New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Can anyone help with identifying the font used in this stamp please? I'm not sure if the distressed look is inherent to the font design or an effect of stamping. On the same note, I'm not sure whether the character alignment is irregular or whether the letters have been stamped individually.
Any help is very much appreciated.
The style is generally called De Vinne, and was used in inexpensive rubber-stamp kits in the 1900s. Unfortunately, the /n doesn't match...
Agree with Nick. Definitely DeVinne. For the /n issue, may it's a 180° rotated /u.
More alternatives (some including a roughen effect): Hand Stamped JNL, Publication JNL, Charter Stamp HF
Thanks for all you help guys. That will do nicely!

Corporate Crimes
Halliburton Plc.
A Corporate Profile
By Corporate Watch UK
Completed July 2003
Corporate crimes
Presented below is a mere taster of the foul world of Halliburton and is by no means a comprehensive overview of the company's corporate crimes. The company has been accused of a wealth of misdemeanours, including racial discrimination, not allowing its employees to file discrimination suits and of being viciously anti-union. 'Brown & Root as an entity has never had a labor agreement,' claims Dale Wortham, president of the Harris County AFL-CIO in Houston. 'They have been one of the most anti-union, anti-worker corporations in the world.'74
Respect for human rights
Halliburton has succeeded by partnering or engaging with governments around the world –– including some of the most repressive regimes in the world - and has been complicit in numerous human rights violations. In order to do business with dictators and despots, Halliburton has skirted US sanctions and made considerable efforts to eliminate those sanctions. Halliburton's dealings in seven countries – Burma, Cuba, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Libya and Nigeria – show the extent of its willingness to do business where human rights are not respected.75
Adventures in Burma...
'We don't do business in Burma,' claims Halliburton spokesperson Wendy Hall. But while the company may have no current direct investments in Burma, it has participated in a number of energy development projects there, including the notorious Yadana and Yetagun pipelines. Prior to the gas pipeline's construction, the Burmese military forcibly relocated towns along the onshore route. According to the US Department of Labor, 'credible evidence exists that several villages along the route were forcibly relocated or depopulated in the months before the production-sharing agreement was signed.'76 According to an Earth Rights report: 'From 1992, until the present (2000), thousands of villagers in Burma were forced to work in support of these pipelines and related infrastructure. They lost their homes due to forced relocation and were raped, tortured and killed by soldiers hired by companies as security guards for the pipelines.'77 In addition, as the largest foreign investment project in Burma, the pipelines will provide revenue to prop up the regime, perhaps for decades to come.
Shortly before the US presidential election, Dick Cheney admitted on the Larry King Live! show that Halliburton had done contract work in Burma. Cheney defended the project by saying that Halliburton had not broken the US law imposing sanctions on Burma, which forbids new investments in the country. 'You have to operate in some very difficult places and oftentimes in countries that are governed in a manner that's not consistent with our principles here in the United States,' Cheney told Larry King. 'But the world's not made up only of democracies.' Halliburton's engagement in Burma predates Dick Cheney's tenure as CEO. Halliburton had an office in Rangoon as early as 1990, two years after the military regime took power by voiding the election of the National League for Democracy, the party of Aung San Suu Kyi. In the early 1990's, Halliburton Energy Services joined with Alfred McAlpine (UK) to provide pre-commissioning services to the Yadana pipeline. In 1997, after Dick Cheney joined Halliburton, the Yadana field developers hired European Marine Services (EMC) to lay the 365-kilometer offshore portion of the Yadana gas pipeline. EMC is a 50-50 joint venture between Halliburton and Saipem of Italy. From July to October 1997, EMC installed the 360-inch diameter line using its pipelaying barges. The route followed by Halliburton and Saipem was chosen by the Burmese government to minimize costs, even though the onshore pipeline path would cut through politically sensitive areas inhabited by ethnic minorities in the Tenasserim region of Burma. Given the Burmese military's well-documented history of human rights violations and brutality, human rights groups say the western companies knew or should have known that human rights crimes would accompany Burmese troops into the onshore pipeline region. They say there was ample evidence in the public domain that such violations were already occurring when Halliburton chose to lay pipe for the project. As Katie Redford, a lawyer with EarthRights International puts it, 'To be involved in the Yadana pipeline is to knowingly accept brutal violations of human rights as part of doing business.'
The US Navy announced in June 2003 that it had awarded Halliburton a $12.5 million contract to build new troop facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba where suspected al Qaeda prisoners are being held and may be tried before military tribunals.78 This is in addition to the $33 million contract it received to build the US detention camp where 641 Al-Qaida suspects are being illegally detained and denied the basic rights guaranteed to Prisoners of War under the Third Geneva Convention. Reports suggest that they are being subjected to 'torture lite' – being deprived of sleep and subjected to constant bright light.79 The new contract, awarded to subsidiary, Brown & Root Services, will build sleeping quarters as well as dining facilities for troops, construct traffic control checkpoints, and reinforce detention buildings in case of extreme weather, the Pentagon said.
Dick Cheney lobbied to remove Congressional sanctions against aid to Azerbaijan, sanctions imposed because of concerns about ethnic cleansing. Cheney said the sanctions were the result only of groundless campaigning by the Armenian-American lobby. In 1997, Halliburton subsidiary Brown & Root bid on a major Caspian project from the Azerbaijan International Operating Company.80
Halliburton had extensive investments and contracts in Suharto's Indonesia. One of its contracts was cancelled by the post-Suharto government during a purging of corruptly awarded contracts. Indonesia Corruption Watch named Kellogg Brown & Root (Halliburton's engineering division) among 59 companies using collusive, corruptive and nepotistic practices in deals involving former President Suharto's family.81
