I've been addicted to books since I can remember. I will read anything! Listening is a relatively new skill.
"Funny and troubling."
Another fantastic piece of journalism. Witty and entertaining but most of all it is relevant and very troubling.
"Brilliant Audiobook"
I really enjoyed this audiobook although it has made into a psychopath spotter!
I think it really benefitted from Ronson personally narrating as the story comes alive. I was so enthralled I listened to it in under 48hrs,
Funny and interesting
"didn't do it for me"
not gripping enough for me. I have read other non fiction book that kept me in it the whole time but this one did. Not sure exactly why, maybe it was just the subject that didn't interest me much
"Great book"
A fascinating book with excellent audio track. This book does have serious I ration but it is by no means academic - light hearted and interesting throughout
"Fascinating stuff!"
'Read' this for my book group, and at first I wasn't keen, but once I got into it I found it fascinating! The tendency to begin to assess your own family and friends for 'evidence' of the various traits is unavoidable.
Although some of what Ronson reveals is really quite shocking, it's all done in a very accessible way, with plenty of humour too.
i am not really interested in psychology just bought this because it looked interesting. i found it fascinating. once again audible thanks for broadening my horizons. found myself looking at friends and colleagues differently and putting them on the psychopath scale.
"Made me think"
While listening to this book, for the first time I wondered if I might be a psychopath. I conclude no but it amused me that the book could question this. Jon though did make me realise everything is not black and white when it comes to personality disorders. Jon reads the book well and it is an easy book to listen to even if you have no knowledge of the subject matter. I'd recommend trying the book out.
"The Psychopath Test"
An excellect book, good descriptions and hints of how to become a pscychpath spotter. A 5 star, interesting read.
I could listen to Jon Ronson all day. He takes a slightly sceptical viewpoint in everything he does but has a knack of getting his subjects to open up to him, whilst revealing small bits about his own personality along the way. A great and enjoyable listen.

"Review: "The Psychopath Test" by Jon Ronson"
If the purpose of the book was to leave me with more questions that answers, then it was a success. But I can't help thinking that that kind of journalism is sort of...lazy. Every time I wanted Ronson to delve a little deeper, he skirted aside or made a joke.
Overall, I did like this book, though my review might suggest otherwise. I wish it had gone deeper but it certainly aroused my curiosity and inspiring an audience to ask questions can't be a bad thing. I just wish there had been a few more answers than question.

