I am Alfred F. Johnston. I may also be known as Captain America. My best friend Toris, or Buckey, joined the military. I also want to join the military. But I keep being turned down for specific reasons (To weak, scrawy, and health conditions). So after being declined one day, I went to the movies by myself.
"War continues to rabid Europe and Asia." I listened to the announcer on the movie speak. The movie was in black and white and showed soldiers in the war. "Help is on the way! Every able bodied young man is lining up to serve his country."
I watched as I listened to the patriotic music play in the background, and a young boy was throwing scrap metal around. "Even little Timmy is doing his part. Collecting scrap metal. Nice work, Timmy!"
"Who cares?!" Some loud mouth down on the front row shouted. "Play the movie already!" "Hey! Wanna show some respect?" I asked the man formally.
"Meanwhile over seas, our brave boys are showing the Axis Powers that the price of freedom is never too high."
"Lets go! Get on with it!" The loud mouth shouted again. "Hey! Just start the cartoon!" He held out the 'oon' in cartoon. I leanded forward, "Hey! Wanna shut up!" I snapped on the guy. Today had not been a good day, and I didn't need this guy messing it up.
"Together with the Allied forces we'll face any threat no matter the size." As the movie announcer talked, the loud mouth got up and turned to look at me. He was a big guy. "Lets take this outside, Strech." The guy then dragged me outside into an alley next to theather.
The loud mouth threw me into a corner with metal trashcans. I struggled to me my feet and the guy punched me square in the face. The punch sent me back and into the corner again. But I scrambled to my feet again, this time I held a garbagecan lid up to protect myself. But this guy, this bully, ripped my 'shield' away and punched me square in the face again. I fell back into my corner. But instead of staying down like what some tiny men like me would do. I got right back up. Even though my jaw and shoulder hurt like crazy, I just rolled off.
"You just don't know when to give up. Do ya strech?" I sighed. "I can do this all day, Bully." I then got in a fighting position and went to punch him. Sadly for me, he blocked. And delivered another punch square in the face. I fell to ground. My body hit the ground but face hit the trashcan. "Hey!" A fimiliar voice rang through the alley. I knew that voice. It was Buckey. "Pick on someone your own size." Buceky spat. The bully threw a punch at Buckey, but missed. So Buckey, threw back a punch and hit him square in the face. Buckey kicked his butt out of the alley.
I looked at Buckey. He was dressed in his brown military outfit, and his hat was cocked to the side slightly. He walked over to me, "Sometimes I think you like getting beat up, Alfred." I got up and rubbed my forehead, which was now throbbing. I dropped my declined military papers at somepoint when I was getting beat up. Buckey picked up my papers, "Whats this?" He read it. "Oh, so your from Paramus now? You know its illegal to lie on your resume form, Alfred." He tapped the paper. "And seriously, Jersey?" He scolded me.
I sighed. "You get your orders?" I tried changing the subject. He grinned. "One o' seventh. Sergeant Toris Barners will be shipping out to England, tomorrow." I looked down. "I should be going..." I muttered and brushed off some dirt from my jacket. Buckey chuckled. "C'mon man. Its my last night! We gotta get you cleaned up." I glanced around. "Why? Where are we going?" "The Future." He grinned. I knew what he was talking about. He was talking about the world fair or to be technical, the World Exposition of Tomorrow. "So I now why we're going out. But why do have to look nice, Buckey?" Buckey chuckled and grinned. "Cause I got us dates, Little Buddy." I became nervous, what if the girls wanted to dance while we were there? I can't dance. I have two left feet! What if I made a fool of myself? I wouldn't be able to stand it because i'd be so embarressed. Buckey chuckled. "It'll be alright, Little Buddy. Relax."

Totally disagree with the previous reviewer. I found the plot moved quickly and I was really taken along. I will be really interested in a sequel.
disjointed, unclear the purpose, no good ending.
I wouldn't recommend it. I have enjoyed other books from this author - I would recommend Red Pho..Show More »
I was hoping for an updated version of Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising. That book was gripping all the way. This one plods and drags endlessly.

