By way of background:...
Verified Purchase
By way of background: I have around 3 dozen fountain pens, from various
manufacturers, both new made and vintage. And to frame this review: there cannot
be one truly "perfect" pen for all users, since users have differing needs.
IE: one person needs a pen to use outdoors and in the field, so they will value
ruggedness. Another person needs a prestigious looking pen for use in a
corporate boardroom, and a third person is on a tight budget and values economy.
Typically, a pen will fit one category but not another—the cheap pen is not
impressive as a prestige item, and the expensive pen that writes very smoothly
was not made to knock about, and son. However, my gunmetal color Platinum
Plaisir (fine point) is the closest I've come to meeting all categories
adequately in one fountain pen.
Do note that the exact same nib and feed come in the Platinum Preppy, which sells for an incredibly low price and for that price writes unbelievably well. However, the Preppy is made of thin plastic covered with decals. Even if one goes to the work of removing the decals, it does not look nice at all. It looks disposable and…it is. Yes, the Preppy is refillable but the two I have owned have both cracked in rapid order and I've heard the same from other owners. For me, durability is a primary reason I use a fountain pen and not a throwaway ballpoint, so the Preppy isn't in the same category as the Plaisir. The Plaisir is utterly reliable: I've never (in months of daily use and all sorts of conditions, including flying) known the pen to fail. It starts right up every time I grab it and writes smoothly from the get go. You cannot use it as an ED, but the Platinum cartridges are twice the size of a standard international and will last a long time. I've filled out an entire 6' by 9' notebook with one cartridge. And the pen is sturdy. I do some outdoor adventuring and the Plaisir bumps around in a rucksack with hiking gear, has been dropped in the dirt, dropped on rock, dropped on wooden floor (alright so I'm a wee bit clumsy). I've yet to break or significantly dent the pen. There's also the possibility of losing a pen, and I've learned not to bring expensive vintage pens into a workplace or outdoor setting where they could be lost or taken. Fortunately, the Plaisir is only a fraction of the price of a fine vintage pen, so if I did lose it I wouldn't cry (and the gunmetal is shiny like chrome so it's easy to locate and I haven't lost it). The finish is scratch resistant. But here's the amazing bit…despite its rugged durability, the pen is elegant and rather expensive looking, and the funny thing is that I get more compliments in business-type meetings than pens which are actually of considerably greater value. Now the final question, which any pen aficionado really wants to know…how does it write? And to be honest, it writes good but not outstandingly so. It is better than any Chinese pen I've used, better than a number of German nib pens, but not as good as my vintage Parker or Esterbrook. However, as I said before, it is much less valuable. My vintage pens stay on the desk at home because I'd be mortified if I dropped or lost them, but the Plaisir writes just fine and I don't worry about it. There's never any scratchiness or frustration—I've written more with it than any other pen I own—but it just doesn't have that perfect gliding- on -air feel that a real expensive pen has. So if you use fountain pens all the time everywhere you go, this is the one tool I'd recommend for your writing arsenal. 1 person found this helpful

I'd had my eye on the...
I'd had my eye on the Platinum Plaiser FP for quite some time and recently was
gifted the pen by my husband. The cap system that prevents dry-outs had
intrigued me. I like to keep a fountain pen in my writing kit paired with a
Coleto 4 for notes, but my previous fountain pens would dry up between seminars
and leave me without black ink when I needed it the most. I got tired of having
to remember to double check my fountain pen before I left for events. I also did
not want an expensive fountain pen for my kit in case it got lost while I'm on
the go.
I've owned the Plaisir for a few weeks. It starts immediately and always gives a smooth, clear line. The fine nib (.3), glides across the paper in an effortless manner that I expect from a more expensive fountain pen. It wrote well right from the package. No tuning was needed. I am currently using Stipula Black ink and the pen and ink seem to be happy with one another. The converter holds a decent amount of ink, so I do not worry about running out in the middle of note taking. The Plaisir is the same height and width as my Coleto 4, which creates balance in my pen case. The Gunmetal Grey with silver accents is professional looking and I've received many compliments on the look of my pen. I call the two pens my "Dynamic Duo". All in all, I have been very pleased with this fountain pen. I own more expensive pens, but for the purpose I now use the Plaisir for, it is a perfect fit for my needs. 1 person found this helpful

