Union bubble has busted
Monday, December 17, 2012
Last week President Barack Obama warned that right to work legislation, pending at the time before Michigan legislature, was about the right to work for less.
It's akin to the housing bubble — prices so high they had to come down at some point. Now, however painstakingly slow, housing prices are beginning to find a level which hopefully can be maintained over time.

All Prescribed Burns in
Prescribed fire (controlled burn) is used to reduce the risk of large catastrophic wildfires and increase public and firefighter safety, as well as meet a variety of resource management objectives. This planned ignition allows agencies to reduce hazardous fuels and restore habitat and ecosystems. Three general types of prescribed fire are pile burning, understory/under burning, and broadcast burning. Any controlled burning must first get clearance from smoke management officials at the Oregon Department of Forestry or the Washington Department of Natural Resources.

Choosing an Approach to Mobile Development
Mobile applications are the new Shangra La for software development shops. This article in the Washington Post reports that more than 800 million iPhone applications have been downloaded and there are now more than 25,000 apps in the iTunes store. Clearly, there's an enormous market for mobile applications. But, when it comes to choosing the best method for developing iPhone apps, it's not always obvious which approach aligns with your business goals. This article outlines three different development methods for building mobile apps along with pros and cons to help you choose the development approach that's right for your business.
Build In the Browser
The simplicity of browser-built iPhone apps attracts many developers, especially Web developers, but there are problems with this method. A major setback is that applications built this way can't access native iPhone features like accelerometer, GPS, camera, contacts, etc. That's a significant handicap when users are clamoring for applications that make the most of iPhone technology.
Create a Native App
Native applications built in Objective-C make full use of all the iPhone features: GPS, accelerometer, local storage, camera and more. This approach works especially well for robust applications, like 3D games. If your goal is to sell a complex, full-featured application, building a native application is your best bet.
So, why doesn't every development shop build native iPhone apps? Because they're built in Objective-C, an obscure programming language that can be difficult to learn. Not only are Objective-C developers hard to find, their skills don't always transfer to other Web development projects. Finding and hiring a team of Objective-C developers is costly and not very practical, unless you plan to focus entirely on iPhone application development.
Take the Hybrid Approach
Of course, every method has its drawbacks. In this case, achieving JavaScript performance can be a challenge. But, if your developers are already well-versed in JavaScript and HTML, a hybrid approach is the fastest, most effective way to add iPhone app development to your roster, especially if you're building social networking applications, simple games and companion applications to websites. This avenue opens up options for cross platform development because iPhone applications built with PhoneGap also run on Blackberry and Android.
To find out more about using the hybrid approach with PhoneGap visit www.phonegap.com.

Thanks for the info, but you should really reconsider the blog title "UX Title" :) Those tag image shown next to the link is an irritant. They look to be the bullet points and seeking attention from readers on almost every other link.
just remove them and see the readability improves.
Good luck.
Good article (well at least timely for myself)
The company I work for are currently talking about doing an Iphone app to support our web site and it always sounded a bit daft to spend all that time and money on developing for one platform.
If PhoneGap is as good as you say then that could be the answer.

And although I would not complain that much if there hasn't been this hype, I still would complain a lot. The "progress" of the driver is simply unacceptable.
Yes, I can complain. I spent 1500 for notebook which is not working as I wanted bacause of ATI
And I am in IT bussiness for almost 10 years as programmer, I was also involved wit driver development (ISDN). And we didnt add extra features before basic were stable and tweaked.
So AIXGL for next month...great...leave all problems as they are and add extra functionality. Easier to debug
And although I would not complain that much if there hasn't been this hype, I still would complain a lot. The "progress" of the driver is simply unacceptable.
Again, you pay for Windows with most laptops... No wonder pretty much every Linux laptop seller ships with nVidia + Intel (again, not meaning to bash AMD-ATI, just state of "business")... For several reasons, part the graphics support and performance, part for power consumption and battery life, etc.