Dick Cheney has lobbied against the current government Iran-Libya Sanctions Act which prohibits US corporations from virtually all trade and investment with Iran. Even with the Act in place, Halliburton has continued to operate in Iran. The company opened an office in Iran via its Cayman Island subsidiary, Halliburton Products and Services Ltd. Two major investors, the New York City Police and Fire Pension funds, have asked Halliburton to review its operations in Iran because of corporate ties to states sponsoring terrorist activities. Halliburton settled with the Department of Commerce in 1997, before Cheney became CEO, over allegations relating to Iran for $15,000, without admitting any wrongdoing.82
Dick Cheney cited multilateral sanctions against Iraq as an example of sanctions he supported. During the 2000 presidential campaign, Cheney said Halliburton did business with Libya and Iran through foreign subsidiaries, but maintained he had imposed a 'firm policy' against trading with Iraq. 'Iraq's different,' the Post quoted him as saying. Despite this it was subsequently revealed that Halliburton had signed contracts with Iraq worth $73 million while Cheney was at the helm.83 Since the decision to invade Iraq was made public, people have come to accept the inevitability of the reconstruction process. However, a story reported in the Wall Street Journal on the 16th of January claimed that the vice president's office met with Halliburton and members of other companies as far back as October 2002 to plan oil production in Iraq.84 So far, Halliburton has gained $500 million worth of work in Iraq. The ceiling of how much it could potentially earn in its contract with the US Army Corps of Engineers currently stands at $7billion.85
Before Cheney's arrival, Halliburton was deeply involved in Libya, earning $44.7 million there in 1993. After sanctions on Libya were imposed, earnings dropped to $12.4 million in 1994. Halliburton continued doing business in Libya throughout Cheney's tenure. One Member of Congress accused the company 'of undermining American foreign policy to the full extent allowed by law.'86
Local villagers have accused Halliburton of complicity in the shooting of a protester by Nigeria's Mobile Police Unit, playing a similar role to Shell and Chevron in the mobilisation of the 'kill and go' unit to protect company property. Additionally, in May 2003, Halliburton subsidiary, Kellogg Brown & Root, revealed to the Securities and Exchange Commission that it paid bribes totalling $2.4 million to a tax official in Nigeria in an effort to obtain favourable tax treatment. The company may have to pay as much as $5 million in back taxes to the Nigerian government.87
Corporate corruption
In April 2002 Halliburton decided to replace the discredited Arthur Anderson LLP accounting firm with KPMG LLP. This is despite CEO Dave Lesar's claim that 'for more than 50 years Andersen has provided Halliburton with outstanding audit services and adhered to a high standard of professionalism'.88
A brief look at Anderson's history suggests that Lesar's definition of 'professionalism' is slightly unusual. The accounting firm was ordered to pay $500,000 and sentenced to five years probation in October 2002 for obstructing justice in a probe of its client Enron.89 This was in addition to a $7 million fine in June 2002, the biggest civil penalty ever assessed against a Big Five accounting firm, after the SEC said its audits of Waste Management's financial statements were 'false and misleading.' Anderson also provided a change in accounting rules enabling Halliburton to collect on cost overruns on myriad construction projects. This meant that Halliburton was able to inflate profits by $234 million over a four-year period. When the Securities and Exchange Commission found out, more than a dozen law suits emerged alleging fraud and they began an ongoing probe for questionable accounting practices. 90 According to the Government Accounting Office (GAO), Halliburton has also seriously overrun its budget in Bosnia by almost £300 million. The GAO suspects foul play.91
Attempting to avoid paying-up for asbestos claims
Since 1976, approximately 578,000 asbestos claims have been filed against Halliburton.92 In December 2002, the company reached a settlement for around $4.2 billion under which it will have to legally restructure, followed by pre-packaged bankruptcy filings of DII Industries and Kellogg Brown & Root Inc.
Unfortunately, Halliburton itself won't be bankrupted by these claims as most of the costs will be covered by Halliburton's liability insurance. However, they could seriously affect share prices as Moody's Investor Services are considering cutting Halliburton's share ratings.93
However, it seems as though Halliburton's cosy connections could have got them off this one. The idea of limiting asbestos liability has been kicking around in Congress for years and the company has contributed more than $100,000 to legislators who support the notion. Cheney even kicked in $13,500 when he was a corporate officer.94
Security lapses and radioactive leaks at nuclear dockyard
Halliburton runs Devonport Management Ltd (DML). DML has controlled the Devonport dockyards in Plymouth (South West England) since they were privatised in 1985. It is here that the UK's Trident nuclear submarines are currently being refitted and four are decommissioned.
A Red Pepper article revealed the threat posed to the health and safety of the people of Plymouth by the negligence of DML and the UK government, who have allowed increased levels of radioactive pollution (tritium) to leak into the River Tamar, and have failed to mend the serious cracks in the coolant systems of the UK's nuclear submarines.95

Fruit Ninja plushies coming soon to a wrapped gift near you
Angry Birds can't have all the fun, right? Halfbrick Studios is set to embrace the iOS marketing frenzy by releasing a pair Fruit Ninja plush toys. The sensei and a smiling (or is that sliced?) watermelon in a branded headband will introduce the series. The sensei is available right now on the company's web store for US$15.99, while the watermelon will be available "soon" for just a buck less.
I have to admit, these are pretty darn cute. Halfbrick Studios is not only a talented set of game designers, but a really nice group of folks as well. Does this mean we'll soon be getting a Jetpack Backpack from Jetpack Joyride? I don't know how cuddly a sliced watermelon is, but Fruit Ninja is a great game, and I wouldn't mind having one of these guys under my tree come this holiday season.