Catholic faith thrives in the migrant camps
VENICE, FL (The Florida Catholic) - Father Jose del Olmo arrived in late afternoon at the migrant camp in far eastern Manatee County near Myakka City. He makes the trip from St. Jude Parish in Sarasota every Sunday to minister to the families who live in this camp and seven others spread out in this remote, rural area.
MYAKKA CITY - Father Jose del Olmo, parochial vicar of St. Jude Parish in Sarasota, celebrates Mass in the fields of a migrant camp outside Myakka City in Manatee County. The Eucharistic celebration is held in a tool shed near the trailers where the migrant workers live.
�It is phenomenal!� he said in Spanish of ministering to the migrant workers. �They are very humble people and they love God. They really appreciate that we are here.�
A small shed with a porch on the outskirts of the camp serves this small community as La Mission de la Virgen de Guadalupe, or Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission. Dec. 9, 2007, was a special Sunday for Mexican Catholics in the camp because they anticipated the Dec. 12 feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of Mexico. A banner of the Virgin was hung as Father del Olmo and volunteer Ismael Baca unloaded the items needed for services.
�I want to serve God because he has been good to me�
A busy, faith-filled afternoon was planned, and there were already a number of adults and children there to greet them. In addition to celebrating Mass, scheduled services included religious education for about 20 children, a rosary and a baptism.
�Many of us wouldn�t be able to go to church if Father Jose didn�t come to us,� said one woman attending services. �People work long hours and it�s not easy to get away.�
Father del Olmo visited with the children while setting up a small table that served as the altar upon which the eucharistic bread and wine were placed.
The migrant camp consists of a number of weathered trailers, which are home to workers who harvest tomatoes and cucumbers grown in the surrounding fields.
The harvest is done, and on this Sunday afternoon, a tractor worked the dry land nearby so dust blew in with the breeze. Noisy farm trucks added to the dust as they drove by the camp. Undaunted by these conditions, Father del Olmo cheerfully raised his voice to be heard above the truck and tractor traffic. He has been celebrating Mass here for three years.
Baca happily visited with worshippers while handing out handmade, donated rosaries and missals. The volunteer makes the weekly trip from his home in Tampa to Sarasota to accompany Father del Olmo to the camp. �I want to serve God because he has been good to me,� he said in Spanish as the rosary was prayed.
�Son Guadalupanos�
When the rosary was completed, it was time to welcome 6-month-old Edelfredo Sanchez Zepeda into the Catholic faith. The baby boy was dressed in a miniature white tuxedo, and his proud young parents in their Sunday best. Accompanied by Edelfredo�s padrinos, or godparents, they observed the solemn rite of baptism in the company of their small Catholic community.
�I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,� said Father del Olmo in Spanish as he poured water on the baby�s head three times. A plastic water bowl was used for the baptism and the baby received the sacrament outdoors in the soft light of the setting sun.
As the afternoon wore on, more and more migrant workers and their families arrived. By the time Mass began at sunset, there were close to 100 men, women and children gathered around the mission. Some sat in plastic chairs while others stood as Father del Olmo celebrated Mass in Spanish.
He spoke of their special connection to Our Lady of Guadalupe because many of the Catholics in this community are Mexicans or of Mexican descent.
�Son Guadalupanos,� he reminded them.
Our Lady of Guadalupe is the much-revered patroness of Mexico. More than 400 years ago, Mary appeared to Juan Diego, a poor Indian near Mexico City. She appeared as a dark-skinned, brown-eyed, black-haired Indian mother, and she spoke to Juan Diego in his own language, the language of the powerless, disenfranchised and despised Indians. �La Morenita� � the �Brown One,� as she is known � had a message for the local bishop that God�s church should be built out on the fringes of society, amid the poor and the downtrodden.
Faith in the fields of harvest
The Mass celebrated in the open air surrounded by fields was not without music. Prior to Mass, a pickup carrying an old amplifier and speakers in the cab was backed up to the shed so that the equipment could be plugged in to the power outlet in the mission. The driver and his passenger quickly set up microphones, pulled out a guitar and began singing Spanish hymns. They were soon joined by other choir members.
In addition to ministering to this remote Catholic community, Father del Olmo brings news of the diocese and the Vatican. He shared the exciting news of the upcoming visit to the United States by �El Papa� Pope Benedict XI.
Night had fallen by the time Mass was finished and the blessing was given.
Christmas lights twinkling on some trailers were visible as visitors looked back across the dark fields on the drive away from the mission. They illuminated a migrant camp where a small but vibrant Catholic community was planning another celebration in two days. They would sing Las Mananitas, the traditional early morning serenade for Our Lady of Guadalupe, on her feast day.

