IRobot Reports Second-Quarter 2012 Financial Results
iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT), a leader in delivering robotic technology-based solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.
- Revenue for the second quarter of 2012 was $111.4 million, compared with $108.1 million for the same quarter one year ago. Revenue for the first half of 2012 was $209.3 million, compared with $214.4 million last year.
- Net income in the second quarter of 2012 was $7.4 million, compared with $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2011. For the first half, net income was $8.0 million, compared with $15.5 million a year ago.
- Quarterly earnings per share were $0.26, compared with $0.29 in the second quarter last year. First-half earnings per share were $0.28, compared with $0.56 in 2011.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2012 was $16.2 million, compared with $16.3 million in the second quarter of 2011. For the first half, Adjusted EBITDA was $22.3 million, compared with $31.5 million a year ago.
"Our second-quarter performance was very good given the challenging environment. Strong growth in both our international and U.S. markets drove a 50% year-over-year increase in Home Robot revenue. Our steadily increasing Home Robot global reach is enabling us to substantially offset the continuing impact of U.S. government funding on our Defense & Security business and to remain on track to meet our revenue and increase our profit expectations for fiscal year 2012," said Colin Angle, chairman and chief executive officer of iRobot.
Business Highlights
- Home Robot domestic revenues grew 40% year-over-year. The positive impact of our Q2 advertising campaign to reach our target customer, the modern professional, is evident in the second-quarter 2012 results. International revenues grew more than 55% in Q2 over last year. Total EMEA revenue grew 42% in the second quarter over last year and Western Europe, which comprised approximately 30% of Home Robot revenue, grew 40%. As a result, we have increased our full-year expectations for this business unit.
- Our Home Robot product return experience has improved as the result of our sustained investment in product quality. In the second quarter we adjusted our accrual rates for Home Robot product returns, resulting in a benefit to revenue and earnings. Revenue, EPS and Adjusted EBITDA for the company would have been $108.2 million, $0.18, and $12.8 million respectively, without the $3.3 million or $0.08 per share positive adjustment.
- We were awarded three new contracts totaling approximately $27 million for SUGV and PackBot robots, spares and software upgrades. U.S. government funding and program delays, however, continue to negatively impact our Defense & Security business unit. We have reflected that impact in our lower full-year expectations for this business unit.
- We announced, with InTouch Health, the unveiling of the RP-VITA™ telemedicine robot. The robot combines InTouch Health's state-of-the-art telemedicine solutions with iRobot's autonomous navigation capabilities, mobility, interactive communication and situational awareness from the Ava program.

Google hires Patrick Collister as head of design
By James Swift, campaignlive.co.uk, Tuesday, 02 April 2013 09:55AM
Google has appointed former Ogilvy & Mather vice-chairman and executive creative director Patrick Collister as its head of design.
Collister will join Google in this month and is understood to be replacing Irene Au, who handed in her notice in June 2012.
In his new role, Collister will lead Google's creative team with the aim of helping ad agencies make the best use of Google products, such as YouTube.
He said: "Loosely, we want to encourage major brands to spend more money online."
Ahead of joining Google, Collister is winding up his business, Creative Matters, which offers a mixture of consultancy and training services.
Collister originally set up the business in 2000 after leaving Ogilvy & Mather, where he was executive creative director and vice-chairman.
He served as a creative director at EHS Brann (now Havas EHS), but left in 2003 after two years. In 2004, he was named as a non-executive director at Profero but he has since departed from that role.
Speaking about his appointment, Collister said: "I have been a creative director for 25 years now and the fact that an organisation like Google is looking to a grey-hair like me is very interesting because I think it shows that good old-fashioned understanding of brands, ideas and – dare I say it – people is important.
"Within some digital agencies, people tend to think platforms are a substitute for ideas, but you need both. Technology drives creativity, but it doesn't lead it."
A spokeswoman for Google declined to comment.

The pinch or filament is a current of high energy protons that creates the spallation and maintains the temperature that produces the high energy x-ray spectrum and depletes other isotopes D, Li, Be, and B as observed. Finally the high temperature plasma is a uniquely efficient spallation target that is powered by the interaction of stellar convection and self generated magnetic field.

