I've never been to a book signing before. How do these things typically work? Does B&N let you bring your own book or are you supposed to grab one before the signing begins or what?

Now if only Rothfuss could spit em out like Sanderson.... Don't get me wrong TNOTW was a great book... but Ill most likely wait till the third comes out to pick up WMF due to the looongg wait between books... granted its not Martin wait time but still...

Then you must not have read much Sanderson... Yes Rothfuss writes very well.... But... Sandersons prose is very good as well... Going back to TNOTW I cant say that his prose is better than Sandersons... not to mention Sandersons books are much more original and interesting....

You can read my spoiler-free review of The Wise Man's Fear here.
Keep in mind that I do elaborate on various facets of the novel. So if you want to go into this one totally fresh, you might want to skip it...

Ha, great write up Pat. That is the first review I have read of yours (I very rarely read reviews for my entertainment options), but it is obvious you put a lot of time and thought into it (and if you didn't, I guess you're just that damn good).
January 15th, 2011, 09:59 PM #25
Thanks, Matt, but I'll have to take that compliment with a grain of salt. Indeed, according to some, I'm about the worst thing the internet has to offer!
But I know Pat, I know his editor, and we share an agent. So it was important to be sort of thorough, without giving anything away. Especially since this was the first full review of TWMF.
January 15th, 2011, 10:16 PM #26
Well, I bookmarked your site and plan on checking it out more in depth.
As for WMF, despite Pat's review speaking directly to me when he said 'if you weren't thrilled by Rothfuss' debut, then I believe you need not bother with the second volume', I am strongly considering picking this book up. I did enjoy Rothfuss' writing, even if I was less than thrilled with the story itself.
Plus, WMF is a huge release for the fantasy genre, and it is a series I am actually up to speed on (very hard, I know, with only one book released thus far). And I don't mind giving money to Rothfuss and those that are publishing his work, so even if I don't enjoy it as much as others, at least I am not supporting some ass.

I'm doing a second reading of The Name of the Wind to get ready for Wise Man's Fear and I think I am enjoying the book more this time than in my initial reading. This is really going to be fun to see where Patrick takes us next.

I don't agree with the issues you presented as being problematic as most of those issues you discussed were basically the same ones present in your opinion in NOTW and I did not see any of those issues as being problematic. All I can say is that if you are saying fans who liked the first book will love the second, and with the first book receiving critical acclaim, I find it hard to see how you can then mainly pick at the faults in the book and give it only an 8. Granted an 8 out of 10 is far from a bad score just found it a bit surprising it wasn't a bit higher. I suppose there are two main camps with Rothfuss. Those that think he is as good as anyone in the genre ala Elizabeth Wollheim (whose assessment I completely agree with) and those that think he is merely another good fantasy author. So much comes down to preference as you gave Erikson's Memories of Ice a 10/10 where I found it to be merely another foray into the study of cultural anthropology mixed in with comic book like characters and thin plot lines.
Personal opinion aside the review was superbly written just as your Bakker review was.

Having said that, I do think that if you're looking at another 400 pages of Kvothe at University at the start of the book, I see that as a disappointment. I suspect Rothfuss is really padding this out beyond the point of it still being engaging.
I mentioned elsewhere that Rothfuss was inspired by or loved the Earthsea trilogy by Le Guin, which tells a similar story. That trilogy is a mere 470 pages in paperback, whereas this one is 1,600 pages in hardcover, two books into a trilogy. That says a lot about how epic fantasy publishing has changed, but it also says a lot about Rothfuss being the absolute opposite of brevity.
Many of us will soak the book up of course, but I suspect there is going to be a good deal of tedium at the start there, if we are talking about 400 pages of introduction and re-acquainting.
January 16th, 2011, 05:19 PM #30
I think it will depend on what is in those first 400 pages. The university years seem to be extremely vital to the development of Kvothe and you figure the point where Rothfuss ended the NOTW you would expect the beginning of the book would pick right back up there. Plus with the book being so large there is plenty of time for the plot to develop.
I guess it really depends on the expectation one has for this book. With Rothfuss I enjoy the detail and prose so much that I do not mind slow plot development. Reminds me quite a bit of Williams MS&T. I didn't mind the pacing because the characters, the story, and the world are all so compelling and fascinating that it wouldn't have mattered how many pages Williams spent meandering around Osten Ard. I think when characters are so intricately done it becomes easy to draw the reader in and sort of removes the need to push or force the plot quickly.
I am so excited about this book and Pat's review brought a smile to my face because it seems that everything I loved about The Name of the Wind is still very much the core of what The Wise Man's Fear is about.