On December 2, 2013 NYAM welcomed Dr. John E. McDonough, one of the leading experts on health care reform in the United States, to deliver the 2013 Duncan Clark Lecture at NYAM on "The Affordable Care Act on the Verge of Final Success ... and a Nervous Breakdown."
Dr. McDonough's engaging and optimistic lecture drew from his extensive expertise in developing health care reform policy at the national level as well as from the perspective and experience of health care reform in Massachusetts. He discussed the ACA's current developments as well as the road ahead for states, repeatedly emphasizing the groundbreaking nature of the legislation.
"What a monumentally important day January 1, 2014 will be," Dr. McDonough said. "We passed the ACA on March 23, 2010 and arguably either that date or Jan 1, 2014 will be the most important date in the history of comprehensive health care reform."
He highlighted the changes that will "fundamentally reform the way health care works in the U.S., with "no opportunity to go back to the way things were before the ACA." These changes include fundamental insurance reform in all 50 states, the move to make medical underwriting for insurance and pre-existing conditions exclusion both illegal, and the elimination of maximum lifetime coverage limits are from all health care markets.
He described the ACA as a "monumental bridge" and "a landmark in U.S. health care and social reform, with the only two peers in history being Social Security, passed in 1935, and the creation of Medicare and Medicaid in 1966." He also highlighted its status as "the only example of comprehensive health care reform that was ever attempted and achieved and references quality, access, and class control at the same time."
"Health care reform is about our values – it has a core value," Dr. McDonough said. "The ACA has at its heart and soul a core value that says, 'We should not be the only advanced nation that allows our fellow citizens to suffer financial ruin because they or a family member gets sick.' And that is still the policy in the US going up until December 31, 2013. That will change on January 1."
View the full video of Dr. McDonough's talk.
View photos from the event.
John E. McDonough, DPH, MPA, is Professor of the Practice of Public Health and Director of the Center for Public Health Leadership
Department of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard School of Public Health. He served as a Senior Advisor on National Health Reform to the late Senator Edward Kennedy and the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, between 2008 and 2010. Dr. McDonough is the author of Inside National Health Reform – an essential guide to the Affordable Care Act and how it came to be. He also served as Executive Director of Health Care For All, Massachusetts' leading consumer health advocacy organization, where he played a key role in passage and implementation of the 2006 Massachusetts health reform law.
NYAM gratefully acknowledges the generous funding of the International Foundation for this lecture and thanks John D. Carrico, Secretary Treasurer, and William M. McCormack, MD, Trustee of the International Foundation for their support.