The Influence Of 'Once Upon A Time In America' & More From Lone Scherfig & Jim Sturgess About The FilmThere's the average romantic comedy with the meet cute or initial hatred between the inevitable lovers, and then there's "One Day."

The audience gets a glimpse of where they are--and where they are in relation to each other--each year on that day, creating 23 mini-films in one.

Movie Info
The Malta Story stars Alec Guinness as WW II camera reconnaissance pilot Peter Ross. Crash-landing in Malta, Ross presents his photographs to the resident air officer (Jack Hawkins). The photos reveal that the Italians are planning a major invasion of the island. Low on fuel and men, the officer is all but helpless as the Italians mount their attack. Only the last-minute arrival reinforcements and supplies prevent Malta from falling into the hands of the enemies--but the story doesn't end there. Filmed on location, The Malta Story boasts some exceptional aerial photography, not to mention excellent performances from Guiness, Hawkins, Anthony Steele, Muriel Pavlow, Flora Robson and the rest of the stellar cast. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi … More

Migration takes many forms: refugees and asylum seekers; irregular migrants; diaspora; internally and environmentally displaced persons; high, low and medium-skilled labour migrants; and victims of human trafficking. It is essential to address the specific needs and issues relevant to each group.
The challenge we face is to maximise the positive effects of migration. It is our responsibility to ensure that migrants and the communities in sending, transit and receiving countries reap the benefits as we work to limit the disruptive effects that are often associated with migration.

Philadelphia Wings (5-11) visit Vancouver Stealth (4-11) at Langley Events Centre on Saturday at 10pm ET. (Photo: Todd Bauders)
The Vancouver Stealth (4-11) welcome the Philadelphia Wings (5-11) to Langley Events Centre on Saturday at 10 p.m. ET for a must-win game in order for the Stealth to stay alive in the playoff race. Watch the matchup live exclusively on UniversalSports.com, which is available to U.S. subscribers of Universal Sports Network and for non-subscribers in Canada only.
The combination of a Stealth loss in any of their final three games or one Colorado win, eliminates Vancouver from playoff contention.
The Wings were eliminated from playoff contention after a loss to Toronto last weekend, but they have an opportunity to play spoiler against the Stealth this weekend and against Colorado the following weekend.
It's a difficult spot for Vancouver to be in, but as Stealth head coach Chris Hall explains, they have to worry about what they can control.
"Focus on Philadelphia," said Hall. "We can't do anything more than just try to win one game."
Even though the Stealth's chances of making this year's post season are on thin ice, the players know there's still lots to play for.
"We're fortunate that we still have a shot," said Stealth defenseman Matt Beers. "We still need a little bit of help from Colorado but at the same time we're focused on our goal and that's to win lacrosse games. The fans deserve it here in Langley and we need to put on a good show come Saturday."
The Stealth will be hoping history is on their side when they face the Wings this weekend, since the home team is 11-4 all-time.
The Wings may not have much to play for this weekend but that could make them even more dangerous come game time.
"We're preparing one game at a time and that's all we can do," said Beers.
The Stealth had a rough go against the Wings earlier in the season, losing 15-9 back on February 1. The Wings got off to hot start and never looked back, scoring 10 goals in the opening half. Jordan Hall led the way for the Wings adding eight points (1 goal, 7 assists) to lead all players while Rhys Duch tallied two goals and three assists for the Stealth in a losing cause.
The night also marks Lacrosse Feeds Hunger night at the LEC. The first 1,000 fans to bring a non-perishable food item will receive a Stealth Re-usable bag. Doors open at 8:30 p.m. ET.
After being eliminated from playoff contention with their close loss to the Toronto Rock last weekend, the Philadelphia Wings have a new goal mind: to finish their season on a positive note.
"I think we were disappointed about not making the playoffs," Wings assistant coach Jim Milligan said. "We want to finish the season as strong as we can."
Unfortunately, these last two regular season games for the Wings will come at the price of feeling the frustration of their performance this year with, forward Kyle Buchanan describing their shortcoming as an "empty feeling."
"It's a frustrating way to end it," he said. "To have two games left—we have to put that past us and move forward. We're going to prepare like we need to."
However, despite the disappointment of losing several close games, this season welcomed the impressive gameplay of young forwards Garrett Thul and Pat Saunders.
"They had a good season, Pat played really excellent and Garrett was a pleasant surprise," Milligan said. "When we brought him (Thul) in, we weren't really sure what we were going to get out of him. They really stepped up to the plate and they're really showing off what they can do. I think they proved that they can play in this league and I hope they do it for the last two games."
Although the season for Philly may be coming to an end a bit too early, they have still found something to play for as they look to begin preparation for next season—starting with the showcasing of their talent in hopes of earning a spot on the roster once again.
"Really at the end of the day, you've got to look at what we have left," Milligan said. "We have two games left and everybody on our roster should be looking at those two games and saying 'I have to show what I want to do because I want to come back next year.' So guys that underachieved will hopefully pick it up and guys that are playing well will hopefully keep playing well— and that will make us a better team for the last two games."