Clippers back on track with win
Thursday, April 18, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — Once a high school baseball season starts, nine days is an awful long way to go between games.
Holt's single up the middle plated Dillon Crosby, who'd scored Main with a double to the fence in left-center. After freshman Kobie Taylor (two hits, two runs, two RBIs) singled to left, catcher Owen Shepcaro peeled off an opposite-field line single to make it 3-0.
"I threw less pitches than I did last time," said the 6-foot-4 senior right-hander. "A couple shaky innings … I got in a couple jams but I was able to get out of it."
"We got some hits," said Johnson. "It would have been nice to string them together."

|On the Lack of Inverses to $C^*$-Extensions Related to Property T Groups
Using ideas of S. Wassermann on non-exact $C^*$-algebras and property T groups, we show that one of his examples of non-invertible $C^*$-extensions is not semi-invertible. To prove this, we show that a certain element vanishes in the asymptotic tensor product. We also show that a modification of the example gives a $C^*$-extension which is not even invertible up to homotopy.

Motherhood: Making Choices About Working
In This Article:
Now comes the other side of the balance sheet: the benefits of working need to be netted against its costs. Physically demanding work - involving heavy lifting or exertion, or standing on your feet all day - has been associated with poorer health in mothers, especially during the first year after giving birth. Jobs that offer the employee little say in when and how specific tasks are done, especially low-level clerical positions, are a risk factor for cardiovascular problems in mothers. Moving from physical to mental health, you could feel uneasy, worried, or even upset at being separated from your child. Or guilty, perhaps, at not being the sort of mother you want to be.
If nothing else, working means spending less time with your child, and sometimes missing special moments or milestones, like the first steps. To have as much time as possible with her children, an employed mother typically sleeps about five or six hours a week less than a stay-at-home mom. Working also means spending more time in traffic (unless you work at home), with the aggravations and expenses of commuting.
Meanwhile, the hassles of investigating, managing, or changing childcare usually land on you; as the difficulty of arranging for childcare rises, a mother's health tends to decline. Once everything is set up and work looks like clear sailing, your job still gets disrupted when a child is sick or needs to be taken to a doctor, and your partner can't or won't handle it. And if you are already heavily burdened, such as by a colicky baby who keeps you up at night, or by personal health problems, a job could be the proverbial straw that breaks your back. Adding it all up, it's not surprising that full-time employed mothers of infants report greater stress than do full-time homemakers with infants - and they often neglect their own health to cope with their total workload.
The Costs of Working for Both You and Your Family
Stresses from work can wear you down so you have less to give at home. Business travel causes separations that could be upsetting to you and your children. Going to work also means needing to find places and occasions to pump breast milk if you have continued nursing. These hassles are a major reason why returning to work (especially full-time) usually leads a mother to wean earlier than she otherwise would, which means losing the benefits of breast-feeding. In addition to the ways that nursing can be emotionally fulfilling for a mother and her child, continuing to breast-feed seems to help shield a woman from the effects of stress. The other benefits for children include a boost in IQ and fewer illnesses - some of the reasons why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that mothers nurse for at least one year, and the World Health Organization recommends at least two years.
For the family as a whole, mornings and evenings get especially frenzied when both parents work. At the beginning of the day, everybody zooms around getting dressed, packing lunches, and schlepping kids to childcare. At the other end of the day, you've got to shove so much into a small sliver of time: hugs and kisses for children, questions like How did it go at preschool? or Was Rory nice to you today? and housework tasks that get pushed into the evening or weekend. When - finally - you get the kids to bed and the last dishes done or the laundry folded, it's hard to have much energy left for yourself or your relationship.