We have a 1/3 mi asphalt driveway. Overall, it's in decent shape, except for 10-15 really large cracks ranging from 1/4" wide to 4"+. We hired a company to fill these cracks and then the plan is to seal the entire driveway in the Spring. The company spent a lot of time blowing the cracks out so they're perfectly clean. Then they put in concrete (dry) and hot seal on top of it (my verbiage is probably off here). Some of the small cracks look pretty good. They came back and refilled some of the really large ones, but said that the tar-like material flows like lava and it's hard to get them full to the top. To us, it seems that the cracks probably needed more concrete and then the hot seal on top of it. I attached one pic, I have TONS more. We got our invoice today, $2800....... my call will be going out first thing Monday to inquire that they can't possibly be done based on the dip still there with these cracks. I am looking for opinions on how hard it is to fill cracks that large, and if our expectations are too high. Some of these cracks were 18' wide (width of the driveway) and roughly 2"-4" wide at parts (and 3-4" deep in some areas too). Thoughts??? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Another picture, this is on a slight slope, so most of the hot tar ended up at the end...but that left us with a LARGE crack still at the top. |
That looks like a mess, can you drive over it without getting it all over the place. Minister & I tried fixing the parking lot, looked lot like your place. Got some asphalt stuff in bags(kind of like concrete mix comes in. That didn't work well. Used tar & sand in smaller ones, little better. Then he mixed up in a small mixer a batch of cement & used a trowel & covered over the top with sand & tar. That lasted the longest but eventually several yrs later some of concrete pieces had worked their way up after breaking & we had some small holes plenty big enough for ladies heel to get caught in. Would like better solution! Also for filling in hole where asphalt seem to have gotten soft. Hope you get a good answer! |

The Portland cement concrete will not be successful for patching. No patching method will yield the results of all-new paving. The black liquid asphalt-based material can be used along with clean dry sand as a filler. I know of no better crack patching method. |

I'll add my birthday greeting but what more could be said. I agree with everyone here. Your the best!!! How come I'm the last to know??? Best wishes always Peg |
Laura, given that it's your birthday, I wanted to see if one of your beloved Plumie Protectors was there to give you a birthday greeting. Finally found the little guy a few minutes ago, hanging under an Aztec Gold's leaf. So even the critters love you! Happy Birthday from Plumie Protectors everywhere! |
Happy Birthday Laura!! Kasie |

Wow, late to the party again! I have to check out this forum more often! A very happy belated birthday wish to you, my friend! Thanks for your kindness, and for sharing your love for Plumeria with Frangipani newbies like me! Your birthday happens to be the same as my father's, and also is the anniversary date of my fiancee and I! All the best! Christopher |
I just love those pics of you and Bud, Laura. He looks incredible for being in his 90's! And those big trees...incredible! You're going to get a lot of use out of that chainsaw with your palms being as tall as they are now. I got a new set of hand-pruners for Mothers' Day and was as happy as could be! |
Happy belated birthday wishes, Laura! I am in jasper, Canada on vacation and just noticed this .. No plumeria's here...... Hope you had a wonderful birthday! |

The Butterfly Gold is coming along nicely!! What beauty!!!! So is Maui Sunset.. Love this one!! Kristopher!! LOL.. Great people here on this forum!!

We do a great job at that!! I hope you like you new babies.. ok, teenagers... well.. adults!! LOL.. They will do well for you!! enjoy!!! Hi Jen, I agree.. i love the pics of Bud working in his trees.. MY DH kept clicking away knowing i would love those pics.. He is one gentleman who i could listen to all night and not yawn once. He is fascinating to talk too and loves to share stories from the past as well as talk about plants, trees, other places to visit.. We had so much fun on our visit. I have a great pic of him and i inside his Californis Sally, but i don't post my mug on the forum. I also have one great pic of Bud, Bill and I and it is framed and hung in my house. Bud said i could post any pic of him as long as it was a good one.. He is so funny, but out of respect to Bill and since i don't like to post my pics, i keep it here in the house. LOL.. Sorry for the backside pics of me.. i wanted to show you Bud's smile when he brought down the cutting.. he was just as happy as i was. When we pulled away from his house, my DH said "what is wrong.." I hadn't realized that he had noticed.. but i teared up at that moment knowing what i had just done.. the experience of being at Buds..meeting Bill and John.. the whole day was so exciting and i was so happy.. DH still couldnt' figure it out.. I was full of "happy tears.." You and i are quite alike.. im sure you understand!!! ;-) Hi Khandi!! Thank you soooo much!! I have missed you!!! So you are up in Banff National park? LOVE that place!! Love Jasper too! Did you take the Icefield Parkway? We climbed the Athabasther (sp?) Glacier on that beautiful trip. I love ALberta!! Have a wonderful time.. what a perfect time of the year to visit!!! Take care, Laura |
Hi Laura, seems I'm late to the game as always but why not pile on a "Happy Belated Birthday!" Hey, it is always nice to extend a special occasion into a several day affair, right?? lol. Always a pleasure to see your posts here, and I owe a lot to you and the rest of the gardenweb community for getting me interested in gardening, tropicals and of course Plumeria. This is not just a place where people post random thoughts, but rather a place to learn and share, and you're obviously a big part of it. I was slaving away up in your neck of the woods last week, actually. I can confirm that it is just at hot and humid in Virginia Beach as it is in Tampa :) Not quite as wet though...some of my plants are beginning to protest! take care, |