"Granite industry has badly damaged natural resources in the Madurai region"
Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam general secretary Vaiko has demanded that the Centre should immediately pack off the two Sri Lankan officials undergoing training at the Defence Services Staff College, Wellington, Udhagamandalam.
Criticising the Union Minister of State for Home Pallam Raju for his comments that the Central government would go ahead with providing training to the Sri Lankan defence personnel, he said that it showed disrespect to the people of Tamil Nadu.
"It is a warning to send the two Sri Lankans back to their home from our motherland without any more delay. There is no space for such people who are responsible for the killing of millions of Tamils in the island nation," he said.
Any delay on the part of the Union government in this issue would cause heartburn against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
"The comment of Mr. Pallam Raju itself looks like that of the Prime Minister," he said and appealed to the PM to be fair.
Granite scam
On the granite scam, being unravelled by the Madurai district administration and police officers, Mr. Vaiko said that the granite industry had badly damaged the natural resources in this region.
Many farmers lived in misery due to rampant destruction by granite operators, especially near Tiruvadavur and Narasingam.
The government should deal with it with an iron hand. He appreciated former Madurai Collector U. Sagayam for his commendable show in exposing the wrong doings in the industry.
"I don't see an immediate need for a CBI probe into the issue," he replied to another query.
Mr. Vaiko wanted justice from the government with respect to the Sri Lankan refugees living in Tamil Nadu. The condition of Senduran, a Sri Lankan Tamil who is on a fast, is becoming critical.
"Before things slip from bad to worse, the government should look into the grievances as many inmates of refugee camps in Chengalpattu and Poonamallee are experiencing mental trauma. The police are foisting cases against innocent people," he alleged.

Rotterdam man admits to killing girlfriend, mother
ROTTERDAM -- He will serve at least 35 years in prison for raping and killing his estranged girlfriend and her mother.
In Schenectady County Court on Tuesday, 29-year-old Brice Rivenburgh of Rotterdam accepted a deal and pleaded guilty to two counts of second degree murder for the double slaying of Jessica and Tammy McCormack back on April 10, 2013.
Investigators say Rivenburgh broke into the McCormack's home on Inner Circle Drive and raped and killed his estranged ex-girlfriend, Jessica. He also killed her mother, Tammy.
After killing both women, Rivenburgh attempted to cover his tracks by breaking into the home and stealing items, tampering with evidence and setting the house on fire to destroy evidence. He also sent text messages to Jessica's phone after the murders in an attempt to throw investigators off his trail.
Rivenburgh was originally facing 26 charges including rape, murder, burglary and arson but those were dropped as part of his plea deal. He will serve a minimum of 35 years and faces up to 45 years to life as part of the agreement. He will be sentenced on October 22nd.

BANGOR, Maine (AP) — A Florida woman accused of throwing things and shouting obscenities over a delayed flight faces charges in Bangor, Maine.
Police say Janet Dinardi of Nokomis, Fla., ignored an officer's warning Sunday to settle down before Allegiant Air informed officers that the unruly passenger would not be allowed on her flight to Florida.
Officers escorted her from Bangor International Airport and charged her with criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.
The 54-year-old Dinardi posted bail and is due to be arraigned in February. It's unclear if she retained a lawyer, and she didn't answer Monday at her home in Florida.

