Political pundits and candidates have often spoken of the "definition of insanity" as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." Mostly, the words are used to place an opponent in an unfavorable light. However, I feel it is a better description to what we are as voters.
We fall for the same tired slogans. We believe a candidate is going to "fight for us" or "protect seniors" or "stand for veterans." Each time we believe and each time we are let down.

A lot of people in my acquaintance gave up certain things for Lent this year.
One friend focused on sugar. That's admirable and healthy besides. What happens after Easter is anyone's guess.
A relative periodically forgoes soft drinks during this period leading up to Easter. Every year she says she won't resume drinking them, but so far this hasn't held true.
Still, she makes a valiant effort for the 40 days. That's certainly more than I can boast of for even a single day.
I don't drink coffee. I don't drink alcohol. But I do drink caffeine-laden diet drinks.
Thoughts on discipline have changed drastically since I was a child.
I managed to get all the way through childhood and my teenage years with no form of punishment meted out by my father.
This isn't to say I didn't deserve it. I probably earned it more times than I ever dreamed possible, but Honey was such a kind, gentle soul that he simply couldn't bear to inflict pain, physical or any other kind, on me.
This isn't to say that I escaped the early years unscathed. In the picture also was my mother, who did not shy away from discipline.

Mark Twain is credited with saying: "If man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve the man but deteriorate the cat."
The master storyteller/author/humorist is high on my list for many things, not the least of which is his admiration for the feline.
Cats have many attributes that I find intriguing, such as their curious nature. The adage "curiosity killed the cat" obviously has merit.
If you doubt this, throw a paper sack on the floor of a room where there are several cats and watch how many try to get inside it. It can turn into a competition in a hurry.
My mother-in-law's philosophy was basically this: "If you can't say something good about somebody, don't say anything at all."
The worth of this concept becomes especially significant during political campaigns. It would be a giant step for mankind if all candidates were to embrace the thinking of the late Winnie Hollenbeck.
She truly practiced what she preached. Once when a ne'er-do-well died in her hometown, someone pondered what words of kindness might be said at his funeral.
Winnie offered this suggestion: "Well, he was the best whistler in town."
Remember when "doing one's colors" was the big thing?
Personally, I thought the concept was ridiculous. Who in her right mind would actually give money to somebody to drape a bunch of fabric in varying shades around her face and say "you're a spring" or "you're a summer"?
This would be followed by such commentary as "you can wear red (or blue or yellow or purple, etc.) because it's in your palette."
This color analysis was a huge thing for a while. I never got into it because I said I was capable of doing my colors myself with just me and my mirror.

This is the story of the denim dress that hangs in my closet. The denim dress with buttons down the front and tiers at the skirts so it flares out at the bottom. The denim dress that my mother bought for me because it looked so cute with my black cowboy boots. The denim dress that didn't even come with me when I moved to Arkansas because I am still afraid to wear it.

A renewed emphasis on healthy living currently prevails at the Saline Courier office.
This started when 11 employees bonded in an effort to reduce body mass index, lose weight and generally adapt a healthier way of living.
This is in marked contrast to the old days here when you could bring in anything close to edible, slap it down on a communal counter top and watch it start to disappear before you got back to your desk.