A Week by the Lake (Addendum added 7/19----page 43...........)
I fell in love with a lake when I was 11.
We had moved to Maine from the Jersey shore where I had spent my life being tumbled by the sea, feeling the burn of the hot sand on my feet as I ran across it to get to the waters edge, having my bathing suit weighted down by the grit that had accumulated there, feeling the particles in my hair, my eyes, my mouth. It followed us home. Sand everywhere. It was the price of going to the beach. I did love the ocean and the boardwalk; the smells, the rides, the games, the birch beer, the pizza and the saltwater taffy. My best friends family owned the old carousel in Asbury Park. I loved riding the horses around and around trying to reach the golden ring. My favorite horse was a white gilded beauty, with pastel saddle and markings and I could ride it as many times as I wanted, for free. I loved going under the boardwalk in the shade and spying on the big kids, who were under there necking, usually. I thought the entire universe lived by the sea. I knew of no other existence until my parents decided to get away from it all. They saw an ad in the Times for a farm in Maine; 200 acres, stone walls, a farm pond, a quaint farmhouse, and outbuildings that sat on top of Foss Hill. They bought it. $27,000. With that, the ocean, our private school, my dads antique MG, and our suburban lifestyle were gone. We became Maniacs, as Mainers are called, and lived on Foss Hill for a year or so, until my parents fell in love with THE HOUSE. A huge sprawling farmhouse with a back lawn that stretched down to a picturesque lake. Once they set their eyes on it, they had to have it, and thus, we moved one more time. From age 12 to just last week, I have loved my parents home on the lake. They are up on a hill, and down by the lake there is a boathouse. They have steps leading to a dock, And the lake is a clean, clear giant basin for fisherman, wildlife and weekenders, and a few of us lucky enough to live, or know someone who lives, right on it. Seems silly that we would want to spend our vacation at a lake then, given that we have access to my folks lake spot any time we want. But we do, because there is nothing like going away. Few responsibilities, nothing to fix, no projects looming in your conscience. You know what I mean, right? Hard to relax at home, as there is always something you should do .. Several years ago, I convinced the in-laws, whom we vacation with several times a year, to give up the Long Island Beach house on Fire Island, where the mosquitos swarmed so ferociously, that we had to cover the kids with towels and run pulling them in wagons, across the planks to the beach. The ocean waves were so big and cold, that even the adults had a hard time popping in for a swim. It was a hard sell, as they only knew the beach. Everyone is enrooted in tradition, and what is familiar. Change is so hard, isnt it? But I set forth the bennies of a lakeside vacation. No sand or salt, no big waves. I sold them the image of our ski boat zipping around to get ice cream, or stopping at the lakeside park, or the many coves, and of tubing and water skiing and of no sand, and no clean up, and of children of all ages frolicking in the pure, clear lakewater. I worked for several months to try to get them to just break their tradition for this one time. I was quite certain if they tried it once, we would get to go back. Me writing this travel tale on the porch of the main lodge They were good sports, and appreciated the fact that the beach was hard with our three little ones, and allowed me to research a new spot to try. I found the quintessential Maine lake compound in Rangeley, a wild, but trendy, summer lake retreat. Rustic. Pure. Devastatingly beautiful. The New York Times wrote about this region in the Escape section on Friday, July 7, 2006, just yesterday. Lakes Cupsuptic, Mooselookmeguntic, Aziscohos. These are a few of the many fantastic lakes that surround Rangeley. Quick, get up here before the rest of the world now finds it . The compound I found has a main lodge with two woodstoves and a huge porch, surrounded by three bunkhouses all with their own stoves and bathrooms. The place can sleep 16. We are only 10. There are cedar and pines surrounding the spread. It sits hugging the northern shore, looking south and west and somewhat east. Bald Mountain looms across the lake. There are no other cabins within eye or earshot. It is serene. It is peaceful. It is the closest thing to utter perfection as rustic lakeside living can offer. We would own it if we had the million or more bucks it would take to buy it, and if it were for sale. But we dont have that kind of money, and the compound has been in the same family since the 20s. This year was our third season here. Everyone was looking forward to it, even Grammy J who doesnt particularly love the rustic lifestyle. We bring our ski boat up, and it sits at the dock along with the 3 kayaks, sailing dingy, 2 canoes, and aluminum skiff that come with the weeklong rental. Every boat gets used during the week. Our kids, all three of them are astonishingly adept at maneuvering the kayaks. I usually bring a dog along with me. We have 3, and they all love to get out on the water. On this particular night, my daughter and I were out at sunset. Last year, we kayaked at midnight under the full moon, all the way to Oquossoc, a special little town at the west end of the lake. This year the moon only gave us half its light, but that was still plenty. The wind blew briskly most days. It was perfect sailing weather, and I went out alone, teetering perilously close to capsizing in the gusts. It was exhilarating and stunningly spectacular and peaceful all at once. This lake is entirely surrounded by mountains. It is reminiscent of the lake region of northern Italy and southern Switzerland. But the architecture is very different. Some people do speak a different language here. French. So it does have a slightly different feel than other lake regions of Maine. It is very close to the Canadian border. But it is not as chic as its European counterparts. Tubing behind the Stingray. We arrived at noon on July 1st in the pouring rain. It was raw, windy and thundering. We lit the fire to dry out the cabins, and played board games and the kids sat staring at the flames for hours. Our in-laws arrived in the evening bearing lobsters for dinner. DJ made me my cocktail of choice, a Tangeray and Tonic, lots of ice, extra lime. Sky learned to like lobster this year. Only little Jack is a hold out at this point. I drank a few too many G & Ts and there was a little spinnage in the cabin at the end of the night. As I previously reported, no frickyzzubbage occurred, thankfully. If you do not understand this reference, please use your imagination as to what might occur when one