"[A] triumph.... The audio presentation adds a new dimension to a text which is required reading for any student of the Spanish Civil War." (AudioFile)
"Engaging insight into Orwell's political education"
The narrative follows Orwell's experiences as a militiaman fighting for the Loyalists in the Spanish Civil War, but the fascinating aspect of the book is Orwell's growing awareness of, and dissatisfaction with, the political environment. One sees, or hears, Orwell go through several stages: his realization of the political infighting on the Loyalist side; his recognition that Soviet geopolitical aims did not accord with those of the Spanish working class; his amazement that the infighting would be allowed to compromise the war against Franco; and his disbelief and finally disgust at the tactics of those following the Soviet line against their supposed allies.
Orwell was both a witness to and a near-victim of the progression of attacks of a totalitarian movement similar to those that were comprehensively described elsewhere by Hannah Arendt. Orwell recognized that the attacks of the Communists against their more radical counterparts needed no basis in fact, yet he hadn't quite accepted that truth, as he went out of his way to disprove the charges. By the time of "Animal Farm" and "1984", he would have internalized this lesson and depicted it in all its basic cruelty. A fascinating question is whether those later books would have been possible without Orwell's experiences in Spain.
Orwell described the horrors and misery of war, but one definitely gets the sense that he would have thought them all worthwhile if his idealistic faith in working class solidarity had not been shattered.
"Excellent book, marred by narration"
It goes without saying that an Orwell book comes recommended, and HOMAGE TO CATALONIA is indeed a fascinating account of the politics and lived experience of the Spanish Civil War. But the narration, while not the worst I have heard on audible, detracts from the overall experience. He fails to convey the irony and bemusement of the text, and as others have remarked, the accent doesn't sound right.
"Gives valuable insight into Orwell and Fascism."
Have not read the print version.
Who turned the review feature into a marketing ploy? These questions are idiotic.
All you people care about is selling entertainment, right? That said, Davidson was great. He narrated several books that deal with History and Communism. My introduction to him was via The Gulag Archipelago, which I recommend to every American living through these times. I have thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated his craft.
No, I'm not a stooge who reads or listens to audio books for entertainment. You people clearly think that all is fiction. How Postmodern!
Orwell went to Spain to fight for Socialism. He found out that Socialists become Fascists when the get into power. This book is a good introduction into what motivated him to write 1984.
"A must for all who respect Orwell"
I've always had a profound respect for Orwell and both 1984 and Animal Farm greatly influenced me when I read them for the first time in my teens. I had always intended to read Homage to Catalonia but I'm in my 40's and just now got around to this great work. If you want to understand Orwell you must read/listen to this book. As much as I respect Orwell, I've always profoundly disagreed with his anarchist/socialist political beliefs. This work has greatly helped me to understand his political beliefs and to reconcile 1984 & Animal Farm with these beliefs.
Regarding the narrator, this is the second book I've listened to narrated by Frederick Davidson (Quo Vadis was the other) and I find him very hard to take. His snobbish--bordering at times on effeminate--British accident is a real turn off to my ear. I find it very hard to believe Orwell spoke anything like this and the irony of the anarchist/socialist anti-bourgeois Orwell having his first hand account of his experience in the Spanish Civil War being narrated by such a voice is pretty hard to take. On the positive side, even though the British accent is pretty strong, the narrator is very understandable to an American ear so I quickly found myself ignoring the accent as I became engrossed in the work.
"spot-on reading"
Frederick Davidson's voice is perfect for this book. I think the accent is something close to Oxford English, but as an American could easily understand everything he said.
And Orwell's memoir, of course, is brilliant.
"A fascinating narrative!"
I knew next to nothing of the Spanish Civil War, yet was fascinated by Orwelll's tale of his 1936/37 experience on the front lines and in Barcelona.
"Great narration"
The way the book was read I was almost convinced it was Orwell doing it. Fantastic.
Audible obsessed lifelong learner.
"Front row seat to the inhumanity"
First person account of the Spanish Civil War told through Orwell's eyes as he joined the cause to squash the Fascists. The mundane to the extreme come to life including the agonizing mortality embracing belief he was dying when he was shot in the throat. A great first account that is very compelling due to Orwell's mastery of story telling.
I'm a writer of everything from children's picture books to fiction to memoir. I usually listen to nonfiction, mostly history, on Audible simply because I prefer to read novels on the page. The only exception to that rule is short stories and I'm partial to the Selected Shorts Anthologies.
"An excellent study of the Spanish Civil War"
George Orwell is worth listening to on any subject. I recommend this and DOWN AND OUT IN LONDON AND PARIS. History as it happens.
Lover of the classics, history, interesting characters, and unique thinking
"Great book awful reader"
There is no doubt Homage to Catalonia is a great work of literature. Unfortunately this reader sounds like an incredibly snobby British person. In my mind there's no way Orwell, who lived on the streets in London and Paris and volunteered to fight in the Spanish Civil War, sounded anything like this guy.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

