you really work at it but it's really rewarding...

4.0 out of 5 stars A Masterful Story,
J. E. Parry "Jeff Parry" (Pontypool, Wales) - See all my reviews
This is the second of Le Carre's Smiley trilogy. Following the Secret Services uncovering of a Russian mole Smiley is put in charge to rebuild the battered and demoralised service.
We follow the exploits of Gerald Westerbury as he sets out to uncover the destination of $500,000 of funds transferred to a trust account in Hong Kong by the Russians. Jerry has to discover what this money is for.
There is cross and double cross by the main protaginists as there are several stories running in tandem. As Smiley plots he is under pressure from the Americans and the machinations of his own political masters. Does anyone know what is happening or who is planning what?
What is Drake Ho, the Chinese industrialist, up to? Who is Liese Worth? Did Ricardo, a drug running CIA pilot, die in Laos? What is the role of drake's dead brother in everything?
In typical Carre fashion the story is told in the third person, as though reminising after the fact. We are led through the events after they happened. We know that something major is waiting but not what exactly.
The hero of the piece is Westerbury. He is the old school spy, sent in as a journalist and left to run with little support. We see the efforts of a demoralised agency trying to rebuild and inject a new pride.
Another great story from the master of Cold War spying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for a Cold, Grey Day,
I am working my way through the new BBC John LeCarre series and loving every minute of them. The production is crisp and clear, the acting exemplary and the adaptations convey all the drama and tension you want from a cold war thriller.
At three hours long this is perfect for a long car journey or, as I did, a long afternoon sitting in the chair as the cold grey skies rolled past outside the window. As they say, radio has the best pictures and these are better than most movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely magnificent.,
This review is from: The Honourable Schoolboy (Coronet Books) (Paperback)
This book, the second in the so-called "Smiley versus Karla" trilogy, is bar none, Le Carre's best novel. It is about a complicated ploy by George Smiley, now re-instated in the circus and it's new head, to gain revenge on Karla and Moscow Centre over it's decades long humiliation by the hands of a British spy. The novel is primarily based in the far east, mainly in Hong Kong and reaching out to war-torn Cambodia. The man on the scene, set to land the coup, is Jerry Westerby, a sometime news Reporter, a some time spy for the circus. Unfortunately for him, the cards are stacked against him from the outset. I would read Tinker Tailor before reading this novel, so as to have much of the background knowledge needed. But in my mind this is LeCarre's finest work. Pity the excellent Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Smiley's People didn't have this gem filmed along with them as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb.,
Bill Kelly "willireid" (Liverpool, UK) - See all my reviews
I have read this novel several times over the years and it never pales. It is ahrd to ad anything to most of the reviews here, but i do agree with J Byrne that the book carries echoes of Conrad, particulalry "Heart of Darkness"-certainly Jerry's journey to see Ricardo through splendidly described war torn scenes of Laos and Cambodia reminds one of Marlow's quest for Kurtz.
The darkness side is also perhaps more evident here than in the earlier Smiley novels, particulalry in the character of Fawn the psychotic bodyguard for George, and the callous reflections on the deaths of "dispensable" characters. It is left to Westerby, rather than George to carry the flag for some approach at morality in what the Circus does.
Highly recommended if you like thoughtful espionage, history or just good, literate novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars a most likable hero,
By A Customer
This remains my favorite le Carre novel.It has everything you expect from him, being beautifully written,well paced and with a great feeling for the locations and people.But with this book le Carre has created a most likable hero in Jerry Westerby.Tough,romantic but essentially niave he is a perfect foil to the the fantastically corrupt asia of the last days of the Vietnam war. .The novel builds beautifully having introduced and combined plots,sub plots and a great cast of weird and wonderful bit players rouges, cynics and soldiers as Jerry faithfully follows the orders of his mentor George and plans to betray him.Great stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well Cast and Well Produced,
Mr. Gtj Charmley "gerardtjcharmley" (Cardiff, Wales) - See all my reviews
This is a BBC dramatisation of the second book in the trilogy begun with Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. It is useful to at least know what happened in that book before listening to this. Following the events of that book, George Smiley, the technocratic spymaster has become head of the Circus, Le Carre's fictional espionage organisation. He must deal with a legacy of betrayal, and a part of that is finding out where Karla, the enemy spy chief, is vulnerable. The discovery of a case which the traitor had placed in cold storage leads Smiley to send a long inactive agent, former journalist the Honourable Jerry Westerby, son of a fallen Press Baron, to travel to Hong Kong in order to trace the plot.
Westerby, played as a bored colonial type by Hugh Bonneville, is a romantic as well as a spy, his world-weariness hiding a search for the one girl. As he seeks to find out exactly what suspected Soviet agent Drake Ko (David Yip) is up to, he meets Liese Worth (Daisy Haggard), a similarly jaded personality. Fascinated by her, he comes to believe that she is the one. The question facing Smiley is whether Westerby can be trusted to deliver the goods, or whether he will throw over the service for true love.
Action is split between the Far East, mostly Hong Kong, which is portrayed as a sleazy world of intriugue and broken dreams, and the London offices of the Circus, where Smiley matches wits with the unseen Karla in a well-acted tale of suspense. Worth getting, but probably only if you are familiar with the events of 'Tinker, Tailer, Soldier, Spy'.