partakes of too many cocktails. We awoke the next day to thunder and lightening at 7 am . My head hurt. The kids were raring to go, only it was pouring. My MIL was distressed by the weather. Cant say I blamed her, but we have been enduring rain for the past three months, so my expectation was that it would continue through our vacation. We were prepared for it. It was damp and cold. But mercifully, the clouds broke and the sun shone by the afternoon, and the water sports began. This was the first vacation where the kids required minimal adult entertainment and supervision. They leapt off the dock and swam in the chilly lake. They caught minnows and tadpoles, and searched for the elusive crawfish. They marveled at the merganser with her 16 chicks paddling past and the loons. We all were mesmerized by the sound of the loons. Have you ever heard one? It is haunting and nearly intoxicating, that sound .. We took the ski boat out cruising and tubing. Jackson and Carson seated in the bow of the skiboat, a Stingray. Fast and Furious! One morning we set out with three cocker spaniels and three kids in a canoe to the beaver dam to return a borrowed lobster pot from a neighbor around the point. Someone kayaked daily to Oquossoc for ice and the New York Times. Sure one could drive, but kayaking for the morning paper is just more in keeping with how it is for us up here. The crew also hiked up Bald Mountain. This 2 ½ hour hike afforded a 360 degree view of the lakes and mountains which spans for miles. It was spectacular. Each night, the kids would play some games with the adults, and watch a flick. The adults would sit on the porch, drinking cocktails, reading, batting the breeze and listening to the loons. Occasionally a big splash could be heard in the distance. This was the sound of the beavers leaping into the water, with freshly cut limbs in their mouths. They would then paddle east with their sticks to add to the giant dam, one mile down the lake. There were several events that put a tiny damper in the week. The first being that the seasonal black flies were still out. These little biting gnats dined on the kiddies and Grammy J. Unfortunately Grammy J had an allergic reaction and awoke on day two looking like a boxer in the losing corner. Her eyes were practically swelled shut, her cheeks were puffy, and her arms and legs had ballooned too. Little Jack would see her, stop in his tracks, turn around and run away. He was terrified of her and poor Grammy was stuck inside for most of the stay. Little Jack, known affectionately as Stitch 626 The second event occurred on day two, just as the sun came out. I went on the dock to help catch the lines for the incoming ski boat, and as I reached for the line, our digital camera fell out of my pocket and sunk to the bottom of the lake. Kaput! Flash! Gone .well, not completely. My nephew heroically retrieved it from the bottom, but it has not worked since. Thus we are limited in our pictures this trip. Capturing our weeklong vacation was further derailed by the fact that our camcorder was left behind at home as well. So we did more living than photographing this trip ..which is not necessarily a bad thing. This pint sized 6 year old just lost her two front teeth and Sky can beat anyone in a kayak race, including the adults. She is strong and competetive. Mama is proud... We happened to be here for the July 4th celebration, which in Maine is almost always celebrated on the 3rd of July . Like many communities, this included fireworks. We had a traditional cookout and set off near dusk in our ski boat; all ten of us. It was a calm, crisp night. The skeeters were buzzing at the dock, and I wondered if we would make it through the fireworks ..As we pulled away from the dock, there were boats coming from all directions. This is a very large lake, and it is unusual to ever see more than just a few boats at a time. So this was quite a spectacle to see so many boats all piloting to the head of the lake. The children were all excited to be going out at dark, and peered from beneath their hooded sweatshirts and behind their blankets, smiling broadly at their luck of escaping bedtime and getting an extra boat ride in at sunset. As we approached the downtown at the east end of the lake, a huge flotilla of vessels was already anchored. There were pontoons with barbeques fired up, rubber zodiacs flitting around, bass fishing boats, clunkers that looked like they might sink any moment, lots of ski boats, and many boats were decked out in Hawaiian themes, coming from the Oquossoc parade. Music blared from speakers, sparklers ignited, kids were jumping off the sides into the chilly lake, ducks meandered past. Every now and then, a burst of someones private stash of fireworks would be sent soaring up into the sky, making everyone think this was the official start. Several boats rafted up together, and that crew broke into a hearty but terribly off tuned rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. They mixed up the lyrics, but got through it. Our kids joined in. When the loud clan completed their performance, everyone around honked their horns with enthusiasm; a jubulient, collective thumbs up. The anticipation of the kids grew, as the redness of the sunset got dimmer. They shifted spots on the boat, vying for the best spot to view the eagerly anticipated spectacle. Everyone guessed at the official start time. 9:02. 9:07, 9:11 ..the final guess was 9:31. The actual first burst of light shot off at 9:27. The thunderous booms of the fireworks were magnified by the echoes of the sounds hitting the panoramic mountains surrounding the lake. It was magnificent. The temperature was perfect. Those skeeters at the dock never found us. And for about 40 minutes we all sat with our eyes to the sky taking in the brilliant colors and hearing the giant booms that were both awesome and exhilarating. The grand finale did not disappoint and nearly every boat, and there were hundreds and hundreds of them, sounded their horns with approval for several minutes at the end. And soon, we were pulling up the anchor and heading back to our cabins. It was nothing short of a fantastic unofficial parade. Red, green and white lights were everywhere, all up and down the lake. In the black of night, our boat was zooming amongst and sometimes past the many other vessels heading home, following the dark shoreline. It was a bumpy ride due to the wakes made by all of the boats on the lake that night. On our boat, there were huge smiles on everyones faces. It felt like something rare and special that we had been a part of. We all felt terribly happy and alive that night, the big night on the lake, in the middle of the mountains in the north woods on the 4th of July, which was actually the 3rd of July, but no matter. Looking west towards Oquossoc at sunset on our last night