A little girl lie asleep in bed Enjoying the dreams within her head She dreamed that she was in a cloud Then heard an angel call aloud Her name once more She knew she'd heard that voice before Then there before her stood a figure all Wrapped in white with wings much bigger For a moment she felt she couldnt breathe She knew her prayer had been recieved That god had sent a guardian angel To guide her as her life went fatal He came to take her in her sleep He couldnt stand to watch her weep He had to take away her pain He knew she had no more to gain That night the girl had passed away In heaven she will always stay

There are times when our better nature show through. During times of crisis, when neighbors are helping neighbors — that's one of those times. Then there are the times when we help people we don't even know because, well, we know it's the right thing to do.
If the city of Las Vegas wishes to promote a recycling program, the receiving site does little to encourage people.
There have been few times in the last several years when bins have not been overflowing and cans, newspapers and plastic containers scattered around. I have made numerous trips to the office of the city manager to register my concern.
Now that President Obama has ended his first year in office, it is time to evaluate. As human rights activists, we were hopeful that the president would bring change to U.S. foreign policy regarding the "war on terror," Guantanamo Bay and torture, but his actions have fallen way short.
Last week, state Rep. Eleanor Chavez, D-Albuquerque, wrote on Facebook that she held a town hall with her constituents. She said they told her they opposed a food tax and education cuts, wanted to close corporate loopholes and pushed reform of the tax structure.
She said she walked away impressed.
Wait a minute. State lawmakers hold town halls?
Apparently, some do. Our lawmakers held one at Luna Community College in the summer, but they haven't held one in the months leading up to the annual legislative session, which starts this week.
The West Las Vegas Valley Elementary and Middle School would like to express our appreciation to the following businesses and people for their donations and support in helping to make our winter concert and winter festivities a success: Walgreens, Community First Bank, Elks Lodge, Walmart, Christine Ludi, Rep. and Mrs. Richard Vigil and Mr. and Mrs. Tony Vigil Jr.

Thumbs DOWN to ... A BAD THUMB. Last week we paid tribute to the Robertson High School boys' basketball team championship at the Stu Clark Tournament, intending to give the Cardinals a thumbs up for their accomplishment. But we went the wrong direction and accidentally used a down thumb instead, thereby leading some of our readers to a bad impression.
In reporting the story on John Roybal, the words allegation and allegedly were used loosely. The word "fact," I believe, did not appear. Here are some points to consider.
At this time we would like to thank the jury for their time and verdict, the Fourth District Attorney Richard Flores, Chief Deputy Assistant District Attorney Tom Clayton, State Prosecutor Amber Hirsch, other members for the district attorney's office who followed up during the hearings leading up the the trail and the Las Vegas Police Department detectives and offices who took part in the investigation of this crime.
The prosecution team did an awesome job in presenting the case for the family and friends of the victim Timoteo M. Jaramillo.

On Primary Day In South Carolina, Even Weddings Get Political
Originally published on Sat January 21, 2012 6:50 pm
There are water fountains, park benches, churches and expensive restaurants and then there are presidential candidates' headquarters, now making the list of places to take wedding photos.
Especially if you're a part of this wedding party getting hitched on primary day in South Carolina.
NPR's Don Gonyea tweeted this photo of the bride and her bridesmaids while preparing to cover the results of Saturday's first-in-the-South vote.
The wedding couple are holding their service in a chapel next door to Santorum's headquarters, which is on the campus of Citadel in Charleston. In a state currently in the spotlight of the GOP presidential primary race, even they couldn't resist adding a political backdrop to their wedding day album.

The family of spinel compounds of which CdCr2Se4is the prototype has been found to be simultaneously ferromagnetic and semiconducting. Numerous experiments reveal, moreover, that the electronic states in these materials are strongly coupled to the degree of magnetic order. The interaction between the electronic transport and the magnetic state offers the exciting possibility of constructing electronic devices having magnetic control. This paper presents a review of literature on the magnetic, crystallographic, electrical transport, and optical properties of the chromium chalcogenide spinels as they relate to device applications. The prospects of realizing novel devices utilizing these properties are examined.

FSG's Year Of Owning Liverpool Marked By "Progress," "Feel-Good Optimism"
Published October 14, 2011
LONG WAY TO THE TOP: Henry admitted Thursday night Liverpool is "still a long way behind" EPL club Manchester United and "that it could take years to get the club where it needed to be." In London, Ian Herbert notes Henry "subtly echoed" Ayre's contention that clubs should be allowed to negotiate their own int'l TV deals when he "insisted that Liverpool's proposed new or expanded stadium was not the 'game-changer' that" former club Managing Dir Christian Purslow once suggested. Henry: "(The stadium) is not the full solution. Barcelona and Real Madrid are dominant clubs because they are able to maximise all aspects of the revenue generation. We have to try to do that as well. It's an important component" (London INDEPENDENT, 10/14). Also in London, Jim White writes, "Make no mistake, Henry and his team are not here for the long-term benefit of English football. ... They are here for the long-term benefit of New England Sports Ventures. Sure, their ownership might also result in long-term economic benefit for Liverpool FC. But they have no interest in maintaining the wider strength and continuity of the English game" (London TELEGRAPH, 10/14).
STAYING HOME: In Boston, gossip columnists Fee, Raposa & Johnson report Henry on Thursday "canceled his trip to England to watch his Liverpool footballers take on" ManU. Henry and his wife were "set to hop across the pond" Friday to join Liverpool investor and Heat F LeBron James to watch Saturday's match (BOSTON HERALD, 10/14). James will attend a Liverpool match "for the first time since he became a minority owner" the club (ESPN.com, 10/13). In Boston, Steve Buckley writes it would be nice if Red Sox ownership "thought a little less about globalization and more about the die-hards who care more about good baseball." Buckley: "The Sox' owners have a right to make money, just as they have a right to have outside interests." But Buckely notes, "Red Sox fans don't want soccer thrown in their faces. They don't want auto racing. And moving forward, the only way they're going to buy into the 'Red Sox Forever' ad campaign is if the Red Sox are forever about baseball" (BOSTON HERALD, 10/14).