- condition
Uterine cancer is a disease in which cancer cells grow in the uterus, also known as the womb.
The lower portion of the uterus that is closest to the vagina is called the cervix. When cancer develops in the cervix, it is called cervical cancer.
The walls of the uterus that do not include the cervix are made of two types of lining. The endometrium is the inner lining and the myometrium is the muscular, outer lining. The most common type of uterine cancer, called adenocarcinoma, begins in the endometrium. Less common cancers, called sarcomas, begin in the myometrium. This fact sheet will focus on endometrial cancer.
Uterine CancerCopyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Cancer occurs when cells in the body, in this case uterus cells, divide without control or order. Normally, cells divide in a regulated manner. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue forms, called a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant tumors, which can invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body. A benign tumor does not invade or spread.
The exact cause of uterine cancer is unknown. Exposure to estrogen seems to be strongly related to the development of this cancer.
Factors that increase your chance of developing endometrial cancer include:
- Age: 50-60 years old
- Obesity—especially in women experiencing menopause before age 45
- High blood pressure
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
- Endometrial polyps
- Infertility
- No history of pregnancy
- Early start of menstrual periods
- Late menopause—longer exposure to estrogen
- Diabetes
- Environment: living in an urban area
If you have any of these symptoms do not assume it is due to uterine cancer. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions.
- Abnormal bleeding between menstrual periods
- Vaginal bleeding or spotting in postmenopausal women
- Pain in the pelvic area
- Pain during urination
- Pain during intercourse
- diagnosis
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A pelvic exam of the vagina, uterus, ovaries, bladder, and rectum will be done.
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Pap test
- Biopsy of the uterine lining
- Dilation and curettage (D&C)
- treatment
After uterine cancer is found, staging tests are done to find out if the cancer has spread and, if so, to what parts of the body. Treatments for uterine cancer depend on the stage of the cancer. Special instructions will be given to you about your treatment.
Treatments include:Surgery
A hysterectomy may be done to remove the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and possibly nearby lymph nodes.Radiation Therapy
This is the use of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation may be:
Hormone Therapy
- External radiation therapy—radiation directed at the tumor from a source outside the body
- Internal radiation therapy, called brachytherapy—radioactive materials placed into the body near the cancer cells
Drugs may be used to control cancer cells outside the uterus. This treatment is for women unable to have surgery, or who have recurrent cancer, or cancer that has spread.Chemotherapy
This is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be given in many forms including: pill, injection, and through a catheter. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body killing mostly cancer cells, but also some healthy cells. Chemotherapy may have limited benefit for treating endometrial cancer.
- prevention
All women should have yearly pelvic exams to monitor any changes that may signal cancer. Using oral birth control may protect against uterine cancer.

Learn A Second Language
Parlez-vous francais? Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Parli Italiano? ?Habla usted espanol? Milate Ellinika? If not, maybe it's time you do.
Why? Let us count the reasons.
- To satisfy college entrance or graduation requirements.
- To broaden career opportunities or fulfill job requirements. More businesses today need employees who can communicate with customers or clients in their native languages, and there are many environments where language skills are a definite plus. In "A Gift to My Children: a father's lessons for life and investing", Jim Rogers recommends they "learn languages (and make sure that Mandarin is one of them!)". For the younger generation, "Mandarin and English will be the most important languages in the world."
- To have a successful travel experience.
- To communicate with a new family member or friend who doesn't speak English.
- To better understand other people and cultures. Rotarians, for instance, put special emphasis on promoting international exchanges because, as they say, you don't go to war with your friends.
- To exercise your brain. Learning a second language increases the brain's capacity to learn other things. Children in foreign language programs demonstrate greater cognitive development, creativity, and stronger math and verbal skills than children not exposed to another language. Language proficiency also delays mental decline in later years.
The best time to learn a second language is by the age of 7 when the brain is more malleable and receptive to new patterns of sounds. After the age of 11, the brain sets, rather like concrete, and it is very difficult to create new circuitry for different language patterns. But, if a child grows up bilingual, it is much easier to learn additional languages even after the age of 11 because the brain has been programmed to accommodate varied language patterns. Sign language counts as a foreign language so, if a child is raised to hear and speak one language and interpret sign language at the same time, he will have much better facility with additional languages.
The library offers twenty-four educational computer games in Spanish for preschool and primary age children. Each branch has an Early Literacy Station with activities in both English and Spanish which gives children an excellent opportunity to hear Spanish. Try "Jump Start Spanish" or "La Casa de las Matematicas de Millie" in which a Spanish-speaking cow guides you through counting and adding activities. "Encarta Kids", a multi-faceted learning experience, includes "What Language Is That?", a game which allows the listener the opportunity to distinguish Swahili from Swedish and Polish from Portuguese.
Tumblebooks is an online audio program for children, with a language learning section, which they can access from the library's website. The child can choose from a number of books in French and Spanish, as well as a few Italian, Russian, and Chinese titles, to view and hear. Enjoy listening to "Lola en la Biblioteca/Lola in the Library" in Spanish as the pages of the book turn on your computer screen. Other offerings include "Les Trois Mousequetaires" in French and "Adventuras de Tom Sawyer" in Spanish.
If you are an adult learning your first second language, it may not be too late. For you, the library has recently added Mango Languages to the array of online programs. Mango Languages is similar to Rosetta Stone, frequently advertised on television and only available to home users. With Mango Languages, you learn easily by seeing phrases printed on the screen and hearing them pronounced slowly, and repeated several times. Twelve languages are available: Spanish, French, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, Greek, Italian, Russian, German, and English for speakers of Spanish, Polish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
The Pimsleur Language series, a highly regarded learning system, is available on CD for
French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
The new Playaway collection includes instruction in French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Chinese, both Mandarin and Cantonese. Playaways are self-contained audiobooks which you can wear on a lanyard and play with earbuds.
And there are many recently-added, and popular, books to help with learning French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, and sign language. Check "language instruction"or subject headings similar to "Spanish language" in the library's catalog at www.tcplweb.org to see the wide selection of materials available.