As always, you have the ability to place me on the lake, in the boat, watching the fireworks and listening to a rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Only I wasn't really there. The written word paints the most beautiful pictures. Thanks for the glimpse

A special thanks to Dan Murphy, whom I know was frustrated a few days ago with the threads here. Dan, we share something. My kids are adopted too. Thank you again, for the kind words folks. Sometimes the best vacations are the ones that are the simplest. I love Disney. I am going thrice in one year this year. But, the calm, quiet simplicity of nature is restorative and very very special. I highly recommend it. And, there are lakeside cabins all over that are actually very reasonable by the week, sometimes starting at under $500 weekly.

Wow horsegirl - you are truly amazing!! What a gift of writing you have. My imagination was wrapped around the wonderful week you had in Maine. It was as if I was there. I felt bad for Grammys allergic reaction and felt the breeze and water spray as the kids tubed behind the boat!
Thank you for giving me the sense of reality. I live on a beautiful lake here in Vermont. With life passing me by everyday you tend to forget the true things that matter. Reading your thread is what life is like for me. Funny thing is that we were in Maine last week as well. However we were in Southern Maine visiting the ocean since we live on the lake. After a week of running around to the beach, hotel pool, shopping, eating tons of seafood my DH and I returned home to say "we should have just stayed home and enjoyed the lake" I would love more info. on where you stayed. Can anyone rent the cabin you were in? If so, please post or PM me the info. Thanks again, wonderful thread!!! |

I actually have tears in my eyes. You've brought me back in time.
Different lake, very similar memories. From the summer before I turned 1 until the summer I was 11, my parents, brothers and I, along with my aunt, uncle and cousins on my Dad's side, my Mom's cousin and her family and always at least 3 other families that were friends of one or all of the above families, we all drove from NJ and Long Island to the Adirondack Mountains in upstate NY for a week at the lake. Rustic cabins, canoe races, campfires, the camp store with the squeaky door slamming, softball games every night-kids at 6, adults at 8- sailing, long afternoons swimming in the lake, taking the power boat down the Schroon River to the pizza place The Narrows, a car stopping in front of the cabin with someone yelling for us kids to "get in, we're going to Dairy Queen!" going to sleep to the sound of all our parents staying up late playing cards. Now my aunt is gone, my mom's cousin Ruthie is gone, my Mom is gone(cancer all of them), I no longer talk to my cousins or my father, but for a long time we all had one week of bliss ever year. I had a very happy childhood and our one week of vacation at Wakonda every year is always the first thing I think of when I think of my very best childhood memories. Thanks for bringing it all back for me. You're a wonderful writer and the picture of you and your daughter at sunset is just beautiful!

Avocado is a treasure trove of nutrients, yet many people are unsure of how to incorporate it in their diet. Most often, we find people making milkshakes and puddings over and over again – because of the unusual texture of avocadoes – till the family gets oh-so-bored of it! In this Avocado Salad, this vitamin E rich ingredient is innovatively tossed into a salad with crunchy veggies and a zinc-filled honey dressing. You will love this wonderful salad, and the shiny hair it will give you!

Management Accounting and Control: Lessons for and from the World's Tiniest Businesses By Srikant M. Datar, Marc J. Epstein, and Kristi Yuthas Microfinance has been an important method for helping individuals in developing countries gain access to financial services. Yet experience has shown that access to capital isn't enough to guarantee success. Many microentrepreneurs lack the same skills that management accountants rely on every day. Helping them learn these basic concepts can help ensure microfinancing efforts have an even greater positive impact.
Cost Leadership for the Current Challenge By Jonathan B. Schiff, CMA, and Allen I. Schiff Finance and accounting professionals must adapt to meet the needs of the challenging economic landscape. By refocusing their efforts toward areas where their skills are needed most, accountants can become cost leaders within their organizations, helping to instill a strong commitment to low costs, customer focus, and process improvement that will lead to successful growth initiatives even in difficult financial times.
What's Ahead for Global Standards? By Ramona Dzinkowski BSir David Tweedie, chairman of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), discusses the progress in global adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as well as the impact the recent economic crisis has had on the pace of adoption, the role that accounting can play in restoring economic growth, and the state of convergence within the United States, Asia, and other major markets.
Achieving Top Quality By Larry Weinstein Classifying cash flows as operating, investing, or financing is usually straightforward, although the sorting of some items has been controversial. Modeling the statement of cash flows after the income statement is a logical approach, the authors contend, and should enhance the statement of cash flow's usefulness by providing greater consistency between the two financial statements.

I've looked at every cake in the galleries of poker chips and stacked poker chips but I still have questions! I have a groom's cake in two weeks; he showed me a pic on his phone of a stacked chip cake but I can't get that actual picture. I know he wants all the colors and 4 or 5 chips in the stack. The cake is to be amaretto w/amaretto buttercream. NOW: (1) All the impressive cakes in the galleries must be fondant to look so good. They do not want fondant. How can I do it with BC? I might get by w/fondant accents. (2) A couple of the cakes are "spread out" rather than stacked chips. (Can't figure out how to add gallery photo here to show...) I think they would love that - but how do you lay them out like that without having them cave in or slip? Thanks so much, CC friends! You always come throough with great answers! PAT

A 57-year-old man has been convicted of setting fire to a house across a street from his in Mason City.
On Monday Roger Kuck entered an Alford plea to an arson charge.
An Alford plea means Kuck doesn't admit to the crime but does acknowledge prosecutors likely can prove the charge. A burglary charge was dropped in exchange for Kuck's plea.
The charges stemmed from a fire set Oct. 30 last year at a vacant house near Kuck's home.