Linux support will be added just as soon as we bump up the framerates on the 9700 pro." They have to make sure their entire product line has some functionality before they can move on to optimization.
AMD is also well aware and paying attention to this thread.
I hate when people act like it's a cardinal sin to complain about something, especially when they are valid complaints!
I appreciate Michael's help and his information... but when that information amounts to not only just blowing smoke up people's tailpipes, but to essentially misinformation that leaves people sitting with a driver even worse than the previous one in spite of all the prior claims about how much better it would be for everyone... I think that's a valid cause to gripe a little.
I'd have rather known beforehand not to get my hopes up and that I'd have to wait at LEAST a few more weeks. And even if I'd known NOTHING about this release, I'd still be upset that it's even worse than the prior one for me... not only not fixing ANY problems for me, but actually making things worse.
Unfortunately I gave my 9700pro to my father and I think it would be a little ridiculous to go back to my original GeForce3 card just to get usable 3D on my desktop instead of by some stretch of the imagination the expect that my almost 2 YEAR old card would be able to support 3D, see it's own video memory and simply FUNCTION as an AGP card.
If ATI had simply never support Linux, maybe there wouldn't be room to complain. But they have. For years. And after recent promises of such wonderful improvements in 8.41 to see that it was only for the R600 and went as far to make things worse for others etc... again, I think that's more than valid grounds for a complaint.
And just to clarify for those that seem to have missed the point... let's contrast the original claims with the current information as of this release...
Prior to this release:
After the release:The fglrx 8.41 driver is focused primarily for the R600 series and the 8.42 driver will contain additional fixes and optimizations for the older generation of ATI graphics processors. While the 8.41 release is designed for the R600 series, in our tests with the R300 through R500 series the driver has worked out quite well.
Is there some reason that hardly anyone is willing to acknowledge the difference between those two statements?The AMD Proprietary Linux driver version 8.41 is recommended for the ATI Radeon HD 2000 family only.
AMD recommends users of cards other than the ATI Radeon HD 2000 family continue to use the currently posted drivers for that product available for download on http://ati.amd.com/
Future releases will return to a unified driver supporting all product
How this affects users:
Using this driver may result in stability issues on non-Workstation products. This driver will not work with any ATI FireGL or ATI FireMV products.
How this affects distribution maintainers and packagers:
This driver is not suitable for inclusion in distributions and is
recommended to not be packaged into any mainstream distribution update. Distribution vendors may repackage and provide experimental packages, but should include the above warning to users.
The first says that while it primarily focuses on adding R600 support, that it also has a number of bux fixes and improvements to all the previous products and works great for R300 through R500.
The second says that it's ONLY for the R600 and everyone else has to wait until the next release.
There is a definite difference between those two messages.

But this technique will need a grounding of your mind, a deep innocence. There are many techniques which are simple, the simplest possible: just a saying, "Be this one" - just a hint. But it must have been said by the master in a certain moment. "Be this one" cannot always be said. It must have been said in a certain tuning, when the disciple was totally one with the master, or totally with the universe, merged. Then the master says, "Be this one" - and suddenly the focus will change and the last part of the ego will dissolve.
These methods worked in the past but now it is difficult, very difficult, because you are so calculating, you are so clever. And being clever is just against being innocent. You are so calculating, you know too much arithmetic. This calculation goes on and on in the mind: whatsoever you do, it is always calculated, planned. You are never innocent, never open, receptive; you believe too much in yourself. Hence you go on missing. These methods won't be helpful for you unless you prepare. That preparation can be very long, and you are very impatient.
This age is basically the most impatient age that has ever happened on this earth. Everyone is impatient, everyone is too time-conscious, and everyone wants to do everything immediately. Not that it cannot be done - it can be done immediately. But with such time-consciousness it is impossible. People come to me and they say that they have come only for one day. The next day they are going to Sai Baba, and after meeting him they will go to Rishikesh, and then they will go somewhere else. Then they return frustrated and they think there is nothing India can give. It is not a question of whether India can give something or not, the question is always whether you can receive it or not. You are in such a hurry and you want something immediately. Just like instant coffee, you think of instant meditation, instant nirvana. It is not possible. Nirvana cannot be packed, cannot be made instant. Not that it is impossible to make it instant, it can become instant - but it can become instant only with the mind which is not after the instant. That's the problem. It can become instant. Immediately, this moment, it can happen. Not even a single moment is needed. But only to one who is relaxed about time completely, to one who can wait for infinity - for him it will happen instantly.
This looks paradoxical but this is the case. If you can wait for eternity, you will not need to wait at all. But if you cannot wait for even a single moment, you will have to wait for eternity. You will have to wait because the mind which says, "Let it happen immediately," is a mind which has already moved from the moment. It is running, it is standing nowhere, it is just on the move. A mind which is on the move, on the way, cannot be innocent.
You may not be aware of it but innocent people are always without time-consciousness. Time lingers slowly. There is no hurry to go anywhere, they are not running. They are enjoying moment to moment. They are chewing each moment. And each moment has its own ecstasy to deliver. But you are in such a hurry that it cannot be delivered. While you are here, your hands are in the future, your mind is in the future - you will miss this moment. And this will be always the case; you will always miss the now. And now is the only time! The future is false, the past is just memory. The past is no more, the future is yet to be - and all that ever happens is the now. Now is the only time.