get ReactOS to sign it.
That's interesting, how did they get a key? What purpose would ReactOS making drivers for genuine Windows have?
No, seriously, I guess they just paid for it. Verisign/Symantec are selling them.
Well what the fuck. I thought they had an actually secure setup where MS vetted every kernel mode signing cert. If you can just buy one for 200$, that's just asking for rootkits.
MS can blacklist your cert, and it'll probably be a big news story if an issued code signing cert turns out to be malicious and not stolen, which will further limit the damage that can be done.
1. Buy 1000 Russian identities in bulk, make sure they are spread evenly and unrelated.
2. Buy 1000 signing certs.
3. Even if they close one, no prob.

Preble Lawrence Coburn and Pankaj Prasad, co-founders of the event solution startup DoubleDutch, have to make a significant decision about their young company's sales function. DoubleDutch's key product was a mobile application (app) and event management platform that customers could use to better engage and connect with their event participants (e.g. attendees at a conference, employees at a quarterly sales meeting), and also to obtain detailed information from these participants to deliver a better future experience, understand how the event was received, and receive large amounts of valuable data. The company was growing quickly and rapidly adding new customers, but Coburn and Prasad wanted to make sure that in the drive to add new customers, existing clients whose contracts were expiring were not "slipping through the cracks" when it came time to renew. But who within the company should be responsible for renewals? Sales? The customer success team that helped customers develop and deploy the product? Or an entirely new team dedicated solely to renewals?

Hi: 10° Lo:5°
By Chris Willmott Wednesday 24 October 2012 Updated: 01/11 10:03
THREE MEN accused of plotting a bombing campaign which could have been bigger than the 7/7 London attacks have gone on trial.
Irfan Naseer, 31, Irfan Khalid, and Ashik Ali, both aged 27, planned to set off up to eight explosive devices in crowded areas and posed as bogus charity collectors to raise money to fund their plans, a Woolwich Crown Court has heard.
Naseer, from Doris Road, Sparkhill, and Khalid, from Timbers Way, Sparkbrook, are also charged with attending a terrorist training camp in Pakistan and Nasser with assisting four younger men to travel to Pakistan for the same purpose.
All three are accused of trying to recruit others from the same city to join the plot which one described as being "another 9-11".
The men appeared before Woolwich Crown Court in a trial scheduled to last for eight to ten weeks. They deny engaging in conduct in preparation for terrorist acts.
Opening for the prosecution, Mr Brian Altman QC, described how the three were "central figures" in a case that included 11 men and one woman from Birmingham who were all charged with a variety of terrorism offences. Six have already pleaded guilty with three others due to stand trial early next year.
"The defendants were proposing to detonate up to eight rucksack bombs in a suicide attack and/or detonate bombs on timers in crowded areas in order to cause mass deaths and casualties," said Mr Altman.
"The scale," he added, "(was) probably greater than the London bombings of 2005," had police not disrupted the plot.
The defendants were said to have been influenced by al Qaeda and the Yemini-based extremist preacher Anwar Al-Awlaki who was killed by a US drone attack shortly after the men's arrest in September last year.
Mr Altman said pharmacy graduate Naseer and former security officer Khalid both unemployed at the time of their arrests - had spent two separate periods at terrorist training camps in Pakistan between March 2009 and July 2011. There they learned how to use weapons and poisons and make improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, with the intention of using their knowledge in the UK.
The court was also told that the pair had made martyrdom videos to be released by their camp colleagues in Pakistan after they had carried out suicide attacks or been killed.
This would most likely be as a result of placing bombs in rucksacks some with timers for co-ordinated explosions.
The two are accused of sharing their bomb-making knowledge with Ali, an unemployed former charity worker from Sparkbrook, shortly after they returned from their second training trip in July 2011.
The jury of six men and six women heard the trio then set about recruiting others to help them carry out an attack.
Over the weekend of September 16, 17 and 18 of 2011, Naseer, Khalid and Ali began experimenting with chemicals to make homemade explosives at Ali's one-bed council flat in White Street.
However, the alleged 'plotters' had been under close surveillance by police and the Security Service and it was at this point officers from the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit moved in to arrest them and put an end to their activities.
The trial continues.