Re: We don't need no more trouble or war on the ESB British Boxing Forum.
I see that the **** bandito crew are out in force again, the same crew who think they run the place, pleading for me to get banned for doing nout wrong, accusing me of being somebody else, without any evidence, EVEN after I have asked for your wonderful moderators to run the check....so it puts it to bed.
But none of you have got that far, and probably won't, because you need me, if this wasn't the case, you wouldn't keep coming back throwing threads upside down. But you do, you do keep coming back, with the same old **** calling all your girlfriends to jump on board. This thread was meant to call for peace and respek on the board, we don't need it taken down again. Why can't you just put your hate and abuse to one side, and love me....like I love you? That's all I ask, do onto others as you would have done onto you and just be nice to each other. There is no need for the trouble or the abuse, either way. I'm willing to call a truce, I'm willing to admit, I've done wrong (when I haven't) so we can just come together and be friendly. I don't want this **** anymore, I don't need it children....your forcing me to stay on the forum for even longer. I was thinking earlier WHY the forum was taken down, and I've got a feeling PK, its got something to do with you. Accusing Ricky Hatton of steroid abuse on his comeback. Maybe? |

Re: We don't need no more trouble or war on the ESB British Boxing Forum.
Proves my point yet again, here again, CANNOT keep away can you!?!
Notice how I didn't come to your thread? But you come to mine? And you talk about ignoring me..... Ha! You call me a troll!?! Absolutely absurd outrageous statement, especially when you can't keep away honey pie. You and your **** bandito crew are the biggest trolls out on here, trying to troll the "troll"....trying to play the game, trying to drive me out. Ain't gonna happen, the more you come and follow, the more you will fuel my fire, I shall remain for many years to come. I'm not a troll, or an alt account, nor have I been here before. So keep believing in your paranoid fantasies. Your living a lie, whereas I'm living the truth. And you can't stand it, you cant keep away, your like flys round ****, only this aint ****, its a beautiful cake. I'm proven right, time and time again, my predictions are flawless, and my opinion is always bang on the money, I don't pull no punches, I say it how it is. If you can't handle it, why don't you take your own advice, and ban yourself/leave? Or better still, shut up, keep yourself to yourself, do what you talk, ignore me, and LIVELY UP YOURSELF!!

Myself I love spicy food and found this dish delicious. Especially with a bit of hot sauce and some jalapeño peppers.Thank you soooooo much Paula. I will be making this again soon."
"Thank you very much for this recipe. I made three batches of the recipe and experimented with the results. The best was to use 1 1/4 cups of sugar and as the other comments have said boil for 15 min. The longer you boil though the less the yield since more sticks to the coffee grounds when you strain.

Lacy, who owns a used bookshop, is having trouble with her inventory system. she needs to be able to easily list a large quantity of books on the internet, in a place where people are shopping for used books and likely to buy them. which means her two options are, really, ABE and Amazon. right? or are there other options? and as an indie bookstore owner, how squicky (if at all) should she feel about using Amazon/AMZ-related services? these are not rhetorical questions. thoughts? tips? tricks?