A comparison of methods for differential expression analysis of RNA-seq data

Published: 9 March 2013Abstract
Finding genes that are differentially expressed between conditions is an integral part of understanding the molecular basis of phenotypic variation. In the past decades, DNA microarrays have been used extensively to quantify the abundance of mRNA corresponding to different genes, and more recently high-throughput sequencing of cDNA (RNA-seq) has emerged as a powerful competitor. As the cost of sequencing decreases, it is conceivable that the use of RNA-seq for differential expression analysis will increase rapidly. To exploit the possibilities and address the challenges posed by this relatively new type of data, a number of software packages have been developed especially for differential expression analysis of RNA-seq data.
We conducted an extensive comparison of eleven methods for differential expression analysis of RNA-seq data. All methods are freely available within the R framework and take as input a matrix of counts, i.e. the number of reads mapping to each genomic feature of interest in each of a number of samples. We evaluate the methods based on both simulated data and real RNA-seq data.
Very small sample sizes, which are still common in RNA-seq experiments, impose problems for all evaluated methods and any results obtained under such conditions should be interpreted with caution. For larger sample sizes, the methods combining a variance-stabilizing transformation with the 'limma' method for differential expression analysis perform well under many different conditions, as does the nonparametric SAMseq method.

Matthewpaul939...I just had to say: WHAT A GORGEOUS, PRECIOUS little one you have hanging from your nose! Congrats on that special little bundle!
Day Two Continues: We were HUNGRY--thanks to the way-too-authentic-smelling attraction we just exited (Mickeys Philharmagic for those that may have forgotten). We scanned the itinerary and decided to eat at Pecos Bills. I LIKE Pecos Bills. It really has nothing to do with the food. I just like the name. I spent a few of my single-digit years living in a speck of a town that shared part of that eaterys name. Oh yeah, and I REALLY like their condiments bar (be sure you read that word correctly, I dont want there to be any confusion as to what Im after at this place, now). TEEBEE agrees since hes really not picky and is just thrilled that HE didnt have to plan any part of this trip. And its here that I make a suggestion and try to show-off some of my mad Disney knowledge to my husband: Me: I know a short-cut to Pecos Bills. Aaaannnnddddd itll take us right past the Haunted Mansion. What do you say? Want to ride it first, before we go eat? TEEBEE: Yeah. Okay. Whatever. So, I took a right (WHOOPS!) and headed off towards the Castle in search of Its-A- Small-(homicidal)-World. Okay let me stop here for a minute and explain myselfsince I keep taking jabs at this poor, innocent ride. I have to confess something. Not counting this trip, I ALWAYS make it a point to go on this attraction. Next to Main Street and the Castle, this annoying little ride DEFINES being in WDW for me. I havent figured out why yet. I think its because its one of the rides that I remember so vividly from my first trip to WDW. So I try to make a point to ride it. It wasnt in the cards for this trip, however. Okay. Moving along. Now, Ive mentioned before that Im not as familiar with Fantasyland as I am the other parts of WDW. But I was SURE that I had remembered this shortcut correctly. But when I hit the Castle area, I knew that I had made a tactical error somewhere. DARN IT! TEEBEE: This doesnt look right. ME: GRUNT! Hush. This is the shortcut for the long way around. For those not quite familiar with the area that Im referring to, or those that cant quite remember the layout of MK, imagine, if you will, a clock. Mickeys Philharmagic is around the 2 oclock position and the Haunted Mansion is just northwest of the 10 oclock position. So I should have turned LEFT out of Mickeys Philharmagic and gone counter-clockwise. But remember, I turned RIGHT and went clock-wise and ended up walking twice as far. But the scenery was nice. Sure wish I would have taken some pictures of it. But since I didnt here is another shot from our November 2005 trip. It's fitting here since we did pass this on my misguided shortcut: You may be wondering if TEEBEE was put out by this side-adventure I led him on. Well, he wasnt (at least not that he showed). Mainly because hes accustomed to me doing this type of thing to him. You see, Im the navigator when he drives. So, weve had plenty of these adventures in our time together and Im sure well have plenty more since I love to find shortcuts .to the LONG way around. Passing by the Hall of Presidents (now at the 7 oclock position on above mentioned clock) I spot THE HAUNTED MANSION! Yes. We're ALOMST there! Me: Arent you EXCITED, TEEBEE? TEEBEE: No. Im tired. And my feet hurt. Me: Dont make me make you the 1000th Happy Haunt. Spooky. Thats the word that sums up the entrance to this ride. But in a COOL way. How did Disney come up with all of that neat stuff? And the humor of this ride starts with those headstones (and possibly the shortcuts taken to get to the attraction). But Im a coward. And the pre-show ALWAYS spooks me a little ESPECIALLY at night. And the corpse hanging from the rafters why did I ever have to look up and see that? Some folks may not know what Im talking about here either. But at the very end of the pre-show, when the lights go out and it thunders and lightenings look up at the ceiling its pretty disturbing. The lights come back on, the door opens and we race to the doom buggies. But we must first conquer the people mover. We both step onto it and arent quite sure which buggy were supposed to get into. Since the folks in front of us took the buggy we were aiming for, we changed our aim to the one behind them. But we were nearing the end of the people mover. Like I mentioned earlier, TEEBEE views this part of the ride as a personal challenge. So he hurries into the buggy, banging his knee really hard on the handle. OUCH. But, we won. We were in the buggy BEFORE we reached the end of the people mover. So what happens to the folks who arent as lucky as we were? I have a theory. It came to me once while we were on this ride on a previous trip and all the buggies stopped. We were mid-turn, in front of a LOUD speaker, in the room with the floating-head-in-a-globe thingy. In my mind I imagined that someone had failed the Doom-Buggy-Entrance-Challenge and was fed to one of those things behind those doors at the beginning of the ride. But Im sure Disney wouldnt do that. Would they? Unless it was Mike Eisner. Hmmm maybe THATS where he went. We made it through the ride and I survived those screaming heads that kept popping up from the ground .and kept SCARING the TAR out of me .again .still. But when we reached the end of the ride, we were cheated. We didnt get a hitch-hiking ghost. The couple in front of us did. And the empty buggy behind us did but NO HITCH-HIKING-GHOST for us! Maybe next time. And speaking of next time: I should make it through our lunch at Pecos Bills. Until then, here's a picture from our Dec. 2000, trip with my parents: I'm including this picture since my "shortcut" led right past these things...making TEEBEE really wish I was locked up in them at the moment...And for those that may not know this, the Haunted Mansion is just to the right of where this picture was taken (and a little to the north). Until next time....