If Oakville residents have issues with the Town's proposed 2013 budget, they aren't bringing them before the 2013 Budget Committee.
Just five delegations spoke at a public input meeting Thursday at Town Hall — and the previous session on the morning of Nov. 21 attracted no one at all.
The Town is eyeing a 3.67-per cent budget hike for 2013.
If approved, it would translate into a 1.73-per cent hike on the property tax bill — after being combined with an anticipated 0.8-per cent hike from Halton Region and no increases for education. Oakville taxpayers could pay an extra $16.22 per $100,000 of assessment on 2013 property taxes — $64.88 more per year on a home worth $400,000.
Among those who did speak Thursday was John McMullen, chair of the Association of Oakville Harbours Stakeholders (AOHS).
He wanted a proposed 6.5-per cent hike to mooring rates between 2013 and 2016 revisited and asked for removal of a 25-per cent surcharge on mooring rates for tenants who do not winter a boat with the Town or an Oakville club.
McMullen also said developers should have to pay toward costs of harbour dredging, a cost currently shouldered by boaters, as development can add sediment to the water upstream, which finds its way into the harbours.
McMullen said tax hikes will drive away business, but Oakville Mayor Rob Burton said increases are required so taxpayers don't end up subsidizing the cost of operating the harbours.
Burton noted leaders of local residents' associations have been asked about, and declined, subsidizing boating in Oakville.
The mayor said there's no way to make developers pay for dredging and that it's unlikely the budget committee would revisit the proposed rate increases.
Bill Smith, president and chair of the Oakville Arts Council's (OAC) Cultural Grants Review Committee asked the Town to support the Oakville arts community by continuing its annual commitment of $98,000 to the OAC's Cultural Grants Program and, if possible, to boost the amount by $40,000.
The program allows the local arts and culture community to cultivate, develop and produce programs for local residents.
In the past, funding from the Cultural Grants Program has assisted groups like the Oakville Camera Club, the Halton Youth Symphony, Community Arts Space, and others.
"We believe that a strong arts sector helps build healthy and vibrant communities and it's clear the residents of Oakville benefit when the Town supports the arts," said Smith.
"Regarding the cultural grants, we've had 20 requests from groups this year. The requests were predominantly operating requests for rents, marketing, insurance, websites, outreach programs, and equipment storage."
Smith said the volunteers for these groups put in thousands of hours annually and said the Town's investment recognizes that hard work.
Smith also called on the Town to bump the OAC's operating grant from $75,000 to $100,000.
He said the hike would greatly assist the OAC in meeting the needs of the expanding Oakville arts community.
While not quoting a number, Julia Hanna, chair of the Oakville Chamber of Commerce, said the chamber supports investment in economic development initiatives and projects that bring more visitors to Oakville.
Hanna said the town could use more events like the Canadian Open being held here next summer.
Calling for another Oakville business leaders' forum, Hanna said local businesses need more information about the potential impact of designating Downtown Oakville a Heritage District.
Resident Diane Burton said she wants the Town to set aside $150,000 next year and every subsequent year to purchase undeveloped land that would be added to the Natural Heritage System (NSH).
She said it is needed to replace portions of the NSH, which she said had been severely damaged through the addition of road networks.
Town staff argued only a limited number of roads are permitted to go through the NSH and said these lands have not been damaged or lost.
David Capper of Weston Consulting, representing Carttera Private Equities, asked the budget committee to support a new Oakville Transit Route 120 (East Industrial).
The route would offer rush-hour service only to North Service Road East and, in particular, the new industrial development area including the Siemens and Carttera sites.
The route would cost $138,100 per year with Oakville Transit proposing a one-year trial in 2013 to be funded from the Town's Innovation Reserve.
While Capper could not say how many people would be using the route, or even how many may be employed in the Carttera developments, he did say Carttera has completed construction of 127,000 square feet of flex office space and recently received approval to construct a six-storey office building featuring 140,000 square feet of employment space.
Capper said Carttera is working on a project that will see a total of 600,000 square feet of employment space and employment related space brought to the southwest corner of Joshua Creek Drive and Upper Middle Road.
Siemens' move to Oakville is expected to bring 800 jobs to the town.
The 2013 Budget Committee is to begin deliberations today at Town Hall.
The budget will come before council for approval on Monday, Dec. 17.
Residents who wish to appear before the budget committee as a delegate should register at email@example.com or call 905-815-6015.
Written comments for the committee can be sent to Town Clerk, Town of Oakville, 1225 Trafalgar Rd., Oakville, ON, L6H 0H3. Alternately, residents can e-mail their comments to email@example.com.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
In this exercise I'm going to show you how to make your own custom black and white image from inside Camera Raw. We're going to once again work with Tree & shadow.dng, and then switch over to HI/ Grayscale. Then I want you to turn on the Convert to Grayscale checkbox. Now of all the ways that you can mix the black and white image with Photoshop, I would characterize this as the most powerful, for the simple reason that you have the most controls. You have eight controls in all, instead of six, which is what you get with the black and white adjustment layer for example.
So you might even want to open any old image inside of Camera Raw if you're considering converting it to Grayscale, and you can by the way, you can open JPEGs and TIFFs in Camera Raw, and I'll explain how that works in another exercise. Let's go ahead and start mixing here. The first thing I'm going to do, I want a similar look with the sky really dark, and the grass light and the foliage light and so on. So we get sort of an infrared photography effect. So I'm going to go ahead and drop the Blues down pretty dark here. I'll take him down to let's say -75, and then Purples and Magentas are going all the way down to -100. Then let's try taking the Aquas down -- I'm not really all that confident this is going to do anything for us, but let's take him down to about -25% here. Let's bring up the Greens, so that we have a little bit of an intermediate color zone here.
Before we go to Yellows, which I'm going to take away the heck up, let's go ahead and take these guys up to about + 90. Then the Oranges should rise too. Oranges will help us brighten the tree potentially here. So I'll go ahead and take this up to +100 like so. Then not too concerned about Reds. There's not all that many reds to work with here. But I might take it up to about +10. We get the effect that you see before you right now. Just to make sure that we're bringing out as much luminance as possible, let's get rid of some of this clipping by going back to the basic controls, and I'll reduce the Exposure.
I'll go ahead and Alt+drag or Option+ drag this Exposure value down to say something like -.5 might work up pretty nicely for us. Then Alt+drag or Option+drag the Blacks slider as well. I want to keep that pretty dark. I might actually take that up and clip the image just a little bit more, because as long as those clip pixels are pretty far away from each other, and these are pretty darn scattered throughout the image. We won't have areas of solid black, i.e., we won't have flat areas of black. All right, so this is looking pretty nice. Now it's going to look even nicer if we imbue the effect with color. So if we convert this black and white image now over to a dual tone. You can do that by taking advantage of the Split Toning controls right there. So go ahead and Click on Split Toning, and the idea is that you can infuse the highlights with one color and the shadows with another color. That's it.
So you get the two colors, which makes it a better colorization tool then say Hue Saturation, but not nearly as good as the Gradient Map adjustment layer. So Gradient Map remains my favorite method for creating any sort of Grayscale colorization. But having said that, this is not bad. So the first thing you do is you up the saturation values for both highlights and shadows, so you can get a sense of what you're doing. I'm going to take the hue value for the highlights over to 60, let's say, like so, and then I'll take the hue value for the shadows over to say 15; and I'll leave these saturation values cranked for just a moment, so we can see the result of this balance option. Balance determines the threshold between highlights and shadows.
So right now with value of 0, or say the brightest 50% of the colors are highlights, and the darkest 50% of the colors are shadows. There's of course some nice softening in between. I shouldn't say of course, because a lot of functions inside of Photoshop don't have softening. They have on-off thresholds. But this control does have softening. It does have fuzziness. So that's good. So I could raise this value in order to say more of the colors are highlights, and therefore should be colorized with yellow, or I can lower the value to say more of the colors are going to be shadows, and should therefore be infused with scarlet, or vermilion, or whatever this color is here. Anyway, I want to leave that set to 0. I just wanted to demonstrate how that value works.
I am also going to take down these ludicrous saturation values. I'm going to take the highlights down to 20 for saturation, and I'm going to take the shadows down to 15, so that we have a reasonably saturated, but not over-the-top dual tone effect here. That's it friends. Just to give you a sense of what we were able to accomplish, let's scoot over here to HI/Grayscale, and I'll turn off preview. This is the color image that we saw when we first opened up the image, just at the outset of this exercise, and this is the way the image looks now. Looks so good. Thanks to our black and white modifications here inside of Camera Raw.
I am going to go ahead and Click the Done button in order to accept the deed, and we'll press the Spacebar here inside the Bridge in order to view the image across the entire screen. Love it, an amazing, breathtaking dual tone. Thanks to the power of Camera Raw.

Nobody likes Hitler. Mecha-Hitler, on the other hand, is irresistible. Maybe it's the extra chainguns. Maybe it's his over-sized armor. Whatever the reason, more metal seems to make boss fights more fun. Unfortunately, Mecha-Hitler - and his tiny toothbrush mustache - won't be making an appearance in the next Wolfenstein game. But that can't stop us from dreaming of other mecha-men we'd like to fight, right?
Why we want to fight him: He may not have been the best president. But if we have to fight an army of goons who speak Engrish as a second language, we want George W. Bush to be "the decider" who leads them.
Why we want to fight him: Because we're afraid of him, okay? Bill O'Reilly is a scary, scary man. And since games have seemed to help us overcome our fear of gigantic mushrooms and floating gold coins, we figured they could help us come to terms with our phobia that people actually listen to this guy.