Published 9 April 2013 Uncategorized 1 CommentTags: advice from a bookseller, authors, for what that's worth, wp
this made me sigh heavily, and i thought maybe it was worth addressing. i'll skip the obvious part about "basic human right" and go straight to why a local bookshop can't possibly stock all local authors:
- there may literally not be enough space! many local shops are small, and have to make every single book on their shelves count.
- making every book count means making sure that they are stocking topics and authors that appeal to their clientele. while you are, of course, very interested in your book, that doesn't necessarily mean that your local bookshop's average customer is.
- which leads me to, trusting local buyers. no bookstore DOESN'T want to make money. no bookstore in the world is intentionally turning down a potential bestseller, be it local or national. every bookstore in the world wants to stock awesome books. they read sales reports, they read trades, they labor over catalogs, they stay up at night worrying about their bottom line. they read EVERYTHING THEY CAN. i have worked for five of them, believe me — this is absolutely true.
so if your local passes on your book, it's because they genuinely believe that that book will not work for their shop. stocking a book just to stock it means that the bookstore makes less money, the book doesn't move, and then everyone is sad except for that initial five minutes in which the author is happy to see it on the shelf. that's not a recipe for success, that's a recipe for frustration.
also frustrating: facing the intense indignation of local authors when you try to explain to them why you won't be stocking their book.
bookrageous: What We're Reading This Week! Jenn says: This is…
Published 26 February 2013 Uncategorized 1 CommentTags: in which i am reading A WHOLE LOT OF BOOKS, wp
What We're Reading This Week!
Jenn says: This is the Winter Institute edition, which means it has a lot of books in it because I knew I was going to be meeting certain authors and therefore read between 50 and 100 pages of as many of their books as I could. I didn't get everyone, of course, BECAUSE THAT IS UNPOSSIBLE, but I did pretty well. Quickfire notes:
- Rontel, Sam Pink: He was not at Winter Institute actually, this is Electric Literature's first ebook! If you don't know Electric Literature, you are missing out as a reader — their taste is exquisite and I've discovered several new favorite authors through them. They're now an ebook publishers as well, CONGRATS YOU GUYS. Reading this book is so much like having a conversation with a certain person I know that it's a little unnerving.
- A Marker to Measure Drift, Alexander Maksik: A novel about a female Liberian refugee wandering homeless on the island of Santorini. Incredibly vivid and visceral, but with this very dreamlike quality. We had a great conversation about race, gender, and voice, and Binyavanga Wainaina's essay How To Write About Africa.
- The Blood of Heaven, Kent Wascom: I spent all weekend describing this to people as True Grit meets The Devil All the Time (which obviously equals, I LOVE IT). I ran it by Wascom and he did not mind, so I feel safe in saying it to y'all!
- A Constellation of Vital Phenomena, Anthony Marra: Takes place in post-Soviet Chechnya; a man's neighbor is taken away by soldiers, and he and his neighbor's young daughter seek refuge in a nearby hospital where they're put to work by the gloriously cranky sole doctor left in town. I only got a little way into this one but what I read was impressive — this is going to be a big one.
- Equilateral, Ken Kalfus: The plot on this one is CRAZY PANTS in the best possible way. A scientist in the late 1800s hatches a plan to get the attention of the (presumably hyper-intelligent) inhabitants of Mars that consists of building a giant, visible-from-space equilateral triangle in the Sahara and then LIGHTING IT ON FIRE. I kid you not. (19th century astronomers were, in fact, obsessed with Mars!) I started it on the plane home and the book reads a bit like my favorite fiction from that time period — a bit stuffy, a bit tongue-in-cheek. There's also a really epic ping-pong scene. If you are not sold on this book yet, we probably can't be friends.
- Unremembered, Jessica Brody: Jessica Brody turns out to have almost exactly the same taste as me (we obsessed together about Emma Donoghue's Room for a good twenty minutes) and has written a new YA novel that explores weird science and time travel and deeply philosophical questions and also conspiracies and young love and the perils of being a teenager and I'm not done yet and don't want to spoil anything for you in the meantime so I will just leave that there. I will probably need to go back and read all of her other books, too.
in one of the Winter Institute small group sessions, we got talking about fixed pricing vs the wholesale model, and i can't stop wondering: what would happen to books if they didn't have a price printed on the cover?
Published 26 February 2013 Uncategorized 1 CommentTags: i have them, omg books, publishing, questions
what would happen if publishers didn't set the prices? what would happen if, instead of participating (or not) in the discount wars, bookstores could set their own book prices? SERIOUSLY, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?
highlights of Winter Institute 8:
Published 26 February 2013 Uncategorized Leave a CommentTags: life of a bookseller, winter institute, wp
- finally meeting Kenny Coble who pretty much won the conference. to meet him is to lurve him
- seeing ALL MY BOOKSELLER FRIENDS from ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
- realizing this was my fifth Institute, which explains why i couldn't go two feet without finding someone to hug/high-five/exclaim "oh my god your hair is different!" at
- having a weather-induced anxiety attack that resulted in my spending half the Author Reception on the phone with American Airlines in order to change flights and avoid the incoming storm (jk, that was NOT A HIGHLIGHT)
- the many happy birthday wishes (and cupcakes)
- conversing with Sherman Alexie and Kent Wascom about literary brawls
- seeing all the lovely authors and in particular meeting Anthony Marra and Alex George and Jessica Brody and Ru Freeman and Morris Collins and Kent Wascom, and remeeting Alexander Maksik and Sherman Alexie, and half-meeting Matt Bell whose book comes highly recommended
- the many many pages of notes i have to bring back to my coworkers. IDEAS, I HAVE SO MANY.
finished between March and December: 102 books (i had a spreadsheet on my phone for January – March, and when i lost my phone i lost the sheet even though theoretically it was backed up in the cloud, blurgh)
genre distribution*, 2011 v 2012: pretty much the same except i read less romance and nonfiction, and more sff and ya in 2012 (this is the influence ofmolly, without a doubt)
gender distribution, 2011 v 2012: still fairly even!
gender w/in genres, 2011 v 2012: everything is basically same with the notable exception of ya. in 2011, i didn't finish a single novel in the genre by a dude. in 2012, split right down the middle. it wasn't on purpose, but i'm glad to see it. there are some good dude-written ya books out there!
goals for 2013: i don't usually make these but i REALLY want to add a "country of origin" column that is not just split between the US and the UK, so i hereby announce i am going to attempt to read "abroad" for next year.
addendum: this doesn't count picture books, because i tend to read those on my lunch break and then forget to note them in my spreadsheet, but i did read some picture books this year. see my Bookrageous Top Ten for proof. last year i counted graphic novels/comics/manga as their own category, but i didn't this year, they just ended up in their larger genre. no, i don't have a good reason for this. yes, i know it's not 2013 yet, but i am basically only going to have time to finish the two books i'm reading right now before New Year's (SECRET HISTORY and MOBY-DICK, in case you're wondering) so i figured it was good to go. here is 2011, in case you want to compare.
- fic = fiction
- nonfic = nonfiction
- sff = science fiction/fantasy
- ya = young adult
- if you don't know middle-reader, it's books for ages 8 – 12 (ish)
hey, internet, can we talk for a minute? about Scott Pilgrim? because i feel like i'm missing something here.
let me see if i've got this. lots of folks i know are fans. of the series, and the movie. both of which have some nifty video game elements involved, and some fun simultaneous potshots at/celebrations of garage bands. and we like Scott Pilgrim, the character. right?
that last bit is where i'm getting stuck. i just read the first volume. and, yeah. Scott is a 23 year old. without a job. in a band. pseudo-dating a 17 year old highschooler, who is YOUNGER THAN HIS YOUNGER SISTER. and now two-timing said highschooler with an emotionally scarred, on-the-rebound, woman his age.
i kind of hate Scott Pilgrim. someone please tell me what i'm missing.