Day Two Continues (Thank goodness this was only a four day trip):
Can we EAT already?! Yeah I think we should. But no shortcuts this time. Come to think of it, Im starting to feel that my entire trip report is shaping up to be ALOT like one of my notorious shortcuts. ONWARD!!! Since we BOTH know the way from Haunted Mansion over to Frontierland, we managed the trek with great ease. I love this part of Magic Kingdom. My roots are from the Good Ole West. Its like home to me. Except we didnt have any bears . just desert and tumble weeds (seriously). And just up the way we spot this (although this picture was from our November 2002 trip, it pretty much looked the same): Now, we dont know any of the folks in the picture were just snagging a shot of the bear and the PECOS BILL SIGN! I wont drag out our eating experience too much, but I will say this, I enjoyed their dry hamburgers. If you put enough mustard on it, its hard to tell how dry it really is. And I made my standard stop by the condiments bar to load up on some cooked mushrooms, pickles, shredded lettuce and tomatoes. YUM YUM! Oh yeah, and a tiny speck of ketchup for my fries. A warning about the desserts well, what they tried to pass off as a dessert anyway. They only have one the Peanut Butter Brownie Mousse. The name scared us enough as it was, but we figured wed try it since it was included with the dining plan anyway. Id rather have had a Dole Whip. Enough said. Ill also spare you the parenting tips TEEBEE and I discussed at our table while trying desperately to ignore the children at the table across from us whose parents CLEARLY had no parenting knowledge. This isnt the debate board and some of you might not agree with what TEEBEE and I think those young uns needed a good dose of. So well skip that part. And finally, I will spare you pictures of more indecent clothing (mainly because I didnt take any photos of this most recent assault on decency). But I have another question for you. Is the new style to try and show as much flesh as possible? I know its hot in Florida. Even in May. But must I see three fourths of a persons cleavage? And as low as some of those waistlines were on shorts, Im fairly confident that seeing undergarments wasnt going to be a problem. Theres no way that they were wearing any. Okay visuals and rants over at least until I get to day three. With our bellies full, it was time to go ride a ride that is fast becoming one of my favorites: Tomorrowland Transit Authority (TTA)! Steven was just thankful I hadnt recommended a spinning ride or rollercoaster. This ride is more his speed anyway. Id love to say that we swang by Adventureland and rode the all new POTC, but I cant at least not truthfully. They had just closed it down to make it all new. But we did see this along the way: Okay. So a squirrel cant make up for missing POTCeven if it is a Disney squirrel--but thats okay because TTA was waiting for us. When youre hot and/or not in the mood to battle crowds, this is a cute little ride. Ask ZZUB. I think hes friends with one of the gentleman that gets paged on the ride Mr. Tom Morrow. Maybe ZZUB can tell Mr. Tom Morrow to answer that darned page already. (And if that last part makes no sense to you, click here for a most excellent adventure...and explanation). But this ride makes me start missing my little ones again. Princesses J and R really like this ride except for the tunnels. That spooks them a little. And an added bonus to this ride you get to play the People-Mover-Challenge twiceonce getting onto the ride and again when you exit. Four times if you count the Escalator-Without-Stairs that takes you to and from the loading platform. No banged knees or close calls for us this time around. We were pros. I mentioned to TEEBEE that Id like to take some time during this trip and visit the Main Street Fire Station and Town Hall as well as browse leisurely through the Main Street shops all things that we can do and now appreciate since the Princesses arent with us. Let me say this: Please go explore Town Hall. It has some hidden treasures inside and its air-conditioned. We had the place to ourselves: I'm making that face because I'm not quite sure how I feel about having my head sticking out what appears to be Dopey's stomach...ICK!!! But look at this handsome devil: We then headed over to the Fire Station and bought a few MORE things. Oh, it appears that I forgot to mention ALL of the stuff we bought for the Princesses while we toured the Main Street shops. I guess Im still in denial over that topic. Gift bags in tow, we head to the bus stop. Me: Come ON, TEEBEE! TEEBEE: (behind mounds of shopping bags) You COULD help me with these, you know. Me: Well, I already have to carry the fanny pack.