His lawyers say it's because he wanted to get caught. Prosecutors disagree.
Andrade's lawyers never said he didn't do it. From the beginning, they argued that he had killed Angie without thinking, that he'd made a grave and terrible mistake. And they pointed to his actions after the murder as proof that he was sorry.
"He didn't do anything to try to run from this," defense attorney Kundelius said at the trial. Instead, he stuck around. One ex-girlfriend described him as edgy and scared. She said that in the days after the murder, he told her he was going to kill himself. In her closing argument, Kundelius offered this exchange between Andrade and Mendoza, as recorded in a jailhouse call days after Andrade's arrest:
Mendoza: What were you fucking thinking, Allen, driving that fucking car?
Andrade: I wanted to face it.
But Andrade didn't tell anyone what he'd done. Instead, he lied to cover his tracks. For instance, he told his ex-girlfriends he'd bought the PT Cruiser he'd stolen from in front of Angie's apartment, even though he was unemployed. He blatantly used the credit card he found inside and took cell-phone photos and videos of himself masturbating and groping one of his ex-girlfriend's breasts. He also stole Angie's purses and gave them to Mendoza as gifts.
Prosecutors say that behavior smacks of a man with no remorse. If Andrade was so repulsed by the situation and by what he'd done, why did he continue to surround himself with the evidence? Why did he keep constant reminders of Angie and his crime?
The answer they gave is harsh: Because Andrade didn't value Angie's life. Once he found out she was transgender, he thought of her as "less than us," as someone the world wouldn't miss much. And that's the opposite of remorse, they said.

That's essentially all I use -- Dataquay does a basic job of wrapping

Pharma marketers that disable comments on their Facebook pages are in for a change.
Pharma brand marketers that disable comments on their Facebook pages are in for a change. As predicted, Facebook will no longer allow pharma brands - which are typically highly risk averse when it comes to discussions about their drugs and products in social media environments - to turn off commenting on their pages.
In an effort to keep Facebook a forum for open dialogue, the company will not allow admins of new pages to disable commenting on their pages, according to a company spokesperson. In addition, brands with preexisting pages will be required to allow comments after August 15, according to an email sent by Facebook reps notifying clients of the changes. The email was posted yesterday to the Intouch Soul blog, associated with pharma marketing agency Intouch Solutions.
"Previously, pharmaceutical brands could submit a request through their Facebook Sales Representative to disable commenting on their Facebook Page," notes the email. Facebook confirmed that the email was sent by its reps to page administrators.
"We think these policy changes support consistency for the Facebook Pages product and encourage an authentic dialogue between people and businesses on Facebook," continued the email. "However, we also understand that these changes may lead you to re-evaluate your strategy and presence on Facebook. We are committed to helping you during this transition."
Pharma marketers are required to report adverse effects of their drugs, so if someone posts a comment about an adverse effect on a Facebook page, the company is responsible to report that to the Food and Drug Administration. Also, when they become aware of online conversations including incorrect or off-label information about their drugs and products, they need to notify the FDA.
The FDA has yet to determine official guidelines for pharma brands operating in digital media, so pharma marketers tend to be extremely cautious in their decision making about how to use things like online advertising and Facebook pages.
The email also stated that pages dedicated to a prescription drug – for instance, Facebook.com/BrandX as opposed to Facebook.com/LivingWithDiseaseX – may, if approved by Facebook, be allowed to disable commenting.
ADHD Allies, a Facebook page from McNeil Pediatrics, is one of many non-drug-specific pages that disables comments. A recent post to the page asked, "Has ADHD affected your relationship with a loved one or significant other? If so, how? Share your answer on this week's comment wall found on the Perspectives tab." The Perspectives page features a lengthy disclaimer and states, "All submissions will be reviewed and must be approved by McNeil Pediatrics before being posted."
Jonathan Richman, group director, strategic planning for marketing agency Possible Worldwide, said pharma marketers could benefit from the change once they become accustomed to it. "In the long run, this will have a net positive effect," he said. Richman wrote about the Facebook change on his Dose of Digital blog which is focused on digital pharma and healthcare marketing.
"They've had this special exception for pharma for a while," he continued. "It's against the entire way that Facebook actually works." He also told ClickZ that by disabling comments, pharma companies "in some ways are probably confusing to people."
Still, some pharma marketers could be alienated by the move. "Right now with the policy the way it was laid out.... there's a lot of feeling that Facebook doesn't quite understand all the needs that pharma has," said Jim Dayton, senior director emerging media at Intouch Solutions. "They haven't taken all the different levels and different regulation concerns into account."
Added Dayton, "Pharma as an industry is still a little bit leery of Facebook and social media as a whole." He said marketers with comments disabled on pages based on diseases, as opposed to drug brands, "feel safe." Now, "They've kind of had that pulled out from under them." Dayton suggested that some might just stop doing Facebook marketing as a result of the change.
"It will take a cool head and know-how to make Facebook safe again for some of our pharma clients," he said.
Despite the fact that pharma marketers could be turned off, Facebook is not likely to experience much of an impact on its bottom line, simply because few pharma brands actually buy advertising on the platform. "Our clients haven't asked us to spend ad dollars [on Facebook]," said Dayton, so the company "isn't really concerned about the money pharma will throw at them."