WASHINGTON, DC--While underage drinking and drunk driving fatalities are at historic record low levels it is important to recognize there is still more that can be done. Today The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization funded by distillers dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking, recognized Congressman GT Thompson (R-PA) with its 2012 Leadership Award. During his tenure in the U.S. Congress Rep. Thompson has shown an outstanding commitment to fight drunk driving and underage drinking in Pennsylvania.
Congressman Thompson is a leader in the fight against drunk driving and underage drinking and has a long history of working to enrich the lives of Pennsylvania's youth through his work with the Boy Scouts and as a member of the Bald Eagle Area School Board. His background in therapy and rehabilitation services coupled with his work as a volunteer firefighter has made Congressman Thompson acutely aware of how a person's life can change forever in an instant.
In May, he went to Central Mountain Middle School in Mill Hall, Pennsylvania and led more than 300 8th grade students in the Ask, Listen, Learn program and interactive game. He spoke with students about making healthy lifestyle choices and about how making good decisions as a middle school student is crucial to each student's future. He stressed the importance of saying "no" to pressure to drink underage.
At an event on Capitol Hill in October, Congressman Thompson made it possible for The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility and Dr. Shaquille O'Neal to brief Congress on new research about the drinking habits of students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
"Congressman GT Thompson has been a tireless advocate for the people in Pennsylvania's 5th Congressional District," said Ralph Blackman, President and CEO of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. "His constituents should be proud of Congressman Thompson's leadership on these important issues facing our country's youth."
About The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is a national not-for-profit leader in the fight to eliminate drunk driving and underage drinking and is funded by the following distillers: Bacardi U.S.A., Inc.; Beam, Inc.; Brown-Forman; Constellation Brands, Inc.; DIAGEO; Hood River Distillers, Inc.; and Pernod Ricard USA. Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility promotes responsible decision making regarding beverage alcohol and develops and implements innovative programs and public awareness campaigns which ignite action through strategic partnerships. Established in 1991, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility's initiatives are highlighted on its website at www.responsibility.org.