We love the PeopleMover. Yes it's lame, yes there is no thrill in it and yes the narration is cheesier than the stuff they sell for your "nachos" at the Circle K. Still, it's classic Disney. And when you think about it, most of the MK rides are kinda lame. Space Mountain is nothing compared with RnR. But it's Disney World and, at least for us, it's a must do. The look on your husband's face. We have about 2 dozen pictures of me with the same look. Why do y'all insist on making us take those pictures?

Cahty Pharoah is co-director of the Centre for Charitable Giving and Philanthropy at Cass Business School.
Pharoah was director of research for the Charities Aid Foundation from 1995 until 2006, after which she went on to set up a new research company, Third Sector Prospect, in 2007.
Is this profile up-to-date? If not, please let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com
Reports of the death of corporate philanthropy may be exaggerated, but if the 2012 Corporate Partnerships Survey is anything to go by there are clear changes. Celina Ribeiro pulls out some of the annual survey's main findings.
Some are up, some are down, some are staying put. The Charity Market Monitor 2011 finds that while events fundraising has flatlined, other income streams are either more or less profitable than before. Cathy Pharaoh discusses some of the top trends from 2009/2010.
Older consumers have more to give, and they give it. So why are charities worried about over-reliance on ageing donor bases? Cathy Pharoah says charities need to continue to focus on the ever-more-lucrative grey pound.
Voluntary income stumbled in 2008/2009, but do charities face a tougher time to come? The Charity Market Monitor 2010 with Cathy Pharoah finds out how some organisations have fared so far and what fundraisers should look out for.
Health causes already account for one third of all legacies, but with government cutbacks and increased demand likely to impact on the health sector, Cathy Pharoah suggests that competition for legacies between health charities is only going to get fiercer.
There is nothing alarming in the latest giving statistics, now charities need to display calm and consistency to their faithful donors. Cathy Pharoah writes as part of a series of four expert articles this month following the UK Giving report.
Tania Mason examines the UK Giving results and finds specks of optimism among the recession gloom.
Figures from the top 300 fundraising charities reveal the latest trends in legacy fundraising, and offer insight into cause-related giving in a recession, as Charity Market Monitor author Cathy Pharoah reports.