Happy New Year everyone and welcome to 2015! Marin mama is back! I honestly can't believe that it's been over a month since I last posted. I mean I really feel like a lame food blogger! I didn't mean to take such a long break, but life and work got in the way, and thus the blog got put on the back burner. My commitment, or should I say resolution for this upcoming year is to make the blog a priority again. I know I've said it before, but I'm serious this time. I really miss cooking, creating, writing and talking to you all, so this is the year that Marin mama gets launched, oh yeah! I'm not sure entirely what that means, but I have lots of ideas that I will share with you all over the next few months. I'm excited for 2015 and enthusiastic to get out in the community more and expand and grow Marin Mama Cooks!
You're probably wondering why am I starting off the new year with a popover post when most food bloggers are focusing on healthy detoxing foods. I thought about inventing a new kale salad or some sort of quinoa dish, but honestly I just wasn't in the mood to really create and eat anymore kale or quinoa. I'm still kale obsessed as always, but lately I've been craving soups, meats and carbs, and thus that's what I've been cooking up. I listen to my body and my cravings, as my body is usually telling me what it needs, and right now it wants winter comfort foods!
So since I'm a bit of a carbaholic, I decided to play around with one of my favorite carbs, popovers! I love experimenting with popovers, as it actually relaxes me in a strange way. I wanted to create a slightly sweet popover for snack time, breakfast and/or brunch. I had an orange handy and thought to myself, why not try tossing in some orange zest. Verdict, the kids love them, as well as a few of their peeps that I had be the guinea pigs. These popovers have a touch of sweetness and are the perfect afternoon snack for the kiddos, or a great breakfast and/or brunch addition. Serve them up warm from the oven plain, or open them up and slather their insides with some jam or butter. Yum!

Reminder: You must attest to demonstrating meaningful use every year to receive an incentive and avoid a Medicare payment penalty.

Update on E-Prescribing
As the March 27th effective date for New York's mandate on physicians to electronically prescribe medications approaches, there are extensive activities underway to urge the Legislature to enact a one year extension of the deadline. Significant challenges with EMR readiness, nursing home, long term care and home care readiness, and residency training program procedures have been identified that will impact care delivery if the deadline remains in effect.
All of these issues, in addition to the challenges private practices face with the transformation to e-prescribing from paper based systems or from EMR systems that are not compatible with the new rules, have been the focus of much public discussion during the Legislature's budget hearings and in one on one meetings with legislative leaders. This week the Senate passed a one year extension of the deadline, and a companion bill in the Assembly was reported out of the Health Committee and will go to the Assembly floor for a vote when they return to session after the President's Week break.
NYACP Meets with NYS DOH Patient Safety Center
On January 26th, the Chapter met with key representatives from the New York State Department of Health's Patient Safety Center to (1) share the Chapter's mission of quality and patient safety, education and advocacy and (2) share NYACP's interest in exploring collaborative opportunities in the area of patient engagement and quality improvement. Tobacco cessation, shared decision making, and pre-surgical clearance were a few of the topics discussed. The Chapter's Near Miss Registry under the ACP PSO was also of great interest, since it has evolved significantly from its initial demonstration under the confidentiality protections of the Department several years ago.
NYS Meningococcal Vaccine Bill
On January 30th the Chapter met with other interested stakeholders to review a legislative proposal that would add meningococcal immunizations to the list of other required immunizations a child would receive before entering the 6th grade and a booster dose before entering 11th grade in New York State. The legislation has been introduced by Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther and a Senate bill is expected soon. Planned activities include two advocacy days on February 25 and on April 21 to raise awareness and promote support for the legislation, timed to align with recognition of World Meningitis Day on April 24, 2015.

The United Progressive Alliance government has not only done anything to stop the upward spiral of inflation, but is also guilty of pushing prices further northwards through taxation, the BJP alleged on Tuesday.
Party spokesman Prakash Javadekar charged the Union and Delhi governments with using the coming Commonwealth Games as an excuse to levy higher taxes and give a push to inflation at a time when the common man was reeling under the double-digit inflation that had especially hit food articles.
Through hikes in petrol and diesel prices and other taxes in the Union budget, the Centre imposed a burden of about Rs. 50,000 crore on the people. Now, the Delhi government had presented its budget and once again the Commonwealth Games was cited to further hike taxes on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), diesel, compressed natural gas (CNG) and a host of other articles of daily use, Mr. Javadekar said.
Debate on prices
The recent debate on prices in Parliament had educated people and they now know that the present inflation was not the result of worldwide rise in prices of food or of high procurement price offered to farmers. Instead, it was the direct outcome of a faulty government policy, he said.
The party blamed speculative trade in commodities for high prices of food items even when there was no real shortage. And, for this, the Centre would have to take the blame.
After presenting the budget, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee estimated that the inflationary impact of the proposals would be to the tune of 0.4 per cent. "But, we say the inflation as a result of the budget would be ten-fold at 4 per cent," Mr. Javadekar said.
While the BJP-ruled States were offering wheat and rice to poor families at affordable rates ranging from Re. 1 to Rs. 3 a kg, the Centre only talked about food security and done nothing, Mr. Javadekar said.
Keywords: United Progressive Alliance, BJP, 2010 Commonwealth Games, Pranab Mukherjee, food inflation, raising food prices

Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis believes the board at Selhurst Park deserve much of the credit for the Eagles' impressive league position, reports Sky Sports.
Palace are 12th in the table, and look to be on course to secure their first ever Premier League survival, and manager Pulis has received many plaudits for the upturn in fortunes at the club since his arrival in November.
Palace have a seven point lead over any club in the relegation spots, and Pulis has even been suggested as a potential Manager of the Year candidate by Aston Villa incumbent Paul Lambert, but the former Stoke boss has insisted that some of the credit should go to his club's board.
He said: "I'll be absolutely delighted if we can stay up. Especially to do it for the supporters who have been excellent at the club, and the four directors have got to take a lot of credit.
"They've bought the club when it was in a lot of trouble and they've seen it through to promotion to the Premier League. And if we do it, they deserve a lot of credit too.
"Everton have been on a strong run but I don't really worry too much about them, all I care about is us and what we need to do to get a result."
Palace have been relegated from the top flight four times since the Premier League's inauguration in 1992, and so survival in the competition would add a new chapter in the club's history books.
Pulis replaced former Eagles boss Ian Holloway, who left in order to make way for a manager who felt he could guide the London outfit to survival.

Based upon some of the posts on others sites, there is are a lot of people that do not think too highly of Rift. In fact, I have seen a lot more "Rift is awful" posts then the opposite.
As to making STO "like Rift", no thanks. Cryptic has made great strides in the right direction with STO. I do not wish them to change direction when so much is already going right.
However, if you really like Rift...go play it. Afterall, no one is keeping you here.

No services planned for 28th anniversary of loss of Challenger crew
But in many schoolrooms, teachers will take the opportunity to talk about the Challenger mission and New Hampshire's crew member who often said: "I touch the future. I teach." She took such delight in gaining the opportunity to teach from space and encouraged her students, saying: "May your future be limited only by your dream."
Elsewhere in the country, the foundation started in April 1986 by the family members of the lost Challenger crew continues to open Challenger Centers for Space Science Education.
The center is not a museum and is not open to the public. It provides teacher professional development and learning opportunities to middle school students. The McAuliffe Center's Challenger Mission Simulation and Planetarium programs are designed to work in a formal education setting under the direction of a middle school classroom teacher.

It's Karen Memory book day!
*Oils up the shiny hype machine.* *Brings it to pressure.* *Checks that all gears are functional.*
So I wrote this book, see?
It's a steampunk adventure set in a fictional city in the Pacific Northwest during the Alaskan Gold Rush.
It stars a young woman who goes by the house name of Prairie Dove, which should give you an idea what she does for a living. She's kind of a badass, and she has badass friends. But rather than natter on about it, I'm going to give you a link to an excerpt!
And my Big Idea post on the subject.
And a post over at Aidan Moher's A Dribble of Ink on the subject of Soiled Doves and stereotypes.
Karen Memory can be purchased at Barnes and Noble, Amazon (Kindle), Amazon, and at your preferred local or online retailer. (Or they can order it for you.) The ebook is available through Kobo and the rest of the usual suspects.
There will be an audiobook from Recorded Books, which should be available soon!
Karen Memory has been getting fantastic reviews, including a starred review from Library Journal. It's #6 in the Kindle store for Steampunk this morning, and I've promised to humiliate myself on the internet if it goes to #1.
It's a book and I'm thrilled!
As I write this, Karen Memory is the #12 steampunk book on Amazon. I learned this morning that it's already been sent back for a rush reprint. because the first run sold out, and honestly, I'd love for Karen to be the #1 steampunk book on Amazon. So if you are an Amazon shopper, and you were planning on buying the book anyway,
If you are not an Amazon shopper and you want to read Karen Memory, please do order it through your library, preferred online retailer, or–best of all!–local retailer!
It formally goes on sale tomorrow, though there are scattered reports of it being on some bookstore shelves already.
Yesterday I also learned that I had four things on the Locus recommended reading list for 2014. Those four things are The Steles of the Sky, "The Hand is Quicker," "Covenant," and "This Chance Planet." truepenny's glorious The Goblin Emperor is on there, too, and scott_lynch's delightful "A Year and a Day in Old Theradane."
And a lot of other really awesome stuff as well.
And stillsostrange and I ran 13.1 miles in Galveston yesterday, and then went out dancing last night with Austin friends.
Er. Two book slide, make that. My weapon of choice offers no greater physical harm than papercuts, and maybe a bump on the head if you're careless. But I feel like a John Woo character right now, for certain.
Finally, finally, finally. Karen Memory comes out next week. Tuesday, to be sure, though it's available for pre-order now, and those numbers count towards the first week. It's a great big shiny Weird West steampunk adventure about a girl, a battle mecha built out of a sewing machine, and a really annoying deaf white cat. Among some other things.
It's getting consistently better reviews than anything I've ever done before.
And, finally, Shattered Pillars is available in long-awaited trade paperback right now! Already! As you are reading this! (Steles of the Sky will be joining it this summer.)
Buy my book!
Get out your notebooks, guys, I've got a lot of news.
Save the date-type object! I will be appearing at Pandemonium Books in Central Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts at 7 pm on THURSDAY FEBRUARY 12th (That's Boskone Eve) for a Karen Memory book launch! My beloved Scott Lynch will be with me, shilling his own stuff!
There will be cookies!
Also, Cynthia Sheppard, my awesome cover artist, just won the IBA Grand Prize for her cover art for said Karen Memory! Not bad, not bad at all!
Also, I finished a draft of "The Bone War" today and wrote nearly 3,000 words doing it. My butt hurts. But I'm very pleased with how it seems to be coming out/shaping up. It's a Bijou story, it involves paleontologists and making fun of academics, and I'll let you know when you can read it somewhere!
Here is the tea that helped:
It's Upton gen mai cha, and I bought the teacup in Iceland. Because I'm somebody who has been to Iceland now.
Winter is finally here, speaking of ice (see what a good segue that was?!), and the cold made the windows pretty last night, I brought some proof.
Another very fine review of Karen Memory by Russell Letson in this month's Locus. It's not online, but here's my favorite bit:
"Karen Memory is a delight, a tour-de-force of historical reimagining and character creation, and a ripping yarn full of surprises…"
I'll take it!