3.0 out of 5 stars There's a really good book hiding within the padding,
Steven Forster - See all my reviews
I'm pretty new to Le Carre. I read 'The Spy Who Came in from The Cold' and was blown away. It's dark, it's realistic - it's the dirty, unglamorous world of what you'd imagine spying must really be like.
I read 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' and though it was a bit slow at times, I loved it. Great story - makes you really work at it but it's really rewarding too.
When I realised 'Tinker Tailor' was part of a trilogy, I thought I must read the rest.
'The Honorable Schoolboy' is the second in the trilogy and you must read 'Tinker Tailor' first. It's a good story, a good development of 'Tinker Tailor' showing how Smiley tries to rebuild a shattered service with little support or thanks from the political masters.
However.... it's 686 pages long. You're 80 pages in before the intrigue first starts to get opened up. You're 150 pages in before there's anything very exciting. It's split into two halves, the second of which is paced much better but he really drags his heals. I would love to edit this book - at 450 pages, it could be a very worthy sequel to 'Tinker Tailor'. As it stands, it takes an effort of will - or good skimming skills - to stay with it.
I bought the final one - 'Smiley's People' - and note it's only 450 pages long. Perhaps he had more confidence in himself by this stage to just get down to the meat and potatoes and cut the waffle. Fingers crossed.

5.0 out of 5 stars High Quality Adaptation,
Mrs. K. A. Wheatley "katywheatley" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews
This is one of a continuing sequence of Le Carre's Smiley novels set in the world of post World War II espionage as the cold war rages. The books have received a new lease of life through these exquisite Radio Four dramatisations, although they are also excellent in their own right. My husband and I have been listening from the beginning and it is fantastic that the audio cds come out so soon after the radio broadcast so we can listen again and again. Simon Russell Beale is superb as Smiley and his wonderful acting skills come across as well on radio as they do on stage and screen. This volume has an excellent supporting cast including the fantastic Hugh Bonneville, and they are a delight to listen to. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Honourable Schoolboy - A beautifully woven story of a dishonourable trade,
Victor (Hull, England) - See all my reviews
This is the sixth of a series of BBC adaptations of all John Le Carre's Smiley books, starring Simon Russell Beale as Smiley. Unlike some other reviewers I've never read the book, so cannot comment on textual accuracy.
Following the events of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and the unveiling of the high level mole, the secret Government agency known as the Circus is in disarray. George Smiley, responsible for finding the mole is brought in, along with a select band of trusted others, to go through the old Circus records find out where the mole was burrowing and so find the gaps and weaknesses in Moscow Centre's own intelligence, and uncover what Moscow want kept secret.
Along the way they discover the mole had gone to a great deal of trouble to hide some financial transactions in the far east, and retired journalist, Jerry Westerby, is despatched to find out more. The trail leads to another high profile mole being run by Moscow, and conflict with the American secret services.
This is yet another tense and gripping thriller from the pen of Le Carre, brought to wonderful life by the BBC. Beale is pitch perfect as the disillusioned Smiley. Hugh Bonneville is excellent as the chivalrous Westerby, the Honourable Schoolboy of the title (and one of Le Carre's best creations) The audio production is really excellent, nicely evoking the seedy world of the far East in which Westerby finds himself. The plot twists and turns, and as usual there is a deep feeling of paranoia. But it's not the Russians Smiley has to worry about, but his own superiors, and their cosy relationship with the Americans.
Gripping, tense, twisting, well acted and produced, all leading to an exhausting final showdown. This is a great release, and I cannot wait for the follow up, Smiley's People, when it is released.