Ridley builds 80 special design Helium SL with Campa's 80th Anniversary
Last week Campagnolo celebrated its 80th Anniversary, an occasion for which they launched a special, limited run 80th Anniversary groupset. Such a unique groupset deserves a bike which not only matches its technological qualities, but also its outstanding design. We have therefore created a Helium SL that truly lifts the 80th Anniversary Collection to a higher level. Of this exclusive bike a maximum of 80 will be built.
Our Helium SL is the bike used by the WorldTour riders of Lotto-Belisol. It is renowned for its excellent stiffness to weight ratio. Because of this and because of its classy, elegant look it's the ideal bike to mount the Campagnolo 80th Anniversary Collection on. Our design team came up with a stealthy paintjob for the frameset with just the right amount of red accents to complement the design of the groupset.
Ridley is going to build a maximum of 80 Helium SL's in this configuration. Whoever wants one, will have to decide quickly and contact his Ridley dealer as soon as possible to pre-order his Helium SL Campagnolo 80th Anniversary Collection.
The advisory retail price for the bike is 8.999 euro.

To my experience KDE has gotten better every release since I started using it around the time 4.3 was released. The KDE SC 4.9 seems to be especially good performance and stability wise.
http://forum.kde.org/viewforum.php?f...d1a3f1effb66a0 and make a thread or look in a already existing thread to improve system settings like this one: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=226&t=101206
To my experience KDE has gotten better every release since I started using it around the time 4.3 was released. The KDE SC 4.9 seems to be especially good performance and stability wise.
I guess it could also be lack of manpower, I don't know. It's just that the amount of bugs that didn't get fixed is colossal.
I've been a KDE User since 1.x as well and I'm sick and tired of waiting for a stable KDE desktop. Each release brings new bugs and most of the time many regressions as well. The QA of many KDE projects just sucks and due to the lack of a release manager who is willing to delay the release or even revert some applications back to a previous version, KDE will always be buggy.
Stability has always been more important than features but it seems KDE will never understand that.
I'm a GNOME 2 guy. I've tried KDE, but I can never get it to do the things I want. Features and settings are impossible for me to find. Maybe I'm just used to the GNOME way of doing things, but KDE has always (since 4.0) seemed massively broken. I've heard it said that KDE is superior in terms of customizability but you honestly couldn't prove it by me. Sure it's pretty with slick graphics and all the blue and white, and as a user I can find any program I want to run. But that's not the problem and it never was. Figuring out how to customize my DE to fit my workflow is paramount, and I could never get that "Kdone". Even on the most recent version where tried to help a friend set his audio to route through HDMI, the settings wouldn't work. Switching to a G3 desktop environment solved the problem with a few mouse clicks and a gesture or two.
So... maybe that's what was meant by "no longer competitive?" Maybe the bugs and the "Where the fuck did they hide this setting" factor and the lack of stability (haven't experienced that one), all piles up to just a bad way to go?
this bug that has a bunch of duplicates (with new ones appearing regularly) and it took 1 year and a half to change from Unconfirmed to New? It's a crash and apparently no one gives a damn. And before someone says "why don't you fix it then?" I would try to if I was still using KDE, but I got fed up with all the bugs/crashes/graphical artifacts/glitches and apps requiring that I waste 5 minutes configuring them before being able to use them.
Actually when I was still using KDE I thought that Dolphin was an awesome file manager. Unless it got worse recently I don't understand all the bad rep.
Linux desktop is in a sad state more or less. Unity is ugly, KDE is KDE and Gnome 3 is something that kills puppies, baby squirels, and kittens.
At least i hope E17 will get it right.