The Gold Rush town of Rapid City is just about what you would expect in a frontier community catering to the mining trade: rough, violent, and full of prostitutes. Karen is a "soiled dove" working at Madame Damnable's establishment, where she and her sisters in trade serve a more respectable crowd than the poor girls who work the cribs at the waterfront. When one of those young women escapes and runs to Madame's for help, she brings the wrath of the crib owner, Peter Bantle, on the house. Bantle, in addition to bring a vicious bully, seems to have a device that can control people's minds.
Verdict Bear (Steles of the Sky; Blood and Iron) pumps fresh energy in the steampunk genre with a light touch on the gadgetry and a vivid sense of place. Karen has a voice that is folksy but true, and the entire cast of heroic women doing the best they can in an age that was not kind to their gender is a delight. Ably assisted by a U.S. Marshal and his Comanche posseman, Karen and the ladies kick ass.
Also on the morning wire–actually, this is a couple of days old, but I was at Windycon trying to be charming when it broke–Steles of the Sky is one of the Kirkus 100 Best Books for 2014!
Is this what it's like to have a healthy relationship with Kirkus?
I like it. I really like it.

NEW YORK (AP) — Emma Bing, the inspiration for the pregnancy bible "What to Expect When You're Expecting," has given birth in Los Angeles to a boy.
Lennox Page Ali, whose father is musician Russell Ali, was born Tuesday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, weighing in at 5 pounds, 15 ounces, family spokeswoman Heidi Schaeffer said.
"Mother and child are doing very well and grandparents Heidi and Erik Murkoff are ecstatic," gushed Schaeffer.
Heidi Murkoff was pregnant with Emma when she wrote the proposal for her book, which sparked a franchise of pregnancy and parenting manuals. "What to Expect" has more than 17 million copies in print.
Bing has been blogging her pregnancy experiences, along with fashion and beauty advice, for her fellow millennial moms on Whattoexpect.com.