Amazon Customer "Boo62" (Ilkeston Derbyshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
LeCarre is at his best here with plot twists, subterfuge and betrayal abounding amidst a tense atmosphere amongst the key players in the spying game. George Smiley has finally had enough of his wife's infidelity and is trying to concentrate on capturing his elusive Soviet counterpart, Karla, using an old compatriot turned newspaperman.
Simon Russell Beale is up against it as Smiley. Alec Guinness set LeCarres stories alight as the quiet and quintessentially English spy with a ruthless streak . Nevertheless Beale hits the mark nicely with a subtle and unassuming performance that belies just how relentless and determined Smiley really is. The support actors all give great value with Hugh Bonneville in particular bringing the laconic Jerry Westerby to life.The BBC's usual high standards of production are all in full swing and a great sense of building tension and claustrophobia makes for a great atmospheric feeling that places the listener nicely in the story.
Despite the necessary editing to the original story this maintains a good sense of depth. It would be difficult to keep enough pace and interest across more than the 3 hours running time given to the plot. As usual this requires careful listening as the plot twists and turns with as much meaning to what is not being said as to what is. The sense of a dying profession being desperately held together by a handful of tired and disillusioned people can be quite heavy and this is certainly not light listening.
A very good production that rewards repeated listening and represents excellent value for money.

Rince Me On
Moar Boobs.
With the other things people ask for such as new maps, new champs(like we any more), and champion balance. The last thing on my mind is how much of a champions *** I can see on the loading screen. I say loading screen because in game if you're scrolling in enough to even see boobs I hate to break it to you but you're playing LoL wrong.
More boobage plox!
Who the fk cares? If a game was awesome and the characters were squares I would still play.
Out of all the things to urge Riot to fix you ask for less boobs?
Enigma Dragan
The ONLY Two females that I feel they're original are Anivia and Annie, those two kickasses... and they're boobless! (except Annie, when she grows up, that is XD)
Everyone loves boobs, that's not a lie, it sells, thinking like Riot, whatever sells is pretty much their priority, I won't blame them for that, but Original Characters, hmmm,
There's Leona, she's fully armored and clothed, sure she has breast shaped chestarmor but that's not revealing, and her Classic skin is Muuuuch prettier than her other skins, it's so colorful, so well made armor, so... different.. than other girls...
I guess it's the idea of her being tank AND no boob revealing... just Two suns that you should not look at them for too long haha XD
A Prop Phone
It makes sense considering the overhead view lol has. Even a small bust going be exaggerated when the only camera view is looking down thier shirts.

TtS GreatBlckJew
lol. To me complaining about female boobs is like complaining about them rock hard abs that like Kassadin has and what not. The males in this game are just as ridiculous as the female but no one seems to want to complain about that. Stop being a bunch of unintentional sexists and let riot make guys with weird proportions that come from many many many many hours of working out then multiplying those strong warm loving and protective arms by 2, and let riot make females where you get a ***** because you were looking down their shirt and died and when most of the female characters die it sounds like they are having a really weird orgasm.

Heading over to canada for the weekend and was planning on stopping at the Beer Store to bring some back. Any suggestions on good brands that I should go after?
I found Duty Free shops to not carry that good of a selection...Although I could be wrong, its been awhile since I've been.
They have their own Great Lakes brewery which makes a good 666 ale. I think they also have some mediocre breweries (Alexander Keith's, Steamwhistle, etc.). Dieu Du Ciel and Unibroue are good, but you can get those in the US.
Whatever the quality of Canadian beer, The Beer Store makes it hard on you.
The Beer Store is very limited in Canada because it's a monopoly owned by the big 3 breweries. What part of Canada are you coming over to? If you're coming into Ontario then look for an LCBO. They'll have a better selection of craft beers, especially around the Toronto area.
Coming into Ontario via Thousand Islands. Visitng family camp for weekend. is there an LCBO near there?
Theres one in Lansdowne if that's where you're coming in to. I've never been up that way so I can't say how large it is though.
Ontario has been coming out with some really great craft brews. If you have the opportunity look for an LCBO, there selections CAN be really good (can is the operative word, LCBO's around larger cities have a better selection for the most part). Breweries to look for:
Flying Monkey - Cascadian Dark Ale, Hoptical Illusion, Confederation Ale.
Mill St. - Coffee Porter, Tankhouse Ale, Lemon Tea Beer, Organic Lager
St. Ambroise - Oatmeal Stout
Skeena Brewing - Wolfgang's German Style Lager
Trafalgar Ales and Meads - Irish Red, Special Bitter
Great Lakes Brewery - Crazy Canuck, Devils Pale Ale 666, Green Tea Ale, Winter Ale,
Grand River Brewing - Galt Knife Old Style, Russian Gun
LCBO.com has a search function and you can look for brands by store location if you know the surrounding towns. ontariocraftbrewers.com also has a good beer search on their website. Hope I could help, Cheers!
Thanks for all the replies!!! This really helps a lot!! Its always exciting to get new beers to drink...