While betas of Microsoft's Silverlight 3 platform have been available for a number of months after being announced in the last half of 2008, their free software implementation of Silverlight, which is known as Moonlight and developed largely by Novell with the Mono developers, has lagged behind. Only today has the first beta release for Moonlight 2.0 been released...
Does this allow Linux users to get Netflix movies on demand again? and if so, does this also work for PPC so we can stream Netflix to the PS3 for TV/Projector?
someone is trying.
You know, I commend the guys behind Moonlight and Novell for their progress, but I still hope Silverlight is a total failure and just goes away.
This reminds me of the Soviet Union. They copied a lot of the stuff that the Americans/British were doing, instead of making their own technology.
Seriously instead of making some half baked silverlight port they should have developed their own api with GUI tools in a flash sense(you know, those easy to use tools you used in high school). It would have been a lot better than the place we are in now with moonlight. Of course I do appreciate what Novel and all the developers do, but I don't think this is helping us as much as I had hoped(I was hoping for Netflix, but doubt it now).
All that I can hope for now is that they will release the DRM, but I doubt that will happen. I was really worried something like this would happen, of course in the back of my mind I knew it would happen.
PS. By half baked I mean that it isn't a complete silverlight port because of the drm, and probably will never be.

One in every nine Vermonters joined in support of the Union Army. 34,000 soldiers enlisted, and by the War's end more than 5,224 died of wounds or sickness. Men, women and children were greatly affected by the War, and their many acts of valor and sacrifice were critical on the home front and on the battlefront. Today Vermont – with its preserved architecture and working landscape – still suggests the rural America in which the Civil War took place. Says Civil War historian Howard Coffin, "Vermont is the best place in the nation to visit to experience the North of the Civil War era." Vermont and the Civil War Visitors Guide identifies 46 of the hundreds of places that tell the stories of the Green Mount State's Civil War history.
The guide will take you to New England's best documented stop on the Underground Railroad, the factory where the gun milling machines that armed the nation were produced, and the resort where Mary Lincoln and her children summered in 1864. Visit museums, historic sites, and public memorials; explore preserved towns and villages, and hike local trails to discover this unique Civil War history. Plan your trip to Vermont soon.

Washington, D.C., 26 October 2012 (PAHO/WHO) – During the Ninth Regional Congress on Health Sciences Information (CRICS9), the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) launches a mobile application that enables health professionals to make evidence-based decisions on student health, while on-the-go.
The new eGSHS mobile application provides access to data from the Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS), which monitors students' behavior related to: diet, physical activity, hygiene, alcohol consumption, drug and tobacco use, violence and unintentional injuries, sexual and reproductive health, and mental health. This is the first mobile application launched by PAHO/WHO.
PAHO/WHO, the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) and the Ministries of Health and Education, have used the survey since 2003 to monitor the behaviors that affect the health of students, ages 13 to 15, in more than 30 countries and territories in the Americas.
Thanks to the support of the Spanish Cooperation, health professionals can now easily visualize the latest findings from the survey, make comparisons among cities and countries, and share the information by email or through social networks –all from their mobile phones and tablets.
Mobile technologies are currently used in connection with a wide range of public health initiatives. The advantages of mobile technologies are vast, including availability, accessibility, innovation, cost-effectiveness, real-time access to information, and portability.
PAHO/WHO Director, Dr. Mirta Roses Periago, stressed in her remarks during the CRICS9 inauguration, that access to reliable information and the exchange of health knowledge through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT), "have been considered essential for health development" in the Americas. Dr. Roses also reaffirmed the commitment of the Organization with Member States to work in the dissemination of critical health information to the general public to enable them to make decisions favorable to their health.
The development of the eGSHS mobile application falls within the PAHO/WHO Strategy and Plan of Action on eHealth for the Americas. The regional strategy seeks to contribute to the sustainable development of health systems to improve access to and the quality of services, with the use of ICT.
Some components of eHealth, in addition to mHealth (or the use of mobile devices for health), are electronic health records, telehealth (including telemedicine), continuing education in ICT, and the standardization and interoperability between different technologies and software applications to exchange and use data effectively, accurately and robustly.
PAHO/WHO is currently working to develop mobile applications addressing other public health issues. The eGSHS app is already available for download, free of charge, from Apple's Official Store in iTunes. Results from the GSHS survey can also be accessed through the PAHO/WHO website on students' health: http://www.paho.org/saludyescuelas.
PAHO celebrates its 110th anniversary this year and is the world's oldest international public health organization. It works with all the countries of the hemisphere to improve the health and quality of life of the peoples of the Americas and serves as the WHO Regional Office for the Americas.
The ninth Regional Congress on Health Sciences Information (CRICS9) held 22-24 October, in Washington, D.C., was organized by PAHO/WHO and its Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences (BIREME). With the theme "Reaching universal access to health", congress participants shared experiences and exchanged information on programs, projects, systems and networks on health sciences information and communications in the Americas.