Seith has completed online and offline ID verification.
Staying at Seith apartment provided us a great stay in NY. Very well connected, area full of bars and restaurants, i would definitely go back there when I' m in the city.
I never met Seith but I felt that the apartment was perfect for eastvillage. I asked for extra keys and they were waiting for me when I got there. Had a great time. Apartment was warm and showers great.
Seith left extra keys as requested, this apartment is even bigger then the pictures show, warm and a good layout. beds were comfortable and two bathrooms were great for everyone getting ready at the same time. great space. We had a great time there. perfect location for east village.
The place was awesome! Very spacious, very clean, very warm (especially in the winter) and just walking distance to a bunch of places (St.Park's place, multiple restaurants, and Tompkins Sq Park). The apt. itself is on the third floor and the elevator works. It had a comfy bed in the bedroom and Seith even provided another full sized bed. The fridge and kitchen was perfect just in case you need it.I'd recommend just going to 1st avenue and you will find just about anything on or right off there. Seith and his wife were very helpful in finding the place and key. Would definitely recommend staying at the place.
Perfectly fine apartment, basic but had everything one needed.
Appartamento molto bello e funzionale in uno dei quartieri più vivaci di Manhattan. Seith ha risposto con velocità a tutte le nostre richieste.
Seith's home was clean, accommodating and exactly as it appears in the photos. The neighbourhood is great. Seith was responsive and there were no problems accessing the apartment or finding anything I needed. Thanks! I would recommend it.
Seith was great, but the accomodation was just OK. Read below so you know exactly what you're getting in to. Seith quickly came to help us when we got to the apartment on day 1 when the lockbox with our keys for the studio was empty (imagine the heartattack!). We were given 3 sets of keys but 1 set didn't open the door to the studio (our friend slept on couch in common room until we returned from a nite out, she left her phone in room) Bathroom is split w toilet and shower which are both in a common area (I was surprised by an arriving couple only wearing my towel...). Shower is basically a door and then the shower. No room to get changed and it gives to a common area. So it's not "shared" but it's not private. Bedroom was fine but freezing. Thank goodness for the electric heater. There was an effort to put plastic on the windows, but cold air still came through. East Village area though is great with tons of restos and bars. This place was not too far from subway. And the noise in the evening didnt bother us much. Our stay was OK. I would have spent a few more dollars to have something a bit more comfortable, with my own private bathroom and kitchen.
I am so sorry you had a crappy experience and I ran over as soon as I heard that you had problem with the keys. The previous people didnt leave the keys in the lockbox so thats why the confusion. They had also opened the window that has the AC installed which we now resealed. Sorry you had to deal with all this... The bathrooms are private but the kitchen is shared for this apartment. Its a studio which means that the living room and bedroom are the same room. We have the upstairs unit which is 2 bedrooms which means there is a 3rd living room and its own kitchen. And the third unit in the building is a duplex so there are 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a full separate floor for living space and extra kitchen. So even though officially the kitchen on the studio floor is shared, in practice the other two units in the building have their own kitchens as well.
This apartment is a great choice if you want to stay in the heart of the East Village. The apartment is fairly basic but when you're in New York why would you stay indoors? There are so many things to do and see nearby and there are plenty of transport options available. Seith was very flexible and easy to deal with, and was very responsive.
Seith's place was very good value for money and Seith was a great host, who was very flexible. A couple of small things to note - - the stairs into the place are quite steep - the kitchen and bathroom are in an area which is actually a shared area with an upstairs apartment, although I only saw the other tenant there once in my 2 day stay Great value for money in a great location!
This was a super last minute reservation for one night on the same day. Some last minute cleaning was necessary, since my other guests just left , but I hope Seith and his friends had a good experience.
Very Experienced AirBNBer. Thank you for staying. I recommend Seith to anyone!
It was a pleasure to host Seith and his friends. Very easy to communicate and apartment was clean after they left. I definitely will be happy to accommodate again. Thank you
Seith konnte ich leider, auf Grund meines eigenen Urlaubs, nicht persönlich kennenlernen. Meine Eltern, welche mich in meiner Abwesenheit vertraten, waren aber von der zuvorkommenden, freundlichen und kommunikativen Wesensart sehr angetan und waren von der überaus ordentlichen und sauberen Lebensart von Seith und seiner netten Begleitung ganz begeistert. Wir freuen uns immer über Gäste die unsere Apartments mit einer solchen Wertschätzung behandeln und hinterlassen. Seith steht unsere Tür jederzeit wieder offen, wir sehen seinem erneuten Besuch mit Freude entgegen und danken auf diese Art nochmals. Liebe Grüße aus Berlin nach New York sendet Dir Axel

Lippi concerned by Zidane's form
06 Jul 2006 - 12:01:26
Italy coach Marcello Lippi has admitted he is worried about the form of Zinedine Zidane ahead of Sunday's World Cup final against France.
The veteran playmaker performed poorly in the group stage of the tournament, but has since produced some inspirational displays to guide Les Bleus to the final.
Lippi worked with Zidane when he was in his prime at Juventus and is well aware of the damage the 34-year-old could do to the Azzurri's hopes of a first World Cup triumph since 1982.
"It will be a difficult game, yet certainly a balanced one seeing as both sides equal each other on the pitch," said Lippi, after watching France's 1-0 semi-final victory against Portugal.
"We saw the game and it confirmed to us how much France have grown in the tournament since their first two games.
"As they have gone on, they have found their best condition and have rediscovered their best Zidane.
"Nevertheless, we're going for victory."
The match will be a rerun of the Euro 2000 final, which France came from behind to win 2-1 thanks to a last-minute equaliser from Sylvain Wiltord and a golden goal by David Trezeguet.

I'm done with this sh*t thread. Too many delusional pr*cks in here.
You are viewed as retarded so I think other posters need to be reminded of the low level of intellect they are dealing with. You are confusing accomplishments with fighters talent. David DIaz, Margarito, and Cotto at 145, combined with Manny's losses, make his WHOLE resume, not just his peak, worse than Whitaker's.