This beautiful privately owned home in a small island neighborhood is perfect for couples, honeymoons, families, reunions or a girlfriend getaway. It is lavishly furnished in bright tropical hues with a Key West feel and faces northwest to experience gorgeous sunsets. The deck is brand new and spacious, equipped with a grill for barbequeing, a sparkling pool, plenty of comfy patio furniture for sunbathing, relaxing or just enjoying the view. Enjoy Al fresco dining or a cool drink in your beautiful private waterfront backyard where you have dolphins, manatee, and even a bald eagle as your neighbor! You can fish right out your back door, or pick up something to grill from one of several fresh fish markets.
This 3 Bedroom 3 Bath home with a loft is located in Tarpon Springs, one of the best-kept cultural secrets in Florida. It is one of the largest Greek communities outside of Greece and listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. Its yearly calendar is filled with Greek festivals, street dancing, music and events. Just a few minutes by boat will take you to the beautiful open water of the Gulf of Mexico, where you may visit Anclote Key and its famous lighthouse immortalized by singer Bertie Higgins! Here you can hike, snorkle, collect shells, visit the lighthouse or just relax on an island maintained in its pristine and natural condition. Other beaches in the area are the equally lovely Honeymoon Island, and Caledesi Island State Park, which is consistently ranked as one of the most beautiful beaches in the U.S.
With plenty of windows in the house and two kayaks for guest use, you will enjoy to the fullest what you came to Florida to do--enjoy the sunshine and warm temperatures, which are year round. Take out a kayak and explore one of the many uninhabitied islands that dot the river where you may see herons, egrets, eagles, osprey, manatee, tarpon, dolphins, sting ray, the elusive rosette spoonbill, and much more all in their protected habitats. Sunset Beach, known for its sunset concerts, and Fred Howard Park Beach with wonderful picnic facilities, wind surfing and playground are both just a short drive away, as well as the world renown Innisbrook Golf Courses. Tarpon Springs even has its own picturesque course where you can warm up!
Please note there is no safety fence around the pool area, and no fence around the home where it backs up to the water. Therefore, the property may not be suitable for small children and nonswimmers.
The home is located in a quiet, private island neighborhood in Tarpon Springs, approximately 25 minutes from the Suncoast Parkway, approximately 40 minutes from highway 75. St. Petersburg/Clearwater is about 30 minutes south and Tampa is about 40 minutes east. Orlando and the Disney vacation land is just a quick 1 1/2 hours east.
We have thoroughly enjoyed the time spent here. Being able to relax and let the kids play in the pol, and being able to fish in the canal, and board our boat right at the house was great. We celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary while here. The location of the house was ideal being only minutes from my brother and his family. We are considering a move to Tarpon Springs! The house is lovely and gave us all plenty of room. We had a great family vacation with everyone being together. We hope to share your home again when we come back to Tarpon Springs!
If you decide to venture out from your fabulous vacation home, there are plenty of other things to do and see in Tarpon Springs.
The Coral Springs Aquarium, the Scenic Pinellas Trail for hiking, biking or jogging-bike rentals available at Tarpon Toms, Tarpon Tavern and craft beers, a winery with tour and tasting room, the antique district with its red brick streets and cafes, the historic Railroad Museum, art galleries, a day spa, Greek culture, shopping and food at the world famous Sponge Docks, beach concerts and movies at Sunset Beach, picnicing at Howard Park, restaurants featuring some of the freshest seafood around brought in daily by their own boats, Brooker Creek Nature Preserve and hiking trails, charming Victorian homes, deep sea fishing trips on the Viking Fleet, sailing and sightseeing excursions, private boat rentals at Belle Harbor Marina, scuba diving, tennis, street festivals, farmer's market, art shows, paddle board rentals, Jolly Trolly that provides service as far south as Clearwater, delectible Greek pastries, and a very busy events calendar and theater schedule.

Google Unveils New HP Laptop For $279
By ANICK JESDANUN
NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ Google is introducing a $279 laptop that runs its Internet-centric Chrome operating system, borrowing many of the high-end features found in models that cost $1,000 or more.
Hewlett-Packard Co. makes the new HP Chromebook 11. Although its price is in line with most other Chrome OS notebooks, the new model sports many design features found in pricier devices, including the $1,299 Chromebook Pixel.
Unlike Windows and Mac laptops, Chromebooks rely heavily on continuous Internet connections to run Gmail, Google Docs and other online services. Many apps don't run directly on the device but over the Internet. The devices also have relatively little storage, as documents, photos and other files are supposed to be stored online.
Google promotes Chromebooks as affordable laptops for a wide range of people, including schoolchildren and merchants who can use Google's tools on the Internet without the extra expense and hassle of installing more sophisticated software such as Adobe's Photoshop photo-editing software or Microsoft's Office word processing and spreadsheet package. Chromebooks come with a lightweight photo editing package and Quickoffice, a Microsoft Office alternative that Google bought last year. The Chromebook 11 has a sleek, plastic frame with no sharp edges or corners â¿¿or even screw holes. The speakers are tucked under the keyboard so sound comes out toward the user, even when the laptop is on the user's lap. Devices with speakers on the back or the bottom don't do that. The new laptop's display measures 11.6 inches diagonally, the same as a popular Chromebook model from Samsung Electronics Co. The Chromebook 11 weighs slightly less, at 2.3 pounds, compared with 2.4 pounds for the Samsung model. Caesar Sengupta, Google's vice president of product management for Chromebooks, said HP approached Google after seeing the Pixel, which Google designed and made on its own using an unnamed contract manufacturer.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The Pros And Cons Of Living With Your In-Laws
Barack Obama has something in common with 5% of Americans over the age of 18. He lives with his mother in-law. Why Do Men Get Married?
And while the leader of the free world is not one to badmouth said mother in-law (who assisted with childcare duties during the presidentail campaign and who was brought along to Washington D.C. to do the same), he is obviously absent from an article in yesterday's New York Times about Marian Robinson's life in the White House.
The piece, which opens with a quote from the first mother in-law's son, Craig Robinson, about how she had to be dragged "kicking and screaming" away from her home in Chicago, goes on to explain, in the words of Michelle Obama and Robinson herself, how quickly she took a liking to life in the Executive Mansion — which includes lunches with famous people, dinners at fancy restaurants, and concerts at the Kennedy Center (viewed from the presidential box). Mother's Day Wishlist
"She has a very full social life," the First Lady says, "So much so that sometimes we have to plan our schedule around her."
But while Robinson, her children, and even the blue bloods in Washington D.C. are quoted in the article saying that Robinson is "perfectly comfortable with her new life," one can't help but wonder how the president feels. Does he face the same mother in-law-related frustrations that the rest of us do?
And so, inspired by Barack Obama and his particular situation, we've come up with a list of the pros and cons of living with one's mother in-law.
The Pros
1. Help with the kids. Marian Robinson looks over Sasha and Malia as they do everything from their homework to Easter egg hunts. If your in-laws are trustworthy and willing, they may be able to serve as home-based baby sitters as well.
2. The chance to keep an eye on the elders. Some in-laws, like Robinson, run 50-yard dashes and take yoga classes in their spare time. Others suffer from slip-and-fall accidents and forget to take their heart medicine. Cohabitating with the in-laws means you can help keep them safe, if that's what they need.
3. More time with people you like. Some people really like their in-laws. Really.