Comments about Brine Mini E3 Lacrosse Stick:
This is an awesome stick for a kid- if s/he's only going to play at home for fun with his friends. It is NOT the right size for playing on a team. I'm a new lacrosse-mom and had no idea- and neither did the sweet guy working at S.A. when I bought this so we ended up buying the wrong thing.
The net is too small for competitive use...so we chalked it up to being novices and use it for playing in the neighborhood. Had to buy another for his team. Still- a good stick for the price.

The Pirates of Penzance (Broadway version)
Astwood Bank Operatic Society
Palace Theatre, Redditch
JOHNNY Depp, The Keystone Cops and shades of Windsor Davies and Dad's Army made surprising and thoroughly enjoyable appearances at The Palace Theatre when ABOS performed the modern version of this Gilbert & Sullivan classic.
A vibrant band, skilfully choreographed swordfights (one involving the musical director and a clarinet), contemporary humour and supremely competent principals made the two-act romp, playing on those born on February 29th having a birthday only every four years, most enjoyable.
Making his singing debut with ABOS as the Sergeant of Police, Richard Weller's Windsor Davies-like voice was accompanied by superb comic acting, so good you didn't take your eyes off him in case you missed something.
Melanie Hart's rich tones as hard-of-hearing nursemaid Ruth filled the auditorium and she also made the most of her comic moments.
Pirate King David Steele, AKA Johnny Depp, combines singing and acting skills in equal measure. The memories of his effortless tenor voice and the image of him touching up his mascara will linger for some time! Tony Vater, playing Samuel, was another impressive pirate.
Alan Hastings, playing Frederic, was a thoroughly convincing naïve and duty-obsessed victim of himself, partnered perfectly by Abigail Cole, playing Mabel and supported by Harriet Mills (Edith) and Chris Wheeler (Kate).
And one could only marvel at the verbal dexterity of Tony Jay, playing Major General Stanley, not missing a note despite rapid speed and his perfect enunciation ensuring you could understand every word.
Great singing, great comedy, great evening.

The distance a scanner is able to receive varies based on the type of scanner, the location of the radio, and many other factors. A portable scanner inside a home may only receive 10 miles or so. A base station scanner with a back-of the-set antenna slightly more. A scanner connected to an outdoor antenna often will receive double or triple these ranges. If you have a portable scanner inside a car, the metal roof of the car will attenuate the signal you're trying to receive. A mobile scanner
antenna mounted outside of the car with a magnetic or other type of mount will significantly increase the distance you can hear and the clarity of most stations.
The distance a scanner will receive depends on many factors including your elevation; the frequency, elevation, transmitter power, and tower height of the transmitting station; the terrain and buildings in your area; whether cellular, paging and other transmitters in your area; whether the system you're monitoring is a wide-area network, and more. Every area and every situation differs. Go to scannermaster.com for antennas, pre-amplifiers and other hardware that will help you increase the
range you are able to receive.