Thanks for the advice.
Normally I like DIY solutions to issues like this, but as long as I can take advantage of Amazon cross-shipping a brand new unit I might as well take advantage of it. Given that it's been less than two weeks, I'd rather be safe than sorry on this one (I've waited on returning items in the past with an "I can live with this" attitude only to regret it later). The replacement is arriving tomorrow, and I imagine it'll work just fine. |
Does this projector go on sale regularly at Newegg, Amazon?
I saw last week it was $700, but this week it's back up to $800. |
What is the farthest away can the BenQ W1070 be from a 120" screen and still maintain a high quality image?
Thanks |
Thanks niccolo,
One more question that is important to me. I had my 37" LCD Vizio stolen so I did some research and bought a 51" Samsung plasma. I then decided I wanted a bigger screen and Samsung has a 64" plasma that I can't afford and someone on this forum suggested a Projector for bigger screen size and I have been reading on projectors for days now and want one with a 120" screen, sure beats a 64 Here's the rub, I have been collecting DVD movies for six years now and almost have 2000 movies which I'm not going to get rid of. I calibrated mt Vizio LCD and I thought my DVD's looked really good and then on the plasma they looked even better. I output the DVD's from a Tioshiba upconverting DVD player at 1920 x1080 24p to my Samsung plasma which has a option which is "cinema smooth" which I leave on and my picture looks fantastic and smooth motion Some people think I'm playing HD movies they look so good. My question is with the projector am I going to be able to obtain the same results with my dvd's on a 120" screen? |
I just started researching projectors and I swear, this thing seems like the holy grail of projectors! Lol. If i mount it above my couch on a standard height ceiling, will I hear the fan? I know the bulbs have some crazy high hour rating but can someone tell me how long they last in real world scenarios? Coming from a 65 inch viera plasma, am I going to want to punch the picture quality in the mouth sitting 11 feet away at 100 inches in a dark room? Thanks for any answers!
I have mine mounted right above my head at the MLP, and at the volumes I listen at, typically between -20 and -15, I hardly ever notice it unless it's during a really quiet scene, 95% of the time I never notice the fan noise, and I exclusively use Smart Eco mode. Mine's been going strong at about 750 hours right now, I think some people on here have claimed up to 3000 hours or so. I'm not familiar with the viera line of plasmas, but coming from my Panny plasma I definitely noticed a decrease in black level, outside of that though, the picture quality if phenomenal. I sit about 10 feet from a 110" and absolutely love it.
why cant i get to choose the user 3? i just can use 1 and 2, the 3 is not working!
This chromatic aberration is normal for this projector. In addition, the projector doesn't seem to be able to focus perfectly across the full screen when mounted at distances other than the shortest possible throws (which is counterintuitive, one would expect it to be the other way around). But in real-world use, the image it throws is excellent. So I think this falls into the category of calibrating one's expectations, not equipment.
I just purchased a house that has a projector setup in the basement. Current projector is a Sony 3lcd aw-15. I picked up the 1070 from the amazon deal last week before getting the keys because I didnt know what kind of condition the sony was in and i didnt want to miss out on the deal. The Sony is projecting on a 106" fixed elite screen. Lighting is completely controlled. The Sony is ceiling mounted about 10 1/2 ft from the screen and seating is about 12 ft away. Ceiling height is only 7' with the drop ceiling installed. There is about 10 inches from ceiling to screen and 18 inches from floor to screen.
Im currently debating whether I should swap out the Sony for the BenQ. I have had a chance to fire up the Sony and it appears to be in good working order but Ive never had a projector before and I wouldn't know if the picture im looking at is awesome or just average. Im torn, any suggestions? And given the above room dimensions and existing screen size, would the BenQ work well in my current setup? Could it be mounted in the current position of the Sony or would i be better off changing the location? Thanks in advance for any and all advice! |
Thanks for the info on the chromatic abrasion. I have been wondering about that. I now have 252 hours of operation.
It took me along time to get the geometry square with the screen and as much focus as possible. I can see all the squares but it's true that the the outer most edges are not as in focus as the center. I assume this is the best the tiny lens can do? My old benq 8720 had a much bigger lens and I never saw the chromatic abrasion but I did have more trouble focusing the older projector. (I think this was due more to the powered focus that went in tiny steps. I needed smaller steps.) For those woried about the noise level. Don't. I have mine mounted on the ceiling right above my head with an 8 foot ceiling. It's more than acceptable air movement noise. I'll even put it in high altitude mode for more air and louder fans in the hope of extended bulb life. But I'll turn off the high altitude mode when company is over. |
I noticed that the squares on the bottom of the test pattern are not as large as the other squares in height. No matter how much I move the projector up, or down on the mount they are smaller. Is the test pattern only meant for focus and is it normal for the squares on the bottom row of the pattern to be shorter in height than the rest? All of the rest of the rows are uniform in size.
I just started researching projectors and I swear, this thing seems like the holy grail of projectors! Lol. If i mount it above my couch on a standard height ceiling, will I hear the fan? I know the bulbs have some crazy high hour rating but can someone tell me how long they last in real world scenarios? Coming from a 65 inch viera plasma, am I going to want to punch the picture quality in the mouth sitting 11 feet away at 100 inches in a dark room? Thanks for any answers!
i had way back when they came out a 56" rear projection DLP, the thing was awesome, had that cinema type picture, i currently have a 50" plasma, and i swear it kicks the DLP's LCD's and LED's right where it hurts. i LOVE my plasma, smooth, excellent black levels. that being said i wanted a DLP back, i'm building a small room in the basement, got the w1070 it's a great projector, and i don't know why everyone complains about the fan, i never hear it and always check to see if it's working and it's mounted above my seating and i don't have any audio equipment in the room, i'm using the built in speaker at the moment.
i'm 11-12 feet away from a 100" it's awesome. again the black levels aren't great, but it's a good picture. i'm happy. |
If I should have made my own thread, I apologize.
Ok, so after reading almost 10 pages of posts, I think you guys convinced me on this projector. My room is going to be a little tricky because it is not all squared up and I may have a few issues. As you can see, I have 2 front high speakers for my 7.2 system and these can't really be moved so I have to keep my screen centered. I added in red approximately where a 100" screen would be. My first question is, will that glass block wall on the right side be an issue with light coming in from the outside door in the background? My screen can not be fixed since my wife is barely on board with the idea of a projector so it has to retract to the ceiling. Most of the time we will watch at night so not a big deal. My second issue is that using benq's calculator, of a 100" screen, sitting 13 feet away, it tells me the throw should be from 8'4'' to 10'10". At 10' 6" I have a can light that is in a direct line where the center of the screen will be. What would be the ideal spot to mount the projector? (pros and cons of having to use the zoom or having it close or far?) If it is best to have it over 10' 6'', will that can light disrupt the projected image? Most of the time the light will be off so not a huge issue. (The center of screen would line up to the right side of the big couch in line with the recessed light in the picture) Lastly, Almost all of my viewing will be from a htpc via hdmi. I have a few sbs 3d mkv movies and I use XMBC (super awesome by the way!) will those 3d movies work? I was reading on here that it only does a certain refresh rate or something that may have to be changed. I am confused. Thanks for any help at all, I want to plan this thing out well in advance before I get into complications! |