During the 2011 college football season, the Wisconsin Badgers and the Oregon Ducks combined to score a whopping 1,112 points. And each team did so at nearly the same clip—the Badgers put up 564 points to the Ducks' 548. So it's a natural fit that the two heavyweight teams will battle January 2 in the 2012 Rose Bowl, a game that pundits predict will be one of the highest-scoring Rose Bowls in history. To get an up-close view of the offensive fireworks, Badger Trips has tailored comprehensive travel packages: after tailgating and getting amped up at team pep rallies, fans will attend the Rose Bowl itself.On the morning of New Year's Eve, Badger fans will board a private, chartered jet from Dane County Regional Airport (MSN) in Madison direct to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The long trip is made breezy thanks to a stylish aircraft: travels can sink into plush seats and watch movies, listen to music, and play video games on the entertainment systems.Once on the ground, travelers will be taken by shuttle to the Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza, a Four Diamond retreat situated atop historical Bunker Hill. For three nights, guests can take advantage of all the Omni has to offer, whether they wish to camp out in recently renovated deluxe rooms, ease pre-game anxiety at the onsite spa, or debate the merits of the wishbone offense at the romantic Noé Restaurant, voted Best Romantic Restaurant by the Los Angeles Times Readers Choice Awards. Leading up to the big game, fans can use shuttle services to freely hop to and from various festivities and sightseeing opportunities: on Saturday there's a massive group pep rally and on Sunday a four-hour tour of Los Angeles and a group viewing of the Green Bay Packers game. Check out a detailed trip itinerary here.On Monday morning, buses board for Pasadena to the storied Rose Parade, which is followed by the Badger Huddle—a massive tailgate that serves beers, brats, and a spread of snacks. And then, finally, the main event kicks off at 2 p.m., when the University of Wisconsin will compete to be crowned Rose Bowl champion. Established in 1902, the Rose Bowl is known as the "Granddaddy of Them All" and, outside of fishing marshmallows from cereal, is the oldest bowl game known to man. At the center of the legendary 90,000-seat stadium, players such as Wisconsin Badger running back Montee Ball—who has scored 38 touchdowns this season—will look to turn in a legendary performance to join Wisconsin alum and Heisman Trophy-winner Alan Ameche in the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame.
Decorative smokestacks stretch toward the sky as Victorian red and gold decor surrounds passengers nibbling brunch in a dining salon. This scene unfolds aboard the Spirit of Dubuque, an authentic-looking paddleboat that pays homage to the century-old steamboats of the Mississippi River. Dubuque River Rides' signature vessel, it has played host to thousands of cruises filled with entertainment, meals, and improvised renditions of "Old Man River" since being christened by Iowa governor Robert Ray in 1977. Elsewhere on the river, a more modern boat cuts across the water, casting a sleek outline against the sky. The 80-foot yacht, affectionately called Miss Dubuque, sets an intimate stage for events that range from weddings to Huckleberry Finn's notorious dinner parties.
Both boats call the northern expanse of the Mississippi River their home, sharing the area with wildlife such as turtles and bald eagles. The sightseeing vessels also pass by river barges and historic structures such as the Chicago Central Pacific Railroad Bridge, which was built after the president invented Lincoln Logs in 1868. After boats return to the docks, their passengers can head over to the floating barge that houses the Ice Harbor Restaurant.
Retrace and retread tractor history at this Dyersville museum, located 90 minutes from downtown Cedar Rapids. With thousands of toys and exhibits scattered throughout its two-floored exhibition space, the National Farm Toy Museum pays tribute to historic and contemporary crop contraptions. Fun-loving farm enthusiasts may peruse the museum's frenzy of farm implements, including trucks, pedal tractors, and life-size John Deer soil-sifters. Original artwork, dioramas, and two Doug Schlesier sculptures artfully express anecdotes of American agriculture, while miniature farm replicas and Ertl Company toys convey while miniature-sized farm replicas and Ertl Company toys convey to visitors the life-sized growth of American farming. The National Farm Toy Museum is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that Chestnut Mountain seems made for skiing?technically it is. The minds behind this resort transformed 220 rolling acres of snow into 19 trails, which crisscross a combined 475-foot vertical drop. Because the routes range from novice to Black Diamond, skiers of all skill levels can participate.
Another thing that makes the resort accessible to everyone: The Village Ski Center, which equips visitors with all the gear they need to conquer the mountain and all the Three's Company trivia they need to pass by its ice trolls. Here, 50 guides and instructors train students in skiing and snowboarding. During this training they often make use of the resort's Farside Terrain Park, where more than 25 rails let boarders practice tricks.
The resort even encompasses a few things that have nothing to do with snow, including three onsite restaurants and a handful of summer activities, namely mini golf and scenic cruises of the Mississippi River.
Stone Cliff Winery sits in the fertile hills of eastern Iowa, near Dubuque. It's where the winery's owner, Nan Smith, grew up, and the place where she and her husband decided to buy a farm and raise their daughters. But their original thoughts of conventional farming turned to winemaking; so in 1996, they planted their first 2,000 grapevines on the property, and the winery has been thriving ever since.
Today, the Smiths and their team craft wines ranging from classic cabernet sauvignon to a fruity apple-cranberry wine. Customers can even adorn the bottles with personalized labels to commemorate a special occasion. And patrons don't have to climb Dubuque's hills to sample the winery's vintages?they can visit the tasting room in the historical Star brewery building, on the banks of the Mississippi River.
With cruises and rentals from Dubuque?s American Lady Yacht Cruises, you can set sail along the Mississippi River either as a relaxed passenger or an adventuresome captain. Aboard the $1 million American Lady yacht, passengers roam the vessel's two stories, slipping into the climate-controlled interior salons or enjoying the river breeze on the open bow and upper deck. The yacht has hosted weddings and corporate events, and it regularly departs on happy hour and sunset dinner cruises that treat passengers to fresh air, panoramic views, drinks, and refreshments from the ship?s caterer, Catfish Charlie?s River Club.
Sylvan 21- and 24-foot pontoon boats are also in the company's fleet.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Kilo, a Conyers Siberian Husky dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Siberian Husky for sale in Conyers, or seeking a Siberian Husky dog from a breeder in Conyers.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Conyers already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Conyers breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Siberian Husky breeders who help with Siberian Husky rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Conyers paves the way for another one to be saved.