Salad is a great way to fill your plate and your body with nutritious but lower calories foods. Unfortunately, salad is only making it onto our plates 36 times a year. Yes, that's correct. Americans are making salads for less than 10 percent of meals — a decline of 20 percent in the past 15 years.
Could it be that when you think of salad you think of iceberg lettuce? I'll admit that doesn't necessary illicit excitement in me either.
Time to break the mold! Salads make a beautiful side dish or an entire meal. And the possibilities for flavor are plentiful.
Start with the base. Experiment with new lettuces and vegetables. Try one of the mixes that come right out of the bag or carton. Or mix a new variety into your usual greens. Here are a few suggestions:
Next top it off with a mixture of vegetable, fruit and protein for visual appeal, an abundance of nutrients and a satisfied stomach.
Experiment with contrasting or complementary flavors. Combine a mild lettuce with toppings that are sweet, mild, nutty and sharp for a flavorful medley. Or combine a peppery lettuce with a few mild or mellow toppings and a sharp one to keep it interesting.
Bring back the salad! Let us know your favorite combinations.
Wishing you delicious & nutritious meals,

Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D.

salad is only making it onto our plates 36 times a year. I think think that that is not even close to enough. I think that we should have salad at least 3 to 4 times a week.
our favorite salad is: spring mix or romaine with onions, tomatoes, blueberries, raspberries, chopped fugi apple, spinach, topped with pomegranate & balsamic vinegar dressing
I for one love salads but i dont like many vegies so its a bit harder for me to fix a salad every day because i dont eat vegies that much. And the worst part about eating the salads is the dressing its bad for you but if you take it off like somepeople say do then its just blaa soo there goes your good healthy meal for the day!
I have salad with dinner almost every day. Thanks for the tips!
big garden salads for dinner are my favorite! i like to mix red leaf and romaine or ice berg as a base, then add chopped cucumbers, carrots, radishes, bell peppers, celery, sugar snap peas, and green onion, as well as grape tomatoes, and then top with some shredded mild cheddar cheese, sunflower seeds, maybe a dollop of cottage cheese OR chicken or even bacon, and finally, croutons for texture! My fave dressing with this salad is to mix up Litehouse's Original Bleu Cheese and Classic French (2 parts to 1, respectively). YUM!
As a culiary consultant, I get people healthy through fo. What we need to start teaching is alternatives to what turns to sugar in our bodies to reduce inflammation, high blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. Dried fruit is full of sugar. same iwth some fruit such as mangoes and seeed vegetables.

Thread: Unreadable SF.
April 2nd, 2004, 02:21 PM #46
thank you!
I couldn't agree more.
Just a few words from me: Stars In My Pocket... is one of the most beautiful books ever written. It's a fascinating (though not an easy) read from the first to the last page. There are almost no descriptions of sex in it (as well as in Trouble on Triton) and Marq's love is not for dirty but for bitten fingernails .
The final 20 pages contain the most emotionally intensive text I've ever read.
Delany's best book after Dhalgren.