OR grads told: Be not afraid of what the future holds
Saturday, June 15, 2013
DURHAM — With beach balls, tassels and mortar boards flying into the air, the Oyster River High School Class of 2013 celebrated their accomplishments together and looked ahead to their lives following high school.
"But perhaps you should fear failure just enough to want to avoid it," he said.
And regardless of how many failures crop up the path to one's goals or how many times failure is faced, he said it's important to not lose sight of what is important.
However, he cautioned against a commonly used pile of advice that regardless of how many times one fails, always follow your dreams.
Instead, Parson asked his peers, "What if I told you not to follow your dreams or plan?"
"I'm not telling you to YOLO off in college," he said, adding that he also wasn't saying someone should ignore their goals.
But, not knowing at the (average) graduating age of 18 where life will lead, it's equally as important not to ignore the unknown path.
"Embrace the unknown. Keep an open mind," he said.
Veering from common words of encouragement, he said to not follow set dreams and to not "map out your plan on the road of life."
Superintendent James Morse presented diplomas to graduates, including Giles Bricker Huddleston, son of University of New Hampshire President, Mark Huddleston, who was proudly snapping photographs under the tent as his son accepted his diploma.
Parsons received a standing ovation following his words and again introducing Allen.
Allen acknowledged Parsons' achievement of becoming the student ranked number one among his classmates.
Amid cheers, whistles, and applause for each of the graduates, camera flashes lit up the interior of the tent as graduates walked single file to the stage.
"I've had the privilege of knowing you since middle school," Allen said before the traditional move of the tassel signifying official graduation from high school.
"The Class of 2013 is a remarkable group of people," he said. "You are a caring and diverse group."
Anticipating his presence 10 years from now when the Class of 2013 will gather again for its 10th class reunion, Allen said he hopes to see then what he saw in the faces of graduates Friday evening.
"I want to hear the same enthusiasm that you have for life at 28 years old as you have now at 18 years old," he said.
Following is the list of Oyster River High School Class of 2013 graduates:
Kirsten Anderson, Austin Arsenault, Ian Avery-Leaf, Riley Batchelder, Lydia Beller-McKenna, Adam Bergeron, Andrew Berube, Lucas Bevins, Jessica Bloom, Aidan Bolduc, Jesse Bornkessel, Giles, Bricker-Huddleston, Emily Brisard, Eliza Mae Brown, Shauna Bulger, Lynn Burke, Chad Burns, Blake Caple, Cassidy, Carmichael, Sophie Casella, Thomas Caufield, Rachael Cavallaro, David Chen, Hunter Cinq-Mars, Seamus Clancy, JJ Clark, Madison Clement, Morgan Comeau, Adelia Couser, Brenna D'Amours, Brittany Daly, Christian Davis, Ariana Dawson, DJ DePasquale, Courtney Derosiers, Bekah Diamond Bier, Shelby Dillman, Zhanna Drum, Peter Dube, Ian James Elmslie, Morgan Fay, Luke Finacchiaro, Darby Finch, Lucas Finch, Nathaniel Fisk, Cam Flynn, Hannah Fritter, Thomas Garvey, Andrew Gass, Anna Genes, Hannah Grant, Alexander Gray, Connor Grove, Travis Hackett, Jeremy Halstead, William Hamrick, Alex Hanson, George Harmon, Alexandra Harris, Daniel Hart, Zander Hobbs, Rebecca Hoff, Cooper Hoffman, Stephanie Hollister, Melissa Holovich, Drew Horton,

Winnipeg, MB

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Posted: 10/29/2013 1:00 AM | Comments: 0

Eight of Winnipeg's top chefs brought their A-game to Friday night's sold-out Gold Medal Plates competition at the Convention Centre, but it was chef Kelly Cattani of Elements the Restaurant, by Diversity who emerged as the golden girl.
She will go on to represent Winnipeg at the national Gold Medal Plates competition in Kelowna, B.C., next February.
Tim Palmer from The Velvet Glove snagged the silver medal while Simon Resch from Terrace in the Park took home the bronze.
Other competitors were Eric Lee (Pizzeria Gusto), Tristan Foucault (Peasant Cookery), Terry Gereta (Mise, Haute Prairie Cuisine), Michael Schafer (Sydney's at the Forks) and Jason Sopel (Chaise Restaurant & Lounge).
Gold Medal Plates is an annual culinary competition that raises funds for the Canadian Olympic Foundation, which supports high-performance athletic programs such as Own the Podium. Winnipeg's event was one of 10 staged across Canada this fall.
Each chef was responsible for a regionally influenced appetizer and a wine or beverage pairing. Each dish was then judged on visual presentation, texture, taste, wine compatibility, originality and wow factor by a panel of judges that included last year's Winnipeg winner, ñsten Rice of Wasabi Sabi, and renowned food writer James Chatto, among others.
For local chefs, Gold Medal Plates offers a unique opportunity to break from routine and engage in some friendly competition. The Winnipeggers and Olympians in attendance, meanwhile, get to savour the fruits of their labour.
This was Cattani's second year going for the gold. She was remarkably calm and focused during setup, amid a room buzzing with excited, nervous energy. "Last year was very stressful," she recalled. "I'm much more relaxed this year because I know what to expect."
Indeed, she learned from experience, electing to keep her winning dish -- a Manitoba elk, avocado, soba and soy appetizer -- simple. "Last year we had 20 components on the plate," she said with a laugh. "I stand by that dish. That was some of the best cooking I've ever done. Well, apart from this year."
While less elaborate than last year's, the year's dish still involved some risk-taking. Cattani's appetizer was the only cold dish on the menu.
"(Cold dishes are) a little more challenging. The flavours have to be able to stand together; you have no room to adjust them. They have to be able to pop. And I really wanted to use elk. Manitoba-raised elk is so gorgeous, and it's not a meat I get to work with on a regular basis."
The dish was a big hit among many of the evening's guests, including Olympic rower Janine Hanson, a Winnipegger who won a silver medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. "It's delicious," she raved. "It has lots of flavour."
Hanson has been attending Gold Medal Plates events for the past couple years. "I love it," she said. "It's nice to do to something so different. It's not just another dinner."
Indeed, Gold Medal Plates offers more than your average fundraising dinner. Winnipeggers Cal and Nadia Harrison are self-described foodies, so Gold Medal Plates is right up their alley.
"We're always impressed with the quality and variety of food, with a Winnipeg twist," Cal said.
"It's a great way to support the athletes and spend some time with them," Nadia added.
For chefs, it's also a chance to revisit ideas that don't make it on to regular menus. Mise's Gereta offered up a deconstructed grilled cheese and bacon, with Gimli apple jelly and Quebec popping foie, which combined a French delicacy with a childhood one: Pop Rocks.
"It was one of those ongoing ideas we have in the kitchen that we shelve and bring out for special occasions," Gereta said.
Sopel was the new kid on the block. His St. Boniface spot, Chaise Lounge, is less than a year old. Sopel, who grew up in Yorkton, Sask., and was living in Edmonton before relocating to Winnipeg, put his Prairie provenance on his plate with bison short-rib perogies -- his grandmother's recipe, naturally.
Sopel was thrilled to be included in this year's competition.
"There are lots of chefs here who have been (in Winnipeg) a long time," he said. "It's exciting to be at the same calibre."