I have learned from you as well.. we all learn from each other and i agree, this is a great forum!!! Talk about hot and Humid.. today it felt like a tropical rainforest. I could hardly breath, but im sure the trees are in heaven!!! Please send me an email next time you are here in VB. it would be wonderful to meet you and for you to come over and see the trees!!! We always love to share experiences.. Peg lives close to me too! Take care and thank you again. It means so much.!! Laura |

Geez I'm an awful plumeria friend :(. I can't even say belated Happy Birthday because I missed it by so much! Well I think you're special every day! Ha! XO |
Here's a cute joke you can play on a friend. I'll use Laura as an example. Her birthday is on the 25th, so I send her a BELATED birthday card, but I send it in time for her to receive it at least 2 days before her birthday. On the outside of the card, I write DO NOT OPEN UNTIL JUN 27, 2 days AFTER her birthday. Imagine your reaction ..... Al |
LOL good one Al :) |

Want To Know Your Secret Brand Building Weapon? Sshh, It's Your Employees.
Posted by Tracy Stokes on May 20, 2013
There's a lot of effort exerted by marketing leaders to turn customers into brand advocates. But their customers have a lot of brand choices and a lot of other things on their minds. What these marketers are overlooking is the potential brand advocates in their own backyard. Their employees. Employees are fundamentally connected to, thinking about, and representing your brand every day. They are often your biggest fans.
Indeed, our research shows that one of the biggest shifts of brand building in the 21st century is that — for leading brands — it is now a companywide effort. A unanimous 100% of marketing leaders surveyed by Forrester agreed that brand building requires all employees to be brand ambassadors. But the companies they lead are not yet living up to this aspiration. While many marketers' eyes light up at the prospect of tapping in to their employees' Twitter networks, just focusing on social is missing the point. Yes, social is a valuable tool to create conversation. But true employee brand advocacy requires chief marketing officers (CMOs) to go deeper. They need to make delivering a superior brand experience part of the enterprise culture. Brand advocacy can't be another task on someone's to-do list. Make brand building part of how employees do their job and guide them by the light of a clear brand North Star so that your powerful new army marches to the same drumbeat. Forrester's three-step framework guides the way:
- Excite with an inspiring brand experience. A PowerPoint presentation at the company meeting just won't cut it. Bring the brand to life for your employees. Starbucks invested a staggering $35 million to create an interactive brand lab to bring the brand experience to life for its frontline employees.
- Educate employees on the brand. Immerse old and new employees alike in the brand history and heritage so that they know where it comes from, what it stands for, and why customers love it. Show the brand through the eyes of the consumer, not just corporate milestones. And use video, photos, and 3D exhibits to bring it to life.
- Enroll them in the cause. Make the brand tangible to employees. Connect their jobs to the brand. For example, showcase employee stories that embody the brand.
To learn how to make employees your secret brand building weapon, check out my new report, "Build Your Army of Brand Advocates From Across The Enterprise" (client access required). How are you building your employee brand army?