I have very long medium-thick straight hair, and not a fan of curling. I admit, I only wear curls when I go to salons, because I don't know how to curl my own hair! I find it frustrating and too much time consuming. I envy those who can wear curls! :(
So...after reading reviews, I've decided to try this hot curlers, my perspective about curling changed! I started to love wearing wavy or curly hairs. It's not that hard to use: I section my hair, roll and clip, wait about 5 - 15 mins (depends on your hair type), do my make up and unroll it, comb it with my fingers, and it's pretty easy for me.
I use hair serum or leave-in after shower, then heat protectant spray before curling. Then after curling, I spray a bit of hairspray, it last longer that way for me.
I recommend this for girls who wants to curl their hair while doing something else (make up or check emails) and for those whose trying to curl for the first time and still learning.
Only downside is it is space consuming.
More reviews by woahitsbrooke92
I got these as a gift, since I needed an easier way to curl my hair since curling irons don't work too great for me. I thought I'd give these a shot since they looked awesome and I had heard pretty good things about them. They are pretty much awesome curlers. It was easy for me to get the hang of it after some practice, and when I took the curlers out my hair was beautiful. But even with heat protectant, my ends looked fried. And after about an hour, my hair would fall almost to my natural wavy hair. The little clamps aren't so great either. Once I clip them into my hair, its like they just fall halfway out anyways. The big box they sit in is really bulky. This might work on a different hair type, since my hair is pretty thick, but this just did NOT work out for me. :[
Got these curlers at Wal-Mart and paid around $20-$30. They heat up in a couple of minutes and don't have any spiky things on them - so they don't pull on my hair.
I don't have time to use them every day, but I like them.

these hot rollers made my hair look amazing... for about 2 hours. then it was back to being literally stick straight. if my curls actually stayed intact i would freakin love this product, my hair was actually shinier and smoother after using these rollers in than it was before using them (thanks to the ceramic and ionic treatment from the rollers). i had shiny, volumized, bouncy/wavy curls- my dream come true except for the fact that they didn't last. i also wanted a set of hot rollers because i thought that using them would actually be faster in the morning than my chi iron, but it's really more tedious and time consuming (as well as space consuming in my bathroom). could be because i've gotten so good at curling my hair with an iron that it takes me less than 15 minutes now in comparison to the 20 minutes you have to leave these in for, not to mention the time it takes to heat them up, pin them in, and then take them out. the pins included to hold them in are CRAP, they unroll halfway after you put them in and leave hot parts of the roller exposed and your neck burned. i could imagine with some practice and the right type of hair this might work wonders for you, but i'm returning mine.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I am very impressed with these hot rollers. It has been years since I've rolled my hair because I always found other rollers to be really time consuming and tedious to get the rollers to stay in. I have a Black Tie holiday party coming up and when I found these at Ross for $10, I decided to give them a try. It is hard to describe how the rollers work, but I found them simple to wrap and they really held in well. The set is compact and has a convenient cord wrap. 24 rollers were just enough for my just beyond shoulder length hair. This is not something I will use every day, but for special occasions this set is just right.
I love these! They heat up super fast (about 2 minutes) & create great curls:) There are two sizes of curlers, small/medium & medium large. My routine is to: wash my hair, blow dry, put these in & leave them in for about 20 minutes, take out, & then "finger brush" my hair. I then style & spray a little hairspray. DO NOT use a straightner before putting these in...your hair will not curl as well (I know this from experience). I purchased them at Target for about 20$. I actually had to buy two because I have so much gosh darn hair that I couldn't curl all of my hair with just one set.

Richard Fountain is the author of The Wellwishers. He resides in the Boston area with his wife and children.
I've always had a desire, if not an opportunity, to put the stories banging around inside my head to paper. I remember when my kids were little and we would drive for family vacations, my wife and I would talk about these stories, the characters, the plot lines, the possible endings. It was a very cathartic process for me, when I actually sat down to write these stories. They went from being inside my head, pestering me, down to paper. Now I can't wait to write the next one.
Richard Fountain's first novel, THE WELLWISHERS, was released in August 2008 by The Overmountain Press. Since its successful introduction, Fountain has been aggressively promoting THE WELLWISHERS across the United States and is currently in the midst of a northeast book tour.

Mr. Pickle was born near Chicago and spent several years living in the Milwaukee area. He has wanted to take us to see his old stomping grounds for several years, and it looks like we'll be heading that way in mid-May. At this point, we're planning to leave May 14th and return either the 21st or 22nd.
I am just starting to do some research. We might fly into MKE, spend a day there, then head west; Mr. Pickle wants us to see The House on the Rock, Taliesin, and some things he remembers fondly from childhood.
From there, we would head to Chicago, drop off our rental car, and spend a few days in the city. He wants to go to the Museum of Science and Industry, and since PickleDude is a Red Sox fan, we're planning to see them play the White Sox.
I won't ask about other activities right now, since I'm just starting to consider possibilities, but what recommendations can you give me for Chicago lodging? Under $150 a night would be ideal.
How about food? Under $10 for lunch, under $20 for dinner? We'll eat just about anything.
Thanks, y'all!