"To Wound the Autumnal City" is the sentence fragment the book starts with, the ending sentence fragment is actually the first half of the above sentence (with a double "to"). The story is circular, and perhaps about a story from the inside - since Kid/d seems to be writing it at various points.
Dhalgren is not meant to be picked apart, it is meant to be experienced, and Delany scrambles your senses first. It is like being inside the Dali painting with the melting clocks. You have to give up relying on linear progression, and perspective, and just accept what is on the page.
It starts, in the dark, it could be late summer or early fall, it could be anywhere, it is on the grassy verge of a highway and you meet a man who might or might not be named Kidd/Kid who might or might not be a poet or a writer, who might or might not be 17 or 45, who may or may not have made love to a woman before, during, or after she may or may not have turned into a tree. And it just gets better
Every time you read it is a different experience because you focus on different parts. I have read it over 10 times since I first got it in 1976 or so. It is my favorite book. If I were stranded on a desert island it would be the only book I would need.
I also think his characters are among the most realistic and are incredibly human in terms of thoughts, emotions, and actions. He also tends to include character types that are overlooked in SF and F: Minorities, the Poor, Gay,Lesbian and Bisexual. He plays with language and his SF&F before Dhalgren is more focused on use of language because he was trying to conform to normal social standards. After he let his characters become people who he was interested in writing about.

Oh my, thank you all , I think, now that I have been labelled a Twisted-Sex loving Marketer.
First let me say that I do find kinky, dark twisted sex to be interesting, probably because I am so vanilla myself.
But here's the question: If you are uncomfortable with humans in all their myriad oddness, how can you be a reader of speculative fiction ? A genre that by its very nature stretches reality to the breaking point and beyond. How could you ever seriously contemplate being chummy with aliens, or even looking at the world in a radically different way, if there are certain types of humans that are beyond the pale ? You don't have to practice what they do, or even necessarily condone it, but how can you pass up a chance to safely (from your armchair) walk a mile in shoes that in real life you probably wouldn't even know ? I find it fascinating to live in the skin of someone who is completely different and outside my realm of experience. It is the only way to observe without having the observer change the nature of the observed !
Black Wine by Candas Jane Dorsey is an award winning book, that primarily looks at how violence, abuse, degradation and horror is often passed down from one generation of women to the next, sometimes by outsiders, but often from within their own families. It is also a rather different take on a vampire story. It was a beautifully written and very moving story and I have to say I don't remember much sex in it at all.
No I am not a marketer.
If you read Delany you need to keep a few things in mind:
He is obsessed with the hands of working-men, so in his later books you do get detailed descriptions of grimy hands, bitten nails, and some that go on about the marks left by the wear and tear of years of labor.
He is also a gay man, so if you are expecting traditional relationships and unable to take risks, his later work, where he started expressing it, isn't for you. He once said that sex serves different purposes in the straight and gay (male) communities. It solidifies a straight relationship, whereas gay men use it to say hello. I am sure not all gay men are like that, but that is his take on it, so if you are uncomfortable reading about sex, again he isn't for you.
I wouldn't want to live like that, or spend time watching others do it, but reading gives you a safe distance and you get to see what goes on in their minds when they make the choices that they do.
I just love his earthiness which makes his writing and his characters different from just about anyone else in the genre.

God Ficus - you should work in marketing! I had absolutely no intention of reading Dhalgren before you put that eloquent spin on me.
Okay, okay, if you're looking for a book that reads like Penthouse letters written by a pack of drunk Hell's Angels then that's between you and your therapist. Inside of a Dali painting maybe, but with all the rutting and the lack of any moral depth it felt to me like a middle school Dali who decided to paint about 'poopy'.
Anyway, getting back on topic. And let me take a little aside for some background info; I've been trying to get a better grasp on the difference between the classics and the rubbish. I've been alternating, reading a book that usually gets the 'classic' tag, then reading a book that got bad word of mouth or just looked bad.
So far I've like every one of the classics except for one (guess which one). Some of the stinkers haven't been that bad. Some have been awful. And since that's the theme of the post watch out for:
Mars Underground - a short story with 300 pages of filler. Page long sex scenes "they reached into the universe inside of each other" that made you shake your head - did they just have sex, uh, cause I'm not sure.
Antarctica - After loving the Red Mars series I'm starting to wonder what happened to Kim. Years of Salt and Rice at the south pole.
Anything by David Weber - I don't know how young your supposed to be to enjoy this stuff. I'm thinking toddler.
Ah, the sweet (slightly pungent) smell of negativity. Sorry, but in all seriousness does anybody ever give a negative review anymore (there's ten gushing reviews of Mars Underground on the back and in the inset). I know they wouldn't put a bad review on the book but come on, ten people liked this book?