How to Set up a Backyard Horseshoe Game
By admin | August 15, 2013
Backyard horseshoes can be a great way to have fun with the family and spend some quality time together. One of the best things you can do is to purchase a horseshoe game specifically designed for backyards. These kits often come with stacks that you can put into the ground that will then catch the horseshoes that you throw at them. Make sure that you put the stakes in a large enough area so that you and your loved ones are able to play comfortably without anything getting in the way. Read the rest of this entry »

Preparing for Outdoor Adventures: Don't Forget the Most Important Thing
By admin | June 10, 2013
Before you head off on a weekend camping trip or a white water rafting adventure, be sure to add this item to the top of your to-do list before anything else. And just what exactly is this item? Believe it or not, it's one of the most overlooked and often forgotten details of trip. It's making sure your home is secure before you take off on an exciting excursion. Just by locking your doors, this simple step will help ensure that you'll return home with not only fantastic memories and stories to last a lifetime, but also to your home – just the way you left it.
In addition to properly securing your home before your trip, it's always a good idea to check in with a trusted neighbor and let them know your plans and departure and arrival dates and times so they know when to expect you back, and so that they can keep an eye out for any suspicious activity at your home. While you're out scaling a mountain or hiking one of the country's many scenic trails, you can still get views of your home – right from your smartphone – with home automation technology from security providers like Securitychoice.com.
With a combination of home security features and your due diligence when it comes to locking up your house, the only inconveniences you might run into while you're out enjoying Mother Nature, would be nosy wildlife or a crazy jump off a huge rapid. So remember, dead bolting the doors, leaving a light on and having your neighbor pick up your mail are just as – if not more important – as bringing the right camping, hiking and white water rafting gear on your next outdoor adventure.

Hiking and Camping
By www.out-and-about.com | January 15, 2012
Hiking is a fantastic outdoor activity that serves as both a great chance to see nature and an excellent opportunity to stay in shape. And it doesn't have to just be in the deep, wooded areas. You can hike on clearly marked trails and open areas, but everyone knows that the best places to hike are the places where you stop seeing traces of humanity – where you are surrounded by Mother Nature.
It's the same way with camping – the absolute camping experience is one surrounded by the wilderness requiring endurance and just a little bit of courage. And when you involve the entire family there is no greater chance to bond then when you're all working together to explore, build fires and make dinner. However, as fun as these activities can be, you're going to want to take the necessary precautions.
Whether it's a hike or a camping trip, you'll want to make sure you have a fully-stocked first-aid kit and you need to make sure you bring enough clothes and clean water to survive. For a hike, a backpack (not too heavy) will do, but you may want to pack just a little more for camping. Also, as far as camping goes, if you're going to be out for an extended period you'll want to ask your neighbor to get your mail and newspaper for you. However, if you're particularly nervous about your home it never hurts to look into a home security system and sites like www.homesecuritysystem.com can help.

Instructions on How to Play Croquet
By admin | September 27, 2011
Croquet is a great fun game to play outside on a beautiful day. First you must divide all players into two teams. There is a "hot" and a "cool" team which refers to the color of the balls you will play with. Decide which team goes first and that team is the "cool" team which uses the blue and black balls. Place your ball three feet south of the first wicket and try getting your ball through the wicket. If you succeed then you get to go again, if not Read the rest of this entry »

Types of Gear You Should Never be Without While Hiking
By admin | September 25, 2011
The importance of hiking preparedness should never be overestimated. Traveling far from civilization and the attendant safety nets it provides leaves hikers, backpackers and campers exposed to hazards that, in settled environments, can be addressed readily. Alone in the woods or mountains, however, simple problems can mount quickly, and hikers who are unprepared can face exhaustion, dehydration, injury and even death.
Proper gear can save lives. Hikers should never be without an adequate supply of water in quantities more than sufficient for Read the rest of this entry »

Badminton Basics: How to Play the Game

Badminton is a fun family and friend game that has been around for years. The game resembles the game of tennis. Badminton can be played in singles or with teams of 2. The game uses a racquet similar to a tennis racquet but is much lighter built. The shuttlecock or "birdie" is plastic cone shape with a rubber balled tip. There is a net set up to separate the two sides.
Before starting the game you must decide who is going first. The easiest way to tell who will go first is by flipping a coin. The Read the rest of this entry »