U.S. FERC's Moeller Sees Need For Full Rulemaking On Gas/Electric Coordination
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A formal rulemaking by the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) may be needed to resolve inconsistent scheduling between the electricity and natural gas markets, FERC member Philip Moeller said Tuesday at a Platts Energy Podium newsmaker event in Washington.
Among the options available to the commission to address the increasing tension between gas suppliers and power generators: a full rulemaking. Such would be a significant procedural step, but Moeller said it could be necessary to help harmonize the two sectors during an era of growing gas-fired generation.
The issue of working out the different schedules for the two markets "needs the full attention of the commission" to ensure momentum for a solution, he said. Such a FERC rulemaking effort could take between two and three years, said Moeller, a Republican on the five-member commission.
In the meantime and in advance of the next heating season, FERC must facilitate full communication between pipelines and generators, he suggested.However the commission proceeds on promoting better coordination, it must recognize that energy companies have tried unsuccessfully to resolve the issue before. Utilities, pipeline companies and others devoted major resources to the issue in the "last round of these discussions seven, eight, nine years ago," Moeller said. "They're never getting those years back in their lives," he said. "If we go down this path, we need FERC invested in this process so that it's not a waste of time." Moeller also framed some of the issues in the gas/electric markets coordination debate. "The earlier you have a trading day begin, the less you know about the following day," he said. "And it's difficult to take more gas if you don't know if you're going to be dispatched on the electric side."

Counterpoint: Engagement On Twitter Isn't Everything. But Advocacy Is.
It's easy to forget that Twitter isn't a one-size-fits-all communications channel. What works for one brand isn't necessarily the right strategy for another. That observation may seem obvious but tends to get lost amidst the various case studies of success that frequently capture marketers' attention.
Every brand is distinctive. Its digital and social media marketing strategy needs to be customized in a way that matches its unique marketing needs and customer peculiarities.

Governor Patrick meets with President of the Republic of Cape Verde Jorge Carlos Fonseca in the Governor's Office. (Photo Credit: Eric Haynes / Governor's Office) View additional photos.
BOSTON – Friday, September 28, 2012 – Governor Deval Patrick today welcomed President of the Republic of Cape Verde Jorge Carlos Fonseca to the Massachusetts State House. President Fonseca's visit to Massachusetts is to help raise civic engagement awareness within the Cape Verdean community. President Fonseca was elected in August 2011.
"I am delighted to welcome President Fonseca and his delegation to the State House," said Governor Patrick. "I look forward to working together with President Fonseca to advance our partnership with Cape Verde in innovation and education."
Governor Patrick welcomed President Fonseca on the front steps then escorted the President through the front doors of the State House, a tradition usually reserved for visiting heads of state. The Governor then held an official meeting with President Fonseca and his delegation in the Governor's Office. Following the meeting, Governor Patrick presented President Fonseca with an engraved bust of President John F. Kennedy. President Fonseca presented Governor Patrick with a silver tray inscribed with the Cape Verde National Emblem.
Friday's visit to Massachusetts is one of three stops on President Fonseca's United States itinerary, which also included stops in Providence, Rhode Island and Newark, New Jersey.
The visit is part of a growing economic relationship between Massachusetts and Cape Verde. In 2011, Massachusetts exported approximately $1.2 million in goods and services to Cape Verde, with more than approximately $570,800 in goods and services importedfrom Cape Verde.
Massachusetts is currently home to approximately 45,000 Cape Verdeans, the largest population of Cape Verdeans in the nation. The Cape Verdean Consulate in Boston is the only other diplomatic office in the United States outside of the Embassy in Washington.
Governor Patrick has focused on advancing Massachusetts' relationships globally, recently taking delegations of business, academic and government leaders to Brazil, Chile, Israel and the United Kingdom. The meeting with President Fonseca allowed both leaders to promote further collaboration between Cape Verde and Massachusetts innovation sectors and higher education institutions.