Oh dear, now I will bear the weight of your reading experience.
If you do read it, I do hope you enjoy it, but it is a difficult read, and others who have written about it being a bad read are not without some justification. It also has sex, violence and lots of philosophical writerly navel gazing in it. But if you approach it with an open mind, as a map to a fantastic journey then you may find it is worthwhile.
I remember the trip to the bookstore and the act of buying it, and I remember reading the first 10-15 pages multiple times because it was written in English but I couldn't understand it. Then in what was surely a leap of intellectual development, I said 'ok then, I guess it isn't supposed to make sense - and went on reading'. There is so much in it that if you focus on what you like, the other parts fade away, until next time and you may find that you are then ready to deal with them.
My favorite image is the contents of the art museum arranged haphazzardly around the foggy, smokey park. My most enduring obsession is the crystals on the chain. I think it is memory or experience, but I am still not sure. Well I won't say more because I don't want to spoil it, but good luck whatever you decide and remember you read it at your own risk.
Regarding the sex with the tree in the park later in the book, I will look it up and get back to you. I think I know what you are talking about, but he spends so much time in the park I want to be sure before I talk about it.

I can understand the others, but not your dislike of David Weber.
You sure you got the right name? Have you ever read, "In Death Ground" and "The Shiva Option"
If you don't like military sci-fi---then this explains it. Weber is one of the best out there!

As for the comment on sfi/fi fans and people of different ilks, I agree with your comment on the realism of the characters in Dhalgren. In fact part of the reason that I found them so realistic is that I deal with people like that everyday. Their is nothing alien about them to me and no, when I curl up with a book and "escape" I have no real desire to walk in their shoes.
Different strokes/different folks
April 2nd, 2004, 07:31 PM #53I find it fascinating to live in the skin of someone who is completely different and outside my realm of experience.
I have to agree, your review of Dhalgren really made me want to give it a try despite all the negative reviews, though I do not generally like the experimental SF of that period. On the other hand, I would like to like Delany as being one of the few gay *and* black SF authors out there (or perhaps the only?). That combination alone in an SF author is sure to give an interesting take on life, the universe and everything.
Speaking of rubbish, ironchef texmex (yum) reminds me of one classic that is abysmal: They'd Rather Be Right by Mark Clifton and someone else. Why this won a Hugo is absolutely beyond me.

Like texmex, I am not trying to judge or belittle anyone. Black Wine is a great book if you can get past a few pages of challenging ideas. Different strokes...yada yada yada seems to be what I am learning from this excellent thread.

Aren't the negative reviews always the most interesting ?
Of the authors mentioned so far, I'll definitely second Elizabeth Moon and CJ Cherryh (so much promise .. so boring). I'm currently reading 'Diaspora' by Greg Eagan. Oh dear God. I can take hard science, but when he started on a detailed description of a 5-dimensional world (I think, I'm not absolutely sure) .... *sigh*. If you want a fictional physics textbook (why?) then this if for you.
One author that I've never been able to understand is John Sladek. His collected short stories are in 'Keep the giraffe burning'. Excellent title, but the stories are so surreal as to be unreadable (by me, anyway).

I really enjoy Sladek's stuff. His sense of humour often leaves me in convulsions of laughter.

On topic: I can't believe how many people dislike the Dune series. Well, during the first how-ever-many-pages I was a little concerned. I'd only seen the mini-series (sheltered childhood, what can I say) and the book seemed far too convoluted for my tastes. Then I finished the book, which the ending was great and then read the next three after that too.
Tad Williams' Otherland was really good after the first hundred pages or so ... and what is it with the name !Xabbu which you have no idea how to pronounce? Anyways, don't give up on it before you get to the really interesting stuff in the second and third books.
Oh, and I found Red/Green/Blue Mars Trilogy to be far too annoying to read with any enthusiasm. With shallow and childish (probably too realistic) characters and swearing for the sake of swearing it just couldn't grab my attention.

April 8th, 2004, 10:30 AM #60
And I have been labelled as one who lacks patience. Sigh. I continued reading Dune for several hundred pages after realizing I hated it, people... that takes much, much more patience than reading the same pages and liking them.
Is it too late to place myself with FicusFan as one who likes twisted sex in books? That's one thing I tend not to have a problem with (to veer briefly into fantasy-land, several times in the Kushiel's Legacy series I was wishing for more detail). I really should read Black Wine.