.- The president of Spain's House of Representatives, Jose Bono, a self-described Catholic socialist, criticized the country's bishops this week for being "judges" and "professors of dogma," following their statement that politicians who support abortion cannot receive Communion.
In an interview with the left-wing magazine "Vida Nueva," Bono said, "The opinions of those who would rather see me outside the Church, excommunicated, condemned as a heretic or militant atheist are of no interest to me." The Spanish bishops should act "more like shepherds and less like judges and professors of dogma," he said.
"It would be dangerous for the Spanish Church to make someone who doesn't share the opinions of a certain cardinal or bishop - no matter how much power they have - feel uncomfortable or to point fingers at them," Bono said. "I hope they let me live in a Church in which the principal commandment is that of love, forgiveness, or fraternity, and not that of fear."
In response to statements by the general secretary of the Spanish Bishops' Conference, who said that those who vote to support abortion cannot receive Communion, Bono said, "I will avoid going to places where I am not wanted in order to avoid scandal, but thanks be to the God, the Church is very broad, very universal and very large."
He added that Christians in the Socialist Party want to be "consistent and not hide our religious sentiments because we believe that one of the best ways to renew socialism can come from the Christian principals of the Gospel."

"I was SO EXCITED to see this recipe, as the Harvest Grain & Nut Pancakes are my FAVOURITE at IHOP!!! I always wondered exactly how "healthy" they were... I always felt like I was making a good choice in getting those, but never completely sure. But now I can make them at home and I think they're delicious! Made them for the second time this mornin..."
"DELICIOUS! I made a few small modifications - I used ground turkey, a green bell pepper, and left out the red pepper flakes because I didn't have any. I also used 2 small (6 oz. cans I think) of tomato paste and 2 small cans of water in place of the puree since I didn't have any of that in the cupboard. We topped it with mozzarella cheese and some..."
"I first tried this recipe when I was living overseas (where wheat germ, among other things =) was very expensive) - so, I would make this without the wheat germ and put either extra oats of extra flour in the recipe to replace it. Sometimes it was still too watery so I'd just decrease the milk. I LOVE this recipe and make it all the time! It works..."
"Super yummy and easy to make! You'd never know this was a low fat/low sugar pie. Delicious, rich, and creamy. I am not sure about the measurement for the vanilla pudding - the recipe says two 4-ounce packages, but I used two 1-ounce packages of the fat free sugar free Jello vanilla pudding and it was the right amount. Thanks for the recipe!"
"Very flavorful! I mixed up the ingredients this morning before I went to work and left it marinating in the fridge all day. Very easy to put together! I baked the salmon until it flaked (about half an hour). The mixture of spices and other ingredients gave it a unique flavor - very yummy!"

We can't wait for the Droid 4. In the world of smartphones, the QWERTY sliders are a rare and exotic breed these days. Catching a glimpse of a machine with powerful specs and a keyboard-shaped secret gets our mouths watering. So a thirteen minute video will naturally trigger some flood warnings. Wirefly goes hands-on with the Droid 4 in the first video review overview of the latest in the Droid series.
The closest competitor to Apple's iPhone 4S? The testers decided to make the Galaxy Tab 8.9 the Android Honeycomb representative, and even with its aging Tegra 2 chipset the Tab pretty much matched Apple's iPhone 4S inch for inch.
I'd like to start by stating I am not a rabid Android "fanboy." In fact, I heavily considered the iPhone 3GS back in the day (er, last year), before deciding to pick up my Nexus One instead. Admittedly, I was a bit bedazzled by the concept of a "Google phone" and, as a confessed mega-geek, I found the bleeding-edge experience Android offered to be more exciting for some reason.
So I chose an Android device.
Samsung's call for amateur promotional Galaxy Tab 10.1 videos attracted many entries so far, most of which have already been posted by the company on YouTube. The winner is still MIA, but if the 4th place that you can see below is all the way down at 4th place, I am definitely looking forward to #1 (though I can't agree with the choices for #2 and #3).
Well done, Sergio A.
Yesterday at CTIA, Samsung unveiled its revamped Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the all-new Galaxy Tab 8.9 (check out our live coverage of the event). Unfortunately, that's about all Samsung did with them - neither was ever powered on. Samsung's CTIA exhibit housed the new devices in glass security cases (as you can see below), while early "prototypes" of the 8.9 and 10.1 running Honeycomb with Samsung's TouchWiz 4.0 overlay were available for hands-on time, in order to demonstrate some of the software the company plans to include when the devices are released.
The big question on everyone's mind (well, at least ours) today is: How will the iPhone coming to Verizon next month change the smartphone landscape? At this point, it's anyone's guess, but Android's unabashed domination on the US's largest wireless carrier will certainly be challenged in the coming months. However, there are significant forces at work that won't exactly help the iPhone with its Verizon debut - namely, Verizon and Android.
The latest manufacturer to show off an Android tablet at CES is Panasonic, whose Viera tablet will be released in three sizes: 4", 7" and 10". The three versions of the tablet, all physically identical except for the size, are all designed for use with a television, much akin to the recently announced Vizio phone and tablet.
Through Viera Connect, users will be able to stream movies on-demand and even use the screens on your TV and tablet together to watch sports at two different angles; naturally, the Viera tablet can also be used as a remote.