FPGA Design with SystemVerilog
On-demand Web Seminar
As FPGA designs have grown in size, so has the difficulty in managing code complexity. Modeling large designs in traditional HDL is still possible, though the amount of code becomes hard to re-use and verify.
SystemVerilog serves as a natural extension of Verilog, and its design constructs offer benefits of compactness of code, coding at higher levels of abstraction, and unification of design and verification. Learn how SystemVerilog helps FPGA designers code at higher levels of abstraction and for better verification.

When my grandfather passed away in February of 1990, it was the first major loss in my life. I fumbled through the grieving process, desperately trying to be strong for my grandmother whose home I moved into on the day grandpa died. I had been instructed by well-meaning relatives that I should not cry in front of her, but it was so very difficult to remain stoic while she grieved.
I dealt with my grief like I do most things in life; through writing. As Christmas drew near, and I realized how utterly painful it would be to celebrate without grandpa, I wrote the following and shared it with the family on Christmas day.
Twelve years later, on Dec. 5, my grandmother died. I was asked to read the Christmas letter at her funeral, but I couldn't do it. By this time, I had experienced a number of losses, including my precious mother. Speaking at my grandmother's funeral would have required a deeper reserve of strength than I had within me on that day. And so, I passed it off to someone else. I don't remember who read it, but when I heard the words I realized they were not mine anyway. Years prior, I had written it to comfort my grandmother, and in doing so, I had tapped into words and phrases she would have expressed if she could write her own "Christmas Letter from Heaven."
Perhaps the letter will bring some measure of comfort to others who are grieving through a loss this holiday season. May God be with you during this difficult time.
Dear Loved Ones,
It has been several months since we said our farewells. I have thought of you often and the Lord has kept me updated on how you are doing. It is nearly Christmas and I know you are thinking of me. I remember how it felt to lose someone I loved when I was on earth. But, mother and daddy, and all those who went on before me are here now and we have had blessed reunions!
I am writing to tell you of the wonderful things taking place here in preparation for Jesus' birthday. Yes, we celebrate Christmas here, too. If Jesus had not been born on earth, none of us would be here in Heaven. Therefore we have great reason to celebrate!
The golden streets are lined with white, spiring trees bejeweled with the purest diamonds, emeralds and rubies. And the mansions are vibrant with heavenly lights.
I peeked into the Grand Auditorium a few minutes ago. The pipe organ sounds like the pealing of hundreds of church bells on Sunday morning. The entire sanctuary is decorated for the occasion. There are no pews like in earthly churches. We don't need them because when we enter it is natural to fall on our knees and sing praises to Jesus.
The angelic choir was practicing the most beautiful Christmas hymns. The choir loft holds ten thousand or so angels all dressed in robes of white and gold. When I hear them join together, their angelic voices in perfect harmony, I realize what it means to me that Jesus did not call those ten thousand angels to carry Him from the cross.
I love seeing the preparations that are going into this celebration. I thrill at the thought of spending Jesus' birthday with Him!
I caught a glimpse of His birthday list. As always, He is giving to everyone else. You should see the blessings He has in store for you this coming year. If only you could see how much He loves you, you would spend Christmas day on your knees praising Him too.
Well, dear family, I must close. I hope you will no longer grieve for me as you can see how happy I am. Please, do not be despondent. It will not be many years before we are reunited and celebrating Christmas together in the presence of the Lord.
I love you each dearly. Keep your hearts right and your eyes on Jesus, for believe me, great will be your reward!

SAN FRANCISCO -- Crude oil and gasoline supplies unexpectedly fell for the week ended February 8, according to data from the American Petroleum Institute (API). Crude supplies declined by 2.3 MMbbl.
Analysts polled by Platts were looking for a 2.5 MMbbl climb. Gasoline inventories were down 810,000 bbls, while distillate stockpiles fell 1.1 MMbbl, the trade group said. Analysts forecast gasoline stocks to be unchanged and expected a fall of 1.6 MMbbl in distillate supplies. The API data come ahead of the more closely watched United States Energy Information Administration (EIA) report due Wednesday. Ahead of the API report, March crude (CLH3) settled at $97.51 a barrel, up 0.5%.