Great way to look at the
Great way to look at the situation. An employee will always be a companies best brand advocate. Like you said, this becomes difficult when an organization is trying to hard to form a brand advocate externally. Another interesting dynamic in the situation has to do with the fact that a brand experience is not always where it needs to be. In this case, if a company offers a poor in-store or online brand experience, they will be hard pressed to find any brand advocates internally or externally. One way to circumvent this is to hire a market research company that conducts brand standards evaluations. One company that comes to mind is SQM (http://goo.gl/HqVpVM). They monitor adherence to company standards and gauge if a product is being displayed and sold in an effective matter. Although this just skims the surface of their services, it is definitely something to consider when trying to build brand advocates internally.

21.11.07 - By Matthew Hurley: When Jeff Lacy climbs into the ring on December 8th against Peter Manfredo on the undercard of Hatton Mayweather he will be attempting to do more than just defeat the man in front of him he will be trying to save his career. Despite only losing once in twenty-three professional bouts, that loss kicked off a painful downward spiral that included mental anguish and physical injuries that could very well have derailed the fighters career permanently. But Lacy insists that despite what hes gone through hes recovered in both capacities and is ready to get himself back into title contention. The downward spiral all began on March 4th, 2006 when a heavily media hyped Lacy took on Joe Calzaghe in a super middleweight unification bout in front of a highly partisan Calzaghe crowd at the M.E.N Arena in Manchester, England. Going into the fight Lacy was perceived to be a budding superstar and was instilled as the favorite. Twelve brutally one-sided rounds later he left the ring battered and disillusioned. Lacy later admitted that training camp hadnt gone well and that all the media attention had gotten to him before he even stepped into the ring. This, coupled with a fighter in Calzaghe who was determined to silence his own critics, led to a perfect display of boxing technique that relieved Lacy of his title. Lacy retreated to his home in Saint Petersburg, Florida to nurse his wounds and found himself wondering what had gone so terribly wrong. I was so emotional after that loss, he says. One minute everyone was praising me and the next I was yesterdays news. Ive since learned to understand and deal with those emotions a lot better than I did back then. Nine months later Lacy returned to the ring to take on Vitali Tsypko and before he could even get warmed up in the fight he tore his left rotator cuff in the second round. Lacy would go on to gut out a close, controversial majority decision victory and then once again he retreated. The injury led to surgery and a year long layoff. Despite the seriousness of the injured arm and the seemingly endless rehabilitation process the fighter is certain that this trough in his career will serve him well when he again climbs through the ropes. Ive been training hard for five months now and I feel good when I throw the left hook. I signed on with Golden Boy Promotions and Im ready to go. I feel I can do what I want to do in the ring and my fans are going to be happy. His opponent, Peter Manfredo, gained fame by coming up a bit short on the first Contender series. He too lost to Joe Calzaghe and finds himself on the comeback trail. Hes won two fights since that loss and has also undergone surgery on his left elbow for bone spurs. He remains, however, a good test for Lacy because no one really knows just how much Lacy has left. The injured shoulder has to be taken into account but its his psyche that will truly be tested. In Manfredo he wont be facing a fearsome puncher but he will be up against a speedy boxer with a ton of guts. Both fighters need a win but Lacys whole career seems to depend on it because of the heights he had once reached. Perhaps his talent was initially overblown by an enthusiastic press and fan base because of his exciting style but his fall from that perch was so sudden that it seemed to shake him to his very core. His resolve will most certainly be tested on December 8th and if he passes the test and leaves the ring unscathed hes right back in the thick of the super middleweight picture. If he loses there might not be much of a career left to salvage.

How Nintendo Could Win It All
Re:Some things that will help (245 comments)
You couldnt be more wrong.
1. DVD player -
Everyone has one. Noone cares if their videogame system can play dvds or not.
2. Push the online gaming. -
Less then 10% of videogame players play games online, and even then, do you really want to deal with the immature, smack-talking, swearing, "give me my chocolate milk, bitch!" crowd? Nintendo is focusing on people having fun, together in the house, as per the previews. It will probably have some online play, but the online component will likely be used more for downloading more games then actual online gaming.
3. Advertise, advertise, advertise. -
Nintendo's biggest push in this is a new mode of gameplay, something VERY difficult to advertise for. They walk a fine line between "That looks cool" and "That looks dumb." Their best bet is to actually get people playing it in stores and friends' homes. That'll be the real trick. Of course, commercials should exist, but their focus should be on getting the system in peoples' hands.