text: Jedburgh Camping and Caravanning Club Site (43 reviews) from £5.60 to £9.50 Per person/night Contact Us Book It Images Video Map Select Section Overview A peaceful haven in the Scottish Borders. If you're wanting to explore the Scottish Borders or on the way to or from Scotland, our Jedburgh Club campsite is the ideal stop off. Located close to the pretty border market town of the same name, this campsite is also perfect for walkers. Jedburgh is a small campsite – just fifty pitches – catering for all types of camper including backpackers. Tent campers have their own separate tree-lined, level area and there is a recreation field beyond. Facilities include toilets, showers, laundry and a wash up area. There's a lovely riverside walk into town, if you're lucky you may spot some of the local bird and wildlife. Once in Jedburgh you can follow a two-mile historic town trail which takes in some of the local landmarks – Jedburgh Castle Jail, Queen Mary's House and Bonnie Prince Charlie's House. More seasoned walkers will enjoy the campsite's proximity to St Cuthbert's Way and the Borders Abbey Way. Jedforest Deer and Farm Park just south of Jedburgh as well as lots of animals to see, has a falconry centre and a wooded adventure playground. Jedburgh is also handy for visiting more border towns including Duns, Kelso, Coldstream and Galashiels. The 250 square mile Keilder Water and Forest Park is a short drive away, offering a range of activities including walking, cycling, star gazing, sailing and canoeing. Jedburgh is also ideal for anyone wishing to experience the unique common ridings – a spectacular display of horsemanship commemorating the centuries old patrolling of the border country. Worth Noting Please note that TV reception can be poor. Rock pegs are required for awnings on hardstandings. WiFi 100% coverage cannot be guaranteed due to rural location, weather conditions and changing flora. These can cause variable signal strength. Hotspots are available. Prices. Eat Local Two independent butchers in the town source all their meat locally. There are two local bakers within a few miles of Site. The Simply Scottish restaurant serves predominantly Scottish food and the nearby fish and chip shop also sells Scottish fish. Facilities Jedburgh has the following facilities on or around the site.