Millions of websites took a serious hit earlier this year, they went from prominent placements online to nearly no sort of placement at all. The traffic that many large sites had, fell by huge standards, and now they are struggling to recover. Many marketers blame the algorithms that shift from all major search engines, including Google. Even though many claimed to be using white hat seo techniques, they still got hit hard. If you were hit hard, you may be among the many that are scared about the future. If you're scared about any new shifts in the way search results are served, then you're missing the point. There are some serious reasons why you should not fear the Google proverbial reaper. It starts with understanding what you may not have beforehand, and it will help moving forward, if you pay attention to what you're doing on your pages.
Changes Only Impact The Guilty
There are very few sites that got punished for doing the right thing. In fact, nearly all sites that were reprimanded by search engines, penalized for content, or violations of any type is squarely on the shoulders of the fact that they were using shortcuts. If you didn't use shortcuts, then you have nothing to fear. If you did use shortcuts, then it's time to evaluate what you did and start to refurbish your pages. If you don't know how to do this, call in an expert and tell them what has occurred. They could fix everything for you, and completely change your media future for good. Changes are important to the overall look and feel of your page and will definitely pose positive solutions moving forward.
Backlinks Aren't All Bad (Some Are Good)
If you're getting backlinks, or you see that you're getting nods from blogs, websites and more, rejoice. If you bought a lot of backlinks in the past, and are seeing your ranking drop, don't fear the algorithms instead, utilize the tools that you are able to use and disavow links. Google, for instance, now allows you to disavow all major links that you have pointed at your website. This will give you a good sense of peace when you finally focus on the right kind of link building. After disavowing the links, don't build more, just let them happen naturally and focus on other areas of marketing. This will show search engines that you're not taking shortcuts any longer.
Publishing Content Daily? Then Don't Worry
Here's the secret to seo and search engines overall, and that's frequency. The more frequent you're posting content, then the less likely you are to get targeted for penalties. As long as the content is 100% unique and offers the end user something positive, you will get indexed faster and will find yourself in great spaces on the web. Don't just chase this without understanding the fact that frequency matters alongside the unique quota. If you're posting anything duplicate, or something from PLR articles, you are not going to get the same kind of treatment. Go unique, hire someone if need be, and you won't need to worry about what the search engines are doing to make changes in the future.
In the end, the above reasons should suffice to help you not get too caught up with the issues related to search engine algorithm shifts. If you're constantly in fear of what may occur, your pages will showcase detrimental content and that's not a good thing. Take your time, find your niche, and publish quality content overall. The more you focus on the end user and your own content, the higher the chances that your seo will work for you. Just make sure that you do not take shortcuts.

Oct. 4 (Bloomberg) -- European Union finance ministers today reached an agreement on how to move forward with derivatives legislation in a way that satisfies the concerns of the U.K. and other member nations, an EU official said.
The agreement doesn't widen the scope of the current derivatives legislation, as the U.K. had sought. Instead, it provides for an EU declaration that any derivatives not forced into central clearing by the current proposal would be covered by future EU rules.
Finance ministers also agreed to restore a provision that would allow "open access" to clearinghouses, that had been removed from earlier drafts. And they agreed that 26 of the 27 EU states would need to agree in order to block action by an EU member country.

My Halloween/Fall Decor!
So I've had my decorations up for a couple weeks now, but I keep forgetting to post them! I feel like I have a lot of projects to post…it's just finding the time to do it! lol
I basically had everything from last year except for the cute bird and skeleton I found this year at the dollar store. I LOVE dollar tree! I also made some countdown blocks, which I think turned out really cute! Oh and I also meant to finish decorating that pumpkin…add a little ribbon and trim around the top, but that hasn't happened yet! Maybe next year! ;)
Here's my Boo letters!
I decided to decorate above my cabinets this year as well! I'm loving it! I just threw some leaves, acorns and pumpkins in the jar, some wheat in the pail, and hung up the blessings sign I made last year.
I also put some pumpkins in one of my serving bowls that I got last year from HL 90% off fall sale. Seriously that is the best time to buy pumpkins! I think the little ones were only .15 cents and the big ones were maybe $1 or $2. Gotta love those sales!
My dollar store wreath I made last year!
I love holiday decor! It makes me so happy and SO excited for fall! I can't wait till it's cool enough to wear a jacket and sip some Stephen's hot chocolate! mmm