Good Quality Pan for the Price !!
I love the weight and balance of this pan. I have cooked omelets and pancakes and the heat distribution and interior finish produces phenomenal results. As always with stainless pans, folks should remember to pre-season the pan *(I use light grape-seed oil). The exterior finish is highly polished and is very easy to clean. Please don't ruin your pan by placing it in the dishwasher (hand wash only).
That's what I wanted to say: Would I recommend this product? "Absolutely". Is it a good value for the price? "Absolutely". Am I happy with the service and support I received? "Absolutely".
This conducts heat so well and so evenly that I may have to modify my usual cooking temperatures. It's great.
I love the tri-ply. I am a culinary student discovering the benefits of good cookware. The pan delivers the even heating as described. The handle remains cool, and I like the weight and feel. The one thing that frustrated me, when I cleaned the pan after cooking sausage patties I couldn't get the stains out. I only used a sponge and mild dish soap. I will try a product for stainless steel next. I tend to be anal-retentive about things like this. Overall I love the product.

RIFT Review
Rift, published by Trion Worlds, is a relative newcomer in the MMORPG genre, having launched on March 1, 2011. While fairly standard as far as MMORPGs go, there are a few unique twists the game brings that set it apart from its competitors like World of Warcraft and The Lord of the Rings Online. The game went free-to-play as of June 12, 2013.
A Hero is Made, Not Born
At your first glance of character creation, Rift appears to be more limited than most pay-to-play MMOs. Character creation consists of two factions, three races per faction, and four classes – warrior, rogue, cleric and mage. Character customization is fairly detailed, offering options for facial shape and features, markings, eye shape and color, hair style and color, and height, to name a few. It's not hard to create a unique character.
Once finished with character creation, you'll be treated to a brief, faction-specific cinematic. When you're in control of your character, you will see your first quest giver standing right in front of you. The reward from this first quest is not quite what you'd expect from a MMO, however: it's the choice of a soul. Souls are comparable to talent trees in other games, but each class has nine available to allow full flexibility and customization.
After choosing a soul, a comprehensive tutorial area awaits you, which offers new players a great amount of information about the world and how to play the game. In fact, the tutorial tip pop-up boxes are fairly informative, rather than intrusive, and will help players with many of the game's facets throughout the tutorial and beyond.
The Ascended
The soul system is unique in several ways. To start off with, all characters must go through the game's tutorial and choose three souls. Rift makes an effort to suggest souls that offer synergy; for instance, the game will recommend complimentary tank souls to a player who chooses Paladin. Soul points, which are used to gain skills and abilities in each soul's tree, are gained at a rate of one each level, plus an additional point every third level. Players can then spend their points in any of their soul trees to advance "branch" and "root" abilities.
However, you're not limited to the first three souls you pick. Additional souls can be purchased at class trainers, and players can change them at any time for a small fee. This offers millions of possibilities on character development, especially as each class type offers several combat roles including tank, healer, and support.
Carving Your Own Path
One thing that sets the Rift trial apart is the lack of restrictions: the only two restrictions on your experience in Rift is the seven-day trial period and a level cap of 15. In fact, you can keep playing the character until you're just about to reach level 16, at which point it locks experience (but not the character itself). All the game's other features are available: crafting, chatting, mounts, exploration, PvP, and achievements are all fully accessible.
Invaders from Another World
Trial players are also able to participate in the game's defining feature: rifts and invasions. Rifts are tears into the reality of the world from the elemental planes, and offer different challenges in stages to overcome and seal the rift. Invasions are similar to rifts, but on a larger scale: invasion forces attack key outposts across the zone, and will not cease until players defeat them and their commander. Both of these events are triggered based on several factors, including zone population, and both offer special tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. While they can sometimes be frustrating (particularly when an invasion takes over a quest hub), they are normally non-intrusive to play.
Final Verdict: Great
The class system alone sets Rift above its competitors. While there are some balance issues with certain classes and souls, the developers do pay close attention to them and make constant effort to fix standing issues.