For a cheap lunch in Chicago, try Pierogi Heaven on N. Wells.
It is a hole in the wall place underneath the El but the pierogis are pretty good.
To avoid a drop off charge on the car, bring it back to MKE and turn it in and take one of the 6 Hiawatha trains per day from the airport station to Chicago. -

Thanks for the tips, tomfuller. I'm just starting to check rental cars, but it's the same price to rent a one-way with Dollar as it is to pick up and drop off in Milwaukee.

Downtown Milwaukee along the river has changed quite a bit, you may want to research that area and spend more than a day. Or not, but he may be very interested in seeing the changes.
I stayed at the Palmer House in downtown Chicago for under $150, it was a special (pre-paid I believe) for something like $120 or so. I've also stayed at City Suites for around $110 a night, it is older and the rooms are small. It's north of downtown right on the El so very easy access to downtown.
I can't give specific food recommendations, I pretty much wander around and stop in somewhere that looks good and then I never remember where I was. -

Having been to a Red Sox @ White Sox game, it was a unique atmosphere that night at US Cellular Field...Section I was sitting in had a lot of altercations between White Sox fans. Red Sox fans stayed away...
That being said, I enjoyed the stadium and would not hesitate to go back. Its 5 years already since I was in Chicago and Milwaukee. It was a great trip for sure.
Here is the link to my trip report (old but most activities will still be there). Hotels may have changed though...

I doubt you'll find the Palmer House or many other places in Chicago for under $150. May 18-21 will see approximately 66,000 people in town for the National Restaurant Association show, one of the largest the city hosts. About 20,000 will stay over May 21-23 for the National Confectioners Association meeting.
If your dates are flexible, look between May 8-18 or May 24-31. The city is only expecting around 12,000 conventioneers those weeks. Another option could be to flip your itinerary to visit Chicago first, then head to Wisconsin.
If you can't change your dates, book something ASAP that you can cancel and keep looking. Most hotels release blocked rooms about 30-days before a meeting, so you may find a deal in mid-April. -

Citylghts, my daughter graduates from college May 11th, and Mr. Pickle needs to be home over Memorial Day for inventory at his job, and we don't want to go in June when school gets out, so those are the most likely dates.
Our original thought was to do Chicago first, but we'd like to go to the ball game if we can.
Tchoiniere, thanks for the link to your trip report.
I got some info from AAA today. Once we look over all of that, I'll have more questions!

Okay, if your dates are fixed, not much you can do. To find a good deal, try the bidding sites like Hotels.com or Priceline. For tips on how to snag the property you want check www.betterbidding.com or www.biddingfortravel.com.
For general tourism info, go to www.choosechicago.com. Transit info for the city is on the CTA site at www.transitchicago.com. It has a trip planner, maps, info on where to buy passes and how to track buses and trains with a smart phone.
To find info on happenings and restaurant listings, check www.chicagoreader.com or www.chicagomag.com. You can search restaurants by cuisine, price or location. -

Thanks for all the links, Citylghts. I was just looking at www.choosechicago.com before I came here.
I'll take a look at hotels.com, too. I don't think Priceline will work since there are three of us.

You can do Hotwire with 3 people. Too bad that is a big convention weekend. I have had a lot of luck with Priceline and Hotwire in Chicago. I would still book something with no cancellation penalty and keep trying Hotwire.
I loved the free Chicago Greeters neighborhood tour I went on last visit. It was just the guide and me. I requested a tour of Old Town. We walked around Old Town and also did the Chicago History Museum--free with the guide and walked over to the Lincoln Park zoo and gardens. You need to reserve ahead of time. -

Well, you could always go see the Red Sox play the Twins in Minneapolis over the weekend....that's kind of a terrible idea though lol.
See if you can find something a little further out within your budget in Chicago? I might be weird but I really like riding the El into downtown. And yes, the Palmer is really expensive those dates, like almost $300/night. I got it for less than half that the week after Labor Day. -
Report Abuse
The last Hiawatha train out of Chicago leaves at 8:05 PM if that would save you an expensive hotel night. You get to the Milwaukee Airport about 9:20 PM.