PamD (Club Member) stayed Sep 2014 This review is for Jedburgh We had passed by many times on our trips to Scotland but had not stayed at the site - though we had used the garage across the road for diesel and also the retail outlets. We decided to stay for a couple of nights and were very glad we did. The welcome was warm and staff provided a map and were informative about the various attractions including the Castle Museum and Prison and Mary Queen of Scots House, both of which are free admission but appreciate donations. The 50p audio guide at the Prison is well worth the money too. The abbey is impressive but there is an admission charge. The riverside walk in to town recommended by the site staff is much more pleasant than going a long the main road would be and it brings you out at the bottom of the High Street, at the top of which the Simply Scottish coffee shop had outdoor seating and brought fresh water for the dogs before we had even sat down! There were also some places near the Abbey that had outdoor seating too. Belters Bar allows dogs in and does food (mainly different sorts of burgers or steak) and is at the bottom of Castlegate. Butcher on the High Street does nice pies and we bought a haggis which is in the freezer for later. We were down the bottom of the site near the football pitch and it certainly felt more open and pleasanter than some of the pitches along the road which looked close together and narrow. Facilities much as described by others: rather outdated but kept clean and the water was nice and hot in the showers. Would we stay again? - very possibly. Location: Town Suitable For: Older couples,Younger couples Friendliness: 5 Cleanliness: 4 Facilities: 3 Expand review Recommended: no 3.3 Totally agree with the previous comments. Su (Club Member) stayed Sep 2014 This review is for Jedburgh Totally agree with the previous comments. Whilst the lady was most welcoming,the place was in desperate need of a refurbishment that would bring it at least into the present day. The managers had, it seemed, made a great job with what they have been given but having clean loos is not enough I am afraid as that should be a given. We spent all night sweeping out the van as every time we went out to walk the dog or nip to the loo we were bringing in gravel and dust. This was because the pitches needed regrading...awful...would recommend Jedburgh but not this site I am afraid, glad we only booked 1 night as we would have asked for our money back. The field at the side was good for running our dogs but the site is altogether very disappointing.

Dennis T OConnor's curator insight, February 21, 1:10 PM
This is no hoax. This find says something reassuring about printing on paper.
Surprisingly, modern telecommunications are part of the picture as Conan Doyle's portrayal of 'editorial demands' set's the scene.
I suspect most modern writers and nearly all bloggers are part- time workers at "Institute of Fiction" and reminded that card carrying members of the 'Faculty of Imagination".
The article includes a link to the full manuscript. I've read and re-read all of the Sherlock Holmes stories many times. What a treat!

Linda Buckmaster's curator insight, February 10, 4:20 AM
Students need to know that evidence-based persuasive writing is more than just an academic exercise — it is very much alive in the real world. Perhaps one of the best and most widely recognised examples of persuasive writing in action is the classic newspaper editorial.
Mike Dilger's curator insight, December 25, 2014 4:03 PM
Augmented Reality will impact on education in the future If not already. Get on board and explore the possibilities. Very exciting. Can be tough at first but worth pushing through the pain.

Ah the things we can do with mobile phones and big net tech. A project using Aurasma could make your school year sing.