Hello all! I'm 47 definately going through the change and thought I'd tell you about my recent doctors appointment conerning MY bulging tummy! I'm having an ultrasound scheduled shortly because the bulge is directly under my boobs, mainly feeling pressure under my right breast. Looking at my profile in a mirror I look about 7 months pregnant because it's so high...no I'm not pregnant! I have a 21 year old daughter and 18 year old twin boys...that's it thank you! It's liver or gallbladder related I'm told. When the Estrogen disapears the liver is overworked, not a huge problem but an ultrasound will tell if it's more serious, gallstones for example. Also did you know that many women are misdiagnosed for menopause symptoms when it's Thydroid symptoms (Hypothyroidism) they're experiencing? Good idea to have that checked out. Black cohosh is toxic to the liver so please if you're in Menopause check with your doctor before taking! Can you tell I'm a nurse? Here's something I read on another site that was interesting! Believe it or not your fat cells are your menopausal helpers! They have the amazing capability of observing the first signs of declining estrogen levels so they activate more fat storage enzymes and increase their size so they will be able to produce estrogen. The bigger they become, the more they will be able to produce estrogen.
Studies have shown women with the largest fat cells produce 40% more estrogen than those with smaller fat cells. Your abdominal fat cells are more conducive to producing estrogen. These fat cells surround the liver and adrenal glands which lend a helping hand to produce estrogen. The adrenal glands produce a form of testosterone, the liver produces the enzyme to convert the testosterone to estrogen and the fat cells surrounding the liver and adrenal glands promote the laboratory to get the job done. The result is more estrogen...expanding waistline! The docter suggests it's a good Idea to fast once in a 7 day period and no fried foods or anything that would additionally over work my over worked liver. After all this I'm still very excited about my new found freedom from menstral complaints..hated my periods! No more planning vacations around my period..no more asking family to check out my butt getting out of the car for little (accidents). I'd gladly except a bulge in my tummy and be proud of it! Not to say I'll do everything in my power to get rid of it of course! Good luck ladies and enjoy your journey!

Feelin -- thank you, thank you. I think too many of us beat ourselves up because we don't look 20 years old anymore. Just the other day I finally said, I'm going to wear this t-shirt that hugs my hips because I like it, darn, and to heck with trying to look like I'm not 65! Who am I kidding!? So, I have a little pot belly. It doesn't make me a bad person, and now I have another reason to not hate my curves. Thanks for the education. |

Hello forum,
how it is possible to open DWG TrueView 2010/11 files on Windows 7 in Internet Explorer 8?
By default, DWG TrueView opens but it should be opened in IE8 as it worked with Voloviewer.
The folder option settings "File Types" in XP are not available anymore in Windows 7.
Do I need to change the registry setting for dwg files?
Could you describe in more detail what happens when you try and open a DWG with Trueview? Do you receive an error message? If so, please attach a screenshot of it.
When opening dwg files, the "file download dialog" appears, After confirming with "Open" , IE gets called up but the navigation gets cancelled and the DWG True view is being opened separately. See attachment
In Windows XP and Internet Explorer we used to open documents & files like .pdf & .dwg embedded in Internet Explorer. Configurable via Folder options tool in Windows Explorer. See:
This is not possible anymore in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.
In Windows 7 the software tools (Adobe, Office) handles this feature:
For pdf. files this setting is available inside Adobe Preferences
Microsoft has released a softwer patch that changes thr registry settings for xls, doc, and other MS Office files.
All other software tools needs to handle this in its software itsself.
Is their any option in DWG True View or any registry setting where embedded IE view can be enabled?
DWG files should open directly in IE without any dialogs as it works with pdf files
Yes, we are having this exact same issue. We have many machines running Windows 7 and we have guidesheets posted on our internal Sharepoint site. These sheets will not open as they did in the past. Microsoft points fingers at Autodesk and Autodesk says Microsoft. We need a fix FAST.
I have installed DWG TrueView 2012. The problem is .he same. Our users need to open DWG files iInternet Explorer! If not we'll have to move to other alternatives. Please help. Oscar Garin
I'm having the same problem when I try to open a dwg file by internet explorer 9 appear just a blank page
Hello ...
I was getting the same behavior (of a Blank Page in Internet Explorer) while trying to View a DWG Drawing from our Web Base Custom Online Documentation System !!!
Finally found a Fix to this Issues I was having by Modifying a REGISTRY KEY
Tested this Registry Key Modification for both Autodesk DWG TrueView 2012 & 2013 and it Worked for both ... I was then able to View the DWG Drawing through the DWG TRUE VIEW Application !
Here's the Modification that I have made to the Registry for it to Work :
Goto to the following Key
And Change the Value for the (REG_SZ) the "Content Type"
After that try re-open the Document that didn't get Opened (it should now Work, at least it did for me)
(NOTE that you may need to Close your Internet Explorer and restart your file opening process from scratch)
Hopefully this will Help some of you with this Nightmarish behavior of DWG TrueView via Internet Explorer
and allow you to move onto more interesting & Productive Work
Have a Great Day
Thank You
Eric Prevost
This simple registry change worked like a charm..thanks!