I had this beaaaautiful fabrics just arrived direct from Bamako, and I had made my own bust pattern to my very measure. So I wanted to take advantage of it by making a top pattern from it, very adjusted. The fabrics is a bit elastic so I didn't have to put a zip. And I am very happy with the result.

Moving aboard in San Diego
We are very anxious to be back aboard, made the deal over the week-end and should be back on board by the 1st of October. We bought a 1973 45 foot Columbia sailboat, which we found on the classifieds on Sailnet, and are very happy about it.
The owner has done a lot of work to the boat and it shows. Looks almost like it did when it came out of the yard the 1st time. New hull paint, new house paint, most items overhauld, and mechanics are in good condition. So we are happy to have found and purchased her. We'll be living in San Diego, transferrable live aboard slip, for a few years until we are comfortable with the boat. We lived aboard a power boat for years but new to the sailboat lifestyle. We have a lot to learn about sailing and have made arrangements for instructions. It feels great to be moving back aboard, living on the mud is not as fun. I'll be hanging around the forum and asking questions. Posting when I think I can offer good suggestions. |
I for one am shocked by your lack of manners.
Weren't you raised that every such post must be accompanied by pix for the rest of us to drool over? Honestly, civilization really is going to pot. |
Really, doesn't even say which Marina he'll be in

We will definitely be aboard September 1st though and you may stop by with beer or wine and anything else you care to bring. lol I'll be glad to get together with all locals, will provide details later. |

Title: Dark Obsession
Author: Amanda Stevens
Publication Info: Silhouette (Dreamscapes) 1995
Genre: Paranormal
I'm categorizing all my category (har!) reviews under the heading "1001 Ways to Eat Crow" because I'm reading a monster truck shitload of category romance right now, averaging about 75% of a book per day. I read fast. And I'm enjoying them. For the most part. This is an exception. But either way, I'm reading quickly enough that my usual monster session of navel-gazing in a review will have to be trimmed by a good bit for the category binge I'm on now. Avast – here begin ye shorte reviews!
In a word, this book was Yawntastic. It has such a great setup, but the plot and the characterization were so limply executed. A horror writer's sister is murdered, and a vampire hero has to save her, protect her from potentially risen sister, and eradicate the bad guy vampire dude what's doing the killing. The heroine writes books that scare even the hero, yet in the course of the story she's firmly a wuss on the border of TSTL. I was repeatedly told she authored some scary, chilling books but saw no evidence of creativity or crafty thinking in any portion of her scenes in the book. Perhaps she has a ghost writer- literally.
And you know all those warnings to "show not tell?" This here is a 251-page example of tell tell tell with little to show for it. Honestly, it reminds me of Moonlight where terrific actors suffer through some of the most wooden, uninspiring dialog ever in the history of the televised world. If this book were a radio play, the voice actors would probably be shrugging and rolling their eyes as they read it aloud. Check this out:
"…Don't forget the oath we all took. We can't reveal the Mission or its purpose to anyone. if the citizens out there found out what we're dealing with, there would be mass hysteria. Civilization as we know it could crumble, and we would have no way to prevent it. You can't tell her, Nick. You can't tell anyone…."
What if he couldn't protect Erin? What if he lost her to the darkness, too? He'd already lost his soul. How could he survive knowing that she had lost hers, too?
Behold: among my least favorite romance stereotypical heroes? The whiny-ass navel-gazing angsty emo Vampire. More emo than Peter Petrelli from Heroes and that is some emorific emoism to the 100th power of emo, my friend.
And among the top twenty list of my stereotype dislikes in romance? The Doomful Warning of Mass Hysteria from the character who wants to preserve the ignorance of the mortals. Give it up already, dude.
In the end, well, I didn't get to the end. After the heroine went into yet another trance and the hero busted down the door to save her, I skimmed to the end. There was a happy ending. I wasn't happy for either of the characters. I couldn't have cared less.