The trailer for Zak Snyder's Sucker Punch is completely insane. Good insane, but insane nevertheless. Not many directors are making films this stylish and uncompromising.
27 July 2010
With the film nearly eight months away, who knows how Zak Snyder's fetishistic follow-up to Watchmen will actually turn out, but one thing is for certain: The visually stunning posters for Sucker Punch will definitely insure this film stands out from just about everything else released between now and March 2011.

This is from the Image Comics 2010 San Diego Comic-Con Yearbook, available at Comic-Con International San Diego this weekend at the Image Comics booth (#2729):
Also included in the book are original pin-ups by Mike Allred, Dan Brereton, Ian Churchill, Marian Chuchland, Tommy Lee Edwards, Chris Giarrusso, Brandon Graham, Shaky Kane, Joseph Michael Linsner, the Luna Brothers, Ben Templesmith and a whole host of others. It looks pretty sweet. You should buy one.

For the most part, The Style Council made bloody terrible music videos. How that happened is still a mystery to me: The band's record sleeves and advertisements (all designed by Simon Halfon from Paul Weller's ideas) were impeccably presented, reflecting the playful sense of pan-European style Weller wished to associate with his first post-Jam venture. There was also a '60s influence at work, along with the Modernist touches that have been virtually omnipresent throughout Weller's career, and nearly everything associated with the Council during the peak years of '83-'85 had a very distinctive look.
Except the videos!
By and large directed by Tim Pope, who is perhaps best known for his Cure videos, most of The Style Council's videos did little to expand upon the band's image. And worse, they were often just plain silly, even by the somewhat dubious standards of the 1980s, completely undermining the quality of the music.
The few that did work were pretty great, though: The lazy soul of 1983 hit "Long Hot Summer" is the one time they got the silly just right; "A Solid Bond in Your Heart" captures Weller & Talbot at their most Mod; "You're the Best Thing" comes on all moody and French; and "Walls Come Tumbling Down!" mixes travelogue and "live" footage to good effect, and even includes that floppy asymmetrical do Weller sported ever-so-briefly in 1985.
None of them are as picture perfect as the sleeve to Café Bleu, but they're the best documentation of the band's evolving look on video. By the end of '85, Weller & co. were looking away from the styles they were initially inspired by and focusing on more contemporary looks and sounds.
21 July 2010
20 July 2010
More images from my youth, these scanned from my own collection of TSC memorabilia. Early on, all the Style Council's ads had a look that was instantly recognizable, and I recall being captivated by the whole presentation. Getting the British music weeklies was always exciting back then, along with magazines like The Face, because the ads, along with various photo features, really did a good job of establishing the band's look – and in a way that their music videos consistently failed to.
Paul Weller at the peak of his sartorial powers, in my opinion.
1984, one of several ads for Café Bleu. "Here come the classics," indeed!
19 July 2010
I came across this the other day and aside from being thrilled to find one of my favorite early TSC ads online (someone really needs to compile a book of all the excellent design work Simon Halfon has done for Paul Weller and The Style Council), I was also prompted to consider how the images from the '80s that have stuck with me over the years are quite different from the images that more commonly define that decade. It also occurred to me that 1982-1985 wound up being a particularly influential period for me, with a handful of album covers laying the foundation for my later sartorial interests.
First among these was Donald Fagen's 1982 album, The Nightfly. I don't think I got the Steely Dan connection at the time, but that black and white image of Fagen as a late night deejay sporting a crewcut, along with an oxford cloth button-down and vintage tie gave the album a distinctly '60s flavor that caught my imagination and somehow never let go.
A couple years later, Paul Weller's first album with The Style Council, Café Bleu, had a similar effect. Released in 1984, it was Weller's first full album following the demise of The Jam, but whereas I'd liked The Jam, the image of Weller and fellow Councillor Mick Talbot outside a Parisian cafe, decked out in loafers, Levis, crisp white button-downs and macs was nothing short of spellbinding.
A slightly different version of the album was released in the U.S. as My Ever Changing Moods, featuring another shot from the same photo session, and that image is almost as iconic for me. Described by some as "French Ivy," this particular style struck me at the time as a more refined version of the Mod Look.
And then there's Kevin Rowland and his Famous Dixons.
Like most, I was somewhat befuddled by Rowland's makeover for Don't Stand Me Down at first, and initially, I only appreciated the subversiveness of the look. No other band dressed like this in 1985, and I thought it was a brave move to go from Celtic vagabonds to slick Ivy League types. It wasn't until some time later that I finally connected the dots between Mod and Ivy, realizing in the process that Kevin Rowland and Paul Weller had the same sartorial roots. This album cover stuck in my head long before that realization, though, from Billy Adams's cordovan brogues and lavender socks to the parting of Nicky Gatfield's hair...
There are others, of course, but these are the images the come to mind most often, and it's interesting to see now how they're all related. And even more so, that all of these images had such a profound on me at a time when my most of my peers were listening to the likes of Ratt, Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Wham!, Duran Duran and Madonna – and dressing up in similar fashion!