UK editions of my novels; launch on July 20 with China Mieville
I'm going to be celebrating all these UK launches at Clerkenwell Tales in London on July 20, in an event with China Mieville, chaired by English PEN's Robert Sharp. The event's set for 7PM and space is limited (though attendance is free). Email Clerkenwell Tales to RSVP. Eastern Standard Tribe in German — free Creative Commons downloadMy second novel Eastern Standard Tribe has been published in German by Heyne, under the title Upload. As with the German edition of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom (published as Download), they've released the German text under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike. Given that Heyne's a division of the mega-publisher Bertelsmann, this is pretty cool news -- especially considering that the CC release was their idea!
I did a recent interview about CC licensing and science fiction with the German net-show WatchBerlin, too. Update: There's also an interview with me from the German netcase NetzPolitik: Link Scholarly take on Eastern Standard TribeDr. Graham J. Murphy, a prof in the Cultural Studies and Department of English at Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario, has written a swell academic paper about my novel Eastern Standard Tribe. The essay, "Somatic Networks and Molecular Hacking in Eastern Standard Tribe," was originally published in Extrapolation Vol.48, Issue 1 (2007), from The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College. Graham and his publisher have given me permission to put a PDF of the article up, too! Eastern Standard Tribe is a podiobook — and banned in Boston!
Podiobooks are free audiobooks that are delivered to your podcast player in installments. Instead of getting a full ten hours of audio in one go, the story is sent to you in manageable chunks, on the schedule you set. The raw audio for this podiobook came from my podcast, but the Podiobooks people have taken my readings and cleaned them up, cut out the intros, and equalized the levels across all the installments. It sounds dynamite. The timing on this couldn't be better -- this is just in time for International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day, when Internet creators post free material for sharing and enjoying. What's more, this book also has the distinction of having been banned by the Mayor of Boston from Boston's free WiFi network (Boing Boing is also banned!) I'm especially proud of this, since part of the book is set in Boston. I'm lucky to have been censored by the best. (Thanks, Evo and David!) /shitlist comes to IRC, inspired by Eastern Standard TribeInspired by the /shitlist chat command in my novel Eastern Standard Tribe, Ian modified his IRC client to add similar functionality: Eastern Standard Tribe podcastHere's the first installment of the podcast of my second novel Eastern Standard Tribe, a novel of political intrigue among high-tech, sleep-deprived management consultants. This is my most ambitious podcasting project to date -- I figure it'll take 4-6 months to complete. Doonesbury on timezone tribes
(Thanks, Mike!) Roadcasting: Tech gimmick from EST coming trueMany people have written to me with the news of Roadcasting, a technology that is very similar to the gimmick in Eastern Standard Tribe wherein cars stuck in traffic form ad-hoc peer-to-peer networks, sharing music among themselves (in truth, this idea came from my pal and former business partner, John Henson). It's pretty cool to see stuff like this approaching reality, I tell you what. EST is finalist for Locus AwardHee-YAW! My second novel Eastern Standard Tribe, is a finalist for this year's Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. Last year, my first novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, won the Locus Award for Best First Novel. Locus Magazine is the leading trade mag for science fiction, and the Locus Poll -- from which the Locus Award nominees and winners are drawn -- is the field's popular award with the widest participation (wider even than the Hugos). The Locus Award winners will be announced this July 4th weekend, at Calgary's Westercon. Here's the whole list of this year's nominees (shockingly good company to be in, by the way): |
This book is just so funny, we have deadpan portrayals of physical disaster (fellow bad back sufferers will be wincing along with me at Art's disk problems), and broad satirical sweeps at, among many things, internet trolls, corporate life, mental health professionals, English policemen, interfering mothers and mock-Dickensean villains. Eastern Standard Tribe may be short but it is very sweet – a great rush; like slam-dunking a can of Jolt