"Ehrman is not an agenda-bender."
I've 'read' all of Bart Ehrman's audiobooks plus his lecture series offered elsewhere and viewed his Youtube lectures because the subject matter is interesting and entertaining.
The premise of this book is the least interesting to me because I already believe that Jesus did exist in the flesh.So this is preaching to the choir.
I did not enjoy the book at first for that reason, but in the usual Bart way it still hooked me -though it took longer. Ehrman responds to many writers -point by point- who don't believe Jesus really existed. His own belief is that a man named Jesus did exist and this is pretty much the view of biblical scholars.
I read a criticism that this book dismisses writers who are outside of academia and that those inside academia would not be there if they did not believe Jesus existed. So they are all biased. This is true. True in the same way that academic biologists all believe in evolution and are biased against creationism.
After discussing and refuting many of the arguments that Jesus was just a fabrication, and many of the beliefs held in that era, then we get back onto familiar turf with discussions of contextual criticisms, sources and a final look at what Jesus may have been like and actually said. (The good stuff).
The contextual criticism is covered in many other Ehrman works of course, but I still got quite a bit from this because one does not absorb it all the first time if one is not taking notes and reviewing it.
The principle discussion was informative too. It discussed what we know about Jesus and informed me of the arguments others make about Jesus being a fabrication along with many of the curious beliefs of that period which I did not know. If you like to hear about the early Jesus movement, this is more Ehrman gold, though not completely new. That is fine by me. What I really like about the writer is his scholarship and his pursuit of the truth no matter where it leads. The book comes across as a logical, fully informed work that doesn't have a particular agenda. Ehrman is not an agenda-bender.That is worth so much in learning about Jesus and why I like his work so much.
"Real Life Forensic Files"
If you like forensic shows I think you will like this real life audiobook. It's an autobiography of a doctor who changed to autopsy in NYC. 'Kept my interest!
"Jesus wasn't the only man to become a god."
I thought my playback speed was set at 1.5x because the narration is so fast. Too fast.
For fans of Ehrman, "Ehrheads", this book covers themes from his lectures and earlier books: contextual criticism, versions the bible etc. with emphasis on the myth and culture at the time Jesus changed from man to a god. 'Compares Roman gods and the continuum from human to divinity and how this process compares to Jesus' ascension.
It can be tedious at times because of its academic nature and detail but if you want to get down to it, this is the real thing explained in his unbiased manner. Stunning thing: Jesus probably wasn't buried.
"A great discussion of human evolution/physiology"
I love human evolution books. This one didn't get started for me until well into the 2nd chapter because it is basic knowledge. The rest of the book goes into length and specifics discussing hominid development from a physiological perspective. I am familiar with most of the material from other audiobooks but enjoyed the overview. It is easy to follow and discusses how pre-humans and early humans compare. 4 stars because much of the info is standard fair.
This is a good science book for audio.
It may be too familiar for some listeners [nerds] who are familiar with the topic.
"A Fun Easy Book"
A light read. I found this book a nice tonic to some of my Heavy books. This book laughs at stuff in pop-culture from the past decades. You probably know about many already like New Coke. The book is written in two voices: the pop-culture part and the sports part. It's fun to hear about other people messing up. 'Makes ya feel not so dumb after all.
"Not Scientific Enough"
This is not the book I was looking for. The first two chapters describe the importance of eating together and how we eat more processed (not cooked) food. The next three chapters cover barbequing and the authors adventure barbequing with a master. At this point I stopped. I wanted a scientific listen and find it in: "Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human." This book is referenced a couple of times in "Cooked". While I am a Pollan fan, and it is unfair to review a book without finishing it, I wanted something more thought provoking.
"Keep Looking"
Therapists learn from their patients. Surprise.
If you are looking for a behind-the-curtain look into therapy, keep looking. The narration goes on an on about what you will do as a therapist. Schools of thought are mentioned but not discussed. I wanted to hear true life stories of success and failure in the field.
I should be higher minded, but I also wanted to hear crazy stuff people reveal in therapy.
But it wasn't there.
It is mostly a guy going on and on about what a therapist is, not an in-depth look at what therapists do. I made it half way through.
"Surprising Great Listen"
Well written and spoken. 'Love the narrator. The bad reviews are those who passionately disagree with the conclusion that semi-automatic guns should be banned.
The round up of incidents where a guy goes out and kills people =seemingly randomly= is pretty shocking even though I know all of them. The writing is very witty and in the moment. Well worth the listen.
"Stick it out for the second half"
I didn't find the first half of the book interesting and stopped listening. Randomly, one day I started listening to the second part. (The book downloads in two parts.) I enjoyed the second half quite a bit and was glad I got it.
"Very similar to "Inside Scientology""
'Very, very similar to Inside Scientology. Both books cover the formation and history of Lafayette Ron Hubbard's Dianetics book success. But Hubbard did not have control over the groups that formed around the philosophy and the profits. Thus came a group with tax free status: a church, which charges you for advancing within it.
Of the two books, I preferred this one more, tho' both are great and fascinating listens. Both are well narrated too.
If you have wondered what Scientology is all about, this is a very entertaining and factual way to find out.
"Doing everything except what you should"
My brother once said, "Did you ever notice how everything is more interesting when you have homework looming? Even bad TV?" Well this short book discusses why that is. It will get you thinking about your procrastinating and when you are likely to do it.
You know better. Still you persist.
I found this discussion of putting-things-off humorous, honest and real. It does not make lists of helpful tools so you can cure your bad habit. Instead the author just assumes that you procrastinate and will continue to do so. And the discussion goes from there. For some reason that works for changing my habits more than those hokey "you should" books. This book is as long as a movie. Once started, I didn't procrastinate. I listened to the entire book in one evening. It was fun and thought provoking and I think helpful.