Psychedelic Scallies The Coral are back in action after a three-year layoff, and their new album, Butterfly House, is an absolute corker. For some reason, I've had low expectations for just about every album The Coral have made since their awe-inspiring debut, but they always manage to surprise me – even more so this time, because I didn't anticipate a full recovery from the loss of guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones. This may well be their best album yet, though. Hopefully, they make it over here in support of the record, because the new songs probably sound even better live.
In the meantime, here's the video for their CSN-drenched first single, "1,000 Years."

Cotton twill trousers – khakis – are easily one of the most basic elements of the Ivy Look, but boy, have they earned a bad rep over the years.
Once, khakis, an oxford cloth button-down and a pair of loafers or plain cap brogues were the building blocks of a straight-forward, yet sharp wardrobe. Today, khakis are often worn baggy, paired with oversized polo shirts and most closely associated with the term "business casual." Which is a shame, really, because well-made khakis, worn correctly, remain both straight-forward and sharp.
A small cult has developed around Bills Khakis, out of Reading, Pennsylvania, which is understandable, because they're made in the same style as cotton twill trousers from the '40s. I've learned over the years, however, that I like the idea of Bills Khakis much more than I like wearing them. I've tried both their standard fit and their trim fit, and both are just the wrong side of baggy.
That's how the overwhelming majority of American men seem to like their khakis, apparently: with a lot of extra room. For what, I don't know, because I prefer my clothes to be a bit slimmer, which is why Levi's wildly popular Dockers (shown below) have never been my thing.
As it turns out, though, Brooks Brothers had the foresight to offer their cotton twill trousers in no fewer than five styles, with their Milano fit being exactly the slimmer cut I'd wanted for years. Nearly every pair of khakis I'd bought since the mid-'80s had required heavy alterations, but after trying these on for the first time, I realized I just needed to have the hem raised by about an inch and they were perfect.
So, bad rep or no, here's to taking back khakis from the business casual crowd.

The resurgence of Ivy League style has been largely Web-driven, but fashion mags like Details and now Esquire have been quick to jump on the bandwagon in recent months. Each magazine has features on the staples associated with the look, although as one might expect, they are are fairly by-the-numbers: Bass loafers, herringbone jackets from J. Crew, sneakers from The Gap (via Keds), wallets by Prada, the requisite mentions of Brooks Brothers and Bill's Khakis...
Which isn't surprising. Magazines like Esquire and Details by their very nature are more concerned with fashion than style, feverishly pushing whichever Big Thing is all the rage that season before abandoning it for the Next Big Thing. (The former mag is even quick to note that many designers have already moved on from "button-down shirts and Top-Sider shoes.") In the interim, everything is distilled to uniform-like essentials, resulting in the mainstream adoption (and subsequent endurance) of only the most banal examples of any particular style: Punk equals spikey hair, safety pins and Doc Martens, man. Mods ride scooters, wear Fred Perrys and parkas. Leather jackets and denim are rock 'n' roll – and don't forget your weathered (concert) t-shirt.
Thankfully, in the midst of offering on the most cursory glances at what makes the style so appealing, both magazines do take care to mention how a book called Take Ivy has defined such a classic look, offer only the most cursory of examples of what makes that style so appealing.
Originally published in Japan during the mid-'60s, Take Ivy is essentially a collection of photos documenting the styles that dominated American collegiate fashion at the time, all shot by a Japanese photo journalist named Teruyoshi Hayashida. Over the years, the book has become viewed as the definitive photo journal of the Ivy League Look, and as interest in traditional American clothing – and Ivy, in particular – grew, Take Ivy began changing hands for hundreds of dollars.
Fortunately for anyone interested in finding out what all the fuss is about, this document of classic American style is being reprinted by powerHouse Books this August for a much more reasonable $24.95. I've yet to see more than a few scans from the book myself, but I've pre-ordered a copy and can't wait to get it.
I'm willing to bet it's more informative than a couple of pages in Esquire...

I've been on something of a Harry Nilsson bender over the last week or so. No, I don't mean I've been consuming life-threatening quantities of Brandy Alexanders and cocaine (although I do have a particular fondness for the former...), but my Nilsson albums have been getting a lot of play and I've been reading as much as I can about the man's music and life. And thanks to the Incredible Interweb of Awesomeness, I've been trawling for video footage as well. This clip, from a 1971 BBC special, is about as good as it gets:
And even though I can't embed it here for some reason, you can check out that BBC special in its entirety over at fortheloveofharry.blogspot.com.

...for Converse?
Don't get me wrong, it's nice to these Ivy staples getting the attention, but 1) the ad's just plain creepy, and 2) is using a model who clearly evokes Christian Bale in American Psycho really the best way to sell your product? Even as a fan of the shoes, the first name that came to mind was that of Brett Easton Ellis's stylish serial killer, not Jack Purcell...