Your RRSP contributions are tax deductible. That means you can claim them as a tax deduction when you file your income tax return — and lower the tax you pay.
How much you can contribute each year
There are limits on how much you can contribute each year to your own RRSPs and your spouse's RRSPs. Your total contribution room for the year is the lower of:
18% of your earned income for the previous year, or
the maximum contribution amount for the current tax year: $23,820 for 2013.
If you are a member of a pension plan, your pension adjustment will reduce the amount you can contribute to your RRSP.
Where to find your RRSP deduction limit: You can find your RRSP deduction limit on your most recent Notice of Assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). You receive this Notice of Assessment after you file your tax return. You can also view your deduction limit online if you register for CRA's My Account.
Be aware of the contribution deadline
You have 60 days after the end of the year (usually until March 1, or February 29 in a leap year) to make your RRSP contribution for the previous year. For the 2013 tax year, March 3, 2014 is the deadline.
Build your savings faster by making your contributions early in the year. Read Planning your RRSP contributions: Gary, Kevin, and Judith's story.
Carrying forward unused contribution room
If you don't have the money to contribute to your RRSP this year, you can carry forward your contribution room indefinitely to future years. This unused contribution room will be taken into account on your RRSP Deduction Limit Statement, which you can find on your most recent Notice of Assessment or on CRA's My Account.
Example – Your contribution room was $15,000 in 2012 but you didn't make an RRSP contribution. You carry this forward to 2013. If your 2013 contribution room is $23,820 (the maximum amount), you can make total RRSP contributions of $38,820 ($15,000 + $23,820) in 2013.
Thinking about borrowing to make an RRSP contribution? Make sure you can afford to make the loan payments and plan to pay back the loan right away. Consider using your tax refund to help pay down the loan. Interest charges are not tax-deductible. They can add up and offset the initial benefit of making the RRSP contribution. Learn more about borrowing to invest in an RRSP.
Unused RRSP contributions
You don't have to deduct an RRSP contribution on your tax return in the same year you make the contribution. You can wait and deduct it in a future year. You may choose to do this if you think your income will be higher in the future, moving you up to a higher tax bracket. This is called having unused RRSP contributions. Learn more about how it works.
What happens if you over-contribute
In general, you have to pay a tax if your unused RRSP contributions from prior years and your current contributions exceed the RRSP deduction limit shown on your latest Notice of Assessment by more than $2,000. The tax is 1% per month on the excess amount. Learn more about excess RRSP contributions.
If you're a member of a pension plan: If you've already put money into a pension plan, you can't put as much into an RRSP. Learn how your RRSP contribution room may be affected by participating in a pension plan.

My son just turned 6 and has outgrown his first bike. Since he's just about 4 feet tall, we've been told that a 20" wheel would be the most appropriate size for him, until he reaches 5 feet. My question is this: Are the bikes that one can purchase from the big box stores -- Wal*Mart, Target, Toys R Us -- significantly enough inferior to or somehow more "unsafe" than what one could buy from an independent bike shop that there would be a concern that the bike would not last long enough for my son to outgrow it? I'm concerned about shelling out money for a product that a 6 year old is going to be using and eventually outgrowing, much the way I would feel about buying a toddler designer label clothes that get outgrown too fast and stained on first use. I'm interested in reading what others have to say, thanks.

The Quick Start Guide to VOIP for the Home |
E911 and Dialing 911 with VOIPOne of the major drawbacks to VOIP phone service is the limitations when it comes to the handling of emergency 911 calls. In traditional 911, an emergency response center traces the location of the caller through the phone number. Telephone companies provide 911 operators with a reverse lookup file that automatically pulls up the caller's physical address. However, in the case of a mobile telephone number, such as calls from a cell phone, geographic location of the caller is more difficult. As well, in the case of VOIP, the geographic location of a 911 caller is unknown since VOIP uses the Internet (IP addresses) instead of telephone numbers to route calls. IP addresses do not have geographic addresses tied to them. That's where E911 comes in. What is E911?Enhanced 911 (E911) is network feature developed by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) in North America in which the both the calling number and the physical location of the caller is transmitted to the 911 operator. Originally developed by the FCC to allow mobile or cellular phones to process 911 emergency calls and help emergency services locate the geographic position of the caller, E911 is now mandated by the FCC to be provided by broadband phone companies as well. In June of 2005, the FCC ruled that VOIP service providers that connect to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), must include E911 service in their regular service plans. VOIP providers that offer computer to computer services, such as Skype, do not provide 911 service. Not all VOIP providers offer E911 yet so make sure you find out how your current or potential Internet phone company stacks up. The FCC also mandated that VOIP providers clearly spell out the limitations of their 911 service so that you know when 911 is available and when it is not. For example, VOIP 911 service may be in unavailable during a power outage or broadband Internet outage. Or the local public service answering points (PSAPs) are not yet equipped to receive or display E911 address information. Related Articles |

I am currently in my third year as an Academic Clinical Fellow in Paediatrics, working in child health epidemiology and international child health within the Institute of Health and Society. I am interested in the first 'thousand days' (from conception) for children and the impact of that period on later child and adulthood health and disease. I am particularly interested in the role of the social determinants of health, particularly early life stress.