A Dirty Job (2006)

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Più Monty Python che Neil Gaiman, Moore fa sorridere ma stupisce meno che non con il suo Biff. Alcune trovate sono tirate per i capelli e la scrittura vuole essere in molti punti un po' troppo "simpatica", ottenendo un effetto stucchevole. Rimane comunque una piacevole e rilassante lettura, con due o tre cose interessanti sul bardo thodol.
Overall..Good. Moore is a hilarious author. The concept of this book was great. The ending no matter how sad was still really funny and heart warming, even if you saw it coming a mile away! I enjoyed this one! Make this one a must read!
After the birth of his daughter, Charlie Asher, mild-mannered Beta Male, finds his life upended--and not just because he's become a new father. Through a strange course of events, he finds that he has been selected to be a Death Merchant, harvesting the souls of the dead and helping them on their journey to transcendence. The job, unfortunately, comes with a shit-ton of problems, such as being suspected of murder; hellhounds unexpectedly manifesting in his home; sewer harpies taunting him at every turn, encounters with an army of small, nattily dressed chimera; the perpetual threat of the Forces of Darkness rising if he fails; and the disconcerting knowledge that his daughter can kill by simply pointing and uttering that most powerful and fear inducing of words: "kitty." Plus, "Hi, I'm Death. With the big 'D'" doesn't really work as a pick-up line with the ladies. He's got ninety-nine problems, but a bitch ain't one.
His guide to his new lifestyle is The Great Big Book of Death, which really isn't that big. Or informative. Really it's just a lot of cartoonish pictures with such helpful tips as "In order to hold off the Forces of Darkness, you will need a number two pencil and a calendar." Death shops at Staples. Sucks to be Charlie.
There are a lot of words that I could throw around about Moore's writing: zany, wacky, demented, hilarious. But let's go ahead and toss "poignant" on the list. Trust me, everything you expect from a Moore novel is here, but one of the things I admire about his stories is that, for all the strangeness getting stranger, there's a well-spring of compassion and respect for humanity in his work that can surface when you least expect it. It should be no surprise that people die in a book about death, but what may catch many off guard is the genuine respect Moore demonstrates for the passing of a human life and a keen understanding that "Most of us don't live our lives with one, integrated self that meets the world, we're a whole bunch of selves. When someone dies, they all integrate into the soul--the essence of who we are, beyond the different faces we wear throughout our lives." Moments like this are what elevate Moore's work above pure screwball comedic writing. He has a keen understanding that life is absurdity and that humor is the best coping mechanism we have.
After reading LAMB, I wanted more or Moore. I got it in A DIRTY JOB. I LOVED this book. I laughed out loud while riding the train to work and YES, that was while I lived in San Francisco.
If you love quick whit and dark comedy, you have to read this book. Mr. Moore takes you all over San Francisco with excitement and laughter.
I thought this book was interesting. It had an interesting premise and did a decent job of building up the mythology and background. However it seemed as if the author got half way through writing the book and realized that he had a page limit. The book went from a slow build up of characters and suspense to throwing in new characters that are some how very important with no real explanation and the final battle was a bit of a let down. I was disappointed with the book.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060590289, Paperback)
Charlie Asher is a pretty normal guy with a normal life, married to a bright and pretty woman who actually loves him for his normalcy. They're even about to have their first child. Yes, Charlie's doing okay—until people start dropping dead around him, and everywhere he goes a dark presence whispers to him from under the streets. Charlie Asher, it seems, has been recruited for a new position: as Death.
It's a dirty job. But, hey! Somebody's gotta do it.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:40:20 -0400)
Charlie Asher, a neurotic and anxious hypochondriac who hates change, confronts the challenges of being a widower and a single parent when his wife dies of a freak medical condition on the day his new daughter, Sophie, is born.