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- A day after voters ousted the nation's incumbent political party, Sun Microsystems (JAVA) was rocked by another vote.
At the company's annual shareholder meeting Wednesday, two-thirds of Sun shareholders demanded a greater voice in setting pay packages for the company's top brass.
The 67% vote of shares in favor of the so-called "say on pay" proposal marked the highest level of support for such a measure at a large-cap company, according to the measure's sponsor, and underscored the dissatisfaction and loss of patience among Sun shareholders.
"We've reached a tipping point in the outrage toward extraordinary CEO pay unrelated to performance," said Rich Ferlauto, of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employee Pension Plans, which helped sponsor the measure.
The Santa Clara, Calif., computer maker has struggled to turn a profit for years, even as competitors such as IBM (IBM - Get Report) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ - Get Report) have thrived. Last week, Sun posted a $1.7 billion loss for its fiscal first quarter that included a writedown of all the goodwill value associated with its computer systems business. Sun's stock, which slipped 31 cents to $4.62 Wednesday, is trading at its lowest level in more than 10 years and is down 76% since the company implemented a reverse stock split last November that boosted the share price to around $20. A slew of investors gathered in Sun's corporate auditorium took turns at a microphone Wednesday to vent their frustration with the company, its management and its board: How can the company justify bonuses paid to any of Sun's executives? Why is Sun failing while its rivals continue to increase their revenue? What does the company's management have to say about the failed reverse stock split?Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Can't imagine Tea Clipper looking any better than your photo. I love the shape of Jude too. All are lovely. |
The flowers and the photos are all lovely, irisgirl. I don't know a number of them, but if I had free space in my yard, I'd be looking many of them up and considering them for my gardens. Just lovely, lovely, lovely! Kate |

Thanks Ladies. I was so excited to see ones I'd never seen before. Especially Windermere. But it got me thinking about the tall Austins whose blooms don't nod. Too bad our pictures are resized. Marilyn's buds were exquisite shading. I was just ga-ga over these colors. Even in the midday sun . |
Beautiful pics! Look at all those buds on WINDERMERE! |
Beautiful blooms! I especially love Jude the Obscure. The most fragrant rose of all time! |
Loe all your soft creamy colors! |

Preheat oven to 350°F. Trim beets and wrap separately in foil; crimp edges. Roast on a rimmed baking sheet until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Cut a thick slice off top and bottom of each orange. Use a sharp knife to cut away peel and pith from fruit, slicing from top to bottom. Working over a bowl to catch juices, cut between membranes and remove orange segments. Drain on paper towels. Reserve juices.
Cut fennel bulbs into quarters, remove core and pull apart layers. Thinly slice each layer and transfer to bowl of collected orange juice; toss.
Remove beets from oven and carefully pull open foil. (Be careful: Hot steam will escape.) When cool enough to handle, hold under cold running water and rub off skins. Halve beets; cut each half into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

Preheat broiler to high and arrange rack 6 inches from heat source. Remove meat from marinade and pat dry; discard marinade. Broil on a broiling pan for 7 minutes. Turn meat over and broil 5 to 7 minutes longer. To check for doneness, test with the tip of a sharp knife. If juices run red, broil 1 or 2 minutes longer, until an instant-read thermometer reads 140°F (for medium-rare). Let steak rest on a cutting surface for 10 minutes. Working against the grain, cut into thin slices with a sharp knife. Serve with horseradish sauce on side.

There is, and has only ever been, one true obstacle to peace between Israel and the Palestinians and that is the Palastinian's adamant refusal to recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state.
Israel has made peace offers and overtures to the Palestinians ad nauseum and in return has never received anything but violence and violent rhetoric and further calls for its ultimate destruction.
So adament are the Palestinians in their refusal to make peace with Israel, that now they are asking the UN to give them a state, without requiring them to come to any peace agreement with Israel, the very idea of which seems to be abhorrent to them. They are, in effect, asking the UN to establish a new state which will be entirely dedicated to the destruction of a different, long-standing, member state of the UN.