35 Years Ago - The Who Releases 'Who Are You'
Tuesday, August 20, 2013
It was 35 years ago this week that the Who released their eighth album, and final studio set with Keith Moon, Who Are You. The album, which had been recorded between October 1977 and April of '78, showcased the Who at a crossroads with the band entering the studio after a long year off the road while pursuing solo projects. 1977 saw the release of Roger Daltrey's third solo album, One Of The Boys, as well as Pete Townshend's second solo outing -- Rough Mix -- a collaboration with Ronnie Lane of the Faces.
The sessions, which featured the band once again recreating Townshend's professional home demos, were at a severe disadvantage due to Keith Moon's declining state from years of drug and alcohol abuse. His inability to reach his previous dizzying heights resulted in their being no drum track for the tune "Music Must Change" because Moon was simply unable to execute the song's 6/8 time signature. During vocals sessions with producer Glyn Johns -- who had been behind the board of such Who classics as 1971's Who's Next and 1975's The Who By Numbers -- Daltrey punched Johns, who quit the project and was replaced by his assistant -- and Townshend's then-brother-in-law -- Jon Astley, who was left to complete the album with the band.
Who Are You features some of John Entwistle's most beloved Who tracks, including the slightly risque "Trick Of The Light," the sci-fi based "905," and the Daltrey-sung "Had Enough."
Rather than directly responding to the punk movement, which had taken England by storm in 1977 -- as the Rolling Stones did that same year's Some Girls collection -- Townshend delved further into his prog rock leanings on such tracks as "New Song," "Sister Disco," and the Gilbert & Sullivan-esque, "Guitar And Pen." The band employed keyboardist Ron Argent of Zombies and Argent fame to add keyboards to select tracks -- including the distinctive piano part on "Who Are You."
Pete Townshend admitted to us that his heart and soul can always be found in his home demos as opposed to the Who's proper studio recordings of his songs: "I put more energy and more passion and more intensity in the recordings that I made at home of the songs that I was writing than I would put into the recording studio sessions with the band -- which seemed to me to be mainly, kind of boozy evenings with the lads talking about, y'know, what they've done the year before, y'know? And there's a line in Quadrophenia -- 'You remember that hotel where the doors we smashed.' It was all about that kind of thing. And we would sit in the studio and the actual recording would interrupt the reminiscences."
The blockbuster success of the Grease soundtrack prevented the Who from scoring its first U.S. chart-topper, with Who Are You going on to peak at Number Two on the Billboard 200 charts -- a full four spots better than the album did in the band's homeland.
Keith Moon's death on September 7th, 1978 left the band in limbo for the time being, with the album cover becoming a classic featuring Moon perched on a chair featuring the immortal line: "Not to be taken away."

3. The Sincerest Form of Flattery (Faramir, Boromir)
prompt for December 3 - 22 red rangers
The Sincerest Form of Flattery
"It's disgusting!" Faramir burst through the door into his brother's office.
Boromir raised one eyebrow. "When did you get judgmental? You should be flattered that he copied your livery."
"Flattered?" Faramir snorted his contempt. "With twenty-two of them swaggering around the city in that garish color? Even father doesn't travel with that much escort."
"He's young, new come to his honors, and very proud of his position," Boromir said soothingly.
"He's only two years younger than I am. It's no excuse."
"Perhaps down in the south…"
Faramir snorted again. "Red Rangers! Even in the desert, that color is not camouflage!"

Smart Energy
Smart Energy is an industry poised for significant growth because of growing demands for "premium power" (electricity free from fluctuations and interruptions), aging existing infrastructure, and the industry's movement towards distributed generation. Seattle and the Pacific Northwest have significant advantages in the Smart Energy because of its research institutions, established transmission and distribution expertise, existing technology infrastructure, and the environmental consciousness of local communities and businesses.
The Smart Energy sector in Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia, Canada, is estimated to encompass more than 225 companies with revenues in excess of $1.9 billion plus another $150 million in research and development funding.
Sustainable Building
Seattle has established itself as a global center for Sustainable Building. This is an emerging industry focused on the design and construction of buildings that are water and energy efficient, minimize waste, maximize use of recycled materials, create healthy indoor environments for workers, employ resource-efficient materials, and incorporate environmentally sensitive site planning.
Seattle has more LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified professionals than any other city in the country. The City has determined that the growth of the sustainable building industry in Seattle is linked to the high concentration of local expertise, service, and materials providers, which represent a significant source for current and future jobs.