With Independence Day mere hours away, I give you my top 10 favorite songs about America. Or at least with "America" in the title...
1. Manic Street Preachers, "IfWhiteAmericaToldtheTruthforOneDayit'sWorldWouldFallApart" (1994)
Good luck deciphering the words without referring to the lyric sheet, but this track from The Holy Bible is as sharp a criticism of Conservative America now as it was in 1994.
2. Blur, "Look Inside America" (1997)
Blur shunned Britpop for a decidedly more lo-fi affair with the eponymous follow up to the somewhat disappointing The Great Escape, and after three distinctly British albums, it was actually interesting to a song about their growing appreciation of America. Favorite line: "Annie Hall leaves New York in the end, but I press rewind and Woody gets her back again."
3. Curtis Mayfield, "Miss Black America" (1970)
From the spoken word opening to the majestic horns and strings, this is three minutes and four seconds of Curtis Mayfield at his absolute best.
4. David Bowie, "Young Americans" (1975)
With Ziggy Stardust in the rearview mirror, Bowie zooms into the future in his new guise as the soul-crooning Thin White Duke, and the results are nothing short of spectacular.
5. Elvis Costello & The Imposters, "American Gangster Time" (2008)
"I'd rather go blind for speaking my mind..."
I've always preferred Angry Elvis, so there was a lot to love on Momofuku, but this one is the standout.
6. Morrisey, "America is Not the World" (2003)
Who can resist a song with the lines, "And don't you wonder why, in Estonia, they say, 'Hey, you! Big fat pig. You fat pig, you fat pig'?"
7. The Lilac Time, "American Eyes" (1989)
Stephen Duffy and the Lilac Fucking Time go CSN.
8. Bikeride, "America's Favorite Omelettes" (1999)
I don't know what it is, but I like it.
9. Yes, "America" (1972)
Partial to 10-minute-plus prog rock covers of Simon & Garfunkel songs? Well, then by all means, allow me to introduce you to this epic re-working of this track from the folk duo's Bookends album.
10. Billy Bragg, "Help Save the Youth of America" (1986)
There are those who look at the of the '80s – when the twin terrors of Reagan and Thatcher ruled their respective roosts in the U.S. and the U.K. – as the "good old days." Billy Bragg isn't one of them.

Audi S3 review and price
What is it?
The new Audi S3, the third-generation of the four-wheel-drive hot hatchback. With 296bhp coming from its 2-litre four-cylinder turbo engine, prices start at £30,500.
Technical highlights?
The S3 spec sheet shows outputs of 296bhp and 280lb ft in a car weighing 1395kg. That means 0-62mph is dealt with in 5.2sec, or 0.4sec less if you opt for the six-speed S-tronic twin-clutch gearbox (a £1480 option), while top speed is limited to 155mph. Allied to this Porsche 911 Carrera-rivalling pace is the revelation that both gearboxes achieve over 40mpg on the combined cycle.
Add in packaging that can carry five adults (or two adults and enough stuff to emigrate), an interior which feels as premium as cars costing twice its asking price and you arguably have (along with the similarly fast, frugal, premium and practical BMW M135i) the most well-rounded car available today.
What's it like to drive?
Based on the same MQB platform as the SEAT Leon and mk7 VW Golf, the S3 is dynamically extremely polished. The whole structure of the car feels stiff and agile and turn-in is almost startlingly quick, even with the steering in its comfort setting.
The S3 definitely errs towards quick and secure rather than fun and involving. It slices through longer turns extremely accurately but utterly planted, almost egging you on to try and carry more and more speed. Predictably it's the nose that will start to nibble wide first, but if you lift off, the back will come into play quite smartly.
On track, the S3 had a nice balance, running wide at the limit, but then tightening its line nicely on an eased throttle. But on a rougher road surface it quickly starts to feel out of its depth, the damping struggling to keep the body under control and a surprising amount of float developing.
The gearshift in the manual isn't bad either, as although it's a little notchy it is decently weighted and there's positivity to the way it moves around the gate. Shifting your own gears gives a level of control that feels almost novel these days in a car with this sort of performance.
The S3's engine is a cracker: smooth-revving, lag-free and delivering serious performance without apparent effort. You can use its broad power band as you choose – working it hard, which it enjoys, or trusting the gutsy mid-range to pull a taller ratio. The engine might only be an in-line four-cylinder turbo but it is one of the best sounding that I've heard; it's deep and cultured with a lovely hard edge to it. Otherwise, it's close to just being a generic fast Audi. The gearshift is clean and accurate, but lacks weight. The clutch and brake pedal both feel too light, and the steering is over-assisted, too. Some traditions never change.
Unfortunately there wasn't enough time to try the S-tronic transmission, but although it's no doubt efficient and quick, it's probably a safe bet that we'd choose the manual while there is still the option.
On a more practical level it feels surprisingly small, too – noticeably tighter than the Golf and with a seating position hard to get comfortable in. The S3 is safe, rapid and desirable, and there's an unarguable appeal to it. But, like its predecessors, it still doesn't feel like a proper hot hatch.
How does it compare?
Its key rival is the £30,555 BMW M135i, which drives its rear wheels only with a 316bhp 3-litre turbo straight-six and offers the choice of six-speed manual and eight-speed auto gearboxes. And it's very, very good. Also on the horizon is the pricier and more powerful 355bhp Mercedes A45 AMG, an altogether more serious proposition that we've yet to drive.
Volkswagen is on the verge of launching a new Mk7 Golf R, which will feature the same 2.0-litre engine and Haldex four-wheel drive system. Prices are not yet confirmed, but it is expected to cost slightly more than the equivalent S3.
Anything else I need to know?
There's also a five-door Audi S3 Sportback, priced £620 higher, from £31,120. And while the badges read quattro, the new S3 uses a Haldex four-wheel-drive system that's familiar from other models in the VW group.
